Voice commands In Google Glass firmware's new feature: Exclusive report

As our report on the latest Google Glass firmware hints at what features may come to Google's high-tech gadget & also its source of uses.

Google seems to be preparing many more features for Google Glass ahead of an eventual public launch. An examination of the latest Google Glass firmware by Android Police hints at what features may come to Google's high-tech specs. Most notably, users could have a much longer list of voice commands to work with.
Here's the full list of new commands that Android Police spotted in the firmware:

• Add a Calendar Event
• Call Me a Car
• Capture a Panorama
• Check Me In
• Create a 3D Model
• Find a Recipe
• Learn a Song
• Play a Game
• Play Music
• Record a Recipe
• Remind Me To...
• Show a Compass
• Start a Bike Ride
• Start a Round of Golf
• Start a Run
• Start a Stopwatch
• Start a Timer
• Translate This
• Tune an Instrument

This is simple, everyone wanted to use all this staff in one, check for this

Apps may provide some features
 
Keep in mind that not all Glass functions are built in by default. Some of them are enabled by third-party apps. (For instance, Glass users can currently say "Take a Note" to record their thoughts in Evernote.) Commands such as "Tune and Instrument" or "Start a Bike Ride" could very well be tied to a third-party app. Right now, the app selection on Glass is tightly restricted, but that could change with a proper app store coming next year when the device is supposedly coming available to the general public.
Related to the "Play Music" functionality, the latest firmware hints at music controls coming to Glass, with mentions of album art, track listings, and a radio icon. It's possible that users could someday play music through the device, but the more-likely possibility is remote playback controls for other devices, such as televisions and tablets.
The other big discovery is the theoretical expansion of eye controls for Glass, with a "double blink" detector mentioned in the firmware. I say "theoretical" because Google does not officially support eye control, though the unsanctioned " Winky" app allows users to snap photos with a blink. Google is treading lightly with eye controls due to the privacy implications, but we do know the company is interested in eye tracking as an advertising tool.
The current "Explorer Edition" of Google Glass is only available to a limited number of people who filled out an application, at a price of $1,500. Google hasn't said when it will launch a final product for consumers, but sometime next year seems likely. In the meantime, some of the features of Glass, such as Google Now integration , could also find their way into a smartwatch if recent rumors prove accurate.

Why Apple Wants Its Software to Be Free??

Fear Or Plan ?

Craig Federighi, senior vice president of software engineering at Apple, unveils the new OS X at the Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco

Who knew Apple would become such a big shareware company?

Today’s product event in San Francisco will be known more for the introduction of new iPads, MacBooks, and Mac Pros, but what might be even more interesting is how Apple has decided to give away key software for free, including its long-awaited upgrade to Mac OS X, code-named Mavericks.

Mavericks and two other software suites, iWork and iLife, are now available for download free of charge. This continues an ongoing trend at Apple of lowering software prices—the previous version of Mac OS X, Mountain Lion, cost only $30. Compare that with Microsoft (MSFT), which charges $120 for the base version of its latest operating system, Windows 8.1, and $200 for Windows 8.1 Pro.

By going free, Apple has acknowledged something that’s been true in the industry for years: Software is a means to sell hardware. Sure, there are some specialized applications that can command a hefty profit margin, but bread-and-butter applications used in the mainstream are not things you sell. They are things people get when they turn on that shiny new object they just shelled out for.

This runs counter to Microsoft’s DNA as—at least until very recently—a software company. And let’s give Redmond some credit: That strategy worked really, really well for a while. But just as there’s been a shift in interest to well-designed devices (as opposed to the beige boxes that defined the PC era), so has there been an expectation that software be as seamless and costless as possible. Your browser is free, so is Gmail/Yahoo Mail/etc. and Google Maps doesn’t cost anything.

Apple’s strategy here is to get you on a device and with the latest version of its software as quickly and painlessly as possible. Does it want to get caught up in the intricacies of a pricing scheme for OS X Mavericks? No, it does not. Better to just remove price as a consideration and make it part of the device you’re using. Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook likes to talk about the perfect integration of hardware and software that Apple aims to achieve. By making OS X, iLife, and iWork free of charge, it can achieve that goal even faster.

(New Record) BBM Appliication installation in its first day on Android more than 1 million: Update Review

BBM is again on top, but not by its own. This time  because of Android. check out

We're getting our first look at the popularity of the recently released BBM for Android. Fresh out of the gate, the Google Play listing has placed the app in the 1 million to 5 million category. Those are total installations, and not "current" installs, so you've got to keep those numbers in context. Still. More than 1 million installs — and potentially as many as 5 million (we've got an e-mail in seeking more specific numbers) in a day is nothing to sneeze at.

Additionally, BBM's garnered more than 87,000 star reviews on Google Play — with the vast majority a full five stars.

A pretty big caveat, though — remember that there's a waiting list. So you can install the app, but you might not be able to use it just yet.

It's also worth keeping in mind that BBM doesn't work on nearly 30 percent of existing Android phones. BBM runs on Android 4.*, which as of the beginning of October made up 69 percent of active devices, according to the Android platform versions chart.

But either way, it's pretty damned impressive for BlackBerry — and for what many of us consider a dying platform.

Sure, but we can say, its was good for android user or for BBM?

Nokia Duel boot phone Vs Android: Officeil update.

"I am pretty sure there are many peoples like me who are sick of *Nokia Must Go Android* argument."

Nokia and Microsoft Windows Phone

I have explained it many times in comments the reasons why Nokia mustn’t go with Android but I guess a entire article must be necessary to get those people to understand why Nokia shouldn’t Go Android (However, I am sure they won’t understand this either).

1. Android is Big Pond with so many fishes and even sharks. Nokia is what I define right now is the wounded fish which is trying to recover, however when you jump on a big pond with so many threats its not easy to survive.

2. Now there are peoples who suggest that Nokia should go for Android as well as Windows Phone. No matter how bright this idea sounds it has its cons that are enough to suggest that its a bad decision

a. Android has so many OEMs and so many options even if Nokia makes an Android Phone how are they supposed to differentiate from the crowd, sure 1020 is super different but just based on that who wanna buy all products Nokia will put out?

b. Given Nokia has what you call Best Brand Value it still doesn’t have a brand value inside of Android for example like Samsung has with Galaxy.

c. Jumping on two boats is never a smart option

d. They will lose their identity as only Windows Phone Maker.

e. Nokia is not healthy enough to push android devices not enough capital to experiment(NSN Purchase)

3. Android is a Open Source OS with every XYZ company making a SmartPhone and also calling it the *Best SmartPhone Ever*, so small players will eventually phase out Samsung, LG, Sony etc etc. Don’t believe me? Read the IDC analysis it will give you a hint of future of Android.

4. Microsoft practically plays nice with Nokia because Nokia is making their Windows Phone a Viable Option, Yes I love Microsoft but truth be told if it wasn’t for Nokia, Windows Phone would have been over by now. So now when Nokia faces issues Sugar daddy is there and if Nokia goes android they are giving away a reason for MIcrosoft to back away.

5. Think about Nokia what comes in your Mind, whatever the thoughts are i am sure Windows Phone is also a part of it, so when someone shows their android phone to me I pull out my Lumia from my pocket and frankly they are like WOW. Because its different not blends in with crowd of Android Phones from every cheap company ever.

6. Windows Phone are taking of now, Yes it wasn’t this late Elop has thought but strategy is paying off, sales of Lumias are increasing every quarter that’s a positive sign.

7. Nokia is a company I know from my early days of phones, Playing Space Impact, Snake, Taking my first Photograph from a phone ever and I am sure many peoples have same memories and have a special place for Nokia and by being different from crowd they make em special(I know this one doesn’t have much logic but in all fairness i am a Nokia Fan)

So, these are my reasons for why Nokia shouldn’t go Android what you all think?

Galaxy Note 10.1 - 2014 Edition spotted in U.K. sporting 16GB of storage for £499

Tablet to actually go on sale to consumers next week

We're just over a week since the Galaxy Note 10.1-2014 Edition made its way to the U.S., and now the latest big tablet from Samsung is popping up at U.K. retailers. A reader has just sent in this image from a Currys/PC World in the U.K. where the tablet is up on display at £499.99 for 16GB of storage and Wifi connectivity. Interestingly the processor is listed as "quad core," even though the model hitting the U.S. is an octa-core (but we wouldn't be surprised if this was a typo in the end).
The tipster indicates that the store will actually sell you one starting next week, even though they're already on display this weekend. We don't have any other solid indication of pricing or availability at other stores, although some online retailers such as Clove have the tablet listed at £479.99 for the Wifi model.

Sony SmartWatch 2 is IP57 water and dust resistant

The Sony SmartWatch 2 doesn't mind a little dunk or three

There seems to be a little confusion out there among wearable enthusiasts and soon-to-be wearable enthusiasts about the Sony SmartWatch 2 and any level of water resistance. A representative of the company has assured me that the SW2 is indeed IP 57 rated for water and dust resistance. This is the same as the Xperia Z, and it means:

• 5: Ingress of dust is not entirely prevented, but it must not enter in sufficient quantity to interfere with the satisfactory operation of the equipment.
• 7: Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion). 

That's all I needed to hear. Hit the break to see the Sony SmartWatch 2 meeting a glass of ice-cold West Virginia mountain spring water.

Nexus 5 makes a brief appearance on Google Play, listed at $349

Nexus 5 Review:

• 
  

The tag line, as you can see, reads:

"Capture the everyday and the epic in fresh new ways. Starting at $349."

That's a pretty good sign that we'll see more than one SKU (aka retail version), meaning we'll (obviously) see more than one storage size. 16-gigabyte version, so that's a pretty good starting point. also points to a "black" version — a pretty good indication we might see other colors as well. Figure white, of course.
