Android creator teases new bezel-less smartphone

NEW DELHI: Andy Rubin, the creator of Google's Android OS, has teased a new smartphone that will have no bezels at all. Rubin teased the smartphone by tweeting an image, which shows one corner of a device (held in a hand) and zero bezels. Along with the image, the tweet also has a caption that reads, "I'm really excited about how this is shaping up. Eager to get it in more people's hands..." It is not for sure whether the smartphone teased by Rubin is the final product or a prototype.
From what we can see in the image, the smartphone teased by Rubin appears similar to Xiaomi's Mi Mix, which also has a bezel-less front panel. The handset will be made by Rubin's Essential Products Inc. It has been reported before that the company's flagship smartphone is scheduled to launch in mid-2017.
READ ALSO: Google to now offer a free Android app every week Back in January this year, Bloomberg website reported about Essential Products Inc. It mentioned that the company is comprised of former Google and Apple employees. Essential was said to be working on a smartphone that will have "the ability to gain new hardware features over time." Besides hinting at a modular device, the report added that the modular components will stick with the base device using a magnetic connector. The connector will also be able to charge the battery, while expanding the features of the smartphone. One of the modules was claimed to be a 360-degree camera. Also, the modular handset was claimed to have a bezel-less display, something which has now been teased by Rubin. Further, the report claimed that one of the prototypes may have a screen bigger than Apple's iPhone 7 Plus. However, its overall footprint would be smaller due to lesser bezels. The particular model is expected to sport a metallic frame and ceramic back. As for the launch, it may launch sometime in the middle of this year.

What is ARP Monitor?

ARP MONITOR It’s FREE tool like arpwatch but for Windows OS. This tool can help with ARP activity monitoring in computer networks. It allows you to catch intruders on the network, track MAC-IP bundles, detect scans, monitor real-time ARP protocol activity in the segment, and much more. This windows software monitors ethernet activity like unix apwatch and keeps a database of ethernet/ip address pairings. new activity - This ethernet/ip address pair has been used for the first time. new station - The ethernet address has not been seen before. flip flop - The ethernet address has changed from the most recently seen address to the second most recently seen address. changed ethernet address - The host switched to a new ethernet address.

Intel's extra-fast 3D storage comes to your desktop PC

It didn't take long for Intel's 3D Optane storage to reach a product you can realistically buy. The chip maker has introduced Optane modules designed to boost the performance of your desktop PC. They're strictly cache drives that only hold 16GB or 32GB (the server module packs 375GB), but don't let that dismay you. In theory, the combination of extremely low latency (under 10 microseconds) with solid state drive speeds (at least 900MB/s in peak sequential reads) should dramatically reduce loading times across the board. Compared to a PC with a conventional spinning hard drive, Intel claims that you should see a 28 percent overall performance boost, with storage up to 14 times faster. Common apps like the Chrome or Outlook should load five to six times faster, Intel says. And not surprisingly, Intel is making a big deal out of gaming performance. The company boasts that games can start up to 67 percent faster, and load levels up to 65 percent fa...

SolarCity’s Gigafactory

A $750 million solar facility in Buffalo will produce a gigawatt of high-efficiency solar panels per year and make the technology far more attractive to homeowners. In an industrial park near the shore of Lake Erie, hard by the Buffalo River, the future of the solar power industry is under construction. SolarCity’s sprawling Buffalo factory, built and paid for by the state of New York, is nearing completion and will soon begin producing some of the most efficient solar panels available commercially. Capable of making 10,000 solar panels a day, or one gigawatt of solar capacity a year, it will be the largest solar manufacturing plant in North America and one of the biggest in the world. When production begins, SolarCity, already the leading installer of residential solar panels in the United States, will become a vertically integrated manufacturer and provider—doing everything from making the solar cells to putting them on rooftops. At a time when conventional silicon-based...
