Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

Some Windows 8 features

Some Windows 8 features

The most talked-about feature of Windows 8 is the Metro interface. Designed for touchscreen and tablet computers, and built to use HTML5 and CSS3, Metro connects to Internet applications such as Skydrive and Flickr.

However, in addition to the Metro interface, there are other features of the Windows 8 operating system that are very important.

The first thing you will surely notice is the faster startup of the operating system. Starting the operating system has long been very problematic for Microsoft, so for Windows 7, it took a full 90 seconds for the computer to fully function.

Another important feature is reset and refresh.

The past few versions of Windows have had the option to build the operating system from parts if it crashes and revert to the default installation. However, these steps were quite complex and it paid off for many to reinstall the complete operating system.

The next important option is Windows to Go, which means that Windows is starting to turn more to tablets, netbooks, or devices that are constantly on the move for users. Also, the idea for Windows 8 is that the user can locally install Windows 8 on a thumb drive, applications, and everything else. It is then possible to plug that thumb drive into another computer and have a fully functional operating system.

Next is the Windows Store, which is integrated with Windows 8 and will present Microsoft's version of the Apple App Store. It is a feature that allows people to find, buy and install Microsoft-approved applications for the OS. One of the good features of this option is that free trial versions are offered for many applications or games.

We're coming to the Ribbon interface.

A few years ago, Microsoft shocked everyone by completely redesigning the interface of the popular Office 2007 application, replacing the popular and familiar menu and toolbar system with something called Ribbon. Ribbon will now find its place within Windows 8. It will be available under Windows Explorer which provides an easy way to check file attributes and sort files.

The next important option is Wi-Fi direct support. Like Android 4.0 and Windows 8, it supports WiFi Direct.

This p2p technology uses a standard 802.11n WiFi signal for network transmission over short distances, but without the need for a router.

Samsung puts a camera under the screen - Notch is not needed!

Notch is the biggest flaw of smartphones today - period. For the vast majority of users, this is the main reason why they do not buy a phone, as well as for me. But Samsung has found a solution. True, Notch is only a transitional solution until companies find a way to place all the components on the front under the screen. Users demanded bigger and bigger screens, and smaller and smaller phones, so Notch was the only solution. Although it is present in many smartphones today, it is not generally accepted. Moreover, it is considered a flaw . Of course, the phone manufacturers told the story and tried to convince the users that Notch was ok, and many accepted that, and the others can't wait for that era to pass.
