Google set to to launch smart laptop running new Andromeda OS

The company's new laptop, nicknamed "Pixel 3" is highly believed to be the first-ever device to run an Android-Chrome combination OS, called Andromeda.

With the ‘Made by Google’ event to be held on October 4, Google seems to have new hardware plans for next year. The company plans to release a new laptop, known by an informal nickname “Pixel 3”, which will be the first ever device to run on the software giant’s new Android-Chrome OS, called Andromeda.

Google-watcher blog Android Police reports that the device, internally known as “Bison” will be an ultra-thin laptop with a 12.3" display, but Google also wants it to support a "tablet" mode. The blog also states that Google's planned pricing is still competitive: Bison is pegged to start at $799. Powering it will be either an Intel m3 or i5 Core processor with 32 or 128GB of storage and 8 or 16GB of RAM. This seems to suggest there will be two models, says Android Police.
It will also feature a fingerprint scanner, two USB-C ports, a 3.5mm jack, a host of sensors, stylus support (a Wacom pen will be sold separately), stereo speakers, quad microphones, and a battery that will last around 10 hours. The keyboard will be backlit, and the glass trackpad will use haptic and force detection similar to the MacBook.
The company plans to announce its Pixel smartphones on October 4, and the ‘Made by Google’ event could be the first time we get to see Andromeda and how it functions.

ISRO ready for a critical crew rescuing test

The Crew Module Atmospheric Re-entry Experiment which was test-flown by the ISRO two years ago.—PHOTO: THULASI KAKKAT It will test how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from a spacecraft The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up to conduct a critical ‘crew bailout test’ to see how fast and effectively the crew module of an intended space mission could punch out from the spacecraft safely in the event of an emergency. The test, known as Pad Abort, will be held at the launch pad of Sriharikota High Altitude Range (SHAR) in a month or two, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) Director K. Sivan told The Hindu in an interaction on the sidelines of the ongoing expo in connection with the World Space Week celebrations at Ernakulathappan ground here. The test forms part of a gamut of critical technologies being developed by the space agency as it awaits the nod from the government for the ambitious ‘human in sp...

Referees add more extra time when the big teams are losing

the facts which shows how football referees add more time when big teams are losing soccer (football) fans suspected it, however now facts is confirming it. After analysing all the suits of the Spanish league "la Liga" from the 2014-2015 season,  specialists in sports technology have observed that the extra the difference on the scoreboard, the less stoppage time is delivered to the stop of the game. when the rating is tighter, however, referees have a tendency to feature extra stoppage time when the crew within the better department is losing. The stoppage time brought by way of the referee following the compulsory ninety mins of a football suit is used to compensate for time misplaced because of substitutions, accidents, expulsions and other incidents that stand up at some stage in the sport, but it seems as although different elements additionally play a position in step with a brand new look at. Researchers Carlos Lago, from the university of Vigo (Spain), and Maite Gó...

MIT scientists makes use of terahertz waves to read closed books

 some Scientists, have invented a new technology that can read the pages of a closed book, an advance that may help archaeologists look into antique books without touching them. Researchers, including Ramesh Raskar from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S, tested a prototype of the system on a stack of papers, each with one letter printed on it. The system was able to correctly identify the letters on the top nine sheets. “The Metropolitan Museum in New York showed a lot of interest in this, because they want to, for example, look into some antique books that they don’t even want to touch,” said Barmak Heshmat, a research scientist at MIT. He said that the system could be used to analyse any materials organised in thin layers, such as coatings on machine parts or pharmaceuticals. Researchers from MIT and Georgia Institute of Technology developed the algorithms that acquire images from individual sheets in stacks of paper, and interprets the o...
