    Soon enough our future computers/laptops will be made out of paper. Now imagine how hard it will be to maintain its shape? Or how easy it would be to replace the parts?  Kinda looking forward to seeing this in the future

    As you know, many laptops are made of wood, bamboo, carbon fiber and recently made of glass. Now recycled paper might be making its way to a computer. Paper PP Alloy is a paper-based material that is designed to be strong and sturdy. Also it is known to be far easier to recycle. For now many think this is a great start. PEGA assures us that you will be seeing this new material in the near future!

    This is a concept car for the future. It was created by the company "Infiniti" and it is a fully electric car.The inside and the outside appear to be very stylish for an electric car. The engineering in cars are becoming very outstanding and the technology in them are improving. This newly designed car relates to our course because you need to program various things in the car for it to work. You also need to program the GPS attached to the car so they can give you proper directions. This car is also a software and hardware because the actual car is the hardware, and the GPS part of the car is the software. Furthermore, this car is an environmental impact because it doesn't use gas which is very expensive today. That is how this car relates to the course.

    Are you tired of taking out your earphones and they are a tangled mess? Well now they have a "winder" that allows you to roll up earphones, usb wires, etc. Now you will not have to worry about a mess of wires under your computer, or a bunch of wires in your pocket(earphones). You can also fit cellphone earphones with the microphones on them. You can get a medium or large one for $9-10. This relates to the course because earphones plug into hardware's and it makes it more easier for everybody.

    Don't you just hate it when your cord in your pocket gets all tangled up and it takes FOREVER to untie all the knots and stuff. well now you don't need to worry because inventor David Alden designed the Recoil Winder. Just a simple device, pull the middle cord, and it rolls up. Basically a spring mechanism inspired BY TAPE MEASURES! The recoil winder comes in three sizes. Small size for iPod earbuds, medium for the charger cord for an iPhone, and large is for a USB cord. Recoil Winder is funded by Kickstarter, for 8$ you can get the small recoil winder, 9$ for medium and 10$ for large. 30$ for all three along with the rack. Shipping will be in April.

    Recently the new iPhone 5 came out in stores and thousands of people are lining to get one all over the world. According to this article thousands of Apple's iconic smartphone endured long overnight lines outside Apple retail stores around the world to be among the first Friday to buy the new iPhone 5. My opinion on the iPhone 5 is that you can do anything, but it is not worth that type of money right now because the iPhone 4s just recently came out and the iPhone 5 is basically like the same as the iPhone 4s but different design. Instead of buying the iPhone 5 you can wait a couple of years to buy the upcoming iPhone because Apple comes up with a new phone each year.

    Britain has completed designing and building their Type 45 HMS Diamond  air defense destroyer. This battleship costed an unbelievable one billion pounds and for a good reason. It's equipped to be practically missile-proof which makes it an excellent meat shield (or in this case, a metal shield) for other warships as well as a reliable escort ship. It's also eqipped with a large array of weaponry including anti-air missiles and turrets, missile interceptors, torpedoes, cannons, machine guns, and highly-advanced radar. Before we revel in the supposed awesomeness of a huge warship, we have to ask, "why does Britain need a warship this heavily armed?" With the growing conflict in the Middle-East, war seems not far off so it's important countries are prepared to stop any insurgencies before they can pass

iPhone 6 Said to Adopt 'Bezel-Free' Display - Mac Rumors - 0 views

  • No significant details about Apple's plans for the iPhone 6 are shared in the report, with the majority of it focused on the Galaxy S5 and only a few sentences noting that Apple is working on a "similar" prototype with bezel-free display and fingerprint sensor. Samsung will reportedly be using a more standard fingerprint sensor than the display-wide fingerprint scanner or iris scanner that had previously been rumored for the device.“Scanning fingerprints on the entire screen, which was much talked about recently, will be available in the latter half of this year as there are still technological hurdles to overcome,” [the source] added, hinting that the production yield for the full-screen fingerprint scanner is still far from satisfactory. The source said that Samsung’s top rival Apple is also testing a similar prototype sporting a bezel-less screen that features a fingerprint scanner.Last November, Bloomberg reported that the iPhone 6 was planned to feature a larger display with "glass that curves downward at the edges", perhaps alluding to a bezel-less design in which the edge of the device is formed by the display glass itself rather than a separate bezel. A report last month from The Wall Street Journal claimed that the iPhone 6 "won't include a curved display", but it is possible that both reports could be correct if the design were to include a flat display panel fused to glass (or sapphire) cover that curved at the edges.

    This article is about Apple increasing the size of the iPhone screen and making the screen bezel-free. Both Samsung and Apple are working on a similar prototype but Samsung is using a more standard fingerprint scanner. As the Source said in this article, to have the possibility to scan your finger on the whole screen still has many technological barriers to over come.

    Google has been keeping quiet about their latest tech, but a leak has hinted toward a google smart watch with certain features that will compel you to purchase the new wave of wearable tech. The google watch will allow you to get ambient notifications between your phone and watch through Blue tooth LE. This connectivity will allow you to awnser calls, and see who is texting you. The watch will take a "Pebble" like design, but it will have a less masculine plastic wristband instead. The watch though, will either be released with less features or fully released at a later date due to time constraints. In my opinion, wearable tech is interesting but I believe its still in a beta-phase due to the fact of limited battery life and actual applicable features in real life.

    DayZ is a revolutionary game which started as an idea from lead designer Dean Hall. Dean Hall was inspired to make DayZ after a near death experience. DayZ started off as a mod for Arma 2 which was out for three years sold 1 million copies after the DayZ mod was released they sold 1 million copies in a few months. After Bohemia (the company that makes ARMA games) gave Dean Hall a standalone DayZ project which has passed 1.5 million copies sold and is still in pre-alpha.

    Gigabyte has recently released yet another amazing graphics card. This time it is the ever so popular GTX 780 Ti. The 780 Ti is currently the highest end video card, featuring the absolute best performance, and a budged of which is going to require another wallet. However, this non-reference card (not stock design) features the best a 780 Ti can offer. With it's new super popular windforce cooler, custom PCB (Motherboard) and highest stock clock (speed) of any 780 Ti, this Gigabyte windforce card will surely many the eyes of any enthusiast shine. Capable of an insane stable overclock of 1203GHz this card smashes its competition. It is truly the best of the best, and with a price tag of $810, if your wallet can afford it, you will surely not come across anything better.

    This article focuses on degrees and careers involving computers and computer science, including the software and hardware parts. It explains examples of career paths that show how one can get involved in a career about computers. It gives people information about careers that include, designing and implementing software, and finding new ways to use computers. It also contains external links about different things related to the article such as, reasons to major in computing and what computing professional do. I believe that computer science is important in our world today because business rely on computers and the Internet to sell products and services, and companies need people to build the websites, and upkeep them. Therefore, the many jobs the involve computers and extremely important to a company. (This one is for the Careers subject of last week. Sorry for late post, I've had some problems posting.)

    The GTX 750 ti released less than a week before I wrote this is an outstanding GPU. It's small, it's cheap, it requires very little power, and runs games in 1080p pretty seamlessly. When Nvidia was designing there Maxwell products they were taking into account the performance per watt. By focusing mainly on that they are going to have a strong fight against AMD who controls the cheaper GPU's. The 750 ti uses 60 watts and under a full load using up to 68 watts. The GTX 750 ti is overall a great GPU and everyone should consider grabbing one of them!

E-waste a big issue for Canadian landfills - Bullet News Niagara | Niagara Falls, Wella... - 0 views

Environment canada e-waste

    As technology constantly evolves, we replace our old electronics with brand new ones. on average, Canadian households have 24 electronic devices. When our old electronics go past their useful life, they become e-waste. In Canada, e-waste is a big issue. Environent Canada estimates that 140,000 tonnes and counting of e-waste is dumped in landfills every year. These electronics include harmful materials such as arsenic, mercury, and lead. Many of the electronics we buy were developed with planned obsolescence, which is planning to design a product with a life span. This is good for manufacturers, because it encourages consumers to buy their new products sooner, as these companies use cheaper components. Instead of old electronics dumped in the landfill, they can be recycled and used for new products. When planning to buy a new product, it is best to read reviews of the product and check if it lasts for a long time, or uses recyclable materials. Also, the cheapest model might not always be the best, and quality may come at increasing costs. in my opinion, if electronic companies plan for sooner obsolescence for their products, they should try to use more recyclable materials, and try to use less of materials that are harmful to the environment.

PS4 Sales Tops Xbox One in February, But Not By Much | News & Opinion | PCMag.com - 0 views

    This article is about how the PS4 topped the Xbox One in sales again for the month of February. However by not that much, as the Xbox One has increased its sales from January by around 61%. This is all thanks to Microsofts new Titanfall bundle. This bundle included the console, along with a copy of titanfall for free and a month of xbox live. I actually bought this console last week because of the bundle and I love it. The gaming system is really good, the controller is designed really well, and titanfall is such an amazing game. I think in the next few months the gap between sales of PS4s and Xbox One's will get narrower and narrower.

    Just when you thought that the Apple-Samsung dispute was long gone, the two rivaling tech companies will once again appear in court next week in Silicon Valley. As usual, they are accusing each other of ripping off designs and features. Apple is accusing Samsung of infringing on 5 patents including Samsung's popular Galaxy smartphones and tablets. Samsung on the other hand is accusing Apple of stealing ideas to use on Apple's iDevices. According to Apple attorneys, Apple "revolutionized the market in personal computing devices, while Samsung "systematically copied Apple's innovative technology and products. Samsung in defense says that it has been a "pioneer in the mobile business sector since the inception of the mobile device industry, and that Apple copied many of Samsung's innovations on Apple's iDevices. Some things Apple claims that Samsung copied are tap to search technology, and "slide to unlock" the latter in my opinion, is not true. However, each smartphone has many patents, but Apple is only challenging 5 of them. personally I think that Apple and Samsung devices are very different. Sure some features may be similar or identical, but that's just to have competition. Although both of them are innovators, I think that Samsung/Google is innovating more nowadays than Apple.

    Yelp's ability to provide detailed information and reviews of businesses is very impressive, and the free app gives you exactly what you need when you're on the go. You can quickly find out if a business is currently open or closed, get directions to the site, see photos of what's inside, and read reviews and tips about the business. And the design of Yelp's mobile app makes doing so surprisingly simple. Yelp is an Editors' Choice iPhone app because it makes life on-the-go better and more enjoyable. And the information it delivers is extremely helpful for anyone in an unfamiliar city.

    An android smartphone called the Alcatel One Touch Idol X has been released in Canada on February 11th. It has average specs compared to the Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5s while costing a lot less. Without a contract the Idol costs 250 dollars while with a Bell 2 year plan it has a price tag of 0 dollars. The operating system of the Idol X is a modified version of jellybean 4.2.2 giving the phone noticeable difference but still keeping the android feel. Also the Alcatel smartphone has a beautiful design. It looks a cross between an iPhone and the Samsung galaxy S4. Finally, on paper this phone is near perfect but the next couple months will put it to the test in real life situations.

    With Apple revealing a new iPhone next Tuesday, everyone has been wondering about looks. Ben Miller, a technical design genius created a 'prototype' of what it looks like. As all expectations, he definitely got that it would be thinner than the rest of the iPhones. His design included a home button in the shape of an oval instead of a circle. It will react to light touch. Pictures of it in the article!

    Disney announced a new toy line that makes the iPad an interactive play mat. The new toy is called Disney Appmates, it interacts with a free app that brings it to life. Pixar's Cars are the first toys able to interact with this app. Each car includes a capacitive sensor. When it is placed on the iPad the screen adjusts to the position of the car, so it can interact with the character. With this app you'll be able to explore, compete in races and complete missions. What's great about the new toys: the toys aren't designed to scratch the screen and the toys are lightweight. With this app it has been proven that on April 2010 the iPad is now popular with kids as it is with adults.
