Does Project Glass represent the next big step in mobile communications?
When Google Glass was unveiled, the tech world instantly fell into two camps. Camp one was excited: we're living in the sci-fi future! Camp two, though, wasn't so happy. It's vapourware! some said, while others worried that Google just wanted to plaster ads on the entire world. Is either camp correct? Let's find out.
What is Google's Project Glass?
Google Glass is the attempt to make wearable computing mainstream, and it's effectively a smart pair of glasses with an integrated heads-up display and a battery hidden inside the frame.
Wearable computing is not a new idea, but Google's enormous bank account and can-do attitude means that Project Glass could well be the first product to do significant numbers.
That's because the prototype Explorer units are becoming an increasingly common site around San Francisco - and Google is even allowing competition 'winners' to pay $1,500 to get these early offerings.
What does Google Glass do?
The core of Google Glass is its tiny prism display which sits not in your eyeline, but a little above it. You can see what is on the display by glancing up. The glasses also have an embedded camera, microphone, GPS and, reportedly, use bone induction to give you sound.
Voice control is used to control the device; you say 'ok glass' to get a range of options including taking pictures, videos, send messages using speech to text, 'hang out' with people or get directions to somewhere. You access these options by saying them out loud.
Most of this functionality is self explanatory; hang out is Google's video conferencing technology and allows you to talk to a people over web cam, and stream them what you are seeing and the directions use Google Maps and the inbuilt GPS to help you find your way.
The results are displayed on the prism - essentially putting data into your view like a head up display (HUD). It's potentially incredibly handy. Also rather nifty is the potential for automatic voice and speech recognition - and Google has given its Glass project a big boost by snapping up specialists DNNresearch.
An FCC filing in the US revealed many potential details, suggesting that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth would be used to send pictures to the screen, whilst bone-induction may be used for sound, vibrating your skull to communicate the sound into your inner ear. It's not a new technology, but certainly does have critics who suggest that it falls short of traditional headphones.
We don't have a lot of the final details on specs just yet - but expect Google Glass to run modified Android, to sport a decent resolution camera with a decent lens and we'd be fairly certain that the microphone needs to be a good quality.
There will be a GPS chip, and the lightweight and flexible glasses design will come in five colours - Charcoal, Tangerine, Shale, Cotton, Sky. That's black, orange, grey, white and blue for anyone that prefers plain English over marketing speak.
The NYT again: according to "several Google employees familiar with the project who asked not to be named," the glasses are expected "to cost around the price of current smartphones." So that's around $750/£500, then, possibly with the help of a hefty Google subsidy.
The latest hints definitely suggest a price that will make them attractive to technophiles.
The developer versions - traditionally more expensive that the final consumer units - were made available for pre-order for $1,500 (c£966).
As to WHERE you can buy the specs; online will be a certainty, but don't rule out Glass making a debut in a all-new Google Store, with the search giant apparently considering actual shops to showcase the tech to those who haven't been following every development.
Who is providing the competition?
Of course, with something as high profile as Google Glass, every major company has been linked with building a competitor.
Apple and Microsoft are Google's most obvious rivals - and both are rumoured to be working on their own equivalents, and Sony has gone as far as to patent a Glass-alike offering.
Is Project Glass evil?
It could be. Google's business is about making money from advertising, and some people worry that Google Glass is its attempt to monetise your eyeballs by blasting you with ads whenever you look at something.
If you think pop-ups are annoying in a web browser, imagine them in front of your face. The ADmented Reality spoof is one of very many parodies that made us laugh.
Some of the parodies actually make a good point by showing people bumping into stuff: heads-up displays can be distracting, and there may be safety issues too. Until Google ships its self-driving car, the thought of drivers being distracted by their glasses is fairly terrifying.
There are privacy implications too. Never mind your web history: Google Glass might record everything you see and do.
There is a red recording light, but the tech certainly raises some key debates that will become more relevant as this kind of technology surfaces. What are the repercussions from having everything you say potentially taped, turned into text and searchable? What are the repercussions for free speech.
All radically new tech brings new potential for evil. But you have to weigh that against the capacity for good and the progress it brings
Google Glass pre-order customers will get regular updates
Those people who paid Google $1,500 for the privilege of pre-ordering some Project Glass specs will be receiving "private updates" through Google+.

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar 26,- Google has picked out 8,000 people who will be given a chance to don a pair of Internet-connected glasses and make a fashion statement likely to be envied by gadget-loving geeks around the world.
The pool selected by Google won a contest conducted last month requiring US residents to submit 50-word applications through Twitter or Google’s Plus to explain how they would use a technology that is being hailed as the next breakthrough in mobile computing.
After sifting through a litany of ideas submitted with the hash tag “ifihadglass,” Google Inc. began notifying the winners Tuesday.
Prevailing in this contest might not seem like much of a victory if you aren’t a technology fan. The winners will have to pay $1,500 apiece if they want a test version of the product, which is called “Google Glass.” They also will have to travel to New York, Los Angeles or the San Francisco Bay area to pick up the device, which isn’t expected to be available on the mass market until late this year or early next year.
But getting a chance to be among the first to experience Google Glass is being treated like a hallowed privilege among the tech set. Some contestants even likened it to winning one of the five golden tickets that entitled children to a lifetime supply of candy and a visit at Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory in the popular movie based on a book by Roald Dahl.
The excitement stems from the belief that Google Glass is at the forefront of a new wave of technology known as “wearable computing.” Google, Apple Inc. and several other companies also are working on Internet-connected wristwatches, according to published reports that have cited anonymous people familiar with the projects.
Google Glass is supposed to perform many of the same tasks as smartphones, except the spectacles respond to voice commands instead of fingers touching a display screen. The glasses are equipped with a hidden camera and tiny display screen attached to a rim above the right eye.
The engineers who have been building Google Glass tout the technology as a way to keep people connected to their email, online social networks and other crucial information without having to frequently gaze down at the small screen on a smartphone. The hidden camera is designed to make it easy for people to take hands-free photos or video of whatever they are doing, whether it be bicycling, running, skiing, skydiving or just playing with friends and family.
Some of the winning entrants identified Tuesday by Google caught the company’s attention by promising to put the camera to good use.
One contest winner promised to take Google Glass to Veteran Administration hospitals so soldiers who fought in World War II can see their memorials before they die. Another plans to wear Google Glass during a trip to Japan so she can take video and pictures that she can share with her grandmother, who now lives in the U.S. but would like to see her native country again. A zookeeper plans to use Google Glass to show what it’s like to feed penguins, and another contest winner wants to use the technology to provide maps that will help firefighters in emergencies.
Privacy watchdogs, though, are already worried that Google Glass will make it even more difficult for people to know when they are on camera.
Google said the test, or “Explorer,” version of Glass will help its engineers get a better understanding of how the technology might be used and make any necessary adjustments before the device hits the mass market.
The company, which is based in Mountain View, Calif., also sold an unspecified number of “Explorer” models to computer programmers last year. The finished product is expected to cost from $700 to $1,500.
SEA-ME-WE 4 (SMW4) submarine cable system pictured.— PTCL Photo
One of the international submarine cable’s (SMW4) has experienced fault in sea waters near Alexandria, Egypt which has impacted internet services in the Far East, Middle East, Pakistan, India and North Africa.
The total length of the SEA-ME-WE 4 (SMW4) submarine cable system is approximately 20,000 km which consists of the main backbone across the Eastern and Western worlds and links 14 countries with 16 landing stations across Europe, Middle East and Asia plus the extension links in various countries.
The international consortium of operators in the region that manages the submarine cable system is proceeding to deploy repair services to restore services at the earliest, said a press release issued here by PTCL on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, PTCL has already undertaken necessary actions to minimize the impact on the services to customers in Pakistan, by making alternate arrangements for internet capacity.
This has been made possible because of PTCL multiple submarine cable systems in Pakistan, added the release.
Customers may experience slow browsing during peak hours and PTCL sincerely regrets this temporary inconvenience caused to valued customers, under the prevalent circumstances, concluded the release.
“What’s his name again? Wasn’t he the guy in that movie with the battle of the bands?” Now, while you're watching a movie on Google Play, you can find out that it’s Jack Black (of course!), who was born in Hermosa Beach and is 43 years old. And with one click you can search the web and learn the fun fact that his parents are both rocket scientists.
We’ve added info cards to the Google Play Movies & TV app so you can easily learn more about the actors, related films and even what song is playing in many of your favorite movies. When you’re watching a film on your tablet, simply press pause and cards will pop up with information about actors on screen. You can tap on an actor’s face to learn more about him, like his age, place of birth, his character in the movie, and his recent work, or scroll through the info cards to learn more about the movie or soundtrack. When you resume the movie, the cards will disappear.
This new feature is offered for hundreds of movies in Google Play and we’re adding more every day. If you’re in the U.S. and have a tablet running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and higher, download the latest version of the Google Play Movies & TV app to check it out. We hope to bring info cards to more movies in more countries and devices soon.

Since Android Honeycomb, Google changed the way to manage internal memory on Android devices. Before Honeycomb, every user had one separate partition on his device called userdata (/data), where he could install applications and where all user settings were stored (home screens, applications data, contacts, and all the rest you loose after doing so called "full wipe" on your device). Apart of userdata partition, all Android devices had microSD card slot to save pictures, movies, backups etc.. Now it looks completely different, but let's start from the beginning. There are several approaches to this subject, I'll present here all those I am aware of.
userdata partition + microSD card
This is the mentioned above pre-Honeycomb approach. There is userdata partition, where you can install all your applications and you also have a possibility to insert microSD card. Nothing more to explain. Only devices running Android Gingerbread and older versions have such configuration, so it's getting less and less popular.
userdata partition + virtual SD card on userdata partition
This is the new approach presented for the first time in Honeycomb. Instead of having /data partition together with expandable microSD card slot of any capacity, Google decided for something different. Instead, /data partition became very large (16/32/64 GB) and inside you can find /data/media folder that contains all the files you can see as your SD card content. How does it work? Without too much technical explanations, there is so called fuse tool which emulates media folder inside userdata partition as a separate storage device. As a result, after connecting smartphone to the PC you can browse the content of /data/media location, so if it was a microSD card. The biggest downside of such approach is a high risk of loosing all your virtual SD card content in case of any serious /data partition failure. Also, such partition can't be formatted with mkfs.ext4 without loosing content of virtual SD card, because you can't format device partition just partially. You can use e2fsck tool to check for potential errors, but sometimes partition format is the only way out. How does "full wipe" work then? Well, it's a little bit complicated. First of all, you can't format mounted (in use) partition. You need to unmount it first. Once unmounted userdata partition, you can't flash any ZIP file from inside recovery, because ZIPs files are stored on virtual SD card (/data/media) and remember that userdata partition is currently unmounted, because we want to format it. There is a workaround for it - you can run mkfs.ext4 from inside /cache partition or you can use command prompt. Now, what if you need to remove the whole content of your userdata partition, but you want to keep virtual SD card content at the same time? There is a workaround for this as well, but instead of formatting entire partition, you need to remove all files excluding /data/media location. Example:
#!/tmp/bash # Remove content of /data partition excluding data/media files cd /data FILES=(*) for i in *; do if [ "$i" != "media" ] then rm -R "$i" fi done
This way you can sort of wipe userdata, but it doesn't format the partition, so you can't fix broken file-system with it. Why this point is the longest one? Because it took me quite a few words to explain the relation between virtual SD card and media folder on userdata partition (/data/media). So basically, what you read here applies to every configuration with virtual SD card emulated on userdata partition.
userdata partition + virtual SD card on a separate partition
This approach is not very popular, and it's a shame because it seems to be much more practical rather than the previous one. Instead of emulating SD card from userdata partition, there is a separate, large partition with vFAT file-system. That means you can format your userdata partition anytime you want without loosing content of your virtual SD card, or from inside custom ROM, because userdata can be freely unmounted. The only device I've seen so far with this approach was HTC One X.
This seems to be the most desirable solution for many Android users. It works similar to approach described in the second point, so everything I wrote about /data/media is valid here as well. However, every user have the ability to insert extra microSD card inside his device, so he can easily backup virtual SD card to microSD card or format userdata partition without loosing all pictures etc. (if previously stored on microSD card). This is the most common configuration for Samsung devices. But having removable microSD card is not only an advantage. First of all, any kind of microSD card (even SDHC) will be always slower than internal eMMC memory. It depends on many factors like card speed (class 2, 4, 6, 8 or even 10), on-board controller, I/O scheduler and more. Secondly, microSD card damage risk is higher then damage risk of internal eMMC memory. Out of question is the benefit to expand the memory with 64 GB microSD card, but it's definitely the minority of power users, who are buying large capacity cards. For the vast majority of users, internal memory with 32 GB capacity is more then enough to store their favorite music or pictures.
userdata partition + virtual SD card on a separate partition + microSD card
This approach is theoretically possible, but personally I've never seen device with such combination. For me, this is the best combination. You have possibility to use external microSD card and virtual SD card is not a part of userdata partition, but it has it's own, separate vFat partition. Such configuration gives you control over all your data and possibility to manage it however you want.

With every release of a new smartphone the same question is asked - will it have removable battery? If you believe that removable batteries are a "must have" nowadays, please keep reading. I hope you'll change your mind!
First of all - there is a solution. Battery banks seems to be a great alternative for removable batteries. You can check my review of HTC Battery Bank here. It works with every device equipped with micro-USB port. Now let's compare both solutions.
Capacity
Samsung Galaxy S3 has a removable battery with capacity of 2100mAh. Typical battery bank has a capacity of 6000mAh. This means, that Galaxy S3 can be charged almost 3 times with such battery bank! If you are going to use your smartphone heavily the whole day, only one backup battery might be not enough for you. With battery bank you can start your day with more then 8000mAh on board (battery inside device + battery bank).
Conclusion: 2300mAh vs. 6000mAh
Winner: battery bank
Size
Typical smartphone battery dimensions are around 6,3 x 5,0 x 0,5. Battery bank I was tested is of course bigger - 9,7 x 4,2 x 2,2. Is it really a disadvantage? I don't think so. It's small enough to be inserted into a pocket of your jeans or jacket. I think there are even smaller battery banks available on the market, so the size shouldn't be a problem here. Also, removable batteries are indeed smaller, but keep in mind their capacity is twice/triply lower.
Conclusion: 6,3 x 5,0 x 0,5 vs 9,7 x 4,2 x 2,2
Winner: removable battery
Charging
Battery bank can be charged regardless of device battery. It has its own USB cable and charging port, so you can charge both devices - smartphone and battery bank at the same time. What about removable batteries? Well, if you don't have a removable battery charger (which costs extra money of course!) you will have to charge battery inside your device first, then switch batteries and charge the backup battery. The risk of braking battery cover latches is quite big, especially when it comes to plastic, which has its own lifetime and bending abilities. It seems that battery bank in this case is much more convenient and comfortable.
Conclusion: charging inside the device vs. independent charging
Winner: battery bank
Price
Original backup battery price is about $30. Yes, I know you can find non-original replacements for $10 as well, but let's compare only original parts. Typical battery bank costs is around $40 - $80 ($75 for HTC Battery Bank). However these prices vary from place to place and may be slightly different in your country, keep that in mind. Comparing 1:1 it's easy to see that external batteries are indeed cheaper. But to make the comparison fair, we need to establish the price/capacity relationship. 1mAh from 2300mAh backup battery ($30) is a cost of about $0,0130, while 1mAh from 6000mAh battery bank ($75) costs about $0,0125.
Conclusion: $0,0130 vs. $0,0125
Winner: battery bank
Design
When speaking about the design I mostly think about device design. However, battery banks looks definitely better and more aesthetic than regular removable batteries. Having a removable battery back cover doesn't allow uni-body construction, like HTC One has. Design is a matter of taste, but personally I prefer uni-body construction over having a plastic back cover. But again - it's a matter of taste, so no winner here.
Conclusion: plastic back cover vs. uni-body construction
Winner: draw
Usability
Practical approach is also important. Driving a car or sitting in a crowded bus might be a situation when your device is out of power. Now imagine you need to: 1) take out your battery backup, 2) turn off the device, 3) remove the back cover, 4) replace the battery, 5) close the back cover, 6) turn on the device, 7) hide your primary battery. So... 7 steps including the inevitability of turning off the device. With battery bank you just need to take it out and plug into the device. That's it. No need to turn on/off or disassemble your device. Keep in mind that battery bank doesn't work only as external battery, it is mainly a battery charger, so after some time you can hide it back.
Conclusion: 7 steps to change battery vs. take out and plug in
Winner: battery bank
Compatibility
External batteries are not compatible between devices. You can't use Samsung Galaxy Note II battery in Samsung Galaxy S3. You can't use HTC Sensation battery in HTC One S. If you buy backup battery for your particular device, you'll probably sell it together with the device or give it as free bonus one day. Battery bank is compatible with every device equipped with micro-USB port and can be your life-companion for years. However, you should be aware that battery bank might not be able to charge your tablet.
Conclusion: lack of compatibility with other devices vs. compatibility with all micro-USB smartphones
Winner: battery bank Device lifetime (added 23-03-2013) Due to many comments under this article I decided to agree with one point that was very often mentioned by users preferring removable battery. However, I think it needs some bigger explanation. It is a fact, that having non removable battery results in lack of possibility to exchange it for new one, once the old battery can't give your device enough power anymore. But is it really a problem? I took the warranty statements from my HTC One X+ and I found nothing about limited warranty for battery (like Samsung have - only 6 months). This means, that once battery is non removable, it doesn't have shorter warranty. So in my case battery is under 24-months warranty service. I think that is a positive aspect for the consumer, right? In some cases it might be also 12-months, but it depends on particular law regulations in each country.
Conclusion: removable battery with 6-months warranty vs. non-removable battery with 12/24-months warranty - both solutions have some advantages Winner: draw Possibility to reset the device (added 25-03-2013) One more category added. Very often I hear that possibility to remove the battery is the only way to reset the device once it's not reacting anymore and system just hanged. This is not true. Every device have ability to reset the system using hardware keys. In most cases it's a combination of 3 buttons: power + volume up + volume down. You need to hold these buttons for about 5-20 seconds, depends on the device. Even if your device has a removable battery, it is better to use above combination to avoid breaking the plastic back cover latches.
Conclusion: you can reset your device no matter if it has removable battery or not
Winner: draw
So what's the score? Battery bank won in 5 comparisons, external battery in 1 comparison and there were also 3 draws. For me, personally, battery banks are better replacement for external batteries. It gives you bigger capacity for the same prize, extended usability and it looks better.

Every day we all see, hear or think of things we need to remember. Usually we grab a pad of sticky-notes, scribble a reminder and put it on the desk, the fridge or the relevant page of a magazine. Unfortunately, if you’re like me you probably often discover that the desk, fridge or magazine wasn’t such a clever place to leave the note after all...it’s rarely where you need it when you need it.
To solve this problem we’ve created Google Keep. With Keep you can quickly jot ideas down when you think of them and even include checklists and photos to keep track of what’s important to you. Your notes are safely stored in Google Drive and synced to all your devices so you can always have them at hand.
If it’s more convenient to speak than to type that’s fine—Keep transcribes voice memos for you automatically. There’s super-fast search to find what you’re looking for and when you’re finished with a note you can archive or delete it.
Changing priorities isn’t a problem: just open Keep on your Android phone or tablet (there’s a widget so you can have Keep front and center all the time) and drag your notes around to reflect what matters. You can choose the color for each note too.
Pro tip: for adding thoughts quickly without unlocking your device there's a lock screen widget (on devices running Android 4.2+).
Google Keep is available on Google Play for devices running Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich and above. You can access, edit and create new notes on the web at http://drive.google.com/keep and in the coming weeks you'll be able to do the same directly from Google Drive.

After the rooting tutorial of QMobile Noir A8, here’s a guide on how to root QMobile Noir A6. I don’t own this phone myself so this was not possible for me to test this method. But the results are positive. Here are some details:
QMobile A6 is built upon the MediaTek MT6575 chipset and running Ice Cream Sandwich. It has a 1GHz ARM Cortex CPU, PowerVR SGX 531 GPU and 512MB RAM. The rooting script by bin4ry that I used on Noir A8 works on Noir A6 as well. One reason could be the compatibility because that script is made for devices running ICS and Jelly Bean.
Anyway, here are the steps to root Noir A6:
Download this file. It has the rooting script and drivers. Don’t worry the folder name is Noir A8 but work on A6 too. Extract the archive.
In phone, go to Settings – Development options. Set USB debugging ON.
In settings, go to security -> tick “Unknown Sources”.
Connect the phone with cable to PC. If you don’t have the drivers installed, it will ask for drivers. Manually install them from the folder Noir A8 USB ADB drivers.
Now disconnect cable and turn off your phone. In off state, connect the cable again. Again if you don’t have drivers, it will ask for drivers. Navigate to A8 preloader VCOM folder and install the drivers from there.
Turn on the phone and make sure it is in USB Debugging phone. Connect the cable. Open the folder “Root_script_by_Bin4ry_v15″ and click RunMe.bat. Choose Normal mode and follow the prompts.
You should have a rooted Noir A6. Check for SuperSU app in app drawer and enjoy!
There were quite a few rumors in the wild about the QMobile Noir A10. Much was speculated about its specifications, but now the word has come out straight from the horse’s mouth.
Yes, QMobile Noir A10 is launched officially. It also has 3G (WCDMA) support unlike Noir A8. Also, please note that Noir A10 is a clone of Micromax A110. Check out thispicture if you don’t believe me. Now let’s take a look at what the phone is equipped with and then we will review whether this phone’s really worth the money or not? Is it wise to get A10 rather than Sony Xperia U/Sola or Noir A8? Our comparison should help you decide this.
Noir A10 Price:
The expected price of Noir A10 is going to be between 16,000 Rs. to 18,000 Rs. This is one of the most important factors which will determine A10′s success. Noir A8 was initially priced at 14,500 Rs. but later on bumped to 15,000 Rs. If A10 comes in the market at a price above 17,000 Rs., is it really going to be worth it to purchase rather than Noir A8 or Sony Xperia Sola? Read below after we list the specifications:

Noir A10 vs. Noir A8
As you can see from the specs, Noir A10 is almost the same as Noir A8 in terms of internal hardware. The chipset, MT6577 is the same as well as the CPU. One another disappointing factor is RAM. It again has the same RAM as Noir A8 i.e 512MB.
The Need For Memory
We were expecting at least an increase in the RAM size because QMobile will sell this set at a higher price than Noir A8. But sadly ,it won’t offer any performance improvements over Noir A8 because the primary hardware responsible for running the OS is same!
Noir A10′s Advantages
The areas where it beats Noir A8 is 3G connectivity, camera and screen quality, only. 3G has not yet arrived in Pakistan and it won’t be fully active until middle to late 2013 IF and only IF the 3G license auctions go well in the start of 2013/December 2012. So, this advantage is negligible so far.
Also, as Noir A10 is the clone of Micromax A110, we expect that it will also offer the same GSM bands. That means, you will get only two working GSM bands — 900MHz and 1900Mhz. So this is actually a disadvantage if you want quad-band connectivity and are roaming around the world and can ignore 3G.
Does Screen Size Really Matter?
A10 has a claimed IPS screen of 5inches with 480×854 resolution. Micromax A110 has the same screen with pixel density of 196 ppi. Yes, it is better than Noir A8′s 4.3inch screen but the difference is not much at all! It already has a screen with crisp, bright colors so 0.7 inches difference doesn’t count for anything here.
The Mighty Xperia!
Sony also has a fine series of dual-core Androids — the 2012 Xperia lineup. Sony Xperia U and Xperia Sola are also 1GHz dual core phones with same 512MB memor and, a very active development support. Also, Sony phones are known for their very fine cameras.
Xperia U, however has fixed 8GB internal storage and you can’t place any SD card in it. You can find it for about 17,000 Rs. So, if A10 is priced at around the same price, and 8GB fixed storage does not bother you, get the Xperia U!
Xperia Sola has the same specs like Xperia U but also has SD card support. You can try to find it for around 20,000 Rs. If A10 is priced above 18,000 Rs., you should probably save a little more money and get the Xperia Sola.
Conclusion And Final Thoughts
To be honest, we were expecting a little more from the Noir A10. The disappointing features of A10 are limited 512MB RAM, again the same 4GB ROM, same 1GHz dual core CPU. Even if it had 1GB RAM instead of 512MB, it would have gone way up the Noir A8.
But in its current form, there aren’t many things which make it superior than A8, except the screen size and 3G support. Now it is upto you whether you want to spend more money on it or go for either Noir A8 or Xperia U / Xperia Sola.
