Attention, YouTube and Netflix addicts: An update to the Opera Max app boasts that you will slurp up less data while streaming videos, shows and movies.<br />

<br />
"The new version of Opera Max touts unique technology that saves data on videos without any significant loss in quality and even reduces buffering," the company said Tuesday in a statement.<br />
<br />

On Wi-Fi, Opera Max used 11.1MB and saved 13.4MB of what should have been 24.5MB data stream.<br />
Rahil Bhagat/CNET<br />
According to Opera, the app can "condense a 10MB video down to 3MB -- and significantly reduce instances of video buffering -- without any noticeable loss of quality."<br />
<br />
CNET tested the app and found significant data savings but also significant buffering issues. More on that below.<br />
<br />
The free app also includes a feature that shows how much data is saved.<br />
<br />
Originally released in early 2014 after Opera bought Skyfire Labs, Opera Max works by compressing and rerouting data using a virtual private network (VPN) to the "data-savings cloud." All non-encrypted data requests (excluding websites and apps with HTTPS connections) are sent through Opera's compression servers, which optimize video, images and websites to use less data.<br />
<br />
The app's use of proprietary algorithms and software to compress unencrypted data such as text, video, photos and the like on your smartphone allows people to use less of precious data bandwidth.<br />
<br />
Does it work?<br />
<br />
Opera gave CNET a test version of the app's latest version and we gave it a go to check the real world savings. Some of the things we wanted to check were whether the compression reduced video quality, whether it made the video load slower because it was running through a VPN and how much raw data we were saving.<br />
<br />
For this test we used an Android 4.4 powered Xiaomi Mi Note running on Singtel's 4G LTE network in Singapore.<br />
<br />
For the test, we streamed the first three minutes of this YouTube video in HD and these were the results:<br />
<br />
<br />
On 4G, the savings on mobile data were huge with Opera Max saving 10.3MB of data from an 18.8MB data stream. On Wi-Fi, the savings were equally good with Opera Max saving 13.4MB of a 24.5MB data stream.<br />
<br />
The big issue, though, was buffering speeds. Simply put, especially in HD, Opera Max slowed YouTube buffer speeds to a crawl with the video stopping once every seven to 10 seconds to buffer for another eight seconds. Needless to say, this makes watching HD videos problematic and painful.<br />
<br />
This effect is lessened if you turn down the quality -- and thus the data use -- of your video, making Opera Max good for watching videos while on mobile data but rather pointless on Wi-Fi<br />

<br />
During today's unveiling for the Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6 Edge+, Samsung revealed an interesting, potentially powerful new feature for video makers. Both phones will tout a feature called Live Broadcast, which will allow users broadcast a live video stream from their phones directly to YouTube.<br />
<br />
SAMSUNG'S PLAY AGAINST PERISCOPE AND MEERKAT<br />
<br />
Live Broadcast appears to be Samsung's play against popular live streaming apps like Periscope and Meerkat. The feature is built directly into the native camera app, and it allows you to schedule schedule streams or push them live immediately. Stream are up to 1080p resolution at 60fps. It should be noted, though, that there's no social integration within the camera app, so you can't see comments. Also, older phones like the Sony Xperia series from years past have touted a similar feature. Still, Live Broadcast could be a game changer, as it could make the feature a must-have for manufacturers going forward.<br />
<br />
Pre-orders for the Note 5 and S6 Edge+ are open right now.<br />

Upgrade free win7 or 8.1 into win10

Microsoft has rolled out a free evaluation version of Windows 10 Enterprise edition so you can play with it for 90 days if you're still on the fence about upgrading.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', Proxima-Nova, proxima-nova, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 23.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
On Wednesday, Microsoft officially started pushing out<a href="http://www.cnet.com/products/microsoft-windows-10/" style="color: #b80000; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: all; transition-timing-function: ease;">Windows 10</a> as a free upgrade to <a data-is-autolink="true" href="http://www.cnet.com/uk/products/microsoft-windows-7/" style="color: #b80000; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: all; transition-timing-function: ease;">Windows 7</a> and 8.1 users who reserved a copy. The upgrade is free for one year, so if you haven't yet installed it, you have plenty of time to decide whether or not to dive in. The upgrade naturally wipes out your existing installation of Windows 7 or 8.1, though you can roll back if for whatever reason you don't want to stick with <a data-is-autolink="true" href="http://www.cnet.com/uk/products/microsoft-windows-10/" style="color: #b80000; cursor: pointer; font-weight: 600; text-decoration: none; transition-duration: 0.2s; transition-property: all; transition-timing-function: ease;">Windows 10</a>.</div>

Another option, though, is to install the free 90-day trial of Windows 10 Enterprise edition to check out the new OS.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Proxima Nova', Proxima-Nova, proxima-nova, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 23.7999992370605px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
But if the Windows 10 upgrade itself is free, why would you need to bother with a free evaluation edition? Well, installing the trial version gives you three months to check out Windows 10. During that time, you can still maintain your current Windows 7 or 8.1 environment for your everyday tasks. But -- yes, there's always a but -- the Enterprise edition is geared for large businesses so it doesn't offer the same features you'll find in the Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro editions that Microsoft has been pushing out as a free upgrade.</div>

The downsides? Most of the apps that come with Windows 10 Home and Pro aren't available in the Enterprise edition. So you won't find Mail, Calendar, People, Photos, Cortana or other apps. And the Windows app store isn't available either, so you can't download apps. But despite these limitations, the Enterprise edition at least gives you a taste of Windows 10.</div>

It alludes to anything identified with figuring innovation, for example, organizing, equipment, programming, the Internet, or the individuals that work with these innovations. Numerous organizations now have IT divisions for dealing with the PCs, systems, and other specialized ranges of their organizations. IT employments incorporate PC programming, system organization, PC designing, Web improvement, specialized backing, and numerous other related occupations. Since we live in the "data age," data innovation has turn into a piece of our regular lives. That implies the expression "IT," as of now exceedingly abused, is staying put.</div>
