Attention Pokémasters Your iPhone just became a real life Pokédex thanks to Wolfram Alpha and Siri
The massive information engine Wolfram Alpha just added a whopping 649 Pokémon to its database. For fans of the games, that fact is pretty cool all on its own, but if you happen to own an iPhone or an iPad with Siri, its even more awesome. You see, thanks to Siris ability to search Wolfram Alpha for information, your iDevice is now as close to a real-life Pokédex as youll probably ever have.
In the Pokémon television shows, movies and games, the lead character always carries around the iconic, all-knowing Pokédex which responds to voice and searches for information on any pokémon that appears. Your iDevice now works the same way:
- Activate Siri
- Ask "Search Wolfram for [insert pokémon name here]"
- Watch as Siri provides you with a ton of information, including its history, physical characteristics, stats and even full-color images

Apple Confirms Acquisition of 3D Body Sensing Firm PrimeSense
Apple has confirmed its acquisition of Israeli 3D body sensing firm PrimeSense, reports AllThingsD. The move comes after months of speculation, as Apple was first reported in July to be looking to acquire the firm behind the original 3D body sensing technology used by Microsoft for its Kinect platform. The negotiations gained notoriety again earlier this month as Apple was said to be on the verge of a deal, agreeing to purchase PrimeSense for approximately $345 million, but was held up due to a final legal issue.
Apple spokeswoman Kristin Huguet confirmed the PrimeSense deal with the boilerplate comment the company typically provides when news of one of its acquisitions leaks: “Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans.”
Apple has expressed interest in Kinect-like motion control of such products as appliances and vehicle instrumentation, but the main area where the company has been rumored to be using the technology is in television. Reports have indicated that Apple is looking at Kinect-like motion control for its future television set, although the project is said to be seeing continuing delays due to difficult content negotiations with Apple shifting its near-term focus to wearables such as the "iWatch."

I Charged My iPhone Using The Stove Last Night
The PowerPot is an ingenious device that allows people to charge a mobile phone while theyre cooking — its targeted at campers.
Just after hearing the name, you probably have a good idea of what this device all about. It hides a thermoelectric generator inside a mostly normal-looking cooking pot. Fill the pot with water, place it over a heat source, and it begins to generate electricity for charging your USB devices.
The model we tested generates 5 watts of electricity, which means itll charge your iPhone twice as fast as connecting it to your computer over USB. Theres even a 10-watt model for those who want to be extra-prepared.
Thermoelectric generators are able to generate electricity any time theres a big disparity in hot and cold temperatures – a pot of cool water placed over a hot flame, for example. The technology works like a charm, and charging my phone from the stove felt like a delightful magic trick.
The PowerPot is perfect for campers, backpackers, and emergency-preparedness types. It would have been terrific in New York during last years Hurricane Sandy blackout, for instance, when gas stoves still worked even though the electricity was off. But its also great for anyone who simply wants to ensure that he or she can have easy access to electricity no matter the circumstance.
Theres a social enterprise element here as well. Because the PowerPot technology is perfect for developing nations, you can contribute money to help send PowerPots to people around the world who would benefit from having one.
The price of admission here is a bit steep, starting at $149 in the company store. You can also buy various add-ons to help expand its functionality. We were particularly big fans of the USB-powered light.
If youre already sold, click here to go to their store. If you want to learn more, you should browse the rest of the Powerpot site.

Xperia Z3 Compact Release Date 2015
Xperia Z3 Compact Review: A new skinny, waterproof product that plays the PS4 games
.jpg "Xperia Z3") |
Xperia Z3 Compact |
Pattern
The Z3 Tablet Compact is not a bad looking part of kit at almost all. Its crisp light design is nice and clean and very, very skeletal -- 6. 4mm thicker, to be specific. While its slender size means it looks good along with feels comfortable to hold (also helped by the soft-touch matte coating for the back), it does feel an affect fragile. Make sure it is not beneath your rump after you sit down for the sofa.
The particular 8-inch display is full HD (1, 920x1, 080 pixels) and that is less than youd probably find on both iPad Minis Retina display or for the new Samsung Galaxy Tab S. It is a resolution more commonly available on smartphones -- despite the fact that even LGs 5. 5-inch G3 incorporates a higher 2, 560x1, 440-pixel resolution. Although on paper that could be a little unsatisfying, in reality, the Z3 tablets screen can be quite crisp and its tough to see much difference between this and the iPad Minis Retina exhibit.
The latest Android 4. 4. several KitKat runs the show, over which Sony has pasted the same user interface you will discover on most regarding its phones. Its obvious to use and contains some handy tweaks such as a menu next for the app tray that lets you reorganise the apps which has a tap.
A cool feature generally speaking Z3 range is the ability to use the tablet to be a display for the PlayStation 4. The PS4 gaming console does the processing with the games, but it streams this article to your product, letting you engage in the games on your own tablets screen, while your TELEVISION is off or being utilized for something else. The idea is that you could carry on participating in your game when you attend bed, when your second half demands the TELEVISION or, of training course, when youre for the toilet. Brilliant.
Its fair to mention though that if youre a keen game lover and want the top performance and clean gameplay to dominate the ranks in the online Call Associated with Duty battle, PS4 Hyperlink wont keep a person happy. For casual levelling high on slower-paced games because you sit on the porcelain throne, it has a lot more promise. I dont suggest you purchase the tablet solely for this specific purpose, but if youre a PS4 user already and buying a tablet, its certainly grounds to consider the Z3 Tablet over every other Android slate. Ill be examining this further on the coming days along with weeks so check more of the impressions.

Blackberry Z3 Review
Blackberry Z3
Blackberry Z3
Theres no denying the fact that BlackBerry (the company formerly known as Research In Motion) has serious problems. Five years ago, everyone from students to housewives to businessmen was willing to pay a lot of money to own a BlackBerry. Three years ago, Android and the iPhone began to make QWERTY phones feel seriously clunky and old-fashioned. Two years ago, we were hoping that the new BlackBerry 10 platform and devices based on it would reinvigorate the company, but ridiculous pricing and questionable decisions at every level destroyed any chance of that happening.Ever since the launch of the Z10 a year and a half ago, weve been waiting for lower-priced models that might offer better value for money and wouldnt be completely overshadowed by Android. As it stands, there are very few BlackBerry loyalists left, and the majority of those who have moved on to Android or iOS are not going to give the company another chance without a lot of very good reasons. Lets find out if the new BlackBerry Z3 delivers.

2015 Oppo R5 Price Release Date
Oppo R5 Review: Beautiful slim smartphone but poor performance
2015 Oppo R5 Price Release Date-Oppos R5 for sale is a truly ravishing telephone. Clad in metal, its super-thin - only 4.85mm (0.19 inches) profound, and it measures an inadequate 155 grams (5.5 ounces). Its unquestionably noteworthy, yet this takes on at the loss of the 3.5mm sound jack, so youll need to utilize Bluetooth earphones on the off chance that you need to listen to music.
 |
Oppo R5 Verizon |
For Android fans desirous of the iphone 6s thin casing, great, look no further. The Oppo R5 reviews ultra-thin body beats the iphone conveniently, and will draw desirous gazes from other Android holders also.
However slimness isnt all that incredible without the execution to back it up, and this is the place the telephone wavers. Its generally drowsy, and the cam takes everlastingly to fire up. The telephones dainty edge likewise doesnt assist with the hotness and it can get uncomfortably hot now and again.

- iPhone 6 New Design
- Xiaomi Mi Note (New)
Evaluating and availablity
Oppo hasnt yet uncovered careful dates for the telephones accessibility, however the Chinese organization plans to offer it comprehensively, either through its online store or working in association with nearby wholesalers. What I do know is that there will be three renditions because of the diverse LTE groups - one for the US, one for China and one for whatever is left of the world.The telephone is situated to hit Australian shores in right on time 2015. Value savvy, the R5 will be sold at $449, which changes over to generally £310 or Au$560. It will likewise come opened, so youll have the capacity to utilize the telephone on 3g for the most part all over the place.
Plan
The R5 is encased in metal - with a hand-cleaned steel outline and, on the back, brushed aluminum. This gives the telephone a premium vibe that youd anticipate from a more costly gadget.
The two-tone shade plan (either white and silver or white and gold) at the back does attract examinations to Apples iphone plans, yet the state of the telephone is a great deal more precise. In spite of being more slender, it doesnt feel as elusive as the iphone.
One drawback to the dainty edge of the telephone is that the back 13-megapixel stands out, much like Apples iphone. Be that as it may, not at all like the little knock of the iphone 6, the R5s back cam pops out a reasonable way, enough that it makes the telephone uneven when set on a level surface.
The R5 sports a 5.2-inch AMOLED showcase, with a full HD determination of 1,920x1,080 pixels. The screen is splendid and sharp, while colors were energetic. I do have issues with the auto-shine settings of the telephone - it can off and on again be excessively diminish.
Like most Chinese-made cell phones, the R5 sports physical home, menu and back keys. Im not a devotee of physical keys since I feel programming keys are ideal to connect with - you can (contingent upon the OS) switch the back catch to either the left or right position.
The volume and force keys are on the right side, with the micro-USB port at the base. As said prior, theres no 3.5mm sound jack.
Equipment
Oppos R5 is fueled by an octa-center 1.5ghz Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor, and in principle, ought to have enough squeeze to power the telephone. In any case my involvement with the gadget was short of what palatable: now and again the telephone would stop between exchanging applications, for instance. I figure a product upgrade could alter this, and I will redesign the audit in the event that it does.
The telephone packs 2gb of RAM, 16gb of locally available stockpiling and a 2,000mah battery. Theres no microsd card space to extend that stockpiling, which confines the quantity of applications you can introduce and the quantity of tunes and films you can keep installed.
Programming and gimmicks
The telephone is controlled by Android 4.4 Kitkat - not the most recent 5.0 Candy - with Oppos custom Coloros UI on top. The product is all that much enhanced from the organizations first form, however it appears to be comparative. For one, its much compliment.Oppo has likewise moved the signal board around. As opposed to swiping from the upper left corner to actuate the board, you simply need to swipe up from the base. It takes up just a small amount of the screen now, so you can in any case see what you were doing out of sight. You can rapidly initiate the electric lamp by drawing a "V" with your finger, or turn on the cam with an "O." You can likewise make new motions, for example, a "W" for Whatsapp.
The settings menu is better composed now. Like the Samsung Cosmic system S5, its presently sorted into tabs, which makes it simpler for speedier access. Instant messages additionally pop up in case youre utilizing the telephone, giving you a chance to do a snappy answer without leaving your current application.
In conclusion, in the same way as most Chinese Uis, Coloros gets rid of the application drawer style of Android, however in the event that youre changing from an iphone, youll likely be acquainted with having all your applications on your home screens.
Cam
Oppo has for the most part done well with its telephones cams and the 13-megapixel shooter of the R5 is the same. The main issue I had was the moderate start-up of the cam, which is likely because of the telephones by and large drowsy execution. Other than that, center is really fast and there are a lot of modes, for example, a ultra high-determination mode and beautiful night shots that you can play around with.
Execution
On our standard benchmark tests the telephone scored 16,849 on Quadrant, while performing 507.658 Mflops. This puts it above plan handsets that run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor, (for example, the HTC Wish 510), however beneath top of the line gadgets. That is basically normal in most circumstances and affirms my suspicion that the execution issues Ive been having with the telephone so far are likely programming based.
Battery life
The 2,000mah doesnt appear to keep going long enough for everyday utilization - Im ordinarily down to 20 percent before the end of the day, and this is on what I normally view as moderate utilization. On our E-NEWS Labs feature test, which circles a feature at half splendor, the telephone endured 7 hours 24 minutes.
In our tests, we normally leave the volume at half yet directed to a couple of earphones. Nonetheless, since this telephone doesnt have a sound jack, I forgot it to blast through its speakers. While this will influence the battery test sort of, the results do reflect my episodic tests: the telephones battery life is short.
Call quality and speakers
In spite of its slimness, the Oppo R5 Release Date has really noisy speakers. Its sufficiently boisterous to be heard in your pocket. I generally kept the telephones volume at around half, as notice alarms could get irritating.
Call quality was for the most part great - voices came over clear and fresh, however now and again it could be excessively uproarious. Ear piercingly uproarious, truth be told. You can turn this down however, so I dont propose abandoning it on full.

Samsung Galaxy K Zoom Review
Friday, March 20, 2015
PREVIEW Samsung Galaxy Tab 10 5 S – PC
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.5 S is the latest tablet from Samsung, we the big brother of the Galaxy S5 smartphone can call. safely With a crisp display and a golden touch tablet is immediately apparent, but is it really the best that the South Koreans have to offer? We were already using the tablet to work for a preview. A more detailed review will follow next week.
Screen
S Galaxy Tab has a full-HD Super AMOLED display with 2560 x 1600 pixels, which is actually a long way to say that it is a crystal clear screen is where you can get enough of. The sharp display is the first thing you notice when you turn on the power for the brightness of 287 ppi (pixels per inch) almost hurts your eyes, it’s so obvious.
In addition, Samsung has some useful features stopped in the tablet that make the viewing experience even better. The most important of these is the adaptive display, “which the screen colors and tint automatically adjusts to the activity on the screen. If you are a movie intentionally or looking at photos of the screen adapts to that activity, but it is a pity that the self-regulation of these two activities also ceases.Appearance
tablet looks out of the box neat, and especially the silver edges around the tablet and the home button instantly attract attention. The back has the exact same grid looks like its little brother, the Galaxy S5 smartphone. That makes for a lot less unsightly stains on the back, but once we found the back of the tablet and some cheap plastic feel.
Speakers
Remarkably, the Tab’s two speakers Both sides have to sit, both left and right. This is useful when you are watching a movie and you hold the tablet with one hand. That way you still get sound from the speaker – all we found the sound that the tablet actually produces a little off
Buttons
But what we particularly bothered about the. Galaxy Tab S is the layout of the buttons. The Tab S is intended for use in landscape mode, which can also be seen at the Samsung logo on the long side of the tablet. That also means that the main controls are at the bottom of the long side. In the middle is a physical home button, left them with a touch button to call up the multitasking menu on the left and a touch button allows you to go back one step.
The main problem with the layout emerges if we really are going to use in portrait mode. Tablet as a tablet If you have the device in your left hand to hold and operate with your right, your thumb rests always exactly on the back button . If you long press a menu on the right side of the display screen. So you’re in practice, constantly thinking about how you hold your hand when you use the tablet portet mode.
Lying tablet
All this makes the Tab S above a horizontal tablet, but we find personally but impractical. If we want a device that you are using a keyboard, for example, all we have to choose a laptop. We choose just one tablet thereby browse the Internet and read on the couch Twitter -. Especially actions that you want to use in portet mode
Incidentally, it is a separate option that the left button no menu button , but only a list of recent programs evokes. Samsung wants to thus focus primarily on the multitasking feature of the tablet, which is also reflected in various software tweaks.
Battery
We have the battery life of the device is not yet to test, because we Tab S only yesterday were in for testing, but our first impressions are all positive. fully An evening of browsing and working with the screen at high brightness caused little battery loss. Samsung says himself that the 7,900 mAh battery has a maximum length of up to 9 hours.
Software
Tab S runs on Google’s latest operating system, Android 4.4.2. You find good because the machine rotates very quickly – though we noticed after installing a few apps clear what was when we wanted to switch between applications
Also. immediately notice that there is a lot less stock apps on the tablet stand. Unlike Samsung Galaxy phones, this tablet is not cluttered with unnecessary junk that people in many cases are waiting. Obviously, we can expect the Play apps (Books, Music, Games, etc.), and in addition to a standard mail app must also necessarily Google Gmail app – but that luxury is found in every Android device back. A number of apps we saw not, the utility and we had quite less applications as Side Sync and WatchoOn want to see. Moreover, Samsung installs a number of its own apps, including Samsung Apps (app-ception!) and Samsung Go on the tablet, which we find unnecessary. But, especially if you compare it with the infinite load stock apps that the Galaxy smartphones is, you can use the Tab S certainly not complaining.
Widgets
It is not only apps that Samsung installs by default, but also quite a few screen widgets, such as a calendar, your email, or customize news feed. These fall under the category of useful, but we had been able to do without. All we have to mention that this is the personal preference of the author.
Multitasking
The operating system is packed with useful tools that allow multitasking. If you press and hold the back button long or if you swipe from the right side of the screen, a menu that allows you to open up. Most used apps quickly appears That appear next to each other on the screen, so you can multitask easily. Unfortunately it also makes the tablet slowly.
In addition, clicking anywhere that you can take a picture quick little circle on to your gallery or your email, and you can easily control your music there. The only bad thing is that round about all apps back state, and sometimes in places where “he’ll sit very annoying – as is the button instance Evernote exactly on the search button to go
Lag
The 1.9 GHz quad-core processor is a device in this price range is actually a bit disappointing – we expected something stronger. Especially with the fast switching between different apps you notice a definite lag, and also switch between different home screens sometimes feels slow and heavy. We suspect that this will only get worse if you move even more apps, because in our one evening with the device we can install., Only a limited number of applications
Conclusion
With the Galaxy S Tab 10.5 Samsung has once again delivered a wonderful tablet, notably the display attracts attention. The Full HD AMOLED screen is crisp and makes the tablet ideal for devouring movies through Netflix. The Tab S is the perfect multimedia tablet, but some work is concerned somewhat disappointing. Pretty soon you notice lag when you switch between multiple applications and multi-task features make the tablet a bit slow. Moreover, the Tab S built specifically for use in landscape mode, while we also want to use the device. Portet as tablet But if you tablet primarily for watching movies and series, then you’re using the Tab S very well.
Next week takes a comprehensive review site, when we have more with the tablet can work. The above is only a first impression after an evening with the Tab S. Maybe we’ll see something about the head and look at it wrong, but next week you get to read all the ins and outs of this device
