A Smartphone with 12GB RAM, 1TB storage unveiled



We have already started seeing Android Smartphones with 6GB of RAM space and though we are presently wondering if we really need a mobile phone with whooping 6GB of RAM but trust me on this in the near future 6GB RAM smartphones will be the common playground for most mobile phone manufacturers and anything with 1-2GB RAM storage will be laughed off. When the Android phones first came out, it seemed like the 512MB of RAM, which they were then packed with were good enough for day to day usage. But times changed, Android Kitkat came with smartphones packing 2GB of RAM and  it was followed by Android Lollipop that came with 3-4GB RAM packed phones, OnePlus 2 and Zenfone 2 from Asus being the firsts in line. This year things have evolved more and we have already seen a few 6GB RAM mobiles




Turing Robotics Industries (TRI) announced the Turing Phone Cadenza in a mailing list, according to a report in AndroidPolice. On paper, it is easily the best smartphone in the world. The phone is powered by not one but two of the rumoured Qualcomm Snapdragon 830 chipsets, supported by 2 6GB RAM modules, giving the phone a total of 12GB RAM. The rear camera is 60 megapixels, and the front camera is 20 megapixels. Perhaps to compensate for the lower megapixel count on the selfie shooter, there are two front cameras included.

The phone offers 1TB of storage with two 256Gb memory chips for on board memory, and an additional 500GB available through micro-SD card slots. There is a 2400 mAh graphene supercapacitor battery, a 1600 mAh lithium ion battery, and a hydrogen fuel cell. Yes, the phone has three power sources, there is no information yet if the batteries are removable. The phone supports four nano sim cards, two of which can be used for expanding the storage, because, why not?


The phone will run on the Swordfish OS, which seems to be some kind of a fork of the Linux based Sailfish OS. The OS promises some advanced AI based embedded features, including a memory network and a neural network. There will be natural language processing built into the phone. There is something called “VoiceOn” technology, which seems to be able to turn your phone on and off with voice commands. Voice can also be used for bio-metric authentication, as against a retina scanner or a fingerprint scanner, which are used by any peasant. There is also “Advanced AI Voice”, which could potentially mean a voice based intelligent assistant.

We are wondering if there is enough space to fit all of this into one phone. The body is made up of liquid metal, used by Apple to make the sim card ejector tools, and and the durable Graphene Oxide. The phone is not a concept device, and the company plans to start shipping the devices in 2017. Previously announced phones by TRI have faced repeated delays, according to AndroidPolice, so this could just be the high end brother of the Freedom 251. AndroidHeadlines explores the possibility that this phone is a bit of a joke because the specifications seems to be just a wishlist of everything that people want in a phone.

Another speculation with 60 MP Cam, 18 gb ram and 1.2 TB storage in the making. Do subscribe and follow us on YouTube for review, unboxing videos and gameplays on YouTube channel INFINITEJAYZ. Thanks.

You May Face A 3-Year Jail Term For Just Looking At Torrent Websites In India.




Remember the time you tried to ban porn websites earlier and how it outraged most of us? Well, you’re trying to do the same thing by banning my torrent websites. In fact, you want to ban the very idea of torrents.


You see, If you visit a torrent website you are committing a crime. According to the Indian Government, if you even attempt to look at a torrent website, you can earn yourself a 3 lakh fine and land yourself in Jail for up to 3 years. Their ban is so ridiculous that not only downloading a torrent file is banned, but even viewing an image hosting website like Imagebam is a crime. C’mon Government dudes, who the hell is making these lists and why the fuck is it so poorly compiled?

If you visit a torrent website in the near future you will get a warning like this:

"This URL has been blocked under the instructions of the Competent Government Authority or in compliance with the orders of a Court of competent jurisdiction. Viewing, downloading, exhibiting or duplicating an illicit copy of the contents under this URL is punishable as an offence under the laws of India, including but not limited to under Sections 63, 63-A, 65 and 65-A of the Copyright Act, 1957 which prescribe imprisonment for 3 years and also fine of upto Rs. 3,00,000/-. Any person aggrieved by any such blocking of this URL may contact at urlblock@tatacommunications.com who will, within 48 hours, provide you the details of relevant proceedings under which you can approach the relevant High Court or Authority for redressal of your grievance"

Most of these ‘compiled’ URLs are blocked via your DNS. They filter these websites via the DNS filter and block them via a list that is maintained by your internet service provider. You can easily bypass this by using Google’s very own DNS service. However, you can still be traced by the government.  Alternatives include using VPN software to access torrent websites that is much safer in our opinion.

Please be safe when you access Torrents in the next few days, you might just end up in jail and they don’t have WI-FI over there.

The 5 Biggest Problems With The iPhone 7.


During the Apple Event last week, the tech giant revealed a number of big, positive changes coming to the iPhone 7. It’s thinner. The camera is better. And, perhaps best of all, the iPhone 7 is finally water resistant.


Still, while there may be plenty to like about the new iPhone, there’s plenty more that’s left us disappointed. Enough, at least, to make smartphone shoppers consider waiting until 2017, when Apple is reportedly going to let loose on all cylinders with an all-glass chassis design.

Here are the five biggest problems with Apple’s iPhone 7.


1. The 3.5 mm audio jack is gone.

Much ado has already been made about this “courageous” change. Apple’s engineers have effectively “innovated” the 3.5 mm audio jack out of existence.

The 100-year-old technology has worked perfectly in myriad devices as one of the few conveniently universal jacks available to consumers. It works just as well on iPhone or an Android phone or a Sony Walkman.

But Apple, in its infinite wisdom, has ditched the audio jack in favor of proprietary hardware. The new iPhone 7 will only work with earbuds that use the Lightning connector, used to charge the phone, or with expensive wireless headphones.

The downsides to both these options are plenty. With the Lightning connector, you won’t be able to charge and listen at the same time. Worse, the adapter that comes with the phone will get lost easily, making a new headphone purchase almost inevitable.

Meanwhile, wireless “AirPods” will have to be charged, adding to the litany of rechargeable gadgets littering our kitchen counters, from phones to watches and now to headphones.

According to Apple, they’ve done all this to make the iPhone 7 thinner and more water resistant. It’s hard not to suspect that the real reason was to sell more accessories. There was nothing wrong with the audio jack, and other phone manufacturers have made water resistant phones that included it, like the Galaxy S7 which has even higher-rated water resistance than Apple’s latest phone.


2. No wireless charging or fast charging still.


The iPhone 7 still falls behind the competition when it comes to basic charging technology.

While numerous phones have wireless charging, using some sort of charging pad that you simply set your phone on, the iPhone 7 still needs to be plugged in.

This is even more of an issue when you consider the previous listed problem—the missing 3.5 mm audio jack.


Likewise, there’s no fast charging available to the iPhone 7. Phones from LG, Samsung and other manufacturers still charge twice as fast (or faster) than the iPhone 7.

That may not seem like a huge issue, but being able to quickly charge a phone while on the go is becoming more and more important the more our smartphones become integral to our daily lives.


3. The iPhone 7′s LED display is still just 750p.


The iPhone 7′s screen isn’t terrible, by any means, but in terms of resolution it’s hardly high-end either. Its resolution is a measly 750p.

While the iPhone 7 Plus has a 1080p display, the standard model falls well behind much of the competition. Samsung’s Galaxy S7 boasts a 1440p display, outshining both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

Other phones, such as Sony’s Z5 Premium, are releasing with 4K UHD displays.

750p is child’s play in the current phone market, and a pretty massive letdown for the iPhone 7.


4. No USB-C or expandable storage.


Many people were hoping that Apple would abandon its Lightning connector in favor of the much more universal USB-C, that’s becoming more and more ubiquitous by the day.

Alas, proprietary hardware rules the roost once again in the iPhone 7 (though Apple uses USB-C in other products.) This is a bummer for consumers who are sick of myriad cables and chargers. Indeed, replacing the Lightning connector with a USB-C slot would have made the removal of the 3.5 mm audio jack much more palatable.

There’s also no expandable storage on the iPhone 7 still, though this comes as little surprise. At least the new phone has double the baseline storage capacity of its predecessor — 32GB — though Apple has made the odd decision of bumping the iPhone 6 base model to 32GB as well.


Proprietary jacks and no expandable storage make the iPhone 7 a much less appealing purchase than many of its competitors.


5. There’s no “wow” factor.


Last, but not least, the iPhone 7 simply fails to “wow” us. It looks incredibly similar to the iPhone 6, and feels more like a half-generational bump than a new model.

This is likely because the 2017 model is supposed to be the big, evolutionary leap forward, but that’s still no excuse for Apple — if you’ll pardon the term — phoning it in with the iPhone 7.

Apple customers are used to much more drastic, exciting changes. The iPhone 7 is conservative and, quite frankly, boring.

Indeed, probably the most exciting news (outside of water resistance) is the first Mario game coming to iOS, but even that is just another endless runner style game.

Ultimately, the iPhone 7 is the least exciting hardware upgrade we’ve seen from Apple in years. That may make next year’s model worth the wait, assuming it lives up to all the hype and rumors.


Verdict

The iPhone 7 is certainly a step forward from the iPhone 6 in terms of basic functionality. A better camera, more storage and water resistance all make it Apple’s “best phone yet.”

But of course it is. The new model always exceeds the previous model. The problem with the iPhone 7 is that it does so in such a humdrum fashion, and ditches a tech standby — the 3.5mm audio jack — in the process.

This isn’t a great deal for consumers. Waiting for the next big thing, or browsing the competitions’ offerings, makes more sense at this point.

Apple will need to do better next year. The smartphone wars are only growing more and more fierce, especially as China becomes a larger player with higher quality, and much cheaper, offerings.

The Amazing And True Story Of Hachiko The Dog





Have you ever heard of Hachiko the dog? No? Neither had I until a few months ago, but if you ever go to Japan then odds are you will hear about him.

Hachiko is a national hero to the Japanese! A dog so famous there have been several movies made about him. He has his own statue next to Shibuya Train Station in Tokyo, where every day hundreds of people have their photograph taken with him.

Even Hollywood has made a movie about Hachiko!



So why is the Hachiko story so famous you may wonder?

Well I am happy you asked, because here I will give you the amazing, real and very sad story about Hachiko the dog.

Once Upon A Time There Was A Dog Named Hachiko

Eizaburo Ueno, professor in agriculture science at Tokyo University, had long wanted a pure bred Japanese Akita dog. He had looked for the perfect Akita puppy for a long time, until one of this students encouraged him to adopt Hachiko, from the Odate city in Akita prefecture.

Hachiko, or Hachi which became his nickname, and his new owner soon became best friends, and Eizaburo loved his dog above all and treated him as his son. The two of them were inseparable.



As Hachiko grew older, he started to see his owner off to work in the morning at the Shibuya Train Station, in central Tokyo, and went to pick him up at the station in the afternoon when he returned from work.

On May 21, 1925, only two years after Hachiko was born, Hachiko was as usually sitting by the exit at Shibuya train station waiting for his dear Eizaburo. But his owner never showed up…..



It turned out that Eizaburo had suffered from a cerebral haemorrhage and died suddenly and unexpectedly while at work.

Hachiko moved in with a former gardener of the Ueno family, but throughout the rest of his ten year long life he kept going to the Shibuya Train Station every morning and afternoon precisely when the train was due to enter the station, waiting in vain for the return of his beloved owner which sadly never came back.



A major Japanese newspaper reporter picked up the story of Hachiko in 1932 and published it, which led to Hachiko becoming a celebrity all over Japan.

People started calling him “Chuken-Hachiko”, which means “Hachiko – the faithful dog”.

The story of the dog that never gave up gained a lot of attention also in national media, inspiring many people from all over the world to visit Hachiko at Shibuya Train Station to offer him treats.



Hachiko Dog Statue

In 1934 a statue of Hachiko was unveiled at a grand ceremony in front of Shibuya train station with Hachiko himself present as the main guest.




Hachiko passed away peacefully and alone on the street near Shibuya train station on March 8, 1935, 12 years old.

Hachiko is now on display at the National Science Museum in Ueno, Tokyo.

Today the Hachiko bronze statue is a popular attraction outside of Shibuya train station, especially among young Japanese.

Karoly Takacs : True Story that will change your life



Karoly Takacs : A Hero, An Inspiration


                                                  
 
 
You’ve probably never heard of him. However, in Hungary, he’s a national hero – everybody there knows his name and his incredible story. After reading his story, you’ll never forget him…
In 1938, Karoly Takacs of the Hungarian Army, was the top pistol shooter in the world. He was expected to win the gold in the 1940 Olympic Games scheduled for Tokyo.
Those expectations vanished one terrible day just months before the Olympics. While training with his army squad, a hand grenade exploded in Takacs’ right hand, and Takacs’ shooting hand was blown off.

Takacs spent a month in the hospital depressed at both the loss of his hand, and the end to his Olympic dream. At that point most people would have quit. And they would have probably spent the rest of their life feeling sorry for themselves. Most people would have quit but not Takacs. Takacs was a winner. Winners know that they can’t let circumstances keep them down. They understand that life is hard and that they can’t let life beat them down. Winners know in their heart that quitting is not an option.

Takacs did the unthinkable; he picked himself up, dusted himself off, and decided to learn how to shoot with his left hand! His reasoning was simple. He simply asked himself, “Why not?”
Instead of focusing on what he didn’t have – a world class right shooting hand, he decided to focus on what he did have – incredible mental toughness, and a healthy left hand that with time, could be developed to shoot like a champion.


For months Takacs practiced by himself. No one knew what he was doing. Maybe he didn’t want to subject himself to people who most certainly would have discouraged him from his rekindled dream.
 
 
                         
 
 
In the spring of 1939 he showed up at the Hungarian National Pistol Shooting Championship. Other shooters approached Takacs to give him their condolences and to congratulate him on having the strength to come watch them shoot. They were surprised when he said, “I didn’t come to watch, I came to compete.” They were even more surprised when Takacs won!

The 1940 and 1944 Olympics were cancelled because of World War II. It looked like Takacs’ Olympic Dream would never have a chance to realize itself. But Takacs kept training and in 1944 he qualified for the London Olympics. At the age of 38, Takacs won the Gold Medal and set a new world record in pistol shooting. Four years later, Takacs won the Gold Medal again at the 1952 Helsinki Olympics. Takacs – a man with the mental toughness to bounce back from anything.
Winners in every field have a special trait that helps them become unstoppable. A special characteristic that allows them to survive major setbacks on the road to success. Winners recover QUICKLY. Bouncing back is not enough.Winners bounce back QUICKLY. They take their hit, they experience their setback, they have the wind taken out of their sails, but they immediately recover. Right away they FORCE themselves to look at the bright side of things – ANY bright side, and they say to themselves,“That’s OK. There is always a way. I will find a way.” They dust themselves off, and pick up where they left off.


The reason quick recovery is important is that if you recover quickly, you don’t lose your momentum and your drive. Takacs recovered in only one month. If he had wallowed in his misery, if he had stayed “under the circumstances,” if he had played the martyr, and felt sorry for himself much longer, he would have lost his mental edge – his “eye of the tiger” and he never would have been able to come back.


When a boxer gets knocked down, he has ten seconds to get back up. If he gets up in eleven seconds, he loses the fight. Remember that next time you get knocked down.
Takacs definitely had a right to feel sorry for himself. He had a right to stay depressed and to ask himself “Why me?” for the rest of his life. He had the right to act like a mediocre man.
Takacs could have let his terrible accident cause him to become permanently discouraged, to take up heavy drinking, to quit on life alltogether, and maybe even to end his own life. He could have acted like a loser.
But Takacs made the DECISION to dig deep inside and to find a solution. To pick himself up and to learn to shoot all over again. Winners always search for a solution. Losers always search for an escape.


Next time you get knocked down, DECIDE you will act like a winner. DECIDE to act like Takacs. Get up quickly, take action, and astound the world!

The Last Cab Ride



 
Twenty years ago, I drove a cab for a living. One time I arrived in the middle of the night for a pick up at a building that was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.

Under these circumstances, many drivers would just honk once or twice, wait a minute, then drive away. But I had seen too many impoverished people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation. Unless a situation smelled of danger, I always went to the door. This passenger might be someone who needs my assistance, I reasoned to myself. So I walked to the door and knocked.
“Just a minute,” answered a frail, elderly voice.


I could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80’s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940s movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase.
The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.
“Would you carry my bag out to the car?” she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb. She kept thanking me for my kindness.

“It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good boy,” she said. When we got in the cab, she gave me an address, then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice.”
I looked in the rear view mirror. Her eyes were glistening.
“I don’t have any family left,” she continued. “The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. “What route would you like me to take?” I asked.
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she’d ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico. Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move. They must have been expecting her. I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair.


“How much do I owe you?” she asked, reaching into her purse.
“Nothing,” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered.
“There are other passengers.”
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.
“You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,” she said. “Thank you.”
I squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.

I didn’t pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly, lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away? On a quick review, I don’t think that I have done anything more important in my life. We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware—beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.

Stand Alone



“All of our unhappiness comes from our inability to be alone.” – Jean de la Bruyere

Being alone and being lonely are not the same thing.

I am used to spending time alone. I’ve been single for years and I was technically an only child until I was fourteen. However, over the past two years I learned how to really be alone and I have grown to love it.


This has caused many people in my life to worry about me. They think something is wrong. They think I am depressed and unhappy. Whilst others think I have become unsociable and some have taken it personally.

  
Up until two years ago I had always been a socially active person. As soon I was old enough, I would meet up with friends and family, attend talks, workshops and exhibitions and go clubbing. I was known as the person who was always busy and never home.

The truth is that I found it exhausting but I didn’t know any other way to be. It was the only way I knew how to be part of a social circle that I could relate to in any way.

I am a very private person and although I connect with people easily, I am selective about making friends and letting people into my life. So, rather than be alone, I did what I needed to in order to stay part of my social circle.

I always felt like I didn’t quite relate or fit in, but at the same time I didn’t want to stand out or be different — I wanted to feel part of the group. We had similar backgrounds and shared an interest in music, attending concerts, eating out and travelling. I had many fun and enjoyable times, but I couldn’t help but feel as though something was missing.

Depth and substance.  That’s what was missing.
I can remember Saturday nights at a club, when my feet were hurting because I hate wearing heels, thinking I’d rather be at home with a mug of hot chocolate, reading a book or watching a film. I would look around and think I don’t fit in here and I don’t want to be here. I would feel self-conscious so despite not wanting to, I would have a couple of alcoholic beverages to avoid feeling out of place.

I longed to connect with people who thought like me, shared my interests and passion for life as well as people who could challenge my thinking, inspire me and introduce me to new experiences.
I grew up with young parents who had a volatile relationship. Growing up, much of my time was spent with my parents, stuck in the middle of their disagreements and forced to mediate.
In the years that followed, my family life continued to be absorbed by conflict and friction. Even after I moved out at 22, my life was dictated by my family’s constant disagreements and inability to communicate effectively.

So peace and alone time is something I had never experienced.  In fact, it wasn’t even something I knew I wanted until two years ago when I was at an emotional breaking point and peace and alone time were the only two things that kept me sane.

I had to take a step back from life.

Emotionally I was exhausted and did not have the energy to connect or socialise with anyone. I withdrew myself and began to spend time alone. I sent a message to those closest to me and explained that I needed some time out.

I spent time reading and watching films. I also attended talks and workshops, rekindled my love of art and learned to make candles.

Initially my choice was respected, however after a few months, my behaviour was questioned and there was doubt around my happiness – how could I be happy spending so much time on my own? Was I really happy?

The truth is spending time alone is how I rediscovered my happiness.

I had time to reflect on what made me happy and what had been causing me pain. I became aware of the people in my life who contributed positive energy and intentions and those who did not. Most importantly, for the first time in my life, I felt peace.

The constant disruption had been removed and I could finally hear my inner voice. I began to get present with my needs and values and confront my beliefs and fears.

Time alone gave me access to the root cause of my pain and frustration and allowed me to create peace in my life. I learned that until you can find peace with yourself, you cannot find peace in the world.

As I embraced being alone, I learned to enjoy my own company. I no longer felt the need to fit in socially and I found the strength to be authentic and say no to anyone or anything that made me unhappy.

When you spend time on your own, you are faced with yourself and you are forced to acknowledge all the aspects of your life that are not working and that you dislike.

You may be challenged by the people in your life. People do not like change and not everyone reacts positively to the choices you make about changing your thoughts, views, beliefs or behaviour.

Initially, being alone can be lonely.  However, once you reach a place where you are content in your own company, you will discover that a relationship with yourself is the most important relationship you’ll ever have.

I’d love you to share your experience. How do you feel about spending time alone?
