Several Note 7 users switch to the Iphone – 99mac

According to figures from IDC, approximately half of Note 7-users switched to Apple’s Iphone, but the study only consists of 24 persons.

Earlier in the month recalled #Samsung its stricken mobile phone #Galaxy Note 7, following a number of reported cases where the phone overheating. Profits for Samsung’s mobildivision plummeted as a result of 30%, customers who purchased a Note 7 have been offered money back or change to another telephone.

the analyst firm IDC conducted a survey where Note 7-the owner asked which mobile phone they changed to. The survey was conducted online, and a total of asked 1 082 american consumers. Only 24 of the respondents, however, had a Note 7, so it is difficult to draw any secure conclusions of the study. Half of the respondents said that they had chosen or intend to choose an Iphone instead of its Note 7. Seventeen percent (about 4 pieces) said they would choose another Samsung phone.

A majority of respondents also stated that they would return their Note 7 in a store instead of mailing it, and most stated that the problems with the Note 7 would not affect future decisions to buy other Samsung products.

The new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar – all you need to know – DesignWorld

Apple introduced the next-generation MacBook Pro. It is the lightest and thinnest series of Macbook Pro computers that the company ever produced. One of the greatest innovations is the Touch Bar, a secondary interface that replaces the top row of function keys with a multi-touch retina display.

It is now four years since the last Macbook Pro series with Retina display was introduced by Apple. No major updates of the computers have taken place since then, but in the week it was revealed three new models.

This week represents the 25th anniversary of Apple’s first portable computer; through the years, each generation introduced new innovations and opportunities, and it is fitting that the new generation of MacBook Pro is the greatest advancement until now, ” says Philip Schiller, senior Vice President of global marketing at Apple.

During the press conference revealed no news for the popular datorserien Macbook Air. It is a sign that the model will not be with the future. It has instead released a cheaper variant of the Pro, but the new Touch Bar function.

New ways to navigate with the Touch Bar

Apple has said that replaced the top row of the keyboard, with a touch-screen in the retina. This way, you can create custom navigation buttons for the different kinds of apps and programs. Touch Bar can show all from the drop and favorites in Safari, to the emojis in messenger. It also facilitates the use of editing software for photos and video.

the Site Cult of Mac has revealed that the new Touch Bar will be powered by a modified version of Apple’s iOS. It is the same operating system that powers Apple’s watch, i.e. the Watch OS. The advantage of having a separate operating system for the navigation, is that it can be activated when the rest of the computer and the Mac OS is turned off.

other news is the Touch ID, which will be launched for the Mac in connection with the Touch Bar. The technology has been around for a while on the iPhone and iPad, but will now for the first time to the Macbook Pro. Touch ID allows inter alia simple purchase and unlocking of the computer, by fingeravtrycksläsning.

the Thinnest and lightest Macbook Pro model ever

The who previously preferred the Macbook Air, will not be disappointed. The new Macbook Pro is both thinner and lighter than previous models. A rigid unibody design of the aluminum that is tightly packed with all the technology.

the Model with 13-inch display is 17 percent thinner (14.9 mm) and has a volume that is 23% smaller than the previous generation Macbook Pro. The model with 15-inch screen is 14% thinner (15.5 mm) and has 20 percent less volume than the previous generation. Both models weigh approximately 230 grams less than in the past.

Latest technology and new colorful screen

in Addition to the Touch Bar is the new Macbook Pro is packed to the brim with the latest technology and have a larger Force Touch trackpad. Apple has also included a new colourful display, which delivers 67% more contrast than the previous generation monitors. It is just a 0,88 mm thick draws 30% less energy than previous monitors.

All models have been updated with new graphics, and lightning-fast solid-state drives and memory cards. This has meant that the graphics performance is 2.3 times faster than in the past. The new Macbook Pro also uses seventh-generation processors, dual-core i5 and quad-core i7 with eDRAM. Apple has also updated the thermodynamic architecture, to fit a thinner design.

New Macbook Pro can have up to four Thunderbolt 3 ports, with both data transmission and charging through the same port. Users can thus connect a large retina display with 5K resolution and run it through the same port.

Therefore, you can’t buy more than 16 gigabytes of memory in the new Macbook Pro – MacWorld

Memory in the new Macbook Pro


With the Skylake processors, it was quite possible for Apple to offer the new Macbook Pro with 32 or even 64 gigabytes of memory without taking up too much more space on the motherboard. Therefore, many proffsanvändare surprised on Thursday when Apple introduced the computer and still only offers 16 gigabytes.

A user e-mailed Phil Schiller, and asked what it is about, and actually got a response:

– To stop in more than 16 gigabytes of memory in a portable design today would require a memory system that draws much more power and would not be effective enough for a laptop.

Both 13-inch and 15-inch model of the new Macbook Pro may according to Apple, 10 hours of battery life, and an option of 32 or 64 gigabytes would therefore, according to Schiller pull down on it quite a lot.

this is something Apple has pointed out as regards memory in the Iphone and Ipad also. Internal memory must be constantly "on" and the costs so to have more memory.

But the difference between an Iphone and a Macbook Pro is at the same time very big and a disappearance of the large majority of those who actually use a Macbook Pro in the job is more or less constantly connected to the external power source. Even on the train and plane are today often the wall outlet and at home, in the office and out at the coffee shop or the like, there are guaranteed.

One step closer to Skynet? Google’s AI built your own encryption – IDG.see

Alice, Bob and Eve. Sounds the nicer types than Terminatorfilmernas Skynet? But don’t be fooled by their maximum ordinary name. Of the three is actually the neural network that is entirely at your own hand succeeded in developing an encryption method.

There is a researcher from Google’s djupinlärningsprojekt, Google Brain, which allowed the three ai systems to beat her wise, albeit digital, heads together. We already know that the researchers "trained" artificial intelligence to the artists. But this is something else, and that can seem much more daunting.

also Read: Google’s robotkompositör has released his first song and it is not so good

The three ai members were allocated different tasks. Alice could send a secret message to Bob, which only he could take part of. Eve’s mission was to try to eavesdrop and decode the message. The whole experiment can be compared a bit with the three students who share their notes before an exam.

And the results shows that computers are really good at keeping a secret. The three have learned how they can protect messages from eavesdroppers who want to snoop. Without having to learn any specific encryption algorithm, could the computers develop their own encryption, with the help of machine learning, writes New Scientist.

Alice began by making a plain text to a perfect gibberish, which Bob was able to read by using a chiffernyckel. First it went a little si like that of the two, Eve can be listed quickly right out what they said. But after about 15 000 attempts succeeded Alice develop an encryption strategy that Bob could lock up without Eve picked up the information. Although the message is not more than 16 bits long, 1 and 0, so basically could Eve random guess to each part and still get a decent result. But it is still the first time, the neural network succeeds completely on their own.

also Read: Google’s new AI can teach itself up – without the help of mankind

Scientists do not know exactly how the encryption method works. Machine learning provides a solution, however, presents not an explanation. Which also means that they can not guarantee the security of an encryption created by artificial intelligence. Thus, also limits the uses.

Hence, may possibly troubled souls feel calm, for so long as the teach the machines do not start talking with each other in secret.

3 things that stand out with Microsoft’s new gadgets – New Technology

Vr-helmets, a new laptop and a powerful desktop computer. Here are three things that caused us to raise eyebrows after Microsoft’s lanseringsjippo in the week.

Vr without wires

Virtual reality is a technology which is expected to have a major impact in the next few years. Now gives to Microsoft in the fight against, for example, Facebookägda Oculus by launching a completely new series of vr-helmets.

A detail that may be Microsoft’s solution to stand out against its competitors is that the helmets are equipped with built-in spårningssensorer – unlike, for example, HTC’s Vive, which must be connected together with external cameras that use lasers to track how the helmet carrier is moving in the room.

the Helmets, which will have a starting price at the equivalent of 2700 euros, is also completely self contained, which means that they do not need to be connected with a computer or mobile device.

Sustainable in the box

It has now been a year since Microsoft showed up the notebook Surface Book. Now comes the sequel, dubbed the Surface Book i7. Battery life is a crucial factor for laptops, and according to Microsoft’s pr department, new Surface Book i7 be able to be used for 16 hours on a single charge. If the computer is able to deliver on that promise remains to be seen. Microsoft’s new laptop will cost the equivalent of about 21 400 sek and is released in november.

Computer with super-thin touch screen

the big news on Wednesday’s lanseringsjippo was Surface Studio Pro, which will be Microsoft’s first desktopdator. The new computer will be shipped with a 28-inch 4k touch-screen (with a minimum resolution 3,840 x 2,160 pixels), which only is 1.25 inch thick, making it significantly thinner, for example, is competitor the Imac from Apple. Microsoft also launched an interesting accessory to the computer, called the Surface Dial. Basically, it is a kind of puckformat tools that can be placed on the large touch screen, and by then the “screw” on the puck, the user can zoom in images, for example.

Surface Studio Pro will come with Intel Core i7 or i5 processors, 32 gigabytes of ram, 2 terabytes of storage capacity and Windows 10 installed. The price tag clearly shows that it is not personal computer designed for all – the cheapest Surface Studio Pro is expected to cost the equivalent of 26 7000 sek.

We rub on the Surface Studio: A Windows-pc to Mac-the audience – PC for All

Microsoft’s Surface Studio attack a territory once held by Apple, where they combine elegant design with a massive, impressive screen and a straightforward price tag. We got the chance to test the company’s first own desktop pc after it was announced yesterday. Here’s what stood out:

Even if the specifications are not really located in the top, I felt the computer fast and responsive. In the basic package of 2 999 dollars (about 26 700 tapers) included a sixth generation (Skylake) Core i5 processor, Nvidia Georce GTX 965M 2GB GPU, a 1TB hybridhårdisk and 8GB in RAM.

The more expensive model costs 4 199 u.s. dollars (about 37 400 sek), and consists of a 6th-generation Core i7, 32GB of RAM and a GTX980M GPU, along with 2TB of storage.

The amazing screen will catch your attention instantly. Photo: Mark Hachman.

What we like the most with the Surface Studio is how it turns, literally, from a simple workstation to an easel for artistic creation. A couple of hinges, lift gracefully the massive 28-inch 4500×3000 Pixelsense screen from an almost vertical position more than 20 degrees from lying horizontally.

the screen Itself offers Adobe sRGB and DCI-P3s color settings, individually färgkalibrerade. If there is any drawback it is that the screen lacks any other form of positioning capabilities. There is no way to raise it higher up, if you don’t put a book during the course.

Although the Surface Studio is designed for creativity so we discovered a pleasing aspect for the productive: In the monitor mode so the screen was large and detailed enough to allow a lock down of four windows in each corner. Sure, it’s something you can do on any screen connected to a Windows 10 pc, but the Studio-the screen’s enormous size makes this practically possible without some visual compromises come in the way.

Surface Studio comes with a standard Surface-pen and updated Microsoft Sculpt mouse and keyboard, wrapped in the Surface shades of gray. We are reluctant to face the accessories (you can certainly replace them with your own). The mouse felt flat and we had hoped that the keyboard would remind more of it to Surface Book rather than the chiclet-feel of the detachable keyboard of the Surface. They both gave us the feeling of plastiga cup holder in a luxury car.

Dial, on the other hand, is more exciting. An optional accessory for 99 dollars (about sek 880), which improves the keyboard with quick and easy access to the shortcuts, packaged in something that looks like a hockey puck.

Even if the Studio does not include the modular functions as it was alluded to in the pantentansökan it has in all cases a 5-megapixel camera on the front and dual array microphones. To get started Windows 10′s Cortana-assistance ("Hey, Cortana!") with the voice functioning surprisingly well in the sorliga the showroom.

the Ports on the Surface Studio. Photo: Mark Hachman.


We are not sure if we like Microsoft’s decision to embed the outputs in the base rather than the screen. Microsoft took more or less its Surface Hub, and put together it with a usual motherboard, packaged it in plastic, and was satisfied. Studio press four USB 3.0 ports in the base, but they point towards the back, which probably makes it hard to even plug in anything.

There is an SD card reader and a headphone jack – both on the back. Unlike Surface-plates so there is no USB port on the side of the screen, which we lack. Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11 ac wi-fi round off the whole.

Studio is a wonderful piece of hardware and we are really looking forward to spending more time with it. But remember that it is not necessarily for everyone. Microsoft addressed clearly on the creative market, populated by people who normally would buy a Mac. It will be interesting to see how many that will actually switch.

90% yawn – the other jumps both his feet”

At every major Apple event is a bunch of spectators and keep our fingers crossed for a new Macbook Pro. It is namely so it has become. Macbook updates smygs in connection with the more grandiose launches of, say, the Iphone.

but maybe it is not so remarkable, do you think?

You might rather wonder what this "bunch" of spectators is, or if they even exist?

I tend myself to wonder, and wondered the face of this chronicle, if it was really worth to write about the Macbook Pro at all.

Apple notebooks the wires around in the table around the fourth-fifth place, after HP, Lenovo, Dell, and possibly Asus.

Not at all like the Iphone in Sweden have a steady majoritetsgrepp on the market.

But the "gang" talking much about it here, actually. A couple of photographers on this magazine are some of those who longed for a new splash of fish Mac computer in almost two years.

My brother, who works at a major musikstreamingstjänst, nag also that it should be time soon.

Everywhere, it shows that people are talking about it here with a Macbook Pro and have done so basically since the last launch in early 2015.

IBM’s choice – Apple Macbook Pro

There are also a bunch who obviously doesn’t care at all if the Macbook is updated or not.

They sit on the IBM.

They do not care for the buy Macbook Pro whether they are old or brand new.

IBM, which in the 80s was the company that made sure that Apple became a marginalprodukt for geeks and the stole for themselves is in principle the entire pc market, stands today behind the main Mac implementation ever.

It was in the beginning of 2015 (yes, at the same time as the recent Macbook Pro update) IBM began to offer its more than 400 000 employees Apple computers instead of pc machines. The idea was that 50 000 Mac of various kinds would be placed in the hands of willing deserters, but a little over a year later, that number was 90 000. Before 2016 is the end of the expected 100 000 Mac computers to be used within IBM’s organization.

the Reason is simple – it costs IBM much less money.

Not necessarily purchases, but in the service and repairs.

At the conference, Jamf, earlier this month IBM announced IBM’s Fletcher Previn to the computers saved the company 270 dollars – almost 2500 sek – per employee last year. Over the four years is said to figure to be between 2500 crowns and 4800 dollars depending on the model.

Previn – who apparently feel like the Macbook in the same way as the Swedish newspaper Expressen’s photographers – meant that employees with apple computers are calling half as many support calls that pc-users and is costing in total three times as little.

Now want the whole 73 per cent of the company’s workforce have a Mac as next computer.

Apple launched the Ipad Pro

It sounds almost like IBM is more excited about mac computers than Apple themselves.

the Launch – which it by all appearances is about in on Thursday – although on a private event where the Macbook Pro will play huvudrullen rather than just slink in under the guise of a new Iphone. But it is a small event where Apple not made an effort to invite a lot of media.

There is no wild gamble that Tim Cook expected a little extra with a new powerful laptop computer in the Pro series to not kanibalisera on the Ipad Pro, which the company wants to be able to replace a "real computer". It is a very conscious effort to move as many as possible of its users to Ios devices, which right now is the company’s most profitable segments.

But for a relatively large bunch of spectators is waiting on a new Macbook Pro, after all, will soon be over.

Digital – only the beginning of a new era” – New Technology

CHRONICLE. Recently, Apple released a new model of the Iphone, which immediately created a "want-have"feeling among many consumers.

In Sweden we are far ahead in terms of telecommunications and the youth of today are very comfortable with the tiles, smartphones, and other electronic equipment, far down in the ages.

In Sweden we have a 1.5 mobile phone subscriptions per capita, a figure that is extremely high if you compare with the rest of the world. Does this mean that we can anticipate an equally large impact of digitisation within the industry?

In Sweden, the accounting industry today for around 17% of our GDP and if we look at exporting businesses it accounts for over 75 per cent. Thus, we can conclude that the industry has been very great importance to our prosperity and to the digital impact in the industry will also be of great importance for the rest of our society.

Industry 4.0 or the "fourth industrial revolution", aimed at the smart, connected factory, was created in Germany, where the manufacturing sector accounts for approximately 29 per cent of GDP. A considerable high figure. After the steam engine, electricity and electronics, Germany thinks that it is Industry 4.0, which should be the next transformative factor of change that is required to strengthen and further develop the German industry. It is this fourth industrial revolution that will take the Swedish industry forward, and what it is we do to get there?

In the report, "the Digitization of Swedish industry"(Hauke Bossen and Johan Ingemansson), it is stated that the digital impact will vary between different branches of industry, for the automotive industry specifically, it will be transformative. We know what revolutionary means? Will it be as revolutionary for a subcontractor in the automotive industry each year the wait for new orders of the Iphone 7, or how will it look like?

Personally, I think we know as little about this as we knew what it really meant on the 9th January 2007 when Steve Jobs revealed the first-generation Iphone.

In The book "The Fourth Industrial Revolution" (Klaus Schwab 2016) he summarises the development as follows:

Speed: unlike the industry’s previous three forms of revolution is the current utvecklingshastighet exponential rather than linear. This is due to an already high uppkopplingsfaktor and that the new technology gives birth to even newer technology.

Width and depth: the Digitization leads not just to change the "what and how" without also changing "who we are".

Systeminverkan : The digital development involves the conversion of the whole system, across (and within) countries, companies, industries and society as a whole.

If we return to the beginning of today’s mobile phones – we in the industry are in the same stage as Steve Jobs on 9 January 2007. We do not yet know how the development will change the Swedish industry, even though we may have a view.

the Question is how and who should drive the development. We like to think that someone like Steve Jobs to present the Swedish Industry 4.0, but is now pushing our youngest employees on the development, there is soon a queue to the technical courses, and no hesitation anymore about the industry’s importance.

Microsoft presents Surface Studio – 99mac

First off, however, was an upgraded version of the portable 2-in-1-pc Surface Book that was introduced in the last year. Microsoft has based this year’s changes on feedback from customers, and speaking of customers lifted the company up to customer satisfaction with Surface Book indeed is higher than that of any Macbook model. The feedback from customers has mainly been about the playing kundskaran want faster imagery update, and the drawing in the CAD program to have less delay. Common for all of the feedback must also have been to get better battery life.

The new Surface Book model retains the same form but will get better performance, among other things, by a Geforce GTX 965-chipset.

Microsoft’s answer on this is to put improvements on these points in the same chassis as the computer was introduced. The improvements in the sharpest model implies a Core i7 processor of the latest cut, a Geforce GTX 965M graphics card which will provide the doubled graphics performance, and this card also runs the new Pixelsense screen. Despite the upgraded hardware, the computer should have been 30% better battery life which gets the whole 16 hours, a very impressive figure that will take the lead among portable computers. The secret behind the good battery life is, among other things, a redesigned cooling system, but also that they simply managed to squeeze in more batteries in the same chassis.

Despite the fact that the shape is the same, Microsoft has managed to scare up the battery life to an impressive 16 hours.

Microsoft also highlighted that the computer’s processing power at 1.9 teraflops (wt) is significantly faster than the competing Macbook Pro models in 13-tumsklassen. The price for the most advanced model will become the 2 399 dollars which is equivalent to approximately 26 000 sek in Sweden. Your computer becomes available in november, but exactly which markets this applies to are at the time of writing unclear. Simpler configurations starting at 1 499 us dollars (about 13 000) and goes up from there. Surface Pro 4 are still available with prices starting at 899 dollars (about 8 000 sek), but if the product has also received upgraded hardware was not mentioned.

News – the Surface Studio

The big news, however, was a direct competitor to Apple’s Imac family, namely the Surface Studio. This is a desktop computer with a Pixelsense screen, 28-inch protected by Gorilla Glass. The chassis is built in aluminum and measuring only 12.5 millimeters, so, a little over an inch. The screen has an aspect ratio of 3:2 and a pixeltäthet of 192 dots per inch. According to Microsoft, this is the slimmest LCD screen ever created. On the inside sits a Core i7 processor of the latest cut, a 2 terabyte large hybrid hard drive and the graphics is handled by the card, the Nvidia Geforce 980M. Little unexpectedly snaps, therefore, Microsoft Apple on the fingers, what comes to the graphics performance.

Surface Studio is a computer that is giving creators access to a competent screen and a Dial-up accessory.

the Screen also has support for something that Microsoft calls True Color that allows the screen to be calibrated on the different needs. This is supported by both the color space in SRGB, and DCI-P3, which means that it covers both consumer needs as the professional graphics. Microsoft has also equipped the operating system Windows 10 with the ability to scale content so that it corresponds to its real size. This function is called, the True Scale and was demonstrated by one A4 page of a document on the screen was exactly the same size as a real A4 page which was held up as a reference. An inch in reality, should therefore be an inch big on the screen.

the Computer is only 12.5 millimeters thick, made possible by a particularly thin LCD panel.

Panos Panay also highlighted that the computer is super quiet and has been adapted to also be used by the computer players, which among other things means that there is built-in support for wireless controllers. Four floating attachment points in the computer’s foot should make it easy to move and angle the computer. An integrated set of microphones to make it easy to use the intelligent voice service Cortana. An integrated Studio high-definition camera can be used for login with Windows Hello.

Surface Studio is equipped with a Geforce GTX 980M, significantly more graphics performance than what the Imac family can boast.

Surface Studio should be more than just a desktop computer, according to Microsoft, and as expected based this claim on that the screen can be folded down so that it lies close to flat against the substrate. The support allows the computer screen can be folded down so that the computer can be angled by 20 degree angle towards the table. Turning the machine to a large ritplatta. In between you can choose which angle and height you want to set your computer on. It is possible to sit with your arm against the screen and draw with the other hand, thanks to Windows, you can use the feel of the wrists and the non-desirable parts of the body.

The main distinguishing factor with the Surface Studio is that it can be put down against the table with a mere 20 degrees angle the most.

Surface Dial is a kontrolldon for creative people, a circular “puck” that is used to control the content in the system. The small wireless wheel can be placed on the screen or elsewhere and is integrated in Windows. With it, you can fast forward and back through your actions with the wheel, zoom in and zoom out in the interface, scroll through the pages in a document, and so on. Dial will also function with other products of the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Book. How creative works can be created with Surface Studio, the pen and the Dial control was demonstrated, inter alia, of a representative of the company Madefire which creates the comics with motion and sound.

Surface Studio yesterday to pre-order today and costs 2 999 dollars, which should correspond to just over 33 000 sek. Once again, it is unclear which markets this applies to. Microsoft also announced that the edition will initially be extremely limited.

Here is the biggest news in the Windows 10 Creator Update – PC for All

Microsoft has this evening during the Surface event in New York city has given us lots of nice information about what we have to look forward to in the upcoming Windows 10 Creator Update, which is released early next year. Here are the main news:


“3D for Everyone”

Microsoft is betting hard on the expanded 3D functionality in its comprehensive update. Features of the Paint undergoes a major metamorphosis and come out as Paint 3D, where the user – with the help of Windows Capture 3D-tool included in the update – can scan objects and add them as 3D objects in the images. A new tool in the program, called Magic Select, allows the user to remove backgrounds, as a way of freeing up people or objects and so you can put them in the 3D images. The idea is that it should be just as easy to create a motif in the 3D as to take a normal photo or filming with a video camera.

the 3D functionality will also be found in other Microsoft programs, like Power Point. During the presentation we got to see examples of when the presenter put a 3D object on one of their slides, and with a simple push of a button she was able to create 3D transitions where the image – depicting a tree – moved back and forth and zoomed in and out. The 3D functionality opens undeniably many new possibilities in how you can use Power Point.


Extended support for the Microsoft Hololens

Microsoft demonstrated how the AR glasses, the Hololens could be put to use with the new update. If the user, for example, created a 3D image in Paint 3D, he can move out of the image and place it as a hologram in the real world. It is also possible to pick out 2D images from the Microsoft Edge, and place them as 3D objects in the environment around you. This can be handy for example, if you are going to buy furniture and want to check if they fit in your home. Microsoft also showed up Holotour: the Opportunity to visit other parts of the world in VR.


Cheaper VR

Speaking of VR, the price to experience VR will soon be much lower than what we are accustomed to in the moment. Microsoft revealed that it has partnered with HP, Dell, Lenovo, Asus, and Acer and will be shipping the VR-headsets in conjunction with the launch of Windows 10 Creator’s Update. The price tag will be at 299 u.s. dollars.


Better opportunities for streaming of games

Microsoft want to make it easier for anyone to stream the games. The solution is spelled Beam, which will be included in the update. For example, if you playing Forza Horizon 3, you can with a button inside of the Xbox Live app, start a stream broadcast in a matter of seconds, and to create tournaments and invite friends is also made by some of the get menu selection.

in Order to make it more interactive, viewers can also come with suggestions on what the player should do. This by clicking on the specific buttons that are listed under the picture. However, the question is how many PC-users who will really use the feature then they need to be inside the Xbox Live app.
