Create a Public Folder where anyone can share a file

Dropbox and SkyDrive allow you to have “Shared Folders” where a folder is shared between all members of the group. Any member can contribute files to the shared web folder and such a thing is ideal for collaborative efforts like for sharing photos with guests after an event. People can view photos uploaded by other users as well as upload their own to the shared folder.




A limitation with these “shared folders” is that the folder owner must invite a user before he or she can add files to the folder.
OneTimeBox, a web app that went live at the recently concluded MIT hackathon (coding contest),  takes a different approach to shared folders. The app creates a disposable, public web folder where anyone can add files as long as they know the unique URL of your shared folder.
There’s no registration required and neither do you have to invite anyone as a contributor. Just share the URL of your folder with friends and they’ll have full access – including delete permissions – to the files in that folder.

OneTimeBox is built using Meteor.js and the source code can be found on Github. Internally it uses the Filepicker API which uses the Amazon S3 service for storing files in the cloud. The app is neatly designed though you cannot add file to the shared folder from your mobile devices.

CHARGE YOUR PHONE IN 20 SECONDS

 


Tech manufacturers that boast how fast their devices can juice up might want to listen up: A California teen has developed a super-capacitor that could lead to a 20- to 30-second phone charge.


Super-capacitors are energy-storage devices that have a long cycle life, and have the potential to store a lot of energy per unit volume. Sounds dandy, right? Not quite. The devices have limited use because they store less energy than batteries. But Eesha Khare, 18, of Saratoga, Calif. has made quite an advancement with this technology.




"The super-capacitor I have developed uses a special nanostructure, which allows for a lot greater energy per unit volume," Khare said in a video interview at last week's 2013 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Phoenix. The world's largest science fair brought together 1,600 high-school finalists from all over the world, who competed for more than $4 million in awards.
"It can charge very quickly, and it can last for 10,000 cycles, compared to batteries which are only like 1,000 cycles," added Khare, a student at Lynbrook High School in San Jose, Calif.

FIFA 14 : GAME WITH EXCELLENT GRAPHICS

It’s almost guaranteed to be the biggest sports video game ever released .

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT'S NEW :

First touch, shooting, and dribbling have all been revamped, but although the end result definitely feels different it’s arguable whether it’s actively better.
The new Pure Shot feature works very well with the new ball physics and animation system though, so that timing, positioning, and anticipation all become of equal importance in terms of getting a shot on target. Perhaps as a reaction to the newly resurgent Pro Evolution Soccer FIFA 14 plays noticeably slower than FIFA 13, encouraging you take your time creating chances and setting up more considered crosses and headers.


 
 
 
This is especially evident of the new Protect the Ball feature, which is meant to allow you to fend off and block opponents while running. But although again it’s purposefully meant to slow down the tempo that doesn’t always match up with the rest of FIFA’s more fast-paced action.
On balance the changes come out just about even but it does feel like EA have tried to make a fundamental change to the way the game plays by only changing specific elements, rather than building everything new from the ground up.

 

 
They get away with it because the changes are all in the right direction, but the gameplay doesn’t feel quite as consistent as it has previously. And yet in its best moments it’s as good as the game has ever been, with the new animation system allowing for much finer control and a much greater variety of shots.

The changes to the artificial intelligence are also definitely for the better, and it’s now good enough so that playing against the computer is almost as much fun as a real human opponent. Your own team-mates are much better at understanding what you’re doing and opponents will take the ball off you at the first sign of weakness.

AUDI'S FIRST EBIKE

The Audi E-bike is based on custom carbon fiber wheels and a full-suspension carbon fiber frame; even the front suspension forks are custom designed for this bike. The rims look very similar in design to those on the $80K Blacktrail, leading to speculation by some in the E-bike community that this bike was partially designed by PG Bikes, the company behind the Blacktrail.  Certainly at least the Audi ebike designers had the obscenely priced  Blacktrail in mind when they designed their bike. The Audi E-bike also uses the same “Harmonic Drive System” as the Blacktrail, a highly regarded German design developed by Clean Mobile. Clean Mobile builds custom bottom-bracket drive systems for exclusive high end bikes made by innovative European companies such as KTM . Ironically Clean Mobile also went through an ownership change recently, first filing insolvency, and then being acquired by TQ-Systems GmbH and switching most of its staff .



The key element to the Audi drive system designed by Clean Mobile, that it keeps the motor weight in the center of the frame (unlike most hub powered bikes which have heavy weight awkwardly placed in rear wheel) and most importantly allows the power to be driven through the bicycles  gear system. This means that the motor is allowed to operate in its maximum efficiency zone, because as we know, electric motors like to spin quickly at a high rpm.

 Most expensive ebikes like this choose an In the Gear hub transmission like the German made 14 speed Rohloff. We are very surprised that  Audi opted to go with a standard derailleur system given the other flashes of bicycle technology in this bike such as the $800 Brake force one carbon fiber hydraulic brakes. We suspect that going with a derailleur instead of a Rohloff was a compromise Audi had to make to accommodate the carbon rims which have attached carbon spokes, and may have been a design blunder that will be corrected if and when the bike goes into production. Carbon rims with built in spokes make no sense on an ebike other than aesthetics, and add considerably to the cost.  To give you an idea the Blacktrail bike which uses an identical carbon wheel set, sells a replacement set of wheels and rims for a staggering $5000.

MY VIEWS  :
Its useful for those who want to use ebikes without compromising with speed .

 

 





PHONEBLOKS : Phone Worth Keeping

Do you want all features in a mobile then try PHONEBLOKS. 

   

THE NEED :

A phone only lasts a couple of years before it breaks or becomes obsolete. Although it's often just one part that killed it, we throw everything away because it's almost impossible to repair or upgrade.

DESIGNED TO LAST : 

Phoneblok is made of detachable bloks. The bloks are connected to the base which locks everything together into a solid phone. If a blok breaks you can easily replace it; if it's getting old just upgrade.

BLOKSTORE : 

It's like an app store for hardware. In the store you buy your bloks, read reviews and sell old bloks. Small and big companies develop and sell their bloks. You can buy a pre-assembled phone or assemble it yourself by selecting the brands you want to support. The choice is yours.

MY VIEWS ON THIS TECHNOLOGY :

It is a very useful phone to customize  our phone . So one can get features in the mobile one wants.
