How smart android box was my preferred streaming device

I have been looking out for affordable and reliable streaming device for my old TV for past several months. After careful consideration and comparison with Apple’s 4K TV device, I came to conclusion that Android streaming box would be perfect fit for my requirements. The decision on selecting Android streaming device was not made with hasty comparison and there were few pointers that ensured my decision easier. Following are my reasons on why Android streaming box was my preferred choice: 

• Affordable cost: The cost of getting android box was more affordable than getting Google’s Chromecast device and Apple’s 4K TV box. In addition, the android box was offering more value for money than the any other streaming device available in the market, even better than Google’s own Chromecast device. 
• Direct TV (DTH) and OTT option: The other unique proposition from Android box that stands out from Apple’s 4K TV box and Google’s Chromecast device was the OTT app integrations and DTH viewing option. So, the android box offered by the DTH provider have option of viewing both direct TV and OTT applications when needed. It reduces the pain of manually converting from direct TV to casting screen or OTT application movies and series. 

With above-mentioned options, it is evident that getting DTH service providers android box was the most affordable and feature rich option. For more such articles or information, please feel free to check out the articles published in “G R Team Sites”

My expectations for Apple’s October event in 2022

With the end of Apple’s September event introducing new Apple Watch version, AirPods Pro 2nd generation and iPhone 14 lineups, the focus now shifts to next Apple’s event. The next Apple event may be scheduled during the first week of October 2022 and the expectations are already muted. Following is the list of announcements that is expected from Apple during their October 2022 event

• Next MacOS and iPadOS software launch: With the introduction of new iPadOS and MacOS versions during WWDC 2022, Apple has not revealed their timeline for official launch and most likely it would be their first introduction in the October 2022 Event. 
• iPad 10th generation launch: With no mention of new iPad launch in the September 2022 event, it is evident that the next iPad 10th generation would be launched during October 2022 event with introduction of USB Type-C connectivity and support for Apple 2nd generation Pencil. 
• iPad pro and Mac mini with M2 configurations: At last, the final expected launch in October 2022 event would be launch of iPad pro versions with M2 chips and possibility of M2 Mac mini with slightly increased pricing options. The iPad pro has not been refreshed in this year’s March 2022 event and with introduction of M2 chip for MacBook Air, the iPad Pro automatically qualifies for adoption to M2 chip at the earliest. 

Other than the above listed agenda, there were not much scope for any other introductions in October 2022 event and Apple might have shorter event duration. To read more such articles, please feel free to check out the list of sites in “G R Team Sites.”

Why Apple has not included Face ID in M1 Pro and M1 Max

 

Apple has recently launched M1 pro and M1 max to the market and has received much positive response from the technology experts. However, most tech experts were critical of Apple for not including Face ID on the notch and I could understand the reasons for Apple not including the Face ID authentication in the MacBook. Following are my reasons for not including Face ID in the latest M1 pro and M1 Max

• Automatic password/purchase authentication: Since most users will be spending their time working on the MacBook, there are chances that the payment authentication can happen automatically through Face ID and may result in monetary loss.

• Accidental Face authentication without usage: Other concern of integrating Face ID into the notch of the latest MacBook is that, even if you are not using your MacBook and your family or kid using for few minutes, there are chances that the Face ID authentication may happen automatically if your come closer to the MacBook. 

Even though, Apple can address above concerns with new system preference or options, it may not be feasible for basic users to modify those settings and would eventually complicate their Face ID authentication process. For more such articles, please feel free to check out the “G R Team Sites”

Unavailability of iCloud+ for older Macs like 2012 MacBook Pro

As my readers knew that I have been using 2012 MacBook Pro for past few years and have no intentions of replacing my MacBook pro anytime soon. However, recently I was looking forward to subscribing for Apple One subscription and was facing roadblock when heard that iCloud+ will support only on latest Macs or the MacBook Pro's that are upgraded to Monetary operating system. Following are my justification on why Apple should include iCloud+ support for older macs and enable Apple One subscribers like me to enjoy iCloud+ subscription to the fullest

• Using Latest iPhone OS and iPadOS: Lack of update to my old MacBook Pro 2012 doesn't mean that I still using old Apple ecosystem, as I have latest iOS 15 on my iPhone 11 and iPadOS 15 in my 7th Gen iPad. While I can leverage iCloud+ features on both my handheld devices, lack of availability in MacBook Pro makes me deterrent and restricted access to iCloud+ features.

• Using Mac for most day-to-day activities: Even though I have latest version of iOS and iPadOS, I spend most of my time in my 2012 MacBook pro and do all my productivity activities in my MacBook Pro. While I can leverage private relay in my handheld devices, the lack of iCloud+ availability in older mac will not address my requirement and subscription to Apple One does not makes sense.

How apple music is steam ahead than Amazon Music

I use Amazon music for a long time and been big fan of it. However, with recent announcements from Apple Music, with integration of Dolby atmos has changed situation altogether and usage of Amazon music have become questionable due to following reasons. 

• Support for Dolby atmos & Spatial audio: Apple has announced that it’s entire catalogue of music will have Dolby atmos support before end of the year. However, Amazon music has not made official announcement or commitment on launch of Dolby support for its music catalogue. Just announcement of Dolby support for its music catalogue will not impact its users, until there is official commitment on enabling it for all users. 
• Siri integration: I understand that Amazon music has Alexa voice assistant and was on par with Siri on identifying songs. However, for Alexa voice assistant to work, the music application should be open and cannot be summoned when iPhone is idle or if application is closed. 

Hope Amazon addresses above concerns at the earliest, so its loyal users don’t think of switching to another music platform and continues to stay with Amazon music. For more such articles, please feel free to check out the G R Team Sites. 

22. Anticipation for new iPhone Xs

So, for the readers who were not aware of what’s happening, I own an iPhone 6 which I bought 4 years back and the battery was replaced under the Apple’s replacement program. The new iPhone was about to be launched at 12th September 2018 and there have been lot of rumors about the features and functionalities of the phone. However, none of the features and functionalities were tempting as it used for earlier iPhone's and during Steve Jobs era. The only thing which motivates me to buy the new iPhone is the camera setup and ageing iPhone 6 design. I didn’t want to upgrade to the new iPhone, due to its expensiveness and new technology being upgraded for every year. Other important factor to be considered is that my uncle is due to travel US later this year and I can get the new iPhone at the most affordable price and can get it at the earliest. Now I am in dilemma with both positives and negatives, whether to opt for new iPhone Xs or still can run the juice with 4-year-old iPhone. Continue reading at “G R Team Sites”

Information for Quantum Computers

Simple fundamental of quantum computing is that, as per wave particle duality in quantum physics a matter can occupy a wave nature or particle nature depends upon the experiment we carried out with it. Same analogy with quantum computer in classical sense the memory-field of a computer is either filled up by '0' or by '1'. But in quantum computing both memory states can be occupied simultaneously. Such computers are very fast to perform an operation than classical computer like in normal cases. Google search engine took 0.10- 0.25 seconds to find out any web page with any keyword. But if quantum algorithms are implemented- this time will change into micro-seconds and will require much less memory than it is now. But this area is under vast research and no such computer is developed so far, but in near future we may succeed.

Super Computer from IBM

Guys I came across an article about IBM's New venture and hope it will help you to know about new technology. IBM researchers from the T.J. Watson Research Center reached a significant milestone in the quest to send information between the "brains" on a chip using pulses of light through silicon instead of electrical signals on copper wires. The breakthrough -- a significant advancement in the field of "Silicon Nano photonics" -- uses pulses of light rather than electrical wires to transmit information between different processors on a single chip, significantly reducing cost, energy and heat while increasing communications bandwidth between the cores more than a hundred times over wired chips. The new technology aims to enable a power-efficient method to connect hundreds or thousands of cores together on a tiny chip by eliminating the wires required to connect them. Using light instead of wires to send information between the cores can be as much as 100 times faster and use 10 times less power than wires, potentially allowing hundreds of cores to be connected together on a single chip, transforming today's large supercomputers into tomorrow's tiny chips while consuming significantly less power. IBM's optical modulator performs the function of converting a digital electrical signal carried on a wire, into a series of light pulses, carried on a silicon Nano photonic waveguide. First, an input laser beam (marked by red color) is delivered to the optical modulator. The optical modulator (black box with IBM logo) is basically a very fast "shutter" which controls whether the input laser is blocked or transmitted to the output waveguide. When a digital electrical pulse (a "1" bit marked by yellow) arrives from the left at the modulator, a short pulse of light is allowed to pass through at the optical output on the right. When there is no electrical pulse at the modulator (a "0" bit), the modulator blocks light from passing through at the optical output. In this way, the device "modulates" the intensity of the input laser beam.

Suggestion to host Pictures

A picture hosting service allows individuals to upload images to an Internet website. The image host will then store the image onto its server, and show the individual different types of code to allow others to view that image. Typically image hosting websites provide an upload interface; a form in which you specify the location of an image file on your local computer file system (using a browse button). After pressing a “Upload” button the file is uploaded to the image host’s server. Some image hosts allow you to specify multiple files at once, in this form, or the ability to upload one ZIP file containing multiple images. The Pict is a new website for image hosting service. You can upload many numbers of images from local computer, other system and from URL. After this process, your image is hosted on their server. This photo hosting network allows you to link images with HTML code, linking with BBcode and a click able thumbnail that is linked to the full image. This photo hosting service allows you to save to you email and export any where in Internet. Image hosts also allow tools such as the ability to create photo blogs or galleries with your images, or add them to a sideshow for easier viewing. Upload as many photos in Pict.com and have fun with your friends.

U.S. Military with Indian Technology

I read an article about some interesting facts about Indian technology in U.S. Military. Let me share something about it. The United States adopted ancient Indian catamaran-making technology to construct fast ships which were used with dramatic effect in the Iraq war, says a media report. Among the equipment the Americans used to win the Iraq war were 100-feet catamaran ships to ferry tanks and ammunition from Qatar to Kuwait. The ships, built with technology adapted from ancient Tamil methods to make catamarans, can travel over 2,500 kms in less than 48 hours, twice the speed of the regular cargo ships, and carry enough equipment to support about 5,000 soldiers.

Old Info of Kalam on Chandrayaan

Byalalu village near Bangalore had a high profile visitor on Saturday. The former President, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, visited the Indian Deep Space Network and the giant antenna here and expressed his desire to see an Indian scientist land on the moon by 2021. "I would be 90 years old then, "he told a gathering of senior scientists. G.Madhavan Nair, chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) presented Mr. Kalam with a picture of the Earth taken by the Terrain Mapping Camera on board Chandrayaan - I from an altitude of 70,000 Km. Earlier in the day, speaking to reporters after launching an emergency response service in the city, Mr. Kalam said he believed that every Indian should be proud of the Chandrayaan-I, the country's first moon mission program taken up by ISRO. The images captured by the spacecraft were of high resolution and quality and therefore "an indicator of what it holds for the future ", he added. On November 8, when Chandrayaan leaves the Earth's gravity and enters the Moon's orbit, will be the next milestone for the mission, Mr. Kalam said.
