Microsoft Is Getting Rid Of Clip Art

There are many things that the next generation of geek won’t get to experience for themselves.

The sound of the 56k modem connecting when your parents are sleeping in the next room

Burning CDs.

Being somewhere and not knowing something, and just having to deal with it because you don’t have a space computer with pretty much all of humanity’s collective knowledge in your pocket.

The latest pillar…

Sony’s e-ink-powered FES Watch (Fashion Entertainments Watch) has been hiding in plain sight for months on Japanese crowdfunding site Makuake, where the device blew past its original funding goal of around $8,500 and eventually managed to raise a little more than $20,000.

In a departure from Sony’s normally conservative product launch approach, the company cleverly put the project into play…

  Like it or not, tablet photography is here to stay, which means developers are starting to create apps to take advantage of this trend. We saw a pretty slick Pixelmator demonstration at Apple’s iPad event earlier this week, and now Flickr is jumping into the action with a tablet app of its own.

The Flickr app for iPad essentially—surprise, surprise—shows you whatever photos were uploaded to the service, and it looks quite nice. The layout is pretty simple, with a navigation bar on the left that allows you to see your own profile, browse photos, etc. Flickr still offers 1TB of free storage, so really you have nothing to lose by using it as backup.

In addition to using the service as storage, the new app also allows users to capture photos and videos with live filters on the iPad, and even use the editing tools. Apple’s new iPad Air 2 is more powerful than any iPad before it, making it the perfect vehicle for media editing on the go. If you use the Flickr seriously, the app for iPad is one of the best ways to browse the service, whether you’re just looking for inspiration or building up a portfolio

Twitter regularly tests features that never become anything, but its latest experiment is infuriating power users by wedging other people’s favorites into your Timeline.

I haven’t fallen victim to the intrusion, but several high-profile Twitter users noted the appearance of their friends’ favorites—and they weren’t happy about it.

It’s important to note that Twitter diehards use favorites as…

      Samsung Galaxy Alpha with Android 4.4.4 Kitkat Here, we round up everything we know about the anticipated Samsung Galaxy Alpha handset so far. Keep this page bookmarked, as we’ll update as we hear more about the Galaxy Alpha. Release date Samsung quietly announced the Galaxy Alpha, as rumours had suggested, on 13 August, revealing that it will be available in the UK from the beginning of September. Samsung has yet to announce a specific release date. Price Ahead of its unveiling, UK SIM-free retailer Mobilefun prematurely started taking pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Alpha, outing its price as £549. Since, online phone shop Handtec has started taking orders for the phone, pricing it at £515.99. However, Samsung has yet to announce pricing for the smartphone, nor has EE, which promptly announced it would be selling the handset. Carphone Warehouse has also announced it will be selling the phone, and you can register your interest over on its website. Specs The Samsung Galaxy Alpha, which was the subject of multiple online leaks under the guise of the “Samsung Galaxy F” and “Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime” ahead of its unveiling, doesn’t feature many surprises. As speculation had suggested, the Galaxy Alpha is one of the first Samsung smartphones to boast a metal frame, which is thinner than the iPhone 5S at 6.7mm thick. Unlike the iPhone however, the Galaxy Alpha doesn’t feature a full metal casing, and instead retains the perforated plastic rear found on the Samsung Galaxy S5. It will be available in the same colours, too – black, white, blue and gold. Samsung Galaxy Alpha in black white blue and gold.

Much like its flagship predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Alpha also arrives with a fingerprint scanner built into its home button and a heart rate sensor on its rear. The Galaxy Alpha specifications aren’t much of a match for the LG G3 in the screen department, touting a 4.7in HD 720p Super AMOLED screen, with a pixel density of 320ppi. This is powered by Samsung’s octa-core 1.8GHz Exynos 5 processor, with the handset set to also be made available with a quad-core 2.5GHz chip, equipping it with 300Mbps Cat 6 LTE speeds. The Samsung Galaxy Alpha also boasts 2GB of RAM under the bonnet, along with a 1,850mAh battery and 32GB of internal storage, which cannot be expanded via microSD card. There’s also a 12MP camera on its rear, a 2.1MP front-facing camera and built-in NFC support. The Galaxy Alpha runs the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system, Android 4.4.4 Kitkat. However, Samsung has heavily customised this with its own skin, equipping the phone with its own Galaxy Apps service and Magazine UX homescreen.
