Advance in Chinese phones

Chinese firm will use 'inferior' OLED in bid to 'attract attention'

Huawei to shame Samsung with launch of 'world's first' foldable phone in early 2019

CHINESE PHONE MAKER Huawei is 

reportedly planning to launch the first 

foldable phone early next year ahead of 

Android rival Samsung. 

While Samsung, which this week 

showed 

off its upcoming "unbreakable" flexible 

OLED display panel, has long held the 

lead in display innovation, Nikkei reports 

that Huawei plans to use bendy OLED 

panels from the Chinese supplier Beijing 

Oriental Electronics (BOE) for a limited 

run of smartphones that could arrive in 

very early 2019."

BOE, which will reportedly manufacture 

displays for Apple's OLED 

iPhones, might 

not be a recognisable name to many, but 

The firm already demonstrated its own 

Samsung-rivalling flexible OLED panels 

(below). 

And even though BOE's tech is said to be 

inferior to Samsung's OLED, Huawei - 

now the world's third largest phone 

maker - apparently ain't fussed, and 

simply wants to be first to market to 

attract "attention and media coverage". 

"Huawei's planned volume could be 

limited to some 20,000 to 30,000 units, 

or even less, for a small group of first-

wave adopters," one person familiar with 

Huawei's said to Nikkei. "The effort is 

mainly to demonstrate its technology 

capability and to attract the industry's 

attention and media coverage."

Huawei's ambitious plan might not 

come 

off, though, as the report notes that "the 

launch date will depend on technology 

development and the durability of such 

panels, which still needs improvement."

Beyond Huawei's ambitions to beat 

Samsung to market, there are no 

additional details about the foldable 

phone. 

We know quite a bit about Samsung's 

foldable device, though. The so-called 

Galaxy X, which new reports claim could 

arrive as the Galaxy F (for, er, foldy?) will 

likely feature a 7.3in OLED screen when 

open, and 4.5in when folded in. 

The "super high-end" phone will 

also feature a curved battery under the 

hood and is rumoured to cost about 

$1900 upon release. 

 (£1,440).

Samsung, which has been showing off 

foldable smartphone prototypes behind 

closed doors for the past five years, is 

reportedly  "rushing to develop"the 

Galaxy X device 

so that it's ready for

unveiling at next year's Mobile World 

Congress, which will take place a month 

after the Galaxy S10's rumoured CES 

launch. 

The 10 Upcoming Technologies That May Change The World

1. Google Glass

Augmented reality  has already gotten into our life in the forms of simulated experiment and education app, but Google is taking it several steps higher with Google Glass. Theoretically, with Google Glass, you are able to view Socia media  feeds, text, Google Maps, as well as navigate with GPS and take photos. You will also get the latest updates while you are on the ground.

(Image source :You Tube) 

It’s truly what we called vision, and it’s absolutely possible given the fact that the Google’s co-founder, Sergey Brin has demo'ed the glass with skydivers and creative. Currently the device is only available to some developers with the price tag of $1500, but expect other tech companies trying it out and building an affordable consumer version.

2. Form 1

Just as the term suggests, 3D printing is the technology that could forge your digital design into a solid real life product. It’s nothing new for the advanced mechanical industry, but a personal 3D printer is definitely a revolutionary idea.

Everybody can create their own physical product based on their custom design, and no approval needed from any giant manufacturer! Even the James Bond’s Aston Martin which was crashed in the movie was a 3D printed product! 

(Image source : Kick starter) 

Form 1 is one such personal 3D printer which can be yours at just $2799. It may sound like a high price but to have the luxury of getting producing your own prototypes, that’s a reaonable price.

Imagine a future where every individual professional has the capability to mass produce their own creative physical products without limitation. This is the future where personal productivity and creativity are maximized.

3. Oculus Rift

Virtual Reality gaming is here in the form of Oculus Rift. This history defining 3D headset lets you mentally feel that you are actually inside a video game. In the Rift’s virtual world, you could turn your head around with ultra-low latency to view the world in high resolution display.

There are premium products in the market that can do the same, but Rift wants you to enjoy the experience at only $300, and the package even comes as a development kit. This is the beginning of the revolution for next-generation gaming.

The timing is perfect as the world is currently bombarded with the virtual reality topic that could also be attributed to Sword Art Online, the anime series featuring the characters playing games in an entirely virtual world. While we’re getting there, it could take a few more years to reach that level of realism. Oculus Rift is our first step.

4. Leap Motion

Multi-touch desktop is a (miserably) failed product due to the fact that hands could get very tired with prolonged use, but Leap Motion wants to challenge this dark area again with a more advanced idea. It lets you control the desktop with fingers, but without touching the screen.

 

(Image source :Leap Motion) 

It’s not your typical motion sensor, as Leap Motion allows you to scroll the web page, zoom in the map and photos, sign documents and even play a first person shooter game with only hand and finger movements. The smooth reaction is the most crucial key point here. More importantly, you can own this future with just $70, a price of a premium PS3 game title!

If this device could completely work with Oculus Rift to simulate a real-time gaming experience, gaming is going to get a major make-over.

5. Eye Tribe

Eye tracking has been actively discussed by technology enthusiasts throughout these years, but it’s really challenging to implement. But Eye Tribe actually did this. They successfully created the technology to allow you to control your tablet, play flight simulator, and even slice fruits in Fruit Ninja only with your eye movements.

(Image source :Eye Tribe) 

It’s basically taking the common eye-tracking technology and combining it with a front-facing camera plus some serious computer-vision algorithm, and voila, fruit slicing done with the eyes! A live demo was done in LeWeb this year and we may actually be able to see it in in action in mobile devices in 2013.

Currently the company is still seeking partnership to bring this sci-fi tech into the consumer market but you and I know that this product is simply too awesome to fail.

6. SmartThings

The current problem that most devices have is that they function as a standalone being, and it require effort for tech competitors to actually partner with each other and build products that can truly connect with each other. SmartThings is here to make your every device, digital or non-digital, connect together and benefit you.

(Image source : Kick starter )

With SmartThings you can get your smoke alarms, humidity, pressure and vibration sensors to detect changes in your house and alert you through your smartphone! Imagine the possibilities with this.

You could track who’s been inside your house, turn on the lights while you’re entering a room, shut windows and doors when you leave the house, all with the help of something that only costs $500! Feel like a tech lord in your castle with this marvel.

7. Firefox OS

iOS and Android are great, but they each have their own rules and policies that certainly inhibit the creative efforts of developers. Mozilla has since decided to build a new mobile operating system from scratch, one that will focus on true openness, freedom and user choice. It’s Firefox OS. 

Firefox OS is built on Gonk, Gecko and Gaia software layers – for the rest of us, it means it is built on open source, and it carries web technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3

(Image source :Mozilla) 

Developers can create and debut web apps without the blockade of requirements set by app stores, and users could even customize the OS based on their needs. Currently the OS has made its debut  and the impression so far, is great.

You can use the OS to do essential tasks you do on iOS or Android: calling friends, browsing web, taking photos, playing games, they are all possible on Firefox OS, set to rock the smartphone market.

8. Project Fiona

Meet the first generation of the gaming tablet. Razer’s Project Fiona is a serious gaming tablet built for hardcore gaming. Once it’s out, it will be the frontier for the future tablets, as tech companies might want to build their own tablets, dedicated towards gaming, but for now Fiona is the only possible one that will debut in 2013.

This beast features next generation Intel® Core i7 processor geared to render all your favorite PC games, all at the palm of your hands. Crowned as the best gaming accessories manufacturer, Razer clearly knows how to build user experience straight into the tablet, and that means 3-axis gyro, magnetometer, accelerometer and full screen user interface supporting multi touch. My body and soul are ready.

9. Parallella

Parallella is going to change the way that computers are made, and Adapteva offers you chance to join in on this revolution. Simply put, it’s a supercomputer for everyone. Basically, an energy efficient computer built for processing complex software simultaneously and effectively. Real-time object tracking, holographic heads up display, speech  recognition will become even stronger and smarter with Parallella.

(Image source :You Tube) 

The project has been successfully funded so far, with an estimated delivery date of February 2013. For a mini supercomputer, the price seems really promising since it’s magically $99! It’s not recommended for the non-programmer and non-Linux user, but the kit is loaded with development software to create your personal projects.

I never thought the future of computing could be kick-started with just $99, which is made possible using crowd funding platforms. 

10. Google Driverless Car

I could still remember the day I watch the iRobot as a teen, and being skeptical about my brother’s statement that one day, the driverless car will become reality. And it’s now a reality, made possible by… a search engine company, Google. 

While the data source is still a secret recipe, the Google driverless car  is powered by artificial intelligence that utilizes the input from the video cameras inside the car, a sensor on the vehicle’s top, and some radar and position sensors attached to different positions of the car. Sounds like a lot of effort to mimic the human intelligence in a car, but so far the system has successfully driven 1609 kilometres without human commands!

“You can count on one hand the number of years it will take before ordinary people can experience this.” Google co-founder, Sergey Brin said. However, innovation is an achievement, consumerization is the headache, as Google currently face the challenge to forge the system into an affordable gem that every worker with an average salary could benefit from.

Security Tips on How to Safely Browse Deep Web.

How to safely browse
deep web? : Security Tips
You must have heard of dark web or deep web and as you
know its a scary place and its full of skilled cyber
criminals. So it becomes necessary to secure yourself
while visiting this wild part of internet. Today I am going
to tell you about some precautions that you should must
use while surfing dark web.
Secure Your Browser
Securing your browser must be your top priority as hackers
can exploit it to gain access to your machine. So lets talk
about some ways by which you can make your browser
more hardened.
1. If a website doesn’t use https , don’t use it.
2. Disable JavaScript using No Script plugin
3. Disable all the plug ins as they can be used to track/
exploit your system
4. Don’t use search Engines like Google which track you.
Instead, go for DuckDuckGo which doesn’t keep the
records or inject tracking cookies into your browser
5. If you download something from the dark web its ok
but consider opening it in a sandbox or a virtual
machine.
6. Don’t use torrent because torrent uses a peer to peer
connection instead of using TOR network.
7. Don’t maximize TOR browser’s windows as it can be
used to determine screen size of your device.
Secure your browser even more
Enter about:config in your browser tab and press enter.
Then make the following changes:
javascript.enabled false
network.http.sendRefererHeader 0
network.http.sendSecureXSiteReferrer false
extensions.torbutton.saved.sendSecureXSiteReferrer
false
network.cookie.cookieBehavior 2
browser.cache.memory.enable false
Secure Your Operating System
If your operating systems is easy to hack then it could be a
problem…a really really bad problem.
1. Don’t use windows because windows is really very
easy to exploit, prefer Linux .
2. Its good to use TOR in a virtual machine so you can
minimize the damage in case you get infected by
some malware.
3. Use a firewall .
4. Keep your system up to date.
Secure Your Identity
And the most important thing is to hide your identity.
1. If you have to sign up for something, use a
disposable email service such as throwawaymail
2. Choose usernames and passwords carefully. They
should not have any kind of link to your real identity.
3. Send messages in chat rooms only when its
necessary and do not reveal any kind of information.
4. You will eventually find scam sites and phishing sites,
so use your mind and stay away from them.
5. Don’t do something which might grab attentions of
legal authorities like watching child porn. Do not
watch child porn at all, even for the sake of curiosty.
Stay away from it.
6. If you have to upload an image somewhere, wipe its
exif data first. And don’t upload any photos which
reveal anything about your personal life. Like the color
of your cat.
Still not secure? Here you go!
1. Get a new laptop
2. Get a new USB and install Tails in it. Tails is an Linux
distro dedicated to security and privacy.
3. Now install Tor and set TOR browser’s security setting
to high.
4. Follow all the security measures we have discussed
above.
5. That's  all.
That’s all for now. I hope you enjoyed this article.
