After guessing our age, Microsoft now thinks it can recognize human emotions through digital images. The tool is called Emotion Recognition, and all it needs from you is your photo, and its algorithm does the rest. Check if it works!
After so many years on the scene, one would think that Microsoft already has a whole galaxy of laptops behind it, but the Microsoft Surface Book is only the first laptop of this biggest software company in the world. They unveiled a compact laptop that is much more than just that at their recent gala conference. The head of the team behind it, Panos Panay, has called it the "ultimate laptop". Its 13.5-inch screen can also be used as a tablet, as the screen detaches from the keyboard.
Microsoft recently announced that the Windows 10 operating system will be released on July 29, 2015. With it, the tech giant will try to regain the trust it lost with Windows 8, but before history begins to judge the tens, let's see what path they Windows had to go through to get to where they are. Windows retrospective, everything from DOS, the golden days of OS Windows 98 and XP, to the quirk we call Windows 8.
Don't worry, we won't get you excited about pixels, frame rate, or anything like that. What we have is a video showing off the muscles of a new computer program. Bored, right? No. Namely, it is a DirectX 12 program or graphics booklet that will guide all your toy trips to imaginary worlds in the future. And the results it gives are absolutely fantastic. And eerily realistic. Check.
How-Old.net is a new website from Microsoft that tries to guess your age based on a photo. The matter could not be simpler. You select the photo you want and the website will use facial recognition algorithms to determine your age and gender. Yes, we know you know how old you are, but who doesn't want to check out how old Microsoft thinks we are. You'll be checking others anyway. Definitely a fun way to kill time.
Internet Explorer is history. Well, at least as far as future Windows operating systems are concerned, since a successor has been announced for some time. It was presented as Spartan in the trial version of Windows 10, but now Microsoft has revealed the official name - Microsoft Edge. It will become the official web browser of the upcoming Windows 10 operating system.
Although games like Pasjanja, Srca, and Minesweeper had many loyal followers, Microsoft removed them from Windows 8. Modern versions appeared in the Windows Store, but nothing beats the classics. Microsoft has apparently realized its mistake and announced the return of Solitaire, which returns as an auto-installed game on Windows 10.
Microsoft returns with a fresh vision of the near future, which is also packaged every year in a video entitled Productivity Future Vision, in which it presents its technological favorites of the future. He will somehow play a big role in it, probably bigger than ever, that is, if his predictions, which he summarized in a 6-minute video, come true. It is clear, however, that new technologies are radically changing our everyday life and work. But what does this mean for the future?
Looking for an affordable smartphone that doesn't come from the iOS or Android camp? Then the 145-gram Microsoft Lumia 640 LTE may be the right answer. You won't have to wait long for it either (somewhere until the beginning of April), so you can slowly prepare approx. 240 euros. And although it will still be waiting for you with the mobile operating system Windows Phone 8.1, it has all the predispositions to "compete" with the upcoming Windows 10 as well.
At the mobile conference MWC 2015, Microsoft's mobile universal keyboard, which is only half a year old, got a foldable version, which is equally intended for devices with the Windows operating system and mobile operating systems Android or iOS, and it has now added the missing Windows Phone OS to its list. Spill-resistant, durable, quickly adaptable, and above all, small, foldable and as thin as an empty men's wallet, it is an indispensable companion for a smartphone or tablet.
Microsoft continues to push the boundaries with its Lumia smartphones, but not so much in terms of user experience and technology itself, but rather the price, which continues to slide down. Which is clearly encouraging news, as the Lumia, with the working name of RM-1099, should be available for less than 60 euros. Obviously, you won't get a Fittipaldi for this, but it will satisfy all those users who still use smartphones "on a whim" or who are not too demanding.
