How to undo iOS 10’s most annoying feature

The new software of iOS 10 has got much hype in the market. It is the box of refreshments features that enhances the existing app of Apple. Few modifications may impact the principals of Appstore functionality. For instance, the feature of new lock screen Apple’s latest iOS software is much loved by everybody, but this gesture is widely criticized.


It is often heard that Apple changes its feature according to the user’s review. The company made a change in its iOS 10 beta 2 to address the issue. But after switching back to the original version, people think that they got it perfect for the first time.

In this new feature of iOS 10, Apple made a change to “slide to unlock” feature so that the user actually has to press the home button in order to unlock the phone. When the Touch ID came into existence, company permitted the users to unlock their iPhones and iPads by just touching the home button. A quick fingerprint scan later, and the phone was unlocked and ready to go.

As users are very much angry and has got a much negative review, it is named as iOS 10’s most annoying feature. There is also a change in the speed bumps of the user as they are very much used to the before process following the years of repetition.

With the touch-to-unlock feature enabled, the iPhone unlocks as the user picks up the phone before the lock screen is even visible since the thumb of the user is on the home button. Now with this new feature, the iPhone is alert automatically when you pick it up, and hence at that time the lock screen is visible and user needs to press the home button to unlock it.

Reporters revealed that Apple though they had made a mistake by developing this feature. In the Public Beta 2 of iOS 10, Touch ID seems that it would work similar to iOS9.

Check out the setting option in iOS, the name you are looking for will be “Rest finger to Open” and this can be found under Settings > General > Accessibility > Home Button.

Microsoft will put the Spotlight on SharePoint at Ignite

Microsoft revealed its plan in Ignite conference to showcase the new SharePoint framework that was available in May with minor changes of SharePoint 2016. Additionally, the company also released the final version of Windows Server 2016 and System Centre 2016.


The Vice President of Microsoft SharePoint and OneDrive - Jeff Taper disclosed the agenda on how the things are going to work at the Office 365 Developer Podcast. The whole scenario of the speech was the release of the “Feature Packs” of SharePoint 2016 which was already announced previously and also regarding the revamping of User Interface of SharePoint based on JavaScript. It was also revealed that Microsoft is looking to hold 60 technical sessions focusing on the fresh features of SharePoint and Office 365, which share the common framework.


The second Ignite conference 2016 of Microsoft is scheduled on 26th September in Atlanta, GA. This is the largest technical conference with the over 20,000 attendees’ consisting of IT executives, administrators, operation managers, and developers. The previous year in the ignite conference, Microsoft focused on SharePoint light but this year, company centers on noteworthy things about SharePoint. Due to the less attention on SharePoint – focused content at the inaugural Ignite conference, led many people to think that, Microsoft was trying to downplay its flagship platform, and led the questions over Microsoft’s commitments to on-premise SharePoint releases. Taper who is the grandfather of SharePoint gave the best answers to this criticisms.

Taper also highlighted the new features of the SharePoint regarding the PowerApps and Flow tools, outlandish UI, SharePoint Framework. This would enable the rendering engines of JavaScript with the support for the modern languages. He also asked people to have a glance on the new pages of SharePoint UI to know what it holds in the near future.

The amazing thing about SharePoint framework is that it is the open source tool delivering the renderings for JavaScript and also, it is integrated with the Microsoft Graph. Because of this, SharePoint would give the user a much high appearance with the great look and feel, which is optimized for mobile devices. Microsoft is also looking to enable the developers by using the supporting JavaScript and popular environments like Go and Swift to embrace the platform.

Since 2003, the changes in the SharePoint from the architectural perspective is the most significant. Due to this, Taper is quite hopeful in the coming year for the new developers in the SharePoint ecosystem, open source community, cloud natives, and container-based apps. Simultaneously, the largest existing SharePoint community would find the feature packs quite appealing.

The new phase for the SharePoint 2016 would be extremely great with the simple user experience and also having the extensibility model. The core goal of the company is for the developers to use the SharePoint and feel welcome to the party. This was the way to grow the community in the forward-looking architecture.

Choose a software development company that best meets business requirements

If the software that a company or business uses is outdated, no longer fit the purpose and inefficient, it may be time to seek the services of a new software development company. The development could not happen without clearly defined and well-structured sets of business software requirements, as the work in essence is a process of meeting needs and resolving problems. Consequently, the development of the success would greatly depend on the effort and time one dedicates to the process.


Software development companies are abundant as IT continues to be a growing industry in the area. When it comes to choosing the right one, the following are some tips that could help out.

1. Technical excellenceThis is certainly vital to ensure good service from the partnership and crucial to ascertain that the product is exactly what the organization needs. Innovation is another factor to consider, such as if the program development company is up with the very latest development and pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

2. Business acumen
Any partnership in business requires a similarly capable service provider to benefit without major drawbacks. Choose a software development company that has good business brain, wherein the latest developments in customer service are integrated into the business model and the staff is well looked after and very productive.

3. Commitment
Nothing is worse than finding a freeware service vendor that seems appropriate only to discover that the service delivery is just not there. Commitment to the clientele and the projects is highly important for any software vendor, especially if the project is likely to be complicated or a bit out-of-the-box.

4. Efficiency
While an organization may have the best plan in place for developing software, with a timeline and goals, but if the vendor does not efficiently perform then all this is going to go down the drain. This has implications not just with respect to timing but the costs as well. The longer a project takes time to finish, the more inefficiently it is handled, the more the final cost would be much higher.

5. Flexibility
This would be more important for some projects. If the task requirements depend on integration with other software or hardware pieces designed by other vendors, a flexible approach may be needed to achieve thorough compatibility. A broad skill set and knowledge would help as well as experience on a wide range of projects.

6. Stability
If there is a need for ongoing support for the software or for further development in future, a company would want to get in touch with the same vendor again to quote for it. It is necessary to assess the financial standing of the firm.

In truth, it isn't hard to choose the right software development company or vendor among the hundreds of service providers worldwide as long as one has done thorough research and evaluation. A company with CMMI certification, focus on technical excellence, standard processes and expert software developer team and commitment to the clientele, will outshine lesser vendors and service providers each time.

For the best medical care and optimized performance, they have realized the value of Big Data and bending of the cost curve. Data density is exploding on every passing day. Past experience shows that numerous data were born in past few years than in entire carnality.


The sole aim for the Big Data is to help the healthcare system with its innovative techniques in structured and unstructured data and help the organization to improve quality, reduce cost and provide the best medical care. Many organizations already have high data resources, but they need to develop the practices, capabilities to get most out of these assets. Big Data is helping the world to make one better place.

Reducing Cost

Big Data is the prime tool of cost-cutting in the health-care industry. Data Science helps in getting up to the mark analytics, insights as it has the super power tool to analyze the boundless amount of data. Doctors always find different ways of improving medical care, properly medicated treatment, and much more. With the use of Big Data, one can find out the figures regarding the highness of care to the patient and cost of treatment, which also results into more life-saving. The most cost-worthy treatment is given much priority and specific ailments are identified. This reduces the number of unnecessary treatments. However, sudden care delivery means the doctor must be spontaneous in decision making. Doctors can now more accurately diagnose the patient and give the best ailments possible by checking the trends in their small cells.

Quality Care

When it comes to a patient, first thought comes to mind is treatment. To ensure best quality care is given to the patient, big data plays a very keen role in increasing quality care all time.

Now many hospitals, as well as medical organizations, are realizing to think ahead of physical remedy. They are using the big data as their power hand to analyze the patient condition and their experience.

For instance, one of the renowned health clinic in the USA, surveyed the analysis of what are the general expectations of patients in a clinic. And this surveyed turned out the enormous as patients gave the varied response of their wants, behavior of their staff and other necessary insights. Getting these type of insights, always turned out to be effective as the staffs and doctors become conscious on improving the nature of their organizations. Today there are several platforms available, by which general analytic can be done.

Security Measures

Hackers who are aware of medical records can easily hack the information contained in an organization. With this risk, it might seem to be an obstacle to taking the advantage of big data. But for the each new feed, there is advance security that ensures that no data theft occurs. Because of the boundless security, organizations can take the benefits of unbounded probabilities of big data. In recent year world have found the protections of security by encryption technology, firewalls, anti-virus and much more. To gain the full-fledged assistance of big data, the industry must take care of safety and security in terms of healthcare.

Quick Service

One of the jaw-dropping advantages of these advanced technologies is that it offers handy services to the patients. This is the greatest strength of data science, that it offers the solution from the existing data and provide the patients what is relevant to them. There are millions of medical application, that helps the patients to answer their query and apart from this, it also enables the patients to connect with the appropriate doctor for regular checkups and tests. The real adventure of big data is to transfer the laborious task into simple one man manageable task. In case of any serious situation, virtual presence can solve the issues which make a difference in real-time

Audit patient's important to sign

Healthcare industries are always engaged in improving patient's care and for this, they generally monitor patient's vital sign. They get the monitored data from the different platform and this helps in setting alerts for the nurse, doctors, ward boys for the emergency checkups and various tests so that they instantly come to know patient's condition.

As the healthcare industries advance in data and analytics, there is a giant positive revolution. Today big data in health care industry is still lacking behind compared to finance, marketing, and sports.

Microsoft cancelled the idea of developing 3D touch Windows

In 2014, Microsoft introduced the idea of developing its own different kind of 3D Touch feature for its Windows Phone. During the examining of exclusively detailed 3D Touch and McLaren prototype device, Microsoft decided to cancel its idea and encouraged the team members to put the core focus on emergence of Windows 10 for mobiles. McLaren was accessible for windows central and it was revealed that, it is the mixture of Nokia’s Lumia 1020 and Lumia 925. Previously, camera bump was leaked and it was reported that, it was highly similar to iPhone.
The most interesting thing about McLaren without a doubt was its 3D touch features. It was experimenting with the features like user can hover over the display with a finger and interact with the apps. Additional integrated features included were, it can enable the ability to answer the calls by holding the phone to your ear, options to do the phone on speaker by just keeping down the table and hanging the phone by keeping it inside the pocket. Windows central checked out the entire device, by elaborating its minute details like 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, 5.5-inch full HD display, and the 20-megapixel camera.

Windows central, by studying the details of the McLaren it revealed that, some gestures were very buggy and clinch to use. Although several developers and end users of Microsoft had been indulged in doing the beta testing of the device but due to some negative feedback, company didn’t think forward in delivering the 3D touch windows phone and cancelled the idea and put the project development on hold. Microsoft might work in future to develop the 3D Touch features in Windows – powered phone.

Big Data is a key to fight against cancer

In comments at an oncology tradition in Chicago this week, the Vice President of US Joe Biden conveyed a message of open information and interdisciplinary coordinated effort as keys in the quest for better disease determination and treatment.


Biden took the event to declare people in general accessibility of the Genomic Data Commons, a storehouse of the anonymized genomic and clinical information of somewhere in the range of 12,000 malignancy patients that will open the entryway for scientists to break down an expansive gathering of tumor genome successions.

"It is our trust that Genomic Data Commons will demonstrate vital in propelling accuracy prescription, where doctors endeavor to tailored therapies to particular qualities from a specific patient's malignancy," Biden said. "Our point and the point of Genomic Data Commons is for scientists to have data readily available about the relationship between variations from the norm or changes of qualities and clinical results."

Biden's declaration is the most recent stride forward in the alleged tumor moonshot activity that he is leading, a push to accomplish 10 years of advancement in averting, conclusion and treating disease inside five years.

In some ways, that exertion parallels other organization projects, for example, the progressing work to free up government information, making it openly accessible and placing it in searchable, institutionalized and machine-meaningful configurations so that designers, scientists, business people and others can gather new bits of knowledge and create novel applications around it.

Biden says the same ethos will go to the Genomic Data Commons, which expects to present information in a searchable arrangement joined by Web-based representation instruments and intuitive elements that will empower analysts to store, dissect and share data from the database.

That exertion, which Biden trusts will keep on growing as more individuals from the growth research group share their own information, is a noteworthy takeoff for the National Cancer Institute, which has attempted to unite dissimilar information sets that, taken in total, could be an aid for researchers and specialists.

"In view of new DNA sequencing innovation we've possessed the capacity to quickly create boundless troves of tumor information, genomic information, yet the data [is] scattered among various government and scholarly archives," Biden said. "A large portion of it is out of the span of researchers. We're bringing it into one spot."

Biden needs to see that same soul of separating hindrances between soloed datasets pick up footing in the restorative and examination groups, a framework that he says is "still in light of the clique of the person" where again and again specialists neglect to work together.

"What's required today broadens past any individual or individual order, past solution itself," Biden said. "We need to utilize each weapon available to us in case we're going to meet our objective, help patients significantly more than you are as of now helping them today.

Furthermore, to be completely forthright with you, it requires to some degree an adjustment in mentality, requires significantly more openness, open information, open coordinated effort, or more all receptive outlooks."
