Introduction

In this episode of Norwich Today, Dominik provides a series of technology updates. Key moments include a discussion on the upcoming release of Windows 10, an overview of Apple Music and Taylor Swift's criticisms of its free trial, and a look at virtual reality tools like Google Cardboard and Oculus Rift.

Dominik discusses various technology updates, including the upcoming release of Windows 10, which is expected to be free for the first year and more desktop-friendly than Windows 8. The conversation covers Microsoft's Hololens augmented reality headset and Apple's WWDC announcements regarding iPad split-screen views and Apple Music. Dominik also notes Taylor Swift's criticism of Apple Music's free trial. Further topics include Google Photos' unlimited storage for compressed images, Google Cardboard's 3D video capabilities, and the Oculus Rift.

So, if you want to upgrade from what you have at the moment, you'll be able to do that for free from Microsoft. So they've skipped out Windows nine, then. Well, yes, some people speculate that's because Windows eight was such a stinker that they want to get as far away from the eight number as as possible.

Well, as I as I said, the the biggest difference is it will be more desktop friendly. So instead of you know when you hit the start button, for example, it won't just take over your entire screen. It will just pop up sort of a menu, kind of more similar to Windows Seven, but more sort of colorful with more options and things like that.

Yes, they can find my blog on the Dyslexia Action website, DyslexiaAction.org.uk. Every two weeks, something interesting shows up there. This week, it will be about how you can save your sight when you look at bright screens, and we may talk about that next time here as well.
