All the way back in 2011 when HTML5 was beginning to drip into mainstream usage, computer experts were pondering whether the new and advanced follow up to HTML4 would change the internet as we know it. The old format had been in existence since 1997 and, although it was constantly updated and tweaked, there was no complete overhaul for more than 15 years. Now that HTML5 has been out officially since 2014, is there still a chance that it could spell the end of mobile apps and render them obsolete? The main advantage of HTML5 is the cross-platform capability of it. Rather…

On the first day of August this year, Bitcoin – the world’s most valuable (and popular) cryptocurrency might witness what its community calls a ‘hard fork’. A hard fork is what you call a permanent change in how the blockchain stores its data – new rules are enforced that cannot be read or accepted by older nodes on the Bitcoin network. It isn’t necessarily something to be worried about – but this particular hard fork seems to be having issues with consensus in the community. Something like the Y2K bug – where the world was hurtling towards a deadline and…

“Razer OSVR Open-Source Virtual Reality f” (CC BY 2.0) by pestoverde With virtual reality expected to be the next big thing in the world of technology, online casino software developers are desperately scrambling to think of original products for the new platform. The casino games industry has traditionally adapted very quickly to big changes in tech landscapes, as shown with slots going electric in the ’70s and then later moving to an online format with the advent of the internet. Big things are expected from VR. Will sites look towards creating a fully virtual casino or is this a stretch too far? Online…

Do you want to record the sounds that are coming from your Mac that you’re listening to using your speakers? Needless to say if you were able to record that you could save any music that you happened across and liked, or record the audio from Skype calls, or even save part of a game or movie soundtrack. Assuming you’re interested in something like that then the one thing you need is Movavi Screen Capture Studio for Mac. Despite the fact that its name suggests that it is a software for recording your screen (which it is), it also can…

Linear stages are an integral part of any high-precision motion system, whether that system is designed for automated liquid handling or assembling small components. But even if these stages are part of fully automated systems, they’re still susceptible to errors. Here are some of the 5 most common ones: Backlash Error As the name suggests, a backlash error happens while trying to reverse the direction that the linear stage is traveling in. The end result? The stage can end up with no change in position in relation to the commanded motion. The portion of commanded motion with no movement is…

Miniature linear actuators are devices that perform mechanical motion by transforming a wide variety of forms of energy into motorised energy. The leading manufacturers of these devices include Del-Tron Precision, Inc., Bishop-Wisecarver Corporation, Tolomatic and Venture Mfg. Co, Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, Inc. and Parker Hannifin-Electromechanical Division. Actuators are practically used in almost all types of machinery used today. Miniature linear actuator These actuators are usually a section of motion controlled systems in assembly processes used by NASA. Most of them are controlled by computers although the simple ones can be mechanically powered by hand. Intense spacecraft tests have been run on NASA’s Orion…

Has your Mac been taking longer to load recently? Well, that’s probably because your Apple device requires a good ol’ clean up. There is nothing more infuriating than a slow Mac especially if you’re trying to carry out a highly technical research for your place of work, or if you’re trying to create a scientific presentation. For instance, how would you feel if you were reading an extremely complicated paper on say, brain prints or the effects of radiation on the human DNA, and your Mac suddenly crashes? Well, don’t worry- technological advancement now allows you to eradicate any threats that could be slowing your system…

Now that major companies such as Apple and Google have all established smart home technology, the connected smart home revolution should start going with the pace. To prepare you for the coming revolution of the newly developed home kit such as linear motion products, this section has picked the smart home ideas that are important for you to know. Actuator An actuator can be described as a general term for mechanisms that is triggered into action by sensors. For example, security camera that is usually set off by motion detectors. Airplay This is a technology that was launched in 2010.This…

Sci-Fi has always been a fascinating genre of movies to watch, and 2013’s Gravity and the 2015 Hollywood flick, Nolan’s most ambitious movie –  Interstellar top the list when it comes to comparing two of the best sci-fi movies in recent times. Apart from state-of-the-art visuals, the star-studded cast and directors who have more than just carved a niche for themselves in Hollywood, what are those factors that have made Gravity vs Interstellar a subject of a detailed post here today?
