Apple is interested in AMOLED screens

 

Apple's Retina Display is just great and provides excellent graphic quality. Now this type of display could be improved and that Apple has hired a former employee of LG AMOLED expert.

According to a recent report, Dr. Lee Jeung-jil just been recruited by the company on the block to join their ranks. The main reason is the large research OLED / AMOLED Jeung-jil he made while working with LG. He also led the development of LCD screens a long time while working with Samsung. Currently, Jeung-jil is one of the foremost experts in the world OLED screens.

The purpose for which Apple has hired not yet entirely clear, although it is obvious that the company plans to create a new screen or perhaps improve an existing one, as in the case of the Retina. It is also likely to be responsible for the development of Apple rumored TV screen.

For what purpose do you think Apple has hired this expert?

Samsung Galaxy 8.0 will be available in different versions

 

We have learned that Samsung is planning to launch a 8-inch Galaxy Note will be a smaller version of the Galaxy Note 10.1. Previously I have been able to see some photos of poor quality of Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, as they prefer to call it, but what we just heard is that the device will be available in several versions, so the prospective buyer can choose the best meets their needs.

Versions to which we refer are not memory or colors (which probably has) but connectivities. The GT-N5100 will feature Wi-Fi + 3G GT-N5110 model will have only Wi-Fi and the GT-N5105 have Wi-Fi + 3G + LTE. It is known that the three models will be launched in Europe, but it is unclear if they also reach all the other markets of the world.

To refresh her ​​memory, Samsung is expected to present the Note 8.0 at MWC 2013. The tablet will feature a quad-core processor at 1.6GHz, have 2GB of RAM, a 5 megapixel camera, 4.600mAh battery and microSD reader. Regarding your screen has a resolution of 1280 × 800 pixels and operating system used is Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Did I mention it comes with an S Pen?

A look at Microsoft Surface Pro

 

The Surface Pro is an enhanced version of the popular Microsoft tablet. Will succeed where his predecessor failed? First we have to get a good look to review it.

The Surface Pro is one of the most anticipated tablets this first quarter for the simple reason that it promises to be a tablet in which Windows 8 Pro can run smoothly and completely fluid, something that Microsoft plans to use against the rest of the industry, although many doubt that it is quite effective.

The screen is also Surface Pro 10.6-inch Surface as the original, but in this case has Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Under his case we can find an Intel Core i5 which is accompanied by 4GB of RAM. The tablet comes in two different storage capacities: 64GB and 128GB. The battery has a capacity of 42Wh, while the main chamber is about 1 megapixel device like the front.

The Surface Pro is a tablet that seems to be well equipped and have the technology to become a winner, only to be seen how she will go on the market as the months progress.

Apple could launch the iPhone 5S with the iPhone 6

 

A Chinese website focusing on the mobile phone industry claims to know the existence of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S, all thanks to Apple's suppliers. It is further said that both smartphones could be released near the end of the year. Apple has yet to officially confirm the existence of the two devices, which have already heard rumors before. What's really funny about all this is the course of the launch period smartphones: it really strange that Apple launched both terminals during the same quarter a year or few months apart.

Reportedly, the iPhone 5S very reminiscent of its predecessor, while the iPhone 6 is a lighter and thinner device. Besides this, it has a much larger screen which is 5 inches. This could be a logical explanation for something that the two phones are launched almost simultaneously as the 5S would have a 4-inch screen like the iPhone 5. If so, consumers could choose between a standard screen and a somewhat larger, as they become more comfortable.

Apple needs to steal a big chunk of market share to Android and perhaps this is the way in which you plan to do. We will have to wait and see.

Google goggles you will hear sound directly into your head

 

Google goggles (Google Glass) have become famous even before being officially released and it looks like you are still adding features here and there to iron out the product before putting it on sale. The last one is quite interesting because it seems that the glasses will be able to send sounds directly to your head.
Instead of including a classic speakers, it seems that the glasses would be equipped with a vibration system that would act on the bones of your skull using them as amplification system. Say you would hear voices in your head the without external speakers or headphones and no one out there could hear what you're listening to.
The idea is rather curious on several levels, not only because it increases the level of privacy even while listening to music or someone during a telephone conversation. Besides that the device becomes lighter and more like ordinary glasses without attaching bulky headphones.
So far it seems that Google have patented the idea under the name of 'integral vibratory audio provides the user through the user's head.' A rather long name while descriptive.
Will have to see what other inventions added to the glasses before its release, but still many doubt it really ends up becoming a popular gadget to the level of a smartphone or tablet. Time will tell.

Video capture in shaping thinking in a brain

 

At the National Institute of Genetics in Japan have been devoted recently to try to capture in a video which would be a thought taking shape in a brain. Although at first it may seem almost mystical in reality it is an animation showing how neurons are being activated as a thought occurs in the brain of a zebra fish .
The thinking in question is identified and is quite primary. Basically put something that looks like fish food nearby and captured the instant you saw, possibly wondering if that was floating around food or not.
To get impregnated zebrafish brain with a fluorescent substance that activates when there is some kind of neural activity. Then they recorded the video you can see a little further down in this article.
The basic idea of ​​this experiment is to learn about the neural circuits and how neurons are activated, but the second part is more disturbing. They could create a database containing all activating neural circuits in the zebrafish in different circumstances. Then, glancing at the brain of this fish could get to know what he's thinking every time you submit a neuronal firing pattern determined. The next logical step and know what is applied to humans so that someday someone can know everything that you think with a simple brain scan.

U.S. plans a super-public wireless network throughout the country, free and ultra fast 20Mb

 

In U.S. is planning something which could be the next logical evolutionary step in Internet access: WiFi network that would operate nationally regardless of the place where you are, free and also reaching speeds that would normally only find on ADSL networks and fiber optics.
Apparently the idea has come from the same U.S. government from the Federal Communications Commission , the agency charged with regulating telecommunications in the country and based on installing a giant Wi-Fi network covering the whole country.
The direct benefits are many facing the city because it would be an effective way to provide universal Internet access literally. No matter what level you have economic or secluded place where you live, you could always have access to this network.
On the opposite side are also problems. The first is the logical opposition of the leading providers of Internet access in the country that would like their clientele would disappear overnight.
The second point (theoretically) negative is to put the system in place would have to use part of the wave frequencies currently occupied by television signals (some will say that this is an extra edge). Moreover, the TV as we know it seems destined to disappear. Perhaps a future boost to television programs broadcast exclusively over the Internet.
We talked to do not much of tec.nologia.com networks to 100Gbps with a range of 200km action designed by DARPA, so the idea would not be too far from reality. The big question that will surely be doing that if the idea is eventually exported outside the U.S., especially if you live in countries where regulatory agencies seem more concerned to maintain the economic benefits of the big phone companies.

The new mini spy drones army shaped miniature helicopter

 

New technologies are leading to a point where increasingly harder to differentiate fact from fiction. If you look at the picture below you can see how a soldier held in his hand a small drone drone, from there you ask yourself is the scene of a movie or something real? The answer is that it's a British soldier using the latest technology in recognition systems: you are in battle and your staff drone enters enemy lines to take a look and send various information and even videos of the area.
The mini-drone is officially called 'Black Hornet', is made by a Norwegian company called Prox Dynamics, measures only 10 cm high, has 16 grams of weight and she looks like a mini-helicopter toy, ie You can easily carry it for use in the time when you need it and send in a reconnaissance mission without the enemy knows she is being watched.
Despite its small size it has inside of a number of mini-gadgets designed to spy on the enemy without realizing it, and positioning system that lets you know its location and place to be targeted include a camera that can take pictures and videos and send them in real time.
Currently has already been successfully tested in Afghanistan by the British army was the first to incorporate it as a monitoring system in practice.
The advantage over larger drones known is that it requires a large infrastructure to run or several operators who are responsible for their operation and maintenance. A single person can use to perform tasks of espionage, reconnaissance, exploration, patrol, etc..
The most pessimistic (or realistic) view it as a step towards an Orwellian world, maybe one day you see more of these mini-drones flying over the streets of your city, identifying possible crimes, chasing exceeding road speed or leaning out your window 'to see what you do'.
