REVIEW WINDOWS 8 PRO New Desktop Features File History

Monday, January 21, 2013

Click to EnlargeThough Microsoft appears to have focused more effort on the new Modern UI, it has added a handful of new features that only work in desktop mode. The most useful of these is File History, which creates a version of history of any files stored in your libraries or on your desktop, along with contacts and favorites and stores all those files on external drive.
To test File History, we went into Control Panel and configured a USB flash drive to hold our file history and set Windows to scan our files for changes every 10 minutes (1 hour is default). We then took a photo of a baby from our Pictures library and drew a goatee on it. After 15 minutes, we went back into the File History application in Control Panel and selected restore, where we were able to find and replace the original, unaltered version of the photo.

A more detailed task manager, which shows a more colorful list of apps, combines all CPU usage into one chart rather than one for each core. We particularly appreciated the tab that lists startup apps and how much impact each has on boot time.. We particularly like the App history tab, which shows how much CPU time and bandwidth each of your apps has used during that session.
The file explorer has also been revamped a bit so that it now uses ribbon-style menus like those we've seen in Microsoft Office, Windows Paint and many other Microsoft programs.
If you have a second screen attached to your computer, you'll appreciate Windows 8's improved multimonitor support, which now places the taskbar on all of your screens. Strangely, the Modern UI only appears on one of your two screens, the primary one by default. The other screen always shows the desktop, even at startup

REVIEW WINDOWS 8 PRO Tablet Experience

Though Windows 8 feels somewhat clunky when used with a mouse, the Modern UI really shines on a tablet. When we installed Windows 8 on a Samsung Series 7 slate, we were able to navigate around the interface with a number of sleek and intuitive gestures that aren't available with mouse or keyboard. (Better laptop touchpads should mirror the touch-screen experience.)
We enjoyed flipping through open apps by swiping inward from the left edge, bringing up the app bar by swiping up from the bottom or down from the top and launching the Charms menu by swiping in from the right. We found the gesture for launching the Switcher was a bit more difficult to execute, as it involves two motions: swiping in from the left a little bit and then back to the right. Swiping down to close apps was sometimes frustrating, too, requiring multiple swipes. Hopefully, final hardware built to run Microsoft's OS will perform more smoothly.
Like other tablet operating systems, Windows 8 works in both portrait and landscape modes. However, it's clear that the apps and UI are designed for landscape viewing because most scroll horizontally.
News apps like Bing Sports looked particularly attractive on our tablet, because they format their articles into scrollable columns. We enjoyed reading articles about baseball and then swiping down to choose from other sports.
The virtual keyboard has large, well-spaced dark gray keys that were very easy to target with our fingers. It doesn't support tracing between keys like Swype does on the Android platform, but the keys do make a pleasant typing sound when you hit them. We do wish that Microsoft included a number row above the letters instead of forcing you into a secondary menu.
When we tried to use the desktop on the tablet, we ran into many of the same problems we've experienced on Windows 7 slates. Icons were much smaller and harder to target than tiles on the Start screen, and tapping widgets like the close button or menu items in applications was a bit of a challenge because our fingers were often thicker than the object we wanted to touch. When we wanted to copy photos to our tablet from a USB key, we had to use file explorer and drag the tiny file icon from the window pane over to the tiny Pictures library folder. This action proved difficult and resulted in several unwanted taps.
Any time tablet users need to browse the file system with Explorer, change a setting in the control panel or run a desktop app, they'll be back on the desktop, dealing with these challenges. However, we were able to effectively drag windows around with some practice, and we found the desktop virtual keyboard as accurate as its Modern UI counterpart.

REVIEW WINDOWS 8 PRO Devices and Settings Charms Charms

Click to EnlargeThe Devices charm allows you to output what you're working on to any attached printers, projectors or home theater devices such as a TV. The Home charm simply returns you to the Start screen, something you could do a number of other ways, including hitting the Windows key on your keyboard or hitting the Windows button on your tablet.
Click to EnlargeThe Settings charm provides both settings for the current app and a list of global options for your system. For example, when we clicked the Settings charm from within the Photo app, we saw a set of options, including the ability to set what services and locations it pulls the pictures from.
At the bottom of the Settings panel are buttons for controlling the sound and Wi-Fi connection, along with the Power button you need to shut down or restart the system. The link to the Modern UI's settings menu also appears here.

REVIEW WINDOWS 8 PRO Sharing Sharing

Click to EnlargeThe Share charm in Windows 8 provides a compelling, cross-application service. If you're in a Windows 8 application that enables sharing and click the Share charm, you're presented with a list of options for sending the document, URL, story, photo or some other data to your friends. The list of sharing options that appears depends on what services you have installed that have Windows 8's sharing contract enabled.
When we found a news story we liked in the USA Today app, we clicked the Share charm and were presented with the option to share it either via the Mail or the People app. When we selected Mail, the Mail app opened a new message for us and docked it to the right of the USA Today app. The blank message featured the headline, thumbnail, link and blurb of the article and allowed us to edit the subject line, to field and body before sending. When we tried to share the same article via the People app, we were presented with the option of sharing via either Facebook or Twitter; an editor appeared to let us compose a message.

rEVIEW WINDOWS 8 PRO Charms and Universal Search Charms Menu

Click to EnlargeSwiping in from the right edge on a touch screen or touchpad with special Windows 8 drivers will make the Charms menu appear on the right side of the screen, with icons for Search, Share, Home, Devices and Settings.
Windows 8's universal search function might be its best feature. By either clicking the search icon in the charms menu or simply typing when you're on the Start screen, you can query nearly anything on your device or on the web. The search application, which runs full screen in the Modern UI, consists of two panes. The larger left pane shows results while the right pane contains the free text search box and a long list of icons, representing different things you can search.
Click to EnlargeBy default, Search queries your list of installed applications, but you can select icons that allow you to search Microsoft's app store, the Web via Bing, your email, your contacts or any of a dozen other Windows 8 applications. New applications can even add themselves to the search list.
Since the Start screen doesn't list any of the preloaded desktop applications by default, we found ourselves using search to get to Windows Paint or the command prompt. Strangely, applications within the Control Panel are invisible to search. When we searched for "Computer Management" or "Mouse," both sub apps under the Control Panel, we got zero results.
Overall, we found search fast and helpful, but we wish there were some advanced settings that let it dig deeper. For example, when we performed a file search for *.docx and *.jpg, Windows only found files that were in User folders. It failed to detect a JPG we put in the root of the C drive or thousands of pictures we had on another partition. We also found it annoying that the search app always defaulted to searching our apps, even if we had searched something else the previous time we used it. We also would have appreciated the ability to search more than one thing at a time (for example, files and the Web).

REVIEW WINDOWS 8 PRO Docking and Task Switching Docked App

Click to EnlargeIn Windows 8, you can dock one Windows 8 app next to another by dragging its window to the either side of the screen, though the docked app only uses a small portion of the screen real estate and can only be docked to the left or right and cannot be resized. The docked app disappears when you're on the Start screen.
To see a list of open Windows 8 apps and choose between them, you can launch the Switcher, a slim vertical bar that appears on the left side of the screen when you swipe in from the left and then back again on a touch screen or on a touchpad which has the appropriate drivers. If you are using a mouse or a touchpad that doesn't have special Windows 8 drivers, you must move the pointer to the upper left corner of the screen, wait half a second for an icon of your most recently used app to appear and then slide the pointer down to make the Switcher appear. Hitting Windows + Tab on the keyboard also works.
Click to EnlargeThe Switcher menu shows a list of thumbnails for your currently-open Windows 8 apps, but with several caveats. First, unlike the traditional taskbar, the Switcher does not show icons for the foreground application. Second, any docked application does not appear in Switcher.
The most serious problem with Switcher, however, is that it displays the entire Desktop as just a single thumbnail, no matter how many traditional desktop applications you have open. Fortunately, if you dock the desktop "app" to the right or left of a Windows 8 app, you can see thumbnails of open desktop programs displayed vertically.
Of course, you don't need Switcher to toggle between open tasks. If you have a tablet, you can swipe rapidly from the left to browse through open Windows 8 apps. You can also use the good old fashioned Alt + Tab keyboard shortcut to switch between all open apps, even desktop programs.

REVIEW WINDOWS 8 PRO Desktop Enhancements, Dual Interfaces Desktop Mode

Click to Enlarge
To underscore its commitment to the new apps and UI, Microsoft has made sure that the desktop environment itself is actually an app that you have to launch from the Modern UI Start screen, either by clicking its tile or the tile of a desktop app. You cannot run desktop apps in the Modern UI environment nor can you run Windows 8 apps on the desktop. There's also no way to boot directly to the desktop.
While it's impossible to avoid the Modern UI, it's also practically impossible to avoid visiting the desktop, because many of Microsoft's own built-in apps still run in a window, including Windows Paint, Notepad and Calculator. There are also actually two different control panels: a very scaled-down one for Modern UI and a full-featured Control panel that only runs on the desktop and lets you do everything you can do in Windows 7, from changing the screen resolution to partitioning disks. Adding to the confusion is that there are two different versions of Internet Explorer 10, one for desktop and one for Modern UI.
The look and feel of the desktop environment is practically identical to that of Windows 7 interface, with one big exception; there's no Start menu. Instead, Microsoft has put a shortcut to the Start screen that appears when you hover your mouse over the lower left-hand corner of the desktop.
Because of the missing Start menu, we found ourselves often forced to leave the desktop, just to launch an application from the Start screen that took us right back to the desktop again. For example, if we were using File explorer on the desktop and then wanted to launch Windows Paint, we had to go to the Start screen, find the shortcut for Paint and then click it, only to be returned back to the desktop again. While it's true that users can pin shortcuts to the taskbar, leave shortcut icons laying around on the desktop or create keyboard shortcuts, most users will likely find themselves using the Start screen a lot of the time, whether they like it or not.
In addition to the lack of a Start button, users will notice that the desktop environment's aesthetic is much blander than in Windows 7. Where Windows 7 used an Aero glass effect that made window title bars and the taskbar transparent, Windows 8's desktop is made of boring flat surfaces with no gradients and few special effects. We suspect Microsoft made this move to improve performance.

review windows 8 pro Modern UI Start Screen

Click to EnlargeIf you're used to using Windows and haven't tried one of the various Windows 8 previews, you're in for a shock. Microsoft has added a second tile-based interface it calls the "Windows 8 user interface" on top of the traditional windowed desktop.After you log into Windows, the first screen you see is the Start screen, which contains a series of tiles, representing your applications and shortcuts. You can scroll to your right to see more shortcuts and you can drag the tiles around from column to column and even create custom groups by dragging the tiles around.
Most of the preloaded tiles are shortcuts to a special new kind of software that will only run on Windows 8 and only within the new tile-based UI. These new applications' tiles can be turned into self-updating "live tiles" that show new content directly on the Start screen. For example, we were able to see quotes for companies we were following directly in the stock app's tile and social updates from friends in the People app's tile.
Click to EnlargeIf you find its live updates annoying, you can right click any tile to change its settings. You can also change the size of tiles to large (full column) or small (half a column). Even at their smallest size, these tiles are much easier to target with a finger than icons on the Windows desktop.
When you launch a Windows 8 style app, that program appears as full screen with no window bar, task bar or any other navigation present. You can close an app by either swiping or dragging it down from the top of the screen to the very bottom.
Click to EnlargeWithin a Windows 8 app, swiping up from the bottom of the screen or right clicking/swiping down on a touchpad brings up the app bar, a context-sensitive menu for that program. (You can also use the Windows + Z keyboard shortcut.) In Internet Explorer, for example, the app bar shows thumbnails for all your open browser tabs. On the Start screen, the app bar shows a button that will take you to an All apps menu that shows thumbnails for absolutely every program you have installed

REVIEW WINDOWS 8 PRO Cloud Connected: Windows Account and SkyDrive

Click to Enlarge
When you first install Windows 8, you are prompted to log in with or create a new Microsoft account. By using a Microsoft account, your settings and preferences are stored in the cloud and synced across any Windows 8 devices you log into. When we logged into a second PC with the same username and designated that PC as a "trusted computer" in settings, we saw that our desktop wallpaper, social media networks and SkyDrive account all appeared on the new machine at next login. Microsoft deserves a lot of credit for making all of this work seamlessly behind the scenes.
If you need to install Windows 8 without an Internet connection or you just don't want to have a Microsoft account, you can create a local account that exists only on a single system. We strongly encourage you to use a Microsoft account, though, because it provides a single login for all the different Microsoft services you use. When we made a local account and then opened the People, Music, Video and SkyDrive apps for the first time, we were asked for the same username and password for each app.
Click to EnlargeWhen setting up your account, you have a choice of three verification methods. By default, the system will take your Microsoft account password or the password you set for your local account. However, in the settings menu you can opt for a 4-digit pin or a picture password, which consists of three custom gestures you perform over a custom photo of your choice.
Of the verification methods, we found picture password best for the tablet, because it did not require us to type anything. However, doing the exact same gestures over the same spot on a photo is more of a challenge with a mouse or touchpad. For keyboard users, we recommend sticking with the password or the PIN.
Microsoft has integrated its SkyDrive Cloud storage service into the OS, preloading a Windows 8-styled SkyDrive app and placing its tile in a prominent location on the Start screen. Whether or not they use Windows 8, SkyDrive users get 7GB of free storage with the option to buy additional capacity. The cloud service allows you to not only store files, but also to edit and create Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote documents in the Cloud.
The preloaded SkyDrive App provides a simple but attractive front-end for the service. It opens to a very basic screen showing the number of Documents, Pictures and publicly shared files you have in your account. You can then click through to any of these folders to view their online contents and upload or download files from them. If you want to edit or create a document, the app sends you to Internet Explorer.
In a puzzling business decision, Microsoft does not preload its SkyDrive application for the desktop. However, users have the option to download and install SkyDrive for Windows on their own, which will allow them to save and open files directly to SkyDrive and sync folders in the file system to the cloud.

Review Softwere Nitro Pro

Nitro Pro 8.1.1.3

PDF file are quite simply the best means of sending a document to somebody else in a format you'll know will appear exactly as you intend it to on their computer. It doesn't matter what application has been used to create the original document, by exporting it as a PDF you ensure it won't change appearance when viewed elsewhere.

These days, you can create PDFs without having to shell out for the privilege - once of the best free tools for creating PDFs comes in the form of the excellent Nitro Reader. But PDF ffile need to do more than simply replicate the original design of a document - they've become increasingly interactive, with form - filling, annotations, digital signatures and much more.




Some free PDF tools give you limited access to interactive features, but what if you want to go further? Perhaps you need to make minor alterations to the actual PDF document itself, or want to split or combine multiple documents into a single file? In the past, actually editing a PDF document meant an expensive purchase, but now Nitro Pro brings all the advanced functionality you need within the reach of individuals and small businesses too.

Nitro Pro – as you’d expect – allows you to create fully editable PDFs from any application, whether through dedicated conversion options as found in Microsoft Office 2003 or later, or by using its virtual print driver, which allows you to “print” your PDF from within any application. Nitro even allows you to combine multiple documents from a myriad of different sources together via a single dialog: just drag and drop your files into place, tweak the running order and let Nitro do the rest.

Nitro Pro also lets you edit the text and images in a PDF, swapping images, correcting typos or even editing entire paragraphs of text, plus adding headers/fooders and watermark. You can even convert existing PDFs back into editable documents, preserving the original layout – Word, Excel and a number of text formats are currently supported – plus extract images and text from the PDF easily.

Throw in powerful collaboration and annotation tools – 100 per cent compatible with Adobe Acrobat, approval controls, digital signatures and form filling, plus the ability to secure and protect PDFs by restricting access and usage, and you’ve got just about everything you need from a powerful PDF editor. And the good news is that all that power isn’t hidden away – unlike rival products, Nitro utilises the familiar ribbon-like interface found in Microsoft Office, ensuring all its tools are both accessible and easy to use.

Version 8 of Nitro PDF adds even more useful functionality. It now incorporates an OCR engine as standard for extracting editable text from scanned documents. A new smart alignment engine makes it easier to enter text neatly into non-interactive forms, while auto-save and recovery reduces the painful consequences of possible data loss. Performance has been improved too, with both conversion times and output file sizes reduced.

If we’re being pernickety, then the OCR engine isn’t perfect, but it’s the only minor blemish on what has become an irresistible package at a bargain price. If you’re looking for a powerful PDF editor that won’t break the bank, your search is over.

Build 8.1.1.3 brings these changes/improvements:

- Scanner Profiles provide quick access to pre-defined scanner configurations when scanning to PDF
- Remember Last Location initiates Open and Save dialogues in the directory you were last working in
- Google Search is available for words that are highlighted in the web browser plugin through the right click context menu
Verdict:

Not quite as major a step forward as version 7 was, Nitro Pro 8 nevertheless builds on previous versions to deliver a feature-rich, effective PDF tool for those who need more than the basic functions.

As for Christine, someone who was always regarded with awe by the other students, but there is a lonely hole in his heart inflamed; something invisible, and not known to anyone. If is the third book I've read Windhy Puspitadewi, after seblumnya I've read his work entitled Let Go and Morning Light. Although he could not quite remember the whole story as a whole, I have a pretty good impression on these two books, especially Morning Light. This time the book I wish I felt that Windhy still not lost his trademark: in the poetic writing style and sweet, and a conversation with a raw style that, quote-quote that hit, as well as valuable life lessons that can be learned from the story he convey. I think this story has a plot or storyline is less clear, because the story begins with the friendship the four main characters, and the story began to focus on each of them one by one: from Rizki, then the relationship between Juno-Arma, followed by Christine; then it all ends with something that is not discussed at all during the middle of the story (I will not tell you too full so no spoilers, P) Interaction of four simultaneously is too often the case. Even so, than any of the problems faced I feel there is a common thread that connects a whole, ie on the pronounced feeling for others to know. Through this book I learned that before it was too late, we should express what we feel. Will be painful if the left is the word "if ..."

Adobe Photoshop CS6 review

The new Photoshop CS6 interface design is the first thing to catch your eye. It uses darker tones to make your images stand out more, and this gives it more visual consistency with Lightroom and, for that matter, Photoshop Elements.
You can choose one of four different brightness values in the Preferences if you're not happy with the default.
And staying on a purely functional level, a new Background Save and Auto-recovery option should provide a level of protection against crashes, while the introduction of Adobe's Mercury Graphics Engine is designed to speed up processor-intensive tools like Liquify, Puppet Warp and Transform.
The new features include much more sophisticated cropping options, content-aware Move and Patch tools, a very interesting Blur Gallery, 'adaptive' wideangle lens adjustments, skintone-aware selections, improved auto adjustments and, surprisingly, some useful video editing tools.

Photoshop CS6 can now make selections based on skintones, and the new, 'intelligent' auto adjustments are drawn from thousands of hand-edited images

When you crop your photos you can now use a range of overlays, such as the Golden Ratio, Rule ofF Thirds or a simple grid to help you decide on the composition. You can save crop presets which include image size and resolution and, most signficantly, crops are now non-destructive. You can come back later, in other words, and re-do them if you change your mind.

The Crop tool now shows a series of different compositional overlays such as the Rule of Thirds and Golden Ratio

Adobe's also extended its clever content-aware technology to include the Move and Patch tools. In theory, you can now move objects around and have Photoshop fill the gaps that are left behind..
And with the Blur Gallery you can add a cinematic or 'film' look to digital images. 'Iris Blur' simulates the shallow depth of field of a wide lens aperture, 'Tilt-Shift Blur' creates a 'miniature' effect, while 'Field Blur' enables you to isolate individual objects against a blurred background.

The Patch Tool now benefits from Adobe's content-aware technology, though the results when removing this unsightly pole were, er, patchy

But the new video editing tools are the most striking addition. Increasingly, there's a crossover between stills photography and video, particularly for professional photographers. Photoshop CS6 can trim and combine video clips, insert transitions and even add titles, and all within the familiar Photoshop environment.
CS6 also comes with a new version of Adobe Camera Raw. ACR 7 (yes, it's annoying that the version numbers are out of step) has a new processing engine and improved tone-mapping, leading to a redesign of the tonal controls and better results when recovering shadows and highlights in RAW files. ACR also brings a greater range of controls to the Adjustment Brush, adding localised white balance, noise reduction and moire corrections.

Adobe Camera Raw 7 has a new tone-mapping engine, better shadow and highlight recovery and extra Adjustment Brush options

The improvements here are exactly the same as those in Lightroom 4, which is no surprise as that too is built around Adobe Camera Raw 7. It's good in the sense that there's consistency between the two products, though it also creates an overlap that could make it harder to figure out which of the two programs you need.
This is what you need to bear in mind if your interests are primarily photographic, Lightroom 4's editing tools are now so sophisticated that you may not often need Photoshop at all. And if you do, you might find Elements 10 perfectly adequate for the layers, montages and other effects that Lightroom can't do, rather than paying ten times more for Photoshop CS6.

Yet, somehow this book has brought an improvement for Indonesia since the submission of literature unique story. No loss if we try to read it. The novel contains a lot of very useful message for the readers. Armijn teaches us to share and to sacrifice for others.

In his novel, Armijn clever lines slipped the questions that continue the story from beginning to end, like this sentence, "Well looking back, useful are the ancient times, would not it be better. If the ancients was buried alone, forgotten altogether? '. However, with all the beauty and advantages, this book brings readers have difficulty in grasping the meaning Armijn Pane, mainly because of the use of Malay and Dutch.
