One of my favorite things about video games is definitely the music.There’s actually a great deal of talent, passion, and variety in gaming’s music scene. Not surprisingly, there’s a host of radio stations dedicated to the music – here’s just a few of my favorites.
Trying to cut out the middle man, Nikon has announced the upcoming availability of the COOLPIX S810c social camera. This smart camera is powered by Android to make it easier … Continue reading
There is nothing quite like solar power that flies the renewable energy banner high, and here we are with the Solar Impulse 2 that has the grand goal of circumnavigating around the world using solar energy harnessed from the sun alone, and nothing else. Is it possible? Yes, considering its predecessor, the Solar Impulse, has had quite its fair number of adventures in the past. With the Solar Impulse 2, this unique aircraft intends to take off from the Persian Gulf, before it makes its way over to India and start to go around the world. The only time it will touch down would be to switch pilots.
Just what will the Solar Impulse 2 offer? For starters, this particular aircraft comes with a 236-foot wingspan, and will be covered in 17,238 solar cells. That would mean the Solar Impulse 2 is wider than a 747, but the cockpit has enough space for just one pilot at any one time. The entire shebang is made of carbon fiber and tips the scales at a mere 5,000 pounds, which is a relative lightweight, of course. The engines themselves are 90% more efficient compared to the turbofans that power commercial jets, and expect the Solar Impulse 2 to cruise at an altitude of 28,000 feet to maximize its solar ray intake.
At night, the Solar Impulse 2 will drop down to 16,000 feet at night, with a top speed of 40mph – and the pilots will have to get accustomed to the cramped space for hours, or maybe days at a stretch – without air conditioning or heating to work with. Expect the round-the-world flight to happen sometime between April and July next year. [Press Release]

Liked the idea of Android apps with a proper camera attached? Still itching for a Nikon camera over a Samsung one? Then perhaps the new S810c will win you over where its predecessor didn’t. To start, the rear touchscreen is bigger (3.7 inches this…
I am quite sure that many of us have already read about the Heartbleed bug that has raised quite a sheer amount of panic among some members of the populace, although cooler heads have also prevailed in the process. In fact, some technology firms have urged folks to make changes to their passwords – all of them, after stumbling across this major security flaw. Heartbleed basically allows one to access data that was previously thought to be protected by OpenSSL, the encryption software that is used by internet services across a broad spectrum.
Professor David Stupples of City University have urged folks to make changes to their passwords when it comes to online services including emails and of course, banking. Yahoo blogging platform Tumblr too, has not ignored the gravity of such a bug, having advised the masses to “change your passwords everywhere – especially your high-security services like email, file storage and banking”.
Who would have thought that a product which was used to safeguard data could actually have been compromised, resulting in the ability to “eavesdrop” digitally? What was meant to protect is now a threat, so it would be a good time to think of the many alphanumeric passwords for you to use with your numerous online accounts for the umpteeth time. Let’s face it, gone are the days when JohnDoer0xX!11! can be your password that will last for the next 20 years.

The smartphone that was non-existent at the Mobile World Congress that was held in February earlier this year, the LG G3, has had its fair share of rumors. Among them include the possibility of a 5.5″ display and an octa-core MediaTek chipset, a “confirmed” 2650 x 1440 resolution display, an alleged photo sample, and a possible June release date, where all of these have yet to prove themselves to be true. Why not add in one more speculation into the hat after having gone through so many already? In the leaked screenshot that you see on the right, the alleged LG G3 screenshot does point to a more “flat” design where its app icons are concerned.

The Office of Naval Research today announced that it’s created the future of combat support – a robotic helicopter, linked up to a simple touchscreen tablet that a soldier can use to send the chopper into missions too perilous for human pilots.
The launch of the Kinect system by Microsoft that saw one’s body being used as a game controller certainly did bring about new possibilities for one to game, and it might have proved inspirational for other projects down the road. Take the Mi.Mu Glove for Music for instance – this Kickstarter project is a state-of-the-art wearable technology that will allow you to control sounds using your hands alone, which might very well alter the way that music is composed.
With slightly more than three more weeks left to go, the Mi.Mu Glove for Music needs to raise less than 75% more of the £200,000 goal in order for its production lines to get busy. How does the Mi.Mu Glove for Music work? Well, it takes advantage of the dexterity and mobility of the human body in order to work in tandem with a live performance machine. These gloves happen to be a compact, lightweight and self-contained system that will need a laptop in tow to maximize its potential.
Capturing the movements and postures of your hands via the gloves, the accompanying software will enable such information to be mapped to musical control messages that can then be routed to a music software of your choice. The gloves are able to track your hand’s orientation, the “flex” of your fingers, the existing hand posture and its direction, as well as sharp movements to indicate drum hits.

Like music? Buy albums? Go to concerts? Wear band T-shirts? Sure. But do you have a thousand different band T-shirts that you can wear for a thousand days in a row? Didn’t think so! Isac Walter does though. And he did it. He crushed it.
