Review: Instagram Explorer puts Instagram on display in Windows 8

AppId is over the quota

Sie mögen denken, eine Instagram-app, die Ihnen nicht erlaubt, Fotos zu machen wäre irgendwie sinnlos... aber Instagram-Explorer, eine Windows-8-app für die moderne Benutzeroberfläche hat viel Potenzial. Benutze es ist nicht anders als das Surfen auf der Website Instagram.com, aber Instagram-Explorer bringt diese Erfahrung in Windows 8 alternative Ansicht.

Schöne Bilder sehen noch schöner auf einer großen Leinwand.

Instagram Explorer-Standardansicht wird Ihre live-Feed, viel wie angezeigt, wenn Sie Instagram.com besuchen. Es ist eine schöne Abwechslung zum Anzeigen einige der wunderschönen Fotos findest du auf Instagram auf einen größeren Bildschirm. Es ist auch einfacher, Fotos kommentieren, wenn Sie geräumige Immobilien eine Windows 8 Desktop oder Laptop verwenden, und das Kommentarfeld wird auffälliger angezeigt hier, als es am Instagram.com ist.

Instagram-Explorer für Windows 8 zeigt Ihres Freundes-profile fast genau wie Sie sie auf Instagram.com sehen würde.

Instagram Explorer-Profil-Ansicht ist besser als die quadratischen Fliesen gleich große neueste Fotos auf Ihrem Smartphone anzeigen. Stattdessen Instagram Explorer — wie Instagram.com—displays von in verschiedenen Größen Fotos und einige ändert wie Sie suchen. Insgesamt ist die Wirkung weit optisch ansprechender als die mobile Ansicht.

Die app kostenlose, werbefinanziert schlägt Promis zu folgen.

Instagram Explorer schlägt "berühmt" Benutzer, die Sie möglicherweise, um Ihre Favoriten zu machen, aber ich fand diese Funktion überflüssig. Es schlug vor, ein paar Leute würde ich kannte (Katie Couric), einige, die ich hatte noch nie gehört (Cody Simpson?) und mehrere ich möchte (Kim Kardashian) vergessen. Klick auf einen beliebigen die Namensvorschläge können Sie diese Person Profil um check it out, zu besuchen, obwohl die app ein bisschen langsam war, manchmal umsteigen.

Wenn Sie ständig schnappen Fotos und teilen sie mit Ihrem Instagram-Anhänger, Instagram-Explorer möglicherweise ein bisschen eingeschränkt für Sie. Und wenn Sie nicht auf Windows 8 moderne Benutzeroberfläche angewiesen sind, haben Sie keine Notwendigkeit für diese app: Instagram.com bietet eine fast identische Feature-Set. Aber wenn Sie nach einer einfachen Möglichkeit suchen, sich zurückzulehnen und Fotos auf Instagram bei der Verwendung von Windows 8 durchsuchen, diese kostenlose app ist für Sie.

Hinweis: Die Download-Schaltfläche gelangen Sie in den Windows-laden, wo Sie herunterladen können diese Windows-8-app.

Review: 64 bit Adobe preview handler shows PDF thumbnails in the Windows File Explorer

If I have a Windows 8 64 bit upgrade-back a few months, then something strange happened. The thumbnails for all of my PDF files disappeared. Normally, if I show an Explorer folder, I have PDF files "view large icons" (as it then gives a preview of me on the first page of the file looks).  But Windows 8 wiped all of it. I could not even get the default Adobe PDF logo. So I have my usual and went Googling for answers and ended up with a free program called 64 bit Adobe preview handler.

The app itself is just a simple box, which can be closed as soon as you click on "apply update".

This small app (it weighs in at a ridiculous 1 MB) makes a small registry, the fix bringing back your PDF thumbnail images. The question of the disappearing thumbnails does not seem to only Windows 8 but limited. Anyone using Vista or Windows the problem may occur 7 64-bit, and 64-bit Adobe preview handler is here to save the day.

Just the usual do download and install, and when you start it, you will see a small window. There is pretty much nothing to configure-no options or anything else. Click 'apply update', and start Windows Explorer.  If it still doesn't work, you have to delete, also your thumbnail cache but do not worry, this is very easy to do. Just run Disk Cleanup utility, select the drive C, place a check mark in the field of "Thumbnails" and then click OK. The system will do the rest.

Check you should get back to Windows Explorer, and respawn your PDF thumbnail images see.

You have to keep in mind, that this is no official solution from Adobe, and according to the developer this fix, Adobe doesn't seem too much time for an official fix make be.  Yes, until they in trouble (the possibly never), can be with this unofficial fix by Leo Davidson is more than adequate.  And when you the update how, then support the developer send him a PayPal donation.  This encourages him to continue the unofficial work he does on Adobe's behalf.

Note: The download button on the product information page takes you to the manufacturers website where you can download the latest version of the software.

Announcing the Explorer Touch Mouse

Today, Microsoft Hardware has announced the Explorer Touch Mouse. With the Explorer Touch Mouse, the folks at Microsoft Hardware have expanded on the touch strip technology seen on the Arc Touch Mouse by providing vertical and horizontal navigation, allowing you to swipe your mouse in any direction. They also added the ability to change the speed of scrolling from slow, to medium and then “hyperfast” for speeding through lengthy documents. And you can feel and hear how quickly you are scrolling via the haptic technology built in to the mouse. It also uses BlueTrack Technology so it can be used on a variety of surfaces beyond just your desk.

Oh and one other thing: the Explorer Touch Mouse is Microsoft’s first mouse to offer up to 18 months of battery life. How cool is that?

 

The Explorer Touch Mouse will be available in September for $49.95. But stay tuned, I’ll be talking more about this mouse in a few weeks.

Internet Explorer 9 Hardware Acceleration and Third Party Hypervisors

Working with VMware, Microsoft has identified an issue within Internet Explorer 9 that may prevent third party hypervisors from being able to take advantage of IE9's hardware acceleration feature. As a result, IE9 will default to software rendering when running in some virtual machines. Internet Explorer 9 interacts with non-Microsoft hypervisors differently than earlier versions of Internet Explorer. Microsoft is working on a prioritized update to Internet Explorer 9 and plans to make it available in the coming weeks to ensure that customers using third party hypervisors, such as those offered by VMware and other vendors will have the best possible experience.
