Windows 8 1 Update 2 Rumors Release Date Features and More
According to the news, Windows 8.1 Update 2 will land on August 12. Now this report hasn’t been confirmed by Microsoft, but media sources are claiming that they have confirmed the rumor. In addition, most people think of is as a truth. In fact, this report has been confirmed by Russian site PC Portal.
It is said that Windows 8.1 Update 2 has few new features. It might be released as Windows 8 patch update. Besides, the earlier rumors had suggested that Windows 8.1 Update 2 could be released in fall holiday season, which may reflect a release-to-manufacturing schedule.
Release date:
Windows 8.1 Update 2 will be released on August 12 although this has not been accepted by Microsoft.Price:
If you have install Windows 8.1 Update 1 on your computer, you can upgrade to Windows 8.1 Update 2 free. Even if you don’t install Windows 8.1 update 1, you can also get Windows 8.1 update 2 at a low price.Features:
Windows 8.1 Update 1 brought us some surprises on April, providing a number of useful tweaks, like the search button on Start screen, and a return to more familiar mouse etc.What will Windows 8.1 update 2 bring for us? As Windows 9 thread will be released in Sep 2014, windows 8.1 update 2 wont see too many changes on the basis of windows 8.1 update 1. One thing we should care about is that the start menu will be back in advance instead of coming back with Windows 9.
A leaked screenshot may prove what Microsoft said about the time when they released Windows 8.1 Update 1 in April. The start menu will be back in the coming Windows update.

Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 Root Recovery ROMs More
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 Root Recovery ROMs More
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 Root, Recovery and ROMs
Root
The Samsung Galaxy S4 has only been out on Verizon a few days, and its already been rooted. The http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com site already has a good forum going. Despite Verizons attempt to harden the kernel to prevent the Motochopper exploit that is used from working, the exploit works by first loading an earlier version of the kernel, then running the exploit, then reloading the latest kernel.Recovery
Theres a new set of tools for flashing kernels and recoveries that works around the locked bootloader on the Galaxy S4 called Loki. While Ive not downloaded the source code yet to use it, its my understanding that the recovery installed by GooManager uses this set of tools.So, after youve got root, go get GooManager and you can install the Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) recovery.
The sex tape developers site also has a CWM recovery under development as discussed in this forum. It looks like in order to try this one, youll need to download and build the Loki tools.
ROMs
Perhaps the most important ROM of all is out at the sex tape developers site, the stock unrooted original ROM. At this point, there are several other proof of concept ROMs under development there as well, but nothing that looks ready to really use yet.Of course, if you want to go looking for ROMs, a good place to go is always the xda-developers.com site. Today, the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 forum is at the top of the list! So far, Ive only one ROM here, a stock rooted odexed and deodexed.
Kernels
The kernel from Faux123 is out for all US and International versions of the Galaxy S4. I just downloaded from this thread.
Google Wallet
Similar to getting Google Wallet working on the Samsung Galaxy S3, the S4 requires a /system/build.prop hack, flashing a deodexed ROM, loading the Xposed framework, and applying an Xposed framework patch.
This XDA thread was started for T-Mobile, but can be followed except that before beginning you will want to download a deodexed ROM for your carrier of the device, like the Verizon one mentioned in this thread from XDA Developers. Basically, this will make your phone look like a Sprint Galaxy S4 device, which has access to the app. Once the app is installed and working, you can revert your build.prop back to the original.
Repositories
I stumbled upon this repository which has many of the files that you need, not just for the S4, but many other Samsung devices as well.Available link for download

The Titanic sails again Australian tycoon unveils plans for perfect replica of doomed vessel except with a few more lifeboats
The Titanic sails again Australian tycoon unveils plans for perfect replica of doomed vessel except with a few more lifeboats
With a name like Titanic II its launch was never going to be plain sailing.
The sequel to the doomed liner that sank 100 years ago was announced on Tuesday - after its designer claimed it would be the most safe cruise ship in the world with ample lifeboats.
With hubris akin to that of the 1912 original, Markku Kanerva said that from a safety perspective there was no vessel on Earth which compared to the new boat.
Scroll down for video.
He said that it had more than enough lifeboats and that the hull was stronger than the wooden original because it was made from steel composite.
Despite his confidence the mastermind behind the project, brash Australian mining billionaire Clive Palmer, refused say it was unsinkable.
He said: I think anything will sink if you put a hole in it. I think youd be very cavalier to say something like that.
I think people in the past have done that and lived to regret it.
The blueprint for the Titanic II was unveiled in New York for the first time along with computer generated images of the inside.
They bear a startling resemblance to the 1997 James Cameron film about the ship, which starred Kate Winslet and Leonardo Di Caprio, and show that many of the original features including the famous Grand Staircase will feature in the new boat.
The six-day maiden voyage will take place in late 2016 and will be be from Southampton to New York to complete the journey started all those years ago.
Just like in 1912 there will be three classes of passenger and those with different tickets will not be able to move between the classes, though there will be more toilets for the lower decks than the original.
Everyone on board will however be provided with early-20th-century-style clothes and undergarments in their cabins to get them in the mood.
Whilst there will be air conditioning there will be no TVs and no Internet in a bid to get back to the romance of a bygone age.
Professor Palmer outlined his bold vision in which the Titanic II would be carrying the hopes and dreams of people everywhere and represent the reconciliation of man.
There will be capacity for 2,435 passengers and 900 crew.
There will also be lifeboats that can carry 2,700 and a life rafts with an additional capacity of 800.
The original Titanic had just 16 wooden lifeboats that accommodated 1,178 people, one third of the total capacity.
Some 1,502 people died when it sank on April 15 1912.
It was one of the worst peacetime disasters the world has ever seen.
At the launch of Titanic II, which began with a guitar rendition of Celine Dions My Heart Will Go On, Professor Palmer explained that the ship will be 883ft long, which is three inches longer than the original.
It will have a tonnage of 55,800 tonnes compared to 53,210 of the original.
It will have a maximum speed of 24 knots, the same as the first Titanic.
Other original features which will also appear on Titanic II include the Turkish baths, the Cafe Parisien, the two Millioniare Suites, the Chart Room, and the quarters belonging to Titanic Master Captain Edward Smith.
For entertainment guests can enjoy the casino, cinema or shopping area.
The blueprint shows that there will even the same Marconi room where the Titanic sent out its final SOS.
Whereas the original was built by the famous Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast, in a sign of how times have changed the Titanic II is being constructed by state-owned Chinese company CSC Jinling Shipyard.
Professor Palmer refused to reveal how much he is paying to build Titanic II but claimed there had already been significant interest, including from celebrities.
He said: 40,000 people had registered for tickets on the ships website with 16 offering between $750,000 and $1m to be on the opening voyage.
He added that on the first trip he would be in third class twiddling the fiddle like Leonardo Di Caprio did in the film.
Mr Kanerva, of Finnish boat designers Deltamarin, added: I can assure you that from a safety point of view it will be absolutely the most safe cruise ship in the world.
We are taking into account all of the possible incidents and accidents and we try to simulate all of those occasions.
Collision is the most common accident we are talking about.
The launch, on the USS Intrepid moored on a pier in Manhattan, was met with a mixed reaction by relatives of those who survived the original sinking.
Helen Benzinger, the great granddaughter of Molly Brown, an American heiress who was on board Titanic, said that she was thrilled at the new design.
The family of the Capt Smith however have said the replica is in bad taste.
