Spanish site OneWindows.es reports that some WhatsApp Beta users are now able to make video calls from their Windows Phones. The feature appears to have been added via a server-side change, as it did not require a new update to the app, and is not available to all, but users report re-installing the app can make the feature available. When you click the call button you are now offers two options – Voice and Video Calls. The video calls feature lets you change to the rear camera and mute the call. Other changes to the software is that it will now show in your log if a call was voice or video, and let you initiate either. Source: MS Poweruser

We all want there to be aliens. Green ones, pink ones, brown ones, Greys. Or maybe Vulcans, Klingons, even a being of pure energy. Any type will do. That’s why whenever a mysterious signal or energetic fluctuation arrives from somewhere in the cosmos and hits one of our many telescopes, headlines erupt across the media: “Have We Finally Detected An Alien Signal?” or “Have Astronomers Discovered An Alien Megastructure?” But science-minded people know that we’re probably getting ahead of ourselves. Skepticism still rules the day when it comes to these headlines, and the events that spawn them. That’s the way it should be, because we’ve always found a more prosaic reason for whatever signal from space we’re talking about. But, being skeptical is a balancing act; it doesn’t mean being dismissive. What we’re talking about here is a new study from E.F. Borra and E. Trottier, two astronomers at Laval University in Canada. Their study, titled “Discovery of peculiar periodic spectral m...

There are many cases when we have to remove some unused values from the Array which no longer needed within the program. In this tutorial, I show you some ways to remove the item from the Array. 1. pop() – Remove last value This method remove and returns the removing value from the last. Syntax – array-name.pop(); Example  var names_arr = ["Yogesh","Sonarika","Vishal","Anil"]; console.log('Return : ' + names_arr.pop() ); for(var key in names_arr){  console.log("index : " + key + " , name : " + names_arr[key]); } Output Return: Anil index : 0 , name : Yogesh index : 1 , name : Sonarika index : 2 , name : Vishal 2. shift() – Remove first value It also returns the removing value as pop() but it removes from the first instead of last. After delete, it adjusts the indexes. Syntax – array-name.shift(); Example  var names_arr = ["Yogesh","Sonarika","Vishal...

Microsoft on Tuesday showed off the next incarnation of a major software product called Dynamics 365, stuffed full of new features and artificial intelligence. Microsoft has been teasing Dynamics 365 for a while now, as is its custom. On Tuesday the company announced that Dynamics 365 will be will be available to customers worldwide beginning November 1. This is the product that goes head-to-head with Salesforce, as well as Oracle and SAP. Dynamics 365 is cloud software that has combined what's known as CRM or customer relationship management software - used by salespeople to track prospects and customers (a market Salesforce leads) - with ERP or enterprise resource management software. ERP is financial, manufacturing, and supply chain management software, a market where SAP is the biggest player, followed by Oracle. This new product is one of the main reasons that Microsoft bought LinkedIn for more than $26 billion. Dynamics 365 includes new applications that sift throug...

Details on Microsoft's plans to redesign its famous paint app for Windows 10 started leaking over the weekend, and now an early version of the app has appeared online for anyone to download. Microsoft is completely overhauling its Paint app, and the new version is designed to be a Universal Windows app with pen- and touch-friendly features. While a launch video demonstrates all the new 3D objects support, the leaked app appears to have been distributed in May to Microsoft testers. I've had a chance to test out the new Paint app, and I'm surprised by the speed of the application. Most Universal Windows apps, Office excluded, often fail to demonstrate the potential for the platform and rarely include advanced features that are often found in desktop apps. The animations in the app work well, and many of the basic features are a lot easier to use with your fingers than the previous Paint desktop app. NO LAYERS SUPPORT JUST YET Unfortunately, the new version of Pain...
