IPhone 6

IPhone 6 is a remarkable new phone but it is to big some say and that you can’t hold it or grip it. I don’t think that it is that good and if i ever had the phone i would drop it. The iPhone 6 Plus’ camera lens protrudes from the backside of the device. It appears that Apple has even taken steps to hide this in its marketing materials that it’s by way of “clever lighting and placement [that] Apple hides that bump in profile view where it clearly would ruin the clean line and sleek looks. “The lens design also means that the phone doesn't sit level when you lay it on a table, as seen below:

The good thing about the iPhone 6 is that it takes way better pictures than any of their other phones. It does look bigger so you can see the screen. The iPhone 6 generated massive lines as first week sales exceeded 10 million (11% increase year-over-year). However, the $100 price differential between the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus will translate into higher revenue growth than unit growth.

Reviews for the iPhone 6 were solid. Engaged went ahead and rated the device an 87/100. The bigger display, better battery life and added camera features (optical image stabilization) gave the iPhone a positive rating.Component suppliers geard up for 80 million iPhone 6 units by the end of calendar year 2014. Apple will gain a much larger percentage of the high-end of the smartphone segment, and it's likely that Apple's market position in developed markets will improve. The uptake in demand is partially driven by consumers upgrading from lower tier devices into the high-end, paired with market share gains against Android OEMs. Review When Apple released the first commercially available multi-touch phone in 2007, it had to decide how big it should be. And it got it right first time. Yet this year’s new models – the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus both break that would. The iPhone 6 Plus, which we review tomorrow, makes a feature of its bigness; but the straight iPhone 6 is just this year’s new iPhone, and it’s not obvious why it needed to gain square in change. While the iPhone 6 Plus does offer fairly competitive battery life, the iPhone 6 still doesn’t add significant headway here; the capacity of its battery stands at 1,800mAh – the handset is gloriously thin but personally I’d gladly give up 2-3mm here in return for a higher capacity battery. Although the new phone features many refinements to make it more power efficient, the fact remains it still has a much larger screen to power too.

Military Vehicles

                                    Military vehicles

Throughout U.S. history, advances in military capability have been fueled by innovation. All branches of the military consistently have managed to use technology in new and creative ways to gain an edge over the enemy.

The wars of the past decade exposed an “innovation gap” that forced the U.S. military to play catch up, and react to enemy tactics — such as roadside bombs and sniper attacks — rather than anticipating them. The Defense Department’s research-and-development apparatus was slow to respond with new and improved weapons based on changing threats. Critics have called for the Pentagon to stop wasting money on science projects that target undefined hypothetical future wars, focus on systems that they know deployed forces need, and to move them to the field in weeks or months, not years or decades. Innovation is not helpful if it’s not assisting troops at war. As many senior Pentagon officials have noted, an 80-percent solution that can be available in months is better than a perfect outcome that could take years or decades to achieve.

In this special report, National Defense identifies 10 key technologies that U.S. forces likely will need to fight the next war. Regardless of where or when that conflict might be, there is widespread consensus that advances in certain key areas would benefit U.S. forces.

Examples are faster and quieter helicopters, advanced crowd-control weapons, lighter infantry equipment that doesn’t overburden troops, ultra-light trucks and better battlefield communications. In the maritime realm, Navy leaders have for years been seeking stealthy mini-submarines that can be remotely operated, and fast bulletproof power boats for anti-piracy and coastal security operations.

Accurate intelligence about the enemy is always on the military’s wish list, and success in future conflicts will require technologies that can perform persistent surveillance to help identify enemies and friendly forces. Robots that can operate autonomously also will be essential tools of war, not necessarily to fire weapons, but to conduct mundane tasks such as delivering cargo.

This is what I agree with and what I like and interest me about military vehicles.

                           Google Glass

                                 By: Katelyn Mundt

First, let's talk about the contraption that's been drawing all that attention. The glasses, as you can clearly see, are not like your typical spectacles. Inside the right arm are the parts of a smartphone-- a processor, 16GB of storage, a Bluetooth radio, a small battery and more.

On the front, you have that star of the show -- a small little glass square. That's the screen, and when you put the glasses on you can adjust them so that it sits slightly above the top of your right eye. If worn right it really doesn't obscure your line of vision. No, I haven't been walking into walls. In fact, when I picked up my Glass, a Google employee (or Glass Guide) fit me for them and showed me how to slightly glance up to see the screen. You can also adjust or swivel that screen when you have it on to bring it closer in or out from your eye.

(If you're a leftie and wondering why everything is on the right side, it's a good question. Google doesn't have plans at the moment to make a left-sided pair; it says most people are right-eye dominant.)

The glasses pair with your phone to get connectivity. There is iPhone support now for some functions, but Android support is much deeper. Using the Android My Glass app you can configure the connection and even use a Screencast feature, which mirrors the Glass display on the phone. (An iPhone app is coming, though Google wouldn't give me a firm timeframe on when.) You pair them with your phone via Bluetooth and if you have Bluetooth tethering you can use your phone's 3G or 4G connection. If you don't, you can connect both the Glass and the phone to Wi-Fi. Without connectivity, you can still take photos and video, though.
