Live Events has been in preview on Office 365 since last year. As the name suggests, it is broadcasting tool for enterprise users. Christina Torok, senior product marketing manager for Microsoft Stream, says events can be big productions or small-scale. While focused on broadcasting, the service also features some basic production tools. “Live events in Microsoft 365 enables anyone to create live and on-demand events that deliver compelling communications to employees....

In an announcement today, Parallels revealed it worked in partnership with Google to allow Windows apps to work on Chrome OS. However, the company points out apps will be limited to Enterprise users. Interestingly, Google does not seem overly enthused by this development. While the company worked with Parallels, the company only offered one line in a blog post to confirm the announcement. As for the collaboration, Parallels says it will bring the following benefits:...

Indeed, the company has been warning users for the last two years that MS Paint will be removed. However, Aggiornamenti Lumia has found the Product Alert has now been taken down. Discovered in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build, it is unclear what the removal of the notice means. The most obvious meaning is that Microsoft has decided not to kill off MS Paint. Although, it could also mean the company is now ready to take down the app entirely and has no need for the notice....

The change should let gamers quickly figure out if they’d be interested in a title without having to launch it. At the same, it means the company can push games that are trending, or perhaps ones that have great gameplay but aren’t doing quite as well as expected. “When you open up the Xbox Game Streaming preview app, you’ll see a set of trailers for five different games you can swipe through at your leisure....

Dominance in the mobile market is something Qualcomm was eager to talk about. The company says every smartphone contains some of its software. The next step is 5G (due first half of 2019) and the transformation of computing to a mobile experience. Of course, this means Windows 10 on ARM. Qualcomm says mobile has become the driving platform for IoT, networking, mobile and automotive. However, no mention was made about mobile and virtual/mixed reality....

Back in February, Qualcomm announced the Xtended Reality (XR) platform. At the time, it was thought the company would simply embed XR into the upcoming Snapdragon 845 processor. While the 845 will still support XR, the introduction of the Snapdragon XR1 provides OEMs with a dedicated chip. Leveraging artificial intelligence, the Snapdragon XR1 Platform can optimize XR performance and offer improved efficiency and power managements. The upside of the processor is it will allow OEMs to integrate processing directly into devices, such as headsets....

The OS its referencing is Microsoft’s Windows 10X. Though the company has been working on it for a while, it won’t be launching its first device with it (Surface Neo) until late next year. Further, its own device is a dual-screen display, rather than a flexible one. Thanks to the delay, it’s unlikely Intel will show off the 17-inch device until at least mid-2020. Intel wanted the device partly to show to OEMs and get the foldable ball rolling....

Microsoft says many tools could arrive as early as December, but some are extending further into the SharePoint Online roadmap. Perhaps the most noteworthy addition is a new site performance page. Available to editors and owners of SharePoint websites, the page provides a ranking system based on color (red to green like traffic lights) to show the “health” of a page. “Page health measures page performance which impacts the viewing experience and the page’s ability to engage viewers and serve its purpose....

The feature is available across Android, iPhone, iPad, Linux, Mac, Windows, and Windows 10. It works on both group calls and one-on-one, in both audio and video. “The live captions & subtitles feature provides a more inclusive experience for everyone in the Skype community, especially for people who are deaf or hard of hearing,” said the Skype team in a blog post. “Skype has been hard at work at making our features more inclusive, and live captions & subtitles are just one way we made Skype calls more accessible....

Like Xbox Game Pass, PlayStation Plus allows users to access some PS4 games for free under a subscription model. However, with the launch of the PS5, Sony added an interesting and confusing quirk to the platform. Specifically, the company only allows players to claim the free PS4 games through a PS5. Once they have redeemed the game, they can play it on PlayStation 4 (as well as PS5). However, most PS4 owners with PlayStation Plus do not yet have the PS5....

Like its rivals, Dell is getting the details of the launch out of the way, allowing CES 2018 to be a pure showcase for its products. The Dell XPS is entering an increasingly competitive field that includes Microsoft’s Surface Book 2 and HP’s x360 Spectre. Of course, there is also Apple’s MacBook products on the other side of the OS fence. These days, simply having a well spec’d machine is not enough....

It’s now acknowledged that the issue can only be solved via a replacement. Microsoft is offering affected users a replacement Surface Pro 4 free of charge, up to three years from the date of purchase. “Creating the best products and experiences for our customers is our top priority. We have heard your feedback and after careful examination, have determined that a small percentage of Surface Pro 4 devices are exhibiting a screen flicker that cannot be addressed with a firmware or driver update,” said a spokesperson....

The feature is available via the app’s recent overflow menu, which also gives quick access to the clipboard, calendar appointments, themes, and GIFs. After selecting the option, users can choose any major language to have their message translated as they type. As you would expect, SwiftKey can’t do the same when the contact replies, but copied text is instantly translated when you open the menu. There’s even a ‘reply’ button for a quick response....

That program had a limited capacity, and Microsoft has now announced that it has filled its quota. Though the option is still present in the settings of Insider builds, it now presents users with this message: “Skip Ahead is now closed. If you select this option going forward, you will have your Windows Insider Program settings reverted.” Naturally, those who have already chosen the option will get Redstone 4 builds earlier, but they can switch back to the fast or slow rings if they like....

The GreyKey is created by GreyShift, an Atlanta company founded by a former Apple engineer. A brochure previously uncovered by Forbes suggests the tool can break and grab information from the oldest iPhones, but also from older ones, going as far back as the iPhone 4s. The Pensacola shooter’s phones are an iPhone 5 and 7s Plus. The question then is why exactly the FBI needs Apple’s help in this case....

“As of February 28, the Facebook desktop app for Windows is no longer available. People can still easily access and enjoy all of the features of Facebook via desktop browser.” Representatives assured Neowin that Messenger and Instagram will stay on the store, presenting a bit of a confused strategy from the company. However, it’s entirely possible that the Facebook app had a small userbase next to the others. After all, it doesn’t offer too much the web version doesn’t, and doesn’t benefit as much from Windows notifications....

New York Attorney General Letitia James launched the antitrust investigation against Facebook today. It is a multi-state effort to further apply regulatory pressure on the social network. Facebook is arguably the easiest (and most obvious) target of a clamp down on data management amongst major tech companies. As for this new investigation, it will focus on how the social network handles user data and influences consumer choice. “Even the largest social media platform in the world must follow the law and respect consumers....
