Watch Apple’s ‘Hey Siri’ Event Live on Windows 10
Even though I’m a Microsoft fan, I like to know what’s happening on the other side of the spectrum. Today there’s rumor that Apple is launching the iPad Pro and I would like to know how it will stack up against the Microsoft’s Surface Pro which is a wonderful device and runs the whole Windows OS.

Watch Apple’s WWDC event on Windows & Android
I’m no fan of Apple – unlike my brother – but I like to see what they are coming up next with. And WWDC is the place to know the latest updates to Apple’s iOS and their other applications. The problem is that Apple only likes to preach to their faithful, so there are restrictions in place to view the event. Live streaming the keynote requires any of these:
- Safari on OS X v10.8.5 or later;
- Safari on iOS 6.0 or later.
- Streaming via Apple TV (2nd of 3rd generation with software 6.2 or later)
If you have what it takes, you can watch the keynote live here. There’s also an official WWDC app available.
But, what about Windows or Linux or Android? Continue reading

How to install iOS and Android SDKs for Visual Studio 2013 Premium & Ultimate
I was going to install Visual Studio Community 2013, but it asked me to uninstall Visual Studio 2013. I started checking some demos about Visual Studio Community 2013 (you can check the demo from Channel 9) and noticed that you can install the same tools as in Visual Studio Community 2013 to Visual Studio 2013. So let’s get started.
Updated – A FREE fully-featured edition of Visual Studio!
Among yesterday’s great product launches by Microsoft, was the FREE unrestricted version of Visual Studio – Visual Studio Community Edition 2013. What I didn’t notice is that “this version lets developers target any platform from desktop and mobile to web and cloud”. Instead of waiting for Visual Studio 2015, we can start creating Android and iOS applications as from today!
Create iOS and Android apps using Visual Studio and .NET
Microsoft today announced some amazing news:
- Preview versions of the next generation versions of Visual Studio and .NET
- A new free and full-featured Visual Studio Community edition
- Open up Visual Studio and .NET to developers on all major platforms by open-sourcing the core .NET server stack
First the big news. Microsoft just launched the preview versions of Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 2015. This release includes the “Roslyn” .NET compiler platform, new language features in C#, improved debugging and profiling, and code analysis tools. And the biggest new of all – VS2015 supports “C#, C++ and HTML/JavaScript development targeting iOS, Android, Windows and more.” There’s even a Visual Studio Emulator for Android (see picture below). I’m drooling! Continue reading
Bye Bye Nokia Lumia
Yesterday, 11th November, Microsoft officially unveiled their first Microsoft Lumia – Microsoft Lumia 535 It has the same design like most other Lumia’s, the biggest difference of all is the name. No more Nokia! I have been using Nokia phones like forever. At first I didn’t think the logo would make a difference. I love everything Microsoft so I thought I wouldn’t have any problems. But the Microsoft logo on a Lumia, at least for me, is really a no no. Continue reading
