Ladies and gentlemen. We can now run Android and Android apps natively on Windows. This is NOT through bluestacks, which virtualizes Android. This is native. Therefore, you will see a MUCH faster performance gain. Here's the link to more information:

Well I have a question, since the post exists.

Why would one want to run Andriod apps within Windows? I see the potential but maybe I am too short-sighted to see what Andriod can do better than Windows.

EDIT: p.s. I like my Andriod phone and this is not hate for Andriod just wondering what Andriod can do vs a Windows native application - perhaps cost savings?

the most obvious thing would be for app development. i'm sure there could be other uses as well

This would be good more for app developers or just geeks who want to mess around. There really is nothing for average Windows users here, though if MS did somehow make Windows 8 and more so RT be able to run Android apps on the start screen that would be a bonus. For now if you have a new tablet and the windows store, being new, doesn't have what you want then this works as a stopgap IMO.

I agree, but do they not have a SDK that already does this for you which is officially supported?

    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
    • "Learning" and "starting" are fine uses of AI. The moment that crap falls into the final game? Lost a sale from me.
    • Don't worry, the majority of its members still suffer from heavy TDS, so these White House simping posts will continue being few and far between.
    • If you're using a webcam for Zoom calls, then any 720p or 1080p cam will do. If on the other hand you want high quality video for streaming or recording, then consider using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, because 99% of 4k webcams will have a tough time achieving same results.
