Amazon revealed ‘Prime Air’: A drone for delivering purchases in 30 minutes

Amazon revealed ‘Prime Air’: A drone for delivering purchases in 30 minutes. The e-retailer Amazon has a plan to launch a revolutionary mini drone in order to deliver mall packages to consumers in just half an hour. For this purpose Amazon  has revealed the ‘Prime Air’ drones that will deliver packages directly to people's doors in just 30 minutes. Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos unveiled the Prime Air at a program “60 Minutes” aired on CBS on Sunday evening.
In order to strengthen its position against its competitors the company is stealthily working on the "octocopter" project in secret research and development lab at its Seattle, Wash. -based headquarters for months.
The implementation of the new technology is not the matter of overnight it might take several years as Bezos said that the company hoped that the 'octopters' will be fully in operation in 'four to five years', with the approval from the US Federal Aviation Authority.
He said that  it’s a harder challenge to put Prime Air into commercial use and to meet the standards of the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) rules and regulation.
The online retailer Amazon has posted an introductory  video on its website that shows the test flight of the Prime Air. In the 80 second video the retailer has shown that a buyer purchases an item form the Amazon. After that the item is  placed into a plastic yellow Amazon tagged container. The drone will pick up packages in small buckets at Amazon's fulfillment centers and fly directly to the customers’ home. The Prime Air drone would be available for packages weighing 5 pounds or less, said the company.
Currently, it is not known either the Amazon drone would fly to its destination using GPS coordinates or be guided by an Amazon employee with a headset and controller. Amazon recently declared that it was teaming with the U.S. Postal Service to deliver Amazon packages on Sundays.

Prime Air is really a tremendous and revolutionary technology. If come into being we will see lots of drones flying over the sky carrying Amazon delivery Box. What is your opinion comment below. you can watch the video below:

Crack Down of Google and Microsoft against Child Abuse imagery

Crack Down of Google and Microsoft against Child Abuse imagery. The Google and Microsoft, the two leading search engine companies in the world, have started a crackdown against child abuse imagery over the internet. Both the companies have joined hands to clean up the internet searches related to child abuse images. It’s a vital step of the companies to make internet searches more safe and effective.
To overcome the issue both the companies have blocked approximately 100,000 search results over the internet related to illicit child abuse. The companies also warned that the child abuse imagery is illegal. After the blockage of the illicit content online no one is any more able to search those keywords related to child abuse rather they will be told that the sexual abuse of children is illegal.
This step of tech giants is regarded by the Prime Minister of U.K. David Cameron, who appreciated the new move by Google and Microsoft, but to do more to prevent people getting access to illegal images are also the words of the PM.
The executive chairman of Google, Eric Schmidt said that his company has cleanup the google searches and block approximately 100,000 search terms that might be related to the sexual abuse of children.He said of the people looking for such type of abusive queries they they will find no results that link to illegal content.
The present step of cleanup abusive child imagery is limited to English countries only, but the companies will move further by blocking it on the global scale and 158 other languages in the next six months. Similar changes are also happening with Microsoft’s Bing. The company said that they are closely related with google to solve the issue and their Bing search engine will also produce effective results.
The two companies have introduced new algorithms (software instructions ) that will put a stop to searches for child abuse imagery and Google is also testing technology to recognize and remove illegitimate videos. In a groundbreaking move, YouTube engineers have created new technology to identify videos made by paedophiles. The tech giants also have asked the help of UK’s National Crime Agency and Internet Watch Foundation in this regard.
The communications director of Google, Peter Barron said that the cleanup system is extremely effective and it would make the searches much more difficult to find  content related to sexual abuse of children online. The company is also showing warnings at the top of its search results for 13,000 queries.
The blockage or removal of the illicit child abusive content by Google and Microsoft is criticized by the different online rights campaigners, who said these precautionary  measures were more about preventing damage to the companies' reputations, and would not be very effectual in protecting children.
Despite criticism the step of  Google is significantly better. The company is doing its utmost to make the internet a safer and more accessible place for the people. I think it is a good move of the governments and tech giants to work together to eradicate child abuse content from the internet.

The Windows Phone sales rose 156 percent, with more than 90 percent made by the Finnish company Nokia. Nokia’s handset division is set to be purchased by Microsoft.The downfall can be seen in Research In Motion Limited (RIM)s BlackBerry. The market shares of the BlackBerry fell from 4.1 percent to 1.7 percent a year ago. Although, RIM has introduced the new operating system BlackBerry 10 but the sale of its BlackBerry device fell 41.6 percent from a year ago.

Both the companies Google and Microsoft have a wide range of collection available at the very low cost. These products are affordable enough for the mass market and role of mass market is most important in the prosperity of entire market.
Despite the introduction two new iPhones namely iPhone 5S and iPhone 5c in the month of September the market share of Apple was probably affected by the weak sale of products, at the end of the quarter of this year. The IDC survey said that despite the downfall in market share Apple sold nine million of the new devices in the first weekend, suggesting a strong fourth quarter.
The large devices namely Phablets’ sale up from the 3 percent a year ago, accounted for 21 percent of the smartphone market, said IDC report. The IDC's Ryan Reith said that the increase in the sale is most probably due to all the successful Android vendors, who have added one or more five- to seven-inch phablets to their product collections. He further mentioned that the inability of Apple in contributing the growing market is the absence of large screen devices in the third quarter of the current year.

Apple to use Solar Power for Charging its Notebooks and iOS Devices

Apple to use Solar Power for Charging its Notebooks and iOS Devices. A new patent application that was published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) through  AppleInsider  revealed that Apple is thinking to use solar power for charging its mobile devices and notebooks.  The company is looking forward to deliver solar-ready power management system to its upcoming device, by negating  gigantic external converters. Already has numerous solar inventions to its name the company is thinking to  come forward to form a solar power solution that can be made feasible in the near future. The patent is entitled "Power management systems for accepting adapter and solar power in electronic devices,"filled in 2012 by Kisun Lee, Manisha P. Pandya and Shimon Elkayam as its inventors.. According to the patent Apple is not going to fully invest in the solar power solution, instead it will use the existing technologies to start with. In Apple patent the power management is meant to get both power adapter and solar power direct from gathering devices or traditional mains-based chargers. The power management system would comprise a system micro controller (SMC) and a charger. Power would run in the system from either an AC-to-DC adapter or directly from a photovoltaic solar panel's output, which is DC only, then be measured and converted to the necessary voltage.
In other words, you could plug your iPad/iPod adapter, or alternatively hook a MacBook or other piece of hardware directly to a solar panel with a simple cord.
