Turn Your Smartphone Into a Microscope for $10
Whether you want to take some crazy macro photography or you just need to do a little laboratory work, Instructables user Yoshinok shows off how to turn your smartphone into a microscope for just $10.
The build here uses some plexiglass, bolts, nuts, a focus lens, and a laser pointer. The actual macro photography comes from using a cheap lens from a laser pointer, and the rest of the build is for the stand so you can actually take steady pictures. The magnification you get is pretty surprising, so head over to Instructables for a bunch of sample photos and the full guide.

Neurocam Analyzes Your Brainwaves to Take Photos For You
Pressing a button is so 20th century. And winking or asking Google Glass to do it for you seems like quite a lot of effort, too. So, for the truly lazy, Neurocam analyzes your brainwaves to work out when you want a picture taking.
Demoed at Japan’s Human Sensing 2013 conference, Neurocam uses brainwave sensors that have cropped up in, to gauge your interest on what’s happening around you. Judging on a scale of 0 to 100—they don’t say exactly how that scale works, sadly—it’ll start recording video when the value tops 60. That footage is then turned into a 5-second GIF, reports DigInfo.
The neurocam arose from the neurowear project, which is involved with items that use brain-waves and bio-sensors, like necomimi, which works using brain-waves. The algorithm for quantifying brain-waves was co-developed with Associate Professor Mitsukura at Keio University.
In the future, the project team aims to create an emotional interface, which could link a range of devices and services to people’s individual thoughts and feelings.

Samsung phones could see magnetic resonance charging in 2014
On the heels of a recent investment into a company that is working on a certain type of wireless charging, Samsung is reportedly set to make the technology available on their devices, starting next year. By including magnetic resonance technology, Samsung could allow your device to charge in just about any scenario.
While all wireless charging operates in the same fashion — creating a field of power — magnetic resonance essentially creates a larger field, allowing for your devices to charge without actually needing to come into contact with anything. Magnetic resonance also has the ability to transmit power through solid objects like tables or walls.
The upside is huge, as it could theoretically create a power grid throughout a room, office, car, or even building. The downside is that the safety implications are unknown, and wireless charging is still searching for a standard. With differing technologies and various companies backing them, the wireless charging situation is still taking shape. Samsung happens to have a stake in just about every consortium, technology, and company around, so they may just be a good barometer for how things will take shape with wireless charging.

Cometdocs for desktop brings the conversion features to Windows. The tool makes document conversion a breeze, thanks to its context menu integration. And besides converting PDF to many other formats, it also lets you easily create PDFs out of other files.
For those unfamiliar with Cometdoc’s web service, it provides 1 GB of free storage space that you can use to host files, in addition to the ability to convert documents between different formats. You need to create an account with the service before you can use all these features. The desktop application also requires you to create a Cometdocs account first, if you don’t have one already. Upon launch, Cometdocs for desktop asks you to sign in with your account; just input your email and password credentials, and click Sign In. The tool then begins running in the background.
Converting PDF files to other formats using Cometdocs is dead simple. It creates a ‘Convert To’ submenu in the context menu of PDF files.

Password Creation Rules and Common Sense Tips
Passwords are essential in the computing world: from using a password to sign in to your operating system to passwords for accounts on the Internet. The following guide looks at the most important rules when it comes to the creation of passwords. If you follow all of them, you make sure that your passwords are secure. While there is still the chance that someone will be able to decrypt them or steal them, the impact that this have will be less than for the average user who may use the same password on all services.
There is no definition of what strong means in regards to passwords. The general consensus is that passwords need to be of appropriate length and complexity. I prefer to use passwords of 16, 20 or even more characters if the service allows it. Longer passwords are harder to memorize, but that is only a problem if you are not using a password manager that does that for you. So, if you are using a password manager, you only need to remember the master password for it and nothing else. And that master password should be very secure (mine is 40+ characters). Strong also refers to the characters used in the password. It is best to combine
2. Passwords need to be unique
This is an important rule, even though it is not the most important rule. The basic idea behind making passwords unique is that if someone gets hold of one of your passwords, they can’t use it for other services that you are a member of. A single strong password that has a low probability of being stolen makes it less likely that this ever happens, even if it is the only password used by a user. That’s in theory only though, as there are means of stealing passwords without having to decrypt them first. This can be through social engineering, keyloggers or software that records network traffic. It is also important to note that unique means also that you can’t use the username or a slight derivation of it as your password.
3. Passwords can’t be in the dictionary
There are two major types of attacks against an encrypted password to decrypt it. Brute-Force attacks that try every possible character combination imaginable, and dictionary-based attacks that use a dictionary file. The latter is a lot faster as it just have to go through all the words in a dictionary, and maybe in addition some combinations or additions (two dictionary words combined, or adding 1 to the end of each word). This includes popular terms, like favorite sport teams, pet or human names, sequences on the keyboard (qwerty, asdfyxcv) or artist names, and all personal information about yourself or your family including the name of the street, your school, license plate of your car or your favorite family vacation.
4. Password Managers do all the work for you
While it may be an impossible task for most users to create and memorize strong unique passwords for every service they use, it is not really something that most users need to worry about, as password managers can do all the heavy lifting for them. Password managers such as KeePass or LastPass help you generate and remember secure unique passwords. Even the built-in password manager of the browser can be of use. While not all come with password generation options, they do save all passwords that you create on the Internet so that you do not have to remember them all individually.

Common Sense
Along with the creation of secure passwords come guidelines that help you make sure that no one else gets hold of your passwords.- Be cautious about public computer systems. Since you do not have full control over the system, you do not really know what is running in the background. It is best not to type your passwords on these systems at all. If you do use them, make sure you log out of all services that you have signed in during the session. I’d also recommend to clear the cache, cookies and browsing history.
- Do not send your password to anyone, not your friends, family or someone claiming to be a support member of a service you use.
- If a server gets hacked, or you have the feeling that your account got compromised, change the password immediately even if it is false alarm or if there is only a slim chance that someone can actually decrypt your hopefully secure password.
- Make sure your password manager is properly protected. If you use your browser’s password manager, make sure you protect it with a Master Password. If your browser (Chrome) does not have that option, do not make use of the password manager in the browser, but use another tool for it.
- Change all insecure or weak passwords if you still have any.
- Make sure the password for your email account — the one associated with accounts you use on the Internet — is also secure. Someone who manages to get into your email account can use the “password recovery” option of Internet services to create a new password for accounts to gain access to them.

Facebook’s New Warning
When most people think of Facebook, they think of a social media website that takes up your time and energy while being highly addictive. People use it as a platform to express their feelings, to rant about politics, to ask questions, to display photos of themselves or generally to stalk someone and possibly their family. However, Facebook has been in the news again, but this time for videos, and not the ones of kittens playing in teacups or a drunk trying to climb an escalator, these videos are about decapitation. These videos of poor victims having their heads removed from their shoulders in a gruesome fashion has angered many as they easy to see if they appear in the user’s feed, and what has angered people even more is that the fact that to join Facebook requires you to be over the age of 13, therefore many minors have access to these videos. Most of these videos are usually terrorist or militia related where they capture helpless victims parade them in front of a camera ranting on about stuff before guillotining their heads off, either with a knife or a chainsaw.
Facebook had banned these videos but now for some unknown reason they have allowed them back on but as soon as they did it caused uproar, so how did Facebook get around this issue? Did they remove the videos again? No, instead they have decided to insert a warning message at the beginning of the video to warn viewers that what they are about to watch as it contains extremely graphic content and maybe upsetting. I think some of the movies being release today should have these warning, not because of the blood or how gruesome they are but how bad and repetitive they have become, but that is for me to rant about on a different.
How should Facebook tackle things like this in the future? Maybe raise the age to 18? Become stricter with what can be posted but that goes against the “Freedom” that they are offering. I hear people complain about Facebook, but I use it and about 90% for uploading photos of travels for my friends living world –wide to see. I avoid rants and giving my opinions because I am a straight talker and very direct that political correctness fears so I feel it is best just to read and respond to people who ask “How have you been?”. People also need to realize that Facebook is a huge community of people that want to express opinions or believe in different things and if someone disagrees with you then it is easier just to ignore and not let it get to you, after all it is just another ‘keyboard warrior’, if they real feel strong about something then they would do something about it not just type away.
The UK prime minister even tweeted about the situation before the warning messages were added; maybe he helped influence the warning messages to be inserted at the beginning of the videos as he criticized Facebook by calling them irresponsible and how they should put an alert or warning at eh beginning.

Everything You Need to Know About Windows 8.1
With Windows 8.1, Microsoft has solved many of the problems Windows 8 had in terms of usability while adding a bunch of lovely new features, and in usual fashion, we have covered them all in good detail. If you’re considering making the switch to Windows 8.1, be sure to go through our list of articles first so you know what you are getting into.
Without further ado, here’s quite literally everything you need to know about Windows 8.1, and more!
To make the jump, just launch the Windows Store app. You’ll see the upgrade option right away. If not, go to this link here. It’s a free upgrade for Windows 8 users. The rest can purchase Windows 8.1 directly online or off.

Without further ado, here’s quite literally everything you need to know about Windows 8.1, and more!
- New Start Button & Improved Start ScreenThe single biggest complaint among Windows 8 users has been the lack of a Start button that has been a part of Windows since the early 90s. Windows 8.1 brings that back, along with an improved Start screen experience.
- New Features & Changes In Lock ScreenThe lock screen gets its fair share of enhancements as well, including but not limited to wallpaper slideshow, more lock screen app notifications, and camera access.
- Improved Multitasking & Snap FeatureWhen using Modern apps, there is no better way to multitask than with ‘Snap’. Windows 8.1 builds on top of the solid base set by Windows 8, allowing you to snap more apps together and in different screen ratios.
- Revamped PC Settings AppWindows 8?s PC Settings app could only change settings for a very limited part of the system, so you had to launch Control Panel every now and then. That won’t be the case for most users with the updated ‘Modern’ PC Settings app in Windows 8.1.
- New & Improved Windows Store AppWindows Store gets a changed layout and more features, which make app discovery an easier task than it was before.
- New Unified Smart Search FeatureThis is one of the less talked about features in Windows 8.1, and we feel it deserves a lot more attention because – simply put – it is game-changing. OS-level searching doesn’t get any better than this!
- Built-In Image Editor In Photos AppMicrosoft beefs up the stock Photos app to include basic image-editing features. These are good enough for use before uploading on Facebook and Twitter.
- Deeper SkyDrive IntegrationSkyDrive integration in Windows 8 was dismal at best. In Windows 8.1, it’s so seamless, you won’t know the difference between what’s online and off (assuming you have a fast internet connection). For tablet users, this alone should be reason enough to make the jump to 8.1.
- Revamped Xbox Music App With Free Radio StreamingPandora, Spotify, Rdio, Songza, Stereomood, iTunes Radio – Microsoft has a lot of tough competition in the music streaming market so they’re seriously stepping up their game with the new Xbox Music app.
- Boot To Desktop & Other Navigation OptionsYou spend most of your time on the Desktop, so why not boot directly to it? We discuss Windows 8.1?s ‘Boot to Desktop’ feature, along with other customizable navigation options that improve overall usability.
- Hands-On With The New Modern UI Apps In Windows 8.1Another strong reason to update to Windows 8.1! Microsoft has included a handful of new, beautifully designed stock apps including Alarms, Calculator, Sound Recorder, Health & Fitness, Reading List and more. We’ve reviewed some of the more elaborate apps separately.
- 9 Lesser Known New Features In Windows 8.1We’ve covered all the big-name features, but what about the small ones Microsoft sneaked in? Well, we’ve got them too!
To make the jump, just launch the Windows Store app. You’ll see the upgrade option right away. If not, go to this link here. It’s a free upgrade for Windows 8 users. The rest can purchase Windows 8.1 directly online or off.

Cover for Android: A Lockscreen Replacement App
Contextually aware apps are all the rage these days, but until now, we hadn’t seen a good lock screen that adjusted to what you want, when you need it. Cover for Android might change that. Cover is a lockscreen replacement app that promises to learn when and where you use the apps on your device. This is accomplished through cell towers and WiFi signals, which then gives the app the information needed to display shortcuts to the apps you tend to use where you are, whether it’s home, work, or in transit.
The app tray fits six shortcuts, which also allow you to peek inside the app by sliding to the side. In addition, Cover lets you multitask by jumping between apps using a drawer that slides out from the right hand side, and lets you set a custom ringer volume and wallpaper based on time and location.

Bye Bye Facebook? People Slowly Disconnecting From The Social Media World
Social media has changed our lives in many ways, reuniting with old friends, letting the world know what you do or what you want them to think that you do. Photos of cats, rants about politics, religion, the disabled etc, websites like Facebook and Twitter allow and endorse this. Facebook was founded in February 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates, and now it is a global phenomenon that has taken the world almost when it comes to social media. These days though some people are turning off their social media sites saying that the sharing of information has gotten out of hand with people knowing too much about someone. Imaging breaking up with your partner of 10 years then you have to see what they are up to after the break up, even if you delete them you may encounter them through mutual friends etc. Also some people have been caught out on rants, sober and drunken, which may have cost them their relationships, respect or their jobs. Like most things in life, there are advantages and disadvantages with things, it depends how you treat it.

Android Mini PC “Halo” Review by Redferret.net
Redferret.net recently reviewed Android Mini PC and was impressed. With a title reading “Halo Android Mini Quad Core PC TV – yes, your TV is now more powerful than your phone, get over it…” you know it’s going to be good.
Nigel of redferret.com started off with going through the contents of the box and seemed to be satisfied writing:
The product comes in an attractively designed package, with the full range of bits and pieces you’d expect, including a competent user guide, an HDMI cable and a USB power block with charger cable. Gone are the days when you got a bare bones white box and a flimsy photocopied user manual.
Then moving on the the “Halo” TV Box itself, the verdict was even better. Praising the box’s speed and versatility we read:
This is a crackingly fast unit, and really eats up the data processing, which you’d expect with the quad core 1.6GHz processor and quad core graphics processor cranking away. The device runs apps flawlessly, is great for surfing and for running high resolution video from video apps such as iPlayer or YouTube, and the games run brilliantly. The one thing with games of course, is the fact that you really need a games controller to play properly, because a keyboard and mouse, or trackpad, really can’t mimic a touchscreen well enough.
If you are interested in the in depth video review, check out the video below! Summary
This little box is actually a marvel of engineering, cramming a huge amount of very cool tech in a box around the size of a matchbox. The device copes excellently with just about everything you can throw at it, including games, browsing, media and movie playing and the works. The only main issue we had with it, and this seems to be common with most of these current Android dongles, is the camera, which we had problems getting to work. The resolution of the camera is also not yet as good as it could/should be, but we’re confident that these issues will be fixed fairly soon as the technology matures.www.electroshopworld.com
Overall it’s a great way to upgrade your old television to a new intelligent (smart?) TV, and let you access the growing amount of content which is being delivered via your Internet connection.
What you should know about flexible displays (FAQ)
Samsung, LG, and others have been showing off flexible displays and even a prototype phone for years, but it’s only now that flexible displays are going commercial.
Samsung’s Galaxy Round raises a lot of questions about what a flexible display is and isn’t, what the word really means, and just what kinds of benefits a bendable display would bring to a smartphone or any other gadget.
Companies making such devices bend the display at some point, say vertically in the case of the Round, but then fix the whole caboodle in place. Another type of flexibility is “bendable.” Think of these sort of like credit cards. They flex a little bit, but don’t completely fold in half.
Then there’s a third category, foldable displays, which do just what you think. Finally, there are rollable displays, often called the holy grail of flexible displays. To picture this type, just think about a perhaps less extreme version of a scroll, or a Fruit Rollup, and you can see where the concept’s going.
However, there are some pretty significant benefits for displays that can flex. For one, they could be more durable (especially when you drop them), largely because they might use plastic, which has some give, instead of glass. Plastic also can make the devices thinner and lighter, and it can allow for products in different shapes beyond the standard rectangular screen.
Note that this may not always be the case. Even plastic can break if you stress it enough, and glass-makers are also designing flexible glass, but more on that below.
Still, the durability issues raises the question: Why not just make a regular phone with a plastic display? We’ll likely see that too, some experts say, but there are some things a flexible display can do that others can’t.
Imagine being able to fold up your phone or tablet and put it in your pocket, or unroll a screen to serve as a map. These could even be incorporated into clothing or jewelry or other items where the screen needs to have some give. The future potential for flexible displays is huge if hurdles are overcome, even though we may not yet know exactly what their uses will be.
Flexible displays — on both the inside and out — are going to be a hot topic in the months ahead. Whether gimmick or convenience, it’s going to be fun to watch what happens next.

Samsung’s Galaxy Round raises a lot of questions about what a flexible display is and isn’t, what the word really means, and just what kinds of benefits a bendable display would bring to a smartphone or any other gadget.
- What is a flexible display anyway?
- How is the Samsung Galaxy Round different from the curved screen of the Galaxy Nexus?
- Does the Galaxy Round bend?
- Then why do people keep saying it’s flexible?

The Story Behind The Android Logo
The well known Android mascot is called Bugdroid. But it is not the original, very first Android mascot. Dan Morrill, head of developer relations for the platform, had to present a slide for the internal developer launch of Android. As a last-minute solution, he started to draw a mascot with Inkscape software, and the mascot called Dandroid was born.
The Dandroids experienced a period of popularity around Google’s offices, but shortly thereafter, Irina Blok came through with her brilliant Bugdroid design that has become the face of the operating system. Irina Block is a is a professional designer, art director.
Here are some pics about Dandroid and the first versions of the famous Bugdroid.
Irina Blok may have drawn one of the most recognized logos in the world, but her association with the green Android has not made her famous. Blok can think of only one incident when she garnered the public’s attention for designing it. In 2010, she and her 6-year-old daughter were in a movie theater waiting for “Alice in Wonderland” to begin when an Android logo flashed on the screen. Her daughter, Blok recalls, suddenly stood up and yelled, “My mommy invented that!” Everyone in the row in front of them turned around to stare. Blok was so embarrassed, she says, that she sank down behind her tub of popcorn.
In the years since, the Android logo has been dressed up as a ninja, given skis and skateboards and even transformed into a limited-edition Kit-Kat bar. Blok (who is now creative director at Edmodo, a social network for students and teachers) says that creating the logo was like raising a child: “You give a life to this individual, and then they have a life of their own.”

The Bugdroid logo was bor, when Blok worked as a designer at Google. As Google prepared to endorse the Android software platform for mobile devices, Blok and her design-team colleagues were told to create a look for the software — something that consumers could easily identify. The logo, she was told, should involve a robot, and so she studied sci-fi toys and space movies — anything that might help her create a character. In the end, she took inspiration from a distinctly human source: the pictograms of the universal man and woman that often appear on restroom doors. She drew a stripped-down robot with a tin-can-shaped torso and antennas on his head.
While Blok worked on her design, she and her colleagues agreed that the logo, like the software, should be open-sourced. “We decided it would be a collaborative logo that everybody in the world could customize,” she says. “That was pretty daring.” Most companies, of course, defend their trademark from copycats, and million-dollar lawsuits have been filed over the rights to corporate insignia. This one would remain free.In the years since, the Android logo has been dressed up as a ninja, given skis and skateboards and even transformed into a limited-edition Kit-Kat bar.

New Android Phones Apps: 5 Top Free Baby Monitors On Play
Many new Android phones have advanced voice recognition capabilities – a feature that is immensely useful for baby monitor apps that are designed to alert you whenever your baby starts crying out for you. If you are undecided on what app to install on your new Android mobiles, then this selection ought to help you define what you need and want from your baby monitoring apps:
1.Baby Alarm – the aptly titled Baby Alarm will allow old Android phones as set to double as baby monitors; alerting you via phone calls, SMS messages, emails or MSN messages. It also has a few nifty features like playing soothing lullabies when your baby makes sounds or automatic restarts after the alarm is triggered. These advanced features will be restricted after a few weeks and will prompt you to upgrade to the paid version if you still want to use them. Has seen 10,000 to 50,000 downloads with varying app versions to match different versions of Android.

Has been downloaded 100,000 to 500,000 times and works on devices running Android 1.5 or higher.
4.BabyMonitor (by SmartDyne) – this app keeps everything simple by using old Android phones you keep near your baby to call the next Android phones you carry around with you.

Pick this one if you just want a no-nonsense app to alert you when your baby starts crying. Has seen 10,000 to 50,000 downloads and works on the best Android phones running 2.1 and up.

Skype improvements bring better battery life, synchronized chats
Skype has announced a new architectural update with an intent to improve the popular messaging and video call platform in a world with more connected mobile devices.
Sharing some details about the changes in a blog post, Skype’s Mark Gillet mentions that Skype is now using the cloud to assist clients in delivering chat messages and connecting calls, marking a shift from the p2p nature of the service where a major amount of processing was done on the user’s device.
Gillet calls the move to Skype cloud the service’s biggest architectural change in 10 years and says that new technologies are helping the company to promote improved battery life and improved connections.

“Skype clients continue to evaluate bandwidth, connectivity and firewall settings to select the most appropriate path for the call and continue to connect devices for P2P calls across the Internet so that users get audio and video connections that ‘just work” he states.Skype also credits the cloud for enhancing the performance and quality of its core messaging experience. It talks about the ability to receive messages offline and pushing notifications to the Windows Phone 8 mobile client even when the Skype app is not running, and says that the feature will soon be extended to other Skype mobile clients.

LG has a curved battery to complement its curved smartphone display
Last week it was rumored, and this week it has been confirmed that LG is manufacturing a 6-inch curved display using plastic substrates for use in a smartphone.
The jury is still out on the benefits on using a curved display in a handset, but the proof will inevitably come from actually using one. However, a curved display does pose some problems for manufacturers because other components aren’t curved. For example, how do you place a large, flat battery in a curved handset?
LG is answering that question by not using the standard rechargeable batteries found in all modern smartphones today. While the company’s display division (LG Display) has been perfecting this new, curved display, LG’s battery division (LG Chem) has been perfecting a curved battery to go along with it. And that battery is already being mass produced.
LG filed a patent for its curved battery back in August 2012 and it was subsequently published in May of this year. The patent describes a layered battery that is enclosed in a flexible pouch. The battery can be formed into a curve shape at point of manufacture by applying pressure to it using curved plates at a temperature of 85 degrees Celsius.
