Plus Your Eyes And Ears With Google: Google Eyewear

So Google has finally started working on one of the biggest technological advancement as per us. No, let me put it this way. Google has finally started working on what we think has been the biggest technological advancement in the past few years. We are talking about Augmented Reality.


Today, we are here to gladly give you the news that Google is working on a project which they have termed as Project Glass. The basic idea behind the project is the development of wearable glasses that are nothing but Augmented Reality glasses. What these glasses do is scan the area around and using Augmented Reality technology to guide you and let you do a number of things that you would take out your smartphone for.

It connects one through their loved ones while driving, walking or working. No one could ever think of such innovative ideas before Google. But the question arises that is it practical? Will it be accepted by mass?

What benefits?

There are several advantages of using Google’s eyeglass…

• The much awaited eyeglass wear would help the world to emerge as a totally new era because it would make several dreams come true.
• In this fast moving world this will make us “multi-tasking” means working while driving, which is based on hand  free concept and it answers to the laws that creates hindrance in doing so.
• It would add ups to the user’s external beauty as an accessory and not as an insulted or vague looks.
• The concept of hand free product is thus a worth using as instead of having fine technology in your pocket or purse it will be just near your sight. So, you can be through it directly like the iPod ear buds.
• It would not only help the general mass but can create a revolution to mankind as this product could be used by all types of handicapped people for enhancing their knowledge power. Apart from this it is also useful in industries like manufacturing, sales etc. for easier and fast transfer of data and related information.

Here is the video that Google posted to explain more about the concept, what is the basic idea that they have in mind and what all they believe can be implemented:

Surprised? Shocked? Amazed?

We were all three of them at the same time but given that we had a fair bit of idea of what Augmented Reality is, we recovered pretty quickly. As for Google’s Project Glass, we all know when google does something, it does so with a lot of style and with a lot of effort put into their products by their elite team of developers. 

As for the current state of Project Glass, it’s still an idea and requires a lot of time for implementation for sure but who can you trust if not Google to come up with such a revolutionary technology.  Even though it’s not been long since April Fool’s Day so one can expect them to be fooling you yet again and yet we want to believe that they do build and work on this technology for this is totally worth it and totally amazing!

The Crispy & Spicy : Samsung Galaxy NeXus

The spellbound screaming for Galaxy Nexus amongst people since it does disclose in Hong Kong on October 8 shows the ultimate curiosity! The much awaited U.S. version Nexus is now available with slim, speed, strong and of course Android IceCream Sandwich. Thus, this 4S makes Nexus a best Android phone available till date. Though this facilitates 4S yet it does not has better camera and the memory limited which stands as the biggest shortfalls.


When it comes to design, Galaxy Nexus is the best available phone with shining screen, Sandwich and back all best qualities amongst Samsung other Galaxy phones. The light weight of 5.1 ounces and the understated curve make it compatible with human habit and ease of access. It has touch screen, home and soft keys for searching and handling purposes.

The Super Amoled display makes altogether a different piece from Samsung other Galaxy S II phones which have Amoled Plus technology bounded with it. It means that Galaxy Nexus has 1280 by 720 pixel screen with subpixel of PenTile pixel framework which is comparatively lower than that of galaxy S II in terms of density, color brightness and contrasts. But according to Flatpanels HD, it is 315 pixels per inch which is only 11 pixels per inch lower than iPhone 4/4S.



One who is not much particular about color graphics and desiring a ‘handsome’ phone would not leave Nexus for sure!

Although the screen is 4.65 inches long, only 4 inch is available to work with fantastic multimedia, games and others while rest is covered by the shortcut bar at the down.



Android Honeycomb on Tablets is comparatively similar to the Galaxy Nexus in terms of features. For instance, in both widgets can be minimized or maximized on the home screen. It also provides all in one view of the apps with thumbnails pictures. The just one problem it has is the waiting time between operations of two apps.

The world may be familiar with the face recognition lock system in several devices. Similarly, Nexus carries the same feature of face unlocking. Though Google reports that a person having similar face can unlock your phone yet Samsung inhibits such feature as a publicity device in Nexus.

The network access in calls is an awesome experience with Nexus.

The featured camera provides it with the ‘time saving clicks’ i.e. without unlocking it but the quality with 5m.p. is just a hazy one with blur color and wiped darkness. The addition of pictures editing tools like in other phones gives some remedies to overcome the above problem to some extent, as it edits the photo in such a way and saves a copy of it so that the original remains the same. Furthermore, like a handy-cam you can record videos up to 1080 p in Camcorder mode which undoubtly looks amazing with perfect array of movements and no drawbacks on pixilation.

Conclusively, Samsung Galaxy Nexus is amazingly awesome and best suited for starring Android Ice Cream Sandwich in the world. Though it’s a long time for now having an Android specified phone yet the features that Google provides to its OS is beyond comparison in the effectiveness it provides. Hence, Nexus remains the most prominent device to be used and exemplified.

Test Drive The Google Drive In April!

What’s Google Drive?

Google Drive (not to be confused with Google’s existing internal Gdrive project, code-named Platypus) is a web application to allow Google users – those with a Google account – to store their files, accessible everywhere. Let’s hand out 100 Gigabytes for starters, just to have some wow factor like when Gmail was released (and like Gmail, Google Drive ought to start out as invite-only Beta).

Other potential product names for this service are e.g. Gdrive, Google Files, Gfiles, Google Store, Google Zone, Google Data, Gvault, G:\, or Google Storage.

Google Drive also known as GDrive may appear during April of 2012. Google drive is an online file storage system from Google and it has been in the limelight from 2006 onwards.

Mr. Om Malik , who is the founder of GigaOm, is pretty confident that the Google Drive would subsequently appear in the April of 2012. He said that he got this information from “well placed” sources. He is still in a bit of a doubt as the history of Google Drive system has not been very good in terms of punctuality.

There have been many years since the time we have been hearing about the Google Drive. The first time when Google Drive became famous was in 2006 when first rumors about it emerged through the Wall Street Journal.



As of now, there is no official date given as the launch date of Google Drive, but there are chances that it might be released during the first week of April, 2012. Google on the other hand have not spoken anything about the whole story and they are keeping quiet and don’t like to comment on any of the rumors heated up so far.

According to the sources that Mr. Om has, Google would be giving out 1 GB of free online storage to everybody, but would charge certain amount for additional storage space required.  Currently the world leader in storage space – Dropbox, provides 2 GB of free online storage space to interested users. The Google Drive will function in a similar manner as the Dropbox having the architecture of local client machine and an online web interface.

The Google Drive will be having the looks as shown in the screen shot above. The screenshot is a leaked image that is all over the place. Google is keen on keeping consistency in terms of look and feel across all its services so we expect the look of Google Drive to be something like Google Docs service. One more thing that is really exciting is that, that Google Drive would be available for Google Docs services. It would also be specific to a domain.

We expect that the whole process of sharing files would be given a new dimension with the launch of Google Drive. We are eagerly waiting for the Google Drive services to be launched by Google as soon as possible.

Become A Part Of Delhi Police With Android

Delhi Police has recently launched an official feedback app for all the citizens of Delhi. This is a major initiative taken by Delhi Police to reduce the crime that happens on a day to day basis.

With this app, any citizen can report feedback, concerns etc directly to the Police Station Head Officer. The response given through this app, goes directly to the nearest Police Station Head Officer in the circle from which the feedback is given.

This app can help police to trace down criminals as data can be sent to Police directly while the crime is happening. Data can be sent in the form of text, images, video etc to the Police which would help Police in providing better security to the citizens of this country.

The data which comes to the Police from citizens using this app, gets stored on the police phone directory. Automatically, the crime data is reported with the GPS location. The location can also be modified by citizens manually if they want to and then this data is sent to the nearest Police Station.

This is a great system introduced by Delhi Police to reduce crime in Delhi. Many of the crimes do not simply get recorded because people do not have enough proof to say that a particular crime happened with them. But with the introduction of this kind of applications, any crime can be recorded or pictures of the crime scene can be sent to police while the crime is happening. This would greatly help police in tracking down the criminals and reduce the overall crime rate in the country.

We would like to praise Delhi police for taking such steps to secure the citizens of the country and making every possible way to try to help the common people. It is steps like these that would help police earn the respect of common man. Police forces in India work very hard for their duties but all the hard work that they put in are overshadowed by corruption in this country. We hope that introduction of this application would help Delhi Police earn some respect in the hearts of people of Delhi.

Features of the App Launched by Delhi Police – Citizen First

• The user can attach an image along with the report.
• The reported Feedbacks will be actioned upon.
• The citizen can report mishaps according to the various categories, and the reports are directed to the local Station Head Officer.
• The data is taken from GPS or it can be manually entered.

HALO 4:

Halo 4 has been kept under wraps more or less but from the trailer what’s obvious is that there is some high action drama, a superb story line and top notch multiplayer gaming. Also, it features Master Chief and Cortana although these two are the only ones shown as of now; these are the only ones the audience cares about. It is speculated that the game will be out in the fall of 2012. This being the first of the three new part series, and considering that the efforts of around 343 industries within Halo have gone in, the company is leaving no stone unturned for making this really big.

GTA 5- 2012:

It is undoubtedly the most awaited game of the year. Even before its release, GTA 5 has managed to cook up a storm that is refusing to settle. A well received feature of the game, the planes, are back and the map this time is huge but not empty like last time. This time its going to be Los Santos and its country side filled with crazy things to do and lots of fun. “It’s Los Santos and the surrounding countryside – and a very big map” said an official from Rockstar games.

FAR CRY 3:





Not as if the last two games of Far Cry were easy, the third edition is trying two combine the package of the first and second and in the process it is achieving a real tension and fire effect providing ability. The second game itself is so difficult that its getting hard to get through and the fire effects are so realistic it just completes the experience.

Now we have to agree that for a series that has been going on for six years now, this game has been long overdue. The Hitman games give the player a Bond like feeling and the player can actually choose the way in which he wants to execute his kill. You can either don the disguise of a friend of the target or kill them stealthily or you can go all guns blazing and knock everyone out. The new game is rumored to have more for the gamer in terms of missions to be completed.
