Rolls-Royce Working On Sea-Faring Drones

Rolls Royce Working On Sea Faring DronesAmazon might have their Amazon Prime Air program, with hopes of delivering packages to your doorstep using airborne drones in an effort to increase efficiency and doing it in an extremely cool manner (while skipping the clogged road arteries in major cities during rush hour), but this does not mean that airborne delivery is the only way to move forward. No sir, Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc has other ideas – by working on unmanned cargo ships instead. In Rolls-Royce’s Blue Ocean development team, they have decided to set up a virtual-reality prototype at its office in Alesund, Norway, which is capable of simulating 360-degree views from a vessel’s bridge.

    Chrome Gets Hands-free Google Voice Search

    Chrome Gets Hands free Google Voice Search The modern day smartphone and computer loves to help us multitask, but some things in life simply does not make for such an allowance. For instance, those who tried to cook and perform a search on the Internet simultaneously would not be too pleased with either result – not only will your keyboard or tablet get stained, but you might miss out one crucial ingredient or overcook your dish. Fret not, Google knows what a bummer this can feel like, hence in their latest Chrome Beta, one is able to perform a search using Google Voice Search, which translates to doing away with any kind of typing, clicking or hand-washing. All that you need to do is to open up a brand new tab or visit Google.com in Chrome, say “Ok Google,” before you begin your search by speaking.

    Install Linux In Windows Using Instlux

    This article was written on June 02, 2006 by CyberNet.

    Install Linux In Windows

    Installing Linux has never been so easy for Windows users. Instlux allows Windows users to install either OpenSuse or Ubuntu. It will grab user information from the Windows installation and user it in the Linux distribution so that the conversion to Linux isn’t so cumbersome. Here is what the developers say about Instlux:

    The final goal is not only to provide a way of installing Linux on a Windows system, but being a tool for a complete migration from Windows to Linux, by getting the system and user information stored on Windows, and writing default values to the Linux installation according to them, easying this way the migration.

    Instlux will support other Linux distributions in the future but they seem to have picked two of the most popular for right now. They have done a nice job of lending a hand to Windows users who are migrating over to Linux by making it a little more painless.

    Painless Patch To Deliver Flu Vaccine

    Painless Patch To Deliver Flu VaccineIf there is one thing that kids hate, I would suppose it would be receiving a vaccination. Anything with needles, whether large or small, is scary, and I think eating one’s vegetables would come in a close second. What if there was a way to deliver vaccines without instilling the fear of needles into the recipient? This particular painless patch could usher in a new future, where one could eventually apply a vaccine patch to themselves without having to drop by the doctor’s clinic. Of course, this would also mean more self-management, and there are folks who are not that great when it comes to keeping a meticulous track record of their previous vaccination (or those of their kids), so that is something to look out for.

    Apple Maps Send iPhone Owners To Grandma’s House


    Apple Maps has not exactly been the most accurate way to get around somewhere which you are not familiar with, as a grandmother in rural Pennsylvania can attest to. In fact, for the past one and a half years, Apple Maps has been sending skiers who rely on their iPhone to get around to her home, rather than the ski lodge which they intended to visit. Basically, Apple Maps would direct skiers who are on the lookout for Roundtop Mountain to go through Beaver Creek Road, but there is one major issue with such a directive – this route happens to be a dead end, as you can see for yourself in the embedded video above.

    Beautiful. You see them glow blue one second and then they turn invisible the next. You’re never sure if these Sapphirina copepods are real until you see them light up like a stunning firefly but for the ocean. And then they disappear just quick enough to make you question what you just saw.
