2014 global release of eight important software

Source: Internet
Author: User

We combed through the many software released in 2014 to sift through eight of the more powerful products that will continue to last until 2015 or even longer.

1. Facebook Messenger

Reasons for inclusion:
Facebook Mobile client app, which builds up Facebook's complete information interaction system.

Now, when you're using your smartphone or tablet to send messages or chat to Facebook friends, you can't actually go through Facebook's main client-but you have to use another separate app. This has plagued many Facebook users (including those who refuse to install Facebook apps), but the Internet tycoon has not shown any signs of compromise. At first glance, Facebbook developers are doing this to simplify mainstream app functionality, but look more like they want their services to be higher than the mainstream messaging app.

2. Cortana

Reasons for inclusion:
Microsoft's personal voice Assistant for its OS platform.

As a personalized feature of Windows Phone 8.1, like Google Now and Siri, Cortana supports voice retrieval on a user's device. In addition, Cortana also supports command operations, such as sending messages, and it also supports automatic push-to-date information about users, such as flight information, local weather information, or traffic conditions. The most exciting thing is that Cortana is likely to be embedded in Windows 10. If this happens, it will compete directly with Google Now, as Google has embedded its personal voice assistant in the Chorme version of Windows.

3. The application of Netflix in Linux (unofficial)

Reasons for inclusion:
Realize the digital Rights Protection video service on Linux watch.

Netflix can be viewed on Linux, although it's not officially produced. We found that users can enjoy video services on several established open source systems (such as Arch, Gentoo, Ubuntu) through the latest Linux browsers released by Google. This is because the browser embeds a decoder for digital rights-protected video.

4. Android apps run on Chrome OS (and Chrome browser)

Reasons for inclusion:
The app can run on Android or Chorme.

Google has released apps that are compatible with both Android and Chorme systems. Based on this, hackers are starting to plan how to make other Android apps run in Chrome, and even provide Android users with the tools to see if their favorite Android apps can run on Chorme (many apps don't). It's not clear how many attempts are needed to make Android apps run in Chrome os/chrome, but this is definitely a cool technological innovation.

5. IOS 8

Reasons for inclusion:
Since the date of the update, the new iOS system bug has plagued the iphone and ipad users.

In normal terms, an OS version update is no longer on the list, but iOS 8 has its unfortunate reason for it: there are too many bugs in the first and second updates to make the old iphone and ipad even iPhone6 users a lot of mistakes. It is in this way that the new OS system was released one months after the release, and still more than half of the people were not in the version update, these users to avoid the same similar errors intentionally late more.

6. Photoshop's application on Chormebook

Reasons for inclusion:
Photoshop is used online.

This industry-standard picture processing software is intended for use on Chormbook, but is only available to students, other users who use Chormebook, and those with the Adobe Creative Cloud Training license. In addition, the list is also because Photoshop, like other online apps, can be used on other major web browsers and ignores the operating system (including Linux). The hope is whether the software will be able to meet with the public in 2015.

7. Windouws 10 Technical Preview version

Reasons for inclusion:
Microsoft wants users to make comments and suggestions for next-generation windows.

Windows 10 is not officially released until the end of 2015, but Microsoft allows the public to download and try out the first beta version for free. To our attention, the Windows 10 Preview incorporates a feedback tool that encourages users to tell Microsoft what features to add or where to improve in the next generation of operating systems. Microsoft is actively moving to avoid negative feedback from the public about the operating system.

8. Apple Pay

Reasons for inclusion:
Apple pay is probably the last piece of the puzzle to make the wallet popular.

Apple seems to have the best way to introduce users to their wallet apps. NFC-based Apple Pay uses a simple UI with a skeuomorphic look that allows Iphone6,iphone 6 Plus,ipad Air 2 or IPad Mini 3 users to operate as easily as a real credit card (perhaps a little too simple?). )。 The software is embedded in the main banking institutions (e.g. Bank of America, Chase, Citi) and the three major credit card companies (American Express, MasterCard, VISA) personal account interface. In addition, Apple Pay also allows you to shop at physical stores in several major retailers.
