Google’s Project Ara is about more than just modular phones  four people from the Project Ara team at Google I/O to extract as much information as I could about the mission to actually launch a modular phone. So I rattled off as many questions as I could at a rat-a-tat pace, and the Ara team had answers for nearly all of them. Not every answer will please the people who have been waiting for this modular phone for several years now, but nearly all of them make sense from a business perspective. If there's one thing I took away from my time, it's this: the goal is to turn Ara into a real business inside Google. And if Google can pull off the phone business, it will want to expand the Ara module ecosystem into other areas, too.  Ara is going to be the  first ever phone that Google is making itself  (it has already made laptops and a tablet, among other things). And even though what I saw last week was just a prototype, it was working well enough that I believe ...

HP just officially made backpack VR computers a trend HP's recently launched Omen gaming line will soon include a high-end PC that's also a backpack, designed for walking around in virtual reality. Because we live in a strange world, this is becoming far less unusual than it sounds. The unnamed backpack PC (technically part of a premium "Omen X" line) is apparently a work in progress, with HP set to start testing some demo units in about a month. The specs are vaguely similar to other VR-ready desktop PCs: it's got a new Intel Core i5 or i7 processor, up to 32GB of memory, and a graphics card that's still unknown. But the whole thing is crammed into the equivalent of a slender day pack that HP promises weighs under 10 pounds — the weight of  a hefty VR-ready gaming laptop  like Acer's Predator 17X. A pair of fans will dispel heat, and the waist belt incorporates two batteries that power the CPU and graphics card separately. ...

Mobile Learning: Revolutionising The Way You Learn Why Mobile Learning? In the recent years, there has been an evident shift from formal classroom-based learning to informal e-learning. Such transformation has been possible due to the flexible approach that mobile learning provides as a concept. In other words, when we talk about mobile learning positive perceptions like independence, empowerment and engagement spring to our minds. As a result, it gives learners the confidence to utilise information and learning materials from anywhere at any time. Gone are the days when learners used to be restricted to classroom and PC learning, now it is all about learning on the go! Mobile Learning the Future of Education Combining technology and education has proven to go a long way. For the reason that, we as humans tend to have a great tendency towards concepts which accomplish our needs with great ease. Taking this into account, mobile learning successfully accomplishes this, as...

  As powerful and smart as Cortana is, there are certain things she can’t yet do, such as managing, and switching between desktop windows, or navigate within certain applications. Windows 10’s Speech Recognition application has initially introduced in Windows Vista, and has since matured into a pretty decent enhancement to Cortana, with abilities that go beyond text input and weather information. Windows Speech Recognition is capable of many system tasks, such as managing and switching between desktop windows, summoning certain system applications, and even shutting down Windows. It’s also important to understand that the reliability of both Cortana and Windows Speech Recognition is heavily dependent on the quality of the microphone available, as well as environmental noise affecting the ability of the service to understand human speech. The first step to go completely, or almost completely hands-free on Windows 10, is to enable Cortana to constantly listen. This can...

Microsoft may have just taken the first step to committing to the idea of a Surface Phone. The tech giant has recently announced the sale of its feature phone business assets, to Foxconn subsidiary FIH Mobile Ltd, for $350 million dollars, which also includes the acquisition of Microsoft Mobile Vietnam’s manufacturing facility in Hanoi, Vietnam. According to the official statement, Microsoft will continue supporting Lumia handsets, including the Lumia 650, 950, and 950XL, as well and OEM partners smartphones Alcatel, Acer, HP, VAIO, and more. The important bit of the announcement, hinges on the fact that Microsoft is also including brands and trademark assets, to FIH Mobile, in a move that suggests a detachment of Microsoft from the Lumia brand. What’s next for Microsoft Mobile? This comes as no surprise to those in the loop of the rumors surrounding , a device alleged to have been in the works for years. The device has been rumored as the next step in Microsoft...

WHY LINEAR ACTUATORS HAVE BECOME SO POPULAR ? The conversion of energy into motion requires the usage of actuators which typically use electric current, hydraulic fluid pressure or pneumatic pressure as its source of power. Linear actuators converts rotational motion into linear motion in contrary to the circular motion of a conventional electric motor. The use of   electric linear actuator s , AC or DC power as source of power to run an electric motor, are the most preferred choice due to their advantages and also by far the most predominant compared to other actuators. Modern offices are now embracing the use of linear motion technologies to ensure there are proper designs that result in a good working environment. This is because linear actuators provide accurate motion control for repeated movement and controlled precision movement thus, providing a safe, quiet, and clean movement inside company offices. They are used in synchronizing the load, positions, or ...
