A less expensive and more portable version of the Surface Pro 4 is finally here. At Mobile World Congress, Alcatel unveiled the Plus 10, its first 2-in-1 Windows 10 tablet, with a 10-inch screen and keyboard dock for productivity. The Plus 10 has 2GB of RAM and a 1.92 GHz Intel processor. The screen isn't going to compete with the Retina displays of the world because it is only 1,280 x 800. There are two front-facing speakers flanking the screen. Alcatel didn't announce pricing for the Plus 10. It'll be released in Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa this June. There's no word on if it'll ever come to the U.S.
After seeing warnings about it for over a year, Windows 10 users are now being told to ditch Adobe Flash once and for all. The multimedia software platform powered many pre-YouTube animated videos like Homestar Runner. But now, Gizmodo reports Adobe Flash is officially ancient technology. As of December 31, 2020, Adobe stopped supporting the software. Updating Windows 10 will only remove the Adobe Flash Player that was installed by your version of Windows—not if you installed it manually from elsewhere. Once the update is applied, Adobe Flash will be removed from the Control Panel. Windows 10 users will not be able to roll back the update. Users can also uninstall Flash via Adobe’s website.
Google is buying a team of engineers from HTC’s smartphone division… for 1.1 billion dollars. Google isn’t buying a direct stake in HTC. It instead will have licensing rights to HTC’s intellectual property. The billion-dollar deal doesn’t mean the end of HTC’s smartphone business, but analysts predict its days are numbered. With 1.1 billion dollars in hand HTC is expected to concentrate on next generation tech, including developing its VR business. There’s also a high chance HTC will form closer ties with Google in the development of AR and VR applications.
We’re less than a week away from Star Trek: Discovery’s long-anticipated launch, and the titles of the first four episodes of the CBS All Access prequel series have just been announced. Set 10 years before the events of the original Star Trek series, Star Trek: Discovery follows Commander Michael Burnham (The Walking Dead‘s Sonequa Martin-Green), a human Starfleet officer who was raised by the Vulcan ambassador – and father to series icon Spock – Sarek. The series is said to revolve around an important event in the Federation’s history, and while plot details have been closely guarded, we know the Klingons will play a pivotal role – even if they look completely different from any prior iteration. The show is also the first return to the Prime timeline since the end of Star Trek: Enterprise in 2005, as the popular J.J. Abrams films take place in an alternate universe known as the Kelvin timeline. As anticipation for the series reaches a fever pitch, we finally know what the first few episodes will be called, and fans will undoubtedly be scouring them for clues. The titles were revealed in a dramatic new promo video via the official Star Trek Twitter, which you can check out above. The series premiere, entitled ‘The Vulcan Hello’, is both an obvious reference to the famous “live long and prosper” Vulcan greeting, as well as a nod to Commander Burnham’s status as a child of both Earth and Vulcan. ‘Battle at the Binary Stars’ is both mysterious and strangely poetic, seemingly backing up the trailer’s promise that this will be the most action-packed Star Trek series ever. ‘Context is For Kings’ brings to mind the series producers’ claims that they’ve taken some story cues from the morally darker world of Game of Thrones. ‘The Butcher’s Knife Cares Not For The Lamb’s Cry’ is the most opaque of the announced titles, and yet its grandiose metaphor is the title that most strongly channels the original series’ penchant for big, operatic themes. Star Trek fans are likely anxious for Discovery’s premiere. The news that critics are embargoed from posting reviews of the show before its premiere has given some fans pause, and the liberties the show is taking with some of Star Trek’s most bedrock tropes have long been cause for concern. That said, Star Trek will be in a much healthier place as a franchise if Discovery ends up being a hit both among hardcore fans and potential CBS All Access subscribers. We’ll find out soon. Star Trek: Discovery premieres Sunday, September 24 on CBS. The remaining episodes will stream exclusively on CBS All-Access.
Ultrabooks are great laptops because they have lightning fast SSD storage and have very low power consumption. They are thin, light, and easy to bring with you anywhere.
