Inbox App From Google Makes Email Simpler


Inbox App
Inbox, in its present state, is basically an option to your usual Gmail account. While the entire look of Gmail has just changed a little in recent few months, Inbox includes Google's latest Material Design idea, which presents an admiring user interface with consistent colors all through the app. Such a design pattern expands to all versions of this Inbox, comprising iOS or the devices of Android etc.

Gmail's new features of Categories try to place incoming email messages under the generic tabs. The sending emails are put into a wider variety of more particular headings, named as, Bundles.

Description of Bundles

Bundles are mainly accordion folders for definite categories within the inbox. It sets all emails in one label under a single line within your inbox, and then you may click to enlarge the label by not leaving the inbox. Theoretically, it is very parallel to the action of the Priority Inbox, excluding the notifications that are not seen in the tabs and they are a line item in the inbox.

For most of the parts, the app works very well, and it forms a simple header through a color-coded pattern to indicate emails of a particular type by date, week, as well as by month. This Inbox will also throw a few pictures or in other words, highlights, from those emails found on the header and as a result it becomes very simple for you to get any attachment that you are searching.

Function of the Feature- Reminders

Gmail always included a choice to form a to-do list by means of Tasks; however now Reminders can take it to the next advanced level, they will be shown just within the inbox. Just as the other aspects, you can use Reminders whenever you like in its folder through a left-hand menu. This Reminders feature functions really well, mostly when it gets combined with another function known as- Snooze.
Snooze- Another Next Addition to the App

Not all the reminders or any email that you form within Inbox will require your instant attention and it is the point where Snooze feature comes to help. Just as an alarm clock, you need to fix the reminder to aware you about them afterward. After that fixed particular time, Google offers you some options like:

  • Snooze to an exact time 
  •  Snoozing up to someday- Here, if you think you may wish to open an email afterward, but not certain when, you may prefer to snooze the email. Mostly, the email will stay in the Snooze folder if you do not remove it. 
  •  You can snooze until you reach somewhere. But it can be done in the mobile only and it allows you to track location.
Besides these, there are also some other features added. However, Inbox does not allow you to see more than one email account at the same time. You may swipe among the accounts from the very top menu; however this seems very awkward if it is compared to the Mail app, found in iOS that allows you to see all of the message threads of different accounts in a long inbox.

Cockroach Cyborgs Use Microphones to Detect Sounds


Cyborg Cockroach
Search dogs or rescue dogs are really wonderful but they have some limitations because they are not able to adjust into small spaces. A group of researchers has now come forward with a solution by creating cyborg cockroaches that are equipped with ultra-modern backpacks.

Neuroscientists such as Greg Gage as well as Tim Marzullo believe that hacking insects might inspire children to research and develop electronic interfaces related to the human nervous system. So, they developed Robo Roach kit that comprises all the techs needed for insect neurosurgery.

The Main Structure of the Cyborg Cockroach

These cyborg cockroaches, which are also known as biobots, are discovered by the researchers of North Carolina State University. A pack of quarter-size is put onto the back of the insect and along with it; a microphone is attached to detect high-resolution sound. A version of this pack has the microphone to sense sound, coming from any direction and this sound would be wirelessly transmitted. The second version has the structure of the three directional microphones to make out the direction or source of a sound.

Reason of Such Invention

These biobots are intended to be installed in disaster regions as helpers for the primary responders looking for victims, who, for example are buried under debris. According to Dr. Alper Bozkurt who is an assistant professor of NC State, the use of high-resolution microphone is mainly to differentiate two sounds- the emergency sound like victims’ calling for help and the unimportant sound like sound of pipe leakage.

If the intended sounds can be detected, then the biobot will be used to know the source of the sound. These small creatures may also be remotely managed with small circuit boards that are joined to their nervous systems.

The scientists have also invented a system of invisible fence that keeps the electrical the electrical cockroaches within a definite area. Keeping these insects within a particular disaster zone and to its nearby area lets them to work as the wireless network of mobile. This machinery can also be employed to take the cockroaches under sunlight so that their backpacks would be recharged.

The Process of Creating these Cockroaches

The cockroaches are put in ice water as a type of simple anesthetic. It is then advised to sand down a bit of shell on top of the cockroach's head and adhesive electrodes to the smooth part. Then, a ground wire is attached into the thorax of cockroach, that is, the area between its neck and its stomach.

Then, it is the antennae are trimmed with care and the small silver electrodes are struck in them and as a result, it will get the indication from the circuit, which is connected to the back part of cockroach.

The neuroscientists can move the cockroach left side and right after its surgery. The movements are regulated by electrodes within their antennae, and the cockroach will react to directions from any of wireless indicator sent from Smartphone.

The small backpack that the cockroach puts on communicates straight with its neurons by delivering small electrical pulses. After some minutes, the cockroach can adjust itself to cyborg fixture.

Now Fight Zombies without a Season Pass - Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Call of Duty
Taking three years in development with the franchise, Sledgehammer Games have brought about a newer level of experience to the multiple players platform in "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Day Zero Edition" as Activision Blizzard mentioned of a new release of entry in the popular Call of Duty series.

In spite of the fact that this is a newer level of experience for the multiple players, this does not go without controversy as the gamers were more concerned not about what the game offered in the general but more about what the game lacks in like the zombie mode which they enjoy and benefit from. Most of the gamers were more so annoyed as the players had access to game content which was worth US$50 before the decision to package the Zombies mode with a Season Pass was taken which eventually effected the gamers. However this mistaken email sent from GameStop was a spark that rose anger or fear which apparently caused a confusion as per Activision spokesperson Kyle Walker.

As confirmed to the source that all players jut like yesteryears will still be able access the Zombie content via DLC he says that the season pass is not the only way to get to zombies but its just another pass to get all DLC at discounted rates. As mentioned by Walker " Sledgehammer team created a surprise for their fans with the zombies in the AW being an Easter egg, just shows their own new take and new style of creation on zombies to be presented to their fans"

As quoted by CEO Eric Hirshberg to Activision Publishing that three years ago the decisions they have taken to actually invest into a three year development cycle and as well as to make bout.Sledgehammer Games the first new lead studio for Call of Duty in a decade was not a bad decisions as it paid off which resulted in a fantastic game which involves a good story, performance, graphics and mechanics that makes it better than an adrenaline rush than Call of Duty which exists and that is what results are all about.

In the new Call of Duty the gamers start with the World War II-Era involving American and the Soviet Soldiers where the players now can gear up in exoskeletons and go through a world where terrorists are defeated by technology.

An epic performance of Kevin Spacey makes him a James Bond style super villain wo dons a power suit of another tools who is bent to dominate the world with the corporate type of new weapons The notable fact of Spacey's role is the advanced versions of the storytelling elements used in the 1960's but with full motion videos.

As said by Billy Pidgeon (independent video game industry analyst) to the source that animation is getting so goo that and more famous that its hard to differentiate between animated sequences from the actual filmed video. They added to say that with the computer animation technology growing so advanced it is getting really hard to differentiate where computer is generated.

NASA Releases Crazy Video Shot From a Camera, Inside a Ball of Water in the Space

 Water in the Space
The International Space Station is expected to keep on offering what we know the best entry we can have to what life off-Earth is overall like, and this will keep on happening as long as we consider Interstellar as part of science fiction.

Chris Hadfield's famous Bowie rendition has clearly demonstrated as to how the crews of international astronauts who have lived in the space station has always tried their best to convey the overall experience of living in space to the people of Earth and that too making sure that they don’t need rocket power to get the feel of the experience. A person doesn’t need to literally leave their bond with the gravity to understand the life of the astronauts in space.

So what is the clip all about?

NASA astronaut Don Pettit shot footage of the International space station in the year 2012 using a 3D camera.
The footage can be accessed at This video gives the viewers a floating tour of the of the confined interiors of the International Space Station but if see the footage closely one of the most exciting part to see is when Don Pettit has directed the camera to capture the views of the Russian Soyuz capsule docked just above the International Space Station.

But in the recent times, what can be considered as one of the most insane video clips that has been posted online is the clip posted from the astronauts' adventures in the microgravity 3D cinematography.
This video highlights the behavior of water aboard the International Space Station. The video shows how the team was able to create a softball-size sphere of water due to the surface tension in space. The team took the advantage of this tension which basically makes the water form a ball rather than bead up, as it is bound to do on a non-permeable surface on Earth.

After forming the ball, the team has inserted as the GoPro camera inside and taken the outside view from inside the ball. Although the released clip requires a person to wear red-blue stereoscopic 3D vision glasses, but a 2D version is easily available in YouTube as part of pair of clips released by NASA.
Who is part of the clip?
The video clearly highlights the fun astronauts at NASA had while shooting, and adds an extra dimension in the lives of the people living in the space. NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman and Steve Swanson and Alexander Gerst (European Space Agency astronaut) feature in this video clip.
