After nexus10 by Google its now Microsoft turn

Microsoft surface

In tablets, the big guns have big names. Apple has its iPad 4 and Google has the Nexus 10. And, if Microsoft is to take on the might of Apple and Google in the tablet space with Windows 8, it needs a big name of its own.

So welcome Microsoft Surface. The new tablet isn't just the big poster boy for Windows 8, but  also for Windows RT too, the brand-new version of Windows 8 designed for ARM.

Description:

It boasts a distinctive design, helped by those unmistakable keyboard covers, enjoys a    10.6-inch widescreen display, and runs Windows 8, the most popular operating system on the planet.

Features:

1. USB port

Any look at the spec sheet will make this obvious, but the Surface RT has a full-size USB port. If you look at SRT as a Windows tablet then this is no surprise, but if you see it as a tablet-plus then USB is a sweet addition. Using it you can plug in a mouse, use any keyboard you want or, and this will almost certainly come in handy next time you are traveling, charge your phone.

2. A super smart keyboard

One of the reasons that the Surface RT feels so much like a laptop is that it doesn’t feel complete without a keyboard attached. Whenever Microsoft demoed it the tablet had the Touch cover (very firmly) attached and they don’t even make a non-keyboard cover for it. So when you take the Surface RT out and you actually want to use it like a tablet with the cover flipped back, what stops you from typing? The keyboard detects that it’s backwards and won’t accept a button press.

Another clever feature is that the space bar doesn’t end where you think it does. Microsoft’s design team noticed that people tend to hit the space key on the bottom edge, which is fine for a standard key, but doesn’t cut it for a no-movement one, like that used on the Touch cover. Their solution was to extend the useable range of the key below where it normally would be. 

3. Hidden, but accessible microSD slot

Much like a metal kangaroo pouch, the Surface’s kickstand has a bunch of storage hidden behind it. On the right side of the tablet, behind the kickstand cover, is a microSD slot that can take in up to 64GB of storage. It’s easy to access, but even easier to just put a card in once and forget about it forever — you still have a USB slot so it’s more like permanent expansion than it is removable storage.

With the price of a 64GB microSD card you can get the Surface RT up to 128GB of storage. That’s a lot of music, movies, Office docs, and apps… at least once there are some apps worth downloading in the Windows store.

4. Angled camera

If you do much reading about the Surface RT you’ll notice the term “22 degrees” come up a lot. Microsoft was quite impressed that they figured out that a 22 degree angle would allow the rear-facing webcam to work normally while the tablet was tilted into kickstand mode. Of course Microsoft didn’t angle the forward-facing cam so if you want to do a video conference the cam is pointed uncomfortably at your chest, but at least your companion will have a great view of the room you’re in.

5. Macho magnetic connectors

Microsoft must have identified one of the iPad’s weakness: the magnetic connector that holds on the smart cover (or any cover for that matter) isn’t strong enough. If you grab the iPad by the cover alone you’re liable to be stuck holding the cover a nothing else, but that’s not the case with the Touch and Type covers. These aren’t as easy to attach to the tablet, but they won’t come off unless you really, really want them to. The power connection is magnetic as well, and while it’s annoyingly tricky to get connected, it has quite a strong connection as well.

Smartphone Controlled Insectoids

Can u imagine a smart phone controlled robotics toys? Perhaps you have heard of a remote controlled car by a smartphone before, but the $19.99 Smartphone Controlled Insectoids work slightly differently for some creepy crawly fun right there and then. After all, with the slew of small helicopters, cars and robots around, things get boring after a while, so a change in scenery is always more than welcome, and the Smartphone Controlled Insectoids provide just that.
This offers directional controls for realistic scurrying action, the Smartphone Controlled Insectoids will be compatible with iOS as well as Android-powered devices.The Insectoids are infrared bugs that requires you to plug the infrared transmitter into your headphone jack before launching the Insectoid app to begin “playing.”

Toshiba four legged to venture in nuclear power plants

One of the unsafest place for work is nuclear power plants with millions of radiations though we to protective measures some radiations enter into the workers body.This particular Toshiba robot will see action for surveillance as well as recovery operations in areas where it is not deemed safe for humans to work. Boasting a camera and a dosemeter among other hardware specifications, this Toshiba robot can be remotely controlled in order to check on the state of power plant’s innards, especially in areas where the radiation levels are way too high for a human to venture into safely, lest he or she turns into a green rage monster – or something.
Sporting an algorithm which Toshiba came up with in order to control the robot so that it can walk on an irregular ground or steps alongside its multi-jointed structure, this particular puppy is capable of getting up and about on all four legs, all the while avoiding obstacles in addition to navigating through stairs without missing a beat – in both directions. This would allow it to operate in areas where wheeled and crawler-type robots are unable to work in.
Toshiba is also kind enough to throw in a tiny vehicle which can be hooked up to the four legged robot with a cable, where this add-on will be tasked with snapping photos of the facilities around, various equipment and pipes that are located at the ends of narrow paths and behind structures. Toshiba intends to continue developmental work of the robot so that it can be more utilitarian, installing shields, stopping water leakage, as well as taking out obstacles.

Could you imagine playing world of warcraft game without a keyboard with the new hack for the Microsoft Kinect that allows gamers to play World of Warcraft without a keyboard.t’s no secret that the Kinect is rapidly becoming the most hacked device since the Hackintosh, but students at the University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies have takent he next step in developing a software hack which enables gamers to use the motion device to immerse themselves even deeper into the online Mid-evil world.
The hack is called the “Flexible Action and Articulated Skeleton Toolkit, (FAAST) and it uses full-body motion control. Gamer can not only wield a sword or axe to take out a feisty orc, but they can also cast spells, making it nirvana for those who secretly love to dress up to play their favorite game.

Get rid of odour from shoes using sterishoes

Steri shoe may be a product that you just wish you could get rid of the smell, the other part being that you really do wonder sometimes how much bacteria gets built up inside of a pair of shoes you never wash i think millions of small micro organisms might build up.

Sure, we wear socks and wash those, but as the manufacturers of SteriShoe point out, the average person’s foot sweats up to a ½ a pint per foot on a daily basis.  If you get to thinking too much about that, it is a bit gross.  But this steri shoes will kill microorganisms that cause athlete’s foot, nail fungus, and of course shoe odor.To use it, just flip it on for 45 minutes and the ultraviolet light will go to work.  These are sold in pairs and you have to choose your shoe size.  Since it costs $129.95 per pair, it seems highly unlikely someone would be able to purchase one of these for more than one person in the family.

Beware, ransomware virus on prowl

The threat, known as ransomware, recently hit the United States. Some gangs have abandoned previously lucrative schemes, like fake anti-virus scams and banking trojans, to focus on ransomware full time. 

Essentially online extortion, ransomware involves infecting a user's computer with a virus that locks it. The attackers demand money before the computer will be unlocked, but once the money is paid, they rarely unlock it. for detailed news.for detailed news check here
