Wireless charging - the future for electric cars

It's electric, and like all battery-operated automobiles needs regular charging. "The charging is done wirelessly, you park up, turn off the key and voila... charging starts automatically," says Anthony Thomson, CEO of HaloIPT, a UK company that has installed the technology. The process uses electromagnetic induction to transfer power from a pad built into the ground to another installed in the bottom of the car. The system could be installed in a supermarket parking place, garage floor or the ground at a special charging station. When a driver parks the vehicle, the two pads line up and with a flick of a switch, the charging starts.

Texas executes 9/11 'revenge' killer

A man who embarked on a shooting spree in what he claimed was retaliation for 9/11 has been executed at a prison in Texas. The lone survivor of Mark Stroman's attack on convenience store workers in late 2001, Rais Bhuiyan, originally from Bangladesh, unsuccessfully sued to stop the execution, saying his religious beliefs as a Muslim required him to forgive the man. Stroman claimed the shooting spree that killed two men and injured a third targeted people from the Middle East, though all three victims were from south Asia. It was the death of 49-year-old Vasudev Patel, from India, that put Stroman on death row. Stroman's execution was the eighth this year in Texas.

Mac OS X Lion pounces

As promised, Apple let Mac OS X Lion out of its cage this morning. Version 10.7 of the operating system has more than 250 new features, Apple said, but an installation disc isn't one of them: it's available today for $29.99 as a 3.49GB download only. Apple enjoys pushing the computing industry into the future by dropping technology it deems to be from the past-for example floppy drives missing from the first iMac-and those who want a real-world copy of the OS will have to wait until Apple releases it on a USB thumb drive next month for $69. The Mac OS X download, available through the Mac App Store, dovetails with Apple's new MacBook Air and Mac Mini Lion-based computers. These new models are updated with Intel's modern Sandy Bridge processors and a high-speed Thunderbolt data transfer port-and none has a DVD drive for the next OS upgrade.

Google+ For iPhone Now The Top Free App In iTunes

Google+ for iPhone hit Apple's App Store a mere 24 hours ago but it's being downloaded like wildfire as it currently sitting atop the heap as the most popular free app available from iTunes. This is big news considering Google+ is still invitation-only and only has 18 million users so far, compared to Facebook's 750 million. That said, Google+ users can now upload contacts from Outlook and Mac address books (not Facebook, though), which may result in even bigger Google+ adoption numbers.

Steve Jobs dismisses rumors of his successor

Apple CEO and cancer survivor Steve Jobs is not keen on discussing speculation about who will replace him when the inevitable happens. This week, the Wall Street Journal reported that the company's board of directors have been discussing plans about who will take over the position that has been held by Jobs since the late 1990s, and perhaps the title that some will always bestow upon Jobs and Jobs alone, once the man is no longer able to hold the position himself. The Journal said it had credible information that the board has already been meeting with headhunters and "at least one head of a high-profile technology company."

Today more than ever we can see the games market for smartphones and tablets is growing. Developers are discovering the potential of developing computer games and also outside the consoles, and can now see games that offer a great gaming experience with impressive graphics such as: GTA 3 and Shadowgun thanks to the implementation of quad-core processor for mobile devices such as the Nvidia's Tegra 3. But unfortunately, there is one drawback hinders the game experience and is: (let's face it) touch screen. During the game, controlling traffic through the touch screen is very limited (especially on small screens) and most frustrating time. Although a number of third-party claim to solve this problem and offer physical controllers experience a much better game, but until today had not seen a company that makes smart phones and tablets Took up the challenge and decided to market itself to such controllers. But now, it is possible that this is going to change because the report received by the site AnandTech says that Apple itself is indeed working on developing games for physically visit Apple's iPhone and the iPad.



Play with the tablet 
Of reporting (which is basically an extended review of the new iPad ) said one of the authors (on the Android system supports game controllers while the system is Apple's iOS not) that "I know Apple's internal project designed to bring internal beef market, but whether he will the light of day we'll see. as smart phones and tablets compare the performance of the current generation of game consoles, I feel that the problem with the controls must be patient and give us an answer. " Cattle is estimated to get on the iPad device and will provide hardware buttons and allow a more comfortable grip of the tablet or iPhone, and along with it may be that Apple will open a store dedicated to games.

We must note that we have no reason to doubt the report of AnandTech, but as we know, the position of Apple over the years (the launch of iPhone first five years ago to the present) was touch screens are the best and the users do not need anything other than their fingers to control their devices . Apple was not ready to accept another alternative, the watering of cattle from Apple will play an admission of her touch screens are not always the best option and sometimes it should be replaced. On the other hand Recall that for quite some time Slmcsiri iPhone and the iPad is an external keyboard that connects to them via the BlueTooth Apple sells herself as an external accessory for devices, so that the position of Apple issue not so clear yet. Also, as you can guess from the company itself was not received any response regarding this publication. And logically, if the iPhone and iPad users buy external hardware devices, Apple certainly would prefer to buy products that it markets.

Meanwhile, we doubt the possibility that Apple indeed will market its own controller that, although perhaps Apple is working on a project like this and perhaps has already developed a kind of prototype, but between this and bring the product to market has a pretty big difference for such a move could create strategic change quite radically for Apple. We of course will continue to update you on the event More news will come, and in the meantime, tell us a comment, what do you think: Is the future of smartphones and tablets as a substitute for a portable gaming console?
