Till now you could just talk wirelessly through your cell phones. But believe it or not, in the near future you would be charging your phone wirelessly too. Charging your phone is too boring. But what if you just had to slide your phone next to your notebook and it
Even if healthcare is a right for all citizens of India but still public medical facilities fail to reach many citizens due to doctor and staff absenteeism and the people are deprived of accessing their legally-entitled care. Now, a non-profit society has created a system that uses mobile phones to keep track
Needle-less technology in the medical field is not new but till now it was using compressed air to inject the medicine. But now a team of researchers from MIT has developed a technology which uses magnetic energy rather than using gas cartridges. It uses a “Lorentz-force actuator” (a small, powerful magnet surrounded by
We hear tech-myths all the time, and we even spread to our friends—but most of these are just a waste of time and in some cases, they can actually harm your gadgets too. Here are some of the worst offenders. 10. Better Hardware Means Better Gadgets If you are thinking to
Android tablet owners may have opted for their device over an iPad due to support for widgets, but a new home screen app called Chameleon is like widgets on steroids. And Chameleon’s developers are using Kickstarter to sell their app before it’s even released: A $5 backing will get you a
Hacker group Anonymous has announced it has taken down India’s Supreme Court and All India Congress websites. Anonymous announced the attack via Twitter, claiming the reason is “Internet censorship” and suggesting India should “install” a new government. Both websites are unavailable at the time of this writing. Namaste #India, your time has come to trash
Researchers are putting viruses to work in the lab, using them to build tiny devices that gather energy from mechanical forces, like the press of a finger, to run a small liquid-crystal display. “More research is needed, but our work is a promising first step toward the development of personal
By far one of the greatest challenges of sign language has been to translate it for everyday folk that wouldn’t know where to begin a conversation with the deaf. Cornell University engineering students Ranjay Krishna, Seonwoo Lee and Si Ping Wang — along with some help from Jonathan Lang — used their final project time this past semester
Teleportation, sci-fi as it sounds, is actually not fictional or even new; two years ago, Chinese physicists broke the then-current record for quantum teleportation by teleporting photons over 10 miles. But a new effort from that same team demolishes that record, beaming the photons over 97 kilometers. The physicists, working from
Facebook announces its new App Center to be accessible soon. The App Center will give developers an additional way to grow their apps and creates opportunities for more types of apps to be successful. In the coming weeks, the App Center would be accessible on the web and in the iOS
Earlier Blueseed came up with the idea to create a seaborne startup community in international waters off the coast of northern California. A new report released by the company says it has 133 tech startups on board to move their operations offshore when it launches next year. The idea is to create a place that requires
Researchers from the University of Leeds, UK and Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology are say that magnetic bacteria can be used to create tiny computing components, or even the biological computers in the future. The bacterium is known as Magnetospirilllum magneticum which is a naturally occurring microorganism that lives in water. It uses
Till now people just played on XBox Kinect using their physical gestures, but now they can even control their PC’s with their physical gestures. But unlike Kinect this new technology doesn’t uses any cameras!!!!!!!!! Rather it uses “inaudible sound waves” to detect your gestures. This new technology is known as
Recently, we noticed that 3G data rates have gone cheaper though the sites have not yet been updates with new data plans. Now 3G is like “4” times costlier than the same 2G plan. Airtel recently updated its 3G data rates, now you can get 500Mb data in just Rs200
In a move that would hurt mobile operators providing 3G services, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has asked these operators to terminate their roaming agreements, which were in violation of licence norms. Backed by similar observations made by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and the Law Ministry, Communications
With Metro rail services coming up across the country, Delhi Metro has shown the need for engineers specially qualified in this technology and has even written to Human Resources Development (HRD) Ministry to launch such courses in the IITs. E Sreedharan, managing director of Delhi Metro, said the post-graduate courses
The precursor of StuxNet is here “Duqu”, and even before the world could trace it , the virus’s footprints are all gone. The new threat, dubbed W32.Duqu, is a remote access Trojan (RAT) that appears to have been written by the authors of Stuxnet, or at least by someone who
Worm colonies can be established on space stations without the need for researchers to tend to them, which could help scientists understand the effects of weightlessness and high radiation levels experienced in space, a new study has found. Since space is no easy amble, humans must first learn to cheaply and
Steve Jobs, American computer entrepreneur and inventor, died on 5th October, 2011, at the age of 56. The co-founder of Apple Inc. was battling with pancreatic cancer, of which he was diagnosed in 2004. He was also the CEO of Apple Inc. before he resigned in August, 2011 stating that
The much-awaited $35 (~Rs1500) computing-cum-access device made for students right from primary schools to universities, will be launched on October 5. “The computer/tablet PC will be launched next month,” HRD Minister Kapil Sibal said at a function. “This is not just a dream, it is a reality,” he added. The device
