With Windows 10 coming on July 29, you'll want to make sure your PC, applications and various devices will all play nice before you reserve and upgrade. Fortunately, Microsoft has made it easy to do within the Get Windows 10 tool that appears on all copies of Windows 7 and 8.

Upgrading your copy of Windows to 10 should be seamless, but you want to make sure set up is actually ready beforehand. That new Windows icon down in your system tray will let you do more than reserve your copy of Windows 10 for free. As Fatima Wahab at AddictiveTips points out, it can also check your whole system to make sure everything is all set for the upgrade. It's pretty simple to do:

* Click the Get Windows 10 icon in your system tray in the lower-right section of your desktop.
* Click the hamburger menu in the upper-left corner.
* Under "Getting the upgrade," select Check your PC.

If you're all set and ready for the upgrade when it comes, you'll be given a good to go message. Otherwise, you'll see a list of devices and apps that aren't supported.

Device issues could mean a monitor won't display properly at the highest resolution, or some speakers won't be able to play audio with the upgrade. Apps that are listed as unsupported will need to be uninstalled before you start the upgrade process. Of course, a driver update or patch install may fix those issues as well, so check again if you can find updates.

The distress among Samsung users increases day by day. Yesterday it was the security issue with Swift key pad and today comes the issue of mysterious chip that is embedded behind the wrapped cover of the battery.


Tons of queries reached our mail and fan page about this issue. Now we came out with an answer.
Getting into past, a facebook post has outraged the fears of Samsung users. The post tells that there is a secret micro chip which is embedded behind the wrapped cover of the battery. It is a mechanism by which the government can have an eye on you. Technically it is used to spy on you. On seeing this many users began to unwrap their battery covers to remove the chip.
Under our observations we understood that it is not a surveillance chip but instead a NFC chip.

Usually these chips are fixed under the battery covers. The users who are ignorant in the view of technology mistook this chip as a surveillance chip.
So we advice not to play with your batteries as they might explode :-)

In no time One Plus revealed another feature of its upcoming product One Plus 2.

Making the announcement on its Google+ page and Twitter, the company spokesperson posted, "Our second spec revealed: The OnePlus2 will be the first flagship smartphone to use the latest Type C USB. We want to lead the way in power connectivity." 

The highlight of the USB Type-C cable is that it's reversible so you don't need to check which side of the connector is up while inserting it. The Type-C port on the OnePlus 2 could allow file transfer speeds up to 10Gbps and allow the smartphone to charge faster. 

At the moment, Apple's new 12-inch MacBook is one of the few devices to feature the USB Type-C port. Chinese device maker LeTV had also launched phones with USB Type-C but the devoces are available only in China. 

OnePlus had recently confirmed that the OnePlus 2 will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor version 2.1. 

"Although there have been reports that the 810 runs warmer than its predecessors, we assure you that we have taken all the necessary precautions and beyond to prevent this from occurring in the 2. We worked very closely with Qualcomm's engineers to integrate an improved version of the chipset (v2.1) in the OnePlus 2, and fine-tuned both hardware and software. The 2 will be "cooler than ever," it said in a blog post addressing heating concerns around the processor. 

It's likely that the OnePlus 2 will be introduced in July although the company has given a Q3 timeline.
