How ARC Welder Works

What ARC welder does is fairly simple, it Allow you to run an Android App within Chrome Browser and Chrome OS. It simply captures instructions to and from an Android Mobile or Tablet, and Send them via your Computer.

SO Apps that Depends on your camera, or location won’t work. Unfortunately ARC Welder doesn’t support some Apps and Games that need Internet Connection to run for Example Clash of Clan and KIK messenger is not running in my PC.

For Testing Purpose I used Temple Run 2, Clash of Clans and Box Jump and I Tested only on Chrome Browser.

First you need to download the Apk files of the App that you want to run. Google Play Doesn’t want users to Download Apk files of An App so you can’t download APK files from Google Play.

However there are Few Websites like AndroidAPKsfree.com, downloader-apk.com Provide you APK files. Follow These Instruction to Download an Apk File.

As mentioned before ARC Welder Allow you to run one App at a Time. As you DO on your Android Smartphone. you can’t Run Multiple Android Apps simultaneously.

Download ARC Welder From Chrome Webstore.

Open ARC Welder from Chrome Apps, At First ARC Welder will ask you to choose a Folder to Store App Information. Create a Folder called ARC Welder on my Documents and Choose the Folder as Default folder for ARC Welder.

How to Run Android Apps in Google Chrome


Now Click on Add your APK, Browse and Choose your Apk File and a Screen will Open in Few seconds ARC welder will show Launch Settings for the App.

In Settings you can Choose Phone mode or Tablet mode and App Orientation. As your Computer Display Oriented in Landscape mode you should use Landscape and Tablet mode.

After Customized the Settings Click the Launch Button. When you Press the launch Button the App Will Run in a New Window. If you want to add a New App Click the Go Back Button in the main Window and Add a New Apk File.

Don’t think ARC Welder as an Android Emulator for Running Android APPS on your Computer. Because it’s simply not. It’s Still in Development so we can’t depend on it right Now.

Remember iPhoto is no longer supported by Apple, the Photos App is the Future of Mac, So moving an iPhoto library to the Photos App and try to learn and getting used to the interface of Photos App is best idea. You can Use IPhoto as long as you want but it is not going to receive any Updates in future. So it may lose compatibility with Future OS X Versions.

Microsoft How-Old.net Guesses How Old You Look

Two Weeks Ago Microsoft Launched a Website called How-Old.net. On How-Old.net users upload their Photos and the site Guess their Age based on the Photo. The results might not accurate at all times and sometimes accurate.

Microsoft used their Face API (which is used to detect faces in Photos) to create the Site How-Old.net. i uploaded two Photos of myself that was taken 1 year Ago.in the first photo the Website Guessed I was 26 (not even Close).in the Second Photo it Predicted all the way to 29. Both guesses are not Accurate at All but it is a good way to get some laugh.

I tried some celebrities Photos – though it is always hard to guess how old they are. Most Photos got accurate results. I think Photos with Good Lighting get Accurate Results.

How-Old.net says We don't keep the Uploaded photos however the terms of service are little different. The terms of service page had a note under “Materials Posted On this Website” which is confusing.

What that Terms of Service Page States is by Uploading or Posting your Contents, you are giving Microsoft and its Partners rights to use your content. This includes distributing, copying, etc. simply by Uploading your Photos you grant Microsoft Permission to use your Pictures.

The website states that the Pictures uploaded in How-old.net is not stored anywhere. However they still has rights to use them.

So if you are going to try How-Old.net it is good to Avoid your Personal Photos .it is best to Use some of your random selfies to let the site Predict your Age. For More fun use some fictional characters Images.
