An algorithm that turns photos into artistic paintings that imitate the style of great painters

A group of researchers at the German University of Tubingen has developed an algorithm that can produce any photograph in the style of great painters such as Picasso and Van Gogh. Technically, this process is called deep learning, which is a collection of algorithms capable of independent learning without the help of a human. It is about the creation of artificial neural networks, where computer programs work according to the model of the human brain. This type of technology is already used by Google in photo recognition.

Huawei Mate S – Huawei has submitted a bid for the best smartphone in the world

If you thought the best 'S' smartphone was the Samsung Galaxy S6 (Edge or Edge Plus) or the iPhone 6S (Plus), then we have to disappoint you. At least as good, if not better, is the newest member of Huawei's Mate family, the Huawei Mate S, the new flagship of this Chinese smartphone manufacturer, which is increasingly becoming the new Samsung and has thrown down the gauntlet to both the Koreans and Apple with its latest model. In Slovenia, the Mate S will be available in the fall of 2015, and across the pond it will be sold for a little over 700 US dollars.

The Wood Kubb is a wooden PC that is both a piece of technology and a decorative piece of furniture

Even the most beautiful personal computers act as a piece of technology that gives them coolness. Wood Kubb is the complete opposite of computers as we know them. It is a wooden cube that you will gladly plant in a visible place, which is hard to say for personal computers. Most of them therefore hide under the table. Despite its small size, it can do everything the big ones can do. The 12.5 x 12.5 centimeter wooden shell hides an Intel Core i3 or i5 processor. You can pre-order the Wood Kubb on Kickstarter for (calculated) 400 euros.

Obi Worldphone – ex-Applevac smartphones

Former Apple CEO John Sculley, among others to blame for Jobs' temporary dismissal, launched a new smartphone brand called Obi Worldphone. In doing so, he teamed up with Robert Brunner, a former protégé of the company from Cupertino. The idea for the new brand was to create phones that do not make compromises and are made in Silicon Valley with the best components, but their price does not exceed 200 US dollars. And so the flagship Android Obi Worldphone SF1 and the more affordable Obi Worldphone SJ1.5 were born.

Google has a shockingly different new logo

Six simple colorful letters on a blank page. This is Google. One, if not the most powerful brand in the world and a name that has become an independent verb in the dictionary. They recently changed the look of their recognizable logo, but while tectonic shifts are taking place in the background with the restructuring of the company, where the parent company was renamed Alphabet, Google remains faithful to its previous appearance. The web giant left the colors of the letters as they are, but used a new typography where the letters are softer. On the other hand, the icon experienced a more visible change.

Simple tips on how to make your Wi-Fi signal work better

Did you know that Wi-Fi waves are basically radio waves, with a shorter wavelength? Both Wi-Fi and radio waves (also used by mobile phones) fall under electromagnetic waves, but the difference between them is that Wi-Fi ones are significantly shorter (they are only 12 centimeters long compared to radio waves, which are several hundred meters) and therefore cannot extend further than approx. 45 meters. In addition, the signal is weaker with the distance from the wireless router, so we often encounter poor Wi-Fi signal quality. But by following simple instructions, you will get a stronger wireless network signal at zero cost.

Boldr Voyage – a wristwatch that doesn't want to be smart even though it is

The biggest weakness of smartwatches is that they look like smartwatches. It is clear as day that you have a miniature computer on your wrist. The Boldr Voyage, meanwhile, is billed as an intelligent watch rather than a smartwatch, as it's basically a quartz wristwatch that's just smart enough to tell you what's going on with your phone. In addition, it has a six-month autonomy, which is much longer than smartwatches that need a power source every few days or weeks.

In addition to the helmsman, it can carry two more passengers and dive to a depth of 1,700 meters, where previously only documentaries on programs such as National Geographic took us.

The Go-e ONwheel turns a regular bike into an electric bike in seconds

On the market, electric bicycles are growing like mushrooms after the rain, so their price is steadily falling, and their popularity is increasing. But in order to be able to talk about the "e-epidemic" of e-bikes, the price - in addition to weight, the main minus of such bikes - will have to drop a bit. Even before that, customers have a great alternative - ONwheel. A device that turns a regular bike into an e-bike in seconds. The battery and 800-watt brushless electric motor weigh just over 800 grams, which makes ONwheel kill two birds with one stone - weight and price.
