LightPad, 11 Inci & Resolution 854×480 Pixel


Posted by byte64

maybe you’ve seen this tool before or ever want to buy it you sometimes get bored with the look that cute in the phone screen, might be able to consider this tool. A device called LightPad, serves as a projector to display the phone display into a screen measuring 11 inches hers.

This tool looks similar to a laptop, especially there is a keyboard anyway. The principle works, a tool that comes with this pico projector will output nothing listed in the phone screen to a screen 11 inches hers.

LightPad screen has a resolution of 854 × 480 pixels. Looking ahead, QP Electronics is the manufacturer of this LightPad promised to release a similar product with a higher level of resolution.

In addition to displaying the display to the screen size of 11 inches, LightPad can also function as an ordinary projector. So look in the phone can be seen on the wall with a display measuring 60 inches with a resolution of 854 × 480. Obviously the quality of picture on the wall is not going too good.

This tool is scheduled to appear early in the 2012 CES show. QP-party electronics is still mum about the availability and price of this tool. So wait for further news.


Samsung’s Next Tablet [RUMOR]


Posted by byte64

Samsung [rumor]- Samsung is developing an 11.6-inch tablet with a 2560×1600 pixel display, which might put the display of Apple’s next generation iPad to shame, Boy Genius Report claims, citing a “trusted source.”

The tablet will reportedly run Android 4.0 with a 2 GHz dual-core Exynos 5250 CPU, and it’s likely to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in February 2012.

This latest rumor goes hand in hand with rumors of Apple’s next generation iPad. Its A6 CPU will reportedly be very similar to the one in Samsung’s upcoming tablet.

As far as display resolution goes, the iPad 3 is rumored to have a 2048 x 1536 display, which would make Samsung’s rumored tablet superior in terms of pixel density (depending on the size of the iPad’s display).

For comparison, the pixel density in iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S Retina display is 326 pixels per inch on a 3.5 inch screen. It’s been matched by a few competitors – namely the HTC Rezound and the LG Optimus LTE – but it happened over a year after iPhone 4 first hit the market.

If the rumors are true, unlike the iPhone 4 at its launch, Apple’s next-gen iPad might not have the distinction of having the most advanced display on the market.

 


changes in BlackBerry

BlackBerry 10 – Blackberry is a smartphone company now has global generation and BlackBerry 10 will be the official name of the next generation of RIM’s mobile platform, the company announced in a tweet.

“#BBDevCon Asia Keynote: BlackBerry 10 is the official name of the next generation platform that will power future BlackBerry smartphones!^BZ,” tweeted in BlackBerryDev.

The name change comes after RIM lost a legal battle for the BBX name to BASIS International, a company that has been using the name for its software products.

BBX, now BlackBerry 10, was unveiled in October. It will be a unified operating system for BlackBerry smartphones, tablets and other devices, combining the best features of BlackBerry OS and QNX, the operating system RIM had purchased in 2010.


Researchers find new planets around the sun


Posted by byte64

Northern Ireland – The researchers apparently did not culminate in finding something new yet again a new planet outside the solar system.
in an effort to hunt for planets outside our solar system, the researchers found a planet that is considered the most heat. Planet called WASP-12b is on the temperature of 2400 degrees Celsius, and orbits its star faster and closer than any other planet.
The planet around the star today. For comparison, the planets in our solar system orbiting the Sun is the fastest is Mercury, which orbits the Sun once every 88 days.
To achieve such a quick time orbit, the planet is located very close to its star, with a distance of approximately 3.4 million kilometers, or only 2 percent of the distance of Earth to the Sun.
“WASP-12b is an interesting celestial bodies because it has the shortest running time well be the hottest planet,” said Don Pollacco of Queen’s University in Northern Ireland, which is one of the research project SuperWASP (Super Wide Angle Search Planet).
WASP-12b is a planet that contains a poisonous gas, about 1.5 times Jupiter’s mass and its size almost doubled. Planets around a star as far as 870 light years from Earth is important primarily because it gives an idea of ??how close a planet without destroyed.
“There is a distance limit because the closer a planet with a star, the stronger the influence of cosmic radiation and in one point, the planet will be destroyed by boiling hot star,” Pollacco said. “Previously, people thought as something that is impossible to be a planet around a star the day and can close it.”
This planet is also so hot that its temperature is similar to the temperature of some stars. Even so, he is not a star because its mass is not large enough to generate nuclear reactions that characterize the hot star.


Mars once had a much thicker atmosphere than now

California Pasadena – The experts who had examined the planet mars get lots of information among which a stone giant melon-sized meteorite found on Mars to be one clue expressing veil past the red planet.
Mars meteorite that weighs at least 0.7 tonnes so it is considered too large to penetrate the thin atmosphere of Mars and landed without destroyed.
It raises a presumption that the atmosphere of Mars in the past are much thicker than expected for this or rock falls billions of years ago when atmosphere of Mars is much thicker.
“There is a possibility, Mars has a dense carbon dioxide gas that can supply large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during the ‘summer’ in the recent climate cycles or falling rocks billions of years ago,” said Matt Golombek, a member of a team of researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
Planetary atmospheres can slow the speed of a meteor falling because there is friction. Vehicle NASA, Opportunity, found the meteorite contains metal, which later was named Block Island by scientists, at the end of July.
Block Island about 60 cm in length and height about 30 cm, with a bluish stain. The stone was ten times larger than the Heat Shield Rock, the other Mars rocks that found the end of 2004.


Sixteen school children found a hole that allegedly cave on mars.


Posted by byte64

California – Sixteen junior high students can find a hole on Mars.

They were given the task to study the pictures taken NASA spacecraft orbiting the red planet. The findings of the alleged sighting is a hole in the roof of the cave.

Sixteenth child is a student of Dennis Mitchell’s science class, VII-grade teacher at Evergreen Middle School in Cotton Wood, California. The students participate in the activities of the center of Mars Student Imaging Program Mars Space Flight Facility at Arizona State University.

The students were asked to create such a research proposal and then allowed to use cameras orbiting Mars to take pictures in order to answer their research questions.

This hole is similar to recent findings have been found previously in other parts of Mars in 2007 by Glen Cushing, an American geologist. Display Cushing, captured image resembles a “pit stop”, where most of the roof of the cave or hole collapse of lava flow.

The hole was thought to be caused by volcanic activity on the red planet. At one time, lava flowed out from the surface of the rock and left scars in the form of burrows after the eruption ended.

End of the hole was covered by the material cools and some “pipes” that former lava flows could collapse.

So far, scientists have not been able to ensure the type of material stored in the cave. “This hole is only for our scientists,” Cushing said to the disciples. He estimated the size of the hole was 190 meters x 160 meters and 115 meters.

This study aimed to students who pursue the phenomenon of volcanic lava tube on Earth and Mars.

“They develop a research project with a focus on finding the location of” pipe “lava most prevalent on Mars. What is the phenomenon most often occurs at the top, side, or the plains around the mountain,” said Mitchell, their teacher.

They then examined the main and backup images Pavonis Monsvolcano (mountain) on Mars. The image was captured by the image capturing device Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) from the Odyssey, an orbiting NASA. Photo of reserves they studied gave a surprise instead: a dark circular image. Figure hole on Mars, leading to the cave was buried on the planet.

The finding was made clear again using the camera’s High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The device can display more detail in order to look into the hole.


Samsung’s Windows 8 Tablets: Awesome

Samsung’s Windows 8 Tablet: Awesome !

Here’s how Windows 8 stacks up as a tablet OS:

- Speed: Windows 8 is very fast. While we haven’t had a chance to bog down our build with software that would drop its performance, it’s still impressive that the tablet boots in approximately eight seconds and comes out of sleep in even less time. We have no complaints about the overall performance.
- Aesthetic: The OS itself is quite pleasing. We’ve always liked Metro as an interface, and it works well on the tablet form factor. It stands out amongst the Android and iOS interfaces that dominate the tablet market today.
In case you’re curious, Windows 8 in desktop mode looks almost identical to Windows 7 — there will be no learning curve for the desktop portion of the OS. As for the hardware itself, it’s clean and simple, just the way it should be.
- Usability: Windows 8 depends on a series of touchscreen actions to operate effectively. The entire front of the tablet is a touchscreen, which allows for different touch interactions. Swiping from the far left of the screen to the right pulls up recent apps you’ve launched, and swiping from the far right of the screen to the left in certain apps brings up the Charm Bar, where you can share content with friends.
The touchscreen interface doesn’t feel as intuitive as the iPad, but overall it works well. Once I learned the touch commands, it was easy to navigate. Even the Windows desktop was surprisingly easy to use with touch commands. I was able to use most of the desktop apps I installed with relative ease.
- Metro: The big change to Windows 8 is the addition of the Metro interface. The block style is unique and usable. We can see a lot of people, especially the less tech-savvy, enjoying the straightforward interface with a mouse or a touchscreen. Apps designed in Metro are pleasant to use overall.
- Apps: The Windows 8 Developer Preview comes with a few Microsoft-built apps as demos. They are not apps that will launch with Windows 8, but they give you an idea of what is in store for the platform.
Apps launch fast and are easy to access. The ones I played with were simple, but fun. It’s likely you could run some pretty sophisticated games on a Windows 8 tablet, thanks to Microsoft’s “no compromise” policy.
- Keyboard/Mouse: When you connect a keyboard and a mouse to the tablet (via Bluetooth or USB), the device becomes a laptop with an 11.6-inch screen. Interacting with Metro apps with a mouse wasn’t always as easy or as fun as using my fingers, but it usually did the job.
- Desktop: There’s not much to say about the desktop interface. It’s Windows 7 with some speed and design improvements. If you love Windows 7, you’ll love the Windows 8 desktop. And if you hate it, well, there’s Metro.
Conclusion: Windows 8 feels more complete than a developer preview. It feels like using two operating systems, but the fact that they transition seamlessly into each other helps bridge that gap. The touch controls need some more work, but the basic concepts are solid.
Windows 8 is positioned to become a worthy competitor to iOS on the tablet and Mac OS X on the desktop. Still, we’re concerned about the hardware needed to run it, which is far ahead of the specs of the iPad — and, at this stage, requires a fan. That will make it tough for PC manufacturers to squeeze the OS into a device that can be cheap, simple and small enough to compete with Apple.
We give credit to Microsoft for taking a bold risk with Windows 8. Our guess is that it will pay off in the long run.

New Samsung Galaxy Note

Besides its new tablet, called the Galaxy Tab 7.7, Samsung also released a unique gadged others.
Samsung used the podium at the IFA trade show in Berlin to officially announce another interesting gadget: the Galaxy Note.
The Note is a 5.3-inch, Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) smartphone which in many ways doubles as a tablet — for example, it comes with a pen for drawing and note-taking, for those who still prefer it over the good old fingers.
It also has an impressive array of features: a 1.4 GHz CPU, a WXGA Super Amoled display, 1 GB of RAM, 16/32 GB of storage memory and an 8-megapixel camera as well as a 2-megapixel one for video calls.
All of this is stuffed into a 9.65 mm thin and 0.39 pounds heavy case, which seems reasonable for a 5.3-inch device and actually makes us want to consider using this behemoth as a phone.
Samsung plans to release two versions of the device: one supporting HSPA+ and the other with LTE. Price is pending and the release date is “in the coming months.”

The Next-generation OS can work in various devices


Posted by byte64

Windows 8 is the latest OS from Microsoft after Windows 7. Microsoft has designed Windows 8 to be an operating system to work on almost any device, whether it’s a tablet, laptop or desktop. But can Microsoft really design an OS that is just as functional with a touchscreen as it is with a keyboard and mouse?
The next-generation OS has everything it needs to work on an array of devices. It contains both a desktop interface and a Metro-style interface derived from Windows Phone. It runs both touchscreen apps and traditional desktop apps like Photoshop. It boots in seconds and has greatly improved its impact on memory.
We got our hands on one of the prototype Windows 8 tablets Microsoft gave out to developers at its Build conference in Anaheim, Calif. The device, developed by Samsung, isn’t slacking in the hardware department. The 11.6-inch tablet sports an Intel Core i5 processer, a 1366×768 Super PLS display, a 64 GB SSD, 4GB of RAM and ports for USB, micro SD and HDMI. It also comes with a keyboard, dock and stylus pen.
Let’s be clear: this device will probably never make it to market as it stands. It’s an early prototype for Microsoft’s developer community to test Windows 8, itself a prototype piece of software. Still, it provides a good sense of where Windows is headed, and whether it will be able to compete with the iPad.

Renewal content creepy facebook


Posted by byte64

Dear Facebook Users,

With all of the new changes to Facebook, especially the new Facebook Timeline, some of you have indicated that you’ve had enough and are planning to quit the service and delete your accounts.
Sure, Facebook has faced user revolts in the past — practically every major overhaul to the platform has been met with user backlash — but this time apparently, it’s just too much.
Facebook’s most recent changes, the Timeline and the launch of the new Open Graph API, are the most radical yet. It’s not just about changing the way the News Feed works or the addition of the real-time Ticker. These updates are going to make the content that you share with others more accessible than ever before.
We hear you. The new Timeline is beautiful for sure, but it’s also kind of creepy. People that I have friended over the years now have an easy way to access my earliest college-era posts, photos and interactions. That goes for you, too. Once the new Timeline is rolled out to the masses, your friends will be able to peruse your digital life, look at the people you dated, see the friends you’ve made and check out the jobs you’ve held. They’ll also have access to your questionable taste in music (Nickelback, really?), movies and TV shows. They’ll also know how much you like to read TMZ during work hours.
Like we said, it’s kind of creepy.
In fact, it’s so creepy that some of you say that you’ll quit Facebook if the Timeline other new features can’t be turned off. After all, not only are Facebook’s most recent changes massive, they are taking place at a time when real competition exists. Who needs Facebook when Google+ is around? Hey, Google+ even has CityVille!
Quitting Facebook in 2011 is like quitting MySpace in 2008. It’s the cool thing to do. The difference, however, is that you aren’t going to quit Facebook.
