Google's
Chromecast and Roku's Streaming Stick have both been around for a while
now. When Roku was first released, more recently, it touted itself as
having a huge number of channels, something Chromecast didn't. But
gradually, Google has been catching up. Gizmag decided to compare the
two.

Do you have a stack of speakers or stereo system at home collecting
dust due to their inability to wirelessly connect to your digital music
collection? The folks at Motorola have decided it’s time to modernize
your antiquated audio system with the release of a portable wireless
adapter called Moto Stream, which brings wireless audio streaming
capabilities to older units.
Though smartwatches and Google Glass have
made for some bold and interesting products, you could easily argue
that the best wearables so far have been fitness trackers. But are these
US$100+ accessories worth the price of admission?

While Sony’s flagship Z-line handsets
are all about high-end specs and waterproofing, it’s taking a slightly
different approach with the mid-range sector. With the new T3
smartphone, Sony is providing one of the skinniest devices on the
market, while still packing in some solid internals.

MacBooks can
make for great notebook PCs, but their speedy solid-state drives don't
give you much storage bang for your buck. So why not do something with
that SD card slot, and give yourself some extra (semi-permanent)
storage? That's the thinking behind Transcend's JetDrive Lite.

At Google, artificial intelligence isn’t just a means of building cars that drive on their own, smartphone services that respond to the spoken word, and online search engines that instantly recognize digital images. It’s also a way of improving the efficiency of the massive data centers that underpin the company’s entire online empire.

Watson, IBM's supercomputer made famous three years ago for beating the very best human opponents at a game of Jeopardy,
now comes with an impressive new feature. When asked to discuss any
topic, it can autonomously scan its knowledge database for relevant
content, "understand" the data, and argue both for and against that
topic.

The chemical tree got a bit of a shake this week with scientists at IBM
announcing the discovery of the first new class of polymer materials in
decades. Discovered using a combination of lab experiments and computer
modelling, the new plastics have properties that could potentially have
a huge impact in manufacturing, transportation, aerospace, and micro
electronics.

Getting
a needle into a patient's vein can sometimes be a complicated process,
especially if the veins aren't visible. Vein-spotting spectacles that
see through a patient's skin could help avoid the damage caused by
repeated needle pricks, and that's exactly what researchers at the
University Teknologi Petronas (UTP), Malaysia, are developing. Their
Smart Veins Locator is a wearable head-mounted display that allows
nurses to see the patient's veins in real-time, by overlaying a map of
their veins on top of their skin.

Taking inspiration from the defense mechanism of the bombardier beetle, researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a film that, when damaged, instantly releases a hot foam to discourage malicious actions. The technology could be used as a simple, yet elegant and reliable way of discouraging theft and vandalism on ATM machines.

Most of you already know that Microsoft has launched its new OS this October. But the question is why leave the much successful Windows 7 for Windows 8. So I am going to tell you that why you will choose Windows 8 over Windows 7.
1. Much faster booting : Microsoft has finally listen to us. We all know that Windows take time to boot up . Probably 30 sec to 1 minute. But in windows 8 the maximum time to boot up 15 secs. Yes you read it write and its not a typing error. Windows 8 take up to 15 secs to boot up. It is almost half the time Windows 7 or XP takes in booting.

Microsoft launched its new operating system Windows 8 this October. After XP ,Windows 7 was the
big hit of Microsoft. But after the release of Windows 8 all I can say is this that Windows 7 was not the end of the road for Microsoft. The whole new Start Screen is the main attraction. But there is a lot more of Windows 8 which you can love or hate.The fast boot system and syncing ability with other gadgets with Windows Id. Its all remarkable.
