In Windows 10 updates a recent build 9860 has a feature that Microsoft did not mention: play MKV video formats without installing any additional software. If you do not know is MKV format is used very commonly in sharing high definition movies, but does want to play these files on Windows, we have to install an external app like K-Lite , VLC, ABC Player. And with Windows 10, MKV support available and we can quickly open files using Windows Media Player, extremely comfortable. Although an error message pops up saying was undeliverable but if we click "Yes", the movie is still playing as usual.

Playstation 4 Sold 40% More Xbox One

The eternal dispute based on the sales figures of the Playstation 4 and Xbox One is more alive than ever. Those responsible for Ars Technica decided to shed light on the controversial issue by publishing an ad hoc report.

World statistics were steady in April 2014, when the Playstation 4 was able to increase to nearly seven million units sold, up from five million Xbox One. The document includes the data updated in September 2014, once again being led by Sony, thanks to 10.56 million of gaming machines sold, while Microsoft has been able to place 7.42 million units.

Ars Technical thunders then a gap of sales by about 40% between the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, although of course we are faced with a range of estimates reported by other industry experts.
There are certainly facing unexpected data. Playstation 4 continues to sell due to several factors. The more powerful hardware, the presence of several different bundles and the presence of well-supported service Playstation Plus are only some of the elements that are making tip the balance in favor of Sony.

Microsoft will really be able to reverse this trend or will have to resign themselves to the way of eternal second? Only time will answer this question.

Nokia Devices Is Now Microsoft Lumia

As a direct consequence of Microsoft's 2013 acquisition of the Finnish group's mobile devices division, the Nokia name will soon be phased out and replaced by Microsoft Lumia, according to The Verge. The new name echoes that of Nokia's Windows Phone device range sold since 2011.

Nokia France is among the first local divisions preparing to transition its social media accounts to the new name. "We are about to become Microsoft Lumia," the company announced to its followers on Facebook. The Nokia name will not disappear entirely, as the original Finnish company still exists as Nokia Networks, which focuses on networking, mapping and telecommunications infrastructure. Nonetheless, the disappearance of Nokia as a phone brand marks the end of an era.

The Finnish manufacturer was among the leading pioneers in the mobile phone industry, launching several models as early as the 1980s. More importantly, Nokia was also the world's top-selling mobile phone brand for around 15 years before being overtaken by Samsung in 2012. Several Nokia phones released over this period were so popular that they are still regarded as symbols of their time (3310, 8110, etc.). But the brand quickly fell behind in the smartphone market led by Apple and Samsung.
