Want to explore the cliffs of Dover? Gaze out over the Scottish Isles? Swim through the English Channel? Thanks to the British Geological Survey you can do all of the above…in Minecraft.
Gavin Heffernan sent us a compilation of his time-lapse city traffic videos, all of which except one are shot in the City of Angels. A nice way to shut down for the day. Go have a cocktail, Angelenos.
Olympus interchangeable-lens cameras are some of the best out there, and that doesn’t change with the new Pen E-PL7. As with the E-PL5 , you get amazing imaging tech crammed inside a very small body. What’s surprising is that the redesigned selfie-friendly LCD screen—usually an eye-roller—is so well-conceived that it’s the defining feature of the new camera. And maybe that’s disappointing for a shooter from such a storied mirrorless pedigree.
Even Olympus can’t resist the allure of selfies, it seems. The company has just unveiled the PEN E-PL7, a retro-tinged mirrorless camera whose centerpiece is a 3-inch flip-out LCD that makes those trendy self-portraits a little easier. When you swing…
LG is doubling up on Android Wear smartwatch devices in 2014, with a circular smartwatch destined for release later this year, by the end of the fourth quarter. The LG G Watch R (presumably the R is for round) will get a proper introduction at IFA 2014 this year, and will feature the world’s first Plastic OLED display, with a circular face that uses 100 percent of its screen, unlike the… Read More
Samsung officially takes the cake when it comes to launching smartwatches: It just announced the Samsung Gear S, its billionth smartwatch device launching this year. The Gear S has a few hallmarks that set it apart from the crowd, however, including a curved Super AMOLED display, which has a 2-inch diagonal measurement and 360×480 resolution, and a built-in 3G modem, which can let the… Read More
NASA’s Swarmies look more like toys than space robots. You’d be forgiven for thinking there isn’t much to them – though you’d be wrong. Connected to one another by a sort of wireless ‘group mind;’ these little ‘bots could very well serve as the vanguard of interstellar exploration.
We know that hundreds of millions of years ago that fish left the water and eventually evolved into land animals. But what if we could see it happen right now? We sort of can. Scientists are raising fish to survive outside of water and to walk on land and they’re changing right before our eyes.
Unless you’ve made a habit of carrying around a solar charger, topping off your phone outdoors can be a bit of a challenge. Well, unless you’re living in South Korea. The city of Seoul just announced that it’s building a series of outdoor recharging…
Intel, the leader in semiconductors, has added another feather to their burgeoning cap with the introduction of a brand new 3G modem that is so tiny, it only measures 300 sq mm in size, now how about that? If you were to compare that to something that the ordinary man on the street is able to identify, then using a penny as a physical comparison would be just about right.
Known as the Intel XMM 6255 modem, the whole idea of this entire 3G modem would be to ensure that a smaller and more powerful modem in the market that is capable of transmitting information quickly and wirelessly will usher in a new era of technology, especially when it comes to the fast expanding and explored “Internet of Things” (IoT for short if you love acronyms).
As the Intel XMM 6255 modem is so tiny in size, one would be able to see it in use on everyday items such as a tiny of glasses or perhaps even a watch – as that would mean whatever device that makes use of the Intel XMM 6255 modem no longer needs to be tethered to a smartphone, although one would also have to take into consideration the potential battery life drain on adding on the burden of a 3G modem. However, the Intel XMM 6255 modem has an advantage of handling ‘low signal network coverage’ admirably, picking up signals in areas where the signal happens to be sparse, all doing away with the need for a large 3G antennae that normally functions as a signal booster.
