Misfit Shine Review – The Story of the Indie Tracker

January 12, 2016 By Kenneth Scott Leave a Comment

How do I even start off this Misfit Shine review? Living healthy and keeping track of everything that makes that possible is now subject of an overly expansive industry. It’s no news to anyone that the activity tracker market is close to being oversaturated with the amount of devices peeking out of nowhere, each and every one of them attempting to come up with something new to incite new users to it instead.

Unless you want to expand into fitness and sports tracker territory, there’s honestly only so much you can do to innovate. The original Misfit Shine seems to have had a great impact on the public as it started off as nothing more than an ambitious project listed on IndieGoGo’s series of campaigns with a fund goal of $100,000. Safe to say, the campaign had a shockingly good result as it managed to hit its goal in less than 10 hours from launch and by the time the campaign had ended, it had raised about 9 times the original amount.

That is how the Misfit Shine flagship device managed to become a reality. And putting the Shine right next to say, the Jawbone UP or Pebble Steel, it becomes incredibly difficult to really place them all on a scale and grade them comparatively. Not because of their capability because, in reality they’re all incredibly similar in that respect, but because each manages to appeal to one particular group of people through a particular trait.

The Misfit tracker selling point and outstanding aspect is, after all, its design. The mid-2013 release that was the original Misfit Shine that we will be reviewing here was later on followed up with the Misfit Shine 2 which surprisingly didn’t bring much more to the table and actually maintained the original ideas behind the device.

Pros:

Great design
Light is an understatement
100% waterproof
Low power consumption
Gives you a huge amount of freedom in the way you wish to wear it

Cons:

Not much of a show-off wearable tech kind of gadget
Limited number of tracking sensors
Mediocre tracking with various inconsistencies
No integration with other tracking services

Misfit Shine Design

The Misfit Shine choice of design is definitely unique. It’s hardly larger than a dime and could easily be mistaken for a number of things given its particularly sleek and simplistic design. It’s built from aerospace grade aluminum has an outstanding matte look that I haven’t seen in many other devices.

While the front of the tiny tracker will appear completely void of any design features on first glance, that will soon turn out to be incorrect. On a closer inspection, you’ll notice 12 LEDs hidden right below the delicately curved outer layer. They don’t make an appearance unless you tap the device’s face twice, then taking the form of a simple and clean way of tracking your current progress and even tell you the time.

The back may not be regarded with as much respect by minimalists as it has a few more details than the front. The rear side of the case is curved towards the edges leading into a flat center that displays the Misfit Logo. A small portion featuring an engraved “12” plays the role of a marker of sorts – I’ve yet to find another use of it other than knowing which way is top and which way I’m supposed to position the back cover in in order to be able to put it back on.

All around the Misfit activity tracker you can notice a groove running down the middle and separating the face and back cover. This is an aid to Misfit Shine’s many accessories that make it so flexible in the way you wear it. Speaking of which, the Shine’s package is unfeasibly large for the size of the device itself. But the reason behind it dawns on you as soon as you open it – it comes with its very own band and magnetic clip that will allow you to either wear it as a watch, as something you use as a clothes accessory like a brooch, even a pendant. I’ve seen it being attached to people’s shoelaces even so feel free to experiment.

The device itself is so light you’ll most likely forget it’s even there – weighing 9.4 grams and only measuring 27.5 x 3.3 x 27.5 mm. The Shine comes in a wide variety of colors, starting with the more classic black or gray and adventuring in the land of more vibrant hues such as bright red or blasting blue. There are also special editions of the tracker such as a white one as well as one that features a sports band.

If the default accessories are not sufficient to you, you can even step it up a little into the formal direction with some of the purchasable merchandise for it. Whether this is a classy leather band, a necklace that allows you to fit the Shine in or even a pair of socks with a dedicated pocket for the tracker on its rim, the Misfit website has got it all.

Misfit Shine Features

Misfit Shine as a Clock

Remember the 12 LEDs that stay quietly hidden away from view until you give the Shine a double tap on its face? I have to say, I was very pleasantly surprised at how the device was constructed to begin with, and the clever method employed to use nothing more than just 12 LEDs to display information is simply great.

Maybe some may argue that nothing can replace an LCD or even an e-ink screen but in that case, I would have to argue back as any type of display will take a toll on the battery life of the device in question. So that is one aspect where the Shine… shines.

The way they made it work out was by using one LED that usually lights up brighter as the hour while another one that blinks denotes the minute. Every time you tap on the Shine to get the time, it will automatically light up the four cardinal LEDs, which may seem a little confusing for some but only seems to be an issue of orientation. The only real downside of the Misfit watch clock function is that you can only get ‘round’ numbers such as 12:10 or 4:50 and never the straight out exact time.

Misfit Shine Is a Sturdy Little Thing

And thank goodness for that. Considering it’s so light and tiny and easily forgotten, it’s a completely feasible thing to literally forget you ever had it on and step into the shower or pool with it. Thankfully, its built to be waterproof up to 50 meters (5 atm). It will most likely survive a trip in the washing machine if you happen to forget it clipped to your clothes too though I wouldn’t let it take too many.

It seems to have a sturdy and reliable build but I’ve noticed that resistance to scratching is hardly a defining feature of it. A single mishap is usually enough for you to gain a few scratches on its surface and while that will most likely not affect your use of the device itself, it really hurts to have to look at a scratched face.

Misfit Shine as an Activity Tracker

The Misfit Shine is and should ultimately be used as an activity tracker. It features a 3-axis accelerometer as its sole sensor in charge of tracking your movements throughout the day and your sleeping patterns. But alongside the application, as well as its calculation algorithms you can ultimately track steps walked, calories burned, distance travelled and sleep duration and quality.

It syncs to your mobile device of choice through Bluetooth 4.0 BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), which means even less battery usage. Tracking steps seems to be fairly accurate as they mostly matched the ones tracked by my smartphone too, but distance felt a little bit off. Maybe it’s because it lacks a GPS function and it only has to rely on the movements recorded to get a fair estimate of how far you’ve travelled. That is, at least if you wear it on your wrist.

I’ve noticed that when attached to your clothes for example, the distance seems to be a little more accurate. That is most likely because of the ampler motion of your arms when you walk for example. The Misfit Shine seemed to be able to tell apart when I was walking and when I was cycling too, so in that respect it managed to achieve more than I expected from a 27 mm diameter tracker.

Naturally, the Shine fitness tracker will allow you to manually select a variety of types of tracking in order for it to return you better results. In some cases – such as those times when you wish to track your sleeping patterns – you’ll actually find yourself being forced to manually select the mode as it tends to have a bit of an issue with recognizing the fact that you’ve gone to bed.

Sadly, the Misfit Shine activity tracker lacks a heart rate monitor so there are only so many types of readings it can return you through the Misfit fitness app. Thus, if you take it with you when you’re out for a jog, its calculation of the calorie consumption will be based on distance and time alone and not take much more into account for example. More accurate results can be gained for it if you select the particular type of activity you’re about to undergo too as it let the device know how to calculate it better.

There were some inconsistencies in the readings of the Misfit Shine where it would record me as sleeping while I was sitting to watch a TV series for example and I had to let it know I wasn’t.

Along with its native smartphone application, the tracker does a great job at helping you set goals and also keeping track of them. If, for example you’ve set a goal to walk for an hour daily, the Shine will gradually light up its LEDs showing you how much you still have until you hit your target. Unlike the Shine 2 that features colored LEDs, the original model just relies of white lights that light up to several degrees to let you know whether you’re over your goal or not.

Misfit Shine Setup & Software

I was mistaken to expect the Misfit Shine activity monitor to sync to my phone the exact same way all activity trackers I’ve tested so far do. I mean it does, but only partially. Naturally, the first thing you’ll want to do is to download the Misfit app onto your phone and make sure Bluetooth is turned on. The way the phone will detect your Shine, however, is by placing the tracker onto your phone’s screen.

While all that seems clever and futuristic, the real reason behind it is the fact that the range on the Shine’s Bluetooth is actually pretty small and your phone will have to sense it in its very vicinity to even realize it exists. The capacitive metal contact on the back of the Misfit Shine will trigger syncing when it’s in contact with the phone.

Once synced with your mobile device, the app will show you a much more detailed type of tracking that doesn’t just rely on the approximate nature of the white LEDs on the tracker itself. You’ll see the exact number of steps you’ve taken in your day, the percentage it represents out of your daily goal and so much more.

You’ll find daily, weekly, even monthly graphs of your activity and with the in-build game-like achievement system, you’ll receive awards for things such as achieving the set goal and scores based on your progress. Through the app you can also set yourself different goals, setup notifications and reminders. Not to mention that social element in brought in here too, displaying a list of all of your friends who also use it and their ranking on different types of activities.

The recent updates brought to the Misfit Shine app have also made food logging possible that uses photos and a database of foods to allow you to get an as accurate as possible tracking. Activity tagging has been made a little easier too as it allows you to set the default type first – say, you want walking and step count to be the automatic type of data being tracked – while the secondary ones can be easily accessed and started directly off of the Shine with a triple tap on it.

While the whole placing the Shine on the phone’s display to sync my data was very cool at the beginning, then it became a little bit of an annoyance as I kept having to take it out of the wristband or clip to put it on the phone every time I wanted a number-based type of data regarding my daily goal.

Misfit Shine Battery Life

The absolute greatest part of the whole Misfit Shine ordeal was the fact that charging is not necessary. You don’t get a cable in the box. Because you don’t need a cable whatsoever. The device is powered by a CR2032 watch battery that has a life expectancy of four months. Meaning that once your Shine starts whining for power (also something you can easily find out through the app) you just pry open the back cover, change the battery and you’re done for another third of a year.

This is made possible because of just how little power the device uses. The LED lights don’t stay on unless you’re actively interacting with the device. If you double tap it, it’ll light up, tell you the time, then show you your daily progress and turn off automatically within a matter of seconds. Same goes for syncing data with your phone. It won’t desperately try to sync to a device when it’s not directly on top of a phone’s screen, meaning that a minimal amount of power is needed to keep it good and running.

Misfit Shine Verdict

So to wrap up, the Misfit Shine is a great tool to have that doesn’t blatantly scream “Look at me, I’m very interested in how many calories I’m burning and uppity about it too”. It has a great design that stands out more as an accessory or fashion statement than as wearable tech. And it goes well with a formal attire too, giving you a whole lot of freedom with when and how you wish to wear it.

As an activity tracker, we have to admit there’s no ground-breaking capability there; the types of information it tracks regarding your lifestyle is somewhat minimal and still requires your manual input most of the time. But as long as you just wish for something that keeps track of how sedentary or active you are and even gives you a nudge occasionally to get off your rear and take a walk after a day of work at the office, the Misfit Shine is simply great.

The Misfit Shine can be purchased directly from the Misfit official website for $99.99. However, it’s currently listed at a discounted price of $69.99 so you may want to check it out while it lasts. Their website is also the most reliable place for you to find a new Misfit band to your liking in case you ever need a replacement as well as a fairly long list of Misfit Shine accessories.

New Autonomous Cars from Renault-Nissan Alliance

January 12, 2016 By Karen Jackson Leave a Comment

It seems that a new producer will enter the competition of building the vehicles of the future, as there has just been an announcement about new autonomous cars from Renault-Nissan Alliance. The plan of the company is to create ten self-driving car models, which seems to be the future direction for many car manufacturers.

Renault-Nissan’s project is expected to be finished by 2020, with autonomous cars driving on the roads of the United States, Europe, China and Japan. At the moment, the company’s engineers are tuning the fine details of the automated technology, while managers are kept busy with safety concerns and regulations. The first line of self-driving cars should be ready by the end of this year, and they are expected to have the capability of steering on a highway single lane. However, the cars should be able to drive across many highway lanes by 2018. Lastly, it seems that by 2020 we could all be relaxing in autonomous cars while traveling to work through the city.

Although the fact that quite soon we will not be needing to drive ourselves comes as exciting news, Renault-Nissan Alliance is not the first company to tackle this matter. Tesla Motors has already set into motion the grand plan, and at the moment their cars are able to shift into a self-driving mode while traveling on the highways. Furthermore, some vehicles can even park themselves, and this has been achieved several years ago. Other companies that are working towards the same goal while competing with each other are General Motors, Toyota, Ford Motor, Google Inc., Lyft and Uber, and many believe that Apple Inc. might soon make a similar announcement.

But what is the purpose of self-driving cars? Many people enjoy driving, but there are many situations when this can become boring or annoying, especially when you are stuck in traffic or you have to travel a very long distance. Why not fill this time with useful or pleasant activities? Sooner than expected you will be able to spend traveling time reading, watching movies or TV series, preparing for work or school and so on.

With the introduction of new autonomous cars from Renault-Nissan Alliance, the only issue that remains is the safety of the passengers. Researchers believe that switching from automatic driving to manual control creates a perilous situation, since people become absorbed in other activities and cannot focus all of a sudden on driving. Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn declared that the transition will take place in waves, because the new technology must first be accepted, then understood and finally used.

Apple News App Underestimated Its Popularity

January 11, 2016 By Michael Turner Leave a Comment

It seems that the Apple company does not know the real number of people who are using one of its newest features, as Apple News app underestimated its popularity. The news app was launched in September last year and has since partnered with over one hundred publishing companies. However, Apple does not know the number of people who are reading the news via its application, and neither do media companies.

More precisely, Apple has underestimated the popularity of its application and has thus passed incorrect information to the publishing partners, including The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, the New York Times, Time Inc., the Washington Post, Vice Media and Business Insider. As the company has stated, it is always better to undercount traffic rather than overcount it. Is this a disaster? Not really, but knowing the numbers helps publishers manage their resources, as well as sell advertising accordingly. This does not affect them financially because they do not pay Apple in order to post to Apple News. How does this work? Publishers have to sell personal ads into the application. However, they can keep a percentage of 70% of revenues in case Apple sells the ads in their place.

Internet Services and Software senior vice president, Eddy Cue, has stated that Apple has overlooked the error because it paid more attention to other aspects. He did not explain why or when the issue will be corrected, but he informed us that the company is working on fixing the error.

On the bright side, Apple is pleased with the performance of its new application, and it has received positive reviews from most publishers. Several publishing partners have expressed their concern regarding the measurement of the audience, but also the uncertainties revolving around the serving and selling of ads. Others like Business Insider have stated that they expected more users to read their content posted on Apple News. The Atlantic is worried about the ability of both publishers and public to extract revenues for ads. Apple is trying to solve all the remaining problems, but the company remains positive with both the traffic of the app and the relationship with the publishing partners.

Apple News is now available in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. It runs on iOS9 devices which are equipped with the most recent version of the Apple operating system. According to Eddy Cue, there are about 40 million people using the app at the moment. The fact that Apple News app underestimated its popularity can be considered both a good and a bad sign: good because more people than expected are using it and bad because Apple seems unable to track them, and large companies cannot make such errors.

Alienware X51 Review – The Smallest Gaming Powerhouse

January 8, 2016 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

The first time I ever saw the Alienware X51, I briefly reminisced another device this one strikes an uncanny resemblance to that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. After a 5-minute trek down the memory lane, it turns out that the mysterious device was none other than another Alienware product – the Alienware Alpha. How anticlimactic. Then again, who else manufactures such amazingly looking gaming gadgets?

However, its purpose isn’t quite the same than the Alpha held. While the latter was meant as a sort of portable computer that you could pretend was a console and hook it up to your living room TV, the X51 is just a mini gaming desktop. Whether its user is a professional gamer looking for an easier to carry desktop to take with them at their next tournament or you’re simply just tired of stuffing 20 pounds worth of gaming technology into or underneath your desk, the Alienware X51 is the choice.

The X51 line of mini gaming desktops has been around for a while – long enough to now reach its third iteration (the X51-R3 to be more exact). And truthfully, it has so far managed to impress just how much power you can compress into as little space as you can; and for professional gaming nonetheless, the place where half measures just don’t work.

But no computer manufacturer has yet managed to create the perfect device and the Alienware X51 is not without its faults, for sure. But there seems to be a steady growth rhythm that has been going on since the first X51 was first released.

So is the Alienware X51 the gaming PC you need? Or is it more of a hipster gadget than a truly useful thing to have? And actually, only after answering the above, the true question arises: does the Alienware brand offer truly outstanding gaming equipment or is it just that – the brand? If it succeeds in truthfully being outstanding, what it is that makes it outstanding?

For all intents and purposes, all the information found in the review below concern the latest X51-R3 model and not any of its predecessors.

Pros:

Amazing power to size ratio
Capable of 4K graphics with an optional amplifier
Amazing design
Default model is relatively affordable
Portable

Cons:

The truly high end specifications are in another castle, Mario!
Special design motherboard with native limitations
Difficult and expensive to replace or upgrade parts
The high-end models of the X51 are ludicrously expensive

Alienware X51 Design

I don’t want anyone to believe I’m being biased when I say this as I personally own a custom rig gaming PC at home and my entire history with an Alienware desktop can be summed up to reviewed products they sell. However, I really and most sincerely believe that Alienware is the most entitled company to gloat and be self-satisfied when it comes down to design. At this point, the company’s brand is a truthfully great representation of their gadgets.

And it doesn’t even stop at the exterior design either. Open up one of these babies (once your warranty allows you to do so, of course) and you’ll see what I mean.

Going back to what I’d started, however, the Dell Alienware X51 dimensions are laughable – in a positive way – if you’re to compare it to your regular gaming desktop. Compare it to the Alienware Alpha PC / console hybrid or any PlayStation or Xbox you have lying around, and it doesn’t seem so small anymore. Its exact dimensions are 13.5 x 12.5 x 3.7 inches and it weighs somewhere around 12 lbs. It’s definitely not console sized, but once again – still a huge difference from your regular gaming desktop.

The Alienware X51 case is incredibly slim and features the wildly sleek design that most, if not all Alienware computers have. You’ll immediately notice that its exterior is composed of several plates that are made from different materials. While the sides are matte black, the central, front plate is glossy and extends all over the front and top of the tower, curving gently at the edge where the power LED and button is at.

The trademark Alienware logo and slowly shifting colors can be found here too. The logo rests on the front of the computer while two lit panels rest on either side of the tower. All of the above elements can be set to shuffle through the color spectrum or be set to a static hue, similarly to how the Razer DeathAdder can, for example. The Alienware name isn’t missing either: you’ll find it sleekly engraved in either side plate of the computer.

Alienware X51 Ports

When they made the Alienware X51, they really took all the peripherals you would ever need for your gaming experience into consideration. Frankly, if I hadn’t built my personal PC to include a couple extra USB slots, the X51 would’ve dwarfed my computer in that department. There is a total of 8 USB slots of various types – 6 on the rear and two on the front of the computer. 4 of them are SuperSpeed USB ports (3.0 USB), 2 are Hi-Speed USB (2.0 USB) while the last two are SuperSpeed USB 10 Gbps models (3.1 second generation USB).

The rear also features a 1.4 HDMI output port at the very top, making it possible for you to connect your computer to any monitor or television set. Sadly, there isn’t a DisplayPort available as an alternative on the X51 but then again, chances are you won’t find that technology on many monitors that aren’t as recent.

On the back of the Dell Alienware desktop, an RJ-45 Gigabit Ethernet port can be found and comes as a second means of internet connectivity on top of the wireless card that the Alienware X51 R3 has been gifted with. That way you can get either the freedom of Wi-Fi or the irreplaceable juice that a direct connection can give you with the Dell gaming desktop.

You’ll find the regular three separate ports for an entire 5.1 sound system, subwoofer included on the rear. The AC power input is as small as one you would find on any single laptop out there. This felt a little worrying at first as I originally suspected a weaker and lower-usage power supply to be behind it. Turns out I was right as the entire rig is powered with a 330 Watt AC power supply that is rather questionable when it comes to full-fledged gaming computers. I guess that’s the state of affairs when it comes to mini gaming computers.

To wrap up, you will be able to find the headset mic in and headphone out ports on the front of the thing, making it perfectly accessible to plug in and out whenever you wish without even having to get off your chair.

Alienware X51 Specs & Available Configurations

I literally got lost on the Dell website trying to get a good custom rig built just to see how far the X51-R3 can really go with the absolute best components out there. Now, this isn’t particularly reflective of how good the Alienware X51 is as a gaming computer, but it’s something that you will have to put up with if you wish to go through the regular build-it-yourself ordeal. The website is confusing and offers sadly limited information on various components.

Regardless, the basic Alienware X51 that Dell offers you was shockingly less powerful than what you are normally led to believe. As a matter of fact, I’ve concluded that the components fell into the medium tier; medium enough to not exactly justify the $699 Alienware price tag on it.

To make a quick summary of the specs you’d get for that amount of money: Intel Core i3-6100 3MB Cache @3.7 GHz CPU (6^th Gen Skylake model), the nVidia GeForce GTX 745 @4GB DDR3 GPU, 8GB Dual Channel DDR4 @2133 MHz RAM, 1 TB of storage space on a 7200 RPM SATA HDD, the Intel 3165 1×1 802.11ac Wi-Fi Wireless LAN card and pre-installed Windows 10 Home 64bit. That’s about it in terms of tech specs, although you do also get a dual layer 9.5 mm DVD burner buried somewhere in that too.

Let’s start off by talking a little about the CPU. It’s not an old unit or anything (if memory serves, it was released sometime in mid-2015 and it’s even part of the 6^th generation of Intel Core i3 processors) but it won’t throw you off balance in computing power. With only two cores to work with, things are handled in the same way as a quad-core or beyond would. Then again, I’ll go ahead and remind both you and myself that this is a small-scale computer and not the gaming monster I have back at home.

Out of everything, I think the GPU was the part I was disheartened by the most. The nVidia 700 series is 2 years old! Or at least the GTX 745 that you’ll find in it is. Normally, when I’m about to invest in a gaming computer, my thinking is “hey, that hole that I just burned into my wallet that I’ll feel for a couple of months at least better last me more than this year”. Buying something that has 2-year old releases in it is not something I’d recommend. Sure, if you’re going to use this as a portable computer for LAN tournaments I’m sure League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, DotA 2 and any other popular e-Sport will run fine on it but otherwise, I’d definitely pick something newer. You don’t want your Dark Souls 3 to be capped at 30 fps when it comes out in April, do you?

How to make it better

Once you manage to get your head around working the Alienware website, building your very own X51 ia a process that will take a fair amount of customization. Though the company refuses to appeal to my OCD regarding the power source and literally doesn’t allow me to select another one (meaning that if you DO want to change it, you’ll have to do it via third parties after your warranty period is over), everything else seemed like something I could work with.

The CPU you can upgrade up to an i7-6700 8MB cache 4.0 GHz with hyper threading included. The Dell website is nice enough to allow you to pick your favorite GPU out of either the AMD Radeon R9 370 @4GB GDDR5 or its nVidia counterpart, the GTX 960 @2GB GDDR5. You can even put in up to 16 GB of dual channel DDR4 @2133 MHz RAM memories (2 x 8GB). The Alienware X51 motherboard can only go up to 16 GB RAM regardless, so there’s not much more upgrading you can do after that.

Shockingly, I couldn’t find an SSD hard drive alternative to the SATA one unless you’re opting for the model that starts off at $1,469.99 that has a 256 GGB solid state HDD and a 2 TB 7200RPM SATA. On a regular X51 model, that one would also have to be done through third parties, not to mention that everything inside the Alienware X51 is really well packed together and even quite difficult to take apart component by component. There is literally no room for two hard drives in there.

When everything was said and done and I felt a little better about the specs I’d managed to put in the new X51 computer, I realized there’d been a major flaw in my thinking and that now the computer’s price had gone up to $1,488.99. Oh well.

Alienware X51 Performance

The power of the X51 is really just the capability found in the sum of its parts. To reiterate on something that I said earlier into the review, the Alienware X51 R3 is not a computer you buy because it’s time for an upgrade and you want to be able to play anything coming out this year on Ultra graphics settings. You buy it for its portability potential; you buy it because it won’t make the floorboards or the desk curve under its weight. And yet, games looked great on it, FPS was skyrocketing to inhuman values and I really felt like the little guy was great at fooling me into thinking I was using a regular gaming desktop.

Now, remember when I said all the components inside it are really well packed together and it’s difficult to even pull them out of their metallic confines? The greatest advantage of this computer turns out to also be its greatest enemy. Because everything is so compact, there’s little to no space for the unit to get properly cooled and the components’ own coolers can only do so much. There is a case cooling unit too but its buzzing attempts felt laughable to say the least.

I have to admit it didn’t happen to me, but I’ve seen countless of people complaining that the system overheats, usually leading into a forced shut down, blue screens when BIOS decides the computer has had enough and so on. I trust that this only starts happening after a certain amount of usage and heavily depends on how you use the X51 too. On the other hand, the PC is extremely quiet.

I’ve only gone through a few minutes of several older DX11 games such as BioShock Infinite, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Sleeping Dogs etc. and I’ve found 0 reasons to be unhappy. I cranked up the graphics settings all the way to maximum and the X51 didn’t even hiccup once. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Fallout 4 testing didn’t go as well and actually made me want to turn down the settings a fair amount because I’d already got used to the crazy unlocked FPS in the other titles and the X51 had already started stuttering.

Alienware X51 Included Peripherals & Paid Upgrades

When you order the Alienware X51 off the Dell website, you also get to choose whether you want to indulge in the complimentary Alienware mouse and keyboard. Neither of the two is an amazing peripheral by itself – in what gaming is regarded at least. The mouse is a meager 1200 DPI with no extra buttons and no special power to speak of. Similarly, the keyboard is a regular multi-media membrane model, featuring a numpad, several media controls and shortcut buttons to things such as your email, calculator, Windows Explorer and so on.

The website offers two critical items that are aimed to enhance your gaming experience. One of them is the ‘cutting edge liquid cooling’ system; purely optional, it will make CPU overclocking possible without setting fire to your house. This alternative to the cooling system is only available for the $1.469.99 model, however, so it doesn’t come cheap.

Secondly, you can also opt for an Alienware Graphics Amplifier. Available for any X51 you choose but also coming for at least an extra $200, the amplifier is basically an external box that adds a secondary, usually stronger GPU. A full-fledged, gaming desktop GPU. It also gives you a few connectivity perks such as allowing you to connect another HDD in there as well as some of your other peripherals. While the lowest price end you can get is $200, the highest is an astonishing $1,499.98 – you get the amp plus a PNY GeForce GTX Titan X @12 GB GDDR5 video card in it. That way you can push your games to 4K HD resolutions, outstanding graphics quality and it even takes some weight off of the X51 with the overheating.

It’s a tough call to make, but it’s an alternative.

Alienware X51 Software & Features

If you order the Alienware X51 with an operating system included, you’ll get it preinstalled when the unit is shipped to you. You can only choose between Windows 10 64bit Home or Pro editions or the Windows 8.1 Pro.

Apparently, any X51 R3 model is VR ready but that simply means they’re good enough to run virtual reality gear such as the Oculus Rift whether you ever choose to use one.

If there’s anything about native brand software that’s usually included in these computers that I can appreciate, it’s the Alienware Command Center 4.0. The program is basically the central hub of controls and customizations you can do to your Alienware X51, starting with the lighting controls up to GPU, CPU and memory monitoring, tweaking and clocking. It’s a very nice selection of controls you can use for a perfectly personalized experience; I’d like to say that it’s lightweight too, but it’s not, really.

Similarly, your Alienware X51 will come with Alien Autopsy preinstalled – a piece of software that will attempt its best at assisting you with any issues that may arise with your computer; both hardware and software related.

Alienware X51 Verdict

So we’ve taken a really good look at everything you can do with the Alienware X51 R3 default model. At least as much as you can tell by only giving the computer a spin for a short time. Maybe some of my opinions would have changed if I’d been using the Alienware Graphics Amplifier for example, or I’d done a more extensive game test.

The Alienware X51 is a good gaming computer, especially when you look at its overall size. It manages to run plenty of titles at great performance and only starts struggling when really put to a stress test. If you truly need the portability that the X51 holds with it or you’re not planning to use it as your next main gaming desktop, it can handle itself very well; and it most cases it will be able to excuse its high price tag.

If you wish to truly be up to date with what the gaming technology has to offer and ready for this year’s upcoming titles, I would not make the X51 the first recommended computer off the top of my head for it. Even if you upgrade it to the absolute highest specs you could ever ask for, Alienware x51 I7, amplifier included and everything, it would be ultimately end into a waste of money. The same money that you can use to get a better full-sized gaming desktop and even save up some for a 144 Hz monitor on the side for example.

Segway and Intel Built a Cute Robot that You can Ride

January 7, 2016 By Nancy Young Leave a Comment

It looks like Plank from Ed, Edd n Eddy.

Segway and Intel built a cute robot that you can ride – it was unveiled at CES, just moments ago.

Segway has been often ridiculed for their products. The personal transportation device is mostly seen used by somewhat overweight tourists that don’t really like to put walking in the walking tour.

Segway doesn’t like that, and this cute ridable robot might just change everybody’s perception of the company. The two-wheeled scooter turns into a mini-butler when not used for riding around the city.

Looking like something out of hipster-heaven, the Ninebot Segway was built in collaboration with Intel and Xiaomi and can reach speeds of up to 18km/h and travel a distance of 30km on a single charge.

When the user arrives at the destination, the Ninebot Segway turns into this little cute robot that has a screen for a head, and, get this, arms!

Yet, its arms come separately, and they have to be slapped onto the critter’s back. Its hands are Lego-like, and they’re not much of use besides picking up cups or holding groceries. Yet, the latter would require some placement skill on behalf of the owner.

Ninebot is backed by Xiaomi and Intel. The robotics startup, which acquired Segway in April of 2015, developed the little robot to sense its surroundings, recognise people, voices and objects. It can also perform a variety of tasks via a dev kit.

It’s not just awesome to ride on, but it can help with menial tasks. It has been seen taking photos and videos of its owners, carrying shopping bags from the market to its home, as well as observing the world with its two sparkling circles that it uses for eyes.

The Segway Robot speaks in the usual monotone robotic voice and it can recognize voice commands. We don’t know for sure, but we think that the internet-connected camera on its face will be able to share all of your pics and videos to social media platforms as well as perform other tasks.

A developer kit will be released in the second half of 2016, while the commercial version of the product will launch at the end of 2016, with rumours noting that a possible early 2017 date not out of the question.

Ninebot, which has announced that will adopt the Segway name and become part of the Segway covenant, has also announced that this isn’t the last venture with Intel and Middle Kingdom smartphone behemoth Xiaomi.

With cute little robots swarming our homes in 2016, and early 2017, we are just super curious to find out when a better A.I. will be implemented so we actually feel like we’re talking to a faux human being.

Uber Got a Laughable Fine and a Slap on the Wrist

January 7, 2016 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

Uber got a laughable fine and a slap on the wrist – $20.000 for a company that is worth $50 billion is just despicable.

Uber has been fined just $20.000 for their God View tool, which tracks users, and also for the company’s security practices, data hack.

The popular ride-hailing company came under scrutiny after an investigation from, get this, Buzzfeed. The way the firm handles the sensitive user data is worrisome but it doesn’t appear so to the judge ruling the case.

Considering that in 2014 a security breach exposed the data of 50.000 drivers across the US, just sanctions were not taken.

Besides the mere fine, Uber was forced to agree on adopting more rigorous security and privacy practices. This means that from now on, all of their riders will have their geo-location data encrypted, as well as being password-protected.

The security breach started when an Uber engineer uploaded an access ID to the firm’s 3rd party cloud service onto popular Git repository hosting service GitHub – unbeknownst to the Uber employee that it was available to the public. This happened on, or sometime surrounding, the date of May 12, 2014.

Yet, Uber reported the incident on February 26, 2015, and that’s because they received a tip from a former employee of a competitor, which noted that the competing company had full access to a Uber security key.

Talk about being super sloppy.

The ride-sharing company claims that it took immediate action to revoke said existing access ID from their system, and issued a new one. The firm notes that, since then, it has implement a variety of encryptions and other such authentication controls, as well as hiring additional security personal and offering more, and better security training.

Because it has failed to announce this security breach, Uber received a $20.000 slap on the wrist for ” unreasonable delay”.

In other news, Yellow Cab, which is San Francisco’s largest taxi company, has just filed for bankruptcy due to competition from Lyft and Uber, as well as including several unresolved court cases.

It seems that ride-hailing companies will most definitely surpass the traditional taxi’s popularity. GM stands by that statement, and has funded Lyft with $500 million, thus helping them with their development of self-driving cars, which General Motors thinks is the future.

As reports start pouring that autonomous vehicles will be a thing by 2030, more and more car manufacturers start jumping on the bandwagon with either development or funding companies that have already begun the process.

Apple, Google, and Tesla are among the first and considered top competitors in the autonomous vehicles industry.

Withings Go is a Cheap Activity Tracker That Gets You Up and Running

January 6, 2016 By Kenneth Scott Leave a Comment

Withings Go is a cheap activity tracker that gets you up and running – if you’re too lazy to do any exercise, it’s about time to consider buying a fitness gadget that’ll help you scrape off some of those extra pounds.

There are so many activity trackers to choose from – Jawbone UP24, Jawbone UP 3, Garmin Fenix 2 and Fenix 3 to name just a few; that it’s quite hard to imagine how the Withings Go will break into this overly saturated market.

Yet, the Withings Go might just actually become top-dog in no time due to two fantastic choices.

The E Ink display provides excellent battery efficiency.
A countdown that continues to motivate users.

The Withings Go will be available in Q1 of 2016, retailing at $70 a pop. It can be slipped into a pocket, hung from button, snagged to a belt or even worn on your ankle or wrist. Regardless of whether you choose to place it, you just need to carry it and the Go will efficiently track your day to day activity.

Running, walking, swimming – thanks to being waterproof up to 5 ATM; and even sleeping. Consumers don’t have to manually switch between tracking modes as it knows what you’re doing!

Thanks to the Go’s E Ink display, which doesn’t require that much power-juice, the activity tracker can run on just one button cell battery for approximately eight months.

To keep tabs on your activity levels, the Go uses the free Withings Health Mate app that is available for Android and iOS. Owners can even set a specific fitness target goal. All of the progress will be displayed on the Go by using the highly-motivating circular countdown.

Guilt was, is and will always be a huge motivation tool, and go figure, a company has found that it can actually make a ton of money out of marketing it.

The E Ink display comes with a touch button, which serves users as a easy to use switch when they want to change between tracking modes and fitness goals.

If you want the Go to become a simple, but animated watch, you can use the touch button to do so.

Even when there are a ton of other devices that can keep track of your activity levels – such as smartphones, smartwatches and other dedicated fitness trackers; Withings does an admirable job of pushing a fresh gadget into the sea of fitness trackers.

Considering that nobody really wants to take their smartphone or smartwatch with them for a few laps in a pool, or on a rainy jog, the Go, and other devices like it, will forever have a place in our lives.

Samsung SmartCam HD Pro Review – Home Security

January 6, 2016 By Deborah Campbell Leave a Comment

The advancement of consumer technology is taking a steep hike upwards as it begins focusing on so much more than just smartphones, tablets and particularly clever television sets. Even if they’re all closely tied together and the concept of smart homes has never been closer to becoming a common reality than it is now, security is not one of the first things you think of when considering gadgetry.

The Samsung SmartCam HD Pro is here to prove that by making use of all these commonly employed concepts behind touchscreen smartphones, motion detectors and even advanced microphones can truly be of benefit in more than just entertainment. Coming as a wireless camera that you can use as a security tool, a monitor for various types of surveillance and much more, the Samsung SmartCam HD Pro can easily be considered one of the best alternatives of this type out there.

Featuring plenty of game-winning hardware capabilities such as 1080p video and night vision, the Samsung SmartCam HD Pro excels when used as a security camera for your home, but can also be employed as a baby monitor or audio recording device.

Pros:

Great design
Easy to use
Customizable selective video capture
1080p video quality
Night vision

Cons:

No Cloud storage option
Certain features can only be used via the smartphone app
Questionable desktop application
cannot perform as well as professional surveillance equipment

Samsung SmartCam HD Pro Design

The Samsung SmartCam HD Pro starts off on the right foot by adopting a great design. With dimensions of 4.7 x 3.3 x 3.1 inches and negligible weight, the camera is circular, sleek, small and discreet. The exterior is made of mostly plastic, but thanks to the metallic-looking finish on the outer edge, the SmartCam ends up as one of the most aesthetically pleasing options to go for.

It is connected to an all-plastic stand around the back that allows you to connect the camera to a number of surfaces, regardless of orientation. The stand itself allows you to tilt the camera to a near 360 degree angle – either backward or forward – allowing you to get a perfect view of the room you wish to set it up in.

The stand allows connecting the camera to vertical surfaces such as walls either via the double-sided adhesive tape that is provided in the package, or via screws if you’re willing or able to drill holes in the preferred position.

The face of the camera features the Samsung logo at the bottom, while the rather large camera sensor is situated at the top. All around the 1080p camera sensor there are 10 infrared LEDs that are meant to enable night vision for the device. Right below the sensor you will be able to notice a smaller LED; this one is a luminance sensor that will improve vision in low-lit environments.

Turn the camera upside down and you’ll actually be able to find a microSD card slot for extra storage. This is not something you find often on home security cameras, but it will provide you with at least one means of storing recorded video, seeing that Cloud storage is sadly not adopted by the Samsung security camera. If you wish to find an upside in that, I guess the fact that most security camera cloud services require a monthly/yearly subscription that can take you up to $100 for 1 year is what you’re looking for.

Samsung SmartCam HD Pro Features

The Samsung SmartCam HD Pro features a diagonal field of view of 128 degrees. It doesn’t exceed nor fall behind other cameras of the competition in that perspective, most going between an average 125 to 130 degrees. Depending on the positioning of your security camera, you will most likely be able to set it up in order to get an ample view of an entire room.

The aspect that the Samsung WiFi camera – or IP (Internet Protocol) camera – succeeds in shining at is the quality of its video. Having been granted a 1/2.8 inch CMOS sensor, it will guarantee that both recorded and live footage is smooth and lag-free. Naturally, there may be a slight difference being sensed depending on the type of internet connection being used. In that sense, if you’re trying to view the live video feed on 3G, you will certainly notice a huge difference than using your home’s 5.0 GHz Wi-Fi connection. So it’s wise to remember that the video quality may differ when using lower-speed connections. You can stream video to your desktop in as much as 1080p at 30 frames per second and to your mobile device in 720p.

As a security camera, the Samsung SmartCam HD Pro offers a wide variety of features that give you full transparency of your home. To begin with, the camera can be set to rely on particular motion detection zones. That is particularly useful if you have pets or fans you leave on for example. That way, your camera won’t recognize particular zones as threats when motion is detected. Similarly, you can select up to 3 zones for targeted motion detection to let the camera know to focus on them in particular. This is all done through a simple drag motion on your touchscreen or default drag and select with your mouse on a desktop or laptop.

Thanks to the 10 infrared LEDs, vision is not a problem regardless of the time of day. As a further improvement to that, the camera also features WRD (Wide Dynamic Range) technology, which is meant to improve backlit images while the Samsung Light Enhancer that is incorporated in it helps brighten and clear up dark or grainy video.

As I previously mentioned, the Samsung SmartCam HD Pro is proficient on the side of audio too. Featuring a two-way capability thanks to the microphone and speaker that were added in its construction, the camera will be able to provide you with more than just mute video. You can use it to both hear what is happening on the other side, as well as talk to anyone there. Because of that, the Samsung SmartCam can easily be used as a baby monitor or a camera that you use for your front door. Then again, the downside would be the fact that this feature seems to only be usable with a smartphone and not with any kind of computer for an unknown reason.

The one feature where the Samsung SmartCam HD Pro won’t prove to be particularly capable and a bit of an annoyance is the fact that it can’t be programmed to turn on or off at specific times. Instead, the camera will literally just stay on continuously. As long as you’ve put in a microSD card in the slot, the recording can be turned on and let on indefinitely. When the card maxes out on space, the camera will start deleting earlier recordings to make space for newer ones.

Notifications are probably the most useful part of it all. You can set your camera up to send you a push notification directly to your mobile phone if it detects motion or audio when it shouldn’t. You can scroll through the sensitivity settings for both motion and audio to ensure that no false events will have you alerted.

As a baby monitor, the Samsung Smart Camera comes equipped with pre-installed MIDI music tracks which you can turn on and use as lullabies for your little one. You’ll find Brahms, Over the Rainbow and Brahms Orgel as song options.

Samsung SmartCam HD Pro Setup & Performance

You can pair your Samsung SmartCam HD Pro to either your phone or tablet as well as a PC. The setup process slightly differs from mobile devices to computers but it’s nearly just as easy on both.

When setting the camera up through your smartphone, all you need to do is to download the free Samsung SmartCam app for either iOS or Android and let yourself be taken through the easy to use, step by step installation wizard after you’ve created your account. Provided your Wi-Fi is on and that your phone is connected to it, everything should be pretty self-explanatory.

When trying to set the camera up through a desktop or laptop, you will need to visit the Samsung SmartCam official website www.samsungsmartcam.com and tap on the green Starting SmartCam button to begin. The camera will use a browser plug-in which you need to install to be able to continue the setup process. Now the only difference will be the fact that you need to use the Ethernet cable that comes in the package to connect your camera to the internet.

Frankly, if it wasn’t for the finicky plug-in that I had to install on my PC in order to get things started, everything would’ve been perfectly painless. But you can just go ahead and blame that on my personal bias against anything related to browser plug-ins, add-ons, third-party toolbars and so on. Otherwise, the setup process went perfectly smooth on both Wi-Fi and Ethernet, the camera picking up on both of my connections – 2.4 and 5.0 GHz one.

Samsung SmartCam HD Pro App & Control

All of your control over the camera is done through the mobile app or via the desktop plug-in/web viewer. Here is where you’ll be able to stream live video through as well, while every recording will stay on the microSD card.

As soon as you’ve logged in into your app and to your camera (yes, you basically require 2 login stages), you’ll be immediately taken to the live footage of your camera. If you own more cameras and you wish to view a different one, you’ll have to log in to the new one instead. All of the buttons below represent a different setting and function.

That way, you’ll get controls over manual recording which you can turn on or off directly from your phone, taking a snapshot of what is currently being recorded by the camera, using the two-way push-to-talk feature, switching from low to high quality video, the baby monitor music button, brightness slider, perspective change if more than a camera is connected, motion zone selection and the voice recording option.

Every other feature that the camera is capable of can be found by hitting the back or main menu button, where you’ll find a list of your recently recorded events such as motion or audio detection, reviewing any recorded video by selecting the date and time of when you want to start watching and the camera settings. These include speaker and mic volume, night vision, WDR, display date, the status of the LED, firmware version details and so on.

All in all, the Samsung SmartCam HD Pro is definitely capable as a security camera, but not particularly efficient at anything else. While the video quality, the luminosity levels and night vision are great things to be able to tinker with, I still feel that Cloud services would’ve come in handy more than a microSD card does. If, hypothetically speaking, the camera itself gets stolen once there’s a break-in and you weren’t on spot to take screenshots as it was happening, your recorded content is literally gone forever as it’s only been recorded on the SD card. That’s one aspect that makes the Samsung SmartCam a questionable option for dire situations.

Samsung SmartCam HD Pro Verdict

In the end, the Samsung SmartCam HD Pro is the kind of camera I would heartily recommend for basic home surveillance because – at least for its price group – it does wonderfully when you just need to keep an eye on your home when you’re away. Considering you can, at any time, take a look at what’s going on at home with your smartphone and immediately take a snapshot of it as soon as you’re alerted is a great thing to have if you want to react fast.

The video quality is absolutely great regardless of lighting conditions and even allows you to zoom in on particular focus zones easily or select focus areas like safes or particular doors. However, if you require a more professional surveillance piece of equipment, the Samsung wireless security camera is not exactly cut out for that role due to the mentioned limitations. But you can probably already tell that as the camera is listed for only $155 on Amazon and most professional security cameras will normally exceed hundreds.

Qualcomm Starts 2016 Big: The Snapdragon 820 Chipset and Grabs Audi as Customer

January 6, 2016 By Karen Jackson Leave a Comment

Qualcomm starts 2016 big: the Snapdragon 820 chipset and grabs Audi as customer. These announcements were made during the CES 2016 event, which takes place in Las Vegas.

CEO of Qualcomm, Steve Mollenkopf, gave away crucial information about the first smartphone to be powered by the company’s new Snapdragon 820 chipset.

The smartphone is called LeTV Le Max Pro – an odd name if I’ve ever seen one.

LeTV is a Chinese tech behemoth that has not expanded outside of the Middle Kingdom, yet. The LeTV Le Max Pro comes with an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which can be found at the back of the handset, and Qualcomm’s chipset will enable it to support WiFi 802.11 ad, also known as WiGig, notes Android Police.

The Snapdragon 820 will come packed with a home-grown quad-core Kryo proc that runs at 2.2 GHz. The graphics department will be handled by the insanely powerful Adreno 530 GPU. Qualcomm’s chipset will also support tri-band Wi-Fi, Quick Charge 3.0, and LTE Category 12 connectivity – the latter has proven to provide massive data speed.

The chip manufacturer hasn’t revealed any other information, apart from the proc details. There’s no info regarding pricing nor a set release date. Yet, we are hopeful that Qualcomm will shed some light on everything during the CES 2016 event, which is currently taking place.

Phone Arena picked a few rumours that suggest that the LeTV Le Max Pro will come with Google’s Android 6.0 Marshmallow, that the smartphone will showcase a 5.5-inch Quad HD display that’s capable of outputting a resolution of up to 1,400 x 2,400 pixels.

In other news, Mollenkopf also announced that the company has just signed a deal with Volkswagen AG’s Audi unit so 2017 model vehicles will have built-in Qualcomm-developed processors.

Mollenkopf continued to add that [the company] as well as Volkswagen, understands that the car is currently being reinvented, and technological advancements are changing how a vehicle is used, sold and even serviced.

And this is just the beginning, notes Qualcomm’s Chief Executive Officer.

Audi will make use of the chipmaker’s 620 chipset in its 2017 models, as well as their newly announced 820A processor that is specially designed for vehicles. The chip helps to power the car’s communications and infotainment.

The San Diego-based company is trying its hardest to broaden its horizon by slightly moving to other mediums outside of the smartphone industry, from where it gains the majority of its income.

Qualcomm has lost quite a lot of marketshare over the last year as competition in chipmaking in the mobile industry has been increasing. Stocks dropped 33 percent in 2015, and it marks the worst annual performance for the company since the tech bubble burst that took place in 2001.

Parrot’s Disco Drone has Wings and it Can Reach Speeds of Up to 50MPH

January 5, 2016 By Deborah Campbell 1 Comment

Parrot’s Disco Drone has wings and it can reach speeds of up to 50MPH – oh, it’s also incredibly fun to play with.

Given that the drones trend has absolutely exploded over the past couple of years, enthusiasts want more performance, more flight-time and better recording hardware.

Parrot’s Disco Drone seems to fit the criteria perfectly – it’s super fast, it’s incredibly easy to control and it’s tough as nails!

Oh, did I mention that it has wings?

The Disco Drone can record up to 1080p HD, and the camera, which can be found on the nose of the gadget, is digitally stabilized so it gets the perfect shots. Wings have your usual flaps, which are controlled by motors, and the rotor on its tail makes Parrot’s drone resemble a small airplane.

Considering that it has wings and flaps, users might be enticed to seek something more easier to control. Parrot assures everyone that there’s no rocket science involved and, even though it’s far from being just an enthusiast’s drone, everyone will be able to fly it without murdering a wall.

Mainly due to its Parrot-made app, the Disco will basically fly itself.

The company even sells a specially made controller for those who want to get more bang out of their buck. The French-based company notes that using the controller is exactly like using the app – you have a single joystick that controls altitude, and right and left directions.

Parrot built into the Disco a variety of sensors that will keep it stable in the air. On the bottom, you’ll find both an ultrasound and a sight camera, which helps it maintain stability.

To determine the drone’s speed, the manufacturer build a pitot sensor in its nose, and, as with other top-notch drones, if you lose track of it, or if it realizes that it’s miles away from Kansas, it will come home by itself using GPS.

The drone weighs about 1.5 pounds, and with a 1.1-meter wingspan, the Disco isn’t a grab and go kind of toy. Parrot notes that it’s stuffed with a lot of tough foam so, if it happens to hit a tree, a wall, or crash into something, it will survive unscratched.

However, it really depends on the speed of the drone.

The battery allows the Parrot Disco Drone to fly for up to 45 minutes.

At the moment of writing, there’s no information on how much the Parrot Disco Drone will cost, or when it’s going to actually drop. We only know that it’s going to be available sometime in 2016.
