Windows 10 removed speccy today... - Windows 10, 8, 7, XP etc.

Windows 10 removed Speccy today and when I clicked the notification it took me to a webpage listing alternative security applications that are compatible with Windows 10. While I find it strange that it removed Speccy, after reading the text I noticed what I think is was a poorly executed edit and I was curious if anyone else has seen this and if it's even a "oops" or is my brain not comprehending something lol.

Here is work for developers

I found 2 programs on the web, and they can be usefull for further development.
First program is called "dynamo", when it is started it show all open application on one single screen. Windows Vista and Apple OSX haveboth the same feature and it looks nice on a PDA.
Here is a screenshot when the program is running an the opened applications are shown:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
In the attachment is the program.
The second program is even more interesting, but still very basic and complete useless at this moment. The program has the ability to change to another screen in an animated way, flipping, sliding, etc.
In the attachements is a demo and it think( !!!!) the sourcecode. I am not a developer, so please excuse me if I am wrong or show up with something old.
Both apps are from Aspecto Software www.aspecto-software.com

Android quick search box 2.0

Please forgive me if this has been brought up. I tried searching, but searching for the word search is a nightmare. Just wondering why Fresh and Damage's roms quick search box does not pull up web suggestions like in this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Suc2KGCBkXI
I have it enabled, it finds my apps and contacts fine, but never pulls anything from the web.
My guess is I'm the only one it's not working for. Here is a screen shot so you don't need to watch the video.

YAY! I got it to work on Fresh 2.0b2. Wonder why I was the only one that it was broken for.

Came across that while trying to fix something else, this goes hand in hand with the WP7 device integration or Skype integration, whichever tile that was. Were there any other blatant hints?
EDIT: The Apple site you see behind there has an Android section so they're cool, no need for attacks.
Umm, that's in Windows 7 too.. For Skype etc.

Never seen it in Windows 7. if it is, then the Phone tile isn't news.
Yea it's in win7.
Just right click on the speaker icon in the little "notification bar", select something.
And then you've got the same settings as in your screenshot.
Yup that is Windows 7 too. It basically lowers down volume of all applications when you have for example skype call. I have skype almost all the time, so i had to turn it off

This is just the basic idea but at least it is a begining and it's something developers can ground their ideas on^^
But yeah what do you think?
I can have a go at it, I just need the Visual studio for w8 on my MBP, not the iso-install file, the exe-standalone, if you can get that and give me a link I will have the app done in about (at most) 4 hours
VS 11 is here http://downloads.msdn.microsoft.com..._=1323586979_82a2d3a5a6869610a2b431ddbcef4166
The link is not working
**EDIT**
Found a link, will start working on it tonight
Anyone still working on this?

I was until W8 did BSOD all the time I wanted to do something.

Recently started getting weird gradient in most apps

Can close the thread. Still don't know why it happened but a restart fixed it.
-----------
Is this a known thing? I first noticed it in the Google Messenger app but it seems to have spread to most apps. I'm running stock (MPH24.49-18) without root on Verizon.
Included Tapatalk screen as an example, can barely read the recent changes block in the play store due to the gradient.

Ok, that's really strange. Phone had been running for 400+ hours so I went ahead and restarted it. Now everything looks fine again... even the screenshot I attached to this post.
