Motrola’s Moto 360 smartwatch is one of the most preferred products of the year 2014. The most appreciable thing about this smart watch is its round face, which usually people expect with a watch. It has an extremely fine appearance which is quite appealing.

Nonetheless, the company made a terrible mistake with its tactics since the product is not alone. Motrola launched this product at the start of the year by offering  glimpses of the product. Moto 360 remained in the power of the wearable market even before it is released. The G Watch of LG and Galaxy Gear live of Sony launched at the same time at the Google I/O developer conference

Customers were still anticipating for the Moto 360 despite the fact that they had Android Wear available in the market. If the company has introduced this watch at the Google I/O  developer conference, then certainly the result would have been really different. It would have gained more popularity than LG and Samsung smart watches.

However, the company is now all geared up for the launch of Moto 360 on the 4^th of September. The prospect of the success of this watch is a bit low now since the market is quite full of wearables.

G Watch R of LG will unleash on the same week and it also possesses a round face like Moto 360.  The appearance of this device has a similar intensity of  attractions like Moto 360. The smartwatches of LG functions just like Andoid wear of Motrola. Therefore, now everything depends on the price and looks of the two products.

Nowadays, what we people need is reliability that includes speed of streaming, downloading and buffering and for that we must need a good Internet connection. Recent research proven that the speed of the Internet has been increased by 10% than previous year.

The research that was done for the Virginia obtained the top position in that survey having the fastest Internet service with 13.7 megabits p/s. Whereas Alaska remained at the lowest spot with <= 7.0 mb per second.

When we talk about the most speedy connection in the world, South Korea is the first one with the speed of over 23.6 MBs per second.

Now if we run in depth, there are few things that are common in five states. All those areas with fastest internet are small in size and when it comes to the logic, this thing makes it much easier to do the wiring stuffs than maintaining the larger ones.

List of the states with fastest Internet;
Virginia and Massachusetts with Delaware: 13.1 mbps
Rhode Island: 12.9
Washington D.C: 12.8
Washington State: 12.5

And the low runner includes;
Alaska, Montana and Kentucky: 7.3 mbps
West Virginia: 7.5
New York: 11.5
California: 10.9
Texas: 9.4

Now if we look deeper, one of the most popular states such as New York are under the list of low runner with the speed of 11.5 MBps is ranked at 14th spot out of dozens.

The Report stated, “In contr?st to th? ov?rwh?lmingly n?g?tiv? n?tur? of th? qu?rt?rly ch?ng?s, y??r-ov?r-y??r ch?ng?s in ?v?r?g? p??k conn?ction sp??ds w?r? compl?t?ly positiv?, ?nd r?th?r strong, ?mong th? top 10 st?t?s.

Multitudes of bones have been discovered by scientists excavating an ancient Wyoming sinkhole containing a rare trove of fossils of animals from the Ice Age including bones of animals such as the American Cheetah. The Natural Trap Cave at the base of the Bighorn Mountains in north central Wyoming was initially discovered in the 1970s.

Julie Meachen, paleontologist from Des Moines University is leading the exploration of the cave since its discovery.

After extensive excavation around 200 large bones of animals like horses that roamed North America from 12,000 to 23,000 years ago were uncovered. Numerous micro-fossils of creatures like birds, lizards and snakes were also discovered.

Meachen said, after the first of the three planned annual digs which ended on Friday, “ We found evidence of bison, a bit of gray wolf and quite a lot of cheetah and horse.” The particular value and abundance of fossils in the cave is grounded in the fact that the cave was difficult to stop which lead to animals falling 85 feet to their deaths, they were surprisingly well-preserved by the cold and damp conditions. It is expected that the new fossils will help provide a deeper insight about the climate, diet, and genetic diversity of North American creatures that disappeared around 10,000 years ago during the Ice Age.

Amazon’s streaming box, Kindle Fire TV, is going to launch in UK certainly in the month of October. Kindle Fire TV is the device, which permits user to access on-demand TV, apps and smart phone content as well as games, debuted in the US in April. As reported by the dailymail , this device will compete with the Apple TV box and Google’s Chromebox, but the tech gurus say that none of the present TV boxes give customers what they really want. However, Kindle Fire TV is here to do this.

Amazon states that the Kindle Fire TV is especially designed to offer users access to films, photos, music and games right away, sitting in the living room. The Kindle Fire TV users would be able to access Netflix and Prime Instant Videos, Sky News, YouTube along with the music services offered by Amazon Music, Spotify and TuneIn.

Kindle Fire TV’s voice search offers the user to speak the name of the film, TV show or actor, for instance into their remote to find a film. Amazon streaming box integrates with a contemporary function named ASAP (Advanced Streaming and Prediction). It will suggest films and TV shows that people will want to watch and buffers them for playback. You don’t need to type in the alphabetical grid, the exclusive ASAP feature forecasts the show you want to see. Kindle Fire TV offers X-ray feature for film buffs and the user can also see information about the film cast and crew as well as movie trivia as reported by dailymail.

 

The newest multiplayer version of the popular Flappy Bird app will also be exclusively accessible to Kindle Fire TV users. According to the sources, at the launch of Kindle Fire TV, there would be hundreds of high-quality, low-cost games like Minecraft, Asphalt 8, NBA 2K14, and The Walking Dead available with the average price of £1.07.

Amazon’s Fire TV consists of a quad-core processor with three times the processing power of Apple TV and four times the memory of Apple and Google’s offerings.  However, it’s faster and more fluid as compared to other such products available in the market. Moreover, the little box offers 1080p HD video and supports Dolby Digital and surrounds sound. It measures just 1.8cm thick and comes with a smart remote.

Apple Insider revealed, Apple has registered a comprehensive application that explains a Siri like Desktop that can function on the voice recognition quality or simply can execute on speech command. It means that all the voice or text could be easily converted into required function. This Desktop Siri will understand context based commands.

Well, it’s not new that the desktops don’t support voice command application but it has been a third party application on Linux and Windows operating systems till now. If apple extends Siri to Mac, then it will be the first discovery of an operating system already having a voice assistant without the aid of any third party application. Apple has been striving to develop Siri to the extent that it can understand any accents and commands, so it can be expected to perform well after reaching the Mac OS.

 

Someone could easily see the great functionality of this feature of voice recognition commands especially for the people who can’t use their hands for typing or are unable to use the mouse. Though wonderful feature it is , there are certain tasks which still requires hands to be operated like editing photos, editing videos. Other useful tasks Siri can do is to duplicate or combine the file with another file, organize, sort file in a particular folder.  A user can ask for a new setting in his email or can put on hold on some files which are supposed to be treated for later use. One of the other features includes multi tasking which means till now we could open different applications but working on it simultaneously was not possible but with voice command someone can do the task in one app while commanding the other app to perform the other one.

Apple already threw the news of launching latest version of Mac OS- OS X Yosemite in WWDC this year. There are chances that Apple might stands out this voice assistant in upcoming version or may declare its launching in the final version of OS X Yosemite.

Rosetta took a ten year journey from its launch pad to the comet 67P. It covered vast distances which took the spacecraft by planets and asteroids. Its fascinating to imagine that in this time, Rosetta passed Earth three times and Mars once. This was obviously calculated and planned by the experts, so that the spacecraft could receive gravitational boosts in its speeds as it passed the planets, otherwise the spacecraft was too heavy to be dispatched to the Comet directly.

The spacecraft was launched from French Guiana on March 2, 2004, through a powerful European built Ariane 5 rocket. The mission planners had devised a path for Rosetta to fly by earth in March 2005 then by Mars in February 2007. The aircraft was also put into hibernation in June 2011 to conserve power. It was aroused from its sleep in January to equip itself for its arrival on August 6th.

 

This mission is perhaps one of the most complex and fascinating missions in space exploration history and it is hoped that it will reveal many unsolved mysteries regarding life on earth, possible life on other planets and shed some more light on the nature of comets and unexplained phenomenon associated with them.
