A rumored surface phone??

With all the buzz over the release of the newest windows phone people are starting to ask the question “Is this phone the one to make or break the lumia line up?” With this question comes the return of the rumor of a surface phone. Now this rumor has been around for a while but has just made its appearance again in light of the release of Lumia’s newest smart phone.


I speak for myself when I say that I would love to see Microsoft put out a surface phone. I think that the style of the surface tablets has been a big success  over the years and with their newest Surface and the surface book I think if they released a surface phone that the chances of it doing well are in it’s favor.


I think one of the things it’s got going against it right now is the lack of apps in the app store. Not many developers have released applications that are compatible with the windows store.

Below are some photo’s of what the rumored phone would look like. As you can see it looks similar to the surface tablets in design and one can hope that the build quality would also match it’s tablet brethren.

Still, it’s nice to hear a Surface Phone remains a possibility for late 2016 materialization, right?

Apple Continuity, iPhone 7 Information

For all you IOS and Mac users out there you may be already aware of Apple's new & cool feature called Continuity but for those of you who own a Windows phone or perhaps an android phone so you may not know what this wonderful thing is. 
        Apple Continuity is "When you use a Mac or an iOS device, you’re able to do incredible things. And when you use them together, you can do so much more. Make and receive phone calls without picking up your iPhone. Start an email, edit a document, or surf the web on one device and pick up where you left off on another. Even activate your iPhone hotspot without taking your iPhone from your pocket or bag. [1]"


iPhone 7 Information 

That's right folks, another iPhone is on the horizon. Let's look to see what this one is bringing to the table with the iPhone 7. 
        Even though most analysts didn’t really have high hopes for the iPhone 6s, sales so far seem to continue their record-breaking trend for Apple. The company has once again surpassed expectations, and it’s hard to predict if things will slow down at any point. This particular factor has lead analysts to already begin discussing the iPhone 7, and today they share more predictions. 
        The latest batch of predictions considers that Apple’s iPhone 7 design will be the device’s major selling point. It seems that Apple is considering doing away with the home button, as i've heard in some interesting reports. 

Whatever the case may be we’re still a full year away from the iPhone 7, so stay tuned for more rumors.

The world in the next Century

Have you ever wondered what the world is going to be like in the next century? I know that I have. With the technology rapidly growing in this century it wouldn't surprise me if in the next few centuries we end up like the science fiction show Star-Trek with all the high tech gadgets and equipment it has to offer. The 24th century is the time era that show takes place in. Just think about it, living in a world were computers are much smarter and more advanced then we ever thought imaginable. Sooner or later we will be living among robots and smarter personal assistants that will help us improve our lives in a larger way.

One major company that has made a huge splash in the tech world is Microsoft, they have made a device called the HoloLens that recreates holographic-interactive applications that allow you to interlock the real world in the virtual world. The Microsoft HoloLens is the first fully unlettered, see-through holographic computer. It enables high-definition holograms to come to life in your world, seamlessly integrating with your physical places, spaces, and things. They call this experience mixed reality. Holograms mixed with your real world will unlock all-new ways to create, communicate, work, and play.
        
Transform your world with holograms.
        For the first time, holograms will become practical tools of daily life. Interact with them to learn, or create something new. When you share your ideas, show and tell from multiple perspectives. Your digital content and creations will be more relevant when they come to life in the world around you.

Next-generation technology enabled by Windows 10.

        Windows 10 is the first platform to support holographic computing with APIs that enable gaze, gesture, voice, and environmental understanding on an unlettered device. Microsoft HoloLens, together with Windows 10, will bring high‑definition holograms to life in your world.

        Microsoft isn't the only major tech related company making huge advances. Others include, Tesla Motors, Google, Samsung, and Illumina. They all have there own respective categories in which they advance but the real question is which one will pull through and be named the King of Tech?

The Safety Truck, By Samsung

Samsung has made the first Safety Truck. This is a Semi Truck with wireless cameras mounted on the front that broadcast in real time what is happening in the front and sends it to the 4 monitors that are mounted at the rear of the truck. This allows drives behind it to see what is coming in front of it so drivers can pass them safer. If you wish to read more on this story Click Here.
