The Wallpaper TV

The TV that I am going to write about will change your definition of “reality”! This TV is HD color on pure Black, is 77″ across, and is only 1/10 of an inch. Now re-read that last characteristic, and think about for a second or two. That’s thinner than the iPhone in your hand! It’s actually so thin, you can bend it. Seriously. You can get this TV if you’re willing to pay a small amount (cheer up, it’s only $8,000). This TV was introduced by LG and called “The LG Signature OLED”. And this TV doesn’t come with any flaws – it was awarded Best of the Best at CES 2018(Consumer TEchnology ASsociation). The package of this TV packs a punch! It comes with the TV, and a soundbar that has speakers all around it, and speakers on the top, to optimize the most possible 360° sound, called the “OLED Surround Sound”. Also, the speaker comes with HiFi enabled, which is the sort of sound from the Mars Speaker.  The LG Signature TV is a smart TV, so it comes with all the stuff you need, a full web browser, Universal Control Capability (compatible with Smart Remotes, and comes with one), and finally, the LG Content Store (an app store)! So your TV is ready to go, out of the box. And the TV itself only weighs about 17 pounds (about 8 pounds) All you really need to do is connect the soundbar and set up the WiFi, and you’re good to go!

The SpotMini

Technology is everywhere. Literally. From simple mobile phones to self-driving cars and computers to only pure experimental ideas, technology is a blast. But who gives thought to the soon-to-be robots that will help you around the house? Boston Dynamics created a well-made robot, the SpotMini. This little housekeeper can do ordinary house jobs like: bring you a Coke, open a door, and throw away your leftovers. The robot is about 1 meter tall, weighs 30 kilograms, and is fully electric. It can run for about 90 minutes on a full charge, depending on what it’s doing. It has an attachable arm that does its many jobs, like bringing you a Coke. It also has a 3D Vision System, which is a system compromised of multiple cameras, that scan the robot’s environment, and thus allows the robot to not collide with any walls – so rests assured the roof won’t collapse, while you’re watching an episode of your favorite TV show. Its four mechanical legs allow it to climb stairs, and using its position/force sensors, it can climb under a low table. Boston Dynamics is a robotics company that has made several robots, including the Atlas, a humanoid, and Spot, Spot Mini’s big brother. Boston Dynamics was founded in 1992, by Marc Raibert. Their current headquarters are in Waltham, Massachusetts. Boston Dynamics is also famous for BigDog, a quadruped robot designed for the U.S military with funds from the DARPA. Watch the video below for what the SpotMini can do, and not do.

The Labo Of Nintendo

Nintendo came far at creating not only different colored controllers, but different game consoles (Like the Nintendo switch). Now Nintendo came forward and created a hands-on experience, called Labo. Labo is made out of cardboard, like most DIY projects. Speaking of DIY, you need to assemble each “Labo”, by just punching out the cardboard and putting the tabs in the right places. Labo brings your creations to life – you can program or use your “Labos” to play a game. One thing about the Labo is that it’s only coming out on April 20, 2018, so not much longer to wait. And also, kids would go full out on this. Your kids can have their own Lab of creation. Furthermore, prices aren’t too high – the creative pack starting at USD$69.99 and the robot pack at USD$79.99, both available for pre-order. Software for your “Labos” is included, so no wasting time on downloading anything. The most important thing about the Labo is that you need your Nintendo Switch Console/Joy-Cons for almost every “Labo” because this is an accessory made for the Nintendo Switch. You can also customize your Labo with stickers markers and much more with the Customization set, at USD$9.99. If you want to learn more about the Labo, visit Labo’s Official Webpage!

The EQ, All New

Tesla has been dominating the market of electric cars since it’s Model S came out, and now it is booming with new concepts, like the Mercedes-Benz Concept EQ. This SUV of the future was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. The EQ is definitely comparable to the Model X. First of all, both vehicles are all-electric, but since Mercedes-Benz is the top seller for quality cars, you’ll find the interior seats made more comfortable than the Model X. Also, the EQ has “Light Strips”, that you can change color and are available in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. These Light-Strips go around the whole car, exterior and interior. Another feature that distinguishes the EQ from the Model X is that the EQ has built-in screens on the back of each seat featuring a map. The EQ looks sleeker – with the light up Mercedes Logo on the front and lines going to it. The roof of the EQ is a sunroof. Doors have never been easier to open. Just slide in your hand and the door will open. Also, the mileage per charge is almost the same as a Model X, being 310 miles. To wrap this up, the Tesla Model X could easily get surpassed by the EQ, which should roll out by 2020.

SpaceX’s Zuma

On January 7th, SpaceX was going to launch a top-secret mission called ZUMA. But the reason why this mission didn’t stay top-secret is the fact that it failed. What happened? No one is sure, but a few theories are out. In response to those theories, SpaceX is just flat-out denying every single one of them. All the facts that we know are that ZUMA was a top-secret satellite and it was launched at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on January 7, 2018, onboard the Falcon 9. ZUMA was built by Northrop Grumman for SpaceX to serve some secret service. An amazing 24 hours after ZUMA’s takeoff at 8:20 ET (5:20 PST), questions started rolling in about ZUMA’s mission. The rocket successfully landed, but ZUMA itself was lost. One theory is that the ZUMA didn’t detach from the Falcon 9 and possibly crashed down into the Indian Ocean. Another possibility is that ZUMA did detach from the Falcon 9, and malfunctioned in space, came crashing down to ear and burned up in the atmosphere, says Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal.  SpaceX then decided to launch another top-secret mission, Delta IV (4), on January 12, 2018, at about 5:15 ET (about 2:15 PST) aboard a Falcon 9. ZUMA was SpaceX’s first launch with Northrop Grumman, so maybe it wasn’t SpaceX’s fault at all. News still awaits from both SpaceX’s ZUMA and Delta IV.

The 3rd Apple Watch Series

Following the iPhone X, Apple Watch Series 3 has some attracting features. The first feature is the face. The Watch OS 4 and Series 3 have introduced a new face (not just one, but many).  This is a kaleidoscope feature that, as time flies by, the wheel does give pleasure to the eye.

The X-ellent iPhone

After the introduction of iPhone X, Apple’s been on fire.  With some inconsiderable features like face ID and iOS 11.  To start this list of infinity, let’s start with the all screen feature. this feature means that the iPhone is completely screen and a virtual home button.  Instead of a tap, the home button gets replaced with a swipe. That’s right, to get to the home screen, just swipe where the home button would be.  The virtual home button eliminates compromise between home button and screen. Apple even made X smarter!  Now you can know your phone, and your phone will know you.  This means that you can unlock your phone without a touch.  Apple made this possible using face ID. This smart technology adapts as you grow and age.  Texting is now becoming facial.  You can, using your face, make an emoji “talk”.  And by this I mean you can move the emoji’s mouth and other parts of it’s face. Picture taking has also innovated.   With the contrast ration being 1,000,000 to 1.  Also, a new microchip, the A11 Bionic, has been installed and is cable of doing 600 billion operations a second. And 4 efficiency cores in the all-new CPU that is 70% faster than A10 Fusion.  And the cores for performance, 25% faster. This new iPhone X was presented in the Steve Jobs theater in the new Apple campus.

 

Your Fingerprint, Sleek and Unique

Our own, personal fingerprints are very vital to us.  Even not 2 people in this whole planet have the same fingerprints.  And some people don’t have fingerprints.  It’s a very rare case called Adermatoglyphia. But only 4 families are known to have this.  And fingerprints don’t just get involved in crime scenes, but also the iPhone home button.  Unlocking your iPhone has a choice of using your fingerprint.  Apple recognizes and scans your fingerprint using capacitive touch sensors by passing a small current through your finger to create a “map” of your fingerprint.  This feature is actually called Touch ID which is a standard for all iPhones 5S and higher.  Touch ID is also available on iPads Air 2 and higher.  If that’s still not enough, Touch ID is also available on the MacBook  Pro (The one with the touch bar).  In this amazing Home button, there are 4 layers to detect your fingerprint. The first layer is a Laser-Cut Sapphire crystal. the second layer is a stainless steel detection ring (to create the size of the “map”). The third layer is the capacitive layer that sends out small currents to actually detect your fingerprint and “map” it.  The final fourth layer of the Home button is the tactile switch, which switches every time you place your fingerprint on the Home button which connects to the control panel beneath.

The Almost-Full Ethereum Dictionary

Ethereum and BTC have been leading the digital currency world standing neck-to-neck in competition. Since Ethereum is a token, there is no limit to how much Ethereum can be mined. This is because tokens (ethereum is one) and cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin is one), work differently. First off: Ethereum is powered by blockchain (just like BTC) to track transactions and trades.  The newest feature of the “Ether-Blockchain” is a very vital and key feature called “Smart-Contract”.  So this Smart Contract feature lets your money/Ether Invest, Spend, And Save.  All by itself.  So imagine your money/Ether going to work for you!  This feature also makes some people say that the Ether blockchain technology is better than the BTC blockchain technology!  These blocks will program themselves without running in or interfering with third party sources and having downtime censorship.  You can also use Ethereum as a plan-B because Ether can be used from e-commerce to the internet of everything!  It also enables governments for communities.  And your Ether can do that all and keep you in touch with your ether without losing it.  Last off: Ether is WAY lower priced than BTC.  And once it Flash-Crashed from 400 USD to only 10 CENTS by only one very large transaction.  Ether will run exactly as programmed and makes it easy to debug, develop and deploy your transactions while building UI’s.
