Be Prepared for a brand new Programming language: M# by Microsoft

Microsoft is apparently creating a brand new programming language to build a non- Windows operating system. The new language came to light on Friday when Microsoft researcher Jim Duffy blogged about it . A ZDNet report says the language is codenamed M# (“M Sharp”), though Duffy doesn’t refer to that name in his post. Duffy describes the language as a set of “systems programming” extensions to C# that offers a better balance between “performance”...

Samsung's New Chips Could Put 4GB of RAM Into Every Phone

There's an inherent trade-off when designing a phone, between pure power and respectable battery life. Fortunately, Samsung's latest memory chips are so efficient that they could make 4GB of RAM in phones an industry standard—and make 4K phones a very real thing indeed. The company's first 1GB low-power DDR4 memory chip uses a higher bandwidth than its predecessors, running at 3.1Gbps to provide a 50 percent speed boost over existing DDR3-based chips....

LG to Unveil webOS- Powered TV

South Korea’s LG Electronics Inc. will soon take the veils off a television model that will run on the “webOS” operating system, highlighting its ambition of creating a prominent operating system for so-called smart TVs. LG bought webOS, a mobile-device operating system, from Hewlett-Packard Co. earlier this year. The operating system was originally developed by Palm Inc. to power smartphones that would compete with the likes of Apple Inc.’s iPhones....

Study suggests we're all susceptible to false memories

Researchers from UC Irvine have found that people with extraordinarily accurate memory are as vulnerable to the inception of fake memories as others, indicating that perhaps nobody is protected from memory distortion. The study, published last month in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, focused on people with highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM), who are able to recall highly specific facts about their lives, like what they...

Samsung launches 110-inch U- HD TV for $150,000 in South Korea

Last year, Samsung and rival LG Electronics, the world’s top two TV makers, touted OLED as the future of TV. OLED screens are ultrathin and can display images with enhanced clarity and deeper colour saturation. But Samsung and LG failed to make OLED TVs a mainstream that would replace the LCD television sets and still struggling to mass produce larger and affordable TVs with OLED. Meanwhile, Japanese media reported last week that Sony Corp. and...

LG Odin processor shows up in Antutu benchmarks

A few days ago information surfaced regarding possible specs for the new LG G3 smartphone expected to be released during 2014. Among those specs was a reference to LG’s Odin processor, their own in-house chip that has been in development for a while now. The ability to produce component parts in house will be a key part of LG’s strategy if they want to challenge Samsung’s supremacy.

Apple iPad Pro: Apple's First Desktop Touch Device

This week’s report that Apple may already be in production on a 12.9″ iPad, dubbed the “Pro,” has been the source of much speculation. In a well researched and reasoned post in ComputerWorld , Mike Elgan comes to the conclusion that it will be an “iPad optimized as a desktop touch computer for education,” specifically as reported in DigiTimes, for the U.S. education market. This, he claims, will solve two of Apple’s most pressing goals, “First: How...

Nexus devices still suffering from several Bluetooth bugs

Nexus devices are great. They get software updates directly from Google very soon after the new versions of Android are made available. The downside of that is that newer versions of Android aren’t always bug-free. We’ve seen Google push out minor updates to Android 4.4 right after release to fix a small number of bugs, but it looks like there are still a handful of issues surrounding Android’s Bluetooth stack that was introduced in 4.2 to replace...

BREAST CANCER SPREADS WHEN TUMORS CAN’T ‘BREATHE’

Lack of oxygen inside a breast cancer tumor can trigger the chain of events that spreads the disease throughout the body, biologists say. The discovery explains how tumors produce two proteins that transform breast cancer cells from rigid and stationery to mobile and invasive—and may lead to new strategies for interrupting the spread of tumors, the process called metastasis. “High levels of RhoA and ROCK1 were known to worsen outcomes for breast...

Android 4.4 KitKat update for Galaxy Ace, Fit, Mini and Gio unofficially available via CyanogenMod 11

The Android 4.4 KitKat update is now unofficially available on several older Samsung Galaxy devices including the Ace, Fit, Mini and Gio. Samsung is yet to release the KitKat update for several of its flagship devices let alone older models, but since Google’s Android 4.4 OS version is compatible with smartphones and tablets that have at least 512MB of RAM, we’re not surprised to see more “old” low-end to mid-range devices get the update.

Why do so many galaxies in space look Flat, Thin and Stretched Out.

Flat. Like a streak across space. Thin. Stretched out. How come whenever we see galaxies, they always look like this? NASA has the answer. And it has something to do with how a ball of dough becomes pizza. This image of spiral galaxy ESO 373-8 was captured by NASA with the Hubble telescope. It shows a galaxy that's 25 million light years away but its shape already seems so familiar. Why is that? NASA explains: Try spinning around in your chair with...

7 Tips for Building a Social Media Audience

Self-proclaimed "social media gurus" are a dime a dozen these days. When it comes to a successful social media marketing strategy, it can be tough for small businesses to sort through the noise, statistics and flurry of misinformation. One statistic we found online, for instance, claims that a Facebook fan is worth about $174 — but ask a small business with 300 Facebook fans if they've seen that $52,200 reflected in their revenues and you're...

NASA's next robot rover squishes like a child's toy

In order to land on the Martian surface, NASA's Mars Rover Curiosity went through seven minutes of terror : it plummeted from the sky at 13,000 miles per hour, with only a supersonic parachute and a set of rocket motors to keep it from becoming a crater. However, a team at NASA has a nifty trick up its sleeves for the next time around: a rover made of hollow rods and elastic cable that can squish and bounce. Just like the Skwish, a popular child's...

Large-phone lovers on a budget, rejoice: Nokia's 6-inch, $339 Lumia 1320 smartphone is now available in China.

Lumia 1320 packs a whopping 3,400mAh battery for the long-winded, but otherwise has middling specs: a 720p screen, dual- core...

Use a Dummy Google Account for Chrome Extensions to Boost Security

Chrome extensions make life easier, but not all of them are above board. Some of them eat up your data and send it to the developer, leak passwords, and are generally more intrusive than they should be. One easy fix—use a dummy Google account for Chrome, so if it is leaking data, it won't be associated with you. We've heard too many stories lately of Chrome extensions that watch all of your browsing in all of your tabs and report it back to the developer,...

TCL's $330 Idol X+ boasts 2GHz octa-core chip, Bluetooth Activity Tracker

While some of us are still recovering from holiday, the TCL folks in China -- whose products are better known under the Alcatel brand in many other countries -- have gone ahead and launched a new phone. As the name suggests, the Idol X+ is pretty much an updated version of the already impressive Idol X , with the highlight being it's the first device to carry the 2GHz bin of the octa-core MT6592 SoC (with 2GB RAM).

LG G3 Specs: Leaked

The LG G3 probably won’t be released for at least 8 months, but it’s never to early to speculate what the hardware will be. According to “unidentified industry sources,” the LG G3 will support a 2,560 x 1,440 IPS LCD display, an octa-core processor, and a 16MP rear camera. We presume the octa-core will be LG’s own processor codenamed “Odin.” The big question is if this processor will be widely available for all regions or be similar to Samsung’s...

Dreaming

There use to be a time when our fantasies were just one in the same to us as reality. Happily ever afters were not just not trapped onto the pages of fairytales as ink, but were foretelling what we would one day experience. A fat man in red squeezing through a chimney to deliver a little something for us when we awoken was plausible. Oh, and that fairy that went under our pillows to exchange money for a tooth was not just a myth. Making a wish upon...
