In recent years, the use of pictorial smileys and other pictorial expressions in communication has grown to such an extent that the phenomenon has even been subjected to scientific studies (smiley is a rather misleading term, as only a part of these pictures are represented by faces that express emotions). They grow like mushrooms after the rain, but why use generic smiley faces when you can replace their faces with your own. Thanks to the Emojiface application, it is now possible to create a personalized smiley, a smiley in your own image.
It's amazing how we go to foreign places, see tourist locations, natural and cultural attractions, happily take photos, and return home with the same shots as thousands of other tourists, with the same photos that we find tons of on Google. We all photograph the same scenes, from the same place (herd instinct?), which is precisely why they lose their originality, because someone else could easily have taken it and you wouldn't even notice it. Philip Schmitt's Camera Restrict therefore prevents you from taking the same shots as everyone else.
Apple unveiled two new phones at its recent gala event. iPhone 6S and 6S Plus. And while both look practically identical to their 2014 predecessors, they do hide some new features under the surface. However, many of the novelties are new only to Apple users, as they have been circulating in the microcosm of Android for some time. Let's check what Apple has borrowed from Android mobile phones this year.
In the world of blogging, numbers matter a lot. In particular, as far as the number of likes and followers on all social networks related to the blog/blogger is concerned. If you blog or just want more followers on Instagram, Twitter or Snapchat, read on…
Back to the roots. That's the message the To-Do watch, which isn't it, is sending to the world through a Kickstarter campaign. Although its shape completely imitates a wristwatch, its "dial" is actually just a surface where you can write down important things with the help of a liquid chalk marker. Things you have to do, but you can just satisfy your creativity and draw something on it. In the age of smart watches and phones, writing things down seems easier than ever, but technology cannot always be relied on, and a sheet of paper is not always at hand. That's why To-Do is an ideal tool even in the 21st century.
Did you know that the lines on the phone that indicate the signal are like shoe numbers from different shoe manufacturers, and that two lines on a Samsung are not necessarily two lines on an iPhone. Anyway. Poor cell signal is a reality for all cell phone brands, and YouTuber Grant Thompson has put together tips for us to improve it. First of all, we need to find out what the actual strength of our signal is, which the lines in the right corner of the screen do not tell us. What about him? More on that below.
Designer Daan Roosegaarde installed the Smog Free Tower in Rotterdam, the world's largest vacuum cleaner that helps clean the air. But that's not all - the smog that the cleaner pulls up turns the village into jewelry. The seven-meter-tall structure, which cleans the air in its vicinity and offers some respite from dangerous levels of pollution, is also successful on Kickstarter.
At this year's IFA 2015, Philips impressed with the 65-inch 4K AmbiLux UHD TV, which spills the image from the screen onto the background. So now the room comes alive in the spirit of the content happening on the TV even more than with the previous Philips Ambilight system, because instead of LEDs, 9 miniature "dot" projectors are hidden on the back of the TV, which illuminate the background of the TV and practically merge with the picture.
Tim Cook said at Apple's gala event that the iPhone 6S is definitely the most advanced smartphone in the world. And yes, many people will immediately and unconditionally agree with this, others will not be convinced even by the facts. But do these speak in favor of the words of the leading man of Apple or not?
Scoutee is a Slovenian baseball speedometer, which recently started its Kickstarter company, with which it wants to raise 50 thousand US dollars to start production. The start is encouraging, but the ball is round, as they say, so the team must not chill the champagne yet. It is a radar device that measures the speed of the ball used in baseball (it is expected to measure other types of balls in the future), and their target group in the first phase is aspiring baseball players as well as coaches.
The love for turntables just doesn't go away and the sale of gramophone records or. vinyl has been on the rise in recent years. The musical medium from which music is extracted by a needle has become a concept of nostalgia and with the Rocket and Wind product, a walkman for vinyl records or with the Rawman 3000 portable turntable, it will only flare up even more, as it combines the good old Walkman/Diskman format and the most romantic sound carrier.
Asus recently teamed up with Google to produce the Chromebit pocket PC, but now it's ventured into these waters again on its own. His new product is called VivoStick and runs the latest Windows (Windows 10). With this, Asus is keeping pace with the growing market of compact personal computers, and the new product is manufactured using 14-nanometer technology and is consequently extremely energy-efficient.
