The End is Here for Windows XP but Laplink is helping users move on

Starting today, Windows XP users will no longer receive technical assistance, security updates, or hot-fixes to their PCs. This leaves Windows XP users vulnerable to hackers, viruses, and other malware until they upgrade or migrate quickly to a different version of Windows.

“Windows XP has been a very successful operating system for many years,” stated Laplink’s CEO, Thomas Koll. “But with Microsoft ending support for Windows XP today, it’s time for XP users to move to a newer, more reliable, and more secure operating system. Laplink offers several affordable tools to make that process easy and allow a high degree of customization by enabling the selection of files, folders and compatible applications.”

Qualcomm introduces 64-bit Snapdragon chipsets

Qualcomm is bringing to the market two new mobile processors built with 64-bit architecture and Cat 6 LTE. The Snapdragon 810 and 808 are intended to improve on its current offerings to help usher in better devices in the future. The chips are expected to hit the market next year.

The new members of the Snapdragon line will add support for 4K displays with the help of the Adreno 430 GPU and these processors based on ARM core designs instead of its own Krait.

While the 808 uses two ARM Cortex-A57 with a quad-core Cortex-A53 CPU.

Twitter buys Android lockscreen app maker Cover

Twitter looks to be building its mobile presence with its latest acquisition. The social network has bought the company behind the alternative Android lockscreen Cover. Cover places the apps you use on the lockscreen based on the time of day and your location. We’re not sure what the implications of this sale are at the moment (trying to compete with Facebook Home, perhaps?). The newly acquired company did not say if they will develop the app further as they integrate into Twitter’s team. In the meantime, the app is still available on Google Play Store.
