Samsung: Soon and 64-bit processors in Galaxy smartphones

Published on: Thursday, September 12, 2013 // ,
One or the other of you is the TammTamm to the idea of the iPhone 5S have certainly noticed. An interesting detail is that Apple claims to be the first manufacturer to use in future 64-bit processors into its smartphones. now If this statement is pure marketing, or is there more to it? What really brings the work with 64-bit is a greater potential use of the existing memory. (However, the iPhone 5S but still has only 1 GB of RAM.) Theory allows for 64-bit CPU at a higher speed high-performance applications that usable by the higher number of registers to be generated. In practice, however, 64-bit technology has been rather avoided because it may cause problems with backward compatibility. In addition, 64-bit applications have a higher memory consumption, making the extra speed and available memory usage has to do something smaller again. Samsung apparently still continues and announced by the Korea Times : " Not in the shortest time But yes, our next smartphones will have 64-bit processing functionality. . " The words come from Shin Jong-kyun, Chief Business at Samsung Mobile. Unlike Apple, however, the step at Samsung makes perfect sense: The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 . already has 3 GB of RAM and slowly pushes it to the limits of 32-bit processors for you We stay on the ball

Apple has two iPhone 5 to bury

Published on: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 // ,

The 5S is overkill and 5C is plastic, but more expensive than expected .


Buzz on the web, photos fuitées, rumors convergent already thrown the dice seemed even before Apple announces its new, on Tuesday evening. And we knew that we should probably not expect big surprises from the Apple brand, down to real innovation for some time.
After the usual reminders about some of Apple records, such as the threshold of 700 million iOS products already sold worldwide, Tim Cook, the CEO of the Apple brand, presented its new babies . Two new terminals will succeed, as expected, the iPhone 5, which once is not customary for an Apple product will be removed from the shelves. They will be launched on September 20. 4G LTE compatibility in France has been confirmed by Orange, SFR and Bouygues.
The basic iPhone and colorful 5C
The iPhone 5C, more "fun and colorful" than any of our iPhone, according to Apple , is actually available in 5 colors (blue, white, green, yellow, pink). In a reinforced polycarbonate shell, it offers the hardware of the iPhone 5: 4-inch screen, A6 chip and 8 megapixel sensor, 3x zoom, Bluetooth 4.0 and 4G LTE. It carbide iOS 7, the new home operating system launched on 18 September. 
Pricewise: 5C will be offered 99 euros with a subscription, 599 euros (16 GB) and 699 euros (32GB) without commitment. Not necessarily what redistribute the cards on the market, while many analysts were betting on a mid-range model closer to 400 euros.
The super-powerful iPhone 5S
Top model, the iPhone 5S 4 inches (also) has an aluminum shell and is available in three colors: gray, silver and gold. The new 64-bit Apple A7 processor is shipped. This is the most powerful in the world, according to the manufacturer. It would have graphics capabilities two times higher than those of its predecessor ... and is 56 times faster than the first iPhone. A co-processor called M7 allow the implementation of new applications still unusable so far, especially for the sport, as the new version of the application Nike.
Fingerprint
Also iOS 7, 5S display a battery autonomy of ten hours of talk time and eight hours of Internet surfing. His "home" button (with homemade Touch ID technology) plays the security card by reading the fingerprint of the Home folder.More code to type dozens of times a day to unlock his mobile ...
For its part, the camera sensor of the iPhone 5S is 15% larger. It aligns larger pixels "for best picture," said Apple, but remains a priori eight million pixels. It performs better pictures in low light and is stabilized. A "burst" mode (already present among competitors) takes ten pictures in two seconds, for decomposing a movement or choose the best shot. One mode to 120 i / s can shoot in slow motion. 5S will be offered 699, 799 and 899 euros (16GB, 32GB and 64GB) and from 199 euros with subscription
Few surprises, as expected in the odd years.The bad news is the price of the iPhone 5C. He may be the future iPhone 6 reveal that the Apple brand really has in his drawers ...

Android Help First impression: Google Glass

Published on: // ,
There are only a few thousand testers and developers worldwide who are in possession of a Google Glass. 
Until the project reaches marketable and lands for sale can take a while because of all pages at Google will always stressed that you want and let your time-make everything right. I at least had the good fortune now, the data goggles Google headquarters in Hamburg's try a few minutes. For it specially some employees of Google X Labs had traveled from the United States. On the rationale and operation is already so much has been written, that I do at this point simply would like to give my personal impression. The first moment is pretty cool if you just tap on the yoke and enabled by "OK Glass" menu . After that then arises first a disappointment, because you do not really know in a test situation, what you want to say for now. So first took some pictures and Google Now interviewed. Despite what the trial (the operation was of course entirely in English) is striking is how responsive Glass is. 
The voice recognition is excellent and very fluid. As the time for the first smartphone, but is determined some time to get to it until you use as a User to the common commands without thinking correctly and on the other, in a packed bus not found it silly to use those. The camera and the Google search queries at first glance very nice gimmicks, the navigation can convince even now. The route to Hamburg Airport or the (numerous) nearest Starbucks stores will appear after a few seconds, and of course, the map rotates dynamically, and adapts to its own position. Google provides the tester versions definitely with regular updates , and extend the functionality. Currently, the gadget has arrived at version XE9 software, with which you can use video from Youtube or watch the music recognition Google Now. Regarding the comfort, the prototypes are so light that you hardly notice. When I pointed out that I could see in the carrying position proposed by the Google expert only the upper part of the small screen, I was told that the first copies were sent individually adjusted to the wearer because Glass is something very personal. How should this work sometime afterwards for the mass market, you have to wait and see. My problem was that I had to lower and thus more BEFORE attract the eye of the screen to see everything.Exactly like Google but not so direct eye contact with the real interlocutors is not disturbed. However laudable approach is only possible when the display is actually set so that you have to look just a touch up, rather than (as I did in this case) already in a somewhat strenuous angle. Absolutely impressed I was against it from the audio playback. The "speaker", the sound outside only transmits vibrations to a bone in the ear and thus can hear also for anyone else, certainly had a sci-fi character that you would expect from something entirely new, not to mention of course of the . super quality and intelligibility, with the glass one by the answers told to the question, what battery life Google because that strives for the final product, I got the answer that Glass should get through the day - as you can fit is evidently unfortunately the current major smartphone / phablet standard to. 

More than the already sufficiently themed Google Now functions were unfortunately also not be seen. Although according to Google, a lot of apps are in development - the glasses and software with which I was able to try today is more or less at the same level as it is advertised on the official homepage. When compared for example with the Google I / O over a year ago, as Sergey Brin presented the paratroopers who landed on the Moscone Center, then it can be said that the development team is apparently interested in stable results for everyday life, rather than lurid benchmarks, the home nobody can reproduce. As always, no one knows exactly what Glass is expected to cost at the end and, this way, however, appears reasonable. Finally, I can definitely say that after the short test session a little "want to have" ceased feeling to feel extensively to Google Glass on the tooth.

In Kenya, mobile to help treat eye

Published on: Sunday, September 8, 2013 //
When in 1990, when toddler three years, Simon Kamau popped one eye while playing with a sharp object, his family in a rural area of ​​the Rift Valley in Kenya, did not afford the 80 km journey to the first specialist in Nairobi. Twenty-three years later, a promising technology should allow doctors located several thousand kilometers help patients with eye diseases.
A team from the Faculty of Tropical Medicine, London tests in the area of Nakuru, Kenya, a technique simple and cheap diagnostic eye through a smartphone. "  Kenya was a place of obvious test , says the project leader, Dr. Andrew Bastawrous. In this country of over 40 million people, there are only 86 ophthalmologists, 43 exercise in Nairobi. " 

THE "EYE-PHONE"

Technology under development for five years and now in its final phase, uses a smartphone with an additional goal that scans the retina and software that stores data. Each "  eye-phone  "costs a few hundred dollars and can provide examinations usually require professional equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars and weighing over one hundred pounds.
In the study conducted by doctors of the project in the region of Nakuru, 5000 patients were examined with both the Eye-phone  and with a professional camera to compare the results. According to Dr. Bastawrous, the invention has been found work and was able to detect various diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, nearsightedness or farsightedness.

PREVENT BLINDNESS

After the examination, the data is sent online to a team of specialists who can make a diagnosis and recommend a treatment from eye drops and glasses to complex surgical operations once a fortnight in hospital in Nakuru, about 150 km northwest of Nairobi. So far 200 patients in the study underwent surgery with an opportunity to correct various eye conditions.Simon Kamau, who is now 26 years old and blind, is among those waiting to be made.
Doctors believe unlikely that damaged his eye recovers its full vision because of the age of the wound, but they say they can stop the relentless pain that undermines the young man and his healthy eye swelling due to the efforts of one to compensate for the blind eye. "I can hardly perform manual labor on the farm. When the sun shines, my eye runs and I feel a sharp pain " , says Simon Kamau, who lives with six members of his family on a small farm near Naivasha, about one hundred miles northwest of Nairobi.
Doctors hope that one day this technology will revolutionize access to treatment for millions of low-income Africans who suffer from eye disease and blindness. An important issue, 80% of blindness is preventable or curable in Kenya.

Google offers a virtual tour of the disaster area of ​​Fukushima

Published on: //

Google has released new views of city streets and villages in the north-east of Japan abandoned after the nuclear accident at Fukushima in March 2011, on the platform Mirai no kioku. 

 "Mirai no kioku."  Literally "Memories for the future  . " This is the name that was chosen by Google, which offers with its geolocation tool "  Street View "  a site featuring 12 images of deserted towns in the prefecture of Fukushima , including the towns of Futaba and Okuma, the border which is the ravaged Fukushima Daiichi plant.
These areas are designated by the authorities as uninhabitable for years due to high levels of radioactivity.
Google also released photos of the evacuated areas of Iitate, Katsurao, Kawauchi, Naraha, Hirono and Minamisoma, all in Fukushima Prefecture.He soon added pictures of Kawamata, Tamura and Tomioka, "  shooting is in progress " , according to a spokesman for Google.

COLLAPSED HOUSES, BROKEN ROADS

New views watches collapsed houses, broken roads and other damage caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Futaba, near the atomic complex.
The American group used to make this a special location-vehicle equipped with a camera, under strict conditions to protect his personal realization of environmental radioactivity.
New views can partly be compared with those of the same places before the tragedy.

Google had launched this virtual stroll  in ghost towns in March with a visit to the city evacuated from Namie, conducted at the request of local authorities.
