Trend: the future of the system there will be no distinction between desktop and mobile 

Recent news of Google Chrome and Android will be combined. In fact, not only Google, Microsoft is already trying to combining mobile and desktop systems. Believe Apple will in the near future to promote OS x and iOS integration. The operating system of the future will not have desktop and mobile to differentiate.

Chrome OS + Android

Recently the Wall Street Journal cited people familiar with the news that Google Chrome OS in being integrated into the Android system, the new “Chrome OS + Android” operating system “will be officially released in 2017. Is the first developer preview of likely will be unveiled at the Google I/O Conference next year. The system will support Smartphones also supports Tablet and desktop computers, laptop computers. But Google does not cut off the Chrome browser, and original Chromebook will get a new name.

In fact, as early as six years ago, when Chrome first born Google co-founder Sergey Brin (Sergey Brin) has said that “with the passage of time” Android and Chrome OS desktop platform mobile systems will be merged. Google’s earnings call last week, Google’s current CEO sangdaer·pichayi (Sundar Pichai) analyst, said that “as a model, mobile computing will eventually blend in conjunction with what we know today’s desktop computing together. ”

In fact, just last month, Google released a Pixel c Tablet and notebook combined with the 2-in-1 test, a lot of people in the industry predicted that Chrome OS is likely be Google to give up. Because Pixel c as a Tablet and notebook combined with the cross-border products not to use Chrome OS, instead of using the Android system.

Why Google Chrome, as long as there are several reasons, although birth not later than Android Chrome, but Chrome is not as successful as Android, Chrome is not comparable with Android on the number of users. Chrome does all the rage two years ago, when the statistics from the NPD, agents sold to business users through the notebook, based on Google’s Chrome OS notebook computers accounted for 21% of the total share. By the year 2014, Chromebook United States education’s share of the market decreased to 39%,iPad market share as compared to 26%.

But Google failed to Chrome’s market share even further, according to statistics IDC PC equipped with Chrome systems worldwide, only 3%, which accounted for more than 80% and global market share is tiny compared to the Android system.

Chrome itself also has restricted the development of the system, Chrome’s concept is with advanced and ground-breaking, at first by many people in the industry look, but Chrome system itself relied heavily on the network, so some people think that Chrome is not like a desktop, it’s more like a modified version of the Chrome browser installed on your notebook.

In addition, Microsoft and Windows on the impact can also be seen as Google Chrome to give up one reason why Chrome, Chromebook sells laptop very attractive when compared to Windows systems, Chrome OS is almost zero licensing cost makes Chromebook price much lower than the notebook carrying Windows system basically Chromebook price only half that of Windows notebooks. That’s why Chromebook sold well. Reduce or subsidize some relief but with Microsoft Windows system versions of OEM manufacturers a license fee, Tablet and notebook carrying Windows systems start counter attack, Chromebook became known for price advantages are not. Another way, Chrome can do Windows basically can do it, but Windows can do Chrome may not be able to do.

These reasons, Chrome into Android is almost certain things, both of which are based on Linux open source code development, system and many other places are not the same, but Google’s research and development capabilities, Chrome OS + Android will not be too far away from us.

Windows 10 fusion success one step away

Microsoft is first to Yu will desktop and mobile platform merged of technology giant, early in Windows 8 just launched of when Microsoft on attempts to will magnetic posted application put to desktop of Windows system Shang, but is obviously originally is for mobile equipment specifically design of magnetic posted application apparently on serious rely on mouse and keyboard of desktop system acclimatized, to user brings has is poor of user experience, not only so Microsoft also will Windows system Shang logo sex of began menu function removed, More could add to user outcry, so Windows 8 miserably, was nailed on the failing label.

Not just desktop Windows, blending the mobile platform, Windows Phone, Windows starting from Windows Phone 8 line Phone user interface and Windows 8, and its kernel is the same as Windows 8. Microsoft also indicated that when the developers to port their applications from the desktop to the phone when Windows Phone 8 would allow them “to reuse most of the code”. He pointed out that for the purpose: Windows Phone 8 kernel, networking protocols, security, and support for multimedia will be identical to the Windows 8.

But even so Windows Phone 8 failed to succeed in the market. But even backers of Microsoft is not going to give up, Windows release of 10 marks the beginning of Microsoft’s second attempt at integrating mobile and desktop platforms. Differs from the stink of Windows 8, Windows 10 is considered to be Microsoft’s successful work. Windows of 10 not only optimized for touch-screen experience, also include a new feature, when you put Windows after 10 mobile phone connected to the keyboard, mouse and monitor, it can bring you the complete Windows experience. Meanwhile, developers only write code, developed a generic application, can desktop the desktop, Tablet PC, cell phone, Xbox and HoloLens and other equipment running on thousands of devices across different sizes and specifications, because Windows is 10 “all-platform unified” System.

Surface Book of the Tablet and notebook “ultimate laptop” by industry and consumer attention is proved that this time, Microsoft appears to be going in the right direction. iphone 6 Hello Kitty case

IOS with OS x is just a matter of time

IOS with OS x news rumors as early as 2011, Wall Street analyst Peter Misek had said “we believe that Apple has been working on plans to iOS and OS x into a single platform, may be achieved by 2012-2013, at which time all applications and cloud services will have a unified standard. “Of course his words failed to achieve. Shortly before Apple’s Tim Cook (Tim Cook) said in an interview, “we still cannot believe that an operating system can simultaneously sound driver PC and mobile. They need to do different things in different systems, we have no idea of their fusion “. Hello Kitty iphone

Not impossible but iOS with OS x, iPad Pro in many reflected that. IPad Pro not publish rumors before carrying the iPad Pro be OS X/iOS dual system, although the final iPad Pro is equipped with the iOS system 9. But reflected the iPad Pro “professional” is very interesting, Apple iPad Pro release to include Microsoft, Adobe, and many software executives shows they designed specifically for the iPad Pro development “productivity” tools, but Apple has also been prepared for the iPad Pro stylus and keyboard parts. This is OS x and Mac what the iPad has put a foot.

Apple iOS developers multiple times before deployment to the OS x team to advance development, makes the content both on the screen display and a variety of scenarios on the experience of more and more. Many into touch in iOS interaction into OS x, such as the flat design language, and introduction of Launchpad, conversational “message, notice, iMessage message, iCloud, AirDrop and integrated social networking, and Handoff and Continuity of continuous interoperability as an Assistant and so on, basically OS x after flattening with the iOS integration a step further. OS x integrated into more and more elements of iOS, even the rumored iOS in the post-PC era will most likely replace OS x.

Now available in wide variety of mobile power, when we are at the selection of mobile power, apart from its outside appearance and portability, often by moving the power parameter. So, mobile power supply note what are the main performance parameters? This small machine made a generalization:

Capacity (mAh): electric power are mAh rechargeable battery (mAh) is the product of current and time when current milliamperes (mA), time in hours (h), when they are multiplied by two is Ma (mAh). Its full discharge discharge currents expressed in time, for example, a 1000 mAh battery discharge 1 hour 1000 Ma of current.

Mobile power capacity is not too precise distinction, mobile power capacity of about 1000mAh-12000mAh in General, taking into account the mainstream Smartphone battery life generally around 2000mAh (such as millet M2 battery mAh capacity, Samsung i9300 2100mAh battery capacity), so we will be divided into 2000mAh mobile power capacity (one-time charge, consider portability), 2000-5000mAh (for charging the mobile phone 1-2), 5000mAh-10000mAh (for charging the phone repeatedly charged, or Tablet) as well as 10000mAh (to charge multiple devices) four levels, and in the subsequent evaluation of the four grades of different models of mobile power measure.

We would also like to point out that, for mobile power, not larger is better, after all, the capacity can be measured using the time parameter. At the time of purchase, according to your usage habits and needs to choose, avoid blind pursuit of “large capacity”.

Also of note is that the mobile power supply capacity generally refers to the manufacturers in product capacity values are marked on the packaging, the capacity value is usually refers specifically to the mobile power internal battery capacity value, not many consumers think of actual use values.

Output voltage (v): faux computer USB port and cell phone charger, 5V;

Output current (mA): the more common standard 500mA 1000mA output current (1A) and 2100mA (2.1A) and so on. Former General used to charge mobile phones, which are common in larger capacity to move power supply to charge the tablet. And capacity, the output current is selected to move the power to consider an important indicator. This is because, under the same voltage, and is more similar to current by charging nominal parameters of the equipment allows the charging process more efficient. On the effects of different output current for charging efficiency, love machine will come later in the trial to verify.

Input voltage (v): faux computer USB port and cell phone charger, 5V;

Input current (mA): similar to the mobile power supply output current directly affect the efficiency of digital products, mobile power supply input current will also directly affect the mobile power charging efficiency. For example, a 12000mAh mobile power, if the rated input current is 500mA, which means that the time needed for full power up to more than 20 hours; but if the rated input current is 2.1A, about 7 hours, that is, a night’s sleep time can be filled.

A brand 12000mAh big capacity power supply rated input current of 2.1A

Conversion rate (%): informally, mobile power conversion rate is mobile power conversion efficiency of internal batteries when charging and discharging. For example, in theory a 5000mAh mobile power, if a cross-flow of 5V/1A power supply, 5 hours to full, but in reality it is not. This is because whether it’s a mobile power supply internal telecommunications and protection boards, power supplies, interface, in the process of charge and discharge will have a certain degree of loss, including:

• Circuit switching loss l itself loss l pressure loss, and so on.

Pressure loss is causing us to feel “why mobile power capacity is not as big as we thought,” reasons. The lithium batteries used in portable power voltage is generally about 3.7V-4.2V, and mobile digital products, such as standard input voltage of 5 v, your mobile power needs through internal circuit, the output voltage of 5V for charging the mobile phone, which will also have a loss.

In short, the so-called “capacity” on behalf of the mobile power supply nominal voltage output and specified under the current discharge capability, but does not truly represent the real power of mobile power. Battery energy to washi (Wh) units of capacity (mAh) with rated voltage (v) of the product, such as a mobile power 5000mAh, where the capacity of lithium battery capacity, rated voltage is 3.7V, so its energy should be 5000mAh*3.7V/1000=18.5Wh, but if the boost to the 5V output, the effective output power is 18.5Wh/5V*1000=3700mAh, This is what we found in the files may be in use, a nominal 5000mAh mobile power, but may not be able to give a 1440mAh iPhone 5 with 3 reasons.

Cell conversion efficiency directly determines the quality of mobile power. In General, imported batteries discharge conversion rate is 85%, made a product is 75%-85%.

Just above can help users choose to move some major performance parameters of the power supply, but mobile power markets varies greatly, false, parameters, and other phenomena come out marked capacity, not only to the parameters at time of purchase, also to pay attention to reference someone else’s experience.

Overview

Dotlens installed on the mobile phone camera and then it can be put to use cell phones as microscopes, you can use your mobile phone to watch anything, taken with a cellphone camera Super macro photos.

Function and characteristics

Dotlens microscope is made up of researchers use a device function is similar to inkjet printers made by hand.

15 times the magnifying effect allows you to clearly see the texture of the leaves, found some spiders almost transparent body. Although this ratio is not enough compared with the professional microscope, but a $ 5 fare value. Researchers are developing 120 times the rate of mobile phone microscope. And for the huge microscopes, Dotlens volume is simply not worth mentioning.

Researchers said: “we created this lens does not need any support mechanisms to the Smartphone’s camera into a microscope, lenses made of poly Dimethyl polysiloxane (PDMS) between the glass and the strong but non-permanent adsorption separation of lens after use is very easy. “It means Dotlens microscope does not need glue can be easily fitted with mobile phone cameras can easily take it off after use.

Application for this lens, the first thought is–for the younger students to the field of education, this microscope is cheap and convenient, and is suitable for use in field investigations and laboratory research. Because this lens can be attached on the Smartphone, share pictures via email or text message is very simple. In addition, due to the lens costs are very low, so even if lost or damaged, it will not have any effect.

Germany developed Sonic technology called downtown can hear

　　Such as airports, railway stations, which broadcast information is notoriously difficult, because the environment is too noisy and you can’t guarantee that people will hear. Germany Alex Braun Hough Institute of digital media technology through ADAPT DRC will change all that.

　　ADAPT simple for DRC, is a microphone listens ambient noise, and then to change the broadcast software that uses sound waves to suppress noise. Guerlain iPhone 5 Case

　　You may think it’s specific approach is to turn up the volume, but it’s not. ADAPT DRC will selectively control frequency, so that the broadcasts will not be overshadowed by the noise. For example it could be enhanced “t” and “p”, because these are short high tone, easily overwhelmed by the noise.

　　In addition, ADAPT DRC will use a technique called dynamic range compression, which can enhance passage volume of smaller parts, decrease the volume larger portions.

　　At present, there are technologies based on noise level to change the volume of technical, but the effect is not good, and excessive volume can cause sound distortion. ADAPT DRC mature, it can even be used in smartphones, so that you call in the city can hear.
