Facebook Acquires Oculus VR for $2 Billion

2014-04-01T14:43:00.002-07:00

Within two months Facebook Acquired two major companies. Before a month facebook acquired WhatsApp for around $19 Billion and now facebook is again the news , Flashing Oculus VR is acquired by facebook for approximately $2 billion.

It is confirmed from the Mark Zuckerberg’s facebook post saying “

" I ‘m excited to announce that we’ve agreed to acquire Oculus VR, leader of theVirtual reality technology.

Our mission is to make the world more open and connected. For the past few years, this has mostly meant building mobile apps that help you share with the people you care about. We have a lot more to do on mobile, but at this point we feel we're in a position where we can start focusing on what platforms will come next to enable even more useful, entertaining and personal experiences.

This is where Oculus comes in. They build virtual reality technology, like the Oculus Rift headset. When you put it on, you enter a completely immersive computer-generated environment, like a game or a movie scene or a place far away. The incredible thing about the technology is that you feel like you're actually present in another place with other people. People who try it say it's different from anything they've ever experienced in their lives.

Oculus's mission is to enable you to experience the impossible. Their technology opens up the possibility of completely new kinds of experiences.

Immersive gaming will be the first, and Oculus already has big plans here that won't be changing and we hope to accelerate. The Rift is highly anticipated by thegaming community, and there's a lot of interest from developers in building for this platform. We're going to focus on helping Oculus build out their product and develop partnerships to support more games. Oculus will continue operating independently within Facebook to achieve this.

But this is just the start. After games, we're going to make Oculus a platform for many other experiences. Imagine enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face -- just by putting on goggles in your home.

This is really a new communication platform. By feeling truly present, you can share unbounded spaces and experiences with the people in your life. Imagine sharing not just moments with your friends online, but entire experiences and adventures.

These are just some of the potential uses. By working with developers and partners across the industry, together we can build many more. One day, we believe this kind of immersive, augmented reality will become a part of daily life for billions of people.

Virtual reality was once the dream of science fiction. But the internet was also once a dream, and so were computers and smartphones. The future is coming and we have a chance to build it together. I can't wait to start working with the whole team at Oculus to bring this future to the world, and to unlock new worlds for all of us. "

Oculus VR is the company which makes virtual reality headset mainly used for 3D gaming and it is so called as Oculus Rift. The company is founded by Palmer Luckey, Brendan Iribe, Michael Antonov, and Nate Mitchel.

Facebook wants to open the door rooms for the Future technology on various mediums such as gaming, social networking, Communication and wanted bring the entire world together on one medium called “TECHNOLOGY”.

On this Oculus VR CEO says that, “ They are excited to work with facebook and to deliver very best virtual reality tech to the world”.

Lets see how far can facebook go in the Technology World. :)

Nokia X hands On and Full Specifications

2014-03-19T13:57:00.001-07:00

Nokia officially announced its first ever family of Android smartphones. Meet the X family of smartphones consisting of the Nokia X, Nokia X+ and Nokia XL.

Don't make any mistake about it, this is not a Google-certified project and thus the X phones don't run the Google Play Services such as the Play Store, Gmail and Chrome. Nokia and Microsoft have worked hard though to integrate their core services and apps.Also known as Nokia Normandy, Nokia A110, Nokia X Dual SIM..

Nokia X hands-on

The Nokia X features a 4" IPS LCD display of WVGA (480 x 800 pixels) resolution. Colors are okay, brightness and contrast are reasonable, but nothing spectacular out of a sub-100 euro device.

At the back of the Nokia X there's a 3MP fixed focus camera, but no front-facer. The build quality of the X is superb.The phone weighs 129 grams and packs a 1500mAh battery. It's good for 10.5 hours of 3G talk time and a maximum standby time of 17 days. It is also capable of up to 26 hours of music playback, while video playback time is quoted at 8.4 hours.

Under the hood, the entire Nokia X range shares the same 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 chipset, with only the X somewhat limited at 512MB of RAM. Internal storage is just 4GB, but is expandable up to 32GB.

You get what you pay for then; at roughly $125 for the X and $135 for the X+, it's a perfect entry into the world of smartphones for those in emerging markets or on a low income.

how to speed up torrents

2014-03-02T13:35:00.001-08:00

A torrent is a small file that allows users to download the larger files that it is linked to using the BitTorrent peer-to-peer sharing protocol.

To download from torrent files you have to use a BitTorrent client which is a software that can access the peer-to-peer network where the files associated with the torrent are being shared.

Torrent speed is often a big concern since files on a shared network can reduce download speeds to a crawl. However there are many ways that you can speed up torrent downloads.

1. Install a fast BitTorrent client.

Some BitTorrent clients that are recommended by PC Mag and other review websites include Deluge, uTorrent and Vuze. (We Recommend - Utorrent).

2. Download torrents with healthy seeders and a large number of peers.

So what exactly Peer Computers and Seeders are?

Peer computers download and upload the torrent files simultaneously while seeders are the computers that have already downloaded the whole file and are now distributing the file to other computers. Of course, downloading a torrent from more computers gives you a faster torrent speed.

3. Change the port settings.

BitTorrent shares files using different port numbers and if 1 port becomes too busy you should try switching to another. You may want to try using a port number that is higher than 10,000 since these ports are usually less busy.

4. Add trackers to your current torrent.

Trackers helps to increase download speeds from dead/dying to healthy torrents, as well.

>> How it works :

Simple. Just copy/paste the list of public trackers into your torrent’s tracker list.

>> Now Applying the trackers to uTorrent :

➢ In particular, this is a ‘µTorrent-compatible’ list, so that’s where I’ll show the example.
Open µTorrent, and right-click on the suspiciously-slow torrent. Select ”Properties….

➢ In the first window box, the “General” tab should be open, and there should already be a list of existing trackers (or perhaps just one). ‘Copy’ the list from above, and ‘paste’ them into the window.(As shown below)

NOTE :-

Be certain that there’s a blank space (line) between each tracker in the list. Click ”OK” to save the changes. No need to restart uTorrent; if the torrent is already ’started’ (ie - active), it will automatically update and thus look for the new trackers.

How to increase virtual RAM

2013-12-10T12:14:00.002-08:00

An amount of Memory (RAM) is needed for execution of Programs. The more RAM your computer has, the faster your programs will generally run. If a Computer lacks the memory needed, then Windows uses Virtual memory to compensate. So,

" A Virtual RAM is nothing but some storage space which can be used for execution of a Process or a Task. "

Virtual memory combines your computer’s RAM with temporary space on your hard disk. When RAM runs low, virtual memory moves data from RAM to a space called a 'paging file' on hard disk. Moving data to and from the paging file frees up the RAM to complete its work.

Now moving on to the Steps :

1. Right click My computer > Properties > Advanced System Settings

2. Being On the Advanced Tab Click on Performance Pane's settings.

3. Another Window appears containing 3 tabs. Click on Advanced Tab > Change

.

4. Uncheck "Automatically manage paging files" and then select "Custom size" option to enter your own values for paging files. Insert the value 2000 in Initial Size (Mb) and 5000-6000 in Maximum Size. Finally Click on SET.

Note: You can increase/decrease the size of the paging file depending on how your usage of Applications are.
