Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Rumored Specs, Release Date, Price Point

 
 Samsung Galaxy Note 3: Rumored Specs, Release Date, Price Point 

     Following the unexpected success of the Note, Samsung continued the onslaught with the Note II, launching a huge marketing campaign which allowed them to create an ever broader user base. The phone exceeded all expectations and Samsung found themselves with a second hit series, next to their popular Galaxy S devices. In all likelihood, the Galaxy Note 3 will be a step up from the newly released Galaxy S4, which featured a 1080p display and Qualcomm quad-core processor in North America.

Memory
     Again, the Korean version of the Galaxy S4 had 3 GB RAM compared to the U.S. 2 GB, and it is not far-fetched to think that Galaxy Note 3 will have same or better.

Storage
     It is hard to say what Samsung are going to decide with the Note 3, but it is our guess that this time they are stepping up the internal storage capacity to 32 GB in the U.S. as well, as apps and media content in general are starting to require larger storage space from devices.

Features
     Apart from its size, the other major thing that sets the Galaxy Note apart from the Galaxy S series is the S-Pen, Samsung's word for stylus. Although the Galaxy S4 received many of the capabilities of the Note 2 that had previously required a stylus, we guess that Samsung's investment in S-Pen apps will not be thrown out the window, but rather expanded upon to increase productivity in the Note 3.

Release Date
     To be announced, but for what it is worth, analysts say the most likely is a release around the same time as the iPhone 5S this year. The carriers that will sell the device are reasonably the top 5, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular.

Price
     Price will again be slightly higher than the Galaxy S series

Lego House - Ed Sheeran


"Lego House"
By: Ed Sheeran

I'm gonna pick up the pieces, 
And build a Lego house  
If things go wrong we can knock it down
 
My three words have two meanings,  
There's one thing on my mind  
It's all for you
 
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm  
If you're broken I will mend you 
And I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
 
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love  
I'll pick you up when you get down 
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now  
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind  
I'll do it all for you in time  
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
 
I'm gonna paint you by numbers 
And colour you in  
If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall
 
And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before 
Now I'll surrender up my heart  
And swap it for yours
 
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love  
I'll pick you up when you get down 
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now  
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind  
I'll do it all for you in time 
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
 
Don't hold me down  
I think my braces are breaking, and it's more than I can take
 
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm  
If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now
 
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love  
I'll pick you up when you get down  
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now  
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind  
I'll do it all for you in time 
And out of all these things I've done I think I love you better now
 
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love  
I'll pick you up when you get down  
And out of all these things I've done I will love you better now
 

Android “Fairphone” looks to give power back to customers

 
Android "Fairphone" looks to give power back to customers

     The “Fairphone,” a phone that purports to approach smartphone design in the most ethical way possible from every conceivable angle, opened for preorders last Friday. The phone uses only conflict-free resources wherever possible, it has an open design, and it is marketed in a transparent way to customers.

     The way many gadgets are made—smartphones and tablets especially—has been called into question by several investigations into supply chains and sources, in particular those of Apple and its Foxconn factories. According to a New York Times report last year, suppliers put out phones hand-assembled by allegedly underage, often underpaid workers operating in unsafe conditions.

     The company making the Fairphone purports to be ultra-transparent about its material sourcing and manufacturing process, getting conflict-free materials wherever possible and highlighting unfair practices with a view toward changing them. The phone will feature a Mediatek 6589 quad-core CPU, 4.3-inch qHD display, 8-megapixel camera, 16GB storage, dual-band SIM (GSM850/900/1800/1900MHZ, WCDMA 900/2100MHz), user-replaceable battery, and microSD card slot. It will run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean with a “special interface developed by Kwame Corporation,” which the company notes is “also open.”

     While we are a bit skeptical that a small company looking to assemble and ship 5,000 phones will be able to have much impact on the gargantuan gadget supply chains in place, the desire to give users as much control over hardware and software as possible is something to be welcomed. The phone will initially be available only in Europe, priced at a flat €325 ($418). Production will begin once 5,000 preorders are in place, with shipments to begin in the fall.

The Greenhouse Effect

     The burning of fossil fuels has brought about many harmful substances in the atmosphere. Global concerns over this particular problem are having some positive effects. Air quality has greatly improved in several parts of the world. CO and sulfur oxide levels are down in most cities. But the level of carbon dioxide and water vapor has been overlooked. Since about 90% of our energy comes from fossil fuels, a tremendous amount of carbon dioxide and water vapor being released in the air. These two compounds are natural components of our environment. Scientists are becoming alarmed over the possible long-term effects of their buildup in the atmosphere.

      Both carbon dioxide and water vapor absorb infrared radiation (heat) given off by the earth. Similar to the function of glass or filter, allowing the sun's rays to enter the atmosphere but preventing the longer wavelength infrared radiation from leaving is called the "greenhouse effect." Water vapor plays less of a role in the greenhouse effect since water vapor quickly falls back to earth as rain. Carbon dioxide is practically absorbed by the oceans. Some is consumed in photosynthesis but about 50% remains in the atmosphere to affect the earth's climate. Some scientists predict that the doubling of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will raise the average global temperature from 30 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit by the middle of next century.

Protection from the Sun's Glare

http://www.selectism.com/files/2012/11/tom-ford-marko-sunglasses-jamesbond-007-03.jpg 
Sunglasses

     Sunglasses protect our eyes against the sun's glare. The sun's glare can cause your eyes to receive ten times as much light as they receive under ordinary conditions. The glare that hits your eyes can be significantly reduced by wearing sunglasses fitted with polarizing lenses. Polarizing lenses contain a tinted plastic filter with tiny crystals that have been stretched into series of lines. This effectively blocks out the horizontal rays of light, while permitting enough vertical rays to get through for you to be able to see.

Chemist

Chemist

     The study of chemistry has many practical benefits. The food, clothing, medicines, and building materials that are necessary to life are products of the application of chemical knowledge. Many of the materials used in such fields as architecture, engineering, and nuclear science are the results of the work of chemists. Without these and other innovations, our way of life would be radically different. 

     Chemists pursue gratifying careers in a wide range of scientific activities. They conduct basic research in the quest of new knowledge and understanding. They are involved in the technology of applied chemistry - the application of chemistry to those processes that supply material needs. They perform chemical analyses, supervise production, develop manufacturing processes, or manage chemically oriented organizations. They do technical writing, work in sales and marketing, or become consultants. They teach chemistry in universities, colleges or high schools.

Acid Rain

http://envis.tropmet.res.in/kidscorner/KidsCornerImg/acid_rain/acidrain1.gif 
Acid Rain Formation

     Lakes and rivers have slowly become more acidic in the last 20 years worldwide. Fishes have started to disappear since that time. Scientists know that most living plants and animals can only tolerate very small changes in the acidity. The gradual acidification of lakes and rivers around the world may be producing long-term harmful effects on fish and other aquatic organisms.

     Industrial air pollution, such as burnt coals from electic power plants and automobile exhausts, release many gases into atmosphere. Some of these gases are nitrogen monoxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). These gases can be transformed into acids when they enter the atmosphere. The acids formed are washed to the ground when rain falls. Acidic rainwater that are collected in bodies of water increase the water's acidity level.

Ions in the Atmosphere

     Do you know that the upper atmosphere contains a high concentration of positive ions, while the ground contains negative charges? The usual ratio is 5 positive ions to 4 negative ions. It is in this ratio that life evolves. Scientific study showed that if the natural ratio were upset, it would be damaging to human physical and mental well-being. An overdose of positive ions is bad, while an overload of negative ions seems to be beneficial.

      Why do you normally feel bad before a storm and humid days? Your grandparent may even say "It's going to rain, I can feel it." Positive ions are produced between air masses and between layers of wind. On humid and dusty days, there is an overdose of positive ions because of negative ions attach themselves to particles of dust and moisture, thus losing their charge.

      What do you feel after a storm? You feel vigorous and refreshed. The air is fresh and clean. Why does the feeling of freshness pervade the air after a storm? This is so because, after a storm, there is an overdose of negative ions that eases tension and pressure. This makes us feel that we are full of energy.

      In the mountains and on the hills, you feel rested. Why? It is because there is loss dust in the air to consume the negative ions. By the seashore and near a waterfall, you feel good. The energy of moving water generates a lot of negative ions. Niagara Falls is considered as the most amazing negative ion generator in the world. This may be the reason for its being a honey-mooners' paradise.

      These are only some of the documented pieces of evidence in the research made by America's Dr. Krueger and Israel's Dr. Sulman on the effects of ions (Soyka, 1977).

      The research on the effects of ions has not stopped. It will probably take a long time before the last word can be written on the subject. Meanwhile, it will not be wrong if you consider the role played by ionization as a physical factor that affects the environment, especially pollution, health, and the behavior of humans.

When I Was Your Man - Bruno Mars


"When I Was Your Man"
By: Bruno Mars

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now  
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same  
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down 
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
 
It all just sounds like oooooh… 
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize 
That I should 've bought you flowers  
And held your hand  
Should 've gave you all my hours 
When I had the chance 
Take you to every party  
Cause all you wanted to do was dance 
Now my baby's dancing  
But she's dancing with another man
 
My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways 
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life 
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…  
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
 
It all just sounds like oooooh… 
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize  
That I should 've bought you flowers  
And held your hand 
Should 've gave you all my hours  
When I had the chance  
Take you to every party  
Cause all you wanted to do was dance  
Now my baby's dancing  
But she's dancing with another man
 
Although it hurts  
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong 
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late 
To try and apologize for my mistakes 
But I just want you to know
 
I hope he buys you flowers 
I hope he holds your hand  
Gives you all his hours 
When he has the chance  
Take you to every party  
Cause I remember how much you loved to dance  
Do all the things 
I should 've done  
When I was your man Do all the things 
I should 've done 
When I was your man

Transparent Apple iPad Concept

 
Transparent Apple iPad Concept

Do you like it?

      Apple’s iPad has become one of the most popular gadgets to ever hit the technology scene, and thanks to out of the box thinkers we are able to see our favorite tablet in a transparent form.

      Whilst it might be nothing more than a concept at this time, the Transparent Apple iPad is one we’d love to see become a reality. Designed by Ricardo Afonso, the device is essentially an ultra sleek transparent version of the current iPad, with a few refinements. Seeing how popular the camera feature has become on the device, Afonso kept intact near the top of the unit, and who would want an iPad without music? The speakers are built in right behind the power button, but the best feature is the fact that individuals behind you would not have the ability to see what’s appearing on your screen. Privacy while still being transparent.
