1. Intel Widi

Do the new macbooks support Intel wireless display technoloy called as Widi? Since Widi is as yet only compatible with windows 7/8.1, I am not referring to widi working on OS X Mavericks. However, since one can install windows 7/8.1 on mac easily using bootcamp, I would like to know whether widi would work then. To repharse my question, does Intel Widi work on a Macbook Pro with windows 7/8.1 installed on it.

Sep 25, 2014 My question is about the new Microsoft Wireless display adapter. The laptop does not have an Hdmi port, and the Wi-Fi does not support Wi-Fi direct. My Samsung SmartTV has and hdmi port and a Wi-Fi that supports Wi-Fi direct. Also has an ethernet port. The question is whether the Microsoft Wireless Adapter will work on projecting my Laptop to. Second alternative - AirFlick from Erica Sadun - allows you to make your Mac an AirPlay source so you can mirror its display to an AppleTV, just as if it was an iPad. This won't be as easy as we might expect of Mac software, Erica is an awesome hacker but doesn't employ a team of graphic and web designers to make beautiful lick able software.

Since the processors are capable, I assume Widi should work with the latest macs. Only question is whether the wireless card is supported or not? In addition, does Apple provide the necessary driver support and other requriements to get widi working.Cannot remove microsoft 2011 from mac to windows 10.

As surprising as it may seem, I haven't found any answer to this question anywhere on the internet. Surprising how not many people are concerned about it. Of course there is Apple TV, but Widi and Airplay are quite not the same technologieis anyway.

Microsoft is working on a new service called Microsoft WiFi, details of which leaked today at microsoftwifi.com. While the website has since been pulled, it described the service as offering “hassle-free Internet access around the world” so users can be “productive on the go.”

Microsoft WiFi was first spotted by Twitter user h0x0d, the same guy who recently discovered Microsoft Earn. We reached out to Microsoft for more information.

“We can confirm that we are working on a new service, called Microsoft WiFi, that will bring hassle-free Wi-Fi to millions,” a Microsoft spokesperson told VentureBeat. “We look forward to sharing additional detail when available.”

As most of Microsoft’s initiatives nowadays, the Microsoft WiFi app will be a cross-platform affair. Before it was pulled, we saw Microsoft WiFi app downloads links for Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Windows Phone.

We grabbed the image above before Microsoft took down the website. As you can see, the point of the service is to make sure you’re always online no matter where you go:

Don’t waste time filling forms with personal information or managing different carriers to get connected. Sign in once and you are done: you will automatically be connected to a vast range of WiFi providers around the world.

Locating Wi-Fi spots near you will apparently be achieved using the app’s “interactive map.” Unfortunately, this service won’t be available to everyone. The webpage also explained that you had to be “eligible” before you could download and use the app, though there will be versions for businesses and individuals alike.

At launch, Microsoft WiFi will only be available to:

• Active Skype WiFi subscribers (through the Microsoft Work & Play Bundle or the Surface 2 + Skype WiFi Bundle)
• Employees of organizations with Microsoft Office 365 for Enterprise
• Customers who received a special WiFi offer from Microsoft

In case you’ve never heard of it, Skype WiFi is a service that lets users get online at over 2 million Wi-Fi hotspots worldwide, paying with Skype Credit for the minutes used. The main pitch there is “no more fumbling with credit cards or long sign up processes when you’re on the move,” according to Skype.

Microsoft WiFi appears to be the same idea (a pay-as-you-go service that automatically connects you to free public Wi-Fi hotspots), but this appears to be more than just a rebranding, as it targets a much bigger audience: 10 million Wi-Fi hotspots in 130 countries.

The company isn’t sharing any more information right now, but we will update you when that changes.
