Flexbook Concept

It seems Fujitsu's got a thing for morphing PCs. Way back in 2006, we saw this mysterious tri-fold concept, which was rumored to be making the rounds inside Fujitsu R&D, and now the outfit's short-listed this déjà-vu-inducing transformer for its 2011 "Life with Future Computing Award." The Flexbook, designed by Hao-Chun Huang, features a foldable 21:9 touchscreen and similarly flexible keyboard that allow its users to switch from laptop to tablet to book-like e-reader. It's also been designed to sport a number of interchangeable sleeves in a Benetton-esque array of colors and patterns. It might have seemed impractical five years ago, but with convertibles coming of age, we'd say the Flexbook isn't really all that far out.[source]

Turn old phone into Spy Camera

Turn old phone into Spy Camera

These days changing a phone is very common amongst youngster and for all. Most of us are having at least one smartphone lying with us and with almost no use. We can smartly utilize it and turn old smartphone into a camera which will help us to monitor activities at home when we are away or at work.

How Easily Turn Old Smartphone into a Camera

Method 1: Download Free Apps to turn your smartphone into a spy camera

Though there can be lots of Free apps which will support your smart device to solve the current purpose, however I would like to suggest Free application called ‘Web of Cam’ and you may follow below steps to use it to turn your smartphone as camera.

Step 1: Download Free Application for your iPhone, iPad, Android device or Symbian

Step 2: Install this app on your old smartphone which will be acting as spy camera

Step 3: Login with Google username and password to Configure this app on your old smart device. Select “Camera” when it ask to select between “Camera” and “Viewer” options

Step 4: Find a best location to place your spy camera which should be in position to cover required area for monitoring.

Step 5: Install same application in your new smartphone or tablet which will be with you to view/monitor activities

Step 6: Use same Google credential to login and select “Viewer” option and you will find ‘available cameras’ and you may select the first (old) device as camera

You are all done. You can configure camera device tobe used for front or rear camera as well as when to put that device on stand by mode etc.

Since this app will work in background all the time, you have to make sure to get your camera phone connected with power supply all the time as battery may not last longer.

Though above method is very good to turn your old smartphone into a camera but there could be problem with your ‘camera’ phone as it will be on for 24×7 which can make your device heat up and may damage sometime. Also there will be utilization of Data/wifi connection all the time. Let me explain another method which can be used for same purpose.

Method 2: Use Skype or other video calling software to turn phone as spy camera

To avoid problems we have identified in method 1, we may use this method which will be using video calling software like skype to turn your old smart mobile phones into a spy camera.

Step 1: Install Skype on your old smartphone

Step 2: Create a new skype user and login with that.

Step 3: Goto settings and enable the option to answer the calls Automatically and to Answer calls only from the contact list.

Step 4: Add your personal (existing) skype ID into contact list of newly created skype on old phone

Step 5: Add your new skype ID in your existing mobile

There you go!! Now, whenever you need to monitor activity at home, you may call skype on new account and since we have setup “Auto Answer” it will start a video conversation without ringing and you may able to see the other side activities.

I hope these both methods will be useful to you to turn your old smartphone into a Camera. So simply follow methods demonstrated above and protect your house, corridors, balcony etc with a smart spy.[*]

Recyclable & Rechargeable: Tiny Power Batteries

Having trouble keeping your smartphone charged throughout the day? Designer Tsung Chih-Hsien has created a Red Dot Design Award-winning concept for a tiny cardboard capsule that could juice up your phone. It's called the Mini Power. You just choose how much battery time you need—two, four, or six hours—plug it in, then recycle it later.

Tsung's biodegradable design, which he also envisions being purchased at convenience stores, eschews the plastic of most disposable batteries, which not only makes the case a little more environmentally friendly, but also saves on packaging. Since each Mini Power battery can just be broken off a perforated sheet, you could potentially buy them in bulk that way.

Disposable smartphone batteries aren't a new idea. They're especially prominent in Asia. Japanese convenience stores, for example, have been selling disposable batteries by the truckload for years. But these batteries tend to be environmentally unfriendly, not just because of the lithium ion batteries inside them, but because they come in plastic casings.

There's still the problem of the tiny battery inside each capsule, but Tsung imagines it would be recycled at the same convenience store you bought your Mini Power from. Drop one off, pick up a new one; rinse and repeat. Currently only available for iPhone later on they will cover android users and other OS as well.

Disposable smartphone batteries are never going to be as good of an option as an external, rechargeable battery pack, but as Tsung's elegant concept shows, good design can do a lot to strip many of their evils away, while making them more attractive to consumers to boot.[source]

Creative Uses for Old Flash USB

Creative Uses for Old Flash USB

Good news: You can stop sketching plans for a necklace made of spare USB flash drives.

There are at least five more practical things to do with those old thumb drives. The necklace is still an admirable project (and would probably complement your Apple wristwatch), but maybe you should consider these options, courtesy of Hack College, first. You can store programs on a USB drive or use it as a secure "key" for your laptop.

Check out more fresh ideas in the video above. If you've found another creative use for your spare drives, let us know in the comments.[source]

5 Coolest Thing about iOS 8

It's going to be difficult to get an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus immediately, but you can get some of the new phones' cool features right now. On Wednesday, Apple's new operating system, iOS 8, is released to the public.

iOS 8 is chock full of new features and it's available for the iPhone 4S and up for the sweet price of $0. Here's a small taste of what you'll get when you upgrade to iOS 8:

1. Easier Emailing

Email is a lot simpler with iOS 8. Before, if you swiped left on an email your only options were "More" and "Archive." Now, when you swipe left you'll be able to hit "More," "Flag" or "Trash." If you swipe right, you can "Mark as Unread."

2. Autocorrect Revolution

Say goodbye to bad autocorrects with the new QuickType feature. iOS 8 will recommend words as you type in iMessage or email. It will learn the kinds of things you usually type and try to imitate your style.

3. Voice Texts!

Once you've got your precious iOS 8, there are some fun features to check out.

First, look at your iMessage. With iOS 8, you'll be able to send voice messages through iMessage. You just press and hold the little record button in the bottom right of your iMessages to record a message and send it to a friend. To listen to a voice message through iMessage, just press the play button or hold the iPhone up to your ear.

4. Better Group Messaging

You can name your group iMessages now and remove yourself (and others) from group messages. Hallelujah!

5. Fitness Tracker Magic

If you've got a fitness tracker like a FitBit, you'll also be excited to try out HealthKit. HealthKit puts all of the data from your fitness tracker(s) right onto your iPhone and can easily share them with someone like a doctor.

Are you dying to get these sick tools? Here's how to get a whole new phone for free:

How to Get iOS 8

Make sure all of your photos, music and whatever else you care about exists somewhere besides your iPhone, just in case something goes awry in the download process. You can back your iPhone up to the iCloud if you dare, or you can connect your iPhone to your computer.

Once iTunes recognizes your iPhone, press the "iPhone" button in the top right corner of your iTunes library.

Then press "Sync" on the bottom right of the screen. Keep your iPhone plugged in during the entire process; it might take a few minutes.

Make sure you have enough storage

iOS updates take up a bit of room on your phone, so make sure you clear out whatever you can before you download anything. There's an easy way to see how much storage you have left and determine what apps are taking up the most space. Here's how:

First, go to Settings. Then hit General.

From there, hit Usage.

Give it a moment to load, and then you'll see exactly how you're using your phone's storage.

Now you can go in and delete old messages, photos, songs, podcasts and books so you won't have to worry about it later.

Download iOS 8

Go to Settings, then General again. From there, hit Software Update.

If iOS 8 is available, you'll get an option to download it. Do that when you have the time to be without your phone for a while. It will take some time to update, so just plug it in and leave it be for a while.

CORRECTION: A previous version of this story said that iOS 8 is available for iPhone 4 and up. It is available for iPhone 4S and up.

Android User: Be aware

How to spot “bad” apps that can take over your phone

Malicious apps can hand criminals total control of your phone - allowing them to run up huge bills, or even steal your identity

Are the apps on your smartphone what they seem? Security firm McAfee warned this week that cybercriminals have disguised malicious software as real-looking banking apps.

Downloading such apps hands the “keys” to your bank account to criminals.

Other malicious apps can hand criminals total control of your phone - allowing them to run up huge bills, or even steal your identity. 

Even apps on Google’s Play Store aren’t always safe - in just one “purge” earlier this year, Google removed 60,000 malicious apps. 

Cybercriminals adapt their attacks constantly - but there are a few clear signs that warn that an app is bad news. 

If you're worried, security firms such as AVG, Norton and ESET offer free scanner apps (search on Google Play) which will tell you if your phone is infected. 

The app that suddenly becomes free

Many apps have a “Lite” version where you get some functions for free - but you should be cautious if the full version is  offered free of charge. The predictive text keyboard app Swiftkey was offered “free” on pirate sites - but had a built-in keylogger which recorded users’ typing to steal their passwords and other private details. 

The strangely familiar app

If you're looking for Bad Piggies, download Bad Piggies - don't download anything that's similar but not quite there (ie misspelt, or with one word changed slightly). Cybercriminals target hit apps with similar-looking fakes - and downloading them is bad news. 

The five-star app with bad reviews

Don’t just go by star ratings - read the reviews. Cybercriminals posted a fake version of hit PC game FTL on Google’s Play Store earlier this year - and it garnered five-star ratings, because users were forced to rate the app before it would work. It didn’t work at all, of course - but the criminals earned a tidy sum before the app was pulled. 

The app that arrives early

If you’re waiting for the release of a big game or app, and it pops up a week early, be very wary. Earlier this year, scammers released malicious software disguised as BBM - BlackBerry’s messaging software - for Android, on a rumoured launch date. BlackBerry had dismissed the rumour - but 100,000 victims downloaded the app.

The screensaver that needs to send SMS

When you’re installing any Android app, look carefully at the “permissions” it requires - a list of phone functions it needs to access. Dodgy apps will request access to large amounts of information – all your text messages, or all network communications. If an app is requesting this sort of stuff, and it’s just a screensaver, alarm clock or photo editor, don’t install.

The first-timer

Apps without star ratings are usually bad news - why hasn’t anyone reviewed them? When shopping for Android apps, you should think like you’re on eBay - ie has the developer done any other apps? Are there good ratings for them? What does their website look like? 

The one from the “bargain” app store

Stores such as Google Play, Amazon’s App Store and GetJar DO sometimes have “bad” apps - but they remove bad apps when detected. Other sites don’t. Be particularly wary of any site offering “free” apps - or sites which review apps, and offer a link to download direct from the review.  [source]

Portable Projector

Kickstand Projector : Redefines the Portable Projector

There are gadgets that we have been using for years that has not changed much in form although the internal hardware may have progressively been updated over the years. The portable projector is one of these items. The projector has slimmed down from the bulky and ugly box that weighs a ton to a svelte little box that is basically a smaller and less bulky version of the original. The Bem Kickstand Projector from bēm wireless takes the portable projector and reinvents the wheel, culminating in a design that is pure, simple and functional. If Apple made projectors, they will probably look a lot like the Bem Kickstand Projector.

There are plenty of small sized and compact projectors on the market today. The Bem Kickstand Projector is not the smallest and neither is that its strong point. The beauty of the projector is how every part functions and incorporates into the overall design of the product. The stylish aluminium band that surrounds the projector gives it an elegant look. The same band forms a handle and protects the projector during transportation. It also transforms into a kickstand for the projector.

The wireless remote control for the Bem Kickstand Projector doubles up as the lens cover. The projector can project an image with a native graphics display resolution of 1280 x 800 WXGA up to 96″ with the DLP LED bulb that has a brightness of up to 400 ANSI lumens. Video input is via HDMI or it can also read directly from a USB drive without the use of a computer.Source[1]
