Turn your Android phone into a desktop computer

Android phones can be mirrored onto a desktop computer; however, you don’t get a very good experience as they have generally been optimized for mobiles which are touch based. This is where Andromium is looking to change that and make the experience more desktop friendly.




Andromium will turn any Android device into a fully-fledged desktop computer thanks to it giving the user interface of the phone an overhaul to turn it into a desktop with a taskbar. Not only does it allow you to have a taskbar, but also multiple windows on the screen at the same time. You no longer have to make do with having a mobile version of the web browser, you can now browse websites with full desktop rendering as the system comes with its own web browser.
To turn your phone into a desktop computer you just have to download the Andromium app and purchase the dock. This allows you to hook the dock to the monitor on your desktop with a HDMI cable and you have yourself your own desktop PC. You can also work on the mobile PC with a mouse and keyboard too, with the phone acting as the computer. The dock has a clean and sleek design while being ergonomic and has three USB ports on it to ensure there is a socket for everything you need. The dock will also charge the device while it is being used and there is a cover for it to use when travelling.






The Andromium system will even allow you to use the phones functions in full while at the same time turning it into a desktop computer. So you can use the phone to make and receive calls along with SMS messages and receive push notifications. Of course, mobile apps are not optimized for windows that are desktop sized, but the company has given developers the SDK so that they can add in code to their apps to make them work on the Andromium system.
The company behind the Andromium system have designed it to be compatible with the Samsung Galaxy S series of devices along with the Samsung Galaxy Note, running on Android 4.4.2 and above. They plan on adding in support for other phones, such as the HTC One M8, the LG G3, Nexus 6 and One Plus One through Chromecast.


At the moment the Andromium system is being offered on Kickstarter with pledges of $35 for reservation of a unit.

World's Most Powerful Personal Computer!!!

The CoreMC computer can be equipped with up to dual Xeon 8-core processors (16-cores total), 768GB of RAM, 21TB of hard drive storage, video cards and audio interfaces. Based on the Windows 8 (64-bit) operating system, CoreMC is capable of running any Windows compatible software for music production, HD video editing or even gaming.

Each CoreMC is housed in a black brushed aluminum chassis equipped with four oversized 140mm fans providing ample airflow, yet able to rotate at reduced speeds for near silent operation. A front name plate is part of the design and acts as a baffle to further reduce operational noise. Extras include removable dust filters to keep the interior of the system clean, shock mounting for hard drives and optical drives to reduce noise and vibration, and anti-vibration pads for the power supply. For those needing to overclock the system, four coolant hose ports are provided on the rear of the chassis with star grommets.

Rack versions of the CoreMC are available in a compact 4U (15.25" depth) chassis as well as a full size version with redundant power supplies.

3Doodler

3-D printing has been around for quite some time now, but the 3Doodler is the world’s first 3-D printing pen. This unique gadget makes 3-D printing portable. Created by Peter Dilworth and Maxwell Bogue of WobbleWorks LLC, the 3Doodler uses Poly-Lactic Acid (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) to create three-dimensional pictures. The pen melts the plastic (available in different colors) and once it is cooled it forms a solid 3-D strucutre.

New Gadget Can Turn Any HDTV Into A Desktop Computer

It was announced this week at the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that Intel is ready to ship its new device that is capable of turning an ordinary HDTV into a functional desktop computer. Intel’s Compute Stick plugs right into the HDMI port on your TV, instantly turning it into a system running Windows 8.1 for only $149.

New Type Of Computer Capable Of Calculating 640TBs Of Data In One Billionth Of A Second, Could Revolutionize Computing

Let me introduce The Machine- HP’s latest invention that could revolutionize the computing world. According to HP, The Machine is not a server, work station, PC, device or phone but an amalgamation of all these things. It’s designed to be able to cope with the masses of data produced from the Internet of Things, which is the concept of a future network designed to connect a variety of objects and gadgets.

In order to handle this flurry of information it uses clusters of specialized cores as opposed to a small number of generalized cores. The whole thing is connected together using silicon photonics instead of traditional copper wires, boosting the speed of the system whilst reducing energy requirements. Furthermore, the technology features memristors which are resistors that are able to store information even after power loss.

The result is a system six times more powerful than existing servers that requireseighty times less energy. According to HP, The Machine can manage 160 petabytes of data in a mere 250 nanoseconds. And, what’s more, this isn’t just for huge supercomputers- it could be used in smaller devices such as smartphones and laptops. During a keynote speech given at Discover, chief technology officer Martin Fink explained that if the technology was scaled down, smartphones could be fabricated with 100 terabytes of memory.

HP envisages a variety of future applications for this technology in numerous different settings, from business to medicine. For example, it could be possible for doctors to compare your symptoms or DNA with patients across the globe in an instant and without breaching privacy, improving health outcomes.

While this is an exciting development, unfortunately for us HP isn’t expecting to have samples until 2015 and the first devices equipped with The Machine won’t surface until 2018.

Digital Pen

This digital pen is a computer invention that transmits writing into digital media.Although touch screen devices represent a movement away from paper, approximately eighty-percent of businesses still use paper based forms.Many professions hand-write their notes, tables, diagrams and drawings instead of using tablets or other devices.The computer pen is comparable to a regular ink pen (even uses refillable ink) that writes on regular paper, except it has an optical reader that records motion, images and coordinates. The recorded data is then transmitted to a computer via a wireless transmitter.You can browse and edit your written notes, diagrams, tables, or drawings.Another useful feature of this computer invention is that hand-written digital files can be easily converted into text fonts for use in word documents or emails.Digital pen technology was first developed by the Swedish inventor and entrepreneur Christer Fåhraues.

Your smartphone can detect cosmic rays

Researchers from University of California have tested that a smart phone camera can detect high energy photons and                                                                                   particles of the sort produced by cosmic rays.

NEW YORK: Can your smart phone detect very high-energy cosmic rays that hit the Earth from space? Yes, say physicists.
Researchers from University of California have tested that a smart phone camera can detect high energy photons and particles of the sort produced by cosmic rays.
Testing with radioactive isotopes of .radium, cobalt, and cesium showed that the detector easily picked up gamma rays.

They also put a phone inside a lead box and showed that they could detect high energy particles.

Finally, researchers took a phone up on a commercial flight and were able to obtain a particle track across the detector.

The project is called CRAYFIS (Cosmic RAYS Found In Smartphones).

When your phone is inactive and plugged in for charging, CRAYFIS monitors the camera, looking for signs of high-energy items striking the detector, arstechnica website reported.

According to researchers, if they can get 1,000 active cell phones within a square kilometer area, they will be able to detect nearly all of the high energy cosmic rays that strike the atmosphere.
