Ex-Google Engineers Create Surface Tablet Clone

Three ex-Google engineers have created a Microsoft Surface clone

Microsoft’s Surface tablet has inspired a few clones during its short history, but the latest rip off comes from three ex-Google engineers. Jeremy Zhou, David Ko, and Ben Luk used to work on products like Google Maps and search at the web giant, and formed Jide Technology in 2014 to create a combined tablet and laptop. The result is an "ultra tablet" with a magnetically attached keyboard and a kickstand that all looks identical to Microsoft’s Surface tablet. Jide Technology hasn’t just stopped at the hardware, though. Even the "Remix OS" rips off Microsoft’s work in various ways, including a mail client that’s a straight copy.

Android-Powered Nokia N1 Tablet Finally Gets Released

Nokia's very first Android tablet, the Nokia N1, is now finally available
to buy for only $260. However, shipping times may be quite extended
as the first batch of devices sold out within minutes.


NOKIA SURPRISED MANY with the unveiling of the Nokia N1 , an Android 5.0
Lollipop-powered tablet that gives the Nexus 9 and iPad Mini 3 a run for their
money when it comes to specifications.
The Nokia N1 sees the firm fully turning its back on Windows following its split
from Microsoft, and looking finally to make its mark on the tablet market
having equipped the slate with a 64-bit Intel processor, high-resolution display
and a fully-aluminium body.


The Nokia N1 seemingly came out of nowhere, marking itself as the Finnish
firm’s virginal take on tablets, and its first product since the Microsoft
branding split.


The Nokia N1's resemblance to Apple's compact tablet is uncanny - and, to
anyone who recalls Nokia's distinctive design work fondly, perhaps a little
heart-breaking.

Why you don't need God: Ryan Bell

Meet Ryan Bell, former pastor turned atheist, who says we
don't need a divinity to find meaning and that the absence of God has made him appreciate life and its potential even more.


Ryan Bell is a writer and speaker on the topic of religion and irreligion in America. In January 2014, Ryan began a yearlong journey to
explore the limits of theism and the atheist landscape in the United States.


He says it was January 2014 and I was sitting on the beach in Malibu looking
out at the seemingly endless Pacific Ocean, ebbing and flowing. I had just begun
a personal project of challenging my lifelong assumption that God exists.

You see, I had been a Seventh-day Adventist pastor for 19 years. I resigned
from my pastoral position the year before , but now I stepped away from my
faith altogether. It was a gut-wrenching decision but I couldn't see any other
way to find peace and clarity. I encountered major theological differences with
my denomination and evangelical Christianity in general, including the way it
marginalizes women and LGBT people.

IntoCircuit Power Castle 11,200 mAh Power Bank Review

Currently, used batteries last for no longer than a couple of
days. Processors, graphical units, and the Android OS itself
require lots of juice. Simple loading using the AC charger may
be not enough, especially while you’re traveling.

A few years ago, you could have simply swapped the battery
and continued to enjoy your phone. However, many current
handsets, especially high-end ones, have built-in batteries, so
all you can do while traveling is use a portable power bank
battery charger. While this may sound a little odd, the power
bank technology has come a long way and if you haven’t
already got one, you may want to consider looking into them.

Electronics firm LG has shown off a second
version of its curved smartphone at the
Consumer Electronics Show.

The LG G Flex 2 is smaller than its predecessor and its display can now handle high-definition images.

Gadget-watchers were divided over the phone, with some praising its performance while others were unimpressed.

LG has not said when the phone will go on sale nor said how much it will cost.

torso protection in a crash. (Alpinestars)

Though some motorcyclists wear little more
than swimsuits, most try to temper their
desire for two-wheeled exhilaration with a
dose of self-regard.

Alpinestars, the cycle-sports outerwear
company, seems to have scored one for the
safety-minded. The company – with offices in
northern Italy, Los Angeles and Tokyo – has
developed an airbag system that cushions
riders’ torsos in case of a crash.

The world’s first supermodel: Evelyn Nesbit

Evelyn Nesbit achieved great fame more than
a century ago as a model. She revolutionised
cultural life, writes Lindsay Baker.

What makes a supermodel? A preternatural
beauty, of course, but there is more – a
certain charisma, an unerring fashion instinct,
a steely resilience, sex appeal. And a mere
model becomes a ‘super’ when she becomes
not only stratospherically famous, but also
when she somehow encapsulates her era. The
supermodel provides a snapshot of a moment
in time because she is always at the epicentre
of the fashionable cultural life of her time –
and at its vanguard. Every decade has their
supers, from impish, mini-skirted,
swinging-‘60s icons Jean Shrimpton and
Twiggy to quirky Cara Delevingne today.

But the phenomenon goes back further than
Twiggy, to the very start of the 20th Century,
when the world’s first ever supermodel rose to
fame. Evelyn Nesbit, a willowy, copper-haired
beauty from Philadelphia, was the most
sought-after artists’ and fashion model in
America’s Gilded Age. Her life was turbulent
and eventful, and her fame peaked when she
became embroiled in a murder, and what was
then dubbed ‘the trial of the century’.

occasional use. Instead they are usually
used as background apps and opened only
when needed. These communicators are
very popular but are still far behind SMS,
which is in use by almost every phone in the
world.

Alcatel Announces Phones Able to Run Android, Firefox OS and Windows Phone

My long awaiting request is always here, imagine a device with the capability to run multiple OPERATING SYSTEM (OS).

Most personal computers can run multiple
operating systems right out of the box.
However, things get a bit trickier when
considering smartphones. Only a few
devices can run more than one OS and this
is usually achieved through some really
advanced reverse engineering and hacking.
Alcatel, which recently acquired the Palm
brand, has started the year with a big
announcement. The OEM is going to release
its new Pixi 3 phone series able to run three
operating systems independently: Android,
Windows Phone, and Firefox OS. The Pixi 3
comes in four variants: three LTE models

India 'jihadi' web blocking causes anger

Some argue the blocks are at odds with India's
hope of becoming a major technology hub
A government block on more than 30 high-
profile websites has caused anger across India.
India's Department of Telecoms ordered the
blocking of the sites in order to prevent the
publicising of "jihadi activities".
After considerable pressure, four of the sites -
Weebly, Vimeo, Daily Motion and Github - were
unblocked.
Officials said the other sites would have their
blocks lifted if they complied with the "law of
the land".
The Indian Ministry for Communication and
Information Technology said in a statement: "It
was stated that Anti National group are using
social media for mentoring Indian youths to
join the Jihadi activities."
It went on to say that the primary concern was
that users posting material on the sites did not
require any authentication, and that identities
could be hidden.
The four websites that have been unblocked
were said to have worked with the Indian
government to address concerns - although it
is unclear what changes, if any, have been
made.
