Charge Mobile Battery in A Minute

After the researches, it has been proved that it is possible that the phone battery can be charged in very short time like few minutes. These experiments were conducted on silicone super capacitor.

U.S. scientists have created the tools of silicone which can be used to charge the battery immediately. These cheap Super capacitors will also help re- usable energy sources.

These current sections of silicone chip can be easily installed in the production system.

Super capacitors made ​​from carbon have already been used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems and Wind Turbines.

Scientists from the Engineering Department of the University of Tennessee have experience on different thing to reduce the cost of Super capacitor.

Web Address in Chinese, Arabic and Russian Languages

The Internet’s over lords have announced that for the first time in history, non-Latin language website addresses are under process. According to the US-based Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the online domains in which website addresses would end with words in Chinese, Russian and Arabic have been approved.

“it’s happening-the biggest change to the internet since its inception,” said Akram Atallah, the president of ICANN’s Generic Domain Division. Online neighborhoods with addresses ending in the Chinese word for “Game” the Arabic word for “Web” or “Network” or the Cyrillic words for “Cite” and “Online” have been cleared and more should quickly follow suit, ICANN said.

ICANN is considering more than 1800 requests for new web address ending, ranging from the general such as “shop” to the highly specialized like “motorcycles”.

There are currently just 22 gTLDs, of which “.com” and “.net” comprise the lion’s share of online addresses.

With this new change, many trade mark companies can use their name as their domain. Apple, Mitsubishi, IBM and BBC have registered their requests and Google have requested more than 100 names. 

Reality of iPhone 6

Since the iPhone 5S release, many consumers have been looking beyond the horizon into 2014 and the iPhone 6 release. Specs and even a pending release date are the latest rumors around the web. Most stem from unnamed sources- including inside analysts who risk their jobs to relay the information. Apple remains extremely tight-lipped on any device in production; not even their front line sales team is informed of upcoming changes or devices until they are released.

Many consumers were frustrated with Apple when a bigger screen was not a part of the newest iPhone generation. Instead Apple focused on enhancing the processor with the M7, A7 64-bit chip and the Touch ID. In addition, the iOS 7 has faced serious flaws that include some customers experiencing dizziness upon installation. Consumers are starting to grumble about Apple and many are hoping the iPhone 6 will turn the complaints around for good.

From the specs and release date rumors swirling, including personal, unnamed sources- the following details are emerging regarding the iPhone 6:

Could the IGZO screen technology lead to a flexible screen for iPhone 6?

• Originally, rumors surfaced the iPhone 6 may have a 6-inch screen. It seems that is not the case. Rumors are speculating the display will be larger than current iPhones, at around 4.8-inches but not six.
• Potential NFC (near field communications) technology.
• A possible solar charging feature which would be an innovative step for Apple.
• A potential 128GB storage option.
• The screen feature may include the Sharp IGZO technology, prompting some to contemplate if this can be an opening to flexible screens.
• Could Apple be the lead manufacturer in securing Gaze Detection? This technology pauses the screen whenever a user’s eyes leaves the iPhone screen and resumes once focused upon.
• The iOS 7 probably will not go away for awhile; it is expected it may remain for the iPhone 6.
• Rumors suggest the release date could be in the fall of 2014, further yet are unnamed sources stating Apple may look to surprise competitors and launch late spring/early summer of 2014.
• The camera for the iPhone 6 is slated to provide more megapixels and more modes for picture fun.

Perhaps, the hints of an early summer release are the reasons the rumor mill is exploding. Apple experienced a shift in the market after the iPhone event by a reduction of 5 percent. Further yet is the worrisome glance from investors when retailers promoted 50 percent off the iPhone 5C this past weekend. Can pushing the release date of the iPhone 6 boost stock, sales and interest once more in the iPhone brand?

The iPhone 5C was reduced 50 percent off, causing investor worries

Tech analysts think so. Many tech experts in the field are seeing the path of the iPhone 6 to be a powerful move for Apple as a brand. The lukewarm reception of the newest iPhone releases created frustration from consumers who expected more from Apple. The company seemingly needs a turnaround to enthrall customers again.

BlackBerry showed mobile manufacturers exactly what not to do to remain a powerful contender in the game. Continuous innovation and developing excitement is mandatory to remain in the top four within the country. With Samsung’s Galaxy Gear watch release, Sony’s water resistant phones and LG creating faster processors, Apple has to stake a claim in the saturated Smartphone market once more.

The iPhone 6 rumors have exploded regarding the release date and specs across the web. Consumers want – they demand- a change for their own investment to matter. As 2013 slowly comes to a close and 2014 begins, will Apple once more nab the crown of innovation or remain simply revolutionary?

Samsung Galaxy S5: Release Date, News, Rumors, Specifications and Price

Galaxy S5 Release Date. 

It is possible that Samsung unveil the highly anticipated Galaxy S5 in the Mobile World Congress event held from February 24 to 27^th next year. Initially it was expected that Samsung will announce S5 in March 2014. But Samsung is not strictly following a calendar when comes to releasing their Smartphone. Like Galaxy S4 was announced in March but was released in the following month.

Galaxy S5 Specifications 

The Korean News Web stie Daum stated that Galaxy S5 will be featured a 64 bit processor just like iPhone 5S and they claim that the processor chip is in its final stage of production. The Samsung’s CEO JK Shin also supported this statement saying that Samsung will bring 64-bit processors to the market next year.

Aside from 64-bit processor, the Samsung Galaxy S5 will also pack the upcoming Android 4.4 KitKat, which will surely bring new and improved features to Android-based smart phones. If these rumors are true, it makes sense that these two features would come hand in hand. A presentation at the Intel's Developer Forum event last week suggested that Android 4.4. KitKat will only support 64-bit processors. 

The Samsung Galaxy S5 rumors also noted Sharp's new IGZO screen technology and 4K screen resolution.

Meanwhile, other reports claimed that Samsung will stop the Galaxy S series and will be replaced by the Galaxy F. The Samsung Galaxy S5, or it may come in a different name, could be the first Smartphone in this series.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Price

Although the Samsung Galaxy S5 price is a long way from being confirmed, it has already been suggested that the S5 will cost more than its already pricy predecessor.

According to the same unnamed sources who have claimed a metal bodied design will be bestowed upon the next-gen handset, the Samsung Galaxy S5 price will be bumped up by the new premium building materials.

Stay tuned for more Samsung Galaxy S5 news and rumors as more details on the S4 follow-on continue to appear.
