Good Bye Wires!
Dealing with your wireless router is horrible,. That’s what
google found out over the last year or so, as it started dropping into
people’s homes to talk about Wi-Fi. “ We spent a lot of time with
people who were having all kinds of trouble with their Wi-Fi,” says
Trond Wuellner, a Google product manager. He knows your Wi-Fi
sucks, and he thinks Google can help.
The company has launched a new device call the OnHub, in
partnership with router-maker TP-Link. There’s another, Asusmade device in the works. For $199, it promises to make your Wi-Fi
faster and more reliable and to give you the ability to update and fix
your connection.
“Technology gives us power, but it does not and cannot tell us how to use
that power. Thanks to technology, we can instantly communicate across
the world, but I still doesn't help us know what to say” - Jonathan Sacks
Indian-origin
Teen
Devices Search Engine
47%
Faster
Than
Google?
16-year-old,
Anmol
Tukrel, a Canada based
Indian origin boy has
claimed that he has
designed a search engine
which is 47 percent accurate than Google and 21
percent accurate at an average.
In an interview with The
Economic Times Anmol
said, "I thought I would do
something in the personalized search space. It was
the most genius thing ever.
But when I realized
Google already does it, I
tried taking it to the next
level."
The most striking thing about the OnHub is the way it looks. It’s not
your average router, with wires and antennas poking out from every side;
it’s a large cylindrical device with a blinking light on the top, shades of the
amazon Echo or Apple’s Airport Extreme Router. Its outer shell is removable, and comes in either blue or black.
OnHub supports the latest in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, plus Google’s
new Weave language, which is designed to help appliances and connected
home devices talk to each other. It is a Trojan horse similar to Amazon’s
Echo, offering a single great feature—really, really, really, ridiculously easy
Wi-Fi setup.

The Google Indian
Sundar Pichai India’s rising star
has attained the peak position in tech
world by becoming the CEO of the multinational giant, Google. Here are some very
interesting facts about Sundar Pichai
which will amaze you for sure!
1. Humble beginning
The genius was born in Chennai,
India to a middle class family and didn't
even own a car or a television during his
childhood.
2. Mismatch Studies
He did his engineering in Metallurgy, which has no relation with IT, and even dropped out of work
as an engineer. But, his move to do MBA form the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania,
changed his fortunes.
3. Think tank behind Google Chrome
On his arrival at Google in 2004, Pichai suggested the idea of a new browser. The idea was not taken seriously earlier, but now it has proved to be the leading web browser in the world.
4. Nothing could lure him away from Google
He received various offers from multinational giants like Microsoft and Twitter, but he stayed with
Google.
5. Larry’s Right Hand
He has been the right-hand of Larry Page for a long time. He is the driving force behind convincing
whatsapp founder Jan Koum not to sell to Facebook (later it was sold), and also convinced Nest’s Tony
Fadell to merge his company with Google.
6. Exceptional Remembrance
He owns a sharp brain as he has an extraordinary numerical recalling ability and can easily remember any number dialled.
7. Popular Boss
Due to his managing abilities, down-to-earth and staff friendly nature, he is one of the most popular
bosses at Google.
8. Sports Freak
Now, he has to live in a sophisticated multinational mode, but he was a sports freak during his
school times as he was a soccer and chess lover, but even more a cricket fan.

ONE TOUCH RULER
A flat metal rectangle with
rounded corners, Sensel Morph is
about the same size as an iPad and a
bit thicker than a mousepad. The
gadget sits on your desk and connects with a laptop, desktop or tablet
where it works with existing software, such as paint program or game.
Its pressure-sensitive surface can tell
if you're lightly
dragging a piece
of fruit on the surface or jabbing a
toothbrush down as hard as you can.
Pop on an optional 3D silicon overlay and the Morph will turn into a
keyboard, drawing tablet, piano, video game controller or drum pad. The
touchpad
automatically
detects
what's on top and interprets touch
information accordingly, so it knows
you're pressing the C key on a piano
or hammering a fire button on a
game controller.

Unlike most trackpads and touchscreens, the high-resolution Morph
can sense any object, including its shape. Where other trackpads are meant for
a few pressure points, the Morph can track up to 16 different points at a time -enough for all your fingers and a few of your friends'. It detects a nuanced

The five-person startup already has some undisclosed funding and is
working with a manufacturer in China. On Tuesday, it launched a Kickstarter
campaign to raise $60,000. The Senel Morph will start at $199 and come with
three overlays. Sensel hopes to have a final version for sale by next June.

Intel has very big plans for Real
Sense, the technology meant to enable our gadgets to learn and understand us, in order to better do the
things we want. And the best way to
achieve that? Make them mimic humans.
At the Intel’s Developer Conference,
CEO Brian Krzanich explained the
company’s advances with RealSense , calling it the “sensification
of compute.” “We want our devices
to behave more like humans,” Krzanich said. “We want them to listen to
us.” To do that, Intel is increasing
platform compatibility to include
ROS, Linux, Unity, XSplit, Structure
SDK, OSVR, and Google’s Project
Tango.
In one of the most interesting developments, Intel and Google are combining Project Tango (Google’s 3D
mapping project) and realSense into
an Android SDK. During the morning’s conference they showed off a
RealSense
smartphone
running
Google’s software. The phone was
able to 3D-scan a room simply with a
sweep of its camera, an application
that should be useful for advancing
indoor mapping technology or scanning everyday home items in 3D.
Giving a phone the ability to better
measure depth and render objects is a
huge undertaking, but an important
one as developers continue to experiment with smartphone managing capabilities. The next Generation is
here.
