Here is how you can find out the MAC address. <br /><br />Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista<br /><br />Click on the Windows Key. Type cmd in the search box and then press Enter. A command Window will appear. <br /><br />Type ipconfig /all and then press Enter. <br /><br />For each of the adapters, you will see a physical address displayed.

In the text box, type cmd and press Enter. <br /><br />A command prompt will display. Now type ipconfig /all and then press Enter.<br /><br />You will find the Ethernet MAC address of your computer displayed under the Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection.<br /><br />Android<br /><br />For every device, the Settings menu will differ. For the majority of the cases on Android, you can use the following method to locate your MAC address. <br /><br />Go to Settings &gt; About Device &gt; Status.<br /><br />You will see a WiFi Address or WiFi MAC Address displayed on the screen.

Here are all the things you'll be able to do with the fancy touchpad on Apple's new MacBook

<p class="p1"><span class="s1"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Both Apple and Google addressed the future of their respective software platforms over these last two weeks, and both made it clear that intelligence will be a major emphasis moving forward.&#xa0;</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Google has <a href="https://www.google.com/landing/now/">Google Now</a>, the service that helps Android users by making recommendations based on their data - anything it can pull from Gmail, like flight information, restaurant reservations, package tracking, movies, and more. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">At Google's developer conference I/O in late May, Google one-upped Now with a new product, called <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/google-machine-learning-miles-ahead-of-apple-2015-5">Google Now On Tap</a>. While Google Now was only accessible via apps like Search and Chrome, <a href="http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2015/05/now-on-tap.html">Now On Tap</a> is actually part of the Android platform. It can basically read anything on your phone's screen to give you more information about what you're looking at in that very instant - so if you're reading a text about a new restaurant, you'll immediately see information about that place, including the ability to make a reservation. It's Google's idea of a more proactive assistant. You have to see it to believe it.</span></p><div><div></div></div><p class="embed-spacer"><span class="s1" style="line-height: 1.5em;">Apple also <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-ios-9-update-release-features-photos-2015-6">emphasized</a> intelligence at the keynote for its Worldwide Developers Conference on Monday, announcing more smart features across both the desktop and mobile platforms. For instance, <a href="http://www.apple.com/osx/elcapitan-preview/">Mac owners</a> will be able to use Spotlight search with more natural language queries like, "Show me documents I wrote last June," and it can also suggest people to contact, places nearby, sports scores, and more, based on your searches.&#xa0;</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">&#xa0;</span></p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Siri is also going to be more proactive thanks to <a href="http://www.apple.com/ios/ios9-preview/">iOS 9</a>,&#xa0;so your mobile devices will be able to learn your habits and activate certain apps at certain times. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">So, Siri can pull up your favorite workout music if you plug in your headphones around a certain time or place, for instance, or know to pull up your podcasts if you connect to your car. It can even find unknown phone numbers by looking through your mail and contacts.&#xa0;</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">It's not at the level of Now On Tap, but Siri in iOS 9 will be extremely useful for staying organized, searching, and discovering.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Both Apple and Google are emphasizing this kind of intelligence across all their apps, too. <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/google-photos-privacy-2015-5">Google's new photos application</a>, which lets you store a lifetime's worth of photos and videos, can find certain pictures you're looking for without you needing to label every single photo. Google's artificial intelligence has <a href="https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6128838?p=face&amp;rd=1">face matching technology</a> and object recognition so it can "see" everything in your photos - so if you search "beach," or "dogs," it can pull those up for you immediately.</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">&#xa0;</span></p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Apple, meanwhile, wants to use intelligence to branch out into others' applications, so it announced a big move on Monday: Apple will open up its search API so developers can get their apps in Spotlight search results. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">In other words, if you want to go on vacation, you can swipe left from the home screen to access Spotlight search, search a destination in Spotlight - maybe Hawaii, or Paris - and Siri can show you specific listings from Airbnb for those places, or point you to flight reservations via Kayak, as long as you've downloaded those apps. Or maybe you want to cook a dish using a new food you just bought, like goat cheese: Spotlight search can pull up recipes from that cooking app you downloaded awhile ago, or point you to the Wikipedia page.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Obviously, these kinds of intelligent services have broad implications for many businesses as well as our own lives, but of these two companies, only Apple is emphasizing anonymity and privacy.</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>"We don't mine your email, your photos or your contacts in the cloud to learn things about you - we honestly just don't want to know," Craig Federighi, Apple's VP of software engineering, said Monday.&#xa0;</span><span class="s1" style="line-height: 1.5em;">"All of this is done on device and it stays on device, under your control. And if we do have to perform a lookup on your behalf for instance for traffic conditions for instance, it's anonymous, it's not associated with your Apple ID, it's not linked to other Apple services, and it's not shared with third parties. Why would you do that? You are in control."</span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">&#xa0;</span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Google, on the other hand, wants to know everything about you, from your photos to your music to your apps. Yes, it will <a href="http://insidesearch.blogspot.ca/2015/01/google-app-update-get-now-cards-from.html">hand off</a> some of that data <a href="http://www.google.com/landing/now/integrations.html">to developers and third parties</a>, but it's all for the sake of convenience and delight, and Google Now on Tap sure does all of that. The fact is, Google already knows a lot about you through Search and Gmail, so many people don't mind it using this knowledge to present music recommendations, news updates, or reminders.&#xa0;</span></p><p class="p2"><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Moving forward, expect Apple and Google to emphasize the strengths of their intelligence platforms - privacy on iOS, and functionality on Android - as they advertise new products: Google Photos already looks like the best photos tool ever created, and it will certainly be interesting to see how Apple's deep-linking works in iOS 9 searches. Artificial intelligence is still a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/bill-gates-artificial-intelligence-2015-1">major sticking point</a> in the tech world, with many smart people like <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-compares-ai-to-nukes-2014-8">Elon Musk</a> and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/stephen-hawking-on-artificial-intelligence-2015-5">Stephen Hawking</a> concerned about its future, but in small doses like this, Apple and Google are showing it can be wonderful.</span></p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/iphone-ios-9-new-features-2015-6">The 12 best new features coming to the iPhone</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="5maTJrdTpgHbMWUI2q_PxsufXl1FPqkr" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>
