Everyone is jumping on the cloud bandwagon. We’re seeing Kingston deliver wirelessly connected media devices, which aren’t truly on the cloud, but nevertheless demonstrate the market’s shift towards removing wires. One class of device which remain untouched in this wireless revolution are camera. Cameras still need cables to connect to computers, or a manual removal of storage cards to transfer data. Fortunately, this will change. TP Link has just delivered a wireless camera, the NC200, that connects and transmits data via the cloud. The NC200 doubles up a security camera that can send live feed to you anywhere in the…

At first, you might think Jupiter Ascending is some space exploration flick involving the planet Jupiter. You’d be partly right. Jupiter Ascending does involve space and the universe, but not specifically Jupiter. Jupiter is simply the name of the protagonist. Written, produced and directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski, the sci-fi flick involves a very unique concept about life on earth, though the plots are mostly predictable. Plot Something that will make you wonder is the possibility of the concept of the movie which portrays that we, humans might be unaware of the fact that there could be several other planets with inhabitants…
Alright, fan boys. It’s 2015 and we still don’t have the flying cars we all thought would populate the skies, and encapsulate us. But you know what we do have? Cars which can practically drive themselves and can, in the near future, complete our daily errands without us having to break a sweat and deal with the complications of knee problems due to horrible stand still traffic. Imagine cars which can drive you to your destination, while you entertain (and frustrate) yourself with a game of Flappy Bird. This may not be known to you, but these cars are already…
Last week we covered SpaceVR’s ambitious goals for bringing space to the masses. This week, there have been some additional developments in the field and additions to the team. To refresh your memory, SpaceVR was founded by Ryan Holmes and Isaac DeSouza, who are leading the effort to bring space down here on Earth, with virtual reality. This innovation will introduce a new age technological development, a 360 degree, 3D camera set onto the International Space Station which can be used on any compatible VR device. The company aims to start off with the ISS based VR this year and by 2022, we should head…
Put aside philosophy and think in biological terms – the purpose of life is to reproduce. Every species exists only to further its kind. Since every organism must eventually die, there’s got to be some way of preserving the species. That’s the core process of reproduction. But why not have a single organism live forever instead? Ever stopped to think how different things would be if Death didn’t exist? Imagine immortal individuals. While it sounds awesome, it isn’t a very prudent idea in terms of biology. An individual may not naturally die, but it could be killed, or fall prey to disease.…
Before we address the aforementioned question, let’s first try to answer this question and understand where we stand in the field of Nanotechnology. Let’s begin with what is Nanotechnology and why do we need to understand and focus on this. Well… to begin with Nanotechnology is an emerging field of science dealing with substances or materials in the ‘nano’ or nanometer range. One nanometer is equal to 10-9 meter. From this, you can easily get an idea of the range of size of the particles dealt with in Nanotechnology. Nanotechnology basically deals with the methods of manipulating matter on an…
On 6th April 2010, a group of eight partners, including Lei Jun, present CEO, founded an electronics company – Xiaomi Inc., in Beijing, China. Today, twelve years later, Xiaomi and Xiaomi Subsidiaries are the world’s third-largest smartphone manufacturers after Samsung and Apple. The full history of Xiaomi starts from the name itself.

According to him, ‘Xiao’ of Xiaomi is part of the Buddhist concept in which a single grain…
To put things simply, bioelectronics is simply the combination of biology and electronics. Biology’s association with electronics isn’t new by any timeline. We’ve had medical imaging techniques as well as the invention of pacemaker. Over the past several generations, electronic devices have been leading revolutions in the field of biology and medicine. The first reference to bioelectronics, published in 1912, focused on measurement of electrical signals generated by the body, which is the basis of the electrocardiogram. In the 1960s two new trends in bioelectronics began to appear. One trend, enabled by the invention of the transistor, centered on the development of…
Mars is undeniably our most famous celestial object. The red planet is a constant center of attention for both scientists and space enthusiasts. A major reason this is so is because of the planet’s striking similarities with Earth. While we’ve sent a lot of robots to Mars to learn more, someday, humans too will set foot on the red planet. NASA has put together an interesting infographic that combines many fun facts of Mars into one place. Check it out:
We had big news in the form of the infamous iCloud hack earlier this year – where personal photos of certain female celebrities were let loose on the public. In related news, Sex Tape is now out on DVD and Blu-Ray, courtesy Sony DADC. The movie has some undesirable iCloud involvement as well. Featuring Jason Segel as Jay and Cameron Diaz as Annie, Sex Tape takes us through the life of the young couple – right from their college days to their current reasonably settled phase. Bedroom action is lacking – and to space that up, the two film themselves…
