The Modular Phone (PhoneBlok)

We have been using phones since very long and there are no counts for phones that we have already replaced for a newer and a better version. With every new phone bought, an older phone get piled up as a waste. So, what if we replace modules of the phone, instead of the whole phone. As if, we replace the Operating System of the phone for a better one instead of replacing the whole phone. "PhoneBlok" bases  its idea on the same.

A phone worth Keeping

They visioned a phone built on blocks. A separate block for OS,camera,bluetooth,wifi ...

Something that has been thought by PhoneBlok was already thought of and worked on  by Motorola. Motorola has been working on this idea for over a year and they call this project, "Project Ara". The company that made the first mobile phone plans to make the phone worth keeping. With 40 years of experience developing phones, they have been working on this project and are keen to provide what all of us want. They plan to build a phone that is modular, open-source, designed to last, made for the entire world.

Phone built from module

PhoneBlok and Motorola both will be working hand on hand to develop this phone. Usually, companies develop product behind closed doors and only reveal the product when they finish. Motorola has committed to develop the phone in the open, they will be taking suggestions and ideas from people like us from the PhoneBlok community,

Motorola will also soon be releasing a module developers kit so that companies, startups and developers can begin with prototyping blocks.

Joystick-It: The Joystick For Tablet-Gaming

Any tablet gaming freaks, out there?? Well, I am one, and I enjoy gaming on my smartphone. For all gamers,thinkgeek has stocked a neat little game gadget called Joystick-It game controller. This controller is very convenient for use on iPad or any touchscreen tablet and it’s easy to install. Just stick it to the screen and it will become a dedicated joystick for playing any supportive games.
              

HOW IT WORKS?
Well, JOYSTICK-IT does not contain any electronics, but works by mimicking a human finger and this registers as a press on the screen. This product will not work with a PC unless you could get input from a touch input device to register the presses and map them to key presses.

it doesn't connect to the device by bluetooth or any other type of connection, it is simply a small stick with a conductive base that works when placed on a touch screen where the "virtual thumb stick" usually is.

For that reason I doubt there'd be any way for you to use this with your PC, unless you have a tablet PC or use it on a touchpad.

For just $24.99, you can get Joystick-It iPad Joystick game controller at Thinkgeek.
Well somethings are affordable!

NOKIA LUMIA 928

NOKIA LUMIA 928

Windows phone is not a bad coice for a phone in my view.  Specially the Nokia Lumia 928.Nokia's not so secret Lumia 928 has been unveiled with specs, release date and price.

Ahead of the London event next week, Nokia has taken the wraps off its Lumia 928. it will be available from $99 on a two year contract.

Nokia is calling the follow-up to the Lumia 920 a "new expression of the world's most innovative smartphone."

Like the Lumia 920, it comes with wireless charging built-in but doesn't come in a broad range of bright colours which Nokia traditionally offers – just black and white as far as is seen.

The smartphone runs on Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 operating system and comes pre-loaded with Nokia apps such as Maps, Drive, Music and City Lens.

Expect a new Xbox: Microsoft set to unveil new games console at mysterious May 21st event

Expected to be called the Xbox 720 and go on sale in time for Christmas, the console will battle Sony's PlayStation 4.

The consoles hope to fend off a growing threat from iPhone and iPad games, and become living room 'hubs' for everything from TV and music streaming to showing off Facebook photos on the big screen.

The event at its Redmond, Washington, headquarters that will likely shed light on its next video game console.

Microsoft Corp. said Wednesday that the May 21 event will reveal a new generation of games, TV and entertainment.

Nineteen days later Microsoft plans to reveal more details about its games at the E3 video game expo in Los Angeles. 

Microsoft says the event will be broadcast on Xbox.com and on Xbox Live and on Spike TV in the U.S. and Canada.

Writing on his official blog on Wednesday, Xbox spokesperson Major Nelson wrote, 'On Tuesday May 21st, we'll mark the beginning of a new generation of games, TV and entertainment.

'On that day, we'll be holding a special press event on the Xbox campus and we invite you to join us via the live global stream that will be available on Xbox.com, Xbox LIVE and broadcast on Spike TV if you are in the US or Canada.

Little is known about the new console – not even its name, and Microsoft has gone to great lengths to keep details secret.

Gamers have been referring to it as the Xbox 720, although a codename, Project Durango, also surfaced last year on rumour sites.

The firm could also introduce a new payment system to allow users to easily buy games, films and music through the console.

The technology seems to be developing every quarter of second. My needs for them too. 

I better start applying for some vacancies.

Google software keys

Have you ever tried to search for a crack or a keygen for a software in the internet and have not found it.

Most of the softwares are available for trial version. After trial version we are looking for crack, serial no, keygen, patch and most of us don’t known where to get Serial No and have wasted lot’s of time gooogling it. So, today I would like to let you know of a useful method for serial key of any software.

I have a trick for such:
Follow the steps

1) goto www.google.com

2) google the word

"software name" 94FBR

eg:
IDM 94FBR
photoshop 94FBR

3) you will have the crack in no time.


SOo, what is 94FBR????

We can use 94fbr in both types either 94fbr followed by software name or software name followed by 94fbr.

94FBR was part of a Microsoft Office 2000 product key that was released on the internet that bypassed Microsoft’s activation system.Because it is a relatively uncommon term, when you add it to your search queries, it will generally return results of pages listing illegal serial numbers.

How wireless charging works??

How does wireless charging work?

Among the engineers and scientists, wireless charging is known as 'inductive charging'.

 It utilizes two smart coils - one in the charger and another in the device that is getting charged. The primary coil creates a very small electromagnetic field around the charger through which electricity can be transferred. The secondary coil, which is in the phone, receives the power from electromagnetic field and converts in back into electric current to feed it into the battery.

With the announcement of integrated wireless charging in the Lumia 920, Nokia hopes it will be a significant part of the proposition to turn heads from Android and iPhone. But unlike previous examples like the Palm Pre's Touchstone charger, Nokia has joined HTC, Sony, Samsung and others by adopting "Qi", a proprietary interface standard created by the Wireless Power Consortium.

Qi, pronounced "chee", comes from the Chinese symbol meaning energy flow and is designed to provide energy to devices through magnetic induction. This is a similar solution to the system that charges electric toothbrushes. (It's also a valuable and legal two-letter word in Scrabble.)

In simple terms, the base station includes an induction coil that creates an alternating electromagnetic field. Meanwhile, a similar coil within the device is able to pick up this field, convert the energy into current and use it to charge the battery.

After defining the low power (five watts) specification in 2009, the spec was expanded to medium power in 2011, enabling the projection of up to 150 watts -- a significant leap and one Nokia publicly welcomed last month. In reality, the former wattage should be more than enough for a smartphone but it's worth bearing in mind in relation to speculation that a Nokia Lumia tablet could be on the cards some day.

It's also positive news for phone users in that they will be able to charge the device on base stations previously released for other projects -- with the Consortium conveniently announcing that there are now 110 certified examples from 124 members. As Virgin Atlantic and US coffee franchise Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf will be supplying charging stations for public use, these are all positive signs of momentum behind the standard.

Considering the technology has been around for so long, maybe the power of a unified spec among leading manufacturers could provide the tipping point for its mainstream adoption. It wouldn't be the first time in the world of tech after all.

Sony Xperia Z

The Sony Xperia Z, out in the next few weeks, is a mobile phone with a 5in screen.
Apart from the Samsung Galaxy Note devices which are part-phone, part tablet, this is the biggest-screen phone yet.

Even so, because it’s slim and has the narrowest of bezels round the display, it didn’t feel big. Though it sure didn’t feel small.

The phone’s display has the highest resolution yet seen on a mobile – knocking the iPhone’s Retina display for six.

The 5in screen had as many pixels as a 55in Full HD flatscreen TV, and it showed.
The display was eye-poppingly sharp, with rich colours.

Since the phone has a quad-core processor, it’s fast and responsive with no lags or stutters.

This looks like it could be a real challenger to the current market leaders, the Samsung Galaxy S III and the Apple iPhone 5.

Other features included a high-resolution 13-megapixel camera and – handy if you tend to drop your phone in the bath – water resistance. It can be immersed in two feet of water for 30 minutes without harm.

It will cost around £440 with no value-added tax and £528 with VAT included.

Gadgets Y U so damn expensive :/
