Speed camera radar (PRO) The latest version supports all the countries of the world! The workflow of the application differs from the hardware radar detector. Hardware radar detector – is a passive receiver that does not block the signal to which it is set, but simply notify the driver of the presence in the field of the radar radio interference. This application works differently, it uses a database of hazards previously detected by other users. For example, if the application is informed about mobile ambush, it means that at this point can probably be mobile ambush. Any user can add new hazard to shared database. Also user can influence on rating of hazard (when user get danger alert he can define whether danger exists or not in fact). The application plays the sound and shows hazard on the map and distance to this hazard. If you are connected to the internet you will be able to monitor the traffic jams. There is a feature update the database of the hazards. The applicatio...

Another week, another Nintendo NX rumour. This time, industry tipster Geno who has a surprisingly solid track record chimes in with what to expect from the House of Mario's next console. "I don't have many details on the device itself but I do have some background for it and some PR techniques they will use for it. A thing to note about this device is that much of its production was started in 2014 and many [sic] of the stuff I list here was outlined by the late Satoru Iwata before his passing. Hence in the company, the NX is considered the last project of their late president," the insider said in conversation with Dual Pixels. "Employees since his passing utter a phrase at the end of meetings and during idea brainstorms which is "岩田のために!" which roughly translates "For Iwata!"" (Also see: Nintendo NX Tipped to Come With 900p, 60fps Support ) According to Geno, motivation at Nintendo is high to deliver a top-notch console. "T...

PlayStation TV (PSTV) - Sony's attempt at having a presence in the micro-console space - seems to be on the way out. While the company has not made an official announcement, eagle-eyed industry enthusiasts at NeoGAF noted that the official Sony Japan website mentions "end of shipments (translated)". What this indicates is that the device is discontinued in the country. This should come as no surprise. The PlayStation TV has been relegated to bargain bin status in stores the world over. For a substantial period of time, you could buy one in the US for $20 (around Rs. 1,400). In India it retailed for Rs. 9,990 with four games, a PS3 controller, and an 8GB memory card. Though that might sound like a decent proposition, it's a poor buy what with an 8GB memory card being barely hold four PS Vita games and cost in excess of Rs. 2,000 each, the value proposition doesn't look as pretty.

OnePlus last month rolled out OxygenOS 2.2.0 for its latest smartphone, the OnePlus X . However, after the OTA update some users reported image corruption issues with the handset. To resolve the issue the Chinese tech company on Friday started rolling out a hotfix for the OnePlus X camera. The announcement comes from a OnePlus forum administrator. "We are pushing out a hotfix for the image corruption issue some of you have been seeing with the OnePlus Camera after the last update. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused, we expect to see this issue fully resolved with this update," the admin posted on the company forum. It has been added that since the update is incremental, it will take some time to reach all the OnePlus X smartphones. It is worth mentioning that the OTA update will keep the handset at OxygenOS 2.2.0 and will weigh 9.5MB. OnePlus X earlier this month went invite-free in India. The move follows company's decision from last week to make available...

Microsoft is likely to make a number of announcements about HoloLens on Monday. The Redmond, Washington-based company could begin taking pre-orders for its $3,000 HoloLens Development Edition ahead of its March 30 launch. The company is also expected to unveil three HoloLens games. Last week, leaked documentation of HoloLens revealed that the company plans to host an event on Monday. It appears Microsoft indeed plans to give us an update on its first augmented reality project. Fortune Magazine accidentally published a story over the weekend, revealing all the details. The post, which was supposedly under embargo, has been retracted since. According to the report, HoloLens users will also get Fragments, Young Conker, and RoboRaid game titles. Fragments, for instance, is a game that happens around the wearer in his or her living room. Players are required to investigate clues. RoboRaid "utilises spatial sound as a gameplay feature," and alerts gamers about the directions ...

Taking cue from a study showcasing a prevailing male dominance over both online and offline space, social networking site Twitter recently launched #Positionofstrength campaign to empower women to raise voices against any form of discrimination. The movement, which has been already been launched in Australia and Ireland, seeks to bridge the gender equality gap online in India and "inspire the next generation of women leaders to have an influential voice in society." "We have heard from many women influencers who have used Twitter to drive awareness on gender pay gap, childcare, domestic violence, healthcare and flexible work. With the introduction of #PositionOfStrength, we hope to strengthen the women empowerment movement and encourage women to amplify their voices in a secure and confident manner," says Mahima Kaul,Public Policy Head, Twitter India.

Neurostimulation, a brain stimulation technique originally developed to help patients with brain injuries such as strokes and depression, can also be used to improve learning and skill retention in pilots, says a study. Researchers from US-based HRL Laboratories used transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to show that the technique can be effectively used to improve skills of pilots learning to fly. "We measured the brain activity patterns of six commercial and military pilots and then transmitted these patterns into novice subjects as they learned to pilot an airplane in a realistic flight simulator," said Dr Matthew Phillips from HRL's information and system sciences Laboratory. The team found that participants who received brain stimulation via electrode-embedded head caps improved their piloting abilities. "We measured the average g-force of the plane during the simulated landing and compared it to control subjects who received a mock brain stimulat...

If your Mac isn't connecting to the Internet, you can blame Apple for that. The Cupertino-based company has admitted that a recent update to the operating system rendered the Ethernet port on the machine useless for at least some people. The company has explained on the support website about how one can fix the glitch. You can also do it manually, in case connecting your machine to the Internet wirelessly is also not possible. Over the weekend, users began to complain of connectivity issues with Ethernet port on "most" Mac computers. They claimed that a Kernel extension update, which has since been pulled, blacklisted the BCM5701 driver, which is supposedly responsible for the correct functioning of the Ethernet port. Apple has acknowledged the issue and urges users to update to Kernel extension version 3.28.2 or make some changes to the system manually. Check System Information on your system (by opening Spotlight and searching for System Information) to pinpoint t...

Pass a billboard while driving in the next few months, and there is a good chance the company that owns it will know you were there and what you did afterward. Clear Channel Outdoor Americas, which has tens of thousands of billboards across the United States, will announce Monday that it has partnered with several companies, including AT&T , to track people's travel patterns and behaviors through their mobile phones. By aggregating the trove of data from these companies, Clear Channel Outdoor hopes to provide advertisers with detailed information about the people who pass its billboards to help them plan more effective, targeted campaigns. With the data and analytics, Clear Channel Outdoor could determine the average age and gender of the people who are seeing a particular billboard in, say, Boston at a certain time and whether they subsequently visit a store. "In aggregate, that data can then tell you information about what the average viewer of that billboard looks l...

The social networking website Facebook can be used to track people's sleeping habits by building up a database of when your friends were seen last online busy chatting or "liking" posts on Facebook, a media report said. "Many people visit Facebook as the first thing in the morning and the last thing before going to bed. It is, therefore, possible to get a good impression of their sleeping habits," said San Francisco-based software engineer Soren Louv-Jansen in a Mail Online report. For the study, Louv-Jansen used "time stamps" from Facebook's Messenger service to see when his friends were asleep. He was curious to see where the "last seen" data was coming from and after doing some research, he found a list of his Facebook friends' user IDs and last activity "time stamps". This, he added, is embedded in the initial mark-up of Messenger.com and can be viewed by simply visiting the website and clicking "View Source...

Scientists have created an energy efficient biological supercomputer that is able to process information very quickly and accurately using parallel networks in the same way that massive electronic supercomputers do. The model of bio supercomputer, which opens doors to creation of biological supercomputers that are not only small but also more sustainable, was created by an international team of researchers led by professor Dan Nicolau from Canada's McGill University . According to an article, published recently in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the supercomputer is a whole lot smaller than current supercomputers, uses much less energy, and uses proteins present in all living cells to function. "We've managed to create a very complex network in a very small area," said professor Nicolau. He began working on the idea with his son, Dan Jr., more than a decade ago and was then joined by colleagues from Germany, Sweden and the Netherland...

"Do you really have to write about this?" an e-sports organiser asked us, when talking about the debacle that was the Video Game Fest (VGF), which took place about a month ago in Pune. He was fearful that it might put off gamers and fans from competitive gaming altogether, and with good reason. The e-sports "scene" in India has been a troubled one, and VGF Pune was only the latest disaster. The worst incident was probably the Indian Gaming Carnival (IGC), which took place in 2012. Organised by a company called WTF Eventz, the IGC promised a massive Rs. 1.5 crore prize pool, but instead it saw events and entire games canceled at the last minute. One of the international teams to attend, Counter-Strike players Moscow Five, ended up in the semi-finals of the tournament before the entire event was canceled. Things ended on an even more sour note , as the team's hotel room was broken into, and they were robbed while in India for the tournament. That was three yea...

A doctor's initiative in harnessing technology has produced an application which can help locate a person trapped in debris in an earthquake or other disasters when communications fail. Pradeep Bhardwaj, CEO of Six Sigma High Altitude Medical Services for Rescue, says his company has developed a software application which can be tracked through the mobile phone. The concept is based on ham radio used by amateurs to communicate with one another. However, the application developed by Six Sigma, which can be downloaded to a mobile phone, is not for communication but for continuously sending out a signal which can be detected by special equipment. "The application does not require mobile network or internet connection to communicate. This is based on satellite which will continuously transmit coded signals but which cannot be used to communicate," Bhardwaj to IANS. The transmitted signals can be detected within a radius of 50 kilometres. He said that keeping the security...

The Raspberry Pi foundation has launched the third version of its popular low-power Raspberry Pi development platform, the Raspberry Pi 3. It's priced at $35, the same as the Raspberry Pi 2 mini computer unveiled last year. Raspberry Pi Founder Eben Upton in a blog post announced that the new launch commemorates the company's fourth birthday. Upton also detailed that the company has so far shipped 8 million Raspberry Pi units, including three million Raspberry Pi 2 units. The company claims that Raspberry Pi 2 is the "UK's all-time best-selling computer." Raspberry Pi 3 will go on sale starting Monday from element14 and RS Components, and other resellers. The company also announced that at launch they will be using the same 32-bit Raspbian userland that have been used on other (previous generation) Raspberry Pi devices. The company will decide whether to move to the 64-bit mode over the next few months after investigating. Some of the highlights of the Raspbe...

Multinational computer technology company Dell on Saturday warned that cybercrime increased significantly around the world in 2015 despite organisations deploying end-to-end security solutions perfectly. Cybercriminals employed a number of new tactics to better conceal exploit kits from security systems including the use of anti-forensic mechanisms and URL pattern changes, the company said in its "Security Annual Threat Report". Modifications in landing page entrapment techniques; steganography which is concealing the file, message, image, or video within another file, message, image, or video, and modifications in landing page entrapment techniques, were also used effectively to compromise the security, it added. "Cybercrime has increased significantly around the globe in 2015 and there have been repeated incidents of breaches against organisations who believed that they had carried out their end-to-end security deployment perfectly." said Amit Singh, country ma...

An undeterred Apple continues to put efforts on ramping up security and privacy aspects of its products and services. The latest testament of this comes in a hire that Apple made recently. The Cupertino-based company has recruited Frederic Jacobs, one of the key developers behind critically acclaimed encrypted messaging app Signal . Jacobs shared the news with public on Twitter recently, noting that he has joined the iPhone maker as an intern. He will be working with the CoreOS security team. Given Jacob's background, Apple is likely to utilise his expertise in ramping up the security of iMessage and FaceTime . Signal is one of the most secure messaging apps available. The open-source chatting platform is also Edward Snowden's messaging app of choice. Late last year, Snowden said that he uses Signal every day. The app has been developed by a non-profit organisation called Open Whisper Systems, which also provides its technology to companies such as Facebook. Signal app of...

E-laundry services provider Tooler has denied news reports that it is shutting down its operations. It elaborated that Tooler is downsizing operations from the Delhi-NCR region to just Gurgaon. Tooler Co-Founder Sukanth Srivastav said that the startup had stopped its operations for about fifteen days, from February 2 to February 20, but it wasn't a permanent development. The service is presently operational in Gurgaon. "My customers know that I am open, they are ordering any how," he said. "The problem is, I told somebody something, they understood something, and they published something completely new," said Srivastav. "I just do not have the power to write to everyone that we are not shutting down. I just don't have the bandwidth to tell these sites, so I have left it," The Delhi-based startup, founded by Bhaskar Singh, Sukanth Srivastav, Vishal Gupta, and Himanshu Arora in June 2015 had pivoted from a generic home services provider, focused ...

A robot's nimble steps in a snowy forest have wowed the world's robotics industry. Boston Dynamics, the secretive, Google -owned company, released video of its latest human-like robot tromping through a field slipping occasionally on uneven terrain but always catching its balance. "They've set a new bar," said Aaron Ames, a Georgia Tech robotics professor. "It's a huge step towards getting robots that can actually operate in our world in unstructured environments on uneven terrain." While plenty of two-legged robots can walk, none has been able to navigate uneven, unpredictable terrain. There are no immediate applications for the average consumer, but robotics experts say the new version of Atlas is a building block toward robots that prepare our meals, fold our laundry and care for the elderly. "That robot is out of the lab, outdoors, with no wires. It slips, but doesn't fall down," said Carnegie Mellon roboticist Chris Atkeson. ...
