The Glass Google may control different devices around us in the future

Apparently,  Google has been a striking patent indicating that one day Glass glasses could eventually be used to control various devices that are around us. What kind of devices?For various types, including also appliances. Photocopiers, coffee makers, alarm systems, garage doors, televisions and even refrigerators are some of the things we could get to grips with the Glass.

Apparently, this exciting technology will be able to function on its own. What I mean by this? So for example, when we are in the car coming home and relocate Glass glasses, it is possible that our garage door open automatically without even a word or action on our part. After entering the garage and leave our car, the door would be closed by order alone glasses. Obviously this technology would not work with any device or system. Products will have to be very advanced and capable of handling different connectivities like Bluetooth, WiFi, NFC, etc..

What do you think? Will Google goggles become as great as promised?

Watch this sauna that uses infrared technology

A technological sauna? Exactly, that's the Health Mate, a sauna that uses the technology to heat the room while cleaning our body to free it of toxins. Instead of water and hot rocks, the Health Mate uses infrared to heat things up.
Sang Lee, vice president of PLH Products, the company that created the Health Mate says that traditional saunas make you feel warmer because the vapor sticks to our skin, but to get real benefits to our health, he recommends infrared technology.
After the body absorbs infrared heat for 25 minutes, enters the cooling period, when detoxification occurs and it is during the last 15 minutes of the cooling period when toxins really leave us.
Apart from this, the sauna offers a miniespectáculos thanks to its LED lights that change color, which also serves as a kind of vision therapy.
The price of one of these saunas can be up to $ 5,000 if you want to have one at home.

RIM: end of fall or will stand?

In about five weeks, the world will see if one of the giants of the market for mobile phones in the last two decades does stand or fall finish after having encountered a couple of years ago. The phones of RIM have not been what many expected and its technology has been somewhat "short", and while the company still has some loyal followers, the BlackBerry market share has plummeted since the arrival of iOS and Android. Many complained when RIM announced that BB10 would be launched only in 2013, but what if the wait really worth it? If the company takes the time to make your new platform to work properly, then it could be the rope that will pull the pit in which they find themselves.
It's easy to say that iOS and Android BlackBerry crushed, but certainly we all like good returns and RIM may have chosen a perfect time to return. It will be the only company to introduce a new platform in the first quarter of 2013 and it seems that many are willing to give the manufacturer a new opportunity.
Another point is also key to the victory possible RIM: international sales. The market U.S., UK, China and Japan is large, but we must not forget the rest of the world's countries and continents like Africa where RIM devices still continue to sell quite well. Perhaps RIM fails to conquer the few large markets, but you can still try to conquer the hundreds of small markets.
As noted above, in only five weeks we'll know.

What is the most corrupt government in the world?

Occasionally we include in the occasional blog article that has no direct relationship with technology, but in this case maybe it has it indirectly. Specifically it is a study by Transparency International that gives a score to each country in the world according to their level of corruption. The points to be taken into account to assess each country are cases of bribery, speculation, nepotism and corruption and dirty dealings in the public sector.


The end result may not surprise many, but I think the results in the country where I live are really optimistic. Yet you get the big picture and you realize something important: the first world countries, the richest and most prosperous have lower levels of corruption, just the opposite in the third world countries. The main problem is that the only ones who can remove corruption in a country are corrupt governing them, so it's a bottomless pit right? If your country does not appear in the graphics still look complete ranking in the world rankings by country here.

Details of future Intel processors

Haswell is the name of the new family of Intel processors which was announced in last September but of which we know little or nothing. Recently leaked a document detailing more of the processors that will be part of this new line of high technology .

The line Haswell will, at least, with 14 different processor models and all designed for computer desktops. First place takes it a 3.5GHz Core i7 model able to reach 3.9GHz with Boorst Mode. It is a quad-core CPU with eight threads.
The great line Haswell will continue to include 22nm process used to manufacture the current Ivy Bridge processors, but otherwise implement a new microarchitecture to improve performance. It seems that the company has also made adjustments for integrated cards, which will now be a Intel HD 4600.
As stated also the first processor of this new family will be coming to market between April and June 2013.
Remember that none of this has been confirmed yet, so I can make things very different.

The world without electricity

Can you imagine a world without electricity, and therefore virtually no technology ? We depend on it for almost everything and if we did not have no doubt that a lot of things would stop working, not to mention surely unleash panic around the globe because many would not be prepared.
But why suddenly we're talking about a world without electricity? In these last days we have been making notes about the three days of darkness in 2012 , also mentioned various theories on December 21, 2012 and even talk about what to do during the 3 days of darkness . It happens, as you already know all that is said on December 21, a solar storm or a similar phenomenon will leave the planet without power for 72 hours. Living in the dark is one thing, but could become worse if the event that destroys our electricity networks across the globe, which would take years to be restored. What would the Earth if we had no electricity? If anyone has seen the Revolution series can then get a good idea of ​​what might happen, but if not, here are some possibilities shuffle.
Imagine instantly stay without mobile, no electricity, no computer , no Internet, no vehicle to move, without heating, etc.. There is no doubt that we have become too dependent on technology. Finally, we find so much technology here and there has made us less independent beings and in turn more materialistic. The problem here would be that we have a lot of technology, but the technology did not use it properly. Technological development has driven mankind for generations and has led us to where we are today.
With no electricity the world would be plunged into chaos as we have said, it is likely that governments fall rapidly due to the lack of technology to accomplish their tasks. Who would be in power then? Well there are two possibilities: one, which would leave many nations in a state of anarchy, or citizens choose someone to guide them in this new life.
We would also see many things in the world that abounded centuries ago, such as large sailboats, people would start to use more farm animals, the horse would be the primary means of transportation along with steam trains . Coal once again occupy its position as the world's No. 1 fuel. Probably also would have to resort to using candles lighting and fire as occurred for thousands of years.
The manufacture of medicaments totally change, people having to resort to more traditional medicines. Certain medical instruments also would be useful, which would see a greater number of patients. By becoming a little less materialistic, it is likely that people begin to reject the money and precious metals, opting for the old system of barter to get what they need.
In short, the lifestyle probably fall back to about 1850, though of course with some differences.
What do you think about this? How do you imagine the world without electricity?

New contact lenses let you read the messages we send

Ever occur to you read a text message or an e-mail in the shower using your smartphone ? Probably not, at least that it is resistant to water, of course. As soon read messages and emails in this way without your smartphone, because instead of it you can use a new type of contact lens that is the work of modern technology .
A Belgian group of researchers and developers have developed an LCD screen and miniature size curve that can be placed on a contact lens. While similar attempts failed in the past, this time we think it will become a reality.
In addition, this new type of lenses also have other uses and will function as a pair of sunglasses to suit sunlight on where we are. If there is plenty of sunlight, the lenses will become darker, and obviously the opposite will occur if the level of sunlight decreases.
This past year, the Glass of Google have been the center of attention as far as regards tech lenses and even Apple has registered a patent to create a similar device.

So are the bulbs of the future

Scientists have developed a new type of light bulbs that are likely to be the replacement of existing fluorescent light bulbs that are used in homes and commercial spaces.
A team at Wake Forest University said on Monday that have created a new type of bulb that is twice as effective as modern and also has none of the negatives of these. These new bulbs are based on a technology electroluminicente polymer that emits a soft white light, so that the environment will not have to get the yellow glow of some fluorescent bulbs (or if some blue LEDs).
To develop these new bulbs, the team had to resort to nanoengineering, creating a model of three polymer layers are joined using a nanomaterial. When the material is stimulated, creating a smooth shine and pleasant white light.
Is planned to go on sale next year.

This filter is used to recreate a color image from a grayscale captured, and before it was invented, this process was highly complex.

 

In the 1990s, Bayer put aside his old company, Kodak, and continued with his life until recently. Undoubtedly it will be remembered, as if you can place your name (or name) to something that is used even more than 30 years after it was invented, it's because you've accomplished something that many have never been.

Digits, the sensor from Microsoft that makes the gestures of our hands into 3D models

Voice commands allow us to do many things in our smartphone , but first need you to press a button to activate them. We can use voice commands to start applications, call someone and even to send a new tweet. What if you could do all this without even having to touch the device?
Digits is a new modern sensor technology created by Microsoft and it is placed on our wrist. This allows us to control small electronic devices through the gestures of our hands. The sensor creates a 3D model of your hand in real time and it is expected that one day we can use it to change channels on the TV, make calls and even play games .
Digits LED uses infrared sensors to detect hand movements and pass our three-dimensional space.
While the sensor still has a long way to go, I wonder how it will achieve differentiate gestures we make voluntarily and those without. Any idea?

Samsung could be testing a smartphone with 3GB RAM

In the picture above we are seeing what is said, is the prototype testing a new model of mobile phone. While the device says "3GB" and not "3GB", was confirmed by a source that what we are seeing, is without a doubt of a smartphone with 3GB of RAM, which would make it the first of its kind . The same source also said that Samsung has decided to remove the home button, changing the design.
The truth is that not much is known about it. It seems that these prototypes are being tested and the final version (or the final version) would be coming to market next year. Nor do we know if it is the future Samsung Galaxy S IV or a new model of Galaxy Nexus.
What we did not fully convece is as follows: 3GB of RAM. Obviously, the more RAM the better, but this amount of memory is not necessary since even current smartphones work perfectly 1GB and 2GB models cases could count on the fingers.
What do you think about this? Why Samsung wants to improve technology using 3GB of RAM? Hopefully you have something great in hand, but if so we will learn not officially until next year.
