Segway Advanced Personal Robot

Segways were already a little ridiculous, but now they have a robotic face on them—but hey, no CES is complete without some old fashioned robotics. This new product from Segway is somewhere between a personal assistant and a mode of transportation, which isn’t the craziest thing in the world when you think about it. Much of the potential behind such a product lies behind what developers will do with its open SDK. Here’s to hoping for a robot that isn’t a vacuum cleaner that could actually be useful around the house! 

ONE PART HOVERBOARD, one part robot butler. Three parts super adorable. The Segway Advanced Personal Robot will hide away while you ride on its two wheels, then can pop out and carry your groceries or answer your doorbell. You can attach arms or other appendages, and turn the robot into basically anything you want. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich has five, apparently, but we’d take just one.


Segway, Intel, and Xiaomi are working together to build not just one rideable robot, but many. The Advanced Personal Robot is a long-term plan for the three companies, which plan to work with developers all over the world to make the robot respond to voice commands, see in the dark, and generally become both better and more adorable. When a rideable could also be your best friend and personal assistant, why would it ever be just a rideable anymore? It may not hover, but this is the coolest hoverboard we’ve seen in a while.

GOOGLE ANDROID WEAR

THE WEARABLE OPERATING SYSTEM

Every major hardware manufacturer is clamoring for its share of the smartwatch action. This year alone, Motorola, LG, and Apple joined the fray, yet a true leader in wearables has yet to emerge. Instead of stepping into the hardware battle, Google leveraged what it knows best: code. In the past, each smartwatch ran its own proprietary operating system (OS), limiting the number of apps and functionality available to users. Android Wear gives Google an edge on the competition by standardizing the operating system across most manufacturers—much like Android did with its smartphone OS seven years ago. A unified OS means developers can create thousands of apps that easily sync with Android devices. With them, users will be able to place calls, control Netflix and other media players, track steps, and navigate an unfamiliar route, all from a tiny screen on the wrist. Oh, yes, and they’ll be able to tell the time too. Android

Scientists 'Visits' Mars with Augmented Reality: NASA EXHIBIT LETS YOU VIRTUALLY TOUR MARS

In order to bridge the decade-plus gap between the present and Mars (and probably to drum up public support for crewed Mars missions), NASA is unveiling Destination: Mars, a virtual reality-heavy exhibit opening this summer at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

At the exhibit, a visitor will wear Microsoft's augmented reality headset, the Hololens, to 'visit' Mars. Once inside the virtual world, visitors will be treated to a guided tour of the surface, with guides Erisa Hines, who drives the Mars Curiosity Rover, and astronaut Buzz Aldrin. NASA describes the exhibit as 'mixed reality' so there will be some physical elements stirred in to the virtual experience.

Hines and other NASA scientists have gotten to use this kind of technology already. NASA scientists like Abigail Fraeman, another Curiosity researcher, use a program called OnSight that takes images collected by the rover and creates a virtual reality version of Mars to explore.

"OnSight makes the whole process of analyzing the data feel a lot more natural to me," Fraeman said. "It really gives me the sense that I'm in the field when I put it on. Thinking about Martian geology is a lot more intuitive when I can stand in the scene and walk around the way I would if I were in the field."

"We may not be able to actually go to Mars yet, but we can go there virtually," said Parker Abercrombie, a software engineer at JPL who investigates different ways that software can enable augmented exploration.

And because the software was created using actual observations, researchers will be able to conduct valuable science, even while being more than 140 million miles (225 million kilometers) away. For instance, scientists could scale an escarpment to survey the view from that vantage point, or get on their hands and knees for a close-up view of the planet's rocky terrain.

"What's really exciting about this is [that] what we're looking at is a reconstruction of Mars from real data sent from the Curiosity rover," Abercrombie said. "This isn't an artist's conception of what Mars looks like. This is actually what Mars looks like."

Additionally, because Curiosity's mission is ongoing, JPL engineers will be able to make modifications based on the latest data.

"As the rover drives and takes more pictures, our reconstructions are constantly being updated and improved," Abercrombie said.

This holographic technology is also helping NASA build new spacecraft and rovers. At JPL, the HoloLens is being used to design the agency's next Mars rover, which is slated to launch in 2020. By projecting a virtual model of the rover in 3D space, engineers can get close-up views of how the various components fit together, add or move parts around easily, and even walk right through the model to see its inner workings. [Our sister site, Tom's Guide, put together a guide on the best VR headsets on the market right now.]

"It allows us to attain perspectives that are difficult, or even impossible, to attain with a physical model," Valderrama said. "It brings them out into the world so that our engineers can begin to reason and communicate about the models long before any physical artifact exists."

A close look at Microsoft’s new Ink Workspace

Ink Workspace is really more of an Ink Hub

The Ink Workspace is a menu of ink-related apps and features you can access from the taskbar or by clicking a button on your stylus. Not nearly as interesting or useful as the Air Command menu on Samsung’s stylus-equipped models, but certainly a nice start. The Workspace menu doesn’t appear to be configurable (at least not yet), so it’s mostly only useful if you want to get to Microsoft’s new Sketchpad or Screen Sketch apps. You also get one-click access to an updated version of Sticky Notes, and you can search the Windows Store for pen-enabled apps. That would be more useful if Microsoft’s new apps were more useful

Windows has always been at the forefront of making human–computing interaction more natural, and with the digital pen in mind, we have delivered powerful features in Windows 10 such as Web Notes on Microsoft Edge and all the pen goodness we have built right into OneNote. However, we still see that for many of our customers, using a pen on Windows can be a complicated place. With the Anniversary Update to Windows 10, we have set out to greatly simplify your pen experience and deliver on the promise of making your digital pen as easy to use as pen and paper. Because your digital pen leaves digital ink, we can go beyond that and give your ink super powers. With digital ink you can get more done, faster, and in a more natural way.

Screen Sketch is another un-needed new app from Microsoft

Microsoft loves to create great new tools and then, just when everyone falls in love with them, start over. The many iterations of photo galleries and Live tools are a perfect example. So is the new Screen Sketch. Microsoft’s Snip is already an excellent, well-behaved, free tool for capturing screens, windows, or areas of a screen. It has good annotation tools, and reasonable sharing and saving options. Simply binding a key (on the stylus or otherwise) to Snip (which is already pretty easy to access) would have been a lot more useful than inventing a new tool with hardly any features. Screen Sketch only works on an entire screen, doesn’t allow saving directly to disk, and requires learning a new interface.

All in all, it’s good to see Microsoft continuing to improve the Active Stylus on the Surface product line. However, after all these years, and all its investment in pen computing (including the excellent handwriting and equation recognition technology in Office), the company is certainly capable of something a lot more exciting and powerful than the current version of the Ink Workspace — which is essentially a couple trivial apps and a shortcut menu, plus some much-needed updates to Settings.

Hackers Charge $130 To Hack a Gmail Account, says report from Dell

Rates for hacking social media websites are also on this report. Hacking a social account like Facebook and Twitter accounts in the United States will cost users over $129. The rates vary when hackers are hired to hack popular social websites based in Russia like VK.ru and Ok.ru.

Hackers can also provide fake identification to the users. You can get a physical counterfeit driver license in the US, UK, Germany & Israel at $173.

Dell reports,“Prices and goods are not the only way sellers are distinguishing themselves. There also continues to be a focus on salesmanship. Compared to the report last year, our security experts noted this time around that many hackers were expanding their working hours to include weekends and even promising to be available 24 hours a day.”

This is the company’s third report and reveals the ups and downs in the prices since 2013. The report also tell’s us about the strategy followed by Russian hackers to ensure customer satisfaction by increasing their working hours and using guarantors.

The report points towards Russian and English underground markets as well and “covers the third quarter of 2015 to the first quarter of 2016 time frame”.

The report also discloses the prices that hackers demand for hacking accounts from various websites, like they presently charge $129 to hack the accounts of popular email providers like Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail. Moreover, they also proceed after corporate email accounts charging about $500 per mailbox.

Hackers charge slightly lesser amount to hack popular Russian email accounts than US Based accounts, like they charge $65 – $103 to hack Russian email accounts. Also, hackers charge $129 for hacking Ukrainian email accounts. Besides hacking email accounts, hackers charge $90 for hacking the IP address of a computer user.

Dell claims that this information was collected by two intelligence analysts from the company’s CISCO Intel team, who reportedly traced hackers on several underground hacker forums across the world.

Windows 10 is Now Having 270 Million Active Users

Microsoft latest operating system is now 270 Million Active users strong. It was launched 8 months ago, the software giant said on Wednesday.

Windows 10 is Now Having 270 Million Active Users

Microsoft’s Executive Vice President, Terry Myerson announced the number at Microsoft yearly gathering for developers in San Francisco. Windows 10 is proving to be getting more popular than its predecessor Windows 8.

“In the eight months since launch, Windows 10 is off to the fastest start in Windows history, with over 270 million active devices, outpacing Windows 7 in the same timeframe by 145%. People are spending more time on Windows than ever before – over 75 billion hours – with the highest customer satisfaction of any version of Windows” states Microsoft Blog.



Microsoft Windows 10 is breaking records of its previous operating systems rapidly especially its predecessor. Initially, when Windows 10 was first launched, it recorded 14 Million upgrades in its first day of launch and crossed to 75 Million within first month, 110 Million installs by October and 200 Million Installs by January. Developers are considering to build Universal Windows Platform [UWP] apps for the Windows Store which they expect to get a boost as the install base is quite large of Windows 10 and is still growing rapidly.

The reason for the rapid growth of the Windows 10 is very simple, it was released in July 2015 and made free to users who download it during its first year, however Enterprise customers need to pay for Windows 10.

Myerson said, new upgrade will be released this summer as anniversary upgrade, it will be free for users who are already using Windows 10. Before the launch, he said that his target is to witness 1 Billion devices running on Windows 10 within few years.

Technology research firm IDC is predicting that smartphones running on Windows OS will constitute only 1.6% of the the global market this year, compared to 83% running on Android and 15% running on iOS.

Microsoft is having issues with its wide range of apps which work on Windows Mobile as they straggle behind those on Android and iOS, which makes them less tempting to buyers. However, very few developers are interested to make apps for Windows Devices.

Microsoft during its developer conference also announced that it has also gave an update on its Holo-Lens augmented-reality technology which ships to developers on Monday.

Whatsapp End-To-End Encryption

The Facebook-owned app announced on Tuesday that it has added full end-to-end encryption for all communications. That means all text messages, file transfers and voice calls are scrambled en route between users’ phones so they can’t be intercepted.The news comes after the bitter public fight between the FBI and Apple over encryption. WhatsApp says its latest move makes it impossible for third parties — including government agencies, criminals and the company itself — to peek into users’ conversations within the service.The new end-to-end encryption feature comes with the app’s latest update, and will ensure that only the recipients of messages will be able to access them.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, who were recently involved in an encryption battle with Apple, has revealed its displeasure over Whatsapp’s new feature. 

“WhatsApp and Facebook are great American companies,” FBI General Counsel James A Baker said. “But encryption features like these presents us with a significant problem because criminals and terrorists could get ideas. It also has public safety costs. Folks have to understand that, and figure out how they are going to deal with that. Do they want the public to bear those costs? Do they want the victims of terrorism to bear those costs.” 

NETFLIX PREMIUM FOR LIFETIME

Netflix is a global provider of streaming movies and TV series. Netflix started as an American DVD-by-mail service in 1998, and began streaming in 2007. Netflix expanded with streaming to Canada in 2010 and now serves over 190 countries. Netflix's first widely advertised original series was House of Cards, which debuted in 2013, and Netflix now produces hundreds of hours of original programming around the world. The company was established in 1997 and is headquartered in Los Gatos, California.

US-based Netflix, the world’s leading internet TV network allocated in more than 50 countries with more than 50 million subscribers globally, is finally here and ready to launch down under. Through the use of internet connection, Netflix subscribers are able to stream and instantly watch a selection of movies and TV shows in standard definition, high definition or even 4K ultra high-definition.

With a broadband connection, subscribers are able to watch whatever they like, whenever they like, on any Netflix ready device of their choice. Users are able to watch on one device, pause and then continue watching on another device at home or on the go. With the launch, Netflix announced that the service would be available on “smart TVs, tablets and smartphones, computers and a range of internet-capable game consoles and set-top boxes”.

Australians are offered a one-month free trial, which then moves to Netflix’s three pricing plans with no lock-in contracts, cancel-at-anytime peace of mind. The network giants three pricing plans for Australians leaked on Reddit indicated prices which start at $8.99 a month to watch on one screen at a time in standard definition, $11.99 a month to watch on two screens at time in HD and the third plan at $14.99 a month to watch on four screens at a time in HD and Ultra HD. Pricing in Australia compared to the US is considered to be fair, where the three plans in the US start off at US$7.99 or a single stream in standard definition, $8.99 for the two-stream service in HD and $11.99 for the four-stream service in HD and ultra HD.
