If you’ve used Nike+ with your iPhone or iPod you know what kind of stats you get out there and so you’ll be getting such kind of statistics for you wheelchair too like Speed, Direction, etc. It has also got a inbuilt charger for iPhone.

I don’t know if the Wheelchair part was that interesting but possibly, this could be the starting of Physical objects controlled via iPhone and perhaps we are going to see iPhone apps to control cars and household appliances too which may benefit us a lot!

Google Chrome OS : Your Data is now on Clouds!

chrome_os_screenshotGoogle Had announced that it would be releasing a OS version of it’s browser Chrome in July. The Press event yesterday gave us a lot of more information as to what was going on, what were the key features and so on.


 

Key Features

Clouds

With Clouds i don’t mean actual clouds, but these are where all your data on Google Chrome OS Data will be stored. Well, nothing is on your computer so you can surely expect better speed and also the data is easily accessible from all of your devices so that you do not need to Shift it from one device to another.

Speed

Chrome was the fastest browser and one of the reasons why it was so because of it’s fastest loading Javascript Load Engine. You can expect the same thing from the Chrome OS which currently takes 7 seconds to start up and this is also going to be reduced as the development further progresses. Your Desktop Environment is also going to speed up because all of it apps are going to be web apps so compared to existing computers, it is damn fast, you get it?

All Things Web

google_chrome_os_apps

Chrome OS would mark the beginning of the new era, the web era where all your content is on the web. You don’t need to start any Softwares or such to start working on your computer. Everything is just web. All applications are web apps so you don’t need to install or update them as so.

The Ultimate User Experience

Google_chrome_os_chess

The Graphical User Interface is going to be the same as the chrome browser, the easiest to use but the capabilites just increase 10 fold. Games, Videos everything can be done on the relatively simple interface. 

Updating

Last Year Google Chrome was updated over twenty times without even letting their 40 Million Users know about it. How is that? Well, same is going to be in the Chrome OS where the updates will be on air updates. So users don’t ever need to search for updates, download them and install it manually. Everything will be automagical.

Security

With Google Chrome OS new Security as all your data will be Encrypted and will be stored on the Cloud. So significantly all your Data Loss Risks and Data theft risks are reduced. No Antivirus needed!

Second, because all apps live within the browser, there are significant benefits to security. Unlike traditional operating systems, Chrome OS doesn’t trust the applications you run. Each app is contained within a security sandbox making it harder for malware and viruses to infect your computer. Furthermore, Chrome OS barely trusts itself. Every time you restart your computer the operating system verifies the integrity of its code. If your system has been compromised, it is designed to fix itself with a reboot. While no computer can be made completely secure, we’re going to make life much harder (and less profitable) for the bad guys. If you dig security, read the Chrome OS Security Overview. Via Their Blog.

 

Open Source

This was much expected from Google who made Chrome OS an Open Source project and the source code is available here. Open Source Means you can expect more from developers world wide.

g-chrome-os-nb-trends

The Chrome OS is more concentrated on the NetBooks market because it wants to target the potential of that market which is growing speedily.

The whole Chrome OS concept is completely opposite to what we use today.

Today : Browser in Operating System

Tomorrow : Operating System in Browser (+1 from Google)

The Chrome OS is going to be absolutely free and consumers can expect it next year around November-December.

When you can’t sue, you attack! : AT&T

Picture 12

Recently AT&T files a lawsuit against Verizon and it failed. So then they are left with no other option than to battle it out their style. But surely those ads from Verizon, There is a map for that, were funny.

Here’s the answer from AT&T with Luke Wilson and he says, “Who offers the best 3G experience? Let’s compare.”  The Last part of the ad is funny. Also, they are giving 50% discounts on some Samsung Phones too.

3000 iPhones swiped off Willebroek overnight!

stolen-iphone

A hole in the Roof of Logistics warehouse made by robbers cost the company $3 Million. 3000 iPhones had been swiped away from the companies warehouse.

Logistics is a transport company and the iPhones were to be transported to Mobistar, which Apple’s Official Belgian Carrier. But unfortunately robbers stole them from Warehouse. 

Something more weird is that the whole in the roof was made just above the location where the iPhone were kept so this shows is was a well planned one which involved people from inside the company too.

But what we heard is that the serial numbers of the Stolen iPhones have been blocked. But, wait how does it matter? Belgian is a country which does not sell iPhone with a Sim-Lock so its not a big problem for the thieves to use other network carriers.

 

The Company Officials were Seriously Annoyed with the matter. Obviously, they would after all a loss of a loss of 2 Million Euros a good one for the company.

Verizon Back on AT&T : The Truth Hurts, ha?

Picture 1
There were some cool ads thrown by Verizon on AT&T insulting it off, on it’s coverage limits, and especially the “There’s a Map For that” ads which made AT&T blow it’s temper so much to file a lawsuit against Verizon.

It wanted Verizon to remove those ads as they were misleading to customers and created a wrong impression of the network in public. There wars always go on, and it’s funny to see what different ways they come up to sue each other. 

Here’s Verizon’s answer to AT&T’s lawsuit,

AT&T did not file this lawsuit because Verizon’s “There’s A Map For That” advertisements are untrue; AT&T sued because Verizon’s ads are true and the truth hurts… AT&T now is attempting to silence Verizon’s ads that include maps graphically depicting the geographic reach of AT&T’s 3G network as compared to Verizon’s own 3G network because AT&T does not like the truthful picture painted by that comparison

So they say reality? I am damn sure, the court judge would be thinking his brains out to rule out the decision in favour of any one party!
