Honda Looks To Tech To Prevent Speeding Cars From Hitting Pedestrians

honda-ev-chargerHave you played the game Carmageddon before? If you have answered in the affirmative, how did you find that particular title pan out? It was not too tasteful actually in my opinion, and there are far better games out there to play with. Honda, the Japanese automobile manufacturer, has come up with the first automatic braking system in the world which is capable of ensuring that a fast traveling vehicle of up to 60kph will be able to stop so that it will not end up colliding with a pedestrian. I am quite sure that Honda themselves are not the only ones working on implementing such technology, as other badges are doing it, too.

    Apple Has Plans For Sapphire Glass

    apple-sapphire-patentApple did throw in a fair amount of money into a sapphire glass plant sometime in 2013, and it seems that this particular investment is not going to waste as we have heard of a new patent that depicts possible future plans that Apple has for sapphire glass. In November last year, both Apple and GT Advanced Technology put pen to paper for a five-year, $578 million deal when it comes to sapphire manufacturing.

    samsung-logoThere has been quite a lot of speculation surrounding the possible release date of the Samsung Galaxy S5, and so far, nothing concrete has been mentioned. Of course, this means that rumors will have a field day, and it has certainly shown in news reports that have come up so far. Samsung has yet to reveal anything official about the Samsung Galaxy S5 to date – will it be unveiled before Mobile World Congress kicks off, or will it happen in a separate Samsung Unpacked after the event in Barcelona?

    New Windows 8.1 Update 1 Screenshots Spotted

    win81-update1-screenAnother day, another leak – although this time around it has nothing whatsoever to do with a new smartphone or tablet device. We are referring to the latest Windows 8.1 update 1 screenshots that will highlight modern app pinning, and among them a hover preview has also been caught out in the wild. It does seem as though Microsoft is on the move to merge both modern and classic desktop environments with Windows 8.1 and Windows 9. With Windows 9, there are whispers going around that this operating system will be able to run modern apps in a windowed environment on the desktop, which would definitely enhance the level of usability for folks who happen to be rocking to Windows 9 on a non-touchscreen device.

    Finally! An Update Regarding @Live.com Addresses

    This article was written on June 25, 2007 by CyberNet.

    Finally, there’s an update regarding the @live.com email addresses! Last year around this time, it was rumored that they were going to be released. We waited, and waited, and nothing ever came of it. Some of you had the opportunity to claim your address last year using tricks that we posted (here, here, and here). If you managed to get one, hopefully those email addresses will still be valid once Microsoft makes them available globally. 

    LiveSide pointed out a posting from the Product Manager for Windows Live in Toronto where he explains that @live.com addresses (and all @live.xx– depending on the country you live in) will be available starting sometime in the Fall. He also explains that current Hotmail addresses will remain the same, and there’s no guarantee that you will receive the same name for a Live.com address as you had for you Hotmail address.(e.g., just because you have ashley@hotmail.com doesn’t mean that you will get ashley@live.com). It’ll be on a first come, first serve basis.

    Additionally, he points out that you’ll only be able to migrate your contact information to your new account.  All of your emails that you have saved over time will remain with your previous account, and if you wanted them moved to your new account, you will have to forward them manually.

    Many people have been patiently waiting to get their hands on an @live.com address, so it’s nice to get an official update and know that they will actually be coming sometime this Fall. Unfortunately, I think many Hotmail users will be disappointed when they find out that the only thing they’ll be able to migrate to the new account is contacts. Things such as “Windows Live Spaces contents (photos, blogs, etc), emails, subscription status (hotmail plus or premium), association with other products (Favourites, OneCare, etc) will stay with the existing account. I wouldn’t be surprised in the least if this will keep people from switching to the new brand, and just sticking with their trusty Hotmail account.
