Irrespective of the languages we speak, till now we are forced to create a mail ID in English. If everything goes well, soon you can create a mail ID in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam.

Govt. Of India is requesting all the major email service providers like Gmail, Yahoo to offer local language support while creating new email IDs.

According to the reports we are hearing, Govt. already conducted a high-level meeting with Google, Microsoft, and Rediff on this issue.

Microsoft expressed that they are already working to provide the feature to their Outlook platform. Right now Microsoft Internet Explorer, Edge, and Outlook softwares are supporting domain names in local languages. If there is a site in local language immediately when we typed the local domain name in Microsoft Edge browser, it resolves the IP address of the website comfortably.

As per the sources, Google also responded positively to the Govt. Of India’s request.

Free Windows 10

A couple of days back, i.e. on 29th July Microsoft stopped to providing Free Upgrade facility to the Windows 7, Windows 8, 8.1 users. If you want to use Windows 10, you must purchase the retail version right now.

I had warned a number of times before the deadline. Few people followed my guidelines and upgraded to Windows 10. If you are one in the unlucky category who missed the Free Upgrade offer, here is an alternative trick to get Windows 10 free still now.

Microsoft offers Free Windows 10 upgrade for those who are suffering from disabilities. The company created a dedicated web page for the customers who are using assistive technologies.

By visiting the web page, you can get Free Windows 10 upgrade without fail. Here is the statement from Microsoft about this offer:

“For the general public, the free upgrade offer for Windows 10 ends on July 29. However, if you use assistive technologies, you can still get the free upgrade offer even after the general public deadline expires as Microsoft continues our efforts to improve the Windows 10 experience for people who use these technologies.”

It doesn’t ask any valid proof for the disabilities. Just you have to press “Upgrade Now” button on the web page. Immediately one EXE file will be downloaded into PC, and the upgrade process will begin.

You have only a couple of months left for the free upgrade of the Windows 10 operating system. After July 29th, 2016 Microsoft will charge retail price for the Windows 10 operating system.

Unlike Windows 8, Microsoft released Windows 10 as the free upgrade to the existing genuine Windows users those who are using Windows 7 or Windows 8 licensed versions.

Microsoft clearly mentioned that it will provide the free upgrade for the first year period only commencing from the release date. By 29th of July, the specified time will come in the end.

Microsoft is prompting the Windows users frequently about the Windows 10 upgrade. Those people who find it hard to adopt newer versions and people who have compatibility issues with their existing software or hardware simply ignoring the Windows 10 upgrade messages.

Whatever the reason, this is your last chance to upgrade to Windows 10 without paying any amount. If you still in a confusion whether to upgrade or not to the Windows 10 operating system, decide immediately. One year is more than enough for a decision.

You no need to touch the phone with Microsoft Pre-Touch Technology

Microsoft researchers have now focused on a new technology which is useful to operate the phone without touching it. If their attempts success, we can open and close the applications, browse the websites and adjust various settings on the phone without touching the phone.

Myself, I am already using the similar functionality with my Samsung Galaxy Note 4, with the help of “Air View” gestures. Not only Samsung earlier Sony introduced similar technology with the name Floating Touch. But the technology Microsoft developing right now is completely innovative compared to any existing technology.

By using this latest technology if you want to get video controls just you need to hover your fingers, touching the phone is never required. Not only video controls you can select text in emails and SMS messages without touching the screen. While browsing the Internet hovering your fingers on any link will reveal the hyperlink behind it.

If this technology comes true, it will become more convenient to operate the phone without any fingerprints and greasy marks on the phone. Right now this concept is in the research phase, and it will take a lot of time to implement it in the smartphones.

Touchscreen technology didn’t changed since it’s arrival. Just we came across two major technologies called Resistive and Capacitive. Mobile manufacturers are trying to equip with a stronger screen which is damage proof. But with touch screen functionality, there has a lot of scopes to explore in the coming days. We can witness those changes.
