Sony rumoured to be a launching an Xperia smartphone with OLED display

Better late than never they say. It’s being reported in Japan that Sony plans to finally make a switch to OLED displays for its smartphones by next year or the year after. So far, the Japanese company has only used LCD panels for its phones. If true, this’ll put them at par in the display game with the likes of Samsung and other brands, who have been using OLED screens for its flagship devices.

At the moment, Samsung is the biggest manufacturer of OLED screens for phones. Sony is reportedly waiting for LG and JDI to boost production of OLED screens so they can buy the panels from them instead. And these panels could be ready by 2018 or 2019.

Windows Essentials are no longer available, exisiting installs not supported

Windows Essentials 2012 may seem like and outdated suite of software (made available as an add on) but it did have one application that was used and loved by millions becuase it was simple and effective. I'm talking about Windows Video Maker which as an easy to use and effective video editor, pretty much Microsoft's answer to iMovie but without many bells and whistles.

Many a successful YouTuber's career was likely launched by Windows Video Maker and while I get that Microsoft had to retire Windows Essentials (Including Photo Gallery, Live Writer, OneDrive, Skype) but they never offered a replacement for Video Editor which is a damn shame as it was still the best 'quikc and dirty' way to get video done in a Windows machine. Microsoft seems fixated on Creators and using Windows to make cool things, hopefully they'll surprise us with a new video editor come this March.
