AT&T Introduce ultraspeedy 5G field trial

5G, which stands for the fifth generation of wireless technology, promises a significant speed boost for Internet connections. On a 5G network, you could download the latest "Star Wars" film in seconds, not the minutes needed on today's networks. Its expected ubiquity will help connect millions of different devices, from lightbulbs to farming equipment, and allow them to talk with each other, and you.

Now AT&T has publicly come out with its 5G roadmap. It follows Verizon's vow to hold field tests this year.

AT&T, the nation's second-largest wireless, carrier said Friday that it planned to start development work on 5G technology with partners Ericsson and Intel in the second quarter. Field trials are expected to start in Austin, Texas, by the end of the year.


A 5G connection could greatly boost the speed of your phone.

The company's roadmap marks the next steps on the long journey to 5G. Though AT&T and Verizon are moving on tests now, the industry doesn't expect the technology to be widely available until 2020. With early work going into 5G now, the hype is building, thanks to the promise that it will bring a faster and more responsive network.

The rollout of 5G will enable all kinds of new opportunities. A more responsive network could let a doctor remotely perform superaccurate surgery with robotic hands, carriers and equipment makers have said. The increased capacity would also let you stream virtual-reality videos or games directly to your headset, or multiple streams of superhigh-definition video to all the big-screen televisions in your house.

"New experiences like virtual reality, self-driving cars, robotics, smart cities and more are about to test networks like never before," John Donovan, chief strategy officer of AT&T, said in a statement. "5G will help make them a reality."

It could even be fast and cheap enough to let you ditch your home broadband service. AT&T plans to roll out a home Internet service powered by this technology to a limited number of customers by the end of the year, according to a spokesman.

"What 5G will mean is that fixed wireless will become a realistic alternative or replacement for fixed Internet service, especially in rural America," said Roger Entner, an analyst at Recon Analytics.

Currently, your phone's speed is measured in megabits per second. With 5G, it will be measured in gigabits per second.

AT&T said its 5G network will deliver 10 to 100 times the speed of today's 4G connections.


Beyond speed, 5G networks are also designed to be more power efficient, allowing a connected sensor on a farm to run for 10 years on a single battery.

AT&T believes it can move more quickly by relying more on software than the typical upgrade process of adding new equipment. The company said it has worked on many of the key ingredients of 5G technology in its labs for years.

The company plans to use the data gleaned from the Austin trials to help guide full deployment down the line.

Google 'paid Apple $1bn in 2014 to keep search on iPhone'

Google paid tech rival Apple $1bn in 2014 to keep its search function the default option on iOS devices, Bloomberg reports.
A transcript of court proceedings from a copyright lawsuit against Google allegedly contains reference to a deal between the Silicon Valley firms.
The alleged agreement involves Google paying Apple a percentage of revenue - as much as 34% - gained through iOS devices.
Both companies declined to comment.
The BBC has not been able to verify the claims independently.
Bloomberg added that the referenced document has since been removed from the web.
"The transcript vanished without a trace from electronic court records at about 15:00," the report noted.
The court proceedings in question regard a lawsuit by Oracle Corp. in which the firm claims that Google used its Java software to develop Android but failed to pay for it.
'Lucrative business'
Analyst firms, such as Morgan Stanley, have quoted the $1bn figure in the past, but this appears to be the first time that a reference has been found in court documents.
"It's a very lucrative business to be the browser of choice on a device or the search engine on a device," Chris Green, a technology analyst at consultancy firm Lewis, told the BBC.
"It really does, I think, highlight the importance that's being put on being able to own real estate and the conduits through which people access information."
However, Mr Green also noted that it was generally quite common for companies to pay hardware vendors fees for the placement of software and services on devices and that sometimes that may indeed be a percentage of revenue gained as a result.

Other details about how Google manages its services emerged this week - including the fact that the firm removed 780 million "bad" advertisements from its sites last year.
By bad, Google said it was referring to ads which linked to malware, promoted fake goods or covered up website content.
In a blog post, the company said it had more than 1,000 people within its organisation responsible for weeding out these ads and that the number that had to be removed was increasing.
Some figures published by Google on advertisements include:
More than 17 million ads designed to trick or mislead people into clicking them removed
12.5 million ads blocked which violated Google's healthcare and medicine policy - such as ads for unapproved drugs

The construction of Hyperloop has finally started

A safe way to travel at more than 1,100 km/h without using fossil fuels, rails or roads might sound like science fiction, but it’s exactly what Elon Musk suggested when envisioning the fastest means of transport in the world: Hyperloop. Instead of using a roads and rails, the Hyperloop consists of a long, depressurized tube that ‘shoots’ a capsule carrying people or materials, from a point A to a point B.

“You just remove the pressure from an enclosed environment — you can think of that as a tube. You remove the friction of wheels by levitating that pod inside the tube, and then it takes a very little amount of energy to move that pod at incredible speed,” said Rob Lloyd, President of Hyperloop Technologies, in an interview with CNNMoney.



Elon Musk, who first proposed the hypothesis of Hyperloop, did so to protest against the plans of the former governor of California to build a bullet train that would cost $68 billion to build and would charge people $100 to travel from San Francisco to Los Angeles. According to the billionaire, you can create a collective means of transport much faster spending much less, provided with the right technology.

Musk has developed guidelines for the construction of Hyperloop and then open-sourced a 60-page document on how it could be done, challenging investors, companies and scientists to make it happen – and Hyperloop Technologies owned up to the challenge. The test tubes being built by the company will begin to be assembled and tested in the coming months in the state of Nevada, and it is expected that the final model will be fully-functional by 2020.

New tool will transform normal laptop to Touch Screen Laptop just Rs 3200

Using LCD/LED Screen as touch Screen

Smartphones have affected the way the world thinks and moves. They have brought immense technological breakthrough and have spread their wings into fields we wouldn’t have been considered compatible a couple of years ago. But one of the most interesting by-products these devices have delivered are touchscreens. Touch screens are no longer found only in mobile phones. Not by a long shot, you find them on tablets; TV, laptops and even the new Windows 8 will feature a touchscreen friendly interface.

Make Your Monitor a Touchscreen
They might be expensive right now, but let’s face it, everybody wants them, and maybe, just maybe, there might be a way to convert your average home screen to a fancy touchscreen. The initial feedback isn’t exactly good as most desktop monitors aren’t capable of such a drastic shift. The reason? There’s not enough space behind the front bezel and the LCD chassis for the touchscreen sensor and the touch screen controller to fit in.

1. PreCursor Virtual Layer

Pranav Mistry impressed the tech world with his Sixth Sense device a while ago, and now he has done it again. He unveiled the PreCursor project that would allow computer owners to change their plain looking monitors into touchscreens with extra functionality. Pranav Mistry teased any interested readers with a short demonstration video that in under a minute reveals the intriguing innovation.

The mouse gives us three levels of interaction with the computer: hover, click and double click, and each interaction type comes with its own level of commitment. On the other hand, the touchscreen device only offers one level, click or touch. PreCursor aims to change the touch screen interaction by adding to it another level. With the help of two cameras and an infrared laser, PreCursor creates a virtual layer parallel and in front of the computer screen.

The user doesn’t necessarily need  to touch the screen in order to generate an action, he only can hover above the monitor and the gestures are translated into actions.



details the official website.

PreCursor Guys Love Invisible Layers
When PreCursor passes the testing phase and hopefully becomes a technology available for the masses, the computer screens will be able to get more flexibility than the existing touchscreens. One of the new features includes the recognition of the hover gestures which even the high-end tablets and smartphones don’t offer (perhaps the newly released Xperia Sola has something to say about that).

The PreCursor is similar to another Pranav Mistry project, Mouseless. Using the same configuration of camera and infrared laser, the system also creates an invisible layer, but this time on the table, where the computer owner used to activate the mouse. Only that there is now an invisible mouse and the technology interprets the hand movements, taps or hovers and translates them into cursor movements and mouse actions. The prototype is in its late stages and its makers revealed the costs: about $20.

2. DUO Pen

Another option for those in need of a cheap tablet comes from Korean company Pen and Free. They have come up with a peripheral device that might get you the touchscreen you’ve always dreamed of. It has been dubbed Duo and it magically sprinkles touch screen features to any monitor it happens to get attached to.  The device can be coupled with the monitor on one of its sides. It can also be plugged via USB.  Not only that but it supports word recognition and motion recognition. And you don’t have the best part yet, it comes at a meager $44.

3. Add-on Magic Touchscreen Kit

There are entire companies that offer a wide range of conversion products. Like Keytec Inc, for example. Shopping with them could get you the Add-On Magic Touch Screen Kit, advertised to instantly convert any monitor, regardless if it’s a desktop or a notebook into a touchscreen device. Or maybe you are a teacher and might interested in purchasing the ACEeBoard – a solution to making your own interactive whiteboard.

4. Cycloutouch

But if you are looking for a professional solution and want to buy a ready-made touchscreen, you should consider Cyclotouch – one of the leading high quality touchscreen panel manufacturers in the world. They boast collaborations with important institutions like the University of Melbourne, Australian Observatories or the Royal Australian Air Force.

5. 3M Microtouch Screens

Eager users could try and purchase a 3M touchscreen sensor kit and attempt a test integration with their monitors. Owners of big LCD/plasma monitors might be luckier. With the help of a single frame provided by PQ Labs the transition is possible. If you are really interested in this solution, you can give the exact dimensions of your monitor and get a microtouch suitable for your monitor. On their website you will find, as well, detailed instructions on how to make your monitor a touchscreen.

6. Touch Gloves
Maybe you wouldn’t fancy a pen looking object turning your screen into a touch screen. Maybe you’d prefer a glove. Like a group of students from the Belgian University of Hasselt who took it upon themselves to design a glove implemented technology in order to pick up the electron beam and influence it as it makes its way across the screen. The project is just in its infancy and is visionary at the moment, but it will soon be improved.

Turning a monitor into a touchscreen is not an easy task to do if you don’t know the solutions. A better idea would be to go for a touchscreen all-in-one computer, but you’d have to invest a lot of money and there aren’t so many touchscreen models out there. Many solutions to make your monitor a touchscreen are still visionary products or in their lab phase. Nonetheless, if you really want to go full-touch, then there are already solutions, you will just have to try them out!

Twitter envisions drones controlled by your tweets

A drone may one day deliver your selfies to Twitter.

The San Francisco-based company was granted a patent last week for an unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV, for capturing photos and videos that can then be shared through users' accounts on the microblogging network. The drone's movements would be controlled by Twitter users' likes, tweets and replies, determining what images were recorded.

Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but a Twitter spokesperson told CNBC: "Two words: drone selfies."

Drones, most often camera-equipped quadcopters with four computer-controlled rotors that keep them aloft, are hot items as consumers snap them up and businesses seek to put them to use. More than 400,000 drones are expected to be purchased this holiday season, according to Michael Huerta, administrator with the Federal Aviation Administration.

Companies such as Amazon, Google and Walmart are also looking at the devices as a way to get a jump on the competition with speedier package delivery. Google has said it plans to begin drone deliveries by 2017, while last month Amazon showed off a new prototype drone it hopes to use to deliver small packages to customers in less than 30 minutes. Following Amazon and Google's lead, Walmart sought permission in October from the FAA to test its own drones to deliver merchandise.

As interest in drones has exploded over the past few years, the FAA has wrestled with how to regulate commercial drone use. The FAA in February proposed regulations that would allow drones to fly during daylight hours and within the operator's line of site.

The rules, which the FAA expects to finish writing by mid-2016, don't yet accommodate more radical drone ideas such as Twitter's. That said, there's no guarantee Twitter will actually use the technology described in the patent.

New rules for hobbyist drone pilots have already kicked in. On Monday, the FAA began requiring consumers to register their drones.

Chip promises faster computing with light, not electrical wires

Today's computers may look very different from room-sized machines of the 1940s, but they still send data the same way, with electrical signals in metal wires. Researchers at three US universities, though, have built a chip that transmits data with light instead, lifting speed limits and lowering power consumption.

The technology involved, called silicon photonics, is an active area of research at chipmakers like Intel and IBM, but so far it hasn't been a commercially viable idea. The researchers behind the new development -- at the University of California's Berkeley campus, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Colorado's Boulder campus -- think they'll have test versions of commercially viable chips ready to go in early 2017.

Inside today's computers and smartphones, electrical signals travel along countless metal wires that link processors to memory, networks, storage devices and USB ports. For longer distances spanning countries, cities or mammoth data centers packed with servers, it's economical instead to send data as light traveling inside fiber-optic cables. Fiber optics can handle tremendous quantities of data, but the technology isn't cheap.

The university researchers hope to change that with photonic components built directly into the chip that can send and receive light signals. Their approach, to be detailed in a paper in the journal Nature on Thursday, can be built with today's chipmaking equipment and silicon ingredients, making it easier to slot into today's computing infrastructure.

If they succeed in bringing their prototype out of the research lab, consumers will eventually benefit. For data centers, where messages shuttle among thousands of servers, silicon photonics could speed up services like Google search or Facebook image recognition or let those companies introduce performance-intensive features not economical today. For personal computers and smartphones, silicon photonics could uncork performance bottlenecks without hampering battery life.

This prototype processor communicates with fiber-optic links instead of conventional electrical wires. At top is memory, at right two processing cores, and on the lower side several optical transmission and receiving links. The chip measures 3x6mm.

Silicon photonics don't make chips themselves run faster, a key problem facing today's computing industry. Instead, they keep chips supplied with data so they don't waste time idle, and that efficiency improves overall performance.

Building the first chip that communicates with the outside world optically is a milestone, said Vladimir Stojanovic, the Berkeley associate professor who led the chip development. But as a business, the biggest challenge is packaging the technology affordably, he said. For that reason, the technology will start in data centers before spreading to smaller devices, he predicted.

"We expect the packaging to be completely amortized first in the data-center applications so that it can then get cheap enough to penetrate the mobile and PC market," he said.

The ideas aren't merely academic. Two startups are betting on the technology: Ayar Labs, which is trying to commercialize its photonic interconnect technology, and SiFive, which is trying to base a business on the freely available RISC-V chip design used by the processor.

Later, Stojanovic expects the technology to connect individual chips within a computer, one processor talking to another, for example, or fetching data from memory.

Beyond that, the silicon photonics technology could improve lidar, the laser sensors used by self-driving cars, as well as brain imaging and environmental sensors.

Silicon photonics has the potential to rewrite some decades-old rules of how computers are put together. With conventional electrical links, short cable or wire lengths are crucial to fast data transmission -- just inches inside a computer chassis, for example. When the computing industry increased the speed of standard USB connections by a factor of ten in recent years, the maximum cable length dropped from about 16 feet to 10 feet to avoid electrical signal problems.

But with optical links, data can travel much farther without needing a boost, so it can be used to hook a chip to a memory bank inches away or another computer on the other side of a vast data center. The university's prototype used 10-meter optical links, but they could easily reach a kilometer, Stojanovic said.

That means computers working together in data centers don't have to waste as much time waiting for each other to respond. "Our photonic solution will help processors get faster access to that network," Stojanovic said.

Unlike sending data through copper wires, optical links only require a tiny amount of energy -- enough that the chip itself can handle it. That helps avoid electricity costs and problems that come with overheated electronics.

Other researchers involved in the effort include Berkeley's Krste Asanovic, MIT's Rajeev Ram and Boulder's Milos Popovic.

Galaxy S6 Concept Video Shows What to Expect

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is the most anticipated smartphone of early 2015, and our new Galaxy S6 concept combines the latest Galaxy S6 rumors and leaks into our vision of what the Samsung Galaxy S6 may look like.

Samsung is great at keeping their new phone design under wraps until they take the stage, but thanks to several key leaked photos we can share what we think the device will look like when the Galaxy S6 release arrives in the near future.

On March 1st Samsung will host the Samsung Unpacked event with a live stream where the company will show off the new Samsung Galaxy S for 2015, but you don’t have to wait to see what we think this device will look like.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 concept highlights a new design, 2K display and upgraded metal frame.
The Samsung Galaxy S6 concept highlights a new design, 2K display and upgraded metal frame.
Above you can see what the Galaxy S6 could look like if the leaks are correct and Samsung delivers a huge upgrade from the Galaxy S5 and even the Note 4.



Gotta Be Mobile teamed up with Martin Hajek to bring the Galaxy S6 rumors and leaks to life in realistic renders that offer a sneak peek at Samsung’s next big thing.

Read: Galaxy S5 vs Galaxy S6 Concept

The Samsung Galaxy S6 is a major upgrade for the company, with a focus on premium design that rumors suggest will combine metal and glass to take on the iPhone 6 and finally leave plastic behind.


The Samsung Galaxy S6 leaks clearly show a design that builds on the metal frames of the Galaxy Alpha and Galaxy Note 4 to deliver a metal and glass design that still delivers expandable storage but doesn’t leave room for a user replaceable battery.

As you can see in the Galaxy S6 concept images above and below, there is a metal frame that wraps around and even through the middle of the device. This matches the leaked Galaxy S6 frame photos from Nowhereelse.fr, which shows a design that is similar to the iPhone 6, but also one that draws from the Galaxy Note 4.

 .
Our Galaxy S6 concepts bring the rumors to life.
Although it remains unconfirmed, part of the upgraded design could be a glass back with multiple color options. Although glass backs on phones are not as common as two or three year’s ago, it remains a possibility. The Galaxy S6 concept image below shows what a glass back could look like on the new device.

The Galaxy S6 concept below features a glass back that matches recent rumors.
The Galaxy S6 concept below features a glass back that matches recent rumors.
Samsung Galaxy S6 rumors continue to go back and forth on the size of the screen, but based on these leaks it doesn’t appear that there is enough room for a 5.5-inch display that was once leaked. Our Galaxy S6 concept includes a 5-inch display that is larger than the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 screen and delivers a higher resolution. All signs point to a 2,560 x 1,440 resolution on the Galaxy S6. This is the same as the Galaxy Note 4, but on a smaller display it boosts the pixels-per-inch to 587 ppi.

Count on an upgraded 2k display, many sensors and an upgraded fingerprint reader.
Count on an upgraded 2k display, many sensors and an upgraded fingerprint reader.
There are various sensors packed in above the display near the ear speaker, which should continue support for keeping the display on when you are looking at it.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 dimensions are 143.30 x 70.81 x 6.91 in this concept. This is based on leaked Galaxy S6 details.

On the back of the device is a 16MP sensor that sticks out slightly due to optical image stabilization and the thin design. To the side is a flash that also includes a heart rate sensor that can also check blood oxygen levels like the one found on the Galaxy Note 4. There is a 5MP front-facing camera that helps users take better looking selfies.

Rumors suggest we will see a 16MP or 20MP camera with OIS.

A closer look at the Galaxy S6 design reveals other key changes to the look and feel of this device. The edges of the device are all metal with openings for a SIM card and for a Micro SD card. In the Galaxy S6 concept you can see a headphone jack that is now on the bottom of the device and a Micro USB port that is no longer covered with a water-proof flap. It is very likely that the Galaxy S6 will not offer the same level of water-resistance as the Galaxy S5. The power and volume buttons remain in the same location as the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 4.


These Galaxy S6 concept images show what the new Galaxy S smartphone could look like based on the current rumors. Samsung could always surprise us, but there is a very good chance the new phone will share an overall design with this realistic concept.

Inside the Galaxy S6 users can expect a Samsung Exynos processor and 3GB of RAM. YOu can count on Android Lollipop on board with a scaled down version of TouchWiz and options for 32GB, 64GB and 128GB of storage with a Micro SD card slot that handles up to a 128GB card.

The Galaxy S6 concept next to the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Alpha.

On the face of the Galaxy S6 expect an improved fingerprint sensor that lets users place a finger on the home button instead of swiping. This is similar to how the iPhone 6 fingerprint sensor works. Inside the device we may see support for LoopPay, which would let users pay using the Galaxy S6 at almost any point of sale with a magnetic card reader.

The Samsung Galaxy S6 launch is set for March 1st in Barcelona, Spain. Samsung will offer a live-stream of the event so that you can watch as it happens. Expect a speedy Galaxy S6 release date in the weeks after this event. We may see a U.S. Galaxy S6 release arrive on all major carriers for $199 to $249 on contract in April or May.

Apple Mac Mini (2014) Full review

The Good The Mac Mini is the least expensive OS X computer, and its performance is on par with Macs that cost twice as much.
The Bad Upgrades are expensive, and aftermarket upgrades are nearly impossible. Configuration options are not as extensive as previous versions of the Mac Mini, and a keyboard and mouse are not included.
The Bottom Line While its sealed-case limitations will turn off power users, Apple's least expensive Mac delivers a solid OS X experience in a compact box with similar performance to the entry-level MacBook Air and iMac 

There are only two ways to get a computer running OS X, but without a permanently attached display. One is Apple's most-expensive computer, the $2,999-and-up Mac Pro, the other is its least-expensive, the $499 Mac Mini. Other than those two bookends, Macs are all either MacBook laptops with clamshell designs, or all-in-one iMacs, with large screens on pivoting arms.

To get access to the features of OS X for same price as a standard iPad, you'll need to bring your own display, keyboard and mouse or trackpad. If you already have some or all of those, great; if not, the total cost can add up quickly, especially if you stick to Apple-branded accessories.

There are many Windows PCs that cost around the same, but nearly all are budget-minded, low-power plastic boxes that lack anything close to a premium feel. The entry level Mac Mini, while not especially powerful, has a unibody aluminum design and works about as well as a MacBook Air laptop (the components are very similar), which is one of our favorite computers.

But, underneath the matte aluminum chassis, there are a few areas where the current iteration of the Mac Mini may not work for you. The processor in the $499 model (£399 in the UK and AU$619 in Australia) is a dual-core, low-voltage fourth-generation Intel Core i5. Two more-expensive base configurations include faster Core i5 CPUs, with a dual-core Core i7 as a extra-cost add-on on top of that. But if you go back to the last major Mac Mini update from 2012, you'll find quad-core Core i7 chips, a more powerful option now missing.

The late 2014 update adds dual Thunderbolt ports and faster 802.11ac Wi-Fi (as found on the rest of the current Mac line), but the RAM, which was previously user-accessible, is now permanently soldered to the motherboard. In other words: no more post-purchase upgrades. Instead, you need to plan your upgrades at the time of purchase. And they're not cheap: a simple jump from the base 4GB to 8GB is an extra $100, and adding a 1TB Fusion drive (with both SSD and HDD hardware) costs $250 over the slower 5400rpm 500GB hard drive in the least-expensive configuration.


Sarah Tew/CNET
After a few fallow years, interest in small desktop PCs is ramping up, and the Mac Mini faces some interesting competition from Windows devices such as the Alienware Alpha and the HP Pavilion Mini, which can both be figured to cost around the same, although each has its own trade-offs. And that doesn't even include more affordable budget options like Chromebooks, "Chromebox" mini desktops and even full-fledged Windows laptops like the HP Stream 11, all of which can be had for about $200.

Apple enthusiasts hoping for a radically updated, future-proofed Mac Mini will be disappointed that the small steps forward in some areas are offset by what may be seen as backwards moves in others (especially for DIY upgraders). But for casual consumers looking for a basic desktop or a TV-connected multimedia PC, it's hard to imagine a more comprehensive, self-contained computer, especially one running OS X, for the price.

Microsoft to deliver free upgrades to Windows 10

Microsoft will offer free upgrades to Windows 10 -- the next version of its operating system -- first for Windows 8.1 users and then for Windows 7 users, the company announced Wednesday.

In the first year the software is available, the company will upgrade any devices running Windows 8 to Windows 10 for free, according to Terry Myerson, Microsoft's executive vice president of operating systems. The free upgrade will also apply to Windows 7 devices and Windows Phone 8.1 devices.
The free upgrade is only available for the first year. Microsoft has yet to announce the software's price for the upgrade after that one-year window.

"We think of Windows as a service," Myerson said during Microsoft's Windows 10 unveiling event in Redmond, Wash. "Now developers can target every single Windows device."

The move is likely designed to convince consumers that Windows is worth the effort. Windows 10 is an attempt to wipe the slate clean after missteps with Windows 8, including a new start menu that attracted complaints from PC users, who sorely missed the traditional menu.

More than half of all desktops in the world still run Windows 7. Almost 20 percent still run Windows XP, a 14-year-old operating system. Windows 8.1 has yet to reach 10 percent.

Hardware companies have increasingly been giving away software upgrades to keep their users tied to their ecosystems. Apple, for example, has made both its Mac OS and iOS free, as well as many of its productivity and photo management tools.

With Windows 10, Microsoft hopes it can inspire customers to seek out its products, rather than feeling like they have to use them.

How do electronic cigarettes work?

The electronic cigarette came onto the market in 2007 and today the sales have reached over $1 billion a year in the U.S alone. They have proven to be very popular amongst smokers; however we still don’t know just how safe the electronic cigarette is. Scientists did undertake a study internationally and this claimed that the vapour from an electronic cigarette contains anywhere from 9 to 450 times less toxins.

The various components of an electronic cigarette are typically assembled by screwing or pushing together. There is the LED light which glows during usage and it typically simulates the ember of a normal cigarette when inhaling and exhaling. There is a sensor inside the electronic cigarette which can detect the flow of air when an inhalation is made by the user. This tells the battery to turn on and the heating element is subsequently triggered. Some types of electronic cigarette are turned on and off by the use of a button, which the user presses and holds when they want to inhale the vapour.

There is a slim line battery and this is typically lithium-ion. The average amount of puffs, or inhalations, the user gets from a battery charge is around 300. The electricity is passed through a material that is resistant, which is typically made from metal or ceramic and this is what transfers the heat.

The heating element inside the electronic cigarette reaches around 150 degrees Fahrenheit which vaporizes around 0.005 millilitres of nicotine liquid, producing the vapour which is then inhaled by the user, just as they would when drawing on a cigarette. Each of these hits gives the user roughly 90% of the nicotine they would get when they were smoking a cigarette filled with tobacco.

The nicotine in the electronic cigarette is stored as a viscous fluid; this is generally either vegetable glycerine or propylene glycol or even a 50/50 mixture of both. This contains around 1% nicotine along with flavourings. These can either be fruit, menthol or even tobacco flavour. There are also weird and wonderful flavours to choose from, including anything from Coca-Cola to pina colada, apple pie and anything in between.

Finally there is the flexible tip which is put into the mouth, through which the user inhales the vapour. This is often made of silicone and in some cases it is designed to look and feel just like the filter on a real cigarette. Electronic cigarettes come in different sizes, just as you would get normal or king-size in tobacco cigarettes.


There are many accessories on the market to go with the electronic cigarettes, these typically include USB chargers, either cable like or made to look like the box that cigarettes are packaged in, which keep your electronic cigarettes charged up as the box itself is charged first. Other accessories include wallets and neck straps to hold the cigarette and even desktop holders.

How To Get Android KitKat Immersive Full-Screen Mode On Any Device

Android KitKat 4.4, introduced by Google late on last year, brought with it an abundance of useful features, but due to the fragmented nature of the ecosystem, not everybody on Android has been able to enjoy its numerous perks. In fact, only a very small fraction of the Droid-wielding faithful have tasted the chocolatey, delicious new flavor, but thanks to the dedication of a wider community, those on older firmware needn’t miss out on all of the new features. The Immersive Mode, for example, turns the process of using any one of you favorite apps into a full-screen experience, and now, thanks to a third-party app, you don’t need to be on KitKat 4.4 to take advantage.

Thanks to the endeavors of developer Pieter Pareit, Immersive Mode is no longer reserved only to those on Android 4.4 KitKat. Upon installation of his Play Store utility, you’ll be able to view apps without having to see on-screen buttons or the status bar. Not only does this provide more real estate for the content at hand, but it minimizes distractions, and also, presents a generally cleaner aesthetic with less unnecessary clutter.



Costing a very reasonable $1.37 on the Google Play Store (£0.82 for folks in the UK), the self-explanatory Immersive Full-Screen Mode will take full advantage of your device’s display real estate, and one of the most impressive aspects is that it doesn’t require root. There’s nothing wrong with acquiring root access, of course, since it opens up a world of unlimited possibilities and is something we actively encourage here at Redmond Pie, but it’s always nice when apps function with minimal hacking involved.

But while the fact that it works without root is certainly noteworthy, there are one or two limitations. Thanks largely to Android’s own security measures, you won’t be able to use your device’s keyboard in a number of apps when in Immersive Mode, so obviously, it’s only going to be useful in situations where a keyboard isn’t necessary.

It’s a bit of a shame that the keyboard is hindered in this manner, and takes some of the sheen off what is otherwise a polished experience. Still, if you can see some value in a full-screen option that caters to most apps, be sure to check the link below.

Get the lock screen in iOS last 7 Powered iPhone With ConceptLS

Lock screens are largely a personal matter. What a person thinks is absolute perfection , another may call ugly and arrogant. We are big fans of minimalist lock screen by Redmond Pie, but this does not mean that there are many people out there who want all the options known to man that is available from that they become your screen. Be able to modify iOS to do exactly what you want , that's what jailbreaking is all about , after all.

This futuristic and minimalist look that we, the fans are out in force with ConceptLS iOS 7, a lock screen powered Cydget take iOS relatively boring 7 solution and turns his head , instead of offering something that looks and feels much more alive all Apple came up with .

While the complete overhaul of the iOS lock screen 7 have been around for some time , making ConceptLS stand out from the crowd is that it does not need to be messed with to make function . Often these parameters are accompanied by instructions that involve connecting to the device via SSH, then play with all kinds of files. Nothing to do with ConceptLS , and we are more than grateful.


As for features, ConceptLS no shortage of those. There is a theme in black and white to begin with the support of BytaFont 2 cases. Weather options include the ability to change where time is checked and changed if it is displayed in Celsius or Fahrenheit. These options are often prime candidates for the need to edit a file on the phone, but not for iOS ConceptLS 7 !

The activation of the new lock screen is easy, too . Just go to Settings> Cydget > Lock Cydget order, then ConceptLS .




























course, none of this caliber come for free, and ConceptLS iOS 7 is no different . If you want to get into the action , then you must give up to $ 2.99 for the MacCiti repo in Cydia , which in our case is a pittance considering the amount of work that must be done to make this .

Come on, we shut screen is probably one of the most used parts of iOS - $ 3 is nothing to make it look so good!

Samsung to show 105-inch Curved UHD TV at CES

With a greater number of TVs than you could shake a stick at, Samsung’s booth at the CES 2013 was really amazing, and now that the CES 2014 is just around the corner, we are having the same expectations from Samsung this time around. Their booth is expected to be the same this time as well. The company has recently made an announcement confirming that it is going to be bringing out the 105-inch curved UHD TV to CES 2014 which is around two weeks away.

The TV has been names as the “most curved” 105 inch TV by Samsung and this must be giving a little counter to LG with its own 105-inch curved TV which was announced earlier this week. The 21:9 aspect ratio on this new TV by Samsung is similar to what has been featured on the 105 inch TV by LG. Moreover, the display itself boasts 11 million pixels for a screen resolution of 5120 x 2160.

How to remove a short cut virus from your Flash drive or your Drive

If you did not format your flash drive, then check whether the files are not in

hidden mode. Follow the following steps.




Step 1: 

Click on the below link and download the file "AutorunExterminator"

http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-11613-autorun-exterminator

Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" --> Plug your flash drive now.

This will remove the autorun.inf files from your flash drive and also from drives.

Step 2: 

Click on "Start" -->Run --> type cmd and click on OK.

Here I assume your flash drive letter as G:

Enter this command.

attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.* 

You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and

paste it.

Note : Don't forget to replace the letter g with your flash drive letter.

Now press "Enter".

Now check for your files in Flash Drive.


Note:-  cmd it say's "access denied" 

Chances are, you have to run "cmd" as an administrator. When you click on the start menu, search for "cmd" in the search field, then right click and "run as administrator". Then use the same command (attrib ...) and it should work fine (other than not being able to change permissions for the "system volume information" directory). 


Make sure the original infected file gets deleted / quarantined or you may end up having the same issues later on.

Step 3: 

After that, download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from the below link

http://en.kioskea.net/download/download-105-malwarebytes-anti-malware

Update it --> Perform "Full Scan"

Note : Default selected option is "Quick Scan".

Good Luck. Share it with your friends :)

What Is WiFi?

A wireless network uses radio waves, just like cell phones, televisions and radios do. In fact, communication across a wireless network is a lot like two-way radio communication. Here's what happens:

A computer's wireless adapter translates data into a radio signal and transmits it using an antenna.

A wireless router receives the signal and decodes it. The router sends the information to the Internet using a physical, wired Ethernet connection.

The process also works in reverse, with the router receiving information from the Internet, translating it into a radio signal and sending it to the computer's wireless adapter.

The radios used for WiFi communication are very similar to the radios used for walkie-talkies, cell phones and other devices. They can transmit and receive radio waves, and they can convert 1s and 0s into radio waves and convert the radio waves back into 1s and 0s. But WiFi radios have a few notable differences from other radios:

They transmit at frequencies of 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. This frequency is considerably higher than the frequencies used for cell phones, walkie-talkies and televisions. The higher frequency allows the signal to carry more data.

They use 802.11 networking standards, which come in several flavors:

802.11a transmits at 5 GHz and can move up to 54 megabits of data per second. It also usesorthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), a more efficient coding technique that splits that radio signal into several sub-signals before they reach a receiver. This greatly reduces interference.

802.11b is the slowest and least expensive standard. For a while, its cost made it popular, but now it's becoming less common as faster standards become less expensive. 802.11b transmits in the 2.4 GHz frequency band of the radio spectrum. It can handle up to 11 megabits of data per second, and it usescomplementary code keying (CCK) modulation to improve speeds.

802.11g transmits at 2.4 GHz like 802.11b, but it's a lot faster -- it can handle up to 54 megabits of data per second. 802.11g is faster because it uses the same OFDM coding as 802.11a.

802.11n is the most widely available of the standards and is backward compatible with a, b and g. It significantly improved speed and range over its predecessors. For instance, although 802.11g theoretically moves 54 megabits of data per second, it only achieves real-world speeds of about 24 megabits of data per second because of network congestion. 802.11n, however, reportedly can achieve speeds as high as 140 megabits per second. 802.11n can transmit up to four streams of data, each at a maximum of 150 megabits per second, but most routers only allow for two or three streams.

802.11ac is the newest standard as of early 2013. It has yet to be widely adopted, and is still in draft form at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), but devices that support it are already on the market. 802.11ac is backward compatible with 802.11n (and therefore the others, too), with n on the 2.4 GHz band and ac on the 5 GHz band. It is less prone to interference and far faster than its predecessors, pushing a maximum of 450 megabits per second on a single stream, although real-world speeds may be lower. Like 802.11n, it allows for transmission on multiple spatial streams -- up to eight, optionally. It is sometimes called 5G WiFi because of its frequency band, sometimes Gigabit WiFi because of its potential to exceed a gigabit per second on multiple streams and sometimes Very High Throughput (VHT) for the same reason.

Other 802.11 standards focus on specific applications of wireless networks, like wide area networks (WANs) inside vehicles or technology that lets you move from one wireless network to another seamlessly.

WiFi radios can transmit on any of three frequency bands. Or, they can "frequency hop" rapidly between the different bands. Frequency hopping helps reduce interference and lets multiple devices use the same wireless connection simultaneously.

As long as they all have wireless adapters, several devices can use one router to connect to the Internet. This connection is convenient, virtually invisible and fairly reliable; however, if the router fails or if too many people try to use high-bandwidth applications at the same time, users can experience interference or lose their connections. Although newer, faster standards like 802.11ac could help with that.
