How Embracing AI Transformed My Everyday Life

I still remember the first time I spoke to a virtual assistant. It was a chilly morning, and I was running late for a meeting. Frustrated with my disorganized schedule, I hesitantly said, “Hey Siri, set a reminder for my 10 AM meeting.” To my surprise, it worked seamlessly. That simple interaction marked the beginning of a transformative journey with Artificial Intelligence (AI) that has profoundly changed how I live, work, and connect with others.

A Personal Assistant in My Pocket Juggling a demanding career and personal life often left me feeling overwhelmed. Deadlines were missed, birthdays forgotten, and important emails buried in my inbox.

Bluetooth V5 what does it have and not have?

Behold the Bluetooth V5 - yup finally after long last the version 5 of the bluetooth is accepted by wireless standard's Special Interest Group......yes officially. Though it will take another 6 months to actually land on the consumer devices, here is what we can expect and what not to: It has superior range around 4X yes you got that right 4 times the range. 2X speed for data transfer. What not to expect: The quality of audio transmitted over blue tooth is still not upto the mark especially when we are more poised towards a wireless headphone future(thanks to likes of Apple).

But, what we have is increase in range (now the whole of the home or small office comes inside the range) and speed will definitely give a boost to IoT, which could definitely use it.

Iphone 7 Vs Google Pxiel - Google's Take on Apple.

By now everyone has gone to lengths to explain, even the tiniest detail regarding these two phones, this is to give you,a somewhat different stand point from another angle. Nowadays, smartphone camera's play a vital role in deciding which mobile device we may opt to buy. Given the high-end camera specs of both cameras, they will get the job done on any given day. Unless you are really a photo-manic, for a normal user who clicks a few selfies and panorama on trips and some wide angle shots here and there, both will do just fine. One of the main things that would i consider is lifespan of these phones, given that i am going to spend considerable amount of money, if you are opting to buy either of these phones, longevity is one of major concerns for me. Given the recent history of hardware attempts by Google, i would say they are building a very bad hardware brand, not before long their nexus line devices promised to be best stock android experience, now they have ditched it o...

How did Xamio's flash sale of Redmi Note 3 ended? does anyone have a clear idea?

Up until now there have two flash sales, which turned out much to the discontent of the customers. After the march 16 flash sales on the amazon website, I personally found more than a 1000 reviews of angry customers who were patiently waiting to buy the 3 GB variant of the smart phone, unfortunately there have been a lot of controversies that surround the flash sale, many of the customers were unable to buy the because all the products were sold out in a flash.may be that's why its called a flash sale. The sale was very much to the huge disappoint of the customers. From the reviews I came to know that many of them have actually booked LeTv 1s, which is also kind of similar. Don’t why xamio has pulled an act like this? In a hyper growth market like India having this kind of reputation doesn’t look for the future for both xamio and amazon. The smartphone segment is being more and more crowded with new manufactures every day, at a time like this is just unacceptable. ...

Facts you don't know about C language...

Most of us think that c language doesn't support polymorphism. But actually it does, think i am wrong, actually i can prove it to you.. Consider a normal printf statement, it looks something like :               printf("hai"); It also accepts another type of arguments:               printf("%d",&a);  //assume a is an integer variable. Now printf is an in-build function, it accepts two different type of arguments. In the first example it accepts a string variable , in the second one it accepts an integer variable, moreover it accepts different number of arguments, this points to the concept of function overloading which is a branch of polymorphism. C even supports operator overloading: & symbol-- the address operator as most of us  know..but it can also be noted as a bit and operator  too. Hence a single operator can be used for multiple purposes, There is another operator that ...

Here After no more captchas!! - Another step towards Futuristic User Experience..

Google claims that it can identify a robot with just one click. Captches-squiggled text that are used to find spambots. Although it is an effective way to recognize automated bots, it greatly reduces the user experience. To overcome these challenges, Google has designed a Turing Test that can spot a bot requiring it to do very much simple like a “click on a check box” So how does a click of a check box…..can tell google whether you are a human or a robot?.  Google says that the user leave a lot of clues by their way of interaction with the webpage, which reveal that they are actually human, such as the movement of the cursor before a single click,IP address, cookies,etc.. This new method is called “reCaptcha”. Google has tested this reCaptcha in its various services such as wordpress and Humble Bundle(Game sale site), it had an accuracy of 60% in wordpress and 80% in Humble Bundle. As a backup plan if the reCaptcha fails, suppose if there are not enough clues then it automa...

Why Facebook's WhatsApp Deal Is Bad For Users

Facebook acquired WhatsApp(World's most popular messaging Service) for whooping $19 billion just a few days back, which is the largest ventured-backed acquisition in the history. This comes rather, as not a big  surprise given the fact that Whats App has surpassed the Facebook's instant messaging service Facebook Messenger, in the developing economies such Brazil,South Africa,Indonesia and China. Currently Facebook has around 1 billion users and it hopes to gain another 1 billion users through its Global Expansion policy,acquiring Whats App was just the first step in its plans.

Next Generation E Paper Technology.

E-paper technology is designed in such a way to mimic the appearance of ordinary paper.   E-paper consists of thin electronic display, unlike ordinary display it reflects sunlight that gives the readers a much more legible text to read.  Electrophoretic display: E-paper technology consists E-ink suspened  between two transpare nt electrode layers.
