Reusable Rockets: Space X

“If one can figure out how to effectively reuse rockets just like airplanes, the cost of access to space will be reduced by as much as a factor of a hundred.  A fully reusable vehicle has never been done before. That really is the fundamental breakthrough needed to revolutionize access to space.”   --Elon Musk

Space X introduced a new concept of traveling, they believe rockets can be reuse for covering distance. Space X launched their first rocket by the name of “Flacon 9” it cost around $54 million and it consumes the fuel around $200,000 which is 0.37% of the total cost of Rocket. Falcon 9 cost is similar to normal aircrafts, usually they conduct multiple flights on daily basis and thousands of flights during its lifetime. Space X also introduced a platform similar to airlines but way more faster, in general rockets are burned completely and remains of it are useless. Elon Musk succeeding in developing a model that can sustain the reentry friction and pressure applied the orbit circle of Earth (or any other planet).

Currently they are running Beta tests for their project as according to their vision and mission by the end of 2024 Elon Musk believe humanity will colonize mars and people will be able to cover such distance in the matter of days. Rocket traveling will be commercialized, people will be able to explore the new dimensions of traveling.

PlayStation 5

Since release of Ps4 on Nov 15, 2013 it has been a huge hit in the gaming world and has been famous for giving the best experience to users using Unreal Engine 4 technology. Though now it is end of an era for PlayStation 4 and gamers are turning and waiting for the long waited Ps5. Currently Sony is creating a hype and keeping release date a secret but we know that a PlayStation 5 release date will definitely be a one day exist, thanks to Sony Interactive Entertainment's President and CEO Shawn Layden confirming as much in an interview with Golem.de. On an interview with Financial Times the Sony president Kenichiro Yoshida confirmed that Sony is working on next generation console which will enhance user experience.

Early in May 2018, Sony interactive CEO John Kodera revealed that Ps5 won’t be releasing anytime soon then 2021. Even though no one knows exactly what is Sony working on and how are they going to present themselves and how are they going to stand out in this competitive market, so far the good news is that Sony is working on its new console. There is no confirmed date given by Sony on release of Ps5 but there is a word in the gaming communities and they are counting 2020. With arrival of 4K televisions and Ps4 pro it is expected that Ps5 would be a massive upgrade of Ps4 pro. Since there is no confirm dates for anything, So mark your calendars for 2019, 2020 and 2021.

Ps5 The VR effect:

In the world of gaming console manufacturing Sony is the first one to jump into this untapped market, thanks to PlayStation VR. If you experience PlayStation VR technology on Ps4 Pro, it shows the beauty and enhanced experience of how much better it can look on PlayStation 5. Currently VR wherever being used is working on low graphics and not so on the top of the quality animations, Ps4 Pro pushes the base limits which makes gamers wait a little more for Ps5.

Ps5 Competition:

In spite of the fact that we're repulsively anxious for news of a PlayStation 5 discharge date, we can't blame Sony for taking an additional couple of years to truly drain the remainder of the PS4, given it's immense and steadfast player base. All things considered, the PS4 Pro is still moderately new to the market and its immediate rival, the Microsoft's Xbox One X, is a considerably later discharge. If we're honest, we can't really see any urgent need to start a new generation right now. And given Microsoft's growing commitment to backwards compatibility, we think it's key for Sony to really think carefully about its next steps.

What’s new with Samsung Note 9?

Galaxy Note 9 has been one of the hit for Samsung in the technological world in 2018. Note 9 has a reputation as bleeding edge phone in the note series. It is the first with multi window software for running two different applications at the same time and consists of curved edge screen. The new Galaxy Note 9 starts from 999$ and it includes an S pen that improves the remote control in this device.

What’s new with Samsung Note 9?

S Pen: Now the stylus pen comes with a Bluetooth control, so it can be used for presentations, music control and taking pictures.

Huge Battery: Samsung Note 9 has a huge battery of 4000mAh which is the biggest in Samsung handset history. This is a huge step up if compared with Note 8 (3300mAh) but upon performance check Note 9’s battery wasn’t able to come up to expectations and it showed only marginal improvements

AI Camera: The camera on the Note 9 can recognize 20 different scenes and can adjust in complex light situations to obtain the best results

Water Cooled: This monster uses a water carbon fiber cooling system to prevent heat to increase efficiency and to deliver sustained high performance.

Design: The most appealing feature of any phone is design and Note 9 has now been introduced in two elegant colors. It comes in Lavender Purple and Ocean Blue version, but Lavender Purple appears to capture most of the market due to its eye-catching elegance. However, ocean blue version is equipped with a yellow S pen, which writes in yellow on-screen memo mode. Shortly after release of Note 9, Cloud Silver and Midnight black colors were also introduced in the market and Samsung plans to sell them as their exclusive product with a premium price.

Though Note 9 is a beautiful phone but it takes a keen eye to differentiate between Note 8 and Note 9 as both are 6.4 inches long and 0.34 inches deep. Difference occurs in weight of both phones; the new Note 9 is slightly lighter the Note 8 but holding both the devices wouldn’t make such a difference as the weight is slightly low. The biggest change is the fingerprint sensor, which Samsung wisely moved from beside the dual-lens camera to beneath it. This makes it easier for those of us with small hands to easily unlock the phone without straining our stubby fingers.

Domestic Robots

House chores are a part of life whether one likes it or not. In this fast moving world, it becomes even harder as one’s presence in various other errands is needed just as much. Technology continues to make life easy with innovations that were not believed possible in the past. One of these innovations is of domestic robots that are designed to make life easier by performing these tasks for the owner.

From dishes to dry-cleaning, mopping to lawn mowing, these robots tend to replace human labor and thus increase the efficiency in results. This is not a new concept of computerized houses; there are technologies like driers, remote controls, dishwashers, that have taken place of manual house handling.

The automated carpet cleaners called Roomba may not be a fully functioning vacuum cleaners, but they sure are much advanced than the former machine. With the facilitation of internet connectivity, these robots can have scheduled cleaning routines, which can be assigned from smartphone apps. You don’t have to carry them around to their place either, these machines return to their stations when the battery runs out. Similar is the case with rob mowers. Even though they are not as powerful as the manual lawn mowers, they too can have scheduled tasks and can perform without supervision.

The task of dry cleaning also tends to be reduced to a zero with the Swash that has the “precision for misting” and “rapid thermal drying” and can takes as less as 10 minutes. The machine works on different kind of fabrics and is capable of delicately handling material like cashmere. With this technology, you don’t have to worry about odor or wrinkles on your clothes. This slim designed robot can fit beside your closet or even inside it. This, however, does not mean you can completely avoid a trip to the pros since this machine is not meant to entirely replace professional dry cleaner. It merely extends the life of your outfits.

It looks like household chores get easier day by day and the humans have all the time to carry out other activities without worrying about running late for work or any other event.

Fold On- Samsung will be right back

We all know how smartphones have been competing to mark their worth in the market arena. There have been so many innovations to attract customer attention and loyalty. With its creative edge screen technology, Samsung has won the hearts of many and succeeded in marking its position among the most well reputed brands for smartphones. However, the company continues to expand their creativity in their attempts to execute ideas that were merely a concept. Samsung will now show us how a foldable smartphone looks like.

There have been speculations for the phone to be called Galaxy X or F, but there still has been no confirmation on behalf of Samsung for the name of the device. Although, they are expected to launch the details in the annual Samsung Developer Conference. There are still some rumors as to what the specifications of the phone might be and we can expect it to have a 7nm processor in the new foldable phone along with specially designed gaming specification.

The new display is known to be the ‘Infinity Flex Display” which as the name suggests can be folded and unfolded for infinite times without compromising on the display quality or causing any wear and tear. The screen is reported to be 7.3 inches in folded position. Not much has been revealed about the design so far, but we do know that Samsung plans to launch it in market in the coming months.
