- Chrome Support Ending For Windows XP, Vista In 2016 - Google
Chrome, by some estimates the world's third most popular desktop web
browser, will cease to support older versions of Microsoft's Windows
and Apple's OS X operating systems. In a recent blog
post, Google announced that it intends to discontinue support for
Chrome on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OS X versions 10.6, 10.7,
and 10.8 by April 2016 because "these platforms are no longer actively
supported by Microsoft and Apple." Google did not release a specific
date when for when it intends to discontinue support.
- Windows 10 November Update ISOs are now available - Microsoft
began the rollout of its first major update to Windows 10 since the OS
was released back in July. The November Update - better known to
Windows Insiders as build 10586 - brings a wide range of improvements,
including significant boosts to performance of the OS. Of course, not
everyone wants to upgrade their existing installations, but there's
good news for those who favor installing the new build afresh. As
WinSuperSite's Richard Hay spotted, the ISOs can be downloaded now from
MSDN - but of course, that requires an MSDN subscription. For those
without a subscription, Microsoft is directing users to its Windows
10 Software Download page, which has been updated with the newest
OS version, and explains:
If you need to install or reinstall Windows 10 using a USB or DVD, you
can use the media creation tool below to create your own installation
media with either a USB flash drive or a DVD. The tool provides file
formats optimized for download speed and can be used to create ISO
files.
- Google Maps Now Available Offline - Google
today said Maps can now be used without an active internet
connection. People can download maps for cities, counties, and even
entire countries so routing and basic navigation tools will function
when there's a poor connection or no connection at all. Offline maps
support simple routing between points, but don't support live traffic.
Maps will only download regions via WiFi, and will automatically jump
to a live version of Maps when it recognizes that there is an internet
connection. Google said offline support is rolling out to Android users
first, and will eventually be available to iOS users. Google Maps is
free to download from the Play Store and iTunes App Store.
- T-Mobile's Uncarrier X Event Heralds Free Video Streaming - T-Mobile today
announced free wireless data streaming at an event in Los Angeles.
The Uncarrier program mirrors that of T-Mobile's Music Freedom, which
lets customers stream music over its network without impacting data
allotments. The free streaming video program is called Binge On and
works in much the same way. The service is compatible with 24 video
services at launch, such as Netflix, Hulu, HBO Go/Now, Showtime, Vevo,
and others. T-Mobile said video will be optimized via proprietary
technology to reduce how much data it consumes as it transits the
network. T-Mobile said the service is open to any video service that
meets its technical requirements. Video is streamed at DVD quality,
which means 480p, not 720p or 1080p high definition. Customers can
toggle between free 480p video or data-consuming HD at any time.
T-Mobile also "doubled the data" available in each of its data buckets
for families and businesses at no additional cost. The data plans
available are 2GB, 6GB, and 10GB. The base Simple Choice plan costs $50
per month and now includes 2GB of data. The second line costs $30 and
each additional line after that is $10. Customers who subscribe to
T-Mobile's
