Progress never stops in the video and TV world with resolutions creeping ever higher. It took a while for us to finally get 1080p programming to support the TVs that had been around for years. Further infrastructure advances took us to 4K resolution TVs, and while there aren't any 4K resolution primetime shows from major networks, owners of those TVs can get their fix with movies, Netflix, streaming content, and digital rentals. Samsung and many other TV makers are looking past 4K TVs into the 8K resolution future. As with any new video resolution technology, we are currently in a chicken or the egg situation with there being no 8K content despite Samsung having unveiled its Q900R QLED 8K TVs. Broadcasters and movie makers don’t want to produce content in 8K resolution until there are enough consumers with TVs to support it. Samsung's answer to that dilemma is to integrate 8K upscaling so the shows you already watch can take advantage of the tech until we have native 8K programming in the future. Samsung is offering the Q900R QLED TV series in four "ultra-large" sizes including 65-, 75-, 82-, and 85-inches. Samsung is integrating 8K-ready features including Real 8K Resolution, Q HDR 8K, and Quantum Processor 8K. All that fancy tech is "created to bring 8K-quality images to life" says Samsung. Other specs of the TV include a very impressive 4,000 nit peak brightness rating. Samsung says that is a standard met by most film studios. Samsung's Q HDR 8K feature offers HDR 10+ tech that optimizes brightness levels to produce pristine colors and images. Samsung's 8K AI Upscaling is proprietary technology that uses artificial intelligence to ensure that contents scales reliably to 8K resolution no matter the source quality or format. The Quantum Processor 8K can upscale lower resolution into 8K no matter the input source including streaming content, HDMI, USB, or mobile content mirroring. Samsung also uses an interesting feature called One Invisible Connection that combines the optical and power cable into one cord 5-meters long to make it easier to place the TV. Samsung is mum on the pricing of the TVs at this time, but new tech such as this is always costly and considering the screen sizes the Q900R QLED TVs won’t be cheap. These TVs will be in stores at the end of September with the specific pricing, launch dates and models varying by region.

Some 400 prisoners have escaped from a facility near the Libyan capital Tripoli amid deadly violence between militia groups in the city, police say. "The detainees were able to force open the doors and leave" the Ain Zara prison, the police said. They added that guards, fearing for their lives, were unable to prevent the incident, AFP news agency reports. Clashes between militias in the city have led Libya's UN-backed government to declare a state of emergency. Many of the prisoners held at the Ain Zara facility in south-east Tripoli were reportedly supporters of the late Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, and had been found guilty of killings during the uprising against his government in 2011. Separately on Sunday, two people were killed and several others were injured when rockets hit a camp in Libya's capital housing hundreds of displaced people, according to emergency services and witnesses. At least 39 people, including civilians, have died in rival militia clashes in Tripoli in recent days. A UN-backed government is nominally in power in the capital, but militias occupy much of the rest of the country. Why is there violence? The violence broke out last week when militias from a city to the south of Tripoli attacked southern areas, leading to fighting with local militias that support the internationally recognised government, the Government of National Accord (GNA). The GNA has described the clashes as "an attempt to derail peaceful political transition" in the country, adding that it "could not remain silent over the attacks on Tripoli and its suburbs, which is a violation of security in the capital and of citizens' safety". Human Rights Watch has also condemned the violence, adding that at least 18 of the dead were reportedly civilians, among them four children. Hundreds of migrants trapped by the fighting have been moved to other detention centres, while the city's airport was closed for two days on Friday. Libya has faced continuing chaos since Nato-backed militia forces, some of them rivals, overthrew long-serving ruler Colonel Gaddafi in October 2011. What has the international community said? UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has said the "indiscriminate use of force is a violation of international humanitarian and human rights law" and has urged "all parties to grant humanitarian relief for those in need". On Saturday, the US, UK, France and Italy called for an immediate end to deadly violence in Libya's capital. A joint statement said attempts "to weaken the legitimate Libyan authorities and hinder the ongoing political process are not acceptable". "We are calling on the armed groups to immediately stop all military action and warn those who seek to undermine stability, in Tripoli or elsewhere in Libya, that they will be made accountable for it," the joint statement read. However successive attempts at a truce have so far failed to stop the fierce fighting between several militias.

There are many reasons you might want to download Windows 7. For example, if you need to install Windows 7 but you've lost your original setup disc, or it's damaged, downloading Windows 7 would get you out of that bind. Computer makers also often don't include a Windows 7 DVD with new computers, complicating the process of a Windows 7 clean install and even some advanced troubleshooting that typically requires a Windows 7 disc. You might also want to download Windows 7 just to try out the operating system or to put it on a second computer at home. Windows can be expensive, so finding a place to download Windows 7 for free is an enticing thought. Pretty much everything is available on the internet for free, right? Where Can I Download Windows 7? There are several places to download Windows 7 online but most of them are somewhere between "maybe okay" and "completely illegal." Windows 7 has been legitimately distributed online in the past, but it was never free. Important: Windows 10 is the most recent version of Windows and can be upgraded to from Windows 7. See Where Can I Download Windows 10? for help on what to do next if you're interested. It's important to realize that in many ways, what you actually pay for when you legally purchase a copy of Windows 7 is the product key, sometimes referred to as a CD key or key code, or incorrectly as the serial number. This unique number is required to be able to fully use Windows 7. So, even if you did download Windows 7 without paying for it, you would still need a valid Windows 7 product key. Download Windows 7 the 100% Legal Way Without question, the best way to download Windows 7 is via Microsoft's Download Windows 7 Disc Images (ISO Files) page. This is the official way to get your Windows 7 ISO image. Here's how to do it: Important: This process will only work if you have a retail license of Windows 7. This will probably be the case if you bought Windows 7 yourself, or a smaller computer company installed it for you as part of your custom PC purchase. If Windows 7 came preinstalled with your major-brand PC, you probably have an OEM license and you'll need to try some of the ideas below this one. Visit Microsoft's Download Windows 7 Disc Images (ISO Files) page. Enter your valid Windows 7 product key and verify it with Microsoft. Tip: Don't have your product key anymore? So long as Windows 7 is still installed somewhere, you may be able to extract it. See How to Find Your Windows 7 Product Key for some help. Choose your language. Click the 32-bit or 64-bit option. Download the Windows 7 ISO image to your computer. Note: The download link is valid for 24 hours only, so if you don't download Windows 7 within that amount of time, you'll have to repeat the above steps. Don't Have a Windows 7 Key? Here's Your Other Option. There's one way to download Windows 7 legally, without ever having to have purchased a copy or have a valid product key, but it has a caveat that you're probably not going to like. You can download Windows 7 for "free" as part of your paid Visual Studio Subscription (previously known as MSDN). This professional subscription by Microsoft grants you access to Windows 7 downloads and product keys, as well as downloads and keys for most of the software Microsoft produces. Unless you're a software programmer or IT professional, this very expensive subscription program is almost certainly not worth the money. Note: Prior to late 2012, Windows 7 was available for individuals to purchase and download directly from the Microsoft Store. While this is still an option for Windows 10, it is, unfortunately, no longer possible for Windows 7. A 90-day trial version of Windows 7 Enterprise used to be an option until 2015 but that's also no longer available, replaced with the WindowsOf course, if downloading Windows 7 isn't necessary for your situation, your other option is to purchase a copy of Window 7 on DVD. Microsoft no longer sells Windows 7 directly, but you might still find copies of Windows 7 available at Amazon or from an electronic retailer like Newegg, so shopping around for the best price is a good idea. 10 equivalent. Note: If you have a Windows 7 disc, and are only trying to download Windows 7 because you need to install it on your computer which does not have an optical drive, there is a way to get the installation files from your DVD onto a flash drive. See How to Install Windows 7 From USB for instructions. The [Now Defunct] "Digital River" Method Back when Windows 7 was available for purchase and download through the Microsoft Store, Microsoft used a company by the name of Digital River to provide the Windows 7 ISO images. For a very long time, those Windows 7 ISO files were on a public, unsecured server and could be downloaded without showing any proof of purchase. This might have been a long-running mistake on the part of Digital River, or perhaps Microsoft simply didn't mind considering the fact that you need a valid product key to use Windows 7 for more than 30 days anyway. Regardless of how or why they existed so long, they've all been removed as of February 2015. If you have a valid Windows 7 product key, visit Microsoft Software Recovery. If you don't, you'll need to purchase an MSDN subscription, or, most likely, just purchase Windows 7 outright. Beware of Other Windows 7 Downloads Any other "free" Windows 7 download you come across online is most certainly illegal, including Windows 7 ISO files obtained via torrents or directly from other websites or servers. Aside from legal issues, these Windows 7 downloads, unlike the official replacement ISO image from Microsoft, run the risk of being something other than advertised. For example, many Windows 7 images available on torrent sites and from other unofficial sources are "cracked" versions of Windows 7, meaning they've been modified for various reasons...and may also include built-in malware. Best to avoid a situation like that. Don't Want to Download Windows 7? Replace the Disc A final option for those of you with broken or lost Windows 7 discs that don't want to download an official ISO image is to try to get a replacement Windows 7 disc instead. If Windows 7 came preinstalled on your computer (i.e., you have an OEM — not retail — license), and you did have a disc but it's now lost or damaged, contact your computer maker for a replacement. Depending on your computer maker's policy, the replacement Windows 7 media may be free or you may be charged a small fee. If you're in a similar situation with a Windows 7 disc but you purchased a retail copy of Windows 7 on DVD, you can contact the Microsoft Supplemental Parts team and request a replacement. Finally, while not a replacement for Windows 7, you should know that it's possible to create a system repair disc for Windows 7 from any other Windows 7 computer, including a friend's, for just the cost of a blank CD. That disc can be used to perform all the diagnostic and repair functions that a full Windows 7 setup DVD can. See How to Create a Windows 7 System Repair Disc for instructions.

There’s an all-new 2019 Aston Martin Vantage arriving in showrooms later this year. The new coupe will replace a predecessor that was in production for 12 full years -- that’s two lifetimes in the automotive industry’s typical renewal cycle. Yet enthusiasts and fans of the brand will dismiss the long wait once they drop behind the wheel of the completely redesigned Vantage, as the British automaker’s sportiest offering is the best vehicle to ever emerge from its factory in Gaydon, England. Sleek aerodynamic styling, wrapped around a magnificent passenger cabin There’s no mistaking the new Vantage for anything but an Aston Martin. The company’s bold and distinctive styling has been carried forward to the new vehicle, but with a modern twist. The oversized front grill, which is necessary to feed air to the engine, retains its iconic shape and is more prominent, but the headlights are smaller. The side gills on the front quarter-panel now dump air out of the wheel wells, to lower lift -- the sculpted rear valance achieves the same objective. Overall, the engineers have managed to create a sleeker coupe, with notable aerodynamic downforce (something we appreciated during our rainy test drive), without the need for unsightly wings. The passenger cabin is equally advanced -- particularly revolutionary for this traditional automaker. Occupants face an organically sculpted dashboard and center console with an array of toggle switches, rotary dials, and round buttons with genuine glass faces -- artfully crafted. Technology abounds with two multifunction digital infotainment screens -- one in front of the driver, the other at the top of the dashboard. Most impressive are the handcrafted materials, a gorgeous mix of fine leathers and metals, which are contrasted by unique patterns and colors. The visual extravagance is accompanied by a wonderful leather aroma, moderately intoxicating, that reinforces the Aston Martin’s luxury and prestige -- taken as a whole, the passenger cabin borders on over-the-top. Aluminum architecture and a strong German heart Aston Martin utilizes a manufacturing technique that bonds aluminum components together with adhesives and fasteners. The process, which is common in the aircraft industry, makes its chassis lightweight and strong. The robust platform, with a solid-mounted rear subframe, allows the engineers to improve the steering. “If you've got more rear lateral stiffness, you can put more response on the front because the rear can cope with it,” explains Matt Becker, Chief Engineer at Aston Martin. That stiff platform also serves as a rock-sold foundation for the Vantage’s 3-mode “Skyhook” Adaptive Damping System (the driver may choose between Sport, Sport Plus and Track settings). The standard engine is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, sourced from Mercedes-AMG, rated at 503 horsepower and 505 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a standard 8-speed automatic transmission, which drives the rear wheels through a unique alloy torque tube with a carbon-fiber propeller shaft, the 2-seater rockets from a standstill to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. If the road is long enough, the sports car won’t run out of steam until it hits a blistering 195 mph -- and it could have gone faster. “We haven't chased top speed, because it's all about the agility and the dynamic performance of the car,” notes Becker. Thankfully, Aston’s engineers have fitted it with 20-inch wheels, sticky custom-compound Pirelli P-Zero tires, and oversized multi-piston steel brakes (carbon-ceramic brakes are optional) that allow it to stop as quickly as it accelerates. All of the right moves, in all the right places Becker explains how the new Vantage -- priced at about $153,000 in the U.S. -- was tuned to be significantly sportier than the company’s DB11 by focusing on the amount of body roll. In simple terms, the new Vantage sports car splits the difference between the DB11 and a dedicated racecar. “The Vantage is around two degrees of roll per 1G of lateral force,” while the DB11 was “targeted three degrees per G, which is more of a GT car.” Furthermore, the Vantage is fitted with a variable electronic differential, or E-Diff, which is “used to basically be able to effectively make you feel like the length of the car is varying because you've got different levels of torque.” AKA: The new Aston turns in quicker. The Vantage does drive much sportier than its larger and heavier sibling, the DB11. The steering feels quicker, and much more responsive. Body roll is nearly indiscernible, and there is plenty of grip -- assuming you don’t mash the throttle recklessly. That said, there’s sufficient power from the turbocharged engine to effortlessly break the rear end free, light up the tires, and slide sideways (assuming you’ve got the talent). The power reserve from the V8 is extraordinarily deep, and useable. It’s also imperative to mention the exhaust note that emanates from the rear of the Vantage -- it’s simply intoxicating, whether fitted with the standard or sport mufflers (they both sound excellent). Acceleration is deeply throaty, while deceleration is accompanied with the expected sporty concussions. “It's got more volume, and it's got more frequency... and it does a few more pops and bangs,” says a smiling Becker. Watch out Porsche 911, this Aston Martin has got you in its sights Aston Martin doesn’t hold back when you ask what its new Vantage is targeting -- all sights are aimed at the venerable Porsche 911, the segment’s best-seller for years. In a check-box comparison, the new Brit surpasses the German in almost every performance benchmark -- and the Vantage’s interior is particularly more premium in materials and craftsmanship. Yet, there’s a significant difference between the 911 and the Vantage in terms of subjective driving dynamics. The Porsche is hundreds of pounds lighter, and it carries a lot less weight on its nose -- it feels smaller and more agile, especially as the road gets tighter. Aston doesn’t deny this, but it points out that its vehicle is less clinical. “The 911 is a very competent car,” admits Becker. “But I think we've engineered something different. The 911 is not something you really play with... you don't slide it around. Where this car you can, you can have fun with it, and it's very rewarding.” There’s no contesting Becker’s claim -- this is the most engaging Aston Martin we’ve ever driven.

The US, UK, France and Italy have called for an immediate end to deadly violence in the Libyan capital Tripoli. A joint statement said attempts "to weaken the legitimate Libyan authorities and hinder the ongoing political process are not acceptable". At least 39 people, including civilians, have died in rival militia clashes in Tripoli in recent days. A UN-backed government is nominally in power in the capital, but militias occupy much of the rest of the country. Why is Libya so lawless? "We are calling on the armed groups to immediately stop all military action and warn those who seek to undermine stability, in Tripoli or elsewhere in Libya, that they will be made accountable for it," the joint statement read. The violence broke out on Monday when militias from a city to the south of Tripoli attacked the city's southern areas, leading to fighting with local militias that support the internationally recognised government, the Government of National Accord (GNA). The GNA's health ministry said on Friday that at least 39 people had been killed, including a Malian national who was killed by shelling on his home. Dozens of other people are reported to have been wounded. Human Rights Watch condemned the violence and said that at least 18 of the dead were civilians, among them four children. Hundreds of migrants trapped by the fighting have been moved to other detention centres, while the city's airport was closed for two days on Friday. Libya has faced continuing chaos since Nato-backed forces overthrew long-serving ruler Col Muammar Gaddafi in October 2011, with rival political forces in the east and west and powerful armed militias across the country.

It seems ridiculous that in this day and age of video gaming, cross-play support isn't a standard feature across the board. Things have improved, sure, but there is still a long way to go. One of the holdouts is Sony, and if you were hoping the company would change its mind in the wake of increased pressure, you're going to be disappointed. Cross-play just isn't something Sony feels compelled to promote at this point. The reason for this is almost definitely financial, though you won't hear Sony say that directly. Instead, Sony's new chief executive officer Kenichiro Yoshida emphasized at IFA 2018 that the PlayStation 4 offers the best experience for gamers, the insinuation being that it is somehow beneficial to PS4 players to balk at the idea of cross-play. "On cross-platform, our way of thinking is always that PlayStation is the best place to play," Yoshido said, according to Independent. "Fortnite, I believe, partnered with PlayStation 4 is the best experience for users, that's our belief." n the same breath, Yoshida essentially acknowledges that it is not a technical barrier that prevents Sony from enabling cross-play more broadly. "But actually, we already opened some games as cross-platform with PC and some others, so we decide based on what is the best user experience. That is our way of thinking for cross-platform," Yoshida added. The topic is drawing increased attention because of the po[CENSORED]rity of Fortnite. It's available on practically every platform, including the Switch and more traditional mobile devices (iOS and Android), and gamers want, they can play against each other regardless of platform. That is, unless we're talking about the PS4. While Sony won't come out and say this is really just a dumb money grab, one of its former execs left little doubt. "BTW when I was at Sony, the stated reason internally for this was money. They didn't like someone buying something on an Xbox and it being used on a PlayStation. Simple as that. Dumb reason, but there it is," John Smedley, former chief of Sony Online Entertainment, stated on Twitter (the post has since been removed). Like it or not, Sony has drawn a hard line in the sand and is not willing to cross it.

Apple is slow to admit that its devices have any problems, but occasionally iPhones have serious issues. The iPhone X has had problems with Face ID that required some devices to have a rear camera replacement, for instance. Apple has announced that it has found an issue in some iPhone 8 smartphones that could be causing some users to be very frustrated. If your iPhone 8 is experiencing unexpected restarts, frozen screen, or won’t turn on you may have a bad logic boar Apple says that it has found that a "very small percentage" of iPhone 8 smartphones contain logic boards with a manufacturing defect. That defect causes the aforementioned problems, and Apple says that if your device is eligible, it will repair the smartphone at no cost. Just because you are experiencing frozen screens, restarts, or your device won’t always turn on doesn’t mean you automatically qualify for a repair. Apple says that only specific serial numbers sold between September 2017 and March 2018 in Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Macau, New Zealand, and the U.S. are eligible for repair. To determine if your device has a serial number that is eligible for free repair, visit this page. Apple is specific that the repair program is not for iPhone 8 Plus models or any other iPhone models. If your device is among those Apple will fix, you can get a repair via three methods. The first is to find an Apple Authorized Service Provider. Second, you can make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store. The third and final method is to contact Apple Support to arrange mail-in service at an Apple Repair Center. Apple notes that before sending your device in, use iTunes or iCloud to backup your device. One other potential issue is if your device has any other damage that Apple says might affect its ability to repair the phone, that issue will require repair first. It specifically calls out a cracked screen as one such issue. Apple will fix those issues before fixing the logic board, but you will pay for any other required repairs related to the logic board. The program is available for devices in the serial number range for three years after the first retail sale of the device

The gang over at Roush has been taking the already potent Mustang GT and hopping it up for more performance and style for a long time. Roush has offered Mustangs in what it calls "Stages" referring to if they are all show and no go (Stage 1) or if they pack lots of additional "go" in the form of a supercharger under the hood. Roush blowers don’t always make the most power out of all Mustang superchargers available on the market, but the big thing is when properly installed by a professional, they often allow you to keep your warranty intact. Roush has announced that the 2019 Roush Stage 3 (RS3) Mustang is up for pre-order. The RS3 can be pre-ordered starting September 1, which is tomorrow if you have your wallet ready. Deliveries won't take place until October 10; the date the car launches officially. We have no idea what sort of performance Roush is expecting from this blown beast, but it will be fast. The normal 2019 Ford Mustang GT makes 460hp and once Roush bolts a "Phase 1" TVS R2650 supercharger to that 5.0L V8, the car gets an extra 250 horsepower. If you need help with the math, that works out to 710hp. Roush is mum on the torque, but we assume it gets all the torques to boot. It's a glorious time to be a Mustang fan. Only a few short years ago a Roush supercharger bolted to a 4.6L V8 under the hood of the Mustang couldn’t match the 460hp the stock GT makes today. More power isn’t all the RS3 gets, however; Roush is rather known for making Mustang's handle, and the RS3 gets a coilover suspension setup Roush promises is good for 1.07g on the skid pad. If you want even better handling, Roush offers a set of three-way adjustable coilover dampers as an option. Roush fits the RS3 with 20-inch cast aluminum wheels with 275/35R20 tires and a fancy aero kit. Inside, the normal Mustang interior is made over with the sport package which in years past meant colorful new leather seat covers and maybe a cue ball-style shifter knob. Roush is backing these cars with a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper to bumper warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Presumably, as in years past, you can get the car serviced at any old Ford dealer. Yep, 710hp and a full dealer warranty. This much fun will set you back $22,925 on top of the price of the stock 2019 Mustang GT.

A key leader of Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine has been killed in an explosion at a cafe he owned in Donetsk city, sources in the rebel administration there say. Alexander Zakharchenko's death was reported by rebel news agency DNR. Ukrainians suspected of being behind the blast were arrested nearby, a security source was quoted as saying. But it had been widely reported that Zakharchenko was out of favour with Russia. Authorities in the "Donetsk People's Republic" have blamed previous assassinations of rebel leaders on the Ukrainian government, which denies any involvement. Some observers have attributed the deaths to infighting among the rebels, or moves by Moscow to eliminate inconvenient separatist leaders. Russia's foreign ministry said it suspected the Ukrainian government of organising the latest killing. What are the reports saying? Rebel and Russian news reports say the separatists' "finance minister" Alexander Timofeyev was wounded in the blast at the Separ cafe that killed Zakharchenko just a few hundred metres from his residence. "According to preliminary information, it is unfortunately true. The republic's leader suffered a fatal wound," a senior Donetsk rebel, Vladislav Berdichevsky, told Interfax news agency. Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said "there is every reason to believe that the Kiev regime is behind the murder [of Zakharchenko]". She said the Kiev "party of war" was "violating its pledges about peace and has decided on a bloodbath". What is happening in eastern Ukraine? Heavily armed rebels in Donetsk and Luhansk regions refuse to recognise the Ukrainian government in Kiev. The rebels seized large swathes of territory there in an uprising in April 2014. Moscow denies sending regular troops and heavy weapons to the separatists, but admits that Russian "volunteers" are helping the rebels. The frontline between them and Ukrainian government troops has remained largely static for months, but skirmishes continue despite a fragile ceasefire deal. There has been shooting on the frontline despite a "back-to-school truce" that was supposed to take effect on Wednesday. International monitors reported 70 ceasefire violations on that day alone Who was Alexander Zakharchenko? He played a key role in the Russian-backed separatist military operation from its very beginning. In early 2014, soon after Ukraine's pro-Russian government was toppled by the Maidan revolution, he took part in the seizure of the Donetsk regional administration building by people saying they were protesting against the new pro-Western authorities. Later that year, he was chosen as the prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic by its parliament, the "Supreme Council". He had been in the role ever since, assuming the title of president, and was among the signatories of the stalled Minsk peace agreement. He was wounded twice in combat, and survived a car bomb blast in August 2014. Who else has been assassinated in Donetsk? In October 2016, a Russian-born rebel commander nicknamed "Motorola" - real name Arsen Pavlov - was killed by a bomb blast in the lift of his apartment block In February 2017 rebel commander Givi (real name Mikhail Tolstykh) was killed by a rocket that was fired into his office.

We now have a confirmed name and release month for the next major Windows 10 update, which has been testing under the codename "Redstone 5". Microsoft says that that Windows 10 October 2018 Update will land in... well, October.

Microsoft made the announcement today at IFA 2018 alongside a wave of new Windows 10-powered devices like the Dell Inspiron 7000 2-in-1, Lenovo Yoga Book C930 and Lenovo Yoga C630 WOS (Windows on Snapdragon).

"We’ll share more details about the update over the coming weeks." "We’re excited to bring even more experiences and innovation to our customers with the Windows 10 October 2018 Update," added Microsoft Corporate VP Erin Chapple. Redstone 5 The Windows 10 October 2018 Update brings a number of new features to the table including continual improvements to the Microsoft Edge web browser, more refinements to the Material Design UI language, major updates to Skype and a new viewing mode that takes advantage of a PC's light sensor to detect ambient lighting conditions. There are also new AI-keyboard assist features, HDR controls, the biggest overhaul to Notepad that we've seen in years, an enhanced Windows Application Guard, and Windows Hello biometric authentication for remote desktop sessions. We're sure to be hearing more about the Windows 10 October 2018 Update in the coming weeks as Microsoft puts the finishing touches on this latest software release.

Garmin has announced a new wearable that has some very cool tracking capabilities called the vivosmart 4. The device is very slim, and the coolest feature of the wearable is that it has a wrist-based pulse oximeter. A pulse oximeter is a medical device that can track oxygen saturation or the amount of oxygen that is in your blood. Oxygen saturation is a key indicator of many health-related issues, especially at night. Low levels of blood oxygen during sleep is a key indicator of potentially serious sleep problems like sleep apnea. The vivosmart 4 can monitor oxygen levels at night allowing users to monitor health conditions and energy levels. Along with the pulse ox integrated into the wearable, vivosmart 4 has an advanced sleep monitoring system that can estimate light, deep, and REM stages of sleet and track movement during the night. All the sleep stat information is viewable in the mornings via the Garmin Connect Mobile app. Garmin also integrates something it calls Body Battery that estimates the energy reserves in your body letting users know when their optimal times for rest and activity are. Body Battery can help users to schedule workouts, rest times, and sleep. Body Battery data comes from indicators like stress, heart rate variability, sleep, and activity. A higher Body Battery number means you are ready for activity while a lower number means you need rest. Garmin says that the number can help users to determine how rest and activity over a few days affect their overall well-being. Garmin's latest wearable is available in multiple colors including metal trim accents in silver, gold, and rose gold. The device is water resistant enough for swimming or showering and has up to seven days of battery life between charges. The heart rate sensor in the vivosmart 4 is a redesigned unit called Elevate. It features new heart rate alerts, VO2 max, and activities for walking, running, strength training, swimming, yoga, and other activities. When the wearable detects stress, users are prompted to perform a breathing routine to relax. The device is connected to your mobile and supports checking the weather, controlling music, smart notifications with vibration alerts, find your phone function, and social media notifications. Android users can reply to text messages with preset messages directly from the wearable. The vivosmart 4 will ship in 3-5 weeks in multiple colors for $129.99.
