WhatsApp Will Introduce Voice Call Service Soon

September 1, 2014 By Roxanne Briean Leave a Comment

Whatsapp has declared that it will add the service of  voice calls for its 450 million users at the end of this year. This service will certainly be a new competitor for all the telecom network operators in the marketplace.

Jan Koum, the CEO of Whatsapp informed that the mobile messaging apps will  allow its customers to make calls in the second quarter of this year. The chief purpose behind the release of this novel service is to hit a billion users.

Recently, Facebook has acquired Whatsapp and the intact team of Whatsapp has joined Facebook. Although the company purchased Whatsapp but still the  messaging service will work independently.

Messaging is the initiatory experience of several people when they begin to use mobile internet. Therefore, this deal will pave the way for  Facebook and will mingle it up with the messaging services. The addition of voice service  the social network  will  convert itself  into a new fundamental function of smart phones.

Mark Zuckerburg, the CEO expressed that the messaging service will produce a great deal more profit as compared to the price paid for its purchase. He stated that some new South Korean companies such as Kakao Talk and Naver’s Line generates a revenue of $2 and $3 per every user. Although both the companies are in their initial phase.

As per the media reports, Whatsapp created a revenue of nearly  $20 million last year.

Moreover, Zuckerburg stated that he really believes that Whatsapp worth more than 19 billion independently. Therefore, it was not a bad decision.

Whatsapp transformation into voice calls would not be able to make a good deal with telecom carriers. The rivals of Whatsapp  such as  KakaoTalk,  China’s WeChat have gained the trust  of nearly all telecom operators.

Zocalo: Amazon’s Newly Introduced File Sharing Service

September 1, 2014 By Kenneth Scott Leave a Comment

zocalo service by Amazon, will let you store documents and share services designed for enterprise now.

It launched its limited preview in the previous month. The costing for the same is $5 per month; end user can get 200 GB of storage. User can comment on files, send them to other users for assessment, upload new versions and more and that too with any platform/device whether it’s a PC, Macs, Android or iOS.

Amazon zocalo provides IT administrators to incorporate with existing corporate directories, audit logs. IT can execute the appropriate permissions for users, assuring the accessibility of specific files they are meant to see.

Amazon announced a 30-day free trial and this service is open to all AWS customers. zocalo’s goal is to reach the maximum big enterprise crowd, among which few of them still paying for legacy, on-premise solutions. zocalo is a potential competitor of cloud storage Dropbox which recently announced reduction in pricing and storage increment for its Pro customers. Even Dropbox is a competitor of other cloud storage services like Google Drive and Box.

But this is not the first cloud storage service introduced by Amazon; it has already made its marketplace previously with Amazon Cloud Drive which is a Google Drive competitor which is highly productive when integrated with the company’s own Fire phone (which is a big advantage). Fire phone users get unlimited photo storage for their smartphone photos in Cloud Drive.

zocalo also includes AWS Cloud Trails which is basically a web service tracking AWS API calls and sends log files to you. CloudTrail will track all the calls made with zocalo API, which is by default internal but there is a probability that it will be made public in near future declared by Amazon.

Sources: Yellowstone Supervolcano Eruption Not Catastrophic

August 31, 2014 By Deborah Campbell Leave a Comment

Yellow Stone national Park is currently in news as volcanic calderas & super volcano are located here. The caldera & the most of the park are located in the northwest corner of Wyoming. This region has already experienced 3 eruptions and those were around 2.1 million years, one at 3.1 million years & recent one was 64,000 years ago.

As per the studies & research though there will be super volcanic flare up , at least meter of ash would wrap Rocky mountain range & it can also touch cities on the both coasts of US it may hamper the air travel also  . According to the further research there has been seen relative consistence at yellow stone. Park officials don’t expect this eruption anytime in next 1,000 years and also park is well equipped with monitoring systems & there would be plenty of warning would be set weeks or even months before this eruption would take place.

 

United states Geological survey are in use of newly developed 3- dimensional modeling program called as Ash3D,  states that though there is a explosion in yellow states that fallout would be huge difference in the fall out then what was expected earlier. The eruption makes its own winds that can overcome the prevailing westerlies that normally dominate weather patterns in United States.

The chances of a volcanic eruption are very low in this given year for sure but still all required measures and frequently checks are being done by the US Geological survey & also continue studies are done on the thickness & distribution of ash deposits if yellow stone erupts

The distribution of ash has a different pattern than smaller eruptions creating an umbrella cloud that can push ash more than a thousand km upwind Yellowstone hasn’t erupted for 70,000 years, so it’s going to take some impressive earthquakes and ground uplift to get things started. And which will be definitely monitored before hand with all there equipments placed in the park .  In Case of emergency experts recommend keeping extra supplies on hand and creating a family emergency communication plan. Beyond that, there is no reason to specifically prepare for an eruptive event at Yellowstone, which remains very unlikely.

Iceland proclaims Volcano Eruption area safe for Air Travel.

August 31, 2014 By Kenneth Scott Leave a Comment

The volcano eruption that began on Friday had stopped now. The eruption compelled Icelandic Meteorological office to move its warning level to red.

Today, Icelandic Meteorological office concluded that the eruption is no more hazardous for any flight, whether its of low range or high.

National Crisis Coordination Centre stated that crack that started at midnight at Holuhraun lava north of Vatnajokull glacier came to an end at nearly 0400 UTC (GMT). The fissure has been approximately  600 meters long and is located 5 Km north of the Dyngjujokull glacier in a north Vatnajokull glacier.

Although the seismic activity will persist in that region

Iceland’s largest volcanic system cuts a 190-km (120-mile) long and up to 25-km (15 mile) wide path athwart the North Atlantic Island. The volcanic system has been struck by thousands of earthquakes since last two weeks. Consequently, scientists were already  red alert for the fear of any outbreak.

Reykjavik’s Met Office stated that the eruption wrapped few parts of the Bardabunga system. However, there were no mark of ashes like that from the Eyjafjallajokull eruption which occurred in 2010.

Though the menaces of an ash cloud are high in case any of the sub glacier also erupts.  Iceland authorities for some hours changed the aviation warning level to red which is conceived as the highest on the scale.

Martin Hensch,  a Met office seismologist informed that the eruption was at the top of a magma dyke 40 km from the main Bardarbunga crater.

According to Nick Petford, a vulcanology expert at the University of Northampton usually the fissure eruptions are massive and die in a span of days. Nevertheless, there could be an exceptional case.

Iceland Aviation on Red Alert after New Volcano Eruption

August 31, 2014 By Cristopher Hall Leave a Comment

Iceland on Friday issued red alert after lava fountains were found dancing along an extended volcanic fissure near the Bardarbunga volcano system on Sunday.

The small eruption prompted the authorities to raise the aviation warning to the highest level, signaling closure of the surrounding airspace.

Making an statement in this regard, the National Crisis Coordination Center said, “The Icelandic Met Office has raised the aviation color code over the eruption site to red and the Icelandic Air Traffic Control has closed down the air space from the earth up to 18,000 feet.”

 

On a five-color scale, red is considered to the maximum alert level. It suggests that an eruption is impending and have a risk of ash.

The authorities also confirmed that no sign of ash were found following the small eruption that could have potential to affect the air travel in Europe.

“No volcanic ash has been detected with the radar system at the moment. Seismic eruption tremor is low indicating effusive eruption without significant explosive activity,” the National Crisis Coordination Center said.

The meteorological agency of the country said that the authorities are doing close monitoring over the eruption in the Holuhraun lava field, which is located about five kilometers north of the Dyngjujoekull glacier which covers part of Bardarbunga system.

According to the Reykjavik’s Meteorological Office, a small eruption began in a lava field just after midnight local time. The experts said that an ash cloud is at highest risk during a sub-glacial eruption.

According to the met department, the fissure eruption on Sunday was more powerful than the one occurred on Friday. But the experts stressed that the condition is not worrisome as it is unlikely to result into the aviation chaos that occurred following the 2010 Eyjafjallajokull volcanic eruption.

In April 2010, an eruption at the Eyjafjallajokull volcano led to the cancellation of more than 100,000 flights due to the official closure of Europe’s air space, wreaking havoc on millions of travelers.

Report: Apple would not ship iWatch Until 2015

August 30, 2014 By Karen Jackson Leave a Comment

Apple has verified the news related to its event of 9thSeptember. Undoubtedly, this confirmation announcement has raised the level of eagerness what the company will reveal that day.

Everyone knows that iPhone 6 that comes with an option of  4.7 inches and 5.5 will be launched at that event.  People are more curious about the release of Apple wearable.

As per the reports of Re/code the product would merely be declared at that event. The company has no intention of its shipping until next year.

This signifies that this device would miss the holiday shopping season.  It is rather customary for the products of iPhone that the company generally ship its product several months after its launch. The firm released its original iPhone six months after its disclosure in 2007. Whereas, the original iPad was shipped after three months of its exposure in 2010.

 

An Apple spokesman refused to make any comment regarding the shipment of iWatch.

However, the analysts are hopeful that this new iPhone will increase the revenue of the company up to 20 percent. As per the Friday reports, Apple has been already up to $102.56 in trading

Google’s Project Wing and Secret of Drone Delivery Programs

August 29, 2014 By Deborah Campbell Leave a Comment

Google is a part of project wing which makes big technical leaps such as self-driving cars and Google Class. Actual drone delivery is the part of the Google. Another surprising thing is that project wing aims to determine its delivery by UAV which is feasible. Some features have also been focused to handle potential issues such as crashes and collisions. Now, for first time Google has taken to the skies and purchased a drone company. It is also working with project loons and tests the use of high-altitude balloons in order to bring the connections in remote areas. Makani Company developed airborne wind turbines between 80 and 350 meters in the air.

Approximately, drones fly within a range of 130-195 feet. The drone’s development by Google’s laboratory Google X begins the tests of self-flying vehicles in mid of the August.  Google has reviewed the tests in California and prepare the set of adventures but in press materials final drones programmed routes in order to deal with unprepared obstacles to have a strong squall of wind.

 

Company has seen a lot of potential in drones and delivers goods rapidly to form a little intervention from humans. Astro Teller, who is the director of lab illustrate that Mountain View has literally patted Roy on the knee. After two years, the aim becomes so simple to figure out the idea of drone delivery that has made some sense to work on. Google pursue to create a reliable service and build flexible programmed because of drone package. Teller has found a replacement for automated flying machine. Google now already worked with dozen of project to form a new vehicle to deliver its mechanism. Google has entered in the debate where their regulators have started working with the company. The tiny winch from a robot hovering in the air dropped many packages from the sky. It quite sounds crazy but tiny drones send packages flying in the air.

Google wants to believe that drone is a part of natural progression to deliver things faster and faster. Perhaps, Google has helped to acquire eight robotics companies with high altitude and solar drone makers. In 2011, Astro Teller has seen many new ideas to make an observation concerning the world.

Hacker Group “Lizard Squad” Targeted Twitch

August 28, 2014 By Nancy Young Leave a Comment

Lizard Squad is a hacking group which tweet about Sony executive’s flight on Sunday. The group is yet free and continue its attempts on other gaming services.
Microsoft Xbox live, Riot Games league of Legends and Blizzard’s Battle.net were the gaming services which Lizard Squad targeted soon after Sony.

Yesterday, Hackers attacked Twitch a live streaming game website. The website hosts thousands of gamers who can livecast their games for an audience of million people. Amazon has offered it a price of $1 billion after seeing its rapid progress.

The attackers compel the users of Twitch to write “Lizard Squad”on their forehead and tweet a picture to them. The answer is rather simple that even FBI needs time. The fearlessness of group shows that they are situated anywhere outside the United States and Iraq since they have already announced that they do not belong to Iraq.

Therefore, The government of the United States needs to coordinate with other countries in order to find more information regarding those hackers. It would certainly take a lot more time as compared to the previous hackers which were present in their own State.

Lizard Squad is both amusing and irritating for the community of gamers. Undoubtedly, the majority of the people feel annoyed by this group, but some of them takes advantage of the name of this group.

Evolution Study of fishes to walk on land

August 28, 2014 By Karen Jackson Leave a Comment

Animals are more capable to adopt a life on land. According to the researchers, evolution of ancient fish switched to live in water about 400 million years ago which is one of the main pivotal moments in the animal kingdom history. Scientists have raised groups of bichir in order to find out how they would be different from bichir raised in the water.

One of the researchers Standen said that fishes plant their legs closer to the body’s midline, lift their heads higher and slip less during that walking cycle. Generally, fish raised on land have more consistent way to walked through their aquatic counterparts. He illustrate that fish behavior was not the only thing that have changed but they use to change their shape in order to support their fins. She experimented on animals and demonstrates that living animal’s make inferences that may happened to other similar animals which have large scale evolutionary transitions. It seems quite clear that induce changes facilitated fish transition to land. These changes acted on the genome over the long period of time. Standen also identify the changes in order to repeat the experiment on fish muscles. She also looked at the changes where the fishes are kept on land for longer periods. The larger changes can only occur if fish remain to be on land for long time.

 

Results revealed that dinosaur eels raised on land with lifted heads, develop and planted their fins, walked more consistently and slipped less as compare to those fishes raised usually in water. Furthermore, scientists have found that muscles and bones of land raised them to change because they have adopted to walk on land. According to many researchers, many changes are identical to species which is considered as fascinating information.

The new shapes of fishes display a flexible response throughout the development that has caused them to observe and act differently. Indirectly, evolution influenced the plasticity where the skeletal traits and new behavioral give the survival benefit that can be more probably pass and survive to confer the developmental plasticity. Plastic responses have subsequent generations that eventually have responses over most of the generations. One of the paleontologists illustrated that plasticity came into play when there is many fossils of dissimilar fishes that have been involved in the water-to-land transition. Nonetheless, it always seemed as one of the main points to what is going to happen with the next generation of land-reared fish.
