WINDOWS 1.0 VS WINDOWS 8

Image
Windows 1.0 came in June 1985, while, Windows 8... well... we all know when it was released, 2013, and the latest- Windows 8.1 was released on the 18th of October, 2013. Previous operating systems were limited in many ways. Processing one operation at a time, now we can multi process information at the speed of light. Now we have operating systems on almost every smart device; smartphones, tablets, even wrist watches. Microsoft windows at its early stage presented a raw version of Windows to IBM thrice but got turned down.  Finally Microsoft sold Windows to IBM as an independent company. This is a clear picture of how Technology has really advanced and made life simplier and easier for every human on planet Earth. Windows 8 can do things Windows 1.0 could never do.

'Bionic man' walks, breathes with artificial parts

Image
A team of Engineers have assembled a robot( a bionic man-  an artificial, typically electromechanical body) using artificial body organs, such as limbs, skin and other body parts. The come from 17 manufacturers around the world. This is the first time they've been assembled this different artificial body parts together. This is a brave attempt to show how far medical science has come.The robot is said to have about 60 to 70 percent of the function of a normal human. It stands six and half feet tall and can step, sit and stand with the help of a walking machine that's used by people who've lost the ability to walk due to a spinal injury; especially military men who got wounded in battle. The robot also has a functioning heart, using an electric pump which beats and circulates artificial blood, which carries oxygen just like the human blood. Also the robot has artificial, implantable kidney. Although the parts used in the robot work, many of them are a long way from

Facebook gives teenagers access to post to the public

Image
Previously, teenagers from the age of 13 -17 were unable to post status upadtes, videos and images that can be seen by the public, restricted to their friends only. Now their posts can go public, not only to their friends, but friends of their friends. This limitation restricted some adverts from reaching the walls of these teenagers. Facebook still included a notification before these teenager accounts post messages, alerting them that their post will be seen publicly. Facebook has over 1.2 billion users worldwide and are up against competitors like Twitter and Google in online marketing. This move by Facebook i believe is to expand their marketing reach. Now products and services for teenegers under that age range can be reached with adverts through Facebook. This is good news for marketers who want to reach young customers on Facebook. Parents will not welcome this change as kids being able to post and receive public content are now exposed to the vulgarity uncensored content

Now we can Store data for 1 Million years

Image
Storing information is a basic human function. From the early times, humans have been concerned about storing information. Storing information started from carvings on stones and clay, writing on paper, then tape to CDs and DVDs then now in this age we store data electronically using hard disks and micro memory disks. Hard disks have a limitation that have been neglected for some time until now. Hard disks loose information after some certain years and gets damaged when exposed to heat for a long time. Hard disks can only store data roughly ten years at room temperature, becasue their magnetic energy barrier is low so that the information is lost after a period of time. Cds, DVDs, tape, paper, clay, stones also have limited life. An alternative have to be sought if information is to be retained longer. Jeroen de Vries at the University of Twente in the Netherlands and a few pals(researchers) have developed an optical carrier that can store data for a really long period(a million years)

Nigeria’s official government website, www.nigeria.gov.ng has been hacked

Image
www.nigeria.gov.ng is the official website of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. A website that has the history of Nigeria, information about the people of Nigeria, the Nigerian peoples and various cultures, the economy, the polity and other important information about the country, Nigeria; coupled with daily news about the socio-political happening in the country, Nigeria. We don’t know when, but at the moment there is a link on the website to indecent sites at the bottom of the main page. We can’t say for sure how it got there. We don’t know for sure if it was hacked or it is just a mistake made by the site’s administrators; but, we can say this is a stain on Nigeria’s image in the world community. You can visit the website @ www.nigeria.gov.ng and see for yourself.

HP and Google roll out intriguing $279 Chromebook 11

Image
If your main activity on a computer is spend hours on the internet, then, the Chromebook was designed for you. The Chromebook is a secondary computer machine. I’m finding it hard to think of a reason to buy one, when I can get all its capabilities using a typical computer. Let’s just give it a run on its features; a quick review. It runs the same mobile processors as smartphones and tablets; it runs the Chrome OS; 11.6" 1366×768 IPS LCD (135 ppi); Webcam; the Chromebook can be charged with a micro-usb cable, the same kind used on a Blackberry, Samsung, etc. so, you don’t need more than one chargers when going on a trip. It has a 16GB SSD; 2GB of Memory; 6 hours battery life; weighs 2.3 pounds. The downside is the unavailability of mobile connectivity- 3G/4G, but it comes with Wifi connectivity. I believe this will be just the perfect machine for reporters.

Moto X is the best Android Smartphone

Image
Moto X is the best Android Smartphone. It may not be best looking smartphone, compared with others like the Samsung S3/4, but it has the same features every other smartphone has and more.   The most distinguishing feature is its battery strength. The Moto X can get you through one to two days of thorough use. The uniqueness of the Moto X are the little differences that may not be obvious to a window shopper, but an owner of the Moto X will quickly testify to its curved back that makes the smartphone fit into the owner’s hand, with a little dimple on the back to make sure the smartphone doesn’t wobble when placed on a flat surface. The notification screen shows you new emails, calls and texts without turning the whole screen on and without unlocking the phone. The most amazing thing about the Moto X: It has a 4.7-inch screen, but it feels like you're holding a phone with a much smaller one. Motorola was nearly able to eliminate the side bezels entirely, while making the to

Konga.com has moved to a bigger location and hires new staff and Chief of Operations

Image
Konga.com has moved from its previous location to a 120,000 sq-ft warehouse located  at Isolo/Oshodin local govt area, in a bid to boost the effective performance of its on-line shopping mall. We can say this is a competition of the two giant on-line shopping malls in Nigeria. A competition between Konga.com and Jumai.com.ng . Jumai.com.ng moved to a bigger location some few months back for the same reason Konga.com moved. Konga.com's new location will serve as a warehouse to their own shops and other product companies for easy access to their products. A new Chief Operations Officer, Alex Kamara has been hired for better staff, business activities management and logistics. This means their usual speed of delivery is likely to increase.

The Iron-Man suit for real life soldiers,Talos

Image
The next time you watch a science fiction movie and see an amazing gadget that you can’t believe if it’s real or it’s ever going to be real; think again; gradually, science fiction movies are becoming realities. Who ever thought the Iron Man suit will ever be built and used in real life. Well the image above is proof enough. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the US Army Research, Development and engineering command(RDECOM) and other groups from business and academia are joining forces to create a Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit, or TALOS, that promises to provide “super human strength” with greater ballistic protection. The features of the suit include integrated 360-degree cameras, sensors that can detect injuries on the suit wearer and apply wound-sealing foam, a bullet proof exoskeleton fluid that can change from liquid to solid in milliseconds; just like the bad shape-shifter guy in Terminator 2. The only weakness is it does not have the kind of
