Windows 10 Build 9860 Available Support For MKV Video File Formats



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.

This is also the first time Microsoft brings the ability to read files on the built-in Windows MKV despite the deployment of this feature is still in the early stages. Hopefully it will be completed in the near future in order to simplify the use of the user's computer.

Samsung Sells 4.5 Million Galaxy Note 4



The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 has officially landed in our markets, which began its journey yesterday after starting their distribution roughly a month ago in his native South Korea and China.

Today we know the first sales figures to be perhaps the most important terminal of the Year for the Android platform, because thanks to a Korean local media has emerged that in its first month, Samsung Galaxy Note sold through four 4 million.

They are similar to those recorded by its predecessor figures, as the Note 3 harvested 5 million units sold in the same period, and should be taken into account if we notice that only sold in a handful of countries while still in the process of expansion its global launch.

Apple Will Open 25 New Stores In China Over The Next Two Years


At the beginning of his new career at Apple, Angela Ahrendths said that among the objectives that arose within the Californian was the expansion of the Chinese market. Probably as a result of the huge success of the iPhone and especially iPhone 6 6 Plus, Apple has decided that the next two years will open another 25 Apple Store in the land of dragons.

Shanghai Apple Store China is the most populous country in the world and the third largest region, on the basis of these considerations, it is also obvious that Apple is planning to branch out further the presence of its store in the area.

To start the project in the mind of Cook, recently on a visit to Foxconn, has also received the extraordinary success of the new iPhone, particularly in the Plus version. The business plans are operated on the opening of a further 25 Store in the next 2 years. Currently in China there are 15 Apple Store, 8 of which are scattered between Shanghai and Beijing, Apple's goal for the next branch openings, however, is its sales outside of the most westernized.

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.
One of the things that most concern at this time to all owners of a smartphone is to know when your particular model will be updated. Owners of a Motorola phone are calm, and quite possibly in November we can enjoy the new version of +Android. Others, however, are still unsure and when many of these phones have never been exactly cheap. Well if any of you have Samsung Galaxy S5 can be happy, is that since SamMobile said the flagship Samsung Note not counting the range could have Lollipop Android5.0 during the month of December. 

In this story we told you about a month ago rumors, but according to SamMobile own, these new rumors come from a reliable source so it is almost one hundred percent in December likely to appear early S5 running under Lollipop. If anyone wants to know how to run Android on a Galaxy Lollipop S5, we show a few weeks ago a video showing a preview. Anyway you have to keep in mind that the first Samsung Galaxy S5 to be updated will be free, also it will not be the same time in all regions and also those who have chosen a terminal telephone operator, may update occurs during 2015. 

Still, it's good to know how brands are taking seriously the update many of its models to the latest version of Android, and that mark is that he chooses not to upgrade to Lollipop possibly the most anticipated Android version of above Ice Cream Sandwich- even may lose the favor of users and that today would dig his own grave.

Sony Reportedly Set To Launch a 12-inch Tablet In 2015



According to sources in the Taiwanese supply chain, Sony is preparing to enter the ultra-size tablet market, as are a selection of other unspecified mobile vendors. Sony is apparently set to launch a 12-inch tablet in the first quarter of 2015.

Being such a large size, it’s likely that Sony will pack the huge tablet with a high resolution display and will have to accompany that with a beefy processor and other high-end specifications. This will be the case according to the sources, and Sony will be targeting the 12-inch tablet at markets with a high demand for graphics-related applications.

However, this tablet isn’t expected to experience very high demand, as only a limited supply is apparently heading through the supply chain. Instead, Sony could be testing consumer appetites for larger tablets with a smaller roll-out before deciding if it’s a market segment it would like to commit to in the long term.

Sony’s 12-inch tablet will likely be targeted at laptop users looking for something a little more portable. Think Microsoft’s 12-inch Surface Pro 3 or Samsung’s 12.2 inch Galaxy Note PRO. It will be interesting to see how successful Sony’s tablet turns out to be.
