Canadian made Facts of Life App now available for iPad

 

The Facts Of Life is a new application designed to help parents answer difficult questions their children may have about Sexual Health.
Sexual Education can be a very confusing and a hard topic to breach. This app will help parents and children discuss sexual education in a fun, wholesome, and appropriate way.
The app was launched by a well known Registered Psychologist, Dr. Jillian Roberts, who specializes in Child and Adolescent Psychology. She has helped support the psycho-social development of hundreds children in her
psychological practice in Victoria BC, Canada. Dr. Roberts is not only a psychologist, but also the devoted mother of three children.
As with most parents, she wants her children’s knowledge to come from her - not from classmates, TV, or the Internet. And this is why Dr. Roberts decided to invent this one of its kind Sexual Education App for children; the appis age appropriate with “just enough” information for your kids to understand Sexual Health.

Gmail bids old full-screen compose window goodbye

Whether you like it or not, the new compose window for Gmail is here to stay. Google announced in a Google+ post that the compose window is finally rolling out to everyone and the old full-screen compose window is out the door (or should it be out the window?).

But you can still get the full-screen experience when writing your emails. You just need to click on the expand button at the top right of the new compose window and set that as default by clicking “Default to full-screen” in the More options menu at the bottom right corner of the window.

Microsoft wants you to gear up for Windows 8.1 release

The folks at Redmond want you to mark your calendars for the worldwide release of Windows 8.1. Windows 8 users will be receiving it as a free update through the Windows Store on October 17 and the retail release is set for the next day, October 18—just a few days shy of the one-year anniversary of the operating system (October 26).

Microsoft promises new features and the return of the Start button with the OS update. Supposedly, it’ll have better integration between the desktop and Start screen to minimize the jarring effect of the two interfaces. They have also improved Internet Explorer 11, cloud connectivity with SkyDrive, search capabilities, and Windows Store experience, among others.
