Vicarious, a Artificial Intelligence (AI) based company has created a software through which cracking captcha will be much easier. As of now, the accuracy is 90% .

 Evenly spaced letters were easier to pick up, but the main problem comes when letter are crunched together. To solve those types, more advance software is needed. Dileep George and D. Scott Phoenix co-founders of Vcariious , say the AI software can solveGoogle's reCAPTCHA, the most widely used test of a computer’s ability to act like a human being.
 “Understanding how the brain creates intelligence is the ultimate scientific challenge. Vicarious has a long term strategy for developing human level artificial intelligence, and it starts with building a brain-like vision system,” Vicarious co-founder Dileep George said in a release.
Vcarious  doesn't have any plan to released their software, Companies main focus is to develop their AI software for  image, video analysis and robotics.

Below  is the video released by vcarious, showing the proof-

Wristify is a Bracelet that's give you the liberty to adjust your body temparature.


Wristify is developed by MIT students Sam Shames, Mike Gibson, David Cohen-Tanugi, and Matt Smith, who took  the first prize in MIT's Making and Designing Materials Engineering Competition (MADMEC) and they were awarded  $10,000, which was sponsored by MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Saint Gobain, BP, and the Dow Chemical Company.




Their concept was simple - Instead of heating or cooling an entire house or  building, cool a person directly, as cooled/ heated cloth attached to our skin cools or heats our body.
While testing they found that by applying a change of 0.1 C per second to a part of the skin can make the person feel warmer or cooler by a few degrees.
Though it is not yet commercially available right now, the work is in progress.
 Their Prototype is much like a wrist watch, and capable of running for up to eight hours on a lithium polymer battery.

Future Prospect-
Yes, the implication are tremendous, not only it will save us Money and time but it will also, significantly reduce Energy consumption.
As, we know that A.Cs used CFCs which are harmful to the environment and contribute to the Global Warming, surely using this Bracelet, will help us in preventing such bad effects.

Apple ipad Air and Apple ipad mini

Left- iPad mini with Retina display and Right- iPad Air

At an event in california, Apple has finally unveiled the much awaited, new iPad  Air and iPad mini with Retina display , With announcement of  Macbook Pro laptops, it also announced that the  latest operating system OSX Mavericks will be available as a free download.
The 9.7 inch iPad Air with Retina display resembles iPad mini a lot. It is 7.5mm thick and weighs 10 pound. Apple claimed it is the thinnest full-sized tablet in the world.
Both Tablets uses the same 64-bit A7 chip and the M7 motion co-processor that was introduced recently with the iPhone 5S. It can open files and render graphics twice as fast as the iPad 4, while still promising the same 10-hour battery life.

Though both ipads are almost same only noticiable feature is their display and resolution.  Both tablets use a 2048 by 1536 retina display, Because of the smaller size of ipad mini 
It contains more pixels per inch which is 326 w.r.t to 264 of iPad Air.
There is a price difference of  $100 between the two Tablets.
 The Company also showcased two covers for the iPad Air and Retina iPad mini priced at $69 and $79, respectively.
Both Tablets feature two antennas to support Multiple-In-Multiple-Out (MIMO) technology, bringing nearly twice the Wi-Fi performance with data rate possible of going up to 300Mbps. Cellular models too will have better LTE coverage as these will support more LTE networks worldwide.
Surely it will be tough, to choose among the two Tablets.

	IPad Air	IPad mini w/retina display
Price	$499-$929	$399-$829
Operating System	iOS 7	iOS 7
Physical Dimensions	9.4 by 6.6 by 0.29 inches	7.87 by 5.3 by 0.29 inches

There are many Way of Killing boredom, out of the several ways one way is to chat with Friends and Relatives. But when all they are busy then chat is of no use.
But thanks to Artificial Intelligence to make Chat a good option then also.
In recent times there are many sites that are offering automatic chat, that is your reply will be given by a robot, not a human! sound's interesting? keep reading.
First Cleverbot came with the concept soon others followed it,

(Now cleverbot app is also available )

among them Elbot the Robot,

Santa bot are worth mentioning,                                                                                                         

                                                                                                                    

other like Egon, jabberwacky, intelligence robot are also there, but they are some what mediocre.

Adidas introduced its  Smart Watch  at  GigaOM’s Mobilize 2013conference in San Francisco. Device will be priced at $399, and  going to be available from 1st Nov.  Featuring a GPS Tracking and Heart rate monitoring system.  Though it lacks certain features such as communicate with or forward notifications to your smartphone, nor can users stream music from their mobile device. It include flash storage and will have the facility of receiving audio coaching to any Bluetooth headset connected with the  Watch. said Paul Gaudio, vice president of adidas.                                                                                                                                                  

He said: “We didn’t incorporate anything we didn’t think a runner wouldn’t need or appreciate… we left certain things out on purpose,” he also said “We’re not trying to make a smartwatch, but the smartest running watch.” Thus clarifying why it lacks certain features.

While preparing  my previous post i saw that the pictures being uploaded to blogger are getting distorted, reasons were unknown by then, after researching for few minute i got the reasons clear. Below there are two picture (actually same) taken from  previous post that i'm using as example. First picture shows, the condition of the picture when first uploaded, after uploading 2nd time.
Before:

After:

The reason behind this distortion is google's auto enhancement to our photos.
To rectify that, Go to Google+ settings, Scroll all the way to "Photos" Section.

Uncheck  the options  "Auto Enhance"

That's it, and your done. Many of you might be saying that, when there are plenty of other image uploading sites available then why i'm sticking to Google's image uploading facility.
Well for me its speed and reliability.

You might have wondered that smart and intelligent devices have invaded in almost every field of life, now what is left? this was my question too. But don't worry i won't take much time, There is a new device that is taking cutlery to new level.




With the introduction of HAPIfork, by HAPIlabs.
" The HAPIfork is an electronic fork that helps you monitor and track your eating habits. It also alerts you with the help of indicator lights when you are eating too fast."

The information is stored in the HAPIfork's inbuild memory, which can be accessed via usb/ bluetooth.  It has  ST STM32L1 Cortex M3 microcontroller, Lithium Polymere + 3.7 V battery, and a capacitive  sensor. vibrator and led lights for indication. It is the capacitive sensor that senses the food on the forks.
It is available for purchase at $79.00

So, this was HAPIfork, but we are not going to end here, there is another player who is waiting to be introduced, simply named Intelligent Spoon, though commercially it is not available, it will be  further improved. Invented in 2005 by MIT researchers Connie Cheng and Leonardo Bonanni.

 This spoon is no way a ordinary spoon, The spoon is equipped with sensors that measure temperature, acidity, salinity, and viscosity, and is connected to a computer via a cable.
Not only it has the capability of storing the information but it could analyze it, and might suggest user if certain component is maximum, like sugar or salt. and Tell you the ways to neutralize it. By this it could help you to prepare dishes, through preloaded ingredient list.

Expert cooks might not need any assistance, but it would certainly help clumsy cooks like me. Also this can help diabetes patients, who need to cut back on sugar, and eaters with high blood pressure, who need to watch their salt intake.

sensors used are made up of, zinc, gold, and aluminium.

As google has updated its TOS (Terms of Service), starting from 11 Oct, there are few things which are new and important, Google has informed this through a blog post .


But the part of the TOS about which we are interested,  is  the fact that our  profile name and photo will be shown in  Google Ads & reviews  
only if:

1. we do +1’ing, commenting or following/ review or rating any brand
2. People with whom we have shared the content can only see our profile name and photo in Ads.
3. we are above 18

Google state this logic:

"Feedback from people you know can save you time and improve results for you and your friends across all Google services, including Search, Maps, Play and in advertising. For example, your friends might see that you rated an album 4 stars on the band’s Google Play page. And the +1 you gave your favorite local bakery could be included in an ad that the bakery runs through Google. We call these recommendations shared endorsements"

Turning off this Feature: 

 via the Shared Endorsements setting we can turn off  this  feature.

MIT research scientists have successfully created self assembling Robots. According to research scientist, John Romanishin, at MIT‘s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) all this started in 2011, though his professor Daniela Rus said that the concept for self-assembling robots could not be pulled off. But after teaming up with his professor, Daniela Rus, and colleague, postdoc Kyle Gilpin.Two years later they came up with this.

Mechanism: This Robots are called M-blocks, each contain a flywheel that can reach speeds of 20,000 revolutions per minute. Each cube’s edge is provided with a specialized magnet. Magnets helps to hold two adjacent Blocks together, allowing them to climb, leap, fly through the air and align in a variety of arrangements. 

 “It’s one of these things that the [modular-robotics] community has been trying to do for a long time,” Rus said, he also said that “This is exciting because a robot designed for a single task has a fixed architecture,” . They said that there dream is to made hundreds of cubes identify themselves , scattered randomly across the floor, coalesce and autonomously transform into a chair, or a ladder or a desk, on demand. 

 If every thing goes well, we may see buildings, Temporary bridges etc made of this M-Blocks in coming future .

Today i will show you how to building a microphone  easily, communicating with voice through internet demand a microphone, But why to spend money for that. So, little effort for this is justified isn't it?   But before starting it is necessary to have all important items which are needed to create that microphone.

Play Sample Recording 

Things we gonna need:  A male 3.5 mm jack, A  P9925-ND (WM-61A) microphone,  Connecting wire. a  Soldering iron, that's it!.
STEP 1:-If your are not a technical guy, you must be scratching your head, right?  don't worry,
just get your faulty/defected headset, and bring the microphone out, indicated in red circle.

STEP 2:- The microphone would look like this (for technical guys: I don't know the price of microphone, you can find it in google search) 

STEP 3:- A male 3.5 mm jack looks like this:

Sorry for the Heading Title, its not actually free a little cost is there, Male jack will cost about 5 INR or something, but connecting wires must be there in your house look out there! 

this is connecting wire :

STEP 4:- Now its time to connect.

i) first mentally mark the microphone  points.  Assign one point as positive and other as negative. Or just put mark with marker with "+" and "-" sign.

  
ii) connect red wire with  (+) positive mark , Connect black with (-) negative mark directly.
 (P.S -Use soldering iron carefully or seek elders advice for soldering.)

iii) now connect it with  3.5 mm Male jack, here actually i have shorted the two ports. this will help producing sound of microphone from stereo systems, otherwise it will become mono. 

               
STEP 5:- Now choose a cover, that will keep all this wires and soldering hidden. Also try to be a little creative make your microphone stand.

This is my microphone, i have used a gum stick, and cutt the head tactfully so that sound enter with less noise.
