HP tipped to be develop US$199 Windows-based laptop

Microsoft wants to make sure it can take on Google’s Chromebooks and looks like HP is going to help them. A leaked document showed details about a laptop called HP Stream 14. The US$199 device will reportedly be equipped with a low-powered AMD A4 Micro processor, 2GB RAM, 32GB flash storage, and a 14-inch 1366x768 resolution screen. If you want one carrying an A10 Micro ship, 1080p touchscreen display, and 64GB of space, then you will have to shell out a bit more.

HP will also be offering 100GB OneDrive storage for two years for those who will buy this device. There isn’t any official word yet when the Stream will come out but we’re sure we are not far off from seeing this out in the wild soon.

Twitter will fill your timeline with people you don’t know

A few users have noticed it in the past few weeks that tweets from people they don’t know have started to crop up on their timeline. Now, it would seem to be an official policy that Twitter will be showing you tweets you haven’t really asked for. It would seem Twitter already updated its FAQ section to make it clear that you won’t just be getting tweets from people you follow. It is basically like the sponsored or promoted tweets you have been seeing on your timeline but without anyone being paid.

This is the section Quartz is pointing out about this policy: “Additionally, when we identify a Tweet, an account to follow, or other content that's popular or relevant, we may add it to your timeline. This means you will sometimes see Tweets from accounts you don't follow. We select each Tweet using a variety of signals, including how popular it is and how people in your network are interacting with it. Our goal is to make your home timeline even more relevant and interesting.”
