Nintendo is back to surface .. Pokemon Go

After long waiting ... Get ready for an all-new Pokémon experience! Pokémon GO opens a universe of Pokémon to find, catch, trade, and battle on your iPhone or Android device! With Pokémon GO, you'll discover Pokémon in a whole new world—your own! Pokémon GO will use real location information to allow players to experience catching, trading, and battling Pokémon.

Pokémon Go isn't the first Pokémon title to come out on mobile devices, but it's by far the most unusual — unusual enough that The Pokémon Company decided to hold a rare press conference in Tokyo today to explain the concept. The game is developed by Niantic, the former Google internal startup behind GPS-powered AR game Ingress, and the idea is for players to collect and battle Pokémon by exploring the real world.

So far, so Ingress, but the weirdest aspect of the whole affair is Pokémon Go Plus. It's basically a Nintendo-built Bluetooth smartwatch-a-like that gives you a presence in the Pokémon Go world without having to actively use your phone. So, if a virtual Pikachu is hanging out in your local train station, your watch will buzz and flash to notify you that there's a Pokémon ready to be captured on your commute. Pokémon Go Plus isn't essential to playing Pokémon Go; it's just meant to make the experience smoother.

• The watches glow and vibrate when you walk somewhere in the real world that corresponds with somewhere in Pokémon Go's virtual world.

Much of Pokémon Go remains under wraps, but I was at least able to see the Pokémon Go Plus wearable for myself. As you'd expect, we're not exactly dealing with an Apple Watch level of fit and finish here. But the Pokémon Go concept is intriguing enough alone, and feels like the perfect fit for Ingress — a cool project that never really resonated with a wide audience. If anything can get people hooked on AR gaming, Pokémon can.

• Pokémon Go Plus was developed because of Nintendo's concerns over people spending too much time looking at their phones.

No price has been set yet for the Pokémon Go Plus watch, but the game will be "free-to-start" with in-app purchases.

Windows 10 Advantages and disadvantages

Windows 10 advantages:

1- New Start Menu 

 The new Start Menu is smarter than the one in Windows 8 and 8.1. It recognizes if you are using a desktop computer or a tablet and presents you with a Start Menu that is adapted for the environment which you are using. It is even smart enough to work with convertible tablet that docks with a keyboard, intelligently shifting between tablet mode and desktop mode on-the-fly.

2- Cortona 

Cortona is Microsoft’s new virtual assistant. If you need to know something, just ask. She will be able to initiate calls, schedule reminders, set alarms, check calendars, and do many other things, all with the power of voice. She can even be asked to search for items on your computer.

3- Notifications 

 Notifications have been enhanced, compared to Windows 8. There is now an Action Center you can pull out from the side to see past notifications that you might not have caught when they first appeared.

4- Unified Control Panel

The new panel that presents all of your settings is now the same whether you are using a desktop computer or tablet. There is no separate view for each mode. This should make things easier to find, no matter what device you are using.

5- Intelligent Home Folder

 Now when you launch a new Explorer Window you will be greeted by a row of familiar folders you tend to use often, plus a lineup of recently created and opened files, making it easier to find the things you use often. That file that you just saved, but now you can not find, just open a new Explorer Window and it should appear.

6-Boot to Desktop

Windows 10 now boots straight to a desktop mode. No more Start Page.
Virtual Desktops - This feature has appeared in other operating systems for a long time, and it is now a welcome feature in Windows 10. If you have always wanted the features of multiple monitors without the cost, this is one way to achieve it. You will be able to quickly switch between virtual desktops and move applications from one desktop to another.

7-Metro Desktop Apps

 Metro apps can now be ran in resizeable windows that can be moved around the desktop, just like any other window. No more having to snap a Metro app beside a the desktop just to use it.

8- Universal Apps 

 Apps from the new Windows Store will run on anything from a Windows Phone to Windows Server Edition. Settings, notifications, credentials, and even saved games, among many other things, will all synchronize between apps on different devices.

9- Edge Browser 

 The new browser, codenamed “Spartan,” is set to replace Internet Explorer. The Edge browser will have deep integration with Cortona. She will show you the weather from the URL bar and maps, menu information, and contact details when you search for restaurants.

10- Bonus: Free 

 We almost forgot to mention, the upgrade is free. During the first year of its release it will be free for anyone with a consumer license to upgrade from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. (Enterprise versions of Windows 7 and 8.1 will not be able to received free upgrades. This will not affect most people.)

Windows 10 disadvantages:

1. Default settings app

Windows 10 is to remove default settings appication from control panel to PC settings app.For example if we press the network icon on the taskbar it takes directly to PC settings(similar to windows app). Few may not like it.
Control panel is not really dead, but to sync the theme with windows 10 theme there are hiding control panel!

2) windows media center

Microsoft declares windows media center is (dead) not going to be in windows 10.

3) Hamburger Menu

The one who don't like hamburger menu are not go no like windows 10 store apps(all most all apps have hamburger menu)

4) For the one who love to use small icons and fonts also may take time to like windows 10.

5) For now Microsoft is reporting that the windows 10 update license will be only for an year.
