The 300lb robot in the video can be seen stomping its way in the forest with a power cable tethered to its back. Atlas running in the woods reminisces of G I Joe’s exoskeletons. Engineers at Boston Dynamics are working to get a better power source for the Atlas with funding from DARPA.</div>

The current drill is to make Google’s humanoid learn how to find its way out in the world. Atlas’s “eyes” is the laser radar system which is similar to Google’s self-driving car.</div>

But, according to this new development, the days of frequent charging will soon be a thing of the past. MIT and Samsung have partnered in an effort to make batteries with “indefinite” lifetime. Research is going on to bring in innovative methods like <span style="border: 0px; color: #3366ff; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">WiFi charging</span> for smartphones as well.</div>

The battery has three basic components. One of those is the liquid electrolyte. The scientists have discovered a way to create an indefinite battery lifetime by replacing the liquid electrolyte with a solid-state electrolyte.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The findings are being termed by the MIT as a “game changer” for the battery industry. The solid state electrolyte will protect the battery from the degradation due to continuous charging and discharging cycles eventually making its lifespan much longer, “<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">hundreds of thousands of cycles” </em>to be exact. That would mean bye-bye inflated phone batteries as well.</div>

Also, the problem with conventional batteries such as overheating and flammable potencies are not encountered in the solid electrolyte battery. The power capacity in the solid state electrolyte batteries is also 20 to 30 percent higher.</div>

So, this achievement would mean you can afford to forget your charger from now on.</div>

This Windows 10 preview is Build 10525 and is currently available for fast track Windows Insiders. According to the company, the Windows Insider Program will focus on delivering Windows OS as a service. Keeping the promise of regular post-launch Windows builds, the service model of Windows 10 makes sense now. Just like always, if you are a Windows insider, you’ll get these Windows 10 builds before everyone else.</div>

These post-launch Windows 10 builds are released by improving the OS based on the feedback received. So, Microsoft’s Windows Insider program continues. This is being called the next phase of the Windows Insider program and OS maker expects the testers to test the build enthusiastically and give their feedback.</div>

The Windows 10 insiders running the Fast Ring of the program have got the early access to build 10525. This new build brings some cool changes like new color options and users can now express their individuality with personalized colors. This is an addition to Windows 10 from the previous versions of the operating system.</div>

While this professional overclocker acheiver speeds up to 7GHz using Intel Core i7 Skylake processors, it would be interesting to notice if the retail versions of these microprocessor chip will be able to kiss even 5GHz mark with the commercially available cooling systems. Another point that needs to be looked upon is the use of single core instead of all four. This extreme overclocking is surely interesing, but with changing times, the value of single-core CPU is diminishing.</div>

 For the distributionists do indeed have powerful distribution channels, Google and Facebook, and pretenders like LinkedIn, which is spam central. None of them actually create content, and they certainly have little intention of paying for it, but they do redistribute the content created by others – they would argue that such redistribution is a natural extension of their role as social networks. I would argue that much of the redistribution is an unnatural act</div>

Mr. Thomson didn’t even care for euphemism as he came up with his own glossary for Alphabet, the newly conceived parent company of Google. According to him, “A should stand for Avarice, B for Bowdlerize, through to K for Kleptocracy, P for Piracy and Zealotry defines Google with Z.”</div>

The thing is, no one wants to pay for the online content anymore which means the business is already becoming less profiting for the media companies and the content is being exploited by distributionists such as Facebook and Google consequently devaluing other brands.</div>

All of us know Android is build on top of Java platform though it uses different VM, a trimmed down version of JVM. Also, Java which is now under Oracle, has put up case against Google for copying it code. Oracle has expanded the scope of its ongoing copyright battle against Android and accused Google of “destroying” the market for Java.<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

In San Francisco district court, late last month, Oracle made a request to broaden its case against Android after filing a supplemental complaint that encompasses the six new Android versions that have come out since Oracle originally filed its case back in 2010: Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, Kit Kat, and Lollipop.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Oracle charged Goolge saying:</div>

As with previous versions of Android, these six Android releases copy thousands of lines of source code from the Java platform, as well as the structure, sequence and organization of that platform. Just as before, this copying constitutes copyright infringement.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Since Google has expanded beyond smartphones over the years to include wearable devices, TVs, cars and various household appliances. Oracle is concerned about mobile platform dramatic adaptation as well, it said, thereby bolstering Google’s core source of revenue and allowing the search giant to<em style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">reap enormous profits from both its direct and indirect exploitation of the infringing code</em>.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit;">As a result of all this, Oracle’s Java business has been seriously harmed, it said.</span></div>

Oracle wrote:</div>

Given the widespread dominance Android has achieved with its continued unauthorized use of the 37 Java API packages over the past few years, Android has now irreversibly destroyed Java’s fundamental value proposition as a potential mobile device operating system.</div>

Oracle demands a declaratory judgment, an injunction, damages and an order covering its costs and attorney’s fees. Google declined to comment for this story. Oracle did not respond immediately to a request for comment.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In May 2012, a San Francisco jury decided that Google infringed Oracle’s copyright, but it was split on the question of fair use, which permits copying under limited circumstances. The judge in the case, William Alsup, later decided that Oracle’s Java programming interfaces were ineligible for copyright protection.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A federal appeals court partially reversed that decision in May 2014, ruling that programming interfaces in Oracle’s Java technology can be protected under U.S. copyright law. Google then appealed to the Supreme Court, which rejected the case in June.</div>

Greenfield has frequently articulated about the ill hazards posed by the Internet use and social media. Among the ill effects claimed by her low personal identity, less social interaction and low self-esteem find a place. Her study also suggested that children who spent a lot of time playing games online are prone to shorter attention span and aggression. But, all such claims were refuted by the British Medical Journal on the grounds of not having enough scientific data to prove the same.</div>

This research has created a lot of confusion in the minds of the parents of adolescents who don’t know who to believe.
