Belfiore Talked about Project Spartan, the Microsoft new Internet browser.

Belfiore give details on Project Spartan, the company's revamp of Internet Explorer, during the January 21 reveal event. He detailed unique features, like the ability to mark up webpages before sharing them with others, and to comment on those same pages at the software level.


Once pages are marked up with drawings and comments, that page is frozen in time with live links and open for sharing through Windows 10's built-in sharing features. Spartan will also support built-in offline reading and PDF support, not to mention Cortana.
Microsoft's virtual assistant will be baked into Spartan and pop in with recommendations and help based on your browser behavior. Belfiore in particular demoed a scenario in which a user is en route to a flight. Upon opening the browser to find flight data, Cortana will pop in with that info before the user even needs to look it up.
Since the big reveal, Microsoft's Group Program Manager for Internet Explorer, Jason Weber, confirmed one big question: Spartan is not a replacement for Internet Explorer, but rather a second browser. Weber went on to explain that, while his team is heavily focused on making Spartan work with the rest of the web, IE11 will be kept for compatibility with legacy and enterprise websites.
Microsoft's @IE Dev Chat account on Twitter later confirmed that the Project Spartan team is working on bringing extension support to the new browser. Furthermore, Microsoft confirmed to The Verge that the team is also working on a way for users to import Chrome extensions directly to Spartan.
Finally, it's said that Windows Insiders will get to test out Project Spartan in the next upcoming WTP build, #10022. That build is expected to launch sometime this month, and could very well be the last preview build before the WTP ends on April 15 in time for, you guessed it, Build 2015.

HOW TO WRITE, COMPILE AND RUN C++ CODE ON LINUX KALI

Developing a C++ Program on Kali Linux Without Installing Additional Software This article is for hackers who want to develop a C++ program on Kali Linux without installing any additional software. Some might say you need to install a separate compiler or extra tools to write and run a simple C++ program on Kali Linux. However, I’ll show you how to do it right out of the box. Pre-installed C++ Compiler in Kali Linux Kali Linux comes with a pre-installed C++ compiler called g++ . We will use this to write and compile a basic "Hello, World!" program. Step 1: Check if g++ is Installed Open your terminal and run the following command: g++ -v If the compiler is installed, you should see version details. If not, you will get an error message. Step 2: Create a C++ File In your terminal, type: nano MyCpp.cpp This will create a C++ file and open it in the Nano editor. Step 3: Write the C++ Code Once Nano opens, enter the following C++ code: #include <...

HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE TEXT TO SPEECH(TTS) WINDOWS PROGRAM USING C# PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

This post is a beginner's guide on how to get started with speech programming in visual studio using c# (c_sharp) programming language. For those who don't know what a programming language is, in a nut shell, a programming language is simply a command based computer language used for instructing a computer to do a particular job. When I say job, I mean very complex job. Write the above definition in an exam and stand a chance of losing marks. The definition isn't all there is about what programming language is, so I suggest you make a good search to learn what programming language really is. Though, this article is for beginners but I will say "BEGINNERS ARE CLASSIFIED", am a beginner. If you are a beginner who hasn't tasted code in his or her life before, I suggest you go start something. A good learning source is "tutorial point", they taught me a lot. Now for you who have tasted code, you will need the following: Computer System running wind...

HOW TO APPLY FALLING TEXT EFFECT IN A CONSOLE PROGRAM WITH THREADING IN C#

"A thread is defined as the execution part of a program. Each thread defines a unique flow of control. If your application involves complicated and time consuming operations then it is often helpful to set different execution paths or threads, with each thread performing a particular job.", says the smart guys behind Tutorials Point.Well, our program is not going to be complicated and we are not going to be performing any time consuming task, we are rather going be creating a camouflage application that gives us the effect similar to what you get when you ping a site or an IP address with the "-t" option in cmd or the effect you see in movies like Blacklist, 24, Person Of Interest and the likes.Now let's stop the ranting and get started.We are going be building this application upon our existing code, one we started in the previous article "How to grammatically Change the background and foreground color of a console Application".Now open up the code in...
