Inside project Ara: Google plans to disrupt the smartphone market, releasing a "lego-like" phone

Image
Ara and Google plans to disrupt the smartphone market by unleashing a "lego-like" phone that lets you swap in interchangeable parts to get new abilities.   The Phone You Can Truly Customize  In the three years since work first started on Ara, the modular phone has always seemed like a pipe dream, and Google has always treated it that way. It's been part of the company's ATAP division -- Advanced Technologies and Products -- a skunkworks explicitly tasked with turning such fantasies, like sensors you can swallow, into consumer reality. Advantages of Ara  When the Project Ara Developer Edition ships this fall, it will come with four modules to start: a speaker, a camera, an E-Ink display (like the one you'd find on an Amazon Kindle e-reader) and an expanded memory module. Those might not sound all that exciting, but they're all things that even high-end smartphones don't necessarily do well. And with Ara, you're not limite

How to solve 0x000007b problem in windows

If your trying to install or run a game in windows 10 64 bit and your experiencing the same error I experienced 0x000007b error, well I think I might have the solution. After downloading the file, replace all the files you see in blue below in the directory given as well. Some of the .dll files may require "special" permission to replace but, either way just replace the ones you can and try to run the game again. I would also advise (although some windows 10 comes with the latest DirectX) you should download DirextX 11 or 12 to support the extensions needed to run the game. The file is compressed so you may want to download Winrar  DLL files in this package and their original locations in Windows C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ msvcp100.dll (32-bit version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package runntime library) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ msvcr100.dll (32-bit version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package runntime library) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ msvcr100_

The new delivery system: Drones!?!

Image
These are the few questions usually asked by people;   Is this science fiction or is this real? It may look like science fiction today but soon, you will be seeing this delivery drones in the air. Many of you will think of it as fake but I assure you it's completely real and will be effective soon enough. How does it work? This technology is a future service that will deliver packages up to five pounds in 30 minutes or less using small drones. Flying under 400 feet and weighing less than 55 pounds, the drones makes use of various sensors to "sense and avoid" obstacle, as well as a high degree of automation, to safely operate beyond the line of sight to distances of 10 miles or more.   How are you going to ensure safety? Being already tested and tried by the companies that offer the use of this drones like; Amazon, Walmart,...  it would seem that the technology is "quite" safe and on still on further research google X says. But like I said e

Driveless Car completes a cross country trip.

Image
You may have heard of self driving automobiles but the delphi model has officially been announced to travel a distance of 3,500 mile from San Francisco to New York setting a record of the first self-driven car to travel that distance in North America. Although, the longest trip ever made by a driverless car was an 8,000-mile journey from Europe to Shanghai in 2010 when a self-driving van from Italian company VisLab made the three-month trek. The Delphi’s self-driving car, which is modeled after a 2014 Audi SQ5 and debuted at CES 2015, made it's mark. It features six long-range radars, four short-range radars, three vision-based cameras, six lidars, a localization system, intelligent software algorithms and a full suite of Advanced Drive Assistance Systems. The car can manage four-way stops, merge onto highways, and steer around unexpected presences in the roadway, such as a bicyclist. And it seemed to do all this fine along its record-breaking trip, as there we

Humanoid robotic diver retrieves treasure trapped for decades

Image
In the medetarian, 20 miles off the southern coast of France. A diver robot "robo-marmaid" visited the flagship of King Louis XIV which sank there in 1664 and no human had touched the ruins – or the countless treasures and artifacts the ship once carried – in the centuries since. With guidance from a team of skilled deep-sea archaeologists who had studied the site, Khatib, a professor of computer science at Stanford. The robot was being controlled by Khatib who spotted a vase in the under sea expedition and is one of the very first to touch the vase in over the century. Being in remarkably good condition, though it showed every day of its time underwater: The surface was covered in ocean detritus, and it smelled like raw oysters. The expedition to La Lune was greatly a success to which Khatib hoped of the "OceanOne" to be used in conditions where we humans find dangerous to go. “OceanOne will be your avatar,” Khatib said. “The intent here is to have a huma

X-Men Apocalypse release

Image
X-men apocalypse is a mind-bending trip of a movie, one likely both to exhilarate spectators and to leave many either with severe feelings of sensory overload or scratching their heads.The movie which was released on the 20th May, 2016 to Nigeria fulfilled it's long awaited purpose. It is certainly spectacular. There is no sense at all that audiences are being short-changed or that the franchise is petering out; if anything, the film feels re-energised by the introduction of several new “mutant” faces. The action begins here in the Nile Valley in 3600BC, where the original mutant Apocalypse (an unrecognisable Oscar Isaac) is first trying to wreak havoc. Over the credits, we are then whisked thousands of years through a time tunnel. In 1983, he reawakens. “I have returned,” he growls in his impressively amplified and eerie voice. With his green cased armour plating, he looks like a more malevolent version of a teenage mutant turtle. Apocalypse gathers together

NO need for street lights, now glowing roads

Image
The picture above entails the use of photo - luminescence material on the road, this make up the constant use of electricity to power up roads at night. Dan Roosegarde company - Studio Roosegaarde, teamed up with Heijmans; a Dutch civil engineering firm, to create a paint that can glow brightly enough in the dark — and under outdoor conditions — in order to light the way for drivers. They actually developed a photo-luminescent powder that, when mixed with road paint, can glow in the dark for up to 10 hours after charging up from the daytime sunlight. The paint was placed on a 0.3-mile stretch of highway N329, about 62 miles southeast of Amsterdam in the city of Oss. The team is really showing interest in the project, but so far they have not received new contracts. The paint has not yet been thoroughly tested by the rigors of time, so perhaps we’ll begin to see eerily glowing roads popping up around the world once the paint has shown to last through weather and ti

Windows reveals the deadline for the free updates to windows 10

Image
Still not sure whether to click that upgrade button to upgrade to windows 10, well it has been of the notice that windows has announced the due date in offering free update to their users. During the 29th of July, 2016, it will be made official to which free updates given to people will be no more. Once that date passes, you’ll have to pay for Windows 10.

Cloaking devices are very real!!!

Image
Science fiction was once the only place cloaking devices existed, on a Klingon ship in Star Trek or as a literal cloak in Harry Potter. Now science has managed to make them a reality. While we can't yet don an item of clothing that will make us entirely invisible, there are more options. Scientists have come up with all sorts of complicated cloaking devices, presumably with plenty of military funding. Some are more simple and can even be made at home for cheap. We've rounded up the best cloaking discoveries science has on offer. Lens cloaking Scientists at the University of Rochester have come up with a lens array system that's able to make anything in its path invisible to the human eye . The cloaking system uses lenses  which bend light rather than allowing it to travel in a straight line. This means that anything placeed in between the lenses can no longer be seen. And the best part is you can make it yourself for about £60. A real world example giv

How to revome viruses using command prompt

Image
You might have heard of windows DOS mode i.e command prompt, well today I want to show some of it's magical power in removing a virus from your computer. First of all you have to access or open the command prompt in admin by right clicking on and say "run as administrator". By doing so you are gaining full access to all the functions the command prompt can provide. Okay now, for full system scan and verification you type in the code "scf /scannow" and run the code to execute the command. Or you can just type in the code using notepad and save the notepad as name.bat or name.cmd either ways it works. showing you the image above, which you have to wait for some minutes for it to complete scanning (depending on the speed of you processor). After verification to see whether there's problem or not, we scan now, and by that I mean literally scanning now. Input the following command "chkdsk" to check your disk content for virus and eliminate

Solar transparent panel probably upcoming in 2016

Image
This upcoming (probably) technology have been predicted to be arriving this year into the hands of the consumers to which I added this technology because it seemed cool. Just as with many new technologies, researchers are trying to make this new transparent solar panel cheep and affordable, which means like I said earlier next year  could  be the year consumers finally get hold of them. Once on the market, they could invisibly collect solar power on phone and computer screens, and even on windows. This is big news but certainty to when it will finally come out is not yet known but hope to expect it.

Technology breaching the gap of language

BMW showed off a concept car that has no mirror!!!

Image
BMW showed off a concept car Wednesday that has no mirrors. In the new i8, The rear view and side view are replaced with 3 cameras and a special screen to show drivers what's behind and around their cars. During the CES in Las Vagas the i8 was unvailed. Two of the cameras are on the exterior of the car where side mirrors are normally located. But the struts that hold the cameras are significantly slimmer than existing designs. The third camera is placed inside of the rear window. The car's software stitches all of the video feeds together for a very wide view of the road. A high-resolution video is streamed to a screen where the rear-view mirror would be. "Dangerous blind spots have been consigned to the past," BMW says about this technology. "The image of the traffic behind the car covers a greater viewing angle than could be observed using the interior and exterior mirrors. No adjustment of the cameras is necessary." The i8 softwa

BLOGGING I know right, what is a tech blogger doing?, posting about blogging. Well one of the fundamentals is knowing your roots, which I clearly want to do by helping people. And by that I mean helping people to know the true aim and mission of blogging. If you read my earlier posts about blogging, you should understand that I mean to enlighten you on how to go about blogging. Firstly, I want to say sorry for the assurance on my past blog in giving you step by step method in starting a blog. That will be done later in my future posts.  Let me starting a blog is easy, but in this life nothing comes easy. So I will just tell you the crucial aspect to blogging. In blogging serious time and effort needs to placed in it for success (making money of it), as do many people's intention. One thing about blogging is that, money may be spent in a lot of things like; themes, domains, widgets, traffic, plugins, add-ings etc (some are provided free) and time also can be spent on it, but

Tom Clancy The Division Game Shocker

Image
  Tom Clancy's The Division is an online-only open world third-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Massive and published by Ubisoft, with assistance from Red Storm Entertainment, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. About the Game We live in a complex world. The more advanced it gets, the more vulnerable it becomes. We’ve created a house of cards: remove just one, and everything falls apart. Black Friday – a devastating pandemic sweeps through New York City, and one by one, basic services fail. In only days, without food or water, society collapses into chaos. The Division, an autonomous unit of tactical agents, is activated. Leading seemingly ordinary lives among us, these agents are trained to operate independently in order to save society. When society falls, we rise. Year One Content This new concept is the first of it's kind, playing through the game in one year i.e April (Incursion), May (Conflict), June (Underground; Expa

HUVr tech biggest hoax or not?

Image
In February, 2014 at Los Angeles a company known as HUVr released a video purporting to be a “completely real” demonstration of celebrities -- including Tony Hawk, Moby, Terrelle Owens, Schoolboy Q, and Agnes Bruckner -- riding HUVr Boards around downtown Los Angeles. Well, HUVr has an authentic-seeming website set up, and says the project began in the summer of 2010 at the MIT Physics Graduate Program. “Our team consists of materials science, electricity [and] magnetism experts who’ve solved an important part of one of science’s mysteries: the key to antigravity,” HUVr’s website says. “The HUVr board team ultimately aims to improve the efficiency, speed and sustainability of mass transportation.” Given that the board have four different types and style to which they believe aids in balance. HUVr claims that its boards are “super solid” and have footpads that allow the boards to “turn on a dime.” Also introducing the HUVr app that connects via Bluetooth to track rout

5G Network. Change to everything

Image
What is 5G? 5G will be a set of standards that define everything from the technology used to the speeds it will deliver. The integration of this 5G with hardware has been the interest of many companies. Intel is the latest to jump on board, as it wants to be able to offer hardware for next-generation phones, tablets and Internet of Things devices, and compete with companies such as Qualcomm. Last time around, Intel backed the wrong horse: WiMAX was basically a failure when LTE became the predominant 4G standard. 4G brought a considerable improvement in speed over 3G, but even in 2016 it’s still not available everywhere in the UK, and real-world speeds are nowhere near those figures, averaging out at around 15Mb/s So we should expect 5G to get a lot closer to fixed broadband. Samsung has ran tests in 2014 and achieved speeds of 7.5Gb/s, which is over 30 times faster than 4G (in these kinds of tests). However, researchers at the 5G Innovation Centre at the Univers
