The music player basically uses the Artificial Intelligence to learn the user listening  habits and then recommends the songs on the basis of the user taste.

There is a story associated with this Application that in 2000s Microsoft and AOL tried to purchase the app and recruit Mark Zuckerberg but Mark refused the offer and moved to Harvard for further studies and uploaded that apps for free distribution over the Internet.The application got the rating 3 out of 3 by PCMag at that time.

Top Differences between Windows 7 and Windows 8 (User Interface)

Windows 8 is developed by Microsoft, with the revolutionary changes in the operating system. The system is designed to make people's day-to-day computer operations more simple and fast, providing people with easy and efficient working environment. Windows8 support from Intel, AMD and ARM chip architecture.Windows 8 is getting the mixed response for the Release of Microsoft next windows family OS. But it's sure Microsoft has redefined its OS for providing users the fast and awesome User interface.

Well for some users it might be a welcome to new touch world and for some users it might be a scared cow.The users will be experiencing these major change from Windows 7 to Windows 8.Ok let me say be prepared for these big changes.

Metro UI :No Start Button

You will miss the Start Button in Windows 8 as Metro UI will be default in the Windows 8 OS. Although Microsoft have provided option to revert back to Start Button users will miss the Start Button as the Windows 8 is tailored for the Tablet and Mobile Screens. Well it looks great for Tablet and Laptops.

Improved Copy,Rename,Delete,Move

The feature that was missing in most Famous Windows family OS was a while copying multiple files the number of popup Dialoges that were covering a large part of my screen and if need to hide them I use to move the below Task bar and behind the visible area of Desktop.Now in windows 8 while copying multiple files or folders you will be shown all the process in a single windows and what is most interesting feature is that you can pause any process or kill that process and you can minimize that Action Dialogue too to hide it.Seems Microsoft is adopted this feature from famous file downloading sites.

Ribbon Interface Replaces Old Windows Explorer

Well you might have seen this feature earlier in Microsoft Office 2007 early in the Vista times with the time of Vista launch.But from new this is a permanent fixture to the Windows Explorer.

Like it or not it is compulsory for you to use it.Don't worry it is not bad and has improved the Windows Explorer and is easy to use.

Tips to make existing Gmail address more readable

If you are that kind of person whose Gmail address is difficult to read at first attempt then i am sure these simple tips is going to help you up to a big extent.

Also this post will help you to create filters for the unwanted mails that are delivered to your Gmail account.I found this tips very useful as Google has flexibility in logging for different services under Google Accounts. 

Make your Gmail address more readable

Because Gmail ignores periods(.) in its username or address so the existing Gmail username can be reformatted into different email accounts by adding multiple dots.

For example, if your Gmail primary email address is billgates@gmail.com then you could reformat it as

• bill.gates@gmail.com 
• b.i.l.l.gates@gmail.com 
• b.i.l.l.g.a.t.e.s@gmail.com 
• billgate.s @gmail.com .

All emails delivered to above Gmail addresses with be delivered to your primary email address that is billgates@gmail.com.

So if you have a Gmail adddress that your friends finds difficult to read or remember this is an aid to them.

Adding a definite number of periods(.) can be helpful.

Create filters in Gmail  using plus(+) sign.

Ok now let me tell you how this works.Suppose your Gmail address is billgates@gmail.com and if you want to automatically label all work e-mails. Then Add a plus sign and a phrase to make it billgates+work@gmail.com and set up a filter to label it "work" (go to Settings->Filters and create a filter for messages addressed to email address billgates+work@gmail.com then add the label "work").

The email address under different phrases can be labled and filtered by following the same steps as followed for the label "work".

This is very useful if you are subscribing to a website to get free EBook and don't want to take risk because the website may flood you with a number of advertising emails.

You adding a phrase "subsc" after Gmail address ( billgates+subsc@gmail.com ) and creating a filter for mail delivered to the above email address will be very useful to get prevent out of the heavy advertising mails.

Now it is your turn if you want to share us a tip that can be very useful to others you can post it under comments.

Marissa Mayer to quite Google and join Yahoo

"Yahoo!  has appointed Marissa Mayer as President and Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Directors effective July 17, 2012," the company confirmed in a rather dry statement.

Mayer was one of the earliest employees with Google, joining the Internet giant in 1999 and becoming the company’s 20th employee.Until recently Mayer was responsible for Local, Maps, and Location Services for Google, however the 37-year-old's credentials are much better than that, having been Google's 20th employee and largely responsible for the development of its flagship search product and iconic homepage for more than 10 years after joining Google in 1999. 

Expect Yahoo to start acting a lot more like Google in the future, focusing on technological innovation rather than content. However whether Mayer has the ability to lift the ailing media company from the steady decline it has been experiencing for some time is yet to be seen. 

Mayer has been appointed as CEO at this time when company has to deal with certain security issues like the yahoo password dumb released by D33Ds group's hackers recently.

The current interim CEO Ross Levinsohn was the favourite for the role. 

Mayer starts work on Tuesday.

Facebook buys Instagram worth $1 billion.

$1 billion is the price Facebook agreed to pay for Instagram, a less-than two-year-old company that makes a wildly popular mobile photography application.Facebook, which is busy planning an initial public offering that could value the social networking at more than $100 billion, will pay a combination of cash and stock for Instagram.

The Instagram application, which allows users to add filters and effects to pictures taken on their iPhone and Android devices and to share those photos with their friends, has gained about 30 million users since it launched in January 2011.

"This is an important milestone for Facebook because it's the first time we've ever acquired a product and company with so many users," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a blog post. "We don't plan on doing many more of these, if any at all."
The deal, a closely kept secret at the tiny start-up, is expected to close this quarter. CEO Kevin Systrom announced the transaction to Instagram employees at a 9 a.m. meeting on Monday, according to the source inside Instagram.

He also promised the acquisition would not alter the Instagram experience for its approximately 30 million users.
"The Instagram app will still be the same one you know and love. You’ll still have all the same people you follow and that follow you. You’ll still be able to share to other social networks. And you’ll still have all the other features that make the app so fun and unique," Systrom said.

Last week, Instagram made the long-awaited announcement that its app was available for users who run Google's Android on their smartphones. Prior to that it was only available on iPhones. The Android app reportedly nabbed about 1 million downloads in the first 24 hours.
