Microsoft Build 2016, important new features coming to the Live Tiles

"The Live Tiles are evolving with two surprises in great demand and unmissable". It reads part of the description of "What's New for Tiles and Toast Notifications" which will start on April 1 next part of waiting Conference Build 2016, event organized by Microsoft and designed to ecosystem Windows developers often exploited from Redmond to present news concerning his entire line of products and services.

The Live Tiles, as always, are one of the main distinguishing features of the operating systems Windows 10 and Windows Mobile 8.1 / 10. Elements that have sought to overcome the traditional boundaries of static icons of iOS and widget of the Android operating system, offering a solution that, like it or not, continues to have its own specific identity. It is unclear at the moment how it will evolve the element that allows you to use a structured interface in the now well-known animated frames.

You can only make hypotheses about it, retracing the long trail of rumors, alternating with official material, which suggests what could be the development path of the Live Tiles by Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile. A possible reference should be to so-called interactive Live Tiles, passed in the past the headlines thanks to places research projects in place by Microsoft in the past years.

Unlike current static Live Tiles that offer the option to display only the information, the new boxes allow you to interact with the app connected to the frame. For example, the calendar app could allow the insertion of an appointment via the corresponding tile, the alarm clock app to set an alarm and an app dedicated to the management of multimedia content to control the reproduction of the same.

And 'correct to specify that this is speculation waiting for official confirmation. To receive it, simply wait a few more days. Appreciable, in the first instance, Microsoft's will aim to bolster one of the most popular and characteristic elements of the mobile platform and the latest Windows release.

We will not fail to bring the main novelty of the three days dedicated to the Windows world, starting tomorrow March 30.

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...
