Instead of announcing the next version of its iconic
operating system in front of a massive crowd of
thousands, Microsoft chose an intimate venue with 50 or
so reporters to launch the new Windows, which it's calling
Windows 10.
The company looks at the new number (yes, it skipped a
number) as an indication of the direction it's taking with
the OS; Microsoft says it'll be "the most comprehensive
platform ever," featuring a full range of products that'll be
placed under the Windows 10 umbrella as part of "one
tailored experience." Microsoft's Joe Belfiore showed off
an early beta version of the new Windows on stage, which
looks very much like the leaked screenshots we saw not
too long ago; Belfiore says that they wanted to bring the
familiarity of Windows 7 and combine it with the
functionality of Windows 8.
The new Windows will look very familiar if you're used to
either of the the last two versions, though Win8 users will
notice that the Modern UI is nowhere to be seen at first.
Instead, the series of Live Tiles can be found in the Start
Menu off to the right side, with the usual Win7-style set
of pinned and frequent apps on the left side, along with
web and app search underneath. It also comes with a
refreshed taskbar that comes with a new "task view,"
which essentially lays out all of your running apps. You
can also tile up to four apps on the same screen.
Additionally, Windows 10 also gets a nice improvement to
the command prompt: Now you can use keyboard
shortcuts, as well as copy and paste.
The Charms Bar is still there, though it may not look
exactly the same when the final build comes out --
Microsoft says that the UI is still not final and it expects
to change it between now and then -- and there are
plenty of touch elements and gestures carried over from
Windows 8.
With Windows 10, Microsoft also plans to adjust the user
interface depending on the mode you're using it in; for
instance, it'll look different if you're using it for touch
versus if a mouse and keyboard are detected.
The Modern UI shows up as a "large Start Menu" in
addition to a back button on the taskbar when you're in
touch mode, whereas you'll get the traditional desktop
look and feel if you're using a keyboard and mouse.
The team only showed a few bits of Windows 10 today,
but they'll continue to add more pieces to the puzzle over
the course of the next year as Microsoft prepares for a
late 2015 launch. For instance, we'll see more of the
system at the company's Build conference next Spring.
That said, Microsoft will be launching an Insider Program
tomorrow, which is designed to give the initial Win10
experience (also known as the Technical Preview) to folks
who have a deeper knowledge of the OS.
Belfiore insists that the new Windows will give full
functionality for everyone from beginners and novices to
advanced users once it launches, however.
When it comes to Windows Phone, Microsoft is keeping
pretty quiet about its plans, only mentioning that "it'll be
a natural step forward in the evolution of the phone."
Belfiore stated that the company wants to strike a blend
between phones, tablets and larger devices.

30secs: Lol.. OP no vex.
But seriously, na fp material be dis

my brother!!!!! I just tire for the so called moderators! them just De make me vex ! ah swear!

Every guy has been there once in our lives, but its time to
man up and try to get out of the friend zone ,
especially if you really like the girl. This article might not
help you, it just might point you in the right direction.
Steps
1
It's hard! But it will take time for her to realize if
she really likes you. If you get put into the friend
zone, it might not be your fault. Maybe she's just
not ready for something serious yet. Or, she may have
a boyfriend.
2
Don't text! Ring! . If you ring her more than you
text her, it may be good for is your confidence,
because she will likely take it as your friend.
3
Don't Call her friend! Especially if you want to
get into a relationship with her, and get out of the
friend zone.
4
Don't call her by any cute terminology!
No matter how much you want to, this will just push
you further into the friend zone!
5
Don't give her as many compliments
as you used to! No matter how much you want
to, she will take notice of the ones you do give, and
she will more likely to return the compliments to you.
6
Have the balance of being nice guy
and a bad boy! The nice guy approach is good
sometimes, but with some girls the nice guy gets no
where. All girls are different and the 'bad boy' doesn't
always work out all the time, either...
7
What If she calls you friend, bud, or
anything platonic, just ignore it,
especially if you like her or even love
her. This is hard if you and her are close friends
8
Don't always agree with her. agree in a
couple of things, this is good.. if you agree with her all
the time, it means that she's winning, not you.
9
Tell her how you feel! Be honest about your
feelings, see what she thinks, and hopefully someday
you two will be in a relationship. Although, don't
worry yet, this is a hard task that may take some
time!
10
Don't just sit around thinking about
her. Get a plan, and make her yours!
11
If this fails, Try moving on. There are
plenty of fish in the sea, have confidence. And most
of all enjoy life, don't let her hold you back!

Set the scene for laughter.
If you want to lighten up your program,you might want
to let the audience know this, even before you say one
word. Project some lighthearted visuals as the audience is
entering the room. Play some uplifting music as they
enter. Or, add some humor to your presentation title or
program description. Your bio, for example, can have a list
of accomplishments, playfully followed by “His mother is
very proud.”
Facial expression is a big part.
In a funny situation where everyone is laughing, try hard
to look blank, like you don’t know what’s happening. You
get laughs, and all eyes are on YOU. Don’t be scared.
Some people like staring at other people unexpectedly-
that cracks up laughs.
Poke fun at yourself.
Again, even before you open your mouth, you can show
the audience that you don’t take yourself too seriously by
adding some playful things about you in your introduction.
For example, have the announcer tell the audience that
you are the author of seven books which have sold well
over 3 copies. Then the person corrects their mistake and
says, “Oops, that’s 300,000 copies.” Or go wild, put it
the other way around.
Get some laughs with a prop.
It has been said that learning is enhanced with visual aids.
If this is true, then speakers need to enhance their talks
with something to visually illustrate what they are saying.
A prop is a great way to do this because it not only makes
your message memorable but it can also get a laugh. Use
balloons to illustrate how people can let go of their stress
or an inflatable globe to illustrate how we often carry the
world around on our shoulders. All make a point and all
get a laugh.
Tell your humorous stories.
Open your humor eyes and ears and look and listen for
the funny things that happen all around you. Families are
an especially good resource for finding humorous stories.
One such story involves the author’s 93-year-old mother.
Every time she goes to the doctor, she hires a van service
to take her there and back. One late afternoon, it didn’t
show up to take her home. Since the doctor had to close
the office for the day, he suggested that she wait for the
van in the pizza parlor next door. After waiting a long
time without the van arriving, she went up to the counter
and asked, “Do you deliver?” When the man behind the
counter replied, “Of course, we do. We’re a pizza place.”
She said, “Great. Then I’d like a pepperoni pizza and I’d
like to go with it.”
Borrow some witty words.
While waiting for your own humor-related stories to
appear, you might want to borrow some funny short
quotes from famous people to lighten up your talks.
Quotation books, the TV, newspapers, and magazines such
as Reader’s Digest are great resources for locating great
quotes. For instance, if you frequently speak to hospice
groups, Woody Allen’s comments about death and dying
are appropriate (e.g., “There are worse things in life than
death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance
salesman?”) Quotes and one-liners from movies and TV
shows often work, but make sure they are not too
dramatic or well known. Studying sitcom characters like
Chandler Bing from Friends will get you in the mentality
of a naturally funny person.
Collect audience anecdotes.
Sometimes audiences say the funniest things. When they
do, write it down. It could be a big laugh in your next
presentation.
Remember the bottom line.
For non-humorists, some of the ideas presented here may
seem too frivolous for your subject matter. Nevertheless,
you are still encouraged to seek some way of upping the
entertainment value of your talks because it might also
increase what you can charge. As Steve Allen once noted,
“People will pay more to be entertained than educated”.
Fake stories.
Usually real comedians use fake stories to make a cheap
laugh. Kind of like Brian Regan uses the “Stupid in
school” joke. Even though it’s a fake story, he made it up
and the audience still laughed at it.
Make it relevant.
One final word about using humor in your presentations—
make sure it is relevant. Amusing an audience for the sake
of getting a laugh might be ideal for a stand-up comedian
or an after-dinner humorist but it’s probably not good for
most speakers. If your humor doesn’t make a point or
have a purpose, don’t use it.
Don’t laugh at your own joke.
As funny the joke might be, never laugh at your own joke.
It will make your audience bored.
