Google preps users for Google Assistant-powered headphones with new videos

Google is making sure you make the most out of your Google Assistant-powered headphones (like the Bose QuietComfort 35 II) with new videos that have showed up on its Google Help account. If you’ve been thinking about how to make the most out of these cans, the short video above will show you what you can do. But if you’d rather focus on specific features, Google also posted shorter clips: one focusing on how Google Assistant and your headphones will work, the other more on what you can do with notifications.  So, when you do decide to get a pair, we are expecting more of these headphones to come out in the near future, you can use them like a pro.

Free Microsoft course teaches newbies to code Windows 10 apps

Microsoft needs developers to create apps for their platform. What better way to encourage them but through free tutorials that even “absolute beginners” can do. This series of video lessons teaches you to make Universal Windows Platform apps that can work on different devices like PCs, phones, tablets, HoloLens, Xbox, and Raspberry Pi. The lessons extend up to when you submit an app to the Windows Store.

To get started, Microsoft encourages you to have basic grasp of coding in C# so best check out the C# Fundamentals first. And then you can take the two-part course. You’ll first learn the basics to make a simple app and then create four full-fledged apps: a soundboard to play funny sounds, a weather app, an album cover matching game, and an encyclopedia of Marvel characters with Cortana integration.

Apple Music introduces Guided Tours page to help you make sense of the app

Still get confused about how to use Apple Music? The tech giant is helping you out with the new “Guided Tours” section on the mini site for Apple Music. There are “tours” with videos explaining how these core functions work. The tours revolve around the For You, New, Radio, Connect, and My Music features. It would seem this is to help the people who have been complaining about the service’s confusing interface.

It doesn’t tackle the iTunes and iPad interfaces though or the app that’ll come for the fourth-generation Apple TV. Right now, it’s a critical time for the service as the trials for Apple Music will end at the end of this month. Starting October 1^st, subscribers who stay on will have to pay at least US$10 per month for the service. And we'll be able to see how much potential the service really has with the number of users who decide to stay on.
