Could technology replace pills and prescriptions?

   

Bioelectronic medicine may one day let us tap into our own nervous systems.
Imagine a day when you go to the doctor and, instead of a prescription on paper, you come out with a tiny device attached to your nervous system and possibly a new app on your phone. No more worrying about what time you have to take a pill – all you need to do is let technology do its business. Believe it or not, this day may not be that far away.
The human nervous system is the bioelectrical infrastructure of your body. Now imagine you could hack it. Welcome to the field of bioelectronic medicine. It’s an area that asks: what if, instead of using drugs to treat a condition, implants could control and tweak our body’s functions? What if, somewhere down the line, you could combat a tumour by harnessing your neural signals?

The idea may sound far-flung, but the research around it has roots in one of the most common bodily responses – one that most of us have likely experienced at one point or another.

Cortana and on Android

Microsoft's Cortana virtual assistant is getting a facelift on iOS and Android aimed at making it more useful for users, and also bringing a bit of brightness to what's currently a rather dour interface.
The app's biggest change is the launch of a button that lets users quickly choose between a suite of common actions, like viewing their calendar at a glance, checking reminders, or getting a weather forecast. The app itself looks friendlier, with a purple gradient background replacing a stark black, white, and blue color scheme.

On top of that, Microsoft also announced on Thursday that the iOS and Android versions of Cortana are coming to the U.K., so that Brits will be able to use the virtual assistant. Microsoft has been slow to expand Cortana's geographic reach until the assistant has been set up to work with local social norms and other expectations.
The Cortana app is a key part of Microsoft's strategy with its virtual assistant. Windows smartphones are an extreme minority compared to the iOS- and Android-powered devices that overwhelmingly dominate the market. If Microsoft wants its virtual assistant to be ubiquitous, it's important to invest in a mobile app that works on other platforms.

Robots in agricultural farms .

Spraying with chemicals, monitoring and harvesting of crops that are labor intensive farmers take time. Scientists are already developing a robot that can perform some of these functions using radio frequency identification. Such a robot that can perform several processes at the same time thought it would help reduce the cost of farmers.

A robot with cameras and radio frequency sensors moving along the vineyards. Is an experimental mission during which the vines are sprayed with chemicals that need to be addressed. The prototype called "IdaBot" was developed by an engineering team at Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa Idaho State.
"You can program to set the trees that are defined here need chemicals. Each tree will have a tag, which is read by IdaBot to spray chemicals needed. "
Mr. Griffin said that the autonomous robot can be integrated with other technologies such as monitoring reverence. It sends drone camera view of trees, which are processed by a computer program. The red color of the light, the more chemicals will have tree.
The robot will help farmers save costs on working hours and allow spraying the trees only have needed.

Virtual reality for all .

Virtual reality is a new technology that reflects that can make application in many industries. New company grow every day, while the science of virtual reality, embodied in three-dimensional technology, continue to improve and develop. For consumers, it may sometimes be costly to have the device to view a photo or video so three-dimensional, but a company in the region of Silicon Valley-t, the leader is trying to make virtual reality usable by All:
Utomo Yosen no ordinary job. He spends most of the time seeing through the lens smaller and hopes that the work you do will be rewarded one day.

" It's in my blood to take risk on myself." - He says.

Utomo is originally from Indonesia. He is one of the founders of the company Fulldive. This company has several offices in Silicon Valley and in Russia. It has created a new application, to be used by anyone who has smartphone, creating the possibility of Use of Technology three-dimensional.

Android Marshmallow on PC Falls Flat

The Android-x86 Project eventually may become a viable operating system alternative for your desktop and laptops computers, but it's not there yet. You will have to wait a while for the developers to fix a number of failures with the latest release upgrading Android-x86 to Marshmallow 6.0.1.

The developers late this summer released the first stable version of Android-x86 6.0, codenamed "Marshmallow." Android-x86 lets you run the Android OS with the Google Chrome browser on your desktop and laptop computers, rather than buying one of the qualified Chromebooks with the Google Play Store features bolted on.

10 things about 3D displays

1 3D TV was initially a flop

There was hype around 3D-capable TVs in 2012 and 2013, but it wasn’t matched by interest from viewers. The BBC’s decision in July 2013 to take a three-year break from making 3D programmes reflected the flop, as the head of its 3D trial said: “It’s the right time for a good old pause.”

The brain can interact directly with virtual reality .

Not only science fiction is the idea that the brain can be directly linked to a Computing virtual world, as imagined in the film "Matrix".
Scientists led by Rajesh Rao, University of Washington, have managed to do the first step to show, through a video game, that human beings can interact with virtual realities by stimulating the brain.
In this study published in the journal "Frontiers in Robotics and AI", the researchers describe what's demonstration of the first people to play a video game simply by using only the data coming from the stimulation of the brain, without using any kind of signal that comes out of sight, hearing and touch.
