Screen-smash??? No more with apple new patent 





Apple has filed a U.S. patent application for a protective mechanism that would "selectively alter a center of mass" of an electronic device.
Other claims suggest that the mechanism would alter the angular momentum of the device in free-fall. The patent further describes how electronic devices could deploy "air foils" to alter the aerodynamics and speed of decent by producing lift.

In an attempt to slow impact, or even prevent it entirely, the patent describes possible "gripping members" that would turn power cords or headphone connectors into makeshift grappling hooks, perhaps with teeth or hooks that bind into the device in the event of dropping it.

This patent really brings out various possible methods to prevent damage(smashed-screen) to the device which many people are worried about.

NTT DOCOMO gears up to 5G data

NTT DoCoMo confirms successful 10Gbps wireless test


No, it’s not the world’s most conspicuous surveillance van — it’s
1 of the first actions toward 5G data. NTT DoCoMo has just confirmed that the gear-laden automobile above effectively conducted a 10Gbps wireless test in Ishigaki this December with the aid of the Tokyo Institute of Technologies. The dry run relied on frequencies and bandwidth effectively outdoors of usual cellular service, in the 11GHz band with 400MHz of spectrum, but proved that it was attainable to blow past the speeds of LTE and LTE-Advanced while moving outdoors the test utilized 24 antennas to maintain the hyperlink. DoCoMo eventually hopes for equivalent speed in frequencies over 5GHz, and it really is not shy about hoping the technology will define mobile communication as it improves. Although we’re not expecting this type of breakneck efficiency in a telephone for years, it is good to know that 4G is not necessarily the finish of the line.

LoFi-Fisheye Digicam shoots HD video, fits in the palm of your hand


  Pressing and holding the power button on the top brings the camera to life and it goes straight into HD video mode.



After a fruitless search for a teeny key-chain digital camera with a fish-eye lens out front, Greg Dash decided to design and build his own. The subsequent prototype was just intended for his own use, but when more and more folks asked him where they could buy one when they spotted him snapping photos, he hatched a crowdfunding plan to bring his LoFi-Fisheye Digicam to market. 







Thankfully, monster lenses like the one introduced by Nikon at the 1970 Photokina show are something of a rarity. Today's smaller varieties, however, are still a rather expensive addition to a photographer's toolkit, and certainly something that was out of Dash's price range. Of course, he could have opted to add something like a Turtle Jacket Penta Eye lens wheel to his iPhone, or post-processed images using software or apps for a digitally-manipulated snap, but didn't feel that such things were quite what he was looking for.

"Although apps give the appearance of a fisheye-effect, they're unable to replicate the true 170-degree image due to the limitations in the hardware," he told us. "Snap-on attachments can suffer from low quality construction, can fall off, can break and can be device specific."

He wanted an easy-to-use, pocket-friendly digital camera that had a quality fish-eye lens, was able to record in HD, and included features like time-lapse – criteria that were satisfied in his (roughly) Chobi Cam-sized LoFi-Fisheye Digicam.
