iphone
credit: Veniamin Geskin
Apple after its launch of the new iphone 7 and iphone 7 plus has been planning about making the next iphone 8 to be a remarkable phone. There has been many rumors about the new upcoming phone but one of the specific rumor is that it might have curved display. Nowadays it has become a common phenomena for phones to have curved display, now will the iphone 8 feature an curved display. Usually what I like about Apple is that build quality as well as the user friendly interface.

Apples screen quality is really satisfying and when compared to the previous launch iphone 7 the display is good and its design some or what resembles the iphone 6 or 6s models. If Apple wants to install new curved displays on its upcoming phone it must be in such a way that its design should be pocket friendly and light weighted so that it can be easily carried around. If Apple doesn’t make the design according to the display then it might damage the display.

The new iphone 8 will feature an awesome stunning display which is curved by the way and this might be built by Samsung for Apple. Some rumors says that this display might be made up of plastic and not of glass to make the design look great and to prevent the glass from damaging.

The curved display screen will be made up of Organic Light Emitted Diodes which in short known as OLED screen this screen will help the users to create an good display quality and it is very light and thinner compared to the other screens which will use less battery and gives us a good battery life.

If the display is curved it must be so sensitive and must respond quickly when it is touched so the rumors also suggests that the phone will feature sensitive sensors which will help the phone to respond to when an user touches any side of the display.

An old rumor was that an expensive model of iphone 8 will only feature an OLED display and if this curved display rumor turns out to be true then that previous rumors will turned out to be fake.

Some people claim that Apple is making an 5.5 inch model which turns out to be an premium version with an OLED screen and other models with an traditional old LCD displays . So Far, apples intentions and decisions have not been made clear and announced publicly and many people are having high expectations on the new iphone 8.

Samsung Display Company is an unit of Samsung electronics which has been producing quality display for many Smartphone companies and has a best quality of display production. Samsung has been producing and supplying many tech components and memory chips for Apple.

One of the rumor was that Apple suppliers have asked Samsung to increase the quantity of screens and to produce thin OLED displays for Apple. If Apple is going to install new curved display for its upcoming iphone 8 then this might become am hit for Apple.

Apple Disappoints Tech Fans by Delaying the Release of Airpod


Airpod
Apple has launched the Airpod along with the iPhone 7 just a few month ago which took everyone by surprise. Apple did away with the headphone jack in the latest iPhone which didn’t go well with a number of consumers, fans and critics alike. But at the same time Apple came up with an innovative concept of Airpod which are essentially wireless headphones. A recent announcement from Apple has revealed that the Airpod wouldn’t be ready for Christmas sale and this has disappointed it fans all across the globe. The reason for delaying the release of the Airpod is attributed to the fact that Apple requires more time in resolving some of the issues which might adversely affect the user experience.

Missing Christmas launch will seriously hit ‘revenue’


During the iPhone launch event in September Apple promised to make the AirPods available in the month of October. But things didn’t go as planned and launch was delayed further with no date set for its sales. A number of reports emerged in the media which stated that Apple AirPods are way complex than the simpler Bluetooth headphones.

In the regular wireless headphones the receiving of Bluetooth signal in just one earpiece while AirPods are designed to receive sign in both. This has aggravated the problems for Apple as it I struggling to resolve the delay of receiving and syncing of the audio between the headphones. Another major issue to resolve for Apple is to ensure that AirPods keeps functioning well enough even after the battery dies in one of the headphones.

After ages Apple postpones product launch

This is first time in last six years that Apple has postponed the launch of its product in this case AirPods. The last postponement came in 2010 when iPhone 4 was delayed due to manufacturing problems. Earlier this month Apple CEO sent across an email wherein it stated that the company is finalising the details for the AirPods and it will begin shipping in next few weeks.

A chief technologist from WiFore Wireless Consulting has shed some light on the postponement of AirPods which has left millions of fans disappointed worldwide. He clarified that Apple is going to bring a breakthrough product in the market which will act as a epitome of wireless communication therefore it can’t risk going wrong in any manner. However even he opined that missing the Christmas sale season will certainly impact the popularity, reach and revenue as a whole for Apple but it is worth than coming up with a malfunctioning device.

Secondly Apple has to deal with a number of skepticism with the launch of iPhone 7 which happened to be minor upgrade upon its last version. This emerged from the trend set by Apple wherein ‘s’ lineup mean minor upgrade while ‘number’ specific release resulted in a more refined and feature rich device with bump in specification as well. On other hand one of the Apple spokesperson stated that Apple believes in launching only when it is completely ready.

Apple’s Voiceover Guides Visually Impaired to Create Software


Apple’s Voiceover Guides Visually Impaired to Create Software
VoiceOver is an approachability option that offers the iPad and iPhone less demanding to work for the visually impaired and sight weakened. These things may incorporate imperceptible data, unmistakable data, and extra data requires exploring the screen. With it, anybody with an optical weakness can possess their iPad or iPhone's screen present to them, covering links, symbols, catches, and different interface components, and utilize signals to explore and choose their choices.

Since it is incorporated into Apple's UIKit system for designers, any application utilizing default keys receive VoiceOver bolster fabricated right in. Despite the fact that Apple's VoiceOver has been a part of the OS X working framework since 2005 and iOS since 2009, at first it wasn't that viable. Apple has enhanced VoiceOver radically from that point forward.

A key a portion of making everything open is VoiceOver, a screen-perusing innovation that talks portrayals out loud to clients. For instance, it assumes a key part in Swift Playgrounds, Apple's iPad application that shows children and grown-ups how to code.

Play areas give essential programming directions for making energized characters do things like gather gems, and it depends on the Swift programming dialect intended to make it less demanding for anybody to manufacture applications for the iPhone or iPad. Alongside describing Swift Playgrounds, VoiceOver likewise gives dazzle individuals a chance to take photographs or explore a city's open transportation framework all alone.

Apple incorporated VoiceOver with its iOS versatile programming in 2009 and from that point forward has joined other free elements that individuals already needed to buy. Individuals with visual debilitation once needed to spend a large number of dollars for innovation that amplified their PC screens, talked route bearings, distinguished their cash or perceived the shade of their garments. Hudson needed to work with human perusers when he was coding in school and how they'd some of the time nods off at work.

How to handle it-VoiceOver converts the motions in iOS keeping in mind the end goal to present it less demanding for outwardly impeded people to comprehend what they're touching before they really choose it. Some suggestions are given below to utilizingVoiceOver:

-Just tap anyplace on the surface and your iPad or iPhone will talk so anyone might hear the thing that you're hitting on.

iCar Release Date Rumours


iCar
We have so long heard rumors about Apple working on developing a self driving iCar but none has been supported or disapproved by the Apple. However a recent move by Apple suggests that it is actually working on developing its own self-driving car which might be dubbed as iCar to give some competition to others. Apple has forwarded a letter to the US transport regulars urging them to come up with set of rules and guidelines for the self-driving cars.

Earlier it has been believed that Apple has finally shied away from the iCar initiative but the recent letter to regulator was penned by none other than Apple’s director of product integrity. Apple has also once said that it is excited about the potential of the automated system which can be seen in many areas that included the transportation sector. None of it confirms that Apple is developing a self-driving car on its own.

Apple confirms sending out letter to US regulators

A confirmation has made by Apple that it has sent out a letter to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or NFTSA. Apple has stated that the reason for sending message is attributed to its heavy funding and investment in the machine learning as well as th autonomous systems. Apple wishes to get list of best practices to be followed in transportation when it comes to self-driving vehicles in order to formulate or develop its self-driving technological capabilities within set boundaries. Apple has also urged regulators not to interfere with testing of the self-driving cars by unleashing a barrage of rules and terms rather focus on the usage and implementation n of the technology. This will ensure that the self driving testing and development remains for all without any unwanted challenge or restrictions.

Furthermore Apple also wants competitors and researchers to share information on the crashes and near-misses in order help each other over similar challenges in a neutral fashion. Such data will allow developers to make significant changes on the technology as per the need of the hour without going through similar testing which will eventually amounts to the loss of effort and resources.

Why suddenly move focus towards iCar? 

This year of Apple has not been as great as the last one since the iPhone 7 failed to garner enough support from the critics or fans alike. A majority of Apple revenue is still generated from the iPhone sales which has seen tremendous rise last year. During quarter four financial results Apple’s CEO Tim Cook has to face a number of questions on a variety of products which also included Apple Car. Quite smartly Cook did away with this question by neither confirming nor denying its existence. He mentioned that Apple is looking at some smart and innovative steps towards improving the customers experience on a wide range of products. On car front he even stated that there are already a number of technological evolutions are in progress which might end up revolutionizing the car segment.

In literal sense Apple was winking at other competitors that a revolutionary technology is indeed in development at Apple which possess the ability to rise above the competition.

A Red iPhone Rumour

Red iPhone

Apple’s iPhone in Red


According to media report it has been rumoured that the Apple’s iPhone would appear in `Red’ and would retain the same design as the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. Together with its usual 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch smartphones, the company would also be launching a third model which would be priced on the higher side than the iPhone 7.

According to the reports of appleinsider.com, it would also sport a 5.1-inch or 5.2-inch OLED display with invisible home button with all-glass housing and wireless charging and will rather see an improvement in hardware which is a new more powerful A11 chipset. The said new chip would be introduced together with the new Red colour choice.

The company is likely to adhere to `s year’ for its line-up for 2017. Possibly named the iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s Plus, the handset would be retaining the unchanged aluminium design, together with a faster A11 chip and the anticipated iPhone 8 model will be having an OLED display.

Merged by Foxconn-owned Sharp by 2018, Samsung and LG are said to the primary OLED suppliers of Apple. In a news report, Japanese Apple rumour blog Macotakara indicated that the successor to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus would now be in an all new colour.

Red iPhone – Next Sensation


The site also informed that Apple would be adding a red casing colour together with the prevailing ones of Black, Jet Black, Silver, Gold and Rose Gold choices. The line-up of flagship phones of Apple usually tends to play it safe with white, blacks and mellow metallic.

Though a red iPhone flagship would be making a big change, as informed by Japanese Apple blog Macotakara, the 2017’s 10th anniversary iPhone would be iPhone 7s and would be the convention for odd-numbered years of Apple. The Jet Black iPhone 7 colour choices had made great waves and had become quite popular.

Amazon Extends Cloud Reach With Hardware


snow_ball_edge
With just a couple of years Internet of Things has found a solid footing in the technology industry due to eager adoption by the consumers. Internet of Things was essentially an experimental initiative by the industry to get people interested in smart products apart from the Smartphone and computing devices. Amazon Web Services is an Amazon core cloud based wing which caters to the needs of the industry is storing and accessing data from anywhere at given point of time.

With the popularity and significant reach covered by the Internet of things devices in the recent past Amazon very well understand that in future the consumer’s computing will not be happening just in its data centers. We have more hundreds of millions of Internet of Things devices up and running around the world which collects user’s data and analyze on every given second.

Given this though Amazon has brought a suitable answer in the form a hardware named Snowball Edge which is portable and it will allow users not just store their data locally but also computes it run some tasks as per their need. A year Amazon brought Snowball which simply a storage only hardware but Edge happens to be an offshoot of the Snowball with enhanced capability.

What Snowball Edge brings to the table? 

The difference between the earlier hardware Snowball and current offering Softball Edge is very simple. Snowball was designed to help users to store data and send it over to the AWS data center for further uploading and analyzing while Edge will remain at the consumer’s establishment and it will like a local computing device as well as storage node.

Secondly Amazon has revealed a new hardware which has been made in close collaboration with Intel. This device is named AWS Greengrass powered by Intel chips and it runs on a unique software programming using Amazon’s Lambda tool.

More storage hardware will usher AWS growth & revenue

With the launch of this hardware it has been well noted that Amazon is looking forward to increase the flow of data as well as capability of the standalone device to the next level. In order to get more data and increase the flow of work it is necessary to get the data to the AWS data centers for valuable business insights which can help companies in improving their products and services. To this effect Amazon has brought a number of data migration tool which consists of reinvent—a big-rig truck for bringing data back to the AWS data center and a Sonwmobile—a highly shipping container which possess the ability to deliver 100 petabytes of data to the data centers.

It might appear absurd to use such devices and vehicles to deliver data from the source to the data center but it should be understood that moving such amount of data over any kind of network will require a lot of time (calculated in months).

Smart Map Aims to Avoid 5G Dead Zones

Smart Map

5G Network – Quicker Connection/Increased Bandwidth


Owing to new data rich maps by Ordnance Survey, the next generation smartphone can evade signal drop-outs. The detailed 3D models comprises of buildings, proposed constructions, trees, hills together with weather cycles most of which can impede with 5G signals. Researchers would be capable of testing towers in several locations and immediately check on their performances.

One analyst had mentioned that the tool would be helpful for networks in providing improved coverage. The next generation 5G networks tend to provide quicker connections together with increased bandwidth for video streaming events. However, according to Ordnance Survey, the higher frequency signals tend to have a shorter range than the prevailing 3G and 4G signals and seem to be more vulnerable to interference from raindrops as well as leaves.

The planning tool would be utilising mapping data and high resolution aerial images of Ordnance Survey to produce its 3D models while the weather data would be provided by the Met Office.Analyst at CCS Insight, Ben Wood has commented that the character of 5G means the location of cell towers is more sensitive and it would be very significantto understand fully the topography of each area.

Useful Tool for Companies


He further added that the better the tools networks help site cell towers precisely, the more likely would they get high quality coverage from the start. 5G comprises of higher frequency signals which in spite of providing the larger bandwidth to support Internet of Thing application, tends to operate over shorter ranges than 3G and 4G.

 It could be hindered by various construction materials or heavy rain and it needs more equipment together with careful positioning in order to make it a strong network. Ordnance Survey has stated that its maps have been so detailed that they also include vegetation cycles in determining how trees could affect 5G coverage at different seasons.

Some areas of Bournemouth have been modelled already utilising the experimental tool that Ordnance Survey expect to be rolled across the UK. Mr Wood has stated that it would be a useful tool for companies deploying 5G networks though there would be no alternative in spending the money to install a lot of cell sites.

Smart Map for Smart Future


Though the next-generation 5G network would be providing the consumers with quicker connectors together with growing bandwidth for video streaming, Ordnance Survey state that upward magnitude signal tend to have a shorter operation than stream 3G and 4G signals.

Andrew Loveless, commercial director of Ordnance Survey termed the tool as a smart map for a smart future. He further added that the purpose was to deploy 5G rapidly and efficiently and linking OS data to spectrum information together with meteorological data would be delivering quicker speeds together with improved coverage to connected devices while at the same help in keeping roll out cost to the minimum.

Ordnance Survey stated that the data visualisation tool would make it possible for network planners to be aware of most of the relevant points remotely. The Met Office would be contributing high resolution weather conditions resulting from weather satellite as well as radar data to evaluate the effects on signal transmission.

Google Cut People Off From Gmail for Reselling the Pixel Phone


Google Pixel Phone
Ever since Google started selling its flagship Pixel devices a number of shady resellers has emerged who are offering the device above its marked price. Most of the people don’t gives much thought to the terms & conditions or policies which govern the sale and usage of any service of product. Similarly the people who indulged in violating the Google’s policies of ‘no-resale’ are facing the burnt in the soundest fashion. Google is teaching the over-smart users with hash lesson through cutting them off from the Gmail account along with all its other associated vital digital services.

How To Move And Delete Apps On An iPhone 7 With 3D Touch


Credit:Brad Moon
With over a million products already sold by the tech-giant Apple, it is time for them to unleash the new beast. Say hello to the new iPhone 7 and the iPhone 7 Plus! We live in a time where we are heavily dependent on technology. Compare to what we used to have a few years back and we can feel the difference.

Both the Apple iPhone 7 and the 7 Plus are one of the most technologically advanced phones in the market right now. It comes with the Apple A10 processor, which makes it 30% more efficient than its predecessor. A new dual configuration camera has been a significant improvement over the last year’s 12MP shooter. What makes it even cooler that it is now officially water resistant! Apple has removed the headphone jack which some may consider as an unwise decision.

The Techie Metamorphosis: 

One of the most interesting features of the new iPhone is the 3D touch that allows the users to do a lot more with their device. First introduced in the 6S, it did not turn out to be a huge success. Well now, you can access shortcuts a lot easier depending on how much pressure you apply on the screen. With the new ios 10, 3D touch becomes useful in so many ways but one should better have some tricks up their sleeves to make the most out of their devices.

How it works: 

Using a series of electrodes, pressure is detected and is sent to the “Taptic Engine.” After processing the information, a haptic feedback relays information back to the user. Apple’s ios was always user friendly but in order to stay organized, the user had to do touch and hold the app icon to move or delete the app. With the new 3D touch in offering, here’s how you can delete or move applications in the new iPhone 7 and the 7 Plus.

Touch and hold now reveals a small pop-up displaying the supported shortcuts of the app. For example, long-pressing the twitter app icon now pops up the options search, new tweet, new message and share via twitter. So now what? How to delete or move an app? Use the similar “touch and hold” feature but do not apply any pressure on the screen. Just hold on the app with the lightest touch possible and the familiar “jiggling apps” will appear on the Home Screen. You can now move or delete apps at your will.

Is it a Boon or a bane? 

Well, was it necessary? With all the additional hardware and software, it doesn’t come cheap. We know Apple for their brilliant engineering and amazing devices over the years and they have never failed to surprise us. This was a major addition to the new iPhone this year and yes, we love it. It takes kind of getting used to it but once familiar with this piece of technology, it’s a breeze. Organizing your apps was never so convenient and the 3D touch aids to it.

Dongle Dilemma Provokes Apple Price Cut


mac
Apple has started a war against the connectivity ports a long time ago. This was first seen with the removal of headphone jack from the iPhone 7 but it has been going a grander scale along its range of devices. Apple is now gearing towards removing not just SD card port but also the full size USB port and HDMI port form its computer devices it order manufacture more sleeker and slimmer devices. All the users will have to make use of legacy connector in upcoming future as Apple will bring a new smaller USB-C port into the play. Apple has stated that a large number of users which basically comprises of the professionals rely on the legacy connectors for day-to-day activities.

Apple aims towards helping the consumers move towards latest technology and gadget which can help in improving the efficiency of the device as well as user. Apple will help users in getting access to these great legacy dongles and adapter through dropping the price until the end of this year.

Apple offers huge discounts of Dongles

The most popular adapter at the moment is the USB to USB-C adapter which comes at a price of $19 but it will be offered at a price of just $9. All the users will latest or older version of the iPhone will need to buy the lightening to USB dongle at price of $19 or they will have to use an old Lightning to USB cable with the above mentioned adapter. It does sound like a night mare for the consumers but eventually it will be helpful for the users in the end.

Competitors are closing in on Apple

In the last decade we had seen a trend has emerged in which other follows the lead of Apple. Whatever Apple does and brings to its devices is simply followed by its competitors. Apple has done away with the Ethernet ports as well as DVD DRIVE on its MacBook and this decision was criticized both by the critics and the fans. But with time people changed their habit and it didn’t matter anymore. In similar fashion we are looking at the gradual eradication of the USB 2.0 ports from the Smartphone. Now majority device across the product segments comes with USB Type-C and there is no question we will be living a dongle-less time in upcoming years.

It is worth noting that in past few years there are no new products from the Apple. Apple is reaping benefits by releasing upgraded version of its popular range of devices across the products segments. This has left a number of wondering whether Apple will be bringing any new device or not. Unser the Tim Cook tenure Apple has invested hugely in furthering the research and development but there have been no reports on what Apple is actually working upon. This has even caused anxiety among the investor which were subdued by the Cook through stating that Apple has a number of products in the pipeline which will help in turning the fortune in near future.

Apple Drops Iconic Mac Start Up Sound from New MacBook Pro

Macbook

Apple’s New MacBook Pro – No Power Button


Since 1998 Apple computers have been instantly recognized and unchanged though with the release of the new MacBook Pro recently, which has no power button and tends to turn on automatically when it is opened, possibly making the start-up sound old-fashioned. It does not seem to be the traditional USB port and Apple had done away with the iconic sound which the laptops tend to make when it starts up.

The chime which is a fading F sharp chord has been utilised on all Mac since the iMac G3. An FAQ page with details of Mac computers portrays troubleshooting instructions for the latest MacBooks, without any mention of the start-up sound.The new laptops of Apple feature a new touchscreen - `Touch Bar’ which is above the keyboard and Touch ID fingerprint recognition.

The same is said to be released somewhere in mid-November. Though the exclusion of the start-up chime will be approved by some who tend to open their laptops loudly during meetings and classrooms, it seems to mark the end of a computing tradition. Since 1984, Macs had been having a start-up sound which was envisioned to be a reassuring sign that the computer has been operating normally.

Start-up on Opening/Plugged in


The present chime tends to be the same since 1998 though is a modified version of the sound that had been utilised since the Quadra 840AV of 1993. The sound is said to be the creation of an engineer at the company who had played it on a Korg synthesizer. The original chord that Reeks mentioned had been inspired by the final chord in The Beatles - `A Day In The Life’ which had been raised in 1998, from C Major for the iMac G3. Besides the ports which did not make the cut, Apple has taken away from its new MacBook Pro family, the start-up chime, which has been consigned to history.

The new MacBook would now not be blaring out when it is opened up in public places or between meetings. As per Apple, the automatic start-up kicks in when one tends to start-up the MacBook Pro on opening it or plugging it in, on connecting it to power when the lid is open and also when it is closed, if it is connected to the machine to an external display.

Most Iconic Thing Taken Away


Pingie observing the change in the support notes of Apple informed that it brings the MacBook series in line with the rest of the Apple product family and there is no start-up noise on iPhone, iPad or the Apple Watch. With the release of the new MacBook, it appears that the noise which had arrived with the iMac G3 during the late 90s is now on its way out.

The new computer does not make any sound when it has been turned on and this probably makes some sense that it tends to turn on each time it is opened. This also means that it has taken away one of the most iconic things regarding Macs.

The start-up sound could be one of the oldest things which is eliminated from the new computer. The company has also done away with its popular MagSafe charging technology together with the other ports and has included new features such as the touchscreen in the keyboard.

Foxconn Tests Wireless Charging for iPhone 8

Foxconn

It has just few weeks since Apple has launched the iPhone 7 which has left a number of fans and critics unhappy with the end product. Still that has not made any dent in the Apple’s iPhone sales which is going off the shelves within a week of its launch at varied markets across the globe. A slew of rumors have started circulating about iPhone 8 and one of which proudly proclaims that it will feature an advanced wireless charging capability. One of the main manufacturing partners of Apple namely Foxconn is effectively working on developing wireless charging modules for the next year’s iPhone iteration.

Apple isn’t the first OEM to experiment with wireless charging

Wireless charging isn’t a bright new concept or other OEMs have not experimented with it at all. Rather it was the Samsung which first brought the wireless charging support in the flagship devices just a few years ago. But given the fact that this will be the first time that iPhone will feature the wireless charging support has helped in creating a buzz among the fans and critics. Among the range of Apple products only Apple Watch has so far made use of the wireless charging technology. It is worth noting that Apple has been hiring a number of engineers right from the wireless charging technologies in order to bring a more secured and effective wireless charging capability to its range of devices.

Foxconn on other hand tried to subdue the rumors by stating that it has already strated manufacturing the wireless charging modules for iPhone 8 but it shouldn’t be taken as a sign it will be brought right into the commercial version of the device. The possible inclusion of the wireless charging capability to the iPhone will depend upon the rate at which Foxconn can increase its yield or wireless charging itself works in the most user friendly manner.

Apple will release an OLED-based iPhone next year

Several reports have emerged in the past couple of months which has hinted towards the possible utilization of OLED based display for upcoming iPhone. These reports have stated in detail that front face of the device will be covered in glass which will allow users to tap even around the screen. The Touch ID finger print sensor will be placed right below the display screen or in simple words it will be artistically baked into the glass.

No confirmation has been made by the Apple regarding the possible use of OLED panels in iPhone 8. But the president of Sharp has accidently leaked this by speaking with the students at the Tating University where he specifically mentioned that even iPhone is moving towards OLED panels. However he didn’t say whether Apple is buying its OLED panels or not for the iPhone 8. Bringing OLED screen to the iPhone will not just bring a better and brighter display to the consumers but it also help in keeping the device sleek and slim.

The sophisticated technology of recognizing speeches has turned out to be one of the most popular innovations. From individuals to organizations, this technology may play a significant role. So, recently, Microsoft has brought good news for those, who want to make use of this latest technology. The newly developed speech recognition system of Microsoft is highly competent to recognize any human speech just as we do.

This new Microsoft software may transcribe or record any conversation in the most accurate way. In addition to it, the interesting feature of the software is that it tracks the conversations, and at the same time, it puts all words in the right framework. Thus, perfect transcriptions are possible with the help of this software.

The error rates of the software-

The research professionals of Microsoft have really made introduced the best features in the software. However, one thing to be noted in case of Microsoft’s voice recognition system is that it is not completely perfect. There are some possibilities of mishearing words. The rate of speech error in the task of transcribing any conversation is about 5.9 %. This percentage may be compared to a proficient transcriptionist’s error level. One of the major members of Microsoft’s team, Xuedong Huang has announced this unique fact about the software. This is truly a significant achievement of the company. Microsoft’s scientists have also declared that they are first to allow a computer in recognizing voice, like a human being.

An incredible invention of the researchers-

The vice president of the Research department, Harry Shum has also expressed their views that few years ago, they had not believed about the possibility of such accomplishment. The result of all efforts has been realized after carrying out a thorough research on the voice recognition for several years. In the past decades, when the researchers of Microsoft were making considerable struggles for developing an improved software system, many technology-related agencies had co-operated in their pursuit. After working on the technology for about 20 years, the success has been achieved ultimately.

In the previous years, the other technologies, like Siri (Apple) and cognitive computing tool (IBM) have been considered as the most resourceful ones. And now, the speech recognition program proves its effectiveness and potentials. In fact, Microsoft may also utilize this tool to improve the abilities of Xbox system of gaming.

Various techniques applied to make the system-

The group of researchers has tried out different approaches in order to have progress. One of the major aspects is that they have used neural system, in which the various details have been applied. Different words have been exposed as the vectors consistently. They have been positioned together for instructing the PC to know the patterns, seen in true human voice. In fact, Computational Network Toolkit is the major system, which has been used for reaching the goals. After using it, the experts have also attempted to improve the function in practical settings, such as, noisy background.

In this ways, Microsoft’s researchers have created the latest software, and they expect that in future the system may also give individual names and identities to the speakers.

iPhone 7 Storage is Slower but It Really Does Not Matter

iPhone 7

Situations are developing and we are in a time, where timing is beginning to matter to Apple iPhone customers. In the moderately recent times, this did not. Apple used to push out their iPhones with slower chipsets and it could run applications and beguilements consummately.

Today, the A10 Fusion chipset from Apple, can without quite a bit of an extend run drifts around its Android accomplices. iPhone 7 plus has the fastest ever processor speed we can crave for but somehow with respect to benchmark, this inclusion is abundance.

Writing speed does not require much speed-

The iPhone 7 to an iPhone 6s customer feels brisk, yet it is next to no of difference. Essentially, the new chipset could render a video speedier on iMovie, however in ordinary use, like photography, opening applications, playing amusements, there is little that the new chipset does whatever other ways. There's no convincing reason to obsess about the slower 32GB shape as it’s basically the composing speeds that are slower.

According to some preliminary tests using Basemark OS II on a 32GB and 128GB iPhone 7, simply the phone's make speed is impacted by as far as possible differentiation, achieving slower speed on the 32GB phone. This is on account of some degree to SSDs' uncommonly puzzled form procedure that frequently forces low-constrain drives more than the greater one. Examining data from the drive, however, is essential and generally plays out the same transversely over different cutoff points.

Appreciatively, it's the read speed that is, for the most part, fundamental. It chooses how snappy the phone boots up, or how quickly an application is pushed. This is the reason the 32GB iPhone 7 will boot practically as fast as the 256GB one. Mainly, a vast segment of your consistent practices on the phone includes watching films and playing entertainments pivot around examining information off of the phone's SSD.

Your telephone writes information to its SSD, similar to when you take a photograph or record a video, it composes that information straight to your nearby stockpiling. Be that as it may, these undertakings require a great deal less transmission capacity than the SSD is really fit for performing. The read speeds still remain set up. This implies gaming and playing recordings won't see a refinement.

The maker points out that the slower right speeds don't for the most part, have any kind of effect, and this comes down to the same pointless abundance speculation. This is because most piece assignments needn't trouble with so much information exchange limit. SSDs can compose information in an overabundance of 100MB/s. Recording a 4K video, the most requesting compose work you can do on a phone, just requires a compose data transfer capacity speed of 30MB/s, which comes no place close to your telephone's compose speed limits. So a quicker compose speed would have zero effect in this situation. What most of this suggests is that it won't have any sort of impact.

Basically, if 32GB stockpiling is satisfactory for your necessities, then let everything out! In case you will dump tremendous video archives on your iPhone, you will be needed to choose the 128GB which will give you a faster make speeds at any rate.

MasterCard has been investing in biometric technology solutions being aware of opportunity of offering more secure payment choices to clients, addressing a pain point for consumer.

New Biomimetic Technology 

According to a survey of MasterCard around 53% of the shoppers tend to forget passwords almost once a week, which is a loss of 10 minutes when they haveto reset their accounts. This ends up in more than a third of them abandoning an online or a mobile purchase.

The representatives from MasterCard had demonstrated on the show floor, a variety of new biomimetic technologies of the company that had been tested together with partners. The Nvmi Band seemed to most interesting.

The Canadian start-up had developed an exclusive technology which influences the wearer’s exceptional cardiac signature also known as your heart rate as a biometric identifier. Reany stated that the next wave would be wearable which will be going from low friction to no friction.

 That would actually be a sea change. Karl Martin, founder and CTO founder of Nymi mentioned in a press release that by working with partners such as TD and MasterCard, they have been effectively demonstrating that continuous authentication could be a more secured and convenient way in making retail payments.

Payment – Fingerprint/Face Recognition 

In order to access the new function, user would have to download the Identity Check Mobile app wherein they can authorise payment with a fingerprint scan or face recognition. While utilising a retailer’s online site or an app, MasterCard consumers would be receiving on their handset, a pop-up screen which would prompt them to authorise the payment via a password, scan or a photograph.

 To make sure that the user is really seeing the camera of the phone and not holding up a photo of someone, they would have to perform a blink gesture. The firm has rolled out their services in around 12 countries all across Europe, after successful trials in the Netherlands, US and Canada. It had been mentioned by the company that 92% of its test subjects desired the new system to passwords.

US-based MasterCard expects more countries would be following suit in the next year. Usually people need to enter passwords eight times each day for 10 various online accounts or application which they tend to use regularly. Over one in five tend to use the same password for everything and 58% seems to depend on a few variations.
