The Smart Rifle "Tracking Point" rifle

A new rifle is on sales and it's not like any other. It uses lasers and computers to make shooters very accurate. A startup gun company in Texas developed the rifle, which is so effective that some in the shooting community say it should not be sold to the public.
It's called the TrackingPoint rifle. On a firing range just outside Austin in the city of Liberty Hill, a novice shooter holds one and takes aim at a target 500 yards away. Normally it takes years of practice to hit something at that distance. But this shooter nails it on the first try.
The rifle's scope features a sophisticated . The shooter locks a laser on the target by pushing a small button by the trigger. It's like a video game. But here's where it's different: You pull the trigger but the gun decides when to shoot. It fires only when the weapon has been pointed in exactly the right place, taking into account dozens of variables, including wind, shake and distance to the target.
The rifle has a built-in laser range finder, a ballistics computer and a Wi-Fi transmitter to stream live video and audio to a nearby iPad. Every shot is recorded so it can be replayed, or posted to YouTube or Facebook.

 

"Think of it like a smart rifle. You have a smart car; you got a smartphone; well, now we have a smart rifle," says company President Jason Schauble. He says the TrackingPoint system was built for hunters and target shooters, especially a younger generation that embraces social media. 
 
"It has a password protection on the scope. When a user stores it, he can password protect the scope that takes the advanced functionality out. So the gun will still operate as a firearm itself, but you cannot do the tag/track/exact, the long range, the technology-driven precision-guided firearm piece without entering that pass code," he says.
Schauble says demand has been "overwhelming." TrackingPoint now has a waiting list. Others are interested, too: Rifle maker Remington Arms wants to use the technology in rifles it wants to sell for around $5,000.

Flexible Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Active almost ready for launch

A limited Edition of the Galaxy Note 3 with a flexible screen may arrive in November.

Samsung is reportedly introducing the Galaxy Note 3 Active next month, a version of the phone launched just weeks ago that incorporates Samsung's new YOUM flexible OLED display technology. A Samsung official supposedly confirmed the release with the Asian Daily, but the company currently hasn't released any official information.

Sources claim this version of Samsung's phone will come packed with a high-end metal chassis. The device will also be joined by a second, cheaper model seemingly addressing the iPhone 5C with an LCD screen and lower mainstream hardware. Whether these two devices actually make it outside Samsung's home market of Korea is unknown at this point.
The company is expected to produce around 1.5 million 5 inch to 6 inch flexible displays starting in November if Samsung can achieve 100 percent yields at its factories. But even if the company managed 60 percent yields, Samsung could still produce around 1 million panels a month, enough to supply a limited edition flagship product.

However don't expect to see a super curvy phone shaped like a banana, but a thinner, lighter form factor with a screen highly resistant to major damage. Unlike LCD screens that have six layers, the flexible display tech contains only four layers: film-based TFT and encapsulation (AKA "encap") layers instead of glass substrates, the organic layer and the polarizer.
Samsung was originally believed to be introducing its flexible OLED tech in the Galaxy Note 3 announced at the beginning of the month, but obviously that didn't happen. Then rumors pointed to a Limited Edition model packing the flexible tech to be released after LG's Vu 3 that was also supposedly packed with a flexible display. LG didn't produce the screen either, but settled on the 5.2 inch IPS panel with the signature 4:3 aspect ratio.

So now we're looking at November for both companies to produce smartphones with flexible displays. Both are obviously in a race to get the tech on the market first, but in no hurry to produce utter junk. LG and Samsung originally revealed their flexible solutions back in January during CES 2013 in Las Vegas, but in June LG said that production of flexible screens likely wouldn't begin until 4Q 2013 for both in-house devices and those built by other manufacturers.

BBM for Android and iPhone Not Launching This Week

Lots of android and iphone user are waiting for the release of this bbm for all latform
 
Poor BlackBerry. Though the company announced major layoffs on Friday afternoon, things were supposed to look up on the weekend with the release of BBM for iOS and Android. Though the iOS roll-out started as planned, it was soon halted, and the Android roll-out never got off the ground at all. BlackBerry said that an unreleased version of the BBM for Android app that leaked early "caused issues" and that it would keep users posted on a release.

Unfortunately, it seems that release won't be anytime soon. Andrew Bocking, head of BBM at BlackBerry, has said he doesn't anticipate launching BBM for Android this week. Bocking says that the unreleased version of BBM for Android was an older version and that it contained an issue that resulted in higher than normal data traffic for each active user. This in turn impacted the system after one million people downloaded the unofficial app. The Saturday version addressed these issues, but BlackBerry wouldn't be able to block the users of the unreleased version if the new, official release was launched.

Bocking says there's a team working on blocking the unreleased version when the official BBM for Android app goes live and reinforcing the system so that something like this doesn't happen again in the future. The moral of the story is that good things come to those who wait. And we're going to be waiting a while. Unfortunately, Bocking didn't mention how or why this affects the launch of the BBM for iPhone application, just that it had to be paused as a result of the issue with Android, so it looks like iPhone users are going to be waiting too.

How to create a wireless hotspot on your laptop

Do you have an internet connection on your laptop and would like to share this connection to other devices like your smart phone, tablet pcs, blackberry phones, android devices, Iphones and so many others through wifi?

There are two ways of achieving this:
1. Using the "netsh" command on cmd.exe
2. Using a special 3rd party software called Virtual wifi router.

Lets start with method 1, Using the "netsh" command:

The Network Shell utility was developed to help users configure network devices in both client and server editions of Windows. The support for configuring WLAN using netsh was first introduced in Windows Vista, and it’s now available in Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Using netsh wlan command, one can easily use hosted network (virtualization) feature to create a virtual wireless connection. 
 
Step 1: Run cmd.exe as administrator.

just type cmd on Start Screen, right-click it and select Run as administrator.

Step 2: Confirm weather your network interface can support virtualization by typing the following command

 netsh wlan show drivers

 If it  says No, you need to update your network adapter’s driver. If your NIC supports virtualization, you’re are lucky . Now, enter the following commands to configure an ad hoc wireless connection.

Step 3: Create the network by typing in the following:

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=<network name> key=<passkey> 

This creates the network "adhocnetwork" and makes "password1" the network password.

Step 4: Then start your hotspot by typing this command:

netsh wlan start hostednetwork

You will get the message "The hosted network started". If it says “hosted network couldn’t started”, you need to 
disable current wireless network device and then enable it. You may also need to refresh network adapter list from Device Manger to install a 
virtual network device driver.

You are good to go.

Step 5: Now, you have to share your internet connection, 

To enable ICS feature,Network and Internet –> Network Connections, Open properties . Now, open Sharing tab, enable Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection, and then choose the newly created ad hoc connection from the list.as shown in the screenshot above .

Once the internet connection is shared, check the IP address assigned to newly created ad hoc connection from TCP/IPv4 Properties. If it doesn’t assign IP address, then run netsh wlan start hostednetwork command in CMD.

Method 2: Using virtual wifi router:
People who use USB dongle modems to connect to the Internet often cannot use the same Internet on their phones. A quick and easy solution to this is creating a Wi-Fi hotspot through your computer.  Virtual router pro is a free, open-source program that does the geek work for you, allowing you to quickly fire up an ad-hoc network whenever you need one.
Download the software and install. At this point, setup is easy. Enter a name for your network, then choose a secure password with at least eight characters. Finally, choose the connection you want to share (there will most likely only be one choice), and click Start.

Also remember that your computer needs to stay awake and running to keep its ad-hoc network alive. So, change your power settings if there is need

To test your wireless network, pick up your phone or tablet and connect to your newly create Wi-Fi hotspot. If it doesn’t show up, stop the connection on your computer, and hit Start again.
