Google has released a tool that lets Android apps run on any machine that can run its Chrome browser. Called Arc Welder, the tool acts as a wrapper around Android apps so they can run on Windows, OSX and Linux machines. The software expands the places that Android apps can run and might make it easier for developers to get code working on different machines. But one developer said it was better to write apps that run "natively" rather than via separate software. Native code Arc - the App Runtime for Chrome - was first released in late 2014 as a way for Android apps to run on machines running Google's Chrome operating system. The OS is used on many netbooks and other small machines made by Google and some of its hardware partners. Now Google has produced a new tool, called Arc Welder, which converts Android apps into versions that can be used with the Chrome browser, not just the OS. With Welder it has also added support for many Go...

I’ve been optically discerning some people reblogging a set of gifs or video of the ”Cicret Bracelet” some equipment that sends out an image projected from the bracelet to the skin of your arm. I don’t take too long to authentically read about the “product”, read about the group and visually examine the video to come to the overall conclusion that it’s most likely a sizable voluminous scam. The group is asking for 700,000 euros in order to make a prototype, just for 1 bracelet, though the first 300,000 euros is going towards an app. Now mundanely when someone wants to kick start a conception, they would make it, show it off, and then go and do whatever a person does on indiegogo or that horrible website Kickstarter to try hard to get money. Not having much and asking people to insert their money into a PayPal account where it is to be never optically recognize again on their main website. Most people believe the video to be a concept video, which it isn’t c...

Chevrolet has developed a mode called Teen Driver, which can keep young drivers safe on the road. Parents who worry about handing over their car keys will be able to spy on their teenager's road skills and even set a speed limit soon. The feature, available in the new 2016 Chevy Malibu, does things like mute the radio if the driver's not wearing a seat belt. A key fob can also be used to set a speed limit between 40 and 75mph. If they go over that, visual and audible warnings will be triggered to tell the driver to slow down. Parents can select a maximum speed between 40 and 75mph and set the radio volume The feature also allows parents to see a report of the total distance driven, maximum speed travelled, how many speed warnings were issued or if there were any driver road skids. Parents can also make sure traction controls stay set and lights are not left on during the day. Chevy and other car manufacturers already offer a valet mode on cars, which limits how ...

Ford is to sell a car that can read road signs and adjust its speed accordingly to ensure the vehicle is not driving too fast. The speed-limiting tech can be activated via the steering wheel and briefly overridden by pressing firmly on the accelerator. The car company suggests the facility will help drivers avoid fines and could reduce the number of accidents. However, one expert said the innovation might only serve as a "stopgap". "There's a plan for speed restrictions to be beamed to your car's computer systems and controlled from there, rather than requiring street sign visual recognition systems," said Paul Newton, an automotive industry analyst at the IHS consultancy. "This would be part an extension of the networks that will connect vehicles, allowing cars to warn those behind them if they are slowing down, which is all part of a move toward autonomous vehicles that drive themselves." The new vehicles will alert the driver to de...

Are You Ready For Samsung Foldable Smartphones In 2016: A Report Foldable, flexible, and transparent displays have been around for a while now, but they remain pure concepts rather than actual products. Despite all the curved smartphones that have come out in 2014 and 2015, we still haven’t seen a truly flexible or bendable phone. Now, a report from Business Korea hints that a fully foldable smartphone could hit the market as early as 2016 from none other than Samsung. In spite of all this optimism, truly foldable phones are likely still the stuff of science fiction. An official from Samsung Display told the publication that although foldable screens may seem highly futuristic, the time is right for this mind-bending technology. “The industry believes that the commercialization of foldable smartphones will be possible in 2016,” the unnamed official stated. Of course, that’s not necessarily a promise that a smartphone you can fold up into a square and tuck in...
