RSS Feeds
Not available in all countries/regions
RSS is a more efficient way of getting information from Web sites and blogs. Instead of searching for updated news and information, you receive updates in the form of a live feed, called an RSS (really simple syndication) feed. Some RSS feeds distribute other types of digital content, including pictures, audio files, videos, or updates, to view when you choose.
HP TouchSmart includes an RSS Feed Reader where you view feeds from Web sites. You can add an RSS Feed tile by adding a new tile and choosing RSS Feed.
To subscribe to an RSS feed in Internet Explorer:
1Tap the Start button, and then tap Internet Explorer.
2Tap the Feeds button to discover feeds on the Web page. Often this is an orange icon.
3Tap a feed.
4Tap the Subscribe to this Feed button
.5Type a name for the feed, and then select the folder where you want to create the feed.
6Tap Subscribe.7Open HP TouchSmart, and tap the RSS feeds tile to view your RSS feeds.
You might have to add a tile and choose RSS Feed if you do not already have an RSS tile.
8Tap the feed title to display it in the RSS reader window. If you tap the arrow button on the feed window, it opens in Internet Explorer outside of HP TouchSmart. When you close the feed, the HP TouchSmart RSS feed window opens.
Keep in mind that RSS feeds take up resources. If you are performing a task and you find you are getting a slower response from the computer, you might try turning off the RSS feeds.
HP TouchSmart Photo
View and edit your photos, create slideshows, and print photos with HP TouchSmart Photo. If you have an Internet connection and a Snapfish account, you can upload your photos to share with others. The Upload button in TouchSmart Photo links to the Snapfish Web site. (Snapfish is not available in some countries/regions.)
Use two fingers to resize a photo. Touch two fingers at the same time on the photo, and move the fingers apart to make a tile larger.
Move the two fingers together to make a tile or photo smaller.
To rotate a photo, enlarge it by placing your thumb and forefinger at the center of the photo, and use a spreading motion. Tap the rotate arrow at the bottom of the photo. You can also use the Rotate button on the right pane. When you make a slideshow of your photos, rotate your photos so each photo appears in its correct orientation.
From HP TouchSmart, you can access photos stored anywhere on your hard drive.
HP TouchSmart Photo supports the .jpg file format.
