Microsoft introduces Music and Video Preview apps for Windows 10 build 10049


Yesterday, Microsoft released Project Spartan browser in the latest Windows 10 build. 

 Today, the company is adding Music and Video Preview apps for the latest Windows 10 

 build (10049).

These apps are replacing Xbox Music and Xbox Video apps and shedding the Xbox 

 branding. The Music app will let users browse, stream, play local songs and make playlists. 

 Other features like dark theme, right click context menu, compact mode and others will be 

 soon added to the app. If you have an Xbox Music Pass, you can browse our full catalog and 

 stream or download music for offline use and discover new music with artist radio stations.

UI/UX MUSINGS

1. Who else noticed this? . Unlike Facebook/twitter/Instagram where a "follow/friend request" can be canceled if you aren't interested in connecting any longer, LinkedIn's "connect/ invite" button doesn't have an "undo/cancel" feature from its #pending state. So, once you send an invite request....gooone! . Why so? I don't quite get that part(yet). Is it some deliberate smart engineering in UI usability? or someone just forgot something really important? 2 For those with connections >500, LinkedIn only shows "500+" connections on your profile like it's some upper limit. What's the big idea behind this? . Is there any psychology behind not showing the exact number of connections one has once it exceeds 500? . You know...does it dissuade people from treating LinkedIn the same way they treat IG, Facebook, Twitter, where much focus is placed on amassing the most followers in short time? . #justWondering 3

What is 802.11ax WiFi, and do you really need a 10Gbps connection to your laptop?

What is 802.11ax WiFi, and do you really need a 10Gbps connection to your laptop? If you thought that your new 802.11ac router’s max speed of 1,300Mbps was pretty crazy, think again: With 802.11ac fully certified and out the door, the Wi-Fi Alliance has started looking at its successor, 802.11ax — and boy do the early draft specs and transfer speeds look good. While you will probably be hard pushed to get more than 400Mbps to your smartphone via 802.11ac, 802.11ax should be into the 2Gbps+ range. In a lab-based trial of technology similar to 802.11ax, Huawei recently hit a max speed of 10.53Gbps, or around 1.4 gigabytes of data transfer per second. 802.11ax is going to be  fast . But what is it exactly? What is 802.11ax WiFi? The easiest way to think of 802.11ax is to  start with 802.11ac  — which allows for up to four different spatial streams (MIMO) — and then to massively increase the spectral efficiency (and thus max throughput) of each

The Young Nigerian Developer

Image
Every known developer in this world had a starting point. I was reading a blog post on  TechCrunch Onion  website about the winners of Techcrunch Disrupt NY 2017 Hackathon and I noticed that the winners were not more than 17 years of age and worked on virtual reality. In my mind, I was trying to convince myself that it is because of their location that is why it is like that.  But, Forget! That is no excuse. We can do much better too. Now, as a young Nigerian developer coming across programming at 18 years or maybe you went to a good primary or secondary school and you were introduced to programming at 13 years, I am going to be writing about how to improve yourself to become better in your field of choice. Hope you learn from this! Drill Yourself It is important as a young developer to drill yourself by getting to familiarize yourself with basic concepts in computer science, computer programming and also, the basics of your choice programming language. Many young developers
