Apple And Samsung Turns Friends From Arch Rivals

Apple and Samsung are now collaborating as in August 2014, Apple's Chief Tim Cook agreed to begin winding the patent suits with samsung down.In the past there had been a war between these two companies over patents which was started by Steve Jobs, as usual war always cause damage of collateral nature. Both companies suffered losses in legal battles.

Now Samsung and Apple teams up to climb higher in the business of technology.Samsung will now manufacture the main chip for the next iPhone and the displays for other devices of Apple.With collaborating with Samsung, Apple now has access to one of the biggest chip manufacturing operations in the entire world.

But with Google planning to make Project Ara fully functional in 2016 it would be hard to say who will hold the future of smartphones.Read more about Project Ara in the link below

What Is Science....!!!!!

What Is Science? Is it just a word that describes all the text that a book carry? Maybe it's a stuff what all those "so called" great scientists have ever written about? oh wait! it's the pure waste of life cause millions of those scientists devoted their life and accomplished nothing, all they got was failures and history doesn't even remember them.

"Give kid a book, and you change the world. In a way, even the universe." 

 Gandhi once said "Literacy is not the end of education nor even the beginning." That's what science is,it's education. Educating an year old kid on how to fight gravity and stand, how to use friction to walk and run,how to vibrate your vocal cord and make a sensible sound that a human can understand. Science is a religion without God or Messenger or saints or sinner. Science is freedom, freedom to challenge authority,freedom to make new rules instead of following older. Science is everything there is , ever was and ever will be. who we are humans or living beings or almighty ruler of the planet or even the universe ? we are nothing but Star Dust.

It is true many millions have died for science and we don't even know their names but none of them ever wasted their life. They all had their part and contribution to the society we live in. Einstein wouldn't have been who he was if it wasn't for the scientist before him. Science is too big for a single man to pursue on his own. Every so called FAILED scientist didn't died in vain, they told the world "we already walked this path and came back empty handed.Don't go this way find you will not find anything search another approach". Imagine would Einstein would have done all those thing he did if he had to do it from scratch one ? Every single failure revealed a truth a theory. Those failed scientist didn't failed once they just didn't had enough life to see their work through. 

The best thing about science is that you don't have to perfect, you don't have to have all the answers, you can stand on a ground where you can proudly say that its beyond my understanding. All science listens and bows to is reason. Science is one of the rarest and yet cheapest commodity that gives us certainty of things in this uncertain world.There was a time when great minds of world believed that the smallest particle is atom until came along a new theory of subatomic particles. Hell ! there was a time when people believed that sun revolves around the earth. Even today we speak of SUN RISING do we not? But with time and knowledge everything changed or to be more accurate everything evolved.

Science is a path of mysteries one clue leading up to another, it's the quest the thirst to find the reasons and explanations of how things work, how they behave what could the future effects of the actions,how we came to be where we are is their another world? if it is how similar would it be to ours where could be in this cosmos ? 

Science is script of questions that are yet to be answered, at the same time it is  the explanations of the things known to us.

Once you get the idea of science  you'll know that i could go on writing thousands of page and yet i wouldn't be able to describe all it's aspects

I remember few lines from couple of Shows , see if it makes sense ...

Knowledge is power, and power resides where we believe, it's like a game of shadows and even a small man can cast a very big shadow. And so it's said 

" Give Kid A Book And You Change The World "

When I Started Hammering The Hill, People Called Me Lunatic But That Steeled My Resolve ~ Dashrath Manjhi

Andy Dufresne one of the most loved fictional character in the history of hollywood played by Tim Robbins in movie The Shawshank Redemption,which still holds the #1 Spot In IMDB Listing. Amongst many things that Mr.Dufresne did in the movie, one was surprisingly amazing. In span of 20 years he dug a tunnel through the wall of his cell by a rock hammer.

But Hey that's a movie in real life this shit doesn't happen...right?

You Couldn't me more wrong.

It Took Him 22 Year A Hammer,Chisel And A Crowbar.

 Gaya District of Bihar, India.  

Atri a village that exist in Gaya District adjacent to a 300 feet high mountain, was regarded lowest of low in the society and there hence was denied of basic resources like water supply,electricity,education and even medical aid. On the other side of mountain another village existed Wazirganj,it was developed as compared to Atri.They had school, water supplies and medical aid. Everyday people of Atri had to cross that mountain on a dangerous path of about 75km so that they could get resources to fulfill their daily needs and children could attend the school in Wazirganj.Ever since the mountain has claimed lives of people of Atri but as always people got used to the harsh fact.

In 1959 mountain claimed another life ,that of  Faguni Devi wife of Manjhi. While crossing the mountain she injured herself and the nearest medical aid was 75km around the mountain as a result of absence of medical aid and proper transport Faguni Devi died. Manjhi who was born in poverty and had to labour on daily wage jobs so as to earn enough money to run family decided to do what can only be seemed impossible at the time.

He sold his Goats to buy hammer, chisel  and a crowbar.In 1960 he started chipping the mountain in the hopes of making a path,day by day inch by inch he chipped that mountain all by himself. He was soon recognized as a lunatic of the town. For many years his lunatic image spread around the district but some people saw the will and the passion and helped him, not with digging the path but lending him money to buy tools and food. By the year 1962 every single person in the district had known that the man the once thought lunatic has worked out a miracle,he was now known by the name of Mountain Man.

A man who couldn't earn much respect of his society while he was alive craved a path 360 feet long and 30 feet wide through a 300 feet high mountain connecting his village Atri  to Wazirganj. But for man such as Manjhi the fight never stops, after making the path he started on a new journey knocking door to door for help so as to tar the path and connect path to main road. He walked all the way to New delhi on railway track where he submitted petitions for development of his village. In 2006 he then went to Bihar's Chief Minister's "Janta Darbar". Acting Chief Minister was Nitish Kumar who was generous enough to offer his seat to Manjhi, as a gesture of honour and respect rarely delivered to a man of Manjhi's background,decided to do whatever he could to help Manjhi. 

The government acknowledged Manjhi's work and awarded him a plot of land which Manjhi returned back for the construction of hospital. He was also nominated for Padma Shree Award but forest ministry fought against claiming his work was illegal. On 17th August,2007 Manjhi died due to cancer but his legacy lives. Bihar activists demands Bharat Ratna for THE MOUNTAIN MAN

Raiding opponent also ears resources but for raiding a village troops are required which are build by the use of Elixir and Dark Elixir.Defensive buildings are provided which are upgraded by gold only and there only job is to defend.

Apple's Best Ever Invention Isn't iPhone Or iPad....!!

The Only History That Is Worth A Tinker's Damn Is The History You Make Today.  ~ Henry Ford

On January 9, 2007 . Steve Jobs launches the first ever Apple's Device , whose main aim was to converge three basic functions of any electronic device namely Music Player,Phone and Internet Browsing. It was named iPhone and ever since iPhone has been one of the best in the field of smartphones,But when I say Apple's Best Ever Invention it's not iPhone I'm talking about or Macintosh(1984) or Apple 1(1977) . I Remember Watching on youtube The Keynote Address held at the Macworld Conference & Expo, There Steve Jobs quoted Alan Kay "People Who Are Really Serious About Software Should Make Their Own Hardware".  With the launch of iPhone Apple made a major breakthrough in the Electronic World, but as we know Every hardware needs a software so as to make it user friendly , and so Apple introduced its own "OS X (now Known To Us As IOS)" . IOS which form my point of view is the best ever invention of Apple.

OS X the very first version of IOS  was introduced with First Gen Iphone,ever since their had been 8 versions of IOS till date. OS X had a lot of features that were never seen before working so efficiently on a mobile device.Feature such as Visual Voicemail,Multi-Touch Gestures, HTML Email,Threaded Text Messaging & Youtube.

Visual Voicemail:

This feature was first introduced effectively in First Gen Iphone.This feature allowed user to randomly access a voicemail from the list of messages to playback, it may include a transcript of message. On August 2011 Apple was granted confirmation of patent on "Voicemail Manager For portable Multifunctional Device" .

Multi Touch Gestures:

Multi Touch is the ability of a surface to recognize the presence of more than one points of contact with the surface, Gestures are the action/path followed by the pointing device on any particular surface. So Multi-touch Gestures is basically an ability to direct an action of a device through its surface by the use of one or more pointing devices.

HTML Email:

HyperText Markup Language Email is the type that allows formatting of text,insertion of art.Formatting tools such as Bold Italic Underline etc. and art such as image or any other visual effect.

Threaded Text Messaging:

This is one the most adopted feature in field of communication. It's Conversation-like display of messages between the sender and receiver.

Youtube:

Apple devices before Iphone didn't had capability to play videos via web,Youtube was introduced in First Gen Iphone so as to allow users to view videos on Youtube.

Over the years IOS has evolved drastically and it isn't just one of the best but also known as the most addictive user interface,apparently people who once get the hang of IOS doesn't like operating any other OS. The latest version of iOS is iOS 8. With every new version of IOS new features were added,bugs/issues were resolved, interface was made better and attractive and the OS was made faster.

Everything has it's pros and cons so does Apple's iOS. It's brilliant, amazingly designed, effectively fast responsive, user friendly but it restricts you in a lot of ways too. iOS doesn't allow file sharing that easily which in this era is one of the most important feature needed to connect to people, there are third party applications like Xender that lets you transfer media from iPhone but it would've been nicer if iOS had actually made sharing easy. Some Apple devices are only compatible to  limited formats of media like iTunes and do not support any other format which is a bit frustrating sometimes when a user has to convert every single media file so as to be able to play it on device. Even with these two major drawbacks iOS has made iPhones and iPad  major devices in the field of smartphone.

Imagine Your Iphone or iPad without iOS......you can't..right? So isn't it a fact that IOS made the devices(Iphone & iPad) what they are today?

Android Lollipop

June 25,2014 The world's Search Giant Google hosts its annual conference known as Google I/O in San Francisco, California.

In this conference an update was introduced named "ANDROID L" for developers from around the globe. It's been believed that this is the best update android has ever seen in its entire history, This being true there's a another truth that statistics said that Android L also has been the most epic fail of Android as well. Android L version 5.0.0 was launched publicly with Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 On October 15th 2014 with Google stating that Android L stands for Android Lollipop and the OTA updates started rolling out as of November 3rd 2014.This update truly is the best update but the only reason it failed to convince users to install it, is because of its lack of testing. Due to lack of testing the update had a lot of bugs which messed up Nexus 5 pretty bad, which was the first to receive update and so the first impression of software to users was very bad.Only after rolling out update to few handsets Google had to hold the update in, as every single source from soak test reported a Memory Bug.It took Google another month to develop a new bug free version coded 5.0.1 but it too failed to amaze the users so they had to move on to another version coded 5.0.2 . With previous failed updates on Nexus 5 Google took its time to test 5.0.2 on Nexus 5 in their backyard so as to avoid more bad publicity,Meanwhile Motorola pushed out Android Lollipop 5.0.2 to its Moto G 2nd genration in US. As Nexus 5 update never went through Soak Test, It made Motorola Moto G 2nd gen to be the first to officially receive the Android L update.

Features Of Android Lollipop 5.0.2

Android Lollipop didn't just looked beautiful it is also smoother then ever before. Despite of its issues it runs smoothly and feels beautiful.Up until now each Android update has just enhanced/improvised/improved same features but with lollipop they didn't just improved things they also introduced a whole set amazing features.There are a lot of new feature but here I'm just gonna discuss highlights.

1.Material Design:  

The whole user interface of device has been enhanced.Stock Android has a bright theme with white app drawer and colorful appearance of Dialer, Contacts and other default applications of  Android. Calendar is one of the app that has been updated beautifully the whole animation view feels amazing.Notification panel has been made transparent and doesn't takes up whole screen. In all the lollipop is beautiful but still some people wished that they had a dark theme option too.The setting menu that used to be dark has now white background and counter to white background is Cyan color used to represent text and their icons. Every touch on screen triggers a ripple effect which can bee seen in light grey color.The calling screen now has blue card on top that has all the key buttons that are needed for in-call feature and the image of person appears in the bottom of the Blue card.The photo icon in the contacts are now in a circular frame instead of square.

2.Notification:

Notification is the field in which Google just did an amazing job. lets first look at the notification panel. its transparent and takes only the required part of screen when pulled down, another pull on notification will show you somewhat Cyan-Gray colored  tray in which icons of  basic/mostly used settings can be seen. More importantly its adaptive, like if you use some feature of setting on regular basis  than the feature will be added onto the notification panel. up on the notification panel there is a profile pic, battery icon and network icons.

Project Ara...Would it be the last generation of smartphone??

In this age of information, electronics has changed the lifestyles of people around the globe, whether the change is for better or for worse could be a whole other reason for argument. From Desktops that took up a whole corner of a room to smartphone that sits in your pocket, the computing has seen a major revolutionary changes which evolved electronics  from time to time. Microsoft, Apple And Google had been the key players in the field of information. The Google's new PROJECT ARA is believed to create new levels of high. If launched perfectly this project could lead to massive change of course in the market of smartphone. This project seems to have the juice to run all the other smartphone companies out of business. With the recent accusation of MOTOROLA at 12.5 billion dollars and selling MOTOROLA to LENOVO in the end 2014 at  2.5 billion dollars Google made it pretty clear that it has kept all MOTOROLA'S patents, Patents that according to google worth for about 10 billion dollars. Motorola has been the pioneer in bringing dreams to reality, discoveries and inventions are made daily but Motorola has always found a way to practically implement those inventions and making them economically accessible so as to launch products successfully in market. Motorola launched first ever touchscreen phone in '95 so it is safe to say that Motorola did packed a punch when came to patents. Motorola was the one to announce Project Ara In 2013 and since then every company has been trying to get a piece of action in Project Ara so as to survive in the future of smartphone.

Project Ara is Concept to develop modular smartphones that could allow user to handpick the desired configuration for phone rather than to compromise on some levels. Such as some people don't feel the need to have camera in phone so they wouldn't have to pay for camera they can save money. More importantly Project Ara allows to upgrade your phone without having to buy a whole new piece, all you had to do is just buy a required chipset. After a year's use if you feel the need to upgrade RAM of Processor or anything you will not have to buy a whole new mobile all you have to spend on is what you want. Project Ara is believed to be in effect as of end of 2015. Prototypes has been successfully running since end of  2014.

If Project Ara comes out as good as it has been believed to it will change everything, now smartphone could be once in lifetime phone. It could be so affordable that everyone could buy it as per there need. You can buy a simple phone and modify it by high end components or just keep it simple. The choices of hardware will now be in your control. So is it safe to say that Project Ara could be the last Generation of Smartphone or I guess someday in future there could be a better project that might offer new capabilities to the consumer. Still Project Ara will be time stamp and the timeline of smartphone will be divided  in "Before Ara" and "After Ara".
