 Last night, while I was scribbling some notes at Starbucks, a guy sauntered in, wearing a two or three day old beard, slid his backpack from his shoulder onto the long table normally reserved for physically challenged folks. Then, slowly, painfully, his started unloading the contents of his bag, ostensibly setting up shop. First a music player came out, along with huge earphones , the type you see pilots of 777's using in the cockpit. Instantly, he turned this device on, and out poured some bizarre music that conflicted with the satellite radio station the coffee house had on. Next, a laptop was disgorged, activated, and his Yahoo home page sprang to life . Not nearly finished, the cell phone came out along with at least two or three other gadgets, each being introduced to the table with ceremonial seriousness . I got up and distanced myself from this endless parade of gizmos by seizing a table ten feet away. There's a classical album called, "Frank Sinatra: A Man &a

 One can easily say that these are the inventions of the century. It has done what one could not imagine. It has open the doors of the world to the world. What are you thinking now? Whatever you do, just put that in a search engine , you will be amazed to see the data on that, its amazing. Information on fingertips, one just has to type that. At this day and age, the current of terms of literacy says that a person who doesn't know about computers is not literate. It simply shows as to how deeply this is involved in every walk of life, just name it. There is a tendency of humans to accept change with time or not accept it at all. Change does cause stress. See the bright aspect. These inventions have changed the face of the world . Businesses are stretched from one corner of the world to another. Who says that you have to hire someone in your local area to get your work done, you can get a person have your work done on the portals that serve as a bridge between the company and th

Far-sighted managers look into the advantages AI has for the future and adapt themselves accordingly. AI will help advance careers and produce faster business results, enabling good managers to become great at what they do. Given the enormous advantages AI has over human beings , it is often sought to perform tasks earlier done by a human with great precision and excellent results, irrespective of the size and type of the data. What makes Artificial Intelligence Appealing? AI can compress numbers, detect patterns, and make fast decisions driven by data with a precision that a human may not do. Given the ability to process large data sets and provide directions of trends and advice that can be acted upon, AI can be a vital tool for any manager dealing with quantitative data to make decisions. The efficiency of c omputers is so good that it is estimated to replace 40% of the human fund managers in the financial industry with robo-advisers. Any good manager should try to upgrade hi

 When it comes to the newest gadget in the market there is no denial that drones , or unmanned aerial vehicles, top the list. They first attracted the attention of people at large when the US army used it for targeted operations to tackle terrorism. Drones proved very useful in searching terrorist camps and destroying them. The main advantage of using drones in the battlefield is that they do not carry a pilot. They are totally unmanned and thus there is no loss of life during the battle if the drone gets shot down by the enemy. However, it is not only the military that uses drones for their benefit nowadays. Even the common man is benefitting from the use of drones as they are being used in many other fields, such as housing, agriculture and photography. Housing: The housing industry relies on the inspection of house before it can be bought or sold. This inspection can be carried out by the drone without having anyone to risk their life for the inspection. Agriculture: Today, the bi

 Have you ever wondered just how the touch screen on your cell phone, tablet, LED television, or any other device actually works? It is amazing to think that we can now issue commands to our devices with the touch of our hand and while this technology might seem new, it has actually been around since the 1960's. In fact, the technology behind the touch screen can actually traced right back to the 1940's but it was only two decades later that it actually became feasible to use on a large scale. ATMs have been using technology since 1965 which is when E.A. Johnson invented the first finger-driven touch screen that actually used the same capacitive touch mechanism that is still used in cell phones and other devices to this day. Although there are other types of touch screen technology such as resistive touch or multi touch technology, capacitive touch technology is the one that is preferred for mass produced consumer products. How is a Capacitive Touch Screen Made? Today, a c

 The new era of computers has changed the way people communicate versus decades ago. The digital age has shifted from a traditional industry to an economy that is based on computerized information. The World Wide Web has existed since 1969, and is now globalized, accelerating the flow of information and pushing older forms of media into obsolescence . A computer is an electronic device used for storing and processing data. Almost, everything that is an electronic is made or run by computers. These devices have become a popular way to permanently accumulate collaborative information. Businesses have become dependent on this type of digital machine to store their files, complete daily task, and keep track of payroll. Practically, every home is equipped with some type of computerized mechanism . People are now using these types of electronic devices to share or exchange information, versus the traditional way when people had face to face conversations . The new era of computers has cau

 There are a couple of reasons on which cost of PCI DSS Compliant depends, which includes the type of your business, annual number of transactions, current IT infrastructure , and the existing credit/debit card network of processing and storing data. Possible PCI Compliance Fees According to estimations, the largest merchants of nation, categorized as Level 1 merchants (having more than 6 million transactions a year), spent $125,000 assessing the possible required PCI related work and an addition of $568,000 to meet the PCI requirements. Reports state that level one 1 merchant , a national retailer having 210 stores, spent about $500,000 to become compliant. Furthermore, Level 2 merchants carrying out annual transactions in between 1 and 6 million may require spending $105,000 for assessment and an addition of $267,000 for compliance. Level 3 merchants carrying out e commerce transactions between 20,000 to1, 000,000 are supposed to spend $44, 000 for assessing and $81, 000 more for

This article will make us well-versed with technological aspects of Virtual Reality and its applications especially in the field of scientific databases and clinical trials. Virtual Reality , VR in short is a computer-generated, multidimensional sensory, artificial environment that users experience via interference tools that enable them to immerse themselves in the new environment, navigate within it and interact with objects and characters inhabiting the environment. This gives the user the impression of being in that world. VR is a way for humans to visualize, manipulate and interact with computers and extremely complex data like scientific databases. This article acquaints the readers that VR provides a uniquely different interface to access scientific database, which is a SANDBOX: Scientists Accessing Necessary Data Based on eXperimentation . This virtual reality tool allows the investigator to collect data from the scientific databases without ever typing in a query. The article

  Google is a type of search engine that gives the facility of browsing from various devices such as the laptop, mobile etc. Recently, Google developed material design so that it can unify the experienced users to use various Google platforms. The aim of this unification is to improve the overall technological experience of a user by making the interaction easier, simpler and more intuitive. Most people believe that the recent material design plan of Google surpassed iOS design. In the present writing, I will share my thoughts about this issue . iOS design and Google's material design: iOS is a mobile operating system manufactured by Apple Inc. It develops an adaptive layout so that your design can work from multiple devices. Two years ago, it has changed its design manual and has made it simple and user-friendly. It allows its designers to focus on animations and function rather than intricate visual details. Here UI or your user interface should be stripped down to the core a

 When we think of VPNs, often our first thought is that of encryption of the user data. But adversaries or those intent on reading the data could However an attacker could record a conversation and then replay the replies between to participants. What we need to do is to be able to ensure the source of the data is genuine, and that is where digital signatures and certificates comes in. To construct a Digital Signature , public key encryption systems must be in place. The construction of the Digital Signature entails applying a hash function to the message by concatenation of the message with a known secret key and then applying a mathematical function which will produce a fixed length output known as the digest. The digest is then encrypted with the public decryption key which produces a signature that can be appended to the message to verify that the message is from the genuine source. The receiver recalculates the hash function and compared with the signature after applying
