To nobody’s surprise, this particular idea has its roots in Russia. Startup called Synapse Labs is working on an ”intelligent” billboards. Their intelligence is said to depend upon having cameras and an advanced mechanical learning feature that allows them to recognize brands of passing vehicles. Mercedes driving by will make the billboard feature a high-end product, while a passing Bonra’s driver might check the latest price of a sack of potatoes. While the above may or may not be an exaggeration, the billboards will work in exacly that way – by showing a ...

Are you using Instagram? Have you ever downloaded apps that promised to increase your number of followers? Congrats, I don’t like you and think you are stupid, plus, you are probably being hacked as we speak. Serves you right. Anyhoo… ESET has identified thirteen spyware applications advertised as to increase the number of likes and comments under user’s posts. Their method of work can be summarized as thus: after installing an app, user cannot properly log in into their Instagram account. After a few failed attempts, the narcissus… I mean, Instagram user is prompted ...

… only exist in the designer’s heads, at least for now. This is how all inventions start, though, so do not worry, we will get to drive around like the Jetsons did yet. Transport service dreamed about by Airbus is called Pop Up and is, basically, a four-wheeled, two-person capsule. First, the capsule appears at the transportee’s location and drives her/him/them to the nearest landing pad. There, a drone picks the capsule up and takes over to bring the users to their destination. Airbus revealed that it plans first test runs (flies) of the service in 2017, but it will ...

When Chuck Norris does a push-up, he actually pushes the Earth down – this and many other facts about the world’s greatest action hero must have been on the mind of Flaregames, makers of Nonstop Chuck Norris. It is an action game in which the player takes the role of Chuck Norris’s sidekick, and together with the hero fight off bazillion bad guys. The game is free to play, with possible in-game transactions (well, duh), and is available on both Android and iOS.I have no idea whether the game is good or bad, but I know that its trailer is hilarious, as is always the case ...

”You don’t need security, just install a camera”. This line of thought seems to not only prevail, but even thrive. Cameras are fine, but security business goes a step further and wants to create an inteligent robot-guardsman. Cobalt Robotics works on a device called Cobalt (duh), an autonomous robot equipped with a variety of tools that allow him to identify people, items, ID cards, audio tracks, CO2 and smoke. Upon identifying a threat, Cobalt will send an alert and… and that is it, because I don’t see it coming with an electric baton to fend off a thief or ...

Capcom has plans to bring four of its old (okay, not old – pretty goddamn ancient) video games to mobile devices. The first one to roll in is 1942, an arcade shooter where the player takes the role of a bomber pilot fighting in the 8-bit World War II. The game is mostly a straightforward port, with the only enhancements being two game modes instead of one (casual for an easy experience and classic for the good old fashioned difficulty level), achievements and leaderboards.Sim-unlock.net is a system that offers unlocking sim locks of any phone model. We guarantee the lowest prices and ...

Citizen is a renewed version of the old iOS-exclusive app Vigilante, now available for both Apple and Android operating system. Application’s feature is to provide a real-time alert of any crimes that appear in your living area. If available online, app adds a video footage to the alert, so that you can know what you’re runn… going away from when you’re going away from it. Sounds great, right? There is one catch – Citizen only works, for now at least, in New York. Making the app globally effective will be a difficult task, but I for one hope that it will happen ...

Creators of Tinder are working on something called Tinder Select. As far as I understand, Tinder Select is a special Tinder service available only to a particular group of people chosen by Tinder itself on the basis of their celebrity status and/or extraordinarily good looks. Tinder Select users may or may not be able to invite others to the service.In other words, Tinder Select is a closed community dating app for fagg… people who enjoy feeling superior to us teeming masses. Hey, eff you too, celebs.Sim-unlock.net is a system that offers unlocking sim locks of any phone model. We ...

A group of scientists from King Abdullah University of Science & Technology is working on a technology that allows for a remote or self-destruction of a smartphone. Their aim is to construct a special polymer that would be put inside the device. This polymer could then be triggered, by various means, to produce a large amount of heat. Heat would cause it to bloat, eventually causing the bulging mass to break the nearby phone chip. Scientists plan to create a number of triggers that could make the phone autodestruct. Among their ideas are; remote control, light detection (e.g., phone ...

According to analytics firm Flurry, U.S. smartphone users are spending average of five hours per day on their mobile devices, a whooping 20% more than they used to do by the beginning of 2016. Apps are what sees the biggest increase in use, with mobile browsers and even mobile games both seeing decline in use over the last few years. Research states that using apps is Americans’ favourite past time in the living room, beating the old veteran of potato couching, television – even if many of those apps are TV-esque devices in kind of Netflix or Amazon Video.I never felt bad about ...
