This so-called Heads-Up Display (HUD) and can connect to iOS, Android and Windows Phone 8 devices and displays including the information about the route, distance, speed, time of arrival, speed and even flash delays on the route. The advantage is that according to Garmin 'screen is transparent, so you have better visibility on the road. "HUD redefines the navigation experience by enabling motorists to find without having to keep their eyes off the road," said Dan Bartel Garmin. It sounds good since it is still using your Smartphone via Bluetooth but you may also connect to the audio radio to run the voice prompts through the speakers in your car with any music goes to the background.

CyanogenMod; A Privacy Guard Manager Arrives!

The CyanogenMod team has to make some changes in the management of its incognito mode which now takes the name Privacy Guard Manager and takes place in the Android Settings section. In addition, the team provides some information relating to succession of updates to the stable release for the Galaxy SIII. But there is also talk of a new site for downloading alternative firmware. While some mobile devices have alternative firmware CyanogenMod stamped 10.1 and based on Android 4.2, the development team did not stop there and offers new features on the new versions. As a reminder, these are open-air laboratory and are updated daily to remove bugs, feature has been added. A Galaxy SIII has the right to multiple updates. The team gives some details about the users of Galaxy SIII (U.S. version) and saw appear several updates to the stable release without special explanation. Indeed, they went from version 10.1.0 to 10.1.0.3 in the space of a few days. First there was a correction made to any picture / video sensor, but it brought with it a particularly annoying bug disabling data’s in some users. A second patch has been deployed; unfortunately, the end of added code came from a new version that included other problems. Therefore a 10.1.0.3 release was pushed correcting all the bugs. It can be downloaded here. On Google+, the team says that the head was wrapped in tar and covered with feathers. About incognito mode that applies to all users new versions, at least for the moment, a change was made. As a reminder, it will block permissions requested by applications to be installed on Android. Anyway, it is now question of Privacy Guard Manager and takes place within a tab in the settings section. It makes visible all installed applications and an icon to the right allows you to see the status, whether personal data is exposed or not. It is also possible to define a common rule to all at the time of installation, which is quite convenient and easy to use.

 Finally, proof that this feature should eventually be deployed on the stable versions of firmware, a long press on the tab Privacy Guard Manager from the parameters you assign and how it works and gives you details on how to do it. In addition, the CyanogenMod team is preparing a new website, currently available in beta. He clearly wants more accessible to users and gets a much nicer interface and can also be used on your mobile. From our side, we regret the absence of relatively important information; the Android generation supported. Indeed, if the date of the latest version is important, we would like to know if it is important to download anything. Hopefully this change is expected in the next update and prior to production. Besides, if you have any comments to make them, simply go there.

Nokia Lumia 1020 with 41 megapixels!

In 2012, the Nokia 808 Pure View with 41 megapixel camera was released, gain in July 2013, Nokia Lumia the successor of its pixel monster with Windows Phone 8. In the first glance the Nokia Lumina 1020 looks like regular model of Lumia phones. According to the blog reports, the Lumia 1020 comes with two gigabytes of RAM and 32 gigabytes of internal memory. Expansion through Memory card is not provided. Also this Nokia Smartphone will offer additional cases that support wireless charging. In addition, NFC and an FM radio on board. About the pre-installed "Camera Pro" app, you can also configure the camera manually. To set about the white balance, ISO setting and shutter speed manually. Nokia has indirectly confirmed that this Nokia's new camera phone will actually have a 41 megapixel sensor. For other Smartphones is closing at a maximum resolution camera 13 megapixels. The blog ViziLeaks already shows photos of the alleged internal supposed "Elvis" equipment mentioned in circulation. In the market it will be named as Lumia 1000 Eos or Lumia Smartphone as 1020. As the test of its predecessor Nokia 808 Pure View shows the main advantage of the sharper sensor is not necessarily in the ability to store photos in huge resolution. It's more about the optimization of image quality: This creates better at the end of eight or five-megapixel photos than a normal camera sensor. Unique to mobile phone cameras is the ability to zoom in quasi photos and videos at Pure View mode. The 41-megapixel technology Nokia has called Pure View 1 technology. For Lumia 920 and Lumia 925, however, the Pure View-2 technique was used: the higher image sharpness alone does not, however, provide through an optical image stabilizer for shake-poor video footage and high-intensity shooting in dull lighting or without flash. Exciting - but technically not that easy - would be the combination of both technologies: How would shoot in low light or low steady video possible as well as photos with impressive image quality. If Nokia manages to square this circle is on 11 Show in July.


According to the Windows Phone Central 1020 is equipped with 720p OLED display. Just like the Lumia 920 will be surrounded by a shell of polycarbonate, The Nokia 1020, Compared to Lumia 920 is one millimeter thinner - but it has a large recess for the camera. Nevertheless, it is much thicker than other Smartphones, especially as the sleek Lumia 925. With the 41-megapixel Nokia technique demonstrated its expertise in mobile phone cameras – then their competitors cannot match. If Nokia is able to combine the technique of photo 808 View Pure and Lumia 925, Nokia's new friends would find many pixels monster.

Facebook Graph Search, A Social search is started!

The new search "Graph-Search" conjures very personal search results. Now the feature has left the beta stage and is available for the first members who use Facebook in English available. This the time to check your privacy settings to avail this. The last major visible change was the switch from Facebook to the Facebook Chronicle. Then the focus was probably on it to make money to keep the shareholders in a good mood: The Top rated ads, services and recommended links and more commercial. Recently Facebook has bought, built, or copied mainly existing services. Truly no innovative features for users and there was hardly the last big Facebook event was years ago. Under the name "Graph-Search" stated Mark Zuckerberg before the new Facebook search. Facebook scours only to its own database, for personal results. Privacy is maintained as before: Only data that are public or were shared with the user can be used. Entering a search should work intuitively, "Which of my friend lives in Hamburg?", "What TV shows or music liked by my friends?" Or combinations thereof are possible. After Mark Zuckerberg had presented the Graph-Search in January, users were able to register on a waiting list to try out the new feature. Shortly thereafter, several users reported that they had been approved in the beta phase and could use the new search. Then there was silence for graph search. Six months later, the beta seems to be complete. Facebook reports that social search is now faster, smarter and simpler to use. It said the feature will soon be for all Facebook members who have made the website language to "English (U.S.)", to be accessible. The search would be updated automatically.

When exactly is the social graph also available? It is unclear. Users in here received on 9 July 2013 an indication of the introduction of the new search: "Tip: Search on the social graph is now introduced. It facilitates users to search for photos and other things that you have shared with them. To check who can see your content, just click on the Privacy icon. "Facebook so also warns its users, once again to set their privacy settings and check who can see what shared content. In the comment section of The Verge cavorted during the beta phase, several Facebook users who claim to have access to graph search. One user commented that the search is very useful and thanks to Facebook, he had already found a friend for a snowboarding trip and a replacement for a football game. Other users rated the function as "creepy": It is a very good way to spy on his friends.

Cortex a revolutionary plaster through a 3D printer!

Heavy and imposing smelly plaster and you scratch soon will be a thing of the past! An American student has developed a prototype plaster airy and flexible that would protect and repair the broken bone while leaving your skin breathes. Farewell unpleasant odors, itching, unable to move your broken limb. With Jake Evill all these concerns will perhaps disappear! A graduate of the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand has invented a whole new kind of device to allow the broken bones of our members to fix without all the drawbacks associated with external casts. With the technology of 3D printer, he has developed a prototype plaster for exoskeleton particularly designed such that it has a futuristic air. Called Cortex and made of nylon, this device honeycombed with holes, to help to get the free flow of air throughout the broken part of your body. Holes prevent more itching. Another strong argument, this prototype is more flexible than a rigid plaster, so allow greater mobility. But where did Jake Evill strong is that the cast is strong enough on the part where the bone is broken in order to better protect it and prevent it from moving. On top of that it is fully recyclable and is waterproof! This little deed is made possible by several scans of the party to support. The first is a photograph X-rays can pinpoint where the fracture. The second is a 3D imaging of the full member, including flesh and bones, to know exactly what size to make the plaster. Then just solder the two parts (upper and lower) of the plaster to set. Yet there is one small problem: it takes time for 72 hours for the Cortex is ready to implement. It takes 3 hours to print both sides and several hours to allow the nylon cool and be strong enough. But Jake hopes that the evolution of 3D printing technology will rapidly to minimize this delay. It is certain that this new kind of plaster is really nicer than we are forced to wear for now! On top of that it has many advantages over standard plaster, it's a real asset. Of course we would prefer not to break an arm or a leg, but if that is the case, it is preferred to have such a device. By cons we can no longer draw on it! After seeing the prototype, are you still supporters of traditional plaster or do you prefer this new design and more apparently more convenient?

Choosing amongst a Throng of Promising Broadband Providers

Let’s face it: we now live in a world dictated by social media, made more entertaining by web-based games, and overall, run by the Internet. Think about all the things that the Internet has made effortlessly possible: successfully traversing on uncharted grounds (thanks to online travel advisors and blogs that unfailingly deliver); meeting one’s soul mate who happens to hail from the other side of the world (thanks to online dating sites – the modern day expert at matchmaking); and even finishing a semester’s worth of school report in no more than a day (thanks to virtual, ready-made reports that are perfectly at the disposal of “uninspired” students). What else can you not do without the Internet’s divine aid?
That said, having a good Internet connection is basically every modern person’s lifeline. And as we move further into the comfort and conveniences brought about by technology, having one that is supernaturally fast would be equivalent to having an extra pair of kidneys, or perhaps a spare heart. This would explain why people are ever on the search for the best Internet provider. With the many options available, is it really possible to find The One?
It’s true – there are a handful of providers to choose from nowadays, that it’s next to impossible just picking out one without having an urge to doubt its suitability for one’s needs. But for every consumer’s convenience, we have grouped Internet users into different stereotypes. All you need to do is to find your category, and perhaps take our word for it:
The Ubiquitous Users
These are consumers who practically work on their laptops or smart phones for most of the time, hence, their need for an Internet connection that they can practically bring everywhere they go. For this group, a mobile broadband connection is highly recommended.
The Techie Family
Families generally use different gadgets to use the Internet: tablets, smart phones, personal computers, and laptops. As such, they would need a connection that allows high or unlimited download allocations that would cater to the surfing needs of every member.
The Hardcore User
Heavy users, or those who are fond of downloading a lot of movies, music, or playing heavy games need a higher bandwidth compared to the average user who is only after e-mailing, sending pictures, or logging in to social media network accounts. For the latter, even a mere 8MB speed will be enough. Meanwhile, for the former, many broadband providers also offer higher Internet speed that will surely satisfy every hardcore user’s desire.
These different types of broadband services benefit all types of users not only in terms of budget, but specifically in terms of their unique browsing needs. To avoid rip-offs, one must do thorough research before acquiring any broadband service. Look for feedback and reviews which can be found on the Internet, and see to it that you search specifically for client feedback from your area. This is because sometimes the performance of certain broadband providers depend on the area coverage. There are, however, those that perform well in all covered areas.

Google Smartphone Moto X comes soon!

With the Moto X, Motorola is working on the first Smartphone that was developed in close conjunction with Google. The mobile phone is to score by a "Made in the U.S." stamp and be individualized bar. On the tech conference D11, Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside was sitting on the podium. In an interview with journalists, he confirmed rumors that they are working on a Smartphone called Moto X. It will be released in October along with other mobile phones by the manufacturer. The CEO flirted with having the phone in your pocket, but not to be able to get it out. He also did not provide any details on the technical equipment, so here the speculation can go on. After all, Woodside announced that the Moto X is assembled in a factory in Texas. The items would not completely come from the U.S. The processor, for example, comes from Taiwan and the OLED screens from Korea. In addition, the Smartphone should have numerous sensors and remember, for example, when it is pulled out of a pocket by force in the car at around 100 kilometers per hour even then the driver can use it. It is the first Smartphone that allows you to design and personalize it. Because you should now have the freedom to make the things in your life so that they are as unique as you are "These sentences applying the new Motorola Moto X. According to Sources, there are no major breakthroughs in terms of personalization: Buyer can choose the color of the Smartphone and rear of the frame at the Moto X.

Moreover, it should be possible to engrave the shell individually and installed special wallpapers to have. Other than that few suspected that the Moto X will not be available on the Google developer conference I / O in May. So remains uncertain whether it will be the first device to the next version of Android (codenamed "Key Lime Pie" lime pie). The mobile phone with at least a 4.5-inch touch screen according to the report would not belong to the Nexus devices, but mark the beginning of a new sub-brand of Google. However, the graphical user interface should be designed similar to the Nexus models. In addition, the Moto X would have new features that occur, for example in competition with S-Beam and S Voice of Siri from Apple or Samsung. The ranks of the top Smartphones currently run Apple with the iPhone, Samsung with the Galaxy S4 and HTC with the HTC one.

 A report by the World Street Journal to the Google subsidiary Motorola is working to change that. The new super phone started with the working title "X Phone" and will represent the first rumors that the competition in terms of technical equipment in the shade. The project gets backing from like Google CEO Larry Page, who called the Motorola team to "think big". A significant step forward is for example to make the camera. Also is experimenting with new materials. The developers are trying among other things to a flexible display and a ceramic housing. The challenge is to find ideas that are not yet implemented by Samsung, Apple and others or in planning - and to integrate technology that sucks not empty the battery even faster.

Yahoo acquired Xobni!

For a small fee, of 30 to 40 million, Yahoo bought Xobni, a software contact management and messaging, mobile and PC compatible. If Yahoo continues to close down some of its services, it also makes multiple acquisitions, large (1 billion for Tumblr), but also with smaller startups. So this week, after the acquisition of Qwiki in the field of mobile video, Yahoo formalized the acquisition of Xobni, a California company founded in 2006. The amount of the transaction was not disclosed, but according to AllThingsD, Yahoo would have paid between 30 and 40 million at least. This is less than the funds raised by the startup since its inception, the site adds. Xobni publishes plugins, free and paid, contact management and email, including Gmail and Outlook, as well as applications for mobile platforms including Android, iOS and BlackBerry. The effects of this acquisition are immediate. The editor says its software Smartr Contacts for Android and Xobni for BlackBerry is no longer downloadable. For existing users, they can continue to use applications until July 2, 2014. Tools Smartr Inbox for Gmail and Smartr Contacts for iPhone are available for download at the moment of time. The editor warns that the withdrawal could come later, even if the media will be preserved for another year. Xobni also announced the end of the marketing of its premium products (Xobni Pro, Enterprise Xobni, Xobni for Teams, the Xobni Gadget Salesforce and JIRA Xobni Gadget). Active licenses remain valid until July 2, 2014.

Bing Audio service extended in 14 more countries

The application Bing Audio music is extended to 14 more countries. It competes with services like Shazam or SoundHound. Microsoft announced recently that Bing Audio Application is now available in 14 new countries. Already present in few countries, this identification music function is integrated into the search engine Bing Windows Phone.

MYO, the gesture control wristband of the future!

Use the Force!
Sci-Fi is about to become a reality.
With the backing of Y-Combinator, Canadian tech company Thalmic Labs, developed an armband designed to control applications for products such as Windows and MAC PCs, as well as smartphones, and other devices by using Bluetooth 4.0 and rechargeable battery.
Introducing the MYO Gesture Control Armband.
The word Myo, has its origins from the greek name for muscle. Essentially, it is an armband worn on the forearm, that contains sensors for detecting alterations in the electrical activity of the muscles of the arm, down to the individual fingers of the hand. Interpretation of the muscle movement, becomes assigned, or calibrated, as specific commands when paired to devices that use Bluetooth.
What is fascinating, is the speed in which the MYO reacts to your muscle movements. An almost psychic reaction, as it seems to behave a split second before commands become gestured. This is due to how the human brain uses chemical signals to deliver the message to the arm that the fingers are now instructed to move. The muscles electrical signals, however, are more quickly interpreted, and when wearing the MYO it seems to react before the fingers actually move. It's almost a technological symbiosis.
The MYO's translation of the muscle movements are programmable, from multiple actions.
Meaning, make a fist and suddenly a playlist of favorite song titles is emanating from the computer. Or, extend two fingers and the reaction opens up a webpage to your frequently visited sites. How the MYO will engage the applications and devices from specific arm and hand movements is only limited by imagination. The MYO can handle rotations of the wrist and forearm as well, the calibration is up to the user to define.
An entirely new level of immersion is obtainable when controlling characters of popular video games. Imagine for a moment, the act of pointing a finger, and delivering death to enemy combatants. Command attention during business meetings by advancing to the next slide of the presentation, with a simple wave of the hand. Own a quadrocopter? With the snap of the fingers it can rise into the air, awaiting further gestures to command it. Or, consider the uses for remote control vehicles used by the military, commanded by a soldier's silent hand movements.
That is only a tiny fraction of what this device is capable of controlling. Physically impaired or disabled users may find a new level of control, by tightening and relaxing a muscle in their forearm to instruct an electric wheel-chair, or to activate a cell phone.
Currently geared towards developers, it ships with an API to truly explore the potential uses. Pre-order a MYO now, for shipping at the beginning of 2014. The cost is lower than what some might have expected, at only $149. There is no need for cameras or lasers, with a limited range, to interpret the movements. The range of Bluetooth 4.0 extends to 1000 meters. That is over 3,000 feet! The cool factor that this controller imparts is not solely in what it does, or can do, but it is also stylish to wear and does not have the look of a geeky gadget. MYO is certain to deliver a revolutionary influence on how people control devices for years to come.

The Facebook app on Android is intrusive!

The publisher of Norton anti-virus reported about the Facebook application on Android. The up-to-date Norton Mobile Security comes with bad news for Facebook. Last Thursday the Norton raised this issue in one of a blog. The new technology offered by Facebook namely Mobile Suite which gives mobile insight is the root cause for this issue. This application makes the social network to index the mobile number you are using. The more interesting work of Mobile Insight is the automatic collection and analyst information about applications installed on the device. Technology Norton actually a summary combining data of the Android by applications such as phone number, email, contacts etc. It must simply answer the question "What does your camera with you?" Particularly it is more sensitive on Smartphones. Note in passing that Facebook is regularly pointed to her bulimia of personal data, in the heart of its business model. Late last week, we learned for example that the UFC-Queue Chooser has launched a legal battle against the social network and other giants in connection with the lack of respect for the privacy of users. Analysis by Norton Mobile Security could give grist to critics of Facebook. The application of social network on Android has been marked with a flag automatically. Reason: it will automatically send the phone number of the user to the Facebook servers.

 It does not look like much, and may even seem normal. Except, says Norton, that sending the telephone number is the first launch of the application, "even before you hook up" to your Facebook account. "You do not need to provide your number to identify you, or even have a Facebook account for this to happen." This therefore provides a good number of users, since the Facebook application has been downloaded hundreds of millions of times. In fact, most of these users have installed anyway to use Facebook, and had to provide a phone number to the social network, even without it. But is it to Facebook to allow the recovery of data, without the advice of the user? At each judge, but here Norton adopts a restrictive policy, which can be seen well from users a little heated by Facebook, competitors, and practices. Moreover, Facebook said that they did not use the numbers, and have removed from its servers.

If evidence was that the social network walking on eggshells on these issues, and is clearly not comfortable with the analysis of Norton Mobile Security. The new line of Facebook seems to be confirmed: it will be fixed in the next release - a way of saying that this is a bug? However, Norton concludes, "the Facebook application is not only to steel private data, or even worse." Mobile Insight has already analyzed over 4 million Android applications, and added "tens of thousands" per day. Norton Mobile Security and packed with information on the intrusive applications, says the editor, who warns. "You might be surprised by what your applications reveal about you"

Facebook is soon with private chat rooms!

Facebook is testing private chat rooms. According to information from TechCrunch, the new function is currently in the testing phase, which will decide whether they will be introduced for all users of the social network or not.

It is about personal chat areas, as TechCrunch reports: A user launches an open chat, which his friends can join if they want. They learn about their timeline of the open chat room. The initiator may exclude friends he does not want to invite into his chat room. According to TechCrunch host chats started from the field for Facebook status updates out. The options "Status" and "Photos / Videos" then came as the opportunity for "Start chat" list. The user can enter the chat topic or a name and make privacy settings. Then, a reference to the open chat room in the timeline of his friends to join him by clicking appears. The conversation then takes place in a normal chat window. Currently testing is going on for Facebook chat rooms in a small circle. It is not yet decided whether the function is available for all visitors in the future or not. The advantage of chat rooms for Facebook would be that users would spend on the website so even more time.

Apple Thinks Color Correction in FCP X

Apple was recently awarded a Patent No. 8,468,465 for a 2D interface to make color corrections on a video clip. The patent application for the "2D Slider Control" was filed with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office in August 2010, a year before the release of Final Cut Pro X. Among the "inventors", worth mention is certain Peter Warner, based in Paris and characterized "Designer at Apple," according to his LinkedIn profile. The rest of the beneficiaries are located in California (Los Gatos, San Jose, Livermore, SF and more). Final Cut Pro X also uses a different GUI for the color calibration part, with a representation of the color range in the form of a rectangle. The 8,468,465 patent meanwhile, uses the more traditional form of "color wheel". The interface changes the appearance of the cursor when moving in the wheel to indicate a change in intensity of the color. But the cursor will remain the same if we simply rotate around the central axis, thereby maintaining the same level of saturation for this new color. Will the 8,468,465 patent move to the graveyard of many patents the manufacturer never made consistency? They will do it, instead, in a new version of FCPX, or an X Color?
