You’ll soon be able to install Windows apps on your Android phones. Check this out

Remember BlueStacks – the emulator app that let’s
you install and run Android apps on your PC. Oh yeah! I used it too. Even though the was sometimes buggy, it still worked all the same. Have you ever thought of doing the reverse? I mean actually installing Windows PC apps on your Android phone or tab.

This company called CrossOver wants to make this possible. CrossOver develops compatibility layers
that enable Windows apps run on Linux and Mac OS X. Part of their work is the open-source Wine project. This project is aimed at reworking the Windows API to allow Windows applications work on (Android) other operating systems.
     This app comes with it’s limitations. It will only work on Android devices with Intel or AMD processors, also there might be issues with Windows applications not working well with Android’s touchscreen and virtual keyboard. The
app is still in testing mode and the company plans to launch it before the end of 2015.

If dreams are the royal road to the unconscious, as Freud claimed, then that route may be a highway full of tortuous twists and turns—leading nowhere. But it affords some spectacular vistas along the way. By turns, dreams have been deemed prophecies of the future, full of meaning—if only someone could figure out what it is—or the effluence of nerve cells randomly unwinding from a busy day. Once considered a hallmark of the periodic surges of brain activity known as rapid-eye-movement sleep, dreaming now seems somewhat less bundled up; at least 25 percent of dreams are scattered through other parts of the night. Dreaming has been seen as critical for learning, or at least important for solving problems—or as nice but unnecessary. It’s an emblem of mental illness—or a safety shield deflecting it. The newest switchback on dreams comes from South African neuroscientist Mark Solms. Maybe, says Solms, we’ve been confusing cause and effect. Dreams, h...
