Have you ever tried pushing buttons on your music player while you’re out jogging or reaching for your cell phone when you’re stuck in a crowded train? It’s not a nice experience and a problem that NEC is trying to solve with a new system that is supposed to let you control consumer electronics by tapping your arm.
Security is a bit of a minefield at the moment. Passwords need to be difficult to guess, two-factor authentication is less than perfect, and then there’s the proliferation of apps to control access to services. It all adds up to a growing amount of security solutions we as individuals have to manage. Then we have biometrics, which replaces all that security with a unique aspect of your body, be it a fingerprint, iris scan, or now even the unique sound echo created by your ear.
As we hurl ourselves into the future, typing on a smartphone will be a thing of the past.
Google has announced that it will be backing a major trans-pacific undersea cable system called “FASTER”. The new 6-fiber-pair cable will be capable of transmitting data as an initial speed of 6Tbps (100Gbps x 100 wavelengths x 6 fiber-pairs) between the United States and Japan.
Sign me up for this right away when available. Love what Google is going with Google fiber, so naturally I'm excited about this too.
On one hand, I'm dismayed at what they've done to twitch tv. On the other, I want to pump my fist as they help to revitalise the US's stagnant network infrastructure.
I don't mind to say 'bye bye!!' to all those remote controls... any idea to be consider :) LOL
