Windows 8 brings password management and synchronization

2011-12-29T07:19:00.000+01:00

We all know that Windows 8 will offer a variety of features, and regarding the upcoming features, we’re pleased to inform you that Windows 8 will have an improved password management system.

You probably use a variety of passwords on your computer, so it’s not uncommon that you lose or forget your password, and the only solution for that problem is to request a new password, but that can be a tedious process sometimes. Luckily for you, Windows 8 will try to eliminate this problem with enhanced password storage and syncing feature. By logging in to Windows 8 with your Live ID, you’ll automatically retrieve passwords that you’ve used on this computer, and all your website passwords will be saved on Internet Explorer 10, so you won’t have to log in again. However, if you need to see those passwords, you can do so easily right from the credential manager.

Password storage and synchronizing feature sounds promising, however it has it flaws, but we can’t wait to see how it works in action.

New and improved ASIMO from Honda

2011-11-22T11:19:00.000+01:00

After seeing Primer-V2 robot that drives a bicycle, we have to wonder what happened to the older robots such as ASIMO. In case you’re a fan of ASIMO, we’re happy to inform you that Honda Motors has introduced new and improved ASIMO robot, so let’s see what new ASIMO can do.

According to the creators, the new ASIMO will be able to change its behavior and to adapt to the current situations. Unlike the previous model, new ASIMO uses pre-set space sensor, so it can predict direction in which people are going, and it can use that data to avoid collisions. In addition, the new ASIMO also comes with face and voice recognition, so it can speak with multiple people simultaneously. Despite these improvements, we also have to mention that ASIMO also features a highly functional multi-finger hand that allows it to work better with certain objects.

New ASIMO looks great, and its developers have done an amazing job with it, and we can only wonder what ASIMO will be able to do in the future.

Primer-V2: The first robot that drives a bicycle

2011-11-17T05:10:00.000+01:00

We don’t need to remind you that robots can do all sorts of amazing things, and after the robots that can sing and walk, we have the first robot that can drive a bicycle on its own.

Dr. Guero, also known as Masahiko Yamaguchi, created Primer-V2 robot, and unlike other robots that we saw, this one is capable of driving a bicycle on its own, almost like a human. Although this robot probably isn’t the fastest bicycle driver, and it can only achieve speed of 10kmph, it’s probably the only robot that is capable of doing that. In order to keep its balance, this robot is using data from a piezoelectric angular rate sensor and thanks to that data it corrects tilt with the handlebars. Although this robot uses automatic balance, when it comes to determining a direction, it has to be controlled remotely at all times.

Primer-V2 is one of a kind robot, and we hope that we’ll see similar robots in the future.

Rob Eyeborg Spence: The first man with wireless camera instead of eye

2011-11-11T05:41:00.000+01:00

We have seen all sorts of medical implants and prosthetics that could improve the lives people with certain medical conditions, and speaking of which, today we want to introduce you to Eyeborg.

Rob Spence, also known as Eyeborg, lost his eye due to the accident, and ever since then, Rob has been working with the team of engineers to develop a camera replacement for his lost eye. Together they have managed to transform an endoscope into a working video camera that is placed inside of Rob's eye socket. As for this camera, it transmits the wireless video signal to a handheld LCD viewer wirelessly, and Rob turns the camera by moving the magnet in front of the camera. So far, this camera isn't connected to Rob's brain, but someday scientists might find a way to do that.

Bionic eyes are still far away, but scientists believe that they will manage to connect bionic eye with a visual cortex someday in the future and help many visually impaired worldwide.

Robonaut 2 sends tweets from space station

2011-09-16T08:27:00.000+02:00

Today, humanoid robots can run, walk, talk, and even sing, but currently, there aren’t many humanoid robots in space, expect the Robonaut 2 that was sent to space station by NASA. Speaking of Robonaut 2, or R2 for short, you’ll be pleased to hear that R2 is now sending tweets from space.

As you probably know, Robonaut 2 was sent by NASA to space station last year, so it could help astronauts with lifting heavy objects, and since then, we haven’t heard any news about it, until now. Well, if you’re fan of robots and Robonaut 2, you’ll be pleased to know that Robonaut 2 has its own twitter account, @astrorobonaut, that currently has more than 43, 000 followers, and they are constantly being updated about R2’s activity in space. As for Robonaut 2, it was designed to demonstrate how dexterous robots could work in weightless environment, and it will eventually be upgraded so it can leave the space station and assist other astronauts on space walks.

So far, Robonaut 2 will stay inside the space station, but if you want to monitor its activity, feel free to follow its Twitter profile for future updates.

Windows 8 Developer Preview is live and free to download

2011-09-16T07:11:00.000+02:00

As you probably noticed by now, we’ve covered a lot of news related to Microsoft’s upcoming OS, Windows 8, but in case you want to experience Windows 8 on your own, now you have chance to do that for free.

For all Windows users that are anxious to see how Windows 8 works in action, we have some good news. Microsoft has just released an official Windows 8 Developer Preview to the public, and it is available free from Microsoft’s website. Now you can try all the new features of Windows 8 on your computer or a tablet, but we have to mention few things related to this version. This is a developer preview, so you’ll probably experience some difficulties such as crashing and lack of hardware support. In addition, you won’t be able to remove it once you install it, so keep that in mind as well.

We’ve been waiting for Windows 8 for a long time, and if you’re impatient to see how it works, make sure you download Windows 8 Developer Preview from Microsoft’s website.

How To Change Your IP Address

2011-09-05T07:38:00.000+02:00

How do I change my IP Address?

There are MANY methods to change your IP address. Some methods will work for you but may not work for someone else and vice versa. We're going to cover how to change your IP address in Windows 2000, XP, 2003, and Vista using command prompt.
What if I have a static IP address?

If your IP is static, then you CAN’T change it without contacting your ISP. Although not impossible, it is very rare that an ISP would assign you a static IP without some sort of increased level of service like a business account. However, an ISP can set a lengthy lease time for your IP address and make it look like you've assigned a static IP. If you have a long lease time (explained in this article) on your IP then you may not be able to change your IP address without leaving your modem or router unplugged for a long period of time (more than 8 hours), or without cloning your MAC address, which I’ll explain later in this article.

It definitely helps if you know how the IP is being assigned to you.

An IP lease time is the amount of time your ISP determines you’ll be assigned a particular IP. Some IP lease times could be just a couple of hours, where some are set to a few days, and other IP lease times could be set for as long as a year or more. This setting is completely up to your ISP.

One of the easier methods to change your IP address is to turn off your modem/router/computer overnight. Then turn it back on the following morning. This method WILL NOT work if your ISP has a long lease time set for your IP.

The following method will ONLY work if your computer is being assigned your external IP and not a router.

If your connection is direct to your computer and your computer gets the public IP and not a router, you can try this:

For Windows 2000, XP, and 2003

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type in cmd and hit ok (this opens a Command Prompt)
4. Type ipconfig /release and hit enter
5. Click Start, Control Panel, and open Network Connections
6. Find and Right click on the active Local Area Connection and choose Properties
7. Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
8. Click on Use the following IP address
9. Enter a false IP like 123.123.123.123
10. Press Tab and the Subnet Mask section will populate with default numbers
11. Hit OK twice
12. Right click the active Local Area Connection again and choose Properties
13. Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
14. Choose Obtain an IP address automatically
15. Hit OK twice
16. Go to What Is My IP to see if you have a new IP address

For Vista (Windows 7 is very similar)

1. Click Start
2. Click All Programs expand the Accessories menu
3. In the Accessories menu, Right Click Command Prompt and choose Run as administrator
4. Type ipconfig /release and hit enter
5. Click Start, Control Panel, and open Network and Sharing Center. Depending on your view, you may have to click Network and Internet before you see the Network and Sharing Center icon
6. From the Tasks menu on the left, choose Manage Network Connections
7. Find and Right click on the active Local Area Connection and choose Properties (If you’re hit with a UAC prompt, choose Continue)
8. Double-click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
9. Click on Use the following IP address
10. Enter a false IP like 123.123.123.123
11. Press Tab and the Subnet Mask section will populate with default numbers
12. Hit OK twice
13. Right click the active Local Area Connection again and choose Properties
14. Double-click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
15. Choose Obtain an IP address automatically
16. Hit OK twice
17. Go to What Is My IP to see if you have a new IP address

Some people have inquired about manually assigning their IP address. This IS possible, but you run a very high risk of your ISP banning you from connecting to the internet. To manually change your IP, follow the steps above for your Operating System. In step 9 or 10, depending on your O/S, enter an IP similar to the one displayed in the command prompt window. For example, if the IP displayed in the command prompt window is 75.1.2.3, change yours to 75.1.2.4. You’ll also need to manually enter the Subnet, Gateway and DNS Server IP addresses. If the new IP you give your computer doesn’t work, chances are someone else on the ISP network has already been assigned that IP. You’ll need to move on to the next one and keep trying until you find an open one. Keep in mind that some ISPs match up your MAC or modem data to the address that’s been assigned. If those 2 things don’t match up, you won’t be able to connect no matter what. If your router gets the IP and not your computer, you’ll need to http in to your routers interface and manually assign the IP there. It’s pretty much the same method as assigning the IP to your computer. The method that varies is in how you reach your routers interface. You can get the instructions from your manufacturer’s website.

MAC Cloning. What is a MAC address? A MAC address is a physical hardware address assigned to each device that has the capability of connecting to a network. The internet is nothing more than a large network. The MAC address is something that is assigned in the chip on the device and is not something the user can change. MAC cloning can only be done at your router providing it has those capabilities. Most ISPs assign their IPs based on the MAC address in your equipment. If the MAC address of your router is 00-11-22-33-44-55 and you connect to your ISP, the DHCP server records your MAC and assigns an IP. If you disconnect from the ISP, you lose your IP address. The next time you connect, the DHCP server sees your MAC, looks to see if it has assigned an IP address to you before. If it has and the lease time has not expired, it will most likely give you the same IP address you had before disconnecting and will not change your IP.

Windows 8 will have improved file management

2011-09-02T06:11:00.000+02:00

Windows has changed a lot during the years, and Microsoft has decided to put some new changes in its upcoming OS, Windows 8, and one of the changes that we’re going to see is the improved file management.

Windows offers functional interface, but despite its functionality, this interface has its flaws especially when it comes to the copying of a large number of files. To make copying process a bit harder, there’s a problem with duplicated file names, so copying files can become sometimes a tedious process. Luckily for us, Microsoft has decided to fix this in Windows 8, and now when you’re copying several files simultaneously, you’ll get one dialog box for all transfers, and the great thing about it is that you’ll be to pause a specific transfer and continue it later. In addition, new improved interface allows you to choose which files you want to keep in case you’re trying to overwrite the files.

These are some welcome interface additions that will make our user experience simpler than before, and we can’t wait to try them out.

Official: Microsoft confirms USB 3.0 support for Windows 8

2011-09-02T06:04:00.000+02:00

All PC users are waiting for Windows 8 with anticipation because it will feature all sorts of improvements, and if you’re waiting for Windows 8 as well, then we’re happy to inform you that Microsoft has just confirmed USB 3.0 support in Windows 8.

Today, most devices are using USB 2.0 connectivity, but as you know, that technology will surely be replaced with USB 3.0 in the near future, so it’s really no surprise to see that Windows 8 will have USB 3.0 support. We also have to mention that Microsoft won’t add USB 3.0 support on top of the USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 software stack, and it will write entirely new software stack for USB 3.0 instead, while keeping the USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 stacks separated.

Support for USB 3.0 in Windows 8 isn’t anything unexpected since we’re seeing more USB 3.0 devices with each passing day, but if you don’t own any USB 3.0 devices, don’t worry, Windows 8 will still have support for USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 devices.

MABEL: Running bipedal Robot with knees

2011-09-02T05:59:00.000+02:00

Robots have proven that they can do all sorts of things, from singing and playing instruments, to learning on their own, but the only limitation that robots have is their running speed and movement, but this latest robot could change that.

MABEL is the first bipedal robot with knees and it was first built in late 2008, but it has advanced a lot since 2008. This robot can run at 6.8 mph (10.9km/h) and it can navigate through rough terrain at lower speeds on similar way as humans do. Besides running, this robot can easily walk, but it’s definitely not the most silent robot that we saw. In addition, we have to mention that MABEL currently has limited movability but researchers are constantly working on it, and they are hoping to make it able to climb stairs in the future.

MABEL is quite impressive, and although it’s far from being used in everyday situations, we might see it running on its own someday in the future.

Development of Technology - DJ Robots

2011-08-30T10:17:00.000+02:00

Thanks to the development of technology, humans are slowly being replaced by robots in certain cases, but what if a human is replaced by artificial intelligence? If you’re considered whether artificial intelligence can do the job as well as human, well, Denise is here to prove that.

Denise is a non-human DJ or artificial intelligence program to be precise that was developed by Guile 3D Studio. Denise was designed as a virtual assistant to answer phone calls, check email, perform Web searches, and perform appointments, but Dominique Garcia, a radio personality from San Antonio had different plans for Denise. He purchased Denise for $200, and reprogrammed it in order to work as a live DJ on radio. So far, Denise cannot work on its own, and it needs a talented writer to write script for that will be performed during the talk breaks.

Denise is almost useless without a writer, but Denis already had its first radio show on August 24th from 1pm to 4pm CST on KROV.

Glass memory can preserve data for thousands of years

2011-08-30T05:42:00.000+02:00

When it comes to storing data, DVDs currently provide the best solution for it, but problem with DVDs is that they cannot store your data for long periods, but luckily, scientists have found a new way to store data for long periods.

After hard drives and DVDs, the new medium for storing data might be glass. British researchers have managed to rearrange atoms in glass using laser, so your data will be stored even on 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit, or even under water. Although your data can survive in extreme temperatures, it can also survive for long periods of time as well. By storing data into glass, your data will live for thousands of years, which means that 10 generations after you will have access to it when you’re gone.

This special laser can write, delete, and rewrite data into the molecular structure of the glass, and a piece of glass that is large as a cellphone screen can hold 50GB of data. Although this sounds amazing, we wonder when we will see it in action.

Millenniata M-Disc will store your data forever

2011-08-30T05:37:00.000+02:00

Storing our data can be a problem since DVDs aren’t that durable, but luckily for us, Millenniata has successfully developed the M-Disc, that lasts much more longer than other DVDs.

According to Millenniata, the latest technology M-Disc is the first ever ‘permanent disc’ and it can literally last forever. It is designed for business people, photographers, and all users that want to protect and store their data properly. M-Disc provides long-lasting storage by storing your data into rock like material that won’t be scratched or easily broken like other DVDs. In addition, M-Disc won’t degrade over time and it will be usable on daily basis without any problems. As for capacity, M-Disc currently can store 4.7GB of data, but Millenniata is working on a Blu-ray version that should become available someday in the future.

As for ordinary M-Disc, it will become available on October 2011 and it will be priced at $2.99. Of course, there will be M-Disc 5-packs available for $13.89 and M-Disc 10-packs for $26.59.
