There are many of us who want the ultimate dream home, and some of those who can actually afford it. For the in-between group, various home design apps exist on Windows 10. Live Home 3D Pro is one worthy of a peek.
In an effort to keep Microsoft more transparent than ever, the company is letting users know what data it collects on them, and how it uses it. On Windows 10, a new app called the Diagnostic Data Viewer lets you see what they see.
As Bitcoin and other cyrptocurruencies become popular across the world, managing them can be cumbersome. There are various wallets and programs out there, but Windows 10 lacks any single great apps for it. Now, CryptoBook aims to help.
CryptoBook is a free Windows 10 app made by developer Patrick Mortara, and its a simple and well developed app to manage your cryptocurencies. Now, Bitcoin and other currencies can be managed in a single Windows 10 app.
With CrypotoBook, users are able to manage their Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrencies in a single app. It uses Cryptocompare.com’s API to get current prices and information, and has the ability to get more with the proper API’s plugged into the app.
This app makes it simple to manage such currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum Classic, and many others in a single app. This means not having to jump across various websites and programs, and makes it possible in one app.
I gave this one a try, since I have Bitcoin cash around, and wanted a simple way to manage it. It’s a 86.57 MB download, and it was a simple installation on my Windows machine. It loaded quickly, and let me input my amounts of Bitcoin owned and it worked right out of the gate.
The app itself is a simple and easy to use Cryptocurrency app, and it keeps all of your holdings in a single app. It’s totally free, but has in-app purchases if you want additional features. Overall, its an app I’ll keep on my desktop, and a worthy app.
Try getting CryptoBook for yourself on the Windows Store. It’s free, and if you own any of these new currencies, it’s a nice download.

Microsoft has often kept its core Windows 10 apps to its own download system, and not led users to a way to download them on their own, except for mobile devices. Now, users with Windows 10 can download them via the Windows Store.
The latest addition by Microsoft makes a big shift for the company, as it allows users to download its major Office apps directly via the store. They are not listed in preview mode anymore, and can be downloaded starting today.
Starting today, users are able to download Word 2016, Excel 2016, PowerPoint 2016, Access 2016, Outlook 2016, and Publisher 2016 Apps via the Windows Store. This is a major shift for the company and makes these apps easier to enjoy for users.
These apps will require the user to have a Office 365 subscription, and that is the major money maker for Microsoft in recent years. The renewing subscriptions keep users using the core apps, but this transition to downloadable apps makes the apps easier to get.
So, you might be wondering if these apps via the Windows Store are for you, and whether it makes sense to download them via the store. From a simplicity and security standpoint, the apps will be frequently updated by Microsoft, and the simpleness of a click download is awesome.
But, if you are a long-term Microsoft and Windows user, the thought of the apps being in the store might be just too easy. Some like the web installs or other installation methods. I’ve downloaded a few via the store, and even as an advanced user found it easy and great.
You can download these Windows 10 Office apps starting today. If you subscribe to Office 365, go grab them if you need them, and be productive.
As the new year dawns upon us, the idea of staying healthy and losing weight makes sense. A new Fitbit coach app has arrived via the Windows Store, and it is aimed to be the fitness app on Windows 10.
It turns out that Microsoft might also be delivering IPTV content along with other live options to their XBOX 360 customers. Microsoft has already confirmed the coming of live TV on the XBOX, so this would just the right icing on the TV cake.
Industry sources have reported that Microsoft may be planning to build their own tablet and of course, run the next version of Windows on it. The Redmond-based tech giant will apparently unveil this tablet some time next year.
Yep, you heard it. XBOX 360 is getting live TV and you will be able to record it. Advanced DVR functions will allow you to replay for example UFC fights.
Windows Azure is a Microsoft platform that allows developers to create and store apps in the clouds. The Windows Azure toolkit integrates this ability with mobile platforms.
Although it might seem like Internet Explorer 9 just released, Internet Explorer 10 is already in the works. In fact, there is already an Internet Explorer 10 preview available for people to view and test drive.
Microsoft has made a statement saying that they will be backing the AT&T’s merger with T-Mobile USA, on the grounds that the combined entity will be much better at rolling out a stronger nationwide broadband plan.
Totyota teamed up with Microsoft to bring the cloud to the next generation cars. A social network for cars could bring cars to the next level. Is this the first steps towards real driverless cars? Maybe.
Is a portable XBOX 360 coming this year? Sony had some success with their PSP (portable Playstation), so why should Microsoft not try to come up with a porable XBOX 360 and snag some of their market share.
Microsoft’s recent purchase of Skype from eBay has completely put the market in a state of strong but mixed reactions. Whilst some analysts have condemned this move, citing it completely unnecessary and redundant, others have said that it might pay up through other avenues.
Before you get any naughty ideas, this is a virtual changing room. A store in Russia has introduced a sort of virtual changing room where you can virtually try on clothes by waving your hands in this air.
In a recent study published by ComScore, Bing has continued to perform well in core searches and has received over 14% of all searches in April this year. Even though that is nothing compared to market leader Google, it is part of an upward mobility for Bing.
Dell, eBay, Fujitsu and HP intend to deploy the Windows Azure appliance in their datacenters. But for what?
A newly uncovered patent application seems to point at the fact that Nokia is working on a 3D phone (no you won’t need any 3D glases for it).
If you ever wondered if it is possible to convert iPhone apps to Windows phone 7 apps, Microsoft now provides a great little tool that should simplify the conversion process. Download after the break.
If you are wondering what Microsoft is doing behind the scenes, according to some job postings, Microsoft is working on a “next-generation” console. Could this console, the “XBOX720” have cloud support?
