TOP 5 Android Games............WHICH U SHOULD NEVER MISS

We always go for top console quality games. This post from AtAwAb brings out the top 5 games from android platform.



1.Modern Combat 4 Zero Hour....

It is a great console quality game which competes with COD and Battlefield series. IT has a good gameplay and story and realistic graphics. This non stop action FPS android game deserves first place. Inn this game we are a soldier and we fight our way through in a battle. We can swap between various guns. This game is outstanding in every feature.

2.BackStab..........

For assassin's creed fans this is the game u have been expecting in android platform as most of the assassins creed features are inserted in this game. This game has good graphics and it also has a big map to roam.

3.Real Racing 3....

This game by EA is outstanding in graphics and every detail at first this game is so enjoyable but it as the game moves forward the demand for the money increases as the other cars are fast. But for graphics this games is voted.

4.Dream League Soccer...

Instead of choosing FIFA or PES I chose this as it is a very good game and it is free. In this we undergo the stress of maintaining a team training and buying new players. The graphics and controls are good but the details off each players face is repeated but when compared to other features it does not matter. So this game gets my vote. But FIFA is also good but it is not unlocked in free version.

Now the 5th games is not about graphics but as itt is a basic game but believe me it will make u addict.

5.2048.........

This is a number puzzle game. I don't like puzzles but my co-founder forced me to play this game but this game turned out to be so good so i am recommending this game to you.

Why shouldn't Amazon accept Paypal?

We have always wondered at the checkout time in Amazon that why it doesn't accept Paypal. There is a reason and a solution behind it.

Reason:
                          You can't use Paypal in Amazon because PayPal is owned by Ebay. And Ebay is a competitor of Amazon.

Solution:
               Amazon must acquire a startup that is more capable than PayPal.

Simple Translation Using iTranslate - Windows 8 and Windows Phone app(review)

This is for the once who are hunting for a Windows 8 or Windows phone 8 App for translation. iTranslate is an app which you may include as one of your many choices for a translating Windows app.

You can convert the text you type or just speak to over eighty languages. The app is so simple and the result is 99% trust able. iTranslate becomes a rather appealing language app for Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8.

It has a simple layout

The simple layout of the app could be understood if we use it for two minutes. The two language, the language you give the input and the language the app gives the output, shown in the top of the page. In the bottom centre we have an option for displaying the history and an option to hear our favourite translations. A three dot option is found in the bottom left corner which allows us to upgrade to the premium version of iTranslate and also the settings of the app.

The settings option

The features displayed in the settings option is very few. It has an option to turn on/off the auto correction and also an option to turn on/off the live tile.

Choosing a language is accomplished by tapping on the flag icon to pull up the list of over eighty languages. Some languages (those with the three-dot menu option) will support voice output and have the option to choose a male or female voice. Additionally, some languages offer Country options for different dialects/styles of the language. For example, English will have U.K., U.S. and Australian options while Spanish will have options for Spain, Mexico and U.S. This is a nice option to give you a more precise interpretation.

Translation

Once you have your language choices set, just tap the field to the right of the language flag and your on-screen keyboard will pop-up. The translation is bi-directional in that you can type the text you want translated or text you need translated.

iTranslate is optimized for fast typing with predictive text that will pop-up as you type. iTranslate’s keyboard does support landscape orientation to give you a little more elbowroom for typing. I did find that this feature was a little buggy at times and wouldn’t always appear as you began typing.



Once you get the translation on the screen, you will have three options up under the three-dot menu that sits to the right of either text fields. These options include sending the text to your Windows Phone clipboard, share the text or listen to an audible version of the text (not supported by all languages). You will also have the ability to tag a translation as a favorite for easier reference.

Premium Version and Windows 8

There is a premium version of iTranslate that removes the ad support and removes the restrictions on how many characters can be translated. The free version does have a fairly liberal translation limit at 3000 characters and the ads aren’t that intrusive. The premium version is currently running $4.49 and unless you have the need for high volume translations, you can probably survive with the free, ad-supported version.



The Windows 8 version of iTranslate is very similar to the Windows Phone 8 version; you just get a little more elbowroom for typing. The Windows 8 version is free as well and also offers a premium version ($4.49 as well).

Overall Impression

iTranslate’s simple interface does make it an attractive language option. The only thing that would make it any easier is if it could scan text or record audio and translate it.

The audio option is a nice feature that lets you hear how the translation should be spoken or to let someone else hear what you are trying to say.

iTranslate does require a data connection to operate. The data requirement does help keep the overall size of the app down but this could be an issue while traveling. Otherwise, iTranslate comes across as a very solid translation app for your Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 device.

You can find the Windows Phone 8 version of iTranslate here in the Windows Phone Store. The Windows 8 version of iTranslate can be picked up here in the Windows Store. Both are free, ad-supported apps with the option to upgrade to the premium version for $4.99.

Top 3 Windows 8 Music&Video APPS

Music and Video- Netflix and Hulu may be a blast to watch, but they can cost a bit. Here are some great Music and Video applications to chill back with.

Hyper for YouTube

There may be a ton of YouTube applications available for Windows 8, but they simply don’t all shine. Some are missing features, while others are downright ugly. After extensive testing of all the YouTube apps, we have to crown “Hyper for YouTube” as the king. Sure, the layout might be identical to another more well know app, but this app provides more features, access to your favorite content, and the ability to snap the video in any screen ratio you desire – win! You can download the app from the Windows Store by clicking here.

Nokia MixRadio

There are a colossal number of radio on-demand streaming services, including the one that comes preinstalled on your Windows 8 PC (Radio through Xbox Music). Despite already having something built-in, many of our readers simply love Nokia MixRadio. There is nothing more to say other then, Nokia has done it again and created a beautiful, yet functional, application for Windows 8. You can download the app from the Windows Store by clicking here.

VEVO

If you love music, but also love videos - than you probably have a thing for music videos. If such is the case, you can download the VEVO app for Windows 8. The VEVO catalog features over 75,000 music videos, along with live concerts and a 24/7 music channel. There is simply no way to better experience your favorite music videos as VEVO has contracts with all the major labels. You can download the app from the Windows Store by clicking here.

Make Windows 8 Feel Like Windows 7...

If you have a PC with Windows 8 or 8.1 but miss Windows 7, there’s no need to downgrade. Following a few simple steps, you can make Microsoft’s current operating system look and feel almost identical to its predecessor. Here’s how to bring back the Start menu and the attractive aero glass theme how to hide other Windows 8 elements like the Charms menu.

Step 1: Swap the Start screen for a Start menu

Without a doubt, the most unfamiliar (and, for some, most annoying) feature of Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 is its tile-based Start screen. Where Windows 7 lets you choose from a list of applications by pulling up the Start menu, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 make you go to a completely separate screen just to launch an application or conduct a search. Windows 8.1 places a Start button in the lower left corner of the screen, but don’t be fooled; it does nothing more than take you back to the same tile-based Start screen when you click it.

There are a number of third-party Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 Start menu apps including the free Classic Shell, but if you’re willing to pay $4.99, we recommend Start8, because it looks the most like the Windows 7 Start menu and allows you to control many other elements of the UI. 

To set up Start8:

1. Download and install Start8. You can try the program for 30 days without paying for it.
   
2. Select Windows 7 Style and Shadow Theme under the Style tab.
   
3. Select the Desktop tab.
   
4. Check “Disable all Windows 8 hot corners.” This setting will prevent the Charms and Windows 8 Start shortcut from appearing when you hover the mouse in a corner.
   
5. Make sure “Automatically go to the Desktop when I sign in” is checked. This way Windows 8 / Windows 8.1 will take you straight to the desktop when it boots rather than making you go through the Start screen first.
    
6. Make sure Disable Taskbar Translucency is unchecked.
    
7. Select the Control tab.
    
8. Uncheck “show the Windows 8 menu when I press the right windows key.” With this setting off, you won’t accidentally end up on the Start screen if you hit the right Windows key.
    
9. Close the Start8 settings window.
10. View all your programs by clicking All Programs on the Start8 menu.
     
11. Pin your favorite programs to Start8 by right-clicking on them and selecting Pin To Start8.
    

Step 2: Install the Windows 7 Aero theme

With Windows 8, Microsoft took away the attractive translucent Aero glass effects and style many people love in Windows 7. Instead, the company made the desktop theme flat, solid and a little bit boring. While you can’t get all of the translucent effects back, you can get a very similar look to Windows 7′s default theme.

1. Download and install UxStyle. This application tweaks your settings so you can install third-party themes you didn’t get from Microsoft.
   
2. Download this Windows 7 theme from Deviant Art and open its zip file. Ignore the warning saying that it does not work in Windows 8.1. 
   
3. Copy the contents of the Themes Files folder from the zip file to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes.
   
4. Double-click the Aero8Rounded-Default.theme icon. Your theme should now change to Aero 8 rounded, which looks like Windows 7′s default theme, complete with the Windows 7 logo wallpaper.
    

To switch back and forth between this theme, the Windows 7 Architecture theme and several other Windows 7 and Windows 8 themes, right-click on the desktop and select Personalize.

 

Step 3: Add an Aero glass effect to window title bars

Even with the Aero theme installed, the window title bars and borders are opaque. While you can’t make all parts of the UI have the smoky translucent effect they do in Windows 7, WinaeroGlass can make the title bars see-through. 

1. Download and unzip WinaeroGlass to your desktop.
2. Double-click Winaeroglass.exe to turn on its visual effect. At present the app has no UI; it just works.
    
3. Copy WinaeroGlass.exe to the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder if you want it to start every time Windows 8 starts.
   

Step 4: Skip the lock screen

Windows 7 doesn’t waste your time by making you swipe away a lock screen before you get to its login prompt. Fortunately, it’s easy enough to disable Windows 8′s time-wasting lock screen.

1. Open Regedit by hitting Windows + R and entering regedit at the prompt.
    
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MARCHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows.
    
3. Create a registry key called Personalization if it doesn’t already exist. You can create a key by right-clicking on the Windows key, selecting New then Key and renaming the folder that appears.
   
4. Create a new DWORD value and name it NoLockScreen. To create a DWORD, right-click in the white space on the right side of the window and select New then DWORD (32-bit) value. Rename the DWORD.
   
5.  Assign NoLockScreen a value of 1 by double-clicking it and entering the number 1 in the dialog box that appears.
   
6. Close Regedit and reboot. From now on you will be taken straight to the login prompt.

Step 5: Run Windows 8 style apps in Desktop mode

Even if your desktop looks like Windows 7, you have a Start menu and your system boots you directly to the desktop, you may still want to run some Windows 8 apps. Under normal conditions, you’d be forced to run new style apps like Bing News or the People app at full screen in Windows 8′s Modern UI, but with the help of a utility called ModernMix you can run every Windows 8 program in its own draggable, resizable window on the desktop.

1. Download and install ModernMix. The application costs $4.99 but has a free 30-day trial. You may need to enter your email address to receive a download link.
   
2. Select Windowed mode under “When launched from the Windows 8 Start Menu.” With this setting enabled, even if you launch a Windows 8 app from the Start screen, it will open on the desktop.
    
3. Select “Never return to the Windows 8 menu when I close applications” under the Advanced tab.
   
4. Close the ModernMix settings window.

As long as ModernMix is running, all Windows 8 style apps (also known as Modern apps) will run in windows. You can even pin Windows 8 apps to the taskbar by right-clicking on their taskbar icons and selecting “Pin this program to taskbar.”
