<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The smartphone makers know that users always fantasize about buying the thinnest phone in the market. This inspires them to come up with new solutions and spend more on R&D to make their next flagship even thinner. When we talk about this fantasy of users and technology companies, Apple is no exception.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In the past, we’ve encountered rumors regarding new headphone jack design being patented by Apple. According to a new report from Japanese blog Macotakara, Apple is planning to remove the familiar 3.5mm headphone jack from the next iPhone i.e. iPhone 7.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The blog states that 3.5mm headphone jacks are world standard and it can hardly be thinner – so Apple is planning to remove it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The design for the next iPhone is so thin that Apple is planning to bring the Lightning connector along with an inbuilt digital-to-analog converter into this connector. Due to this change, the third-party headphone makers would need to bundle the Lighting adaptors with their 3.5mm headphones (or bring Lighting port models only).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As for now, this is a rumor.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Talking about the arguments against it, it could be really irritating for some users. The 3.5mm headphone jack is an industry standard and one of the most widely accepted technology standard in the world.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Let’s suppose you’ve spent tons of money on a premium headphone and you need an adapter to use it. Let’s suppose you’ve spent tons of money on a premium headphone and you need an adapter to use it.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In the past, when original iPhone was launched with recessed 3.5mm jack, many headphones didn’t fit and Apple was on the receiving end. Wisely, Apple stepped back.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now Apple is the biggest brand on Earth and that has changed many technology standards. Ditching the 3.5mm headphone jack in iPhone 7 could be a big gamble, but Apple appears prepared to take this risk (and tons of profit).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Swedish file-sharing website The Pirate Bay is one of the most popular service providers in the game. From time-to-time, the website has faced the fury of law enforcement agencies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">However, in a recent landmark decision of the District Court of Stockholm, it was ruled that copyright owners can not force the Swedish ISP Bredbandsbolaget to block The Pirate Bay. The court found that Bredbandsbolaget’s operations are not responsible for the illegal activities of some ‘pirate’ customers.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">TorrentFreak reports that last year Hollywood giants like WB, Sony, Universal, and Swedish Film Industry joined hands and filed a lawsuit to force the Swedish ISP to block the notorious website.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The court found that the ISP was just an internet provider who pipes the internet traffic from and to its service users. So, if some traffic flow involves uploading and downloading of copyright-protected files using The Pirate Bay, it’s not ISP’s mistake.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">“A unanimous district court considers, therefore, that it is not in a position to authorize such a ban as the rights holders want, and therefore rejects their request,” said presiding Chief Magistrate Anders Dereborg.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">It’s being expected that this case will end up in the higher Swedish courts. The record labels have been given a time limit of December 18 to challenge the decision in the Svea Court of Appeal. Also, to compensate the ISP’s costs, labels are required to pay about US$160,000.</span></div>

HAIZE – A Compass Based Navigation System for Your Bicycle

Shivam Patsariya 0 GadgetsNdMachines, Science, tech 11:53 AM

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><img alt="bicycle navigation" height="302" loading="lazy" src="http://d2brer6wwumtdu.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/haze02.jpg" width="640" /><b>SP's: </b>HAIZE is a compass based navigation system designed for bicycle riders, allows them to freely roam around the city or the wild forests, if you have the guts, and reach their destination without any hassle. Created by Onomo, it scheduled to be delivered by June 2016.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This time it is HAIZE by Onomo, another kickstarter project pledged to change the world by what we can call, transforming the way how we use our bicycles. HAIZE is a navigation system based on a compass and an app along with it, allows you to explore the city at your will and helps you reach your destination in spite of wherever you’ve been roaming around.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">With visual resemblance similar to some out of the world gadget, HAIZE comfortably adapts the shape and size of your bicycle handle, thanks to the rubber band strap it features. After connecting successfully with the companion app on your Android or iOS, HAIZE is fully determined with its job and helps you zig-zag through the city streets or wherever you like.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">HAIZE is fabricated with anodized aluminium providing it a sleek and sturdy build accompanied by a set of 23 LEDs appointed to safely transport you and your bike to any destination you like. In the technical bundle, it has a magnetometer sensor to track direction along with an accelerometer and a gyroscope sensor which helps HAIZE know its position.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It also power-packs a 300mAh battery which lasts for around 2 weeks of normal usage. HAIZE also features a Bluetooth 4.0 radio, so it can befriend your smartphone and synchronize your trip data.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">HAIZE has two working modes:</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Compass Mode: </span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In this mode, you only have to feed your destination in the companion app and HIAZE is fully prepared to keep an eye on you, no matter wherever you’re, in some busy street or somewhere exploring the nature’s beauty or even if you are outside a lion’s cave with goose bumps all over body. The LEDs always point in the direction of your destination, so you are not stranded in some unknown street while you are on your voyage.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Navigation Mode: </span></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This mode is meant to assist you with turn by turn navigation as soon as you type your destination in the app. In this mode, HAIZE doesn’t let you do what you want, but keeps you on the right track every time, so you can speed towards your destination without any disturbance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Additionally, the app keeps the track of your past trips and other technical details which shouldn’t bother about. You only have to just type the location and put the phone in your pocket, HAIZE will take on the task thereon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It all started with a quest,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">How can we re-invent the compass to give us a better navigation experience?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And after six prototypes and a lot of hard work, the creators do have an idea about how to proceed with their quest. As of now, they just want to say:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">We are almost ready to get HAIZE out on the road.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The creators have managed to collect £20,071 out of the £50,000 pledged amount, and they’ve plans to deliver HAIZE by June 2016.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Zuckerberg responded to a query of stopping the annoying Candy Crush invitations while he was addressing the students. During the promotion of the event, someone posted this to his post, “I don’t want any more invitations to Candy Crush. How can I stop it?”  It is not a surprise that this was the top voted question on his thread. (By the way, here’s how to stop the Candy Crush Requests)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As Zuckerberg replied,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"This is where these Town Hall Q&As are really useful because I actually saw this question, that it was the top voted question on my thread. So I sent a message to the person who runs the team in charge of our developer platform and I said by the time I do this Town Hall Q&A, I think it would be good if we had a solution to this problem."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Millions of people who feel the same (at least I do) about the Candy Crush requests should be thankful of this student because Mark Zuckerberg has promised to find the solution for this nuisance. If you don’t know the gravity of this problem then see the pent up frustration of the public for yourself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Zuckerberg said that his developer team did not look through into the matter as hitherto because they didn’t know Candy Crush requests were this big a problem. But seeing the response himself, he will now give it a top priority.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Addressing at the event the CEO of the world’s one of the most valuable brands reflected that he had committed every possible mistake during the early day of Facebook and advised the students to not be afraid of committing mistakes, and instead learn from them and work hard to be successful. He also talked about the net neutrality issue and why it was so important for his company to provide easy access to knowledge to everyone in this world.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, that being the second problem that he just addressed. The first one was the Facebook dislike or empathy button to which he obliged to the users who were so eager to have it on their web page.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">King’s Candy Crush developers have not yet commented on Facebook’s plans.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So, on a personal note, I would like to thank Mr. Zuckerberg for his kind attention to both these topics and hope that his team comes up with a plan soon.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>SP's:  </b>MIT researchers have developed an RF capture device that could identify human silhouettes through the wall by using WiFI signals. The device is machine trained to recognize humans while profiling the major body parts.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Imagination sees no ends. WiFi signals which were looked upon as a mere medium of data services or at max as a battery charger hitherto has been put up to another function by the scientists. The MIT researchers have devised a technology that use wireless signals to profile and identify silhouettes of the people beyond the walls.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The research team of the institute’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab had been using wireless signals for quite some time. Now they have come up with the RF-Capture technique that is trained to recognize different people based on their WiFi imagery.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The technology is intricate, but the idea is fairly simple though. The WiFi signal coming through the wall will be reflected by a human body and then captured by the device. The captured signals are then processed and the noise removed through a software.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As the data is received, it is fed to the algorithms that have been trained through machine learning techniques to detect the bodily features and release a coarse human model with major body parts as head chest arms and feet along with classification of different silhouettes on basis of height and other subtleties.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">MIT, in spite of being the most insecure university campus in America, is one of the main centers of innovation and developments of the world. Like with this one, the researchers are aiming to provide help to the elderly. Through this device, people can monitor their grandparents in the other room and even call 911 in case of emergency.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The technology is still in developing stage and researchers are trying to minimize the privacy concerns that could arise with this device.</span></div>

Yamaha Builds A Robot That Drives Motorcycles and Challenges World Champion Rossi

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>SP's: </b>Yamaha pulled a big one in the Tokyo Motor Show as it showcased its superbike riding Robot rather than any showing any ceremonious unconventional motorbike. Named Motobot, this humanoid is improving every day to give the champion racers a run for their money. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">While others were busy showing what their automobile has got, Yamaha displayed a marvel of engineering and AI at the Tokyo Motor Show. It wasn’t just any superbike or a green fuel motorcycle, but a humanoid that could effectively control and zoom on Yamaha’s 1000cc R1M.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">As humans were already pissed off of the fact that machines would take their jobs becoming a doctor, lawyer and architect, Motobot and the flavour of the season, self-driving cars, have taken the drivers’ seat as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Motobot is the product of an intense R&D effort in robotics technology and Yamaha’s aim to create a robot that could cruise any unmodified bike. And if you are a rider yourself, you would understand that this task is no easy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Yamaha released a video showing Motobot riding its superbike with ease and in its childish voice even called out the MotoGP world champion, Valentino Rossi as he said, “I am improving my skills every day. I was created to surpass you.” But, unlike other superstars, Motobot is quite humble and realises that he needs to learn from the master to catch up to him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The superbike riding robot has caught every speed lover’s attention for the ultimate battle between the man and the machine on a superbike. However, the makers are still working to improve Motobot skills until it touches 200 kph on a racetrack.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Yamaha wants to use its state-of-the-art technology to ‘pioneer new lines of business’ which has left many wondering what could it be! Could we be witnessing a humanoid MotoGP now?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b>SP's: </b>Motorola is bringing an all-weather durable phone DROID Turbo 2 and claims it as the perfect phone for the imperfect people.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It doesn’t matter how advanced or smart your smartphone is if it gets shattered each time it falls! The flaw isn’t fixated to Apple iPhones, which if you remember would bend inside your pockets, but to almost all the phones (except vintage Nokia) that would easily break.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Motorola has, however, come up with its own hulk version of a smartphone that just won’t break. Motorola DROID Turbo 2 is the phone which won’t bother you with the unnecessary care-taking measures while using. The DROID Turbo 2 runs on the USP of a shatterproof display along with several upgrades and is a strong contender for the people’s choice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Turbo2 display has a five-layered structure that absorb shocks keeping your smartphone’s screen intact, claims Motorola. Also, the display is little elastic rather than being rigid to incorporate up to a certain amount force.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Motorola DROID Turnbo 2 has a 5.4-inch Quad HD (2560 x 1440) display which comes with a four-year warranty against shattering and cracking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">After Motorola showcased its phone’s sturdiness against iPhone in an advertisement, the skeptics at CNN performed some of their own tests to check the claims of the perfect phone for the imperfect people.</span></div>
