Virtual Reality

Image
Literally defined, Virtual Reality (VR) is an unreal experience as close to reality as possible. This refers to a specific type of reality emulation. We, as humans, are accustomed to heavily relying on our five sensory organs to sense and perceive practically everything we need to know about this world. Whereas, the truth is that the human perception and understanding requires a lot more than these basic sensory inputs. These sensory inputs then undergo special processing until our brain extracts the useful information from it and guides us to react and adapt accordingly.   Like every other natural creation that exists in this world, scientists have tried to re-create this mental environment in a synthetic computer-controlled form. Virtual Reality is that particular effort which refers to computer technologies using virtual reality headsets to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that replicate a real environment or create an imaginary setting. Furthermore, VR a

The New Macbook pro

Image
The new MacBook Pro (Flagship Killer) is the newest heartthrob in town! This latest addition to the MacBook series took about four years to come into form and is a tangible amalgamation of some of the finest, groundbreaking ideas which is why it is  unarguably the best until now.  It’s much faster with up to 130% faster graphics and up to 100% faster flash storage, more powerful than ever before with up to 3.8GHz Turbo Processing and accommodates up to 10 hours of battery life. As if this wasn’t enough, the MacBook pro feels incredibly light, especially the 13-inch model. It’s just 14.9mm thin, which is 18 per cent less than last time, and comes in at three pounds making it really convenient to carry around and use. Moreover, the graphics and display have been turned up a notch too making it the brightest, most colorful Mac notebook display ever and that isn’t even the best part! The most remarkable and completely unprecedented feature of the MacBook pro is the Touch Bar — a M

The most expensive DSLR!

Image
From amongst all the available DSLRs, if I were to choose on as my absolute favourite and must-have is the Hasselblad H4D 200MS. This DSLR is truly the latest and greatest in high end cameras. It possess the latest sensor feature that allows the user to capture six shots at a time, you can capture images of all types providing absolutely stunning images . Furthermore it offers the capability to shoot masterful movies and other types of films, helping in the production of some heavy duty productions. Moreover, with a 160 million pixels, the Hasselblad H4D 200MS has extremely high resolution. Coming in at the most expensive camera on our list, the Hasselblad H4D 200MS is $45,000. Just shy of $50,000, the Hasselblad H4D 200MS claims the title of most expensive camera ever. The sad part is that as much I love this camera and would love to have it, being so top-notch it is very much out of my league. However, on the bright side, with such intense competition on the rise, the camera ma

iOS vs Android

Image
  One of the most interesting debates and competitions in today’s world of IT is between Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS. Android and iOS are operating systems used primarily in mobile technology, such as smartphones and tablets . Android, which is Linux-based and partly open source, is more PC-like than iOS, in that its interface and basic features are generally more customizable from top to bottom. However, iOS' uniform design elements are sometimes seen as being more user-friendly. Only devices created by Apple support the iOS operating system, however several devices including Motorola, Samsung, Huawei, HTC, LG, Nexus etc.  The programming languages incorporated in Android are C, C++ and Java whereas iOS was created using C, C++ and Objective C. The two major points of conflict in this debate are: A) the user-friendliness and B) the security of both the OS’s. The user-friendliness rating of both OS’s is matter of opinion as both provided same amount of facilities an

SSD v.s HDD

Image
A wave of revolution has been introduced into the world of technology with the advent of the SSD which is now rapidly replacing HDD (Hard disk drive). A SSD is a solid state drive also known as a solid state disk, which in simpler terms is a  solid-state storage  device that uses  integrated circuit  assemblies as  memory  to store data  persistently . SSD technology primarily uses electronic interfaces compatible with traditional  block  input/output (I/O)  hard disk drives  (HDDs), which permit simple replacements in common applications.  Now the SSD trumps the HDD for several obvious reasons which are mainly the upgraded features in its design. Firstly, the HDD contains magnetic rotating platters whereas the SSD is solid NAND flash-based. Secondly, although the SSD is only slightly lesser in density as compared to the HDD, the difference in their weights is far more significant. Thirdly, the SSD shows much higher performance than HDD as it reads data at a speed of 100MB/s and

PHONEBLOKS A Phone Worth Keeping

Image
The latest project which is being given a great deal of attention and dedicated efforts by the Motorola Company is the brainchild of Dave Hakkens, “Phonebloks”. Phonebloks, a concept phone that is built from detachable bloks that allows a user to switch out components as and when they want, looks set to become a reality. Phonebloks creator Hakkens, describes his design as a “phone worth keeping”. A phone that you can easily upgrade, repair and customize — with the ability to upgrade piece by piece and never experience obsolescence again. As new and better bloks are developed you simply swap out the component block on your phone and exchange it with the new one. You could also personalize your phone in a manner of prioritizing between apps and features for instance if you don’t feel the need for a camera in your phone then you could remove it and use a bigger battery block instead.  Motorola believe in empowering its users to be able to choose what their phone does, how it
