6 bizarre things that Google is planning
Unusual features that can be part of our daily lives in a not too distant future
Every day , Google surprises us with something new . Be the acquisition of a new company or suggestion of a possible technology through a patent, the company manages to impress and frighten with their outlandish ideas .
In recent years , the company has evolved its services and gadgets , striding with prototypes that can revolutionize the future of the world . The truth is that the company has very outlandish ideas , some of which may never , in fact , the consumer .
Last year, Google has obtained a number of patents that can topple anytime soon . We have gathered in this article some of these crazy proposals that can be very well used or that may just end up with people's privacy .
1. Automatic Photos around you
Thinking of taking pictures of mountains and places of difficult access , Google filed a patent in 2011 that ensured the creation of an elongated device with location sensors , lenses and one button activation able to automatically capture images of a region that is surrounding the person who is using the device .
Difficult to understand, no? Well, this is a product with several lenses that is loaded in the back of the climber. With a stick, the person hits the ground when you want to capture an image. The lenses of the device will automatically capture the entire surroundings. This invention may further be utilized for people with disabilities.
2. Keyboard designed in the hands
Google Glass can be a very clever gadget, but he can hardly understand the commands in a very noisy environment. To solve this problem and ensure a quick and easy way of typing, Google patented a laser projection keyboard that appears in the user's hand.
To be able to understand commands, Glass should be watching the movements with the camera. After verifying that a button was pressed, the gadget returns the character in the "screen". For now, this is just a patent, but the idea and there should not be too difficult to adapt it to smart sunglasses company.
3. His gestures belong to Google!
Ever wonder what will be sharing information on social networks of the future? Google has had many ideas! The most ingenious is the interpretation of user gestures. Just use your hands and place them "heart-shaped" for the Glass interpret the gesture and understand that you likes a particular product.
To see that you enjoyed a any object (either a game or an outfit in a shop window), the Glass can take a photo and quickly direct you to the Google+ post system. According to the information of the patent, the gadget can recognize other gestures, but do not know what Google will invest in your product. Does this fashion picks?
4. Google creates your posts
Interact in social networks is fun, but there are times when we do not have much time to check the postings friend, nor do we have to comment on certain posts. To expedite this process, Google intends to create automatic text you possibly put on social networks.
Analyzing his earlier comments on related posts, Google's software could create an automatic message for you to have greater participation in conversations with friends. According to the data of the patent, the application notifies the user before sending a review, ensuring that no robotic message is posted without permission.
5. Monitoring your eyes to generate better ads
Google already has a vast knowledge in the area of advertising, but it seems that the simple relationship between visited pages is not something that satisfies the company. For the future, Google filed a patent that you want to monitor your eyes and give the user when the pupils are more dilated, knowing what the ad is calling your attention.
This technology can be deployed on Google Glass itself, but can also be added in shop windows and other objects that offer ads. With this, Google will have an incredible system that links the interests of the real world with the virtual world advertisements.
6. Ads can not stop
If you think that monitoring your eyes is not enough invasion of privacy, know that Google can go much further with "advertisements based on environmental conditions." A patent filed in 2008 may wonder how are the weather conditions and provide notices relating to your real environment.
Thanks to the enormous amount of gadgets with multiple sensors and equipped with the Android system , Google can check temperature, humidity , sound, light and even the chemical composition of the air around you. With this, the intelligent ad programs do not have the Google limits to offer the best products .
Very invasive technologies ?
Well, these are just some of the many patents that Google owns and which can be applied in future gadgets and services company . Although they are very intelligent and have " the best intentions " , there is no way to look at these technologies and not feel a bit of trepidation about the invasion of privacy that they can cause .
Will Google is going too far ? Really need mobile programs and taking many decisions for us ? We want a world filled with advertisements ? Give your opinion on the subject .

All about buying WhatsApp by Facebook
Billion dollar transaction involving the two companies should have strong impact on the technology industry
The tech world was rocked on Monday night ( 19 ) by a billion dollar transaction : Facebook announced the purchase of WhatsApp for no less than $ 19 billion . Of this amount , $ 4 billion will be paid in cash , $ 12 billion in Facebook shares and another $ 3 billion in restricted shares will be divided among employees WhatsApp over the next four years .
The values are high even for the technology industry , accustomed to bulky amounts . Purchases by Lenovo and Motorola Nokia by Microsoft , together totaling $ 10.09 billion . Marvel was sold to Disney for $ 4 billion . In a hypothetical scenario , if Facebook wanted to play all the costs of the World Cup in Brazil - until now budgeted at U.S. $ 33 billion ( equivalent to U.S. $ 13.8 billion ) - could do so peacefully and still have at least another $ 5 billion.
Why buy WhatsApp ?
Facebook is now the most popular social network on the planet with more than 1 billion users . Near that number , WhatsApp does ugly: are 450 million active users - representing about 37 % of the audience size of the social network .
More than that , WhatsApp is present in virtually all operating systems : Android , iOS , Windows Phone , BlackBerry , Symbian and Asha line , Nokia. According to information from the website Business Insider , 41 % of Android users , the operating system that accounts for 82 % of the smartphone market , count on the active WhatsApp on their phones .
On the other hand, Facebook Messenger , though popular tool is far from achieving such success . Taking into account only the Android , only 16% of users have Messenger installed and use the app frequently. In other words, if some tool could threaten the absolute dominance of Facebook in regards to communication tools , this company was not Google or Microsoft, but the WhatsApp messenger .
What changes for the consumer ?
As soon as the announcement of the purchase was disclosed in the technology websites , many users questioned about the direction that the Messenger and WhatsApp services should take . Inclusion of publicity and a possible integration between the two messengers are among the biggest fears and expectations of consumers .
However , according to statements of Mark Zuckerberg , Facebook CEO and Brian Acton , cofounder of WhatsApp in principle nothing should change . " WhatsApp will continue to operate independently . The product strategy remains unchanged and the entire staff of the tool will continue in Mountain View , "said Zuckerberg .
" Here is a list of things that will change for our users after purchase by Facebook : nothing," Acton said in a statement published on the blog of WhatsApp . "You may continue using WhatsApp for U.S. $ 1 per year - as it happens - and all other tools remain unchanged ," he added .
If we analyze what happened after the purchase of Instagram - to complete two years in the month of April - it is possible to imagine that the words of the leaders of the two companies are even true . Since then , the improvements gained Instagram , as the ability to post videos , and was also available for Windows Phone . Functioning as promised , remained independent of the social network .
In 2011 , WhatsApp worth $ 8 million
WhatsApp was created in 2009 by American Brian Acton and the Ukrainian Jan Koum , who currently holds the position of CEO. Both were employees of Yahoo! and ended up leaving the company to take care of their own projects .
The idea for the app came about when the gym that Jan Koum attended decided to ban the use of cellphones. He was bothered by the lost while playing sports and as an engineer, decided to find a solution to the problem links.
At the time the iPhone was the leading handset in the market and he bet that the concept revenge and soon all phones would become smartphones . In an interview , Koum said he hated the commercials that invaded the messengers and wanted her to stay away from that service .
" When you receive a message from the person you love, your family or your best friend , you must be able to respond immediately and can not be distracted by any advertising ," he said in an interview with Fast Company . " Smartphones are usually so small , so personal to put ads on that small screen does not seem right ," he added .
His disinterest in adverts is already long date from the time that still worked at Yahoo! as Vice President of Engineering . In an interview to the site in 2011 GigaOm , Koum and Acton described themselves as " people -focused , quiet and worried about making a product that works well ."
The Koum had a brilliant career ahead of WhatsApp, Acton Also has an impressive resume. As a programmer, he worked at Rockwell Engineering and later at Apple. Among the languages you use que, are C, C + +, Perl, PHP, Erlang, Java and Python.
The success of WhatsApp does not seem to have changed very simple way of double. In 2012, after a visit to the headquarters of the press service, journalists Reported that Koum received visitors while barefoot Acton wore slippers.
Trivia aside, the fact is que together They created the company in 2011 that alone, and worth little more than $ 8 million. To reach the mark of $ 19 billion, it is Likely that They have hit a new record: WhatsApp is possibly the startup that had a more rapid appreciation of the history of Silicon Valley.

Founder of WhatsApp explains general failure on the last Saturday
Jam Koum states that the problem started on a router control, generating cascading effect on company servers
If you use WhatsApp , must have realized that on Saturday the system of sending and receiving messages was completely unstable - eventually being completely unavailable for several moments . Despite the jokes that circulated the Internet during the day , the problem had no connection with the purchase of the service by Facebook .
Jam Koum , CEO and founder of WhatsApp sent an email to The Verge site explaining all the details of the fall of service. He said the blackout was the largest and longest of all time , having affected all users of the service , with virtually no exceptions . And the whole problem originated in a network router .
This router would have caused a failure cascade in the WhatsApp network systems , directly affecting the servers . Koum not informed what the cause of this failure on the router , but ensures that it does not have relationships with advertising that WhatsApp was after the announcement of the acquisition , which rocked the market last week - and that could have caused overloading the servers.
To prevent further failures of this type happen , Koum claims that WhatsApp is taking steps to protect servers from possible general failures in the future. According to the Koum himself says , the service engineers are making sure that this will not happen again .

Internet: how are the speeds in the main countries
Learn which nations have the fastest connections and which are still in the age of dial-up internet
Moreover , we bring the data on the amount of connections that are above 10 Mbps and a comparative to show how long it takes to upload a full HD video in each of these countries .
Global overview of the internet
Using more than one hundred countries for research , Akamai has collected data on the basis that the nations had at least 25,000 unique IP addresses. The document was constructed based on the statistics obtained during the third quarter of 2013 , with the latest figures were compared to 2012 to identify the growth rate .
Below , you can check the global average (which sum all speeds from all countries and divides by the number of participants ) and top 10 world with the fastest connection :
0 . Global - 3.6 Mbps ( 29 % growth over last year)
1. South Korea - 22.1 Mbps ( 51 % )
2 . Japan - 13.3 Mbps ( 27 % )
3 . Hong Kong - 12.5 Mbps ( 39 % )
4 . Netherlands - 12.5 Mbps ( 46 % )
5 . Switzerland - 11.6 Mbps ( 33 % )
6 . Czech Republic - 11.3 Mbps ( 49 % )
7 . Latvia - 11.1 Mbps ( 28 % )
8 . United States - 9.8 Mbps ( 31 % )
9. Belgium - 9.7 Mbps ( 46 % )
10 . Ireland - 9.6 Mbps ( 43 % )
The fastest connections in the world!
Besides finding the averages of countries , Akamai worked to find out which are the fastest connections in the world. Building on the peak velocity of the analyzed networks , the company managed to collect data and find out which are the fastest in the world.
As the company that made the data analysis , peak data connections can be more revealing about the capitals of the countries surveyed , as are the regions where people demand better connections and companies invest in better infrastructure .
1. Hong Kong - 65.4 Mbps
2 . South Korea - 63.6 Mbps
3 . Japan - 52 Mbps
4 . Singapore - 50.1 Mbps
5 . Israel - 47.7 Mbps
6 . Romania - 45.4 Mbps
7 . Latvia - 43.1 Mbps
8 . Taiwan - 42.7 Mbps
9. Netherlands - 39.6 Mbps
10 . Belgium - 38.5 Mbps
Absurd growth in Brazil
The report Akamai's brought a lot of interesting data , but certainly the information about the Brazil noteworthy (something that the very supplier of data highlights several times throughout the document ) .
The first thing worth mentioning with regard to the number of IPs in our country . Still we introduce a well shy number ( only 34 million IPs ) than in the United States ( that is on top with 158 million IPs ) , we are the country with the highest growth in IPv4 technology.
From one year to another , the number of IPv4 addresses has increased by 52 % , which shows that more and more Brazilians are gaining access to the global network . On our tail , we have India and China, which showed annual growth of 32 % and 17 % respectively.
Slow adoption of IPv6
When dealing with the issue of new technology , Brazil is still among the most technological countries . According to data from Akamai , the top 3 in the matter of IPv6 addresses is for Romania , Switzerland and France .
Even the United States and Japan do not show strong adherence to such a novelty , and the data traffic is not even 5 % in those nations ( the U.S. , only 4.2 % of the connections use this technology in Japan and the number drops to 1 , 9%) .
Although we are not as tuned in new technologies, we have an institution that stands against foreign. According to the report, the State University of Ponta Grossa ranked first among the universities with the highest percentage of IPv6 connections, reaching a staggering 80% of IPv6 addresses.
How is your connection?
As you can see, the situation in Brazil is not the best, but at least we're not last in the ranking. Your internet connection is according to the collected data or your carrier offers more robust plans? Stay tuned because soon we will bring an article talking about the situation of mobile connections worldwide.
Moreover , we bring the data on the amount of connections that are above 10 Mbps and a comparative to show how long it takes to upload a full HD video in each of these countries .
Global overview of the internet
Using more than one hundred countries for research , Akamai has collected data on the basis that the nations had at least 25,000 unique IP addresses. The document was constructed based on the statistics obtained during the third quarter of 2013 , with the latest figures were compared to 2012 to identify the growth rate .
Below , you can check the global average (which sum all speeds from all countries and divides by the number of participants ) and top 10 world with the fastest connection :
0 . Global - 3.6 Mbps ( 29 % growth over last year)
1. South Korea - 22.1 Mbps ( 51 % )
2 . Japan - 13.3 Mbps ( 27 % )
3 . Hong Kong - 12.5 Mbps ( 39 % )
4 . Netherlands - 12.5 Mbps ( 46 % )
5 . Switzerland - 11.6 Mbps ( 33 % )
6 . Czech Republic - 11.3 Mbps ( 49 % )
7 . Latvia - 11.1 Mbps ( 28 % )
8 . United States - 9.8 Mbps ( 31 % )
9. Belgium - 9.7 Mbps ( 46 % )
10 . Ireland - 9.6 Mbps ( 43 % )
The fastest connections in the world!
Besides finding the averages of countries , Akamai worked to find out which are the fastest connections in the world. Building on the peak velocity of the analyzed networks , the company managed to collect data and find out which are the fastest in the world.
As the company that made the data analysis , peak data connections can be more revealing about the capitals of the countries surveyed , as are the regions where people demand better connections and companies invest in better infrastructure .
1. Hong Kong - 65.4 Mbps
2 . South Korea - 63.6 Mbps
3 . Japan - 52 Mbps
4 . Singapore - 50.1 Mbps
5 . Israel - 47.7 Mbps
6 . Romania - 45.4 Mbps
7 . Latvia - 43.1 Mbps
8 . Taiwan - 42.7 Mbps
9. Netherlands - 39.6 Mbps
10 . Belgium - 38.5 Mbps

Google Fiber works to provide 10 Gbps connections soon
Internet service company operates only in the U.S. and will improve your speed by 10 times
You know the story of that technology companies launching their new range in the way that suits ? I mean, mothers often talk - when children are going to buy a new smartphone - the manufacturer in question already has a much more advanced technology at hand and selling it just to extort the young man again in a few months .
Google does not seem to be very interested in this philosophy , at least in the league Google Fiber internet service provider who delivers the best connections in the U.S. . The company has just announced it will increase its average speed by 10 times over the next three years. Thus , speeds of 10 Gbps will be available . It is soft ?
All this , moreover, is not directed only to companies , but to domestic consumers . However , the scope of Google Fiber is limited to just three North American cities so far, which leaves little relevance to their competition operator . Google's plans to offer a new model that would be broadcast through traditional optical fibers that are already installed on your network .
" Why it would not become a reality in three years ? It's what we're working . There is no reason to wait , "said division chief Patrick Pichette , to USA Today about the new project operator . It is noteworthy that , although that is a major evolution in domestic U.S. network , places like South Korea already use connections with similar speeds

Full HD Screen
Many notebooks we tested recently left to be desired due to the display. Avell This goes against the tide and brings one of the best screens for the game. With 15 -inch Full HD resolution , this display ensures high definition and does not require connection to an external device to enjoy the games in
maximum quality .
Color reproduction is excellent . Even when positioned at extreme angles , the screen displays hardly distortions . The surface is not mirror which avoids reflections. The brightness level is excellent , but to leave it at the highest it is possible that darker colors appear whitish.
Battery autonomy satisfactory
Normally , gamers notebooks bring batteries that are not able to provide power for long. The problem usually is not the battery, but the excessive consumption of the GPU and other components .
The Avell NEW G1511 is NVIDIA GPU with Optimus technology, which ensures better resource autonomy of the energy component. In our tests with POWERMARK , the battery was able to run games for almost 3 consecutive hours , which we consider a great time taking into account that the hardware configuration of the product takes a lot of energy.
fail
A robust audio would come in handy
Titanium G1511 NEW impressed us in many ways, but the audio system just disappointing . Despite having a sound card high quality ( compatible with THX TruStudio Pro Sound System technology) and come with speakers from Onkyo , the product failed to exceed our expectations .
While faithfully reproduce the sounds , the audio components do not perform them in high volume and are lacking in bass reproduction . Fortunately , this Avell has multiple audio outputs to ensure the connection of external gadgets that are prepared to gambling .
It is worth
Again, the Avell managed to surprise us. Titanium G1511 proved to be a solid and reliable product. Certainly worth investing your money on this machine because it offers high performance at a price within the acceptable to the proposal .
Disbursing 3,600 reais, you get a laptop with Intel Core i5 , NVIDIA GTX 765M GPU and 8GB of RAM. In this configuration , you can run the latest games at high resolution and with neat visual
quality .
For those who can invest more , the Avell offers processor upgrades and the storage device , and you can even install a hybrid HD or an SSD . It is worth noting , however, that the 1TB hard drive that comes installed by default does the trick .
As usual, the base price of the device does not include the value of the operating system, but even opting for Windows 7 or 8, you can have a gamer high quality machine without spending much. The G1511 impressed us both for the quality of construction and the performance. If you want a laptop gamer, this is a great bet with good balance between cost and benefit.

IBM's new chip promises 400 Gbps internet
Prototype uses energy intelligently and can download 160GB in a few seconds
As per the reports from Akamai , which country has the fastest connections in the world is South Korea , which sits atop the rankings with an average speed of 22.1 Mbps .
This already seems fast compared to what many Brazilians use . The Google Fiber project goes beyond and can offer speeds up to 1 Gbps , something unimaginable to mere mortals .
If this already seems very fast , the latest breakthrough from IBM can surprise the world . According to ZDNet News , the company recently introduced in Switzerland , a prototype of an ADC ( analog- to-digital signal ) that can reach the amazing speed of 400 Gbps .
Despite being absurdly insane , this connection is not just unnecessary . It would serve perfectly for the guys Torrent make the party , but the truth is that IBM has developed her thinking of purposes that actually have such demand .
The main idea is that this chip ( several of them ) may serve to ensure the transmission of data from the Square Kilometre Array , a telescope system that will use more than 1 exabyte ( over 100 billion gigabytes ) of bandwidth daily. The ADC components are produced with the IBM 32 nm technology at a plant in East Fishkill , New York .
