Intel and Industry Partners Explain ‘AppUp’ App Store Plan

By Dena Cassella January 8, 2010

2010 is all about the “app.” Intel CEO Paul Otellini revealed in his CES keynote speech that Intel has launched a beta version of its software app store—the Intel AppUp center—for netbook computers. The first few apps are now available for immediate free download or purchase. The company says that within 30 days of offering the new program, thousands of developers signed up and downloaded the starter-kit, and more than 350 apps have since been submitted for validation or review. These new apps cover several categories such as education, entertainment, games, health, social networking and other categories. Intel’s four industry partners—Acer, Asus, Dell and Samsung—also announced store collaboration and plans.

“Acer was an early supporter of the Intel Atom Developer Program and we applaud the announcement of Intel AppUp center,” said Gianpiero Morbello, Acer Worldwide Marketing vice president. “Accessing the Intel AppUp Center catalog, we will be able to distribute innovative software downloads to Acer Atom processor-based netbook customers and move to easily support additional Acer customers on any device powered by an Intel processor.”

Intel says the beta store will host applications for both the Microsoft Windows and the open source Moblin-based operating systems, the first operating systems to target the popular netbook computer category powered by the Intel Atom processor. Intel and its partners say they hope to expand the stores to include applications for other categories like handheld CE devices, smartphones, consumer electronic appliances, TVs and other devices based on future Intel processor families.

I love the MacBook Pro, but this Windows laptop came surprisingly close

There are some great machines in the 15-inch laptop category, which has recently been stretched to include the more common 16-inch laptop. The best among them is the Apple MacBook Pro 16, which offers fast performance for tasks like video editing and the longest battery life.

The Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 is aimed not only at other 16-inch Windows laptops but also at the MacBook Pro 16. It offers many of the same benefits but at a lower price. Can it take a place at the top?

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams

Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
