The Sync Smartband can act as a health keeper, fitness tracker, sleep tracker, locator or even built-in sensor. It will track health indicators, including steps, REM sleep patterns and burned calories. The MySync smartphone app uses Bluetooth technology to track up to eight devices up to (48meters) 150 feet away. Parents can set it so they will be alerted when a wearer leaves a designated "digital zone" or if the wearer gets lost.

The Future: Smartphone Battery Recharges In 30 Seconds

The biggest hassle of using a battery - the long recharging time, but soon this is going to be taken care of thanks to the new "Nano Technology" powered smartphone battery which recharges in 30 seconds.
Based on the StoreDot Nanodot, the first bio-organic nano crystal ever discovered which are only 2 nanometers bio-organic peptide molecules in size, the batteries derived from these NanoDots are not only bio-organic but due to their size, have both increased electrode capacitance and electrolyte performance, resulting in batteries that can be fully charged in minutes rather than hours. The company has already released a public video demonstrating this ground-breaking development, showing a smartphone battery getting fully-recharged in 30 seconds flat.

Google’s "Project Tango" Is An Experimental Phone With 3D Rendering Capability




Google has now lift the curtain off their experimental 3D phone codenamed - Project Tango. The phone in it's current prototype avatar is a 5” gadget having customized hardware and software designed to track the full 3D motion of the device, while simultaneously creating a map of the environment. These sensors allow the phone to make over a quarter million 3D measurements every second, updating its position and orientation in real-time, combining that data into a single 3D model of the space around you.

Easiest Way to Watch Hulu, Netflix and Pandora Outside the United States

In the past we have seen many ways using which we can bypass the country restrictions imposed by sites like Hulu and Netflix and browse them like a US user to watch videos. The latest service employ the process of changing our DNS connection and allows us to browse these restricted websites.

There is an easier way to this:

Open the Media Hint homepage on your browser (Firefox or Chrome) and click on the button Start Using. Depending upon the browser you are using, you will be redirected to Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-on Center from where you can install the extension.

 Media Hint

After the extension is installed on your browser, restart it. You will not notice any change in your browser extension area but wait till you open Hulu or Netflix…they will no longer show you country restriction banner! So, as I already mentioned, all you need to do is install the extension.

What Those Lights on your Deshboard Says


No "Right" and "Wrong" Sides to New USB Type-C Connecter



The next generation USB connectors, known as USB Type-C, will be thinner, sleeker and will have the advantage of fitting into the drive both ways (up and down), meaning you'll be able to plug one in irrespective of which way up it is.

Industry review of the Type-C specification is scheduled to take place in the first quarter of 2014, with publication of a final specification expected in the middle of the year.

Industrial experts and major companies supporting the format — informs that an adapter will be necessary for the use of current USB devices with future PCs, smartphones or tablets with support for the new format.

Faster

USB Type-C will be able to transfer data at a rate of around 640Mbps, which is an improvement over USB 2.0 and microUSB which have transfer speeds of around 480Mbps, but is some way off the 10Gbps speed offered by USB 3.1.

Another key benefit of the new USB standard will be that Type-C will have the to charge devices with larger batteries faster than before, again something likely to appeal to smartphone and tablet manufacturers.

The new USB cables will allow a much higher amount of power to be transferred across the cable, meaning that the problem of not having enough AC adapters and plug sockets could become a thing of the past. 

For example, you could power your desktop monitor and desktop PC using a single power cable, with the new USB cable transferring power from one to the other.

LG G Flex: Self-Healing, Flexible Display Smartphone

 
 Flexible displays are something we will be seeing more often in computer, mobile and consumer electronics. LG has now taken the lead by releasing world's first self-healing smartphone featuring a flexible display, G Flex features it's signature uniquely curved chassis which is slightly bent along its horizontal axis. LG's logic behind the curved design is that your fingers need to cover shorter distance compared to a flat screen for typing and watching movies at a distance on 1 feet will offer a viewing experience similar to a 55-inch TV at a distance of 10 feet. Don't miss the hands-on videos shared below.

Hidden Chips Inside Chinese Electric Iron And Kettles

 China is planting spying microchips in Electric Iron and kettles that can scan Wi Fi devices to serve malware
News reports from Russia's state-owned channel Rossiya 24 showed footage of a technician opening up an iron included in a batch of Chinese imports to find a "spy chip" with "a little microphone" embedded into it. These hidden, embedded electronic chips are scanning and connecting to any computer within a 200m radius with unprotected Wi-Fi networks, once connected these "Trojan devices" were being used to spread viruses.

While the report says that the malware is being used to send SPAM, piggy-banking on infected computer's internet connection and resources without the owner's knowledge about it, our recent story "Hidden Backdoor In Your Internet Router - With Love, From China !!" and the fact that the rogue devices had "an microphone" further establishes the fact that these are or can be used for spying. The researchers also found other products having these rogue components including mobile phones, car dashboard cameras and electric kettles.

Phonebloks, a LEGO-like Smartphone Concept that Sounds Way Smarter

This is amazing: a sleek, LEGO-like smartphone built out of reconfigurable blocks with little gold-colored electricity-channeling connector pins, where each of the blocks is like a bullet point on a spec sheet — battery, processor, memory, storage, audio, wireless chip, gyroscope, you name it.
Want to slide in a faster processor? Just swap out a block. Cracked screen? Off with the old, on with the new. Don’t need the camera? Or maybe you do everything online and don’t need local storage? The freed up space might let you drop in a bigger battery or detach non-essential components you don’t want leeching electricity.
The front side of the phone is a screen, which doesn’t break apart into blocks because there’s no reason for it to. It’s connected to a base that’s basically a pegboard. Think of the phone as a pegboard sandwich, the screen on one side and all the little blocks clapped into the other, the whole assembly locked into place with a pair of tiny screws.
It’s not just about customizability, either. Phonebloks creator Dave Hakkens argues there’s a powerful conservationist angle, too:
Every day we throw away millions of electronic devices because they get old and become worn out. But usually it’s only one of the components that causes the problem. The rest of the device works fine but is needlessly thrown away, simply because electronic devices are not designed to last. This makes electronic waste one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world. And our phone is one of the biggest causes.
