IS THE NOKE PADLOCK SECURE?
Noke’s creators claim their smart lock is secure.
It can only be unlocked when a user’s smartphone is hovered within feet of the device.
A user can turn off the auto-unlock feature so it will not be accidentally unlocked if they are nearby.
It uses Bluetooth 4.0, which contains the highest level of security, according to the firm.
Bluetooth 4.0 uses a 128-bit AES CCM encryption algorithm and the designers have added their own PKI technology and cryptographic key exchange protocol to prevent the device being hacked.
The main threats come in the way of ‘traditional theft’ as a thief could steal a smartphone and use it to unlock a bike, for example.
The lock is also designed to be shared, meaning people must choose their friends wisely or risk their valuables being stolen, despite the smart padlock.

*.Designers created the ‘Noke’ to eliminate the old-fashioned key and lock
*.The padlock, which weighs just over 225g and is made from hardened steel
*.It works with Bluetooth so a user nearby presses the shackle to open it
*.They don’t even have to remove their smartphone from their pocket
*. Lock is available to pre-order for $59 (£37) with a shipping date in February.
It’s a pain locking a bike when popping into a shop for a few minutes – especially when you know you’ll be fumbling for your keys minutes later.
But the key is set to become a thing of the past now that designers have created a Bluetooth padlock that can be unlocked simply by hovering a smartphone nearby.
According to dailymail, The padlock, which resembles a traditional one, is the first to allow users to open a lock without keys using an iOS or Android app.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/noke-app-techcribng.jpg
No more keys! The Noke padlock by Fuz (pictured) claims to be the first to allow users to open a lock without keys, instead using an iOS or Android app (also pictured). The device allows people to share a bike, for example, protected by the lock
To work the ‘Noke’ lock, a user must press the shackle when they and their phone are nearby.
‘Nokewakes up and searches for your phone or a shared phone. If the phone is within a few feet,Nokewill instantly unlock so you can be on your way. No need to launch an app or remove your phone from your pocket or purse,’ the company wrote on Kickstarter.
It uses signals sent via Bluetooth to a smartphone to identify the owner of the lock and in this way will also allow people to share their lock so two people could access one bike, for example, either temporarily or permanently.

https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/woman-locking-her-bicycle-techcribng.jpg
No more fumbling for keys: ‘Noke wakes up and searches for your phone or a shared phone. If the phone is within a few feet, (illustrated) Noke will instantly unlock so you can be on your way. No need to launch an app or remove your phone from your pocket or purse,’ the company said
Utah-based design company Fuz Designs created the smart padlock to solve the problems associated with traditional padlocks and keys, which are easy to lose, can be stolen and are hard to share.
The device weighs just over eight ounces (227 grams) and is designed to be used with a cable for bikes, as well as securing sheds.
It is made from hardened steel and boron and has a long-life battery that promises to last for a year with continuous use.
If a user’s phone, or the lock’s battery dies, they will be able to use ‘quick click’ technology to access the lock, allowing them to key in a sequence of pre-determined clicks manually using the shackle.
Co-founder of the company, Cameron Gibbs, 35, said: ‘Noke is roughly the same size as a traditional padlock.
HOW IT WORKS
The Noke padlock connects via Bluetooth with an iOS or Android app to automatically identify the owner of the lock.
To unlock Noke, users simply have to press the shackle.
It wakes up and searches for a phone and if it senses the handset is within a few feet, it instantly unlocks so users don’t even have to take their phone out of their pocket.
The app allows instant and secure sharing so users can choose to let another person temporarily or permanently access their bike – or whatever the padlock is protecting.
It can also be opened if a user learns a sequence of clicks – so it works a little like a combination lock without numbers.

Secure: The device weighs just over eight ounces (225grams) and can be used with a cable for bikes, as well as securing sheds (illustrated)
https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/09/08/1410181243374_wps_8_A_design_company_has_made.jpg
Smart: The lock will send signals via Bluetooth to a smartphone to identify the owner of the lock and in this way also allows people to share their lock so two people can access one bike, for example (pictured)
‘It is 3.3 inches (9cm) tall and 2.2 inches (6cm) wide and weighs about eight ounces.
‘There is no interference with other Bluetooth devices. Noke doesn’t unlock until you wake it up. It won’t ever unlock on its own.’
The firm is currently raising funding on Kickstarter and has smashed its $100,000 (£62,000) target, pulling in over $500,000 (£310,106).
The lock is available to pre-order for $59 (£37) with a shipping date in February, but will retail for around $89 (£55).

International researchers are reporting that they have built the first human-to-humanbrain-to-braininterface, allowing two humans separated by the internet to consciously communicate with each other, with no additional sensory cues. One researcher, attached to a brain-computer interface (BCI) in India, successfully sent words into the brain of another researcher in France, who was wearing a computer-to-brain interface (CBI). In short, the researchers have created a device that enables telepathy. In the future, rather than vocalizing speech or vainly attempting to vocalize your emotions your friend/lover/family member might just pluck those words and thoughts right out of your head.
USB-connected BCIs, like the one here by Emotiv, have been around for years.
Over the last few years, researchers have started to get quite good at reading your brain activity your thoughts. Commercial brain-computer interfaces that you can plug into your computer’s USB porthave been around for a good four or five years now, and in the last couple of years we’ve seen advanced BC Is that can be implanted directly into your brain. To create a brain-to-brain connection (i.e. telepathy) you also need the other side of the equation, however: You need to be able to take some data and input it into someone else’s brain and that, as you can imagine, is proving to be a bit harder.
Now, however, a team of international researchers have cracked it. On the BCI side of things, the researchers used a fairly standard EEG (electroencephalogram) from Neuroelectrics. For the CBI, which requires a more involved setup, a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) rig was used. TMS is somewhat similar to TDCS, in that it can stimulate regions of neurons in your brain but instead of electrical current, it uses magnetism. The important thing is that TMS is non-invasive it can stimulate your brain (and thus cause you to think or feel a certain way) without having to actually cut into your brain and use some electrodes.
https://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/journal.pone_.0105225.g001-640x408.png
This is how the brain-to-brain system works. The BCI reads the sender’s thoughts in this case, the sender thinks about moving his or her hands or feet. Thinking about feet is equivalent to binary 0, while hands is binary 1. With a little time/effort, whole words can be encoded as a stream of ones and zeroes. These encoded words are then transmitted (via the internet or some other network) to the recipient, who is wearing a TMS. The TMS is focused on on the recipient’s visual cortex. When the TMS receives a “1″ from the sender, it stimulates a region in the visual cortex that produces a phosphene the phenomenon whereby you see flashes of light, without light actually hitting your retina (when you rub your eyes, for example). The recipient “sees” these phosphenes at the bottom of their visual field. By decoding the flashes phosphene flash = 1, no phosphene = 0 the recipient can “read” the word being sent.
You would be right in thinking that this is a rather complex and long-winded way of sending messages from one brain to another but for now, this is truly the state of the art. As you can see, this method very neatly sidesteps the fact that we really don’t know how the human brain encodes information and so, for now, instead of importing a “native” message, we have to use our own encoding scheme (binary) and a quirk of the visual cortex. [Research paper: doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0105 225- "Conscious Brain-to-Brain Communication in Humans Using Non-Invasive Technologies"]
The actual brain-to-brain setup. Sender/EEG on the left, receiver/TMS on the right. Still, even if it does seem a little bit like hard work, there’s no denying that this is a conscious, non-invasive brain-to-brain connection. While the recipient isn’t going anywhere fast (the TMS is bulky), it’s not hard to imagine a small, lightweight EEG that allows the sender to constantly stream thoughts back to the receiver. I’m sure we’re not more than a few years away from a setup that allows the receiver to walk around, too at which point, assuming we make some progress in decoding the brain’s activity, you basically have a persistent brain-to-brain link that would allow you to always know what your friends/family/loved ones are thinking. You might use such a telepathy system for sending simple thoughts from a distance, I love you or maybe it could be useful for truly getting inside someone’s head when they’re struggling to voice their emotions.
The future is going to be a fun and/or scary and/or amazing place to live in, friends.

computerboy: The list is unnecessarily long OP. If you wanna get a new android phone, first make sure it's OS is really android. Check the battery (2500mAH and above is cool). Then check the ram (should be 1gb minimum) and CPU (dual core and above is preferable). Then check for other things that you like (camera, memory, screen size etc). As for the software, everything is possible.

Obviously like they say, necessity is the mother of all invention. The environment in Israel forces them to develop and implement quickly. That leaves people with positive reinforcement and an incentive to invent more. People tend to gravitate towards things they see success in.

Three weeks ago i published an article written by "Nigeria tribune titled "Nigerians are giving up on Android, want their BlackBerry back", which leads to disagreement between blackberry and android users on some website like nairaland and naijaloaded...
Just this morning , Asaolu Babafemi , an editor of thenation newspaper explain some things to look out when buying a anew android phone.

What to look out for when buying Android phones
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/andriod-app-techcribng.jpeg

No doubt android phones have whelmed the mobile phone market in the country thus, making it the most used mobile internet gadget.
This is a testament to the growing number of people who use the Android phones daily.
But many a time most people don’t actually know the features of these phones and what to look out for. It is either they get the wrong choice or get something that is different from what they set out to buy.
Phone sellers have also taken advantage of this to swindle most people, thereby charging more for far cheaper and less quality phones.
In a chat with a civil servant in Lagos state Mrs. Abosede, “ I went to GSM village to buy a new phone that will be compatible with Whatsapp and that can ping, and on purchase I told the attendant I want a phone with android functions only for me to get home and was mocked by my children, saying the phone can only call and send text messages and was told such phones are called .

A mobile phone dealer said, “These people are not just selling sub- standard phones, some buyers are selfish in their spending, they want a big phone for a relative cheap price and they get what they paid for”.
He however agreed that some dealers still receive the appropriate price and sell out sub-standards phones to their customers but stressed that, it is because they did not buy it at the right place.
Features to look out for:

A lot of questions have been asked on Why Israeli Startups is Leading The Tech World?...
Lois Parshley, an author of Popular Science (PopSci) American monthly magazine explain some reasons why it is so.
People lined both sides of Boylston Street, rounds of cheers going up as runners approached the end of the 2013 Boston marathon. Then white smoke plumed. Windows splintered. Fifteen seconds later, another explosion, and glass shattered onto blackened cement. The detonations knocked athletes to the ground, in some cases blowing the shoes off their feet. Three people died, and another 264 were injured.

The FBI started investigating while first responders were still rushing to the scene. Within three days -- just 101 hours -- the bombers were apprehended.

FBI agents sifted through 13,000 videos and more than 120,000 photographs, drawn from surveillance cameras and onlookers' cell phones. To sort through the piles of footage, law enforcement turned to new technology that can condense an hour of video into just a minute of playback time.

The method, called video synopsis, was invented by an Israeli company called BriefCam, which counts all the right three-letter agencies as clients. (The FBI declined to comment on the specifics of the Boston investigation.)

Video synopsis works in a variety of ways, but most programs layer actions that occur at the same place at different times, making it possible, for example, to see simultaneously every person who walks in a door on a given afternoon. Other notable inquiries have also used BriefCam, like Norway's national security service after Anders Breivik bombed a children's camp there in 2011.

Shmuel Peleg, a co-founder of BriefCam and a professor of computer science at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, says the original intention for the tool was a long way from law enforcement. "One of my students had three kids," he said, and was hoping to come up with a better way of viewing their home videos. The eureka moment came when "one of our friends said most video on earth comes from stationary cameras," Peleg said. "He was in the military at the time," Peleg explained, and immediately thought of surveillance footage. Security cameras at Israel's borders watch for tunnel activity, but it can be hard to identify suspicious behavior in real time. "BriefCam makes it possible to integrate information that happens in a large temporal space," Peleg says, making it perfect for consistent monitoring.

Israel's environment provides a primal urgency that headquarters in Silicon Valley strewn with kegs and Ping-Pong tables can lack.

But that a civilian idea was immediately put to military use is not surprising. BriefCam's origin story reveals a common trend in Israel. "The general awareness people here have for risk is always present," Peleg says, and this mentality has made its mark on the country's business climate, influencing technological developments. "Maybe Israelis learn less things [in school] but they know how to come up with ideas, how to manage to survive," Peleg said. "Every one of us is concerned with security." Military life has left an indelible mark on Israel's booming start-up scene, leading the country to the frontlines of the tech ecosystem in odd ways.

This sway manifests most obviously in the security world. After spending six years in an elite tech unit in the Israel Defense Forces, Giora Engel, another Hebrew University alumnus, co-founded a start-up called LightCyber. LightCyber detects computer glitches in corporate environments, focusing on a new wave of electronic threats, which have moved past malware to specifically targeting companies ("like the Target data breach this last November," Engel says.) While in the Defense Forces (IDF), Engel, who has bright red hair and freckles, managed high-risk projects, including coding mission-critical systems. He says Israel is leading the world in cyber-security because people leaving the Army bring "expertise that was previously only found in the defense industry." He continued, "The nation-state cyber-breaks we were accustomed to in the military have now proliferated into the [tech] industry."

Peleg echoed Engel, saying that because of Israel's mandatory army participation, "my students are often called away from their research for reserve service." He said, "You can't think creatively while in service. You only care about survival." But upon his students' return, "new ideas come," enriching research programs.

https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/shmuel-peleg-techcribng.jpgShmuel Peleg

In addition to fresh thinking, working in an environment where there are often immediate applications of new developments has driven quick innovation. Mantis Vision, a company that uses 3D imaging for a variety of mapping applications, had the Israeli government as an early client for a confidential project. "What I can tell you is this wasn't a product developed for a lab, but a real product that was used," said co-founder Amihai Loven.

Israel is an environment where "there's zero tolerance for work-arounds," Loven said. Part of what's pushing the country's tech boom, he said, is that "there's a lot of pressure to develop something something that actually works, and not just in lab environments." This provides a primal urgency that headquarters in Silicon Valley strewn with kegs and Ping-Pong tables can lack.

"Look at the recent conflict," Loven said, referring to July's deadly flare-up between Hamas and Israel. "The Iron Dome performance is like nothing you can develop in an R& environment without a threat." The anti-missile system is designed to blow up incoming missiles before they land, and has been deployed frequently in the last month. Despite concerns the Iron Dome is actually less effective than the IDF claims, and setting aside much debate about the imbalance of force between the two sides of the conflict, the Iron Dome is far more sophisticated than alternative anti-rocket systems.

In the long run, the perceived pressure to make things that actually work can be a good thing for the market. "Products need to start high-end from the beginning in order to mature into consumer products," Loven said, citing GPS's beginnings as a defense tool. "If it's just starting as a gadget, there's a glass ceiling" on its utility, he explained.

So perhaps it makes sense there's an unusual amount of governmental support for new ideas. Giora Engel of LightCyber says government organizations are often slow adopters, taking their time in using new technology. But Israel was one of the first countries to develop a cyber-security division, all the way back in 1997. Since then, the country's quietly dominated all sorts of cyber projects -- not least Stuxnet, the notorious computer worm designed in a joint project between U.S. and Israeli forces that took out a fifth of Iran's nuclear centrifuges in 2010.

More recently, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upped the ante, in 2011 creating the National Cyber Bureau (NCB), which reports directly to Netanyahu's office and increased the country's cyber-defense budgets by 30 percent. He made no bones about its purpose, saying, "We established the National Cyber Bureau for the purpose of transforming the state of Israel into a cyber superpower." NCB trickle-down extends to the startup world: "There's a lot of support for new technology from the government," Engel said, "because they realize that startups can bring them the most cutting edge technology and are valuable to the economy." Statistics suggest the strategy is working: 14.5 percent of all firms worldwide garnering cyber investment are owned by Israelis.

Of course, there are disadvantages of running a business in a region plagued by violence and dominated by the military. Engel said that in July, while business has continued, more or less as usual, in the startup scene, "Some people have been called to their reserve duty in their military units. And it's hard to have conference calls when any moment you may have to run to a bomb shelter."

"In this crazy country, you're always under pressure," Loven said. "If it's not defense, it's to win in the market."

Lastweek i wrote about how to take picture by whistling on your android phone, which sound funny to everyone.. As you all know that the Rapid Improvement in technology had lead to new creative thought and in mobile app and gadget.
Android , a user interface based on direct manipulation, designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers..
Today tutorial also sound funny , but i know you guyz will find it useful.
Unlock Your Android Phone Just By Picking It Up
For you to achieve this , you need to activate an application called WAKEUP.
There are lots of ways to unlock your phone, but they are difficult to use. WakeUp unlocks your handset when you pick it up and hold it at the right angle.
For you to achieve this , you just need to do three things:
First : Download the free app from Google Play, fire it up , tap on the Enable Device Administrator button and on the Enable Device Administrator button and on the next screen, tap on Activate

https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/wakeup-2-techcribng.jpg
Second, go to widgets and place the WakeUp 1×1 widget on any of the homescreens

*.Note: since you’ve allow the app to be monitored automatically , the app will run in the background and sit in the notification drawer doing its thing.
*.But it will only do so for 30 minutes. If you want to increase (or decrease) its time limit, then you need to upgrade to the Pro app ($3). But if you don’t do this, it might be a kind of blessing in cheapness.
*.Because the application uses a little battery while monitoring; you can then set how long it will be monitoring the movement of the device: the convenience comes at a cost. So i will advice you to keep the 30 minute limit on. Once that limit passes, you’ll need to use unlock by using the power key and then you are good for another 30 mins.

timilehing: New phones with new os are released every now and then. iPhone 5 becomes obsolete immediately iPhone 6 is released. Its a waste of resources using iPhone by a average Nigerian

As you know that iPhone is a line of smartphones designed and marketed by Apple Inc. It runs Apple's iOS mobile operating system. The first generation iPhone was released on June 29, 2007; the most recent iPhones, the seventh-generation iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S, were introduced on September 10, 2013 and people are already waiting for the new iphone 6.

Remember when 3G was such a big deal that Apple named its new iPhone after what was then the new standard in mobile data transmission? The iPhone 3G, introduced in 2008, was the second iteration of the pioneering smartphone, and in a way the name was as much gloating as it was tribute. When cellular data mostly meant sending crude videos and maybe a song over the network, the old standard was good enough. But the radical new potential for connected mobile computing unleashed by the iPhone meant users would go with whichever carrier could move the most data the fastest. Apple forced the telecoms to up their games, and the competition has yet to cease.

Meanwhile, another kind of network has stagnated. Despite the proliferation of mobile payments companies, from startups like Square to a mobile-revamped PayPal, credit cards remain the standard for paying in-person and online. The money may move digitally, at least after the analog swipe of the card, but it’s still along the same old networks, a kind of parallel internet built to handle credit cards long before the web, much less the iPhone, existed.
For all anyone with an iPhone is concerned, the way to pay will be Apple.

But if, as predicted, the next-generation iPhone includes a chip that makes the device scannable at checkout counters, Apple could catalyze a transformation in how money moves that is at least as substantial as the improvements in how data moves that Cupertino forced upon the telecom industry. At first, an iPhone wallet likely would act as a surrogate for credit cards, a way to store the data of multiple cards but using the phone as the way to transfer that data instead of a swipe. But over time, the point of holding onto any of those cards, which become digital abstractions once they’re on the phone, likely will fall away. Instead, for all anyone with an iPhone is concerned, the way to pay will be Apple.
A Better Experience

The subject of Apple’s unique power to change the way payments work came up in a conversation I had yesterday with the co-founder of Dwolla, a Des Moines, Iowa, startup building an internet-based alternative to the existing credit card network standards with the aim of moving money in real time. Send a dollar, get a dollar, the way the internet works. The five-year-old company counts among its users the state of Iowa, which accepts several kinds of tax payments via Dwolla.

The imperative the iPhone created for telecoms to upgrade their data networks holds a lesson for the leverage Apple has to change the payments landscape, says Dwolla CEO Ben Milne.
‘Apple’s already got a great mobile wallet. You use it all the time when you buy something on iTunes.’

“They already have 800 million cards on file,” Milne says of Apple. With that kind of heft to back it up, Apple can then rely on its proven design expertise to entice users into its payment world. “They’re going to give people a better experience that’s arguably, probably more efficient and more simple with hardware they control.”

In that world, it’s Apple, not the credit card companies, that have the control, even if those iPhone wallets are being used to “store” those credit cards. The credit card becomes abstract, just another option to tap that otherwise stays hidden. Really, you’ll be paying with Apple. In a sense, iPhone users already do. “Apple’s already got a great mobile wallet in that thing,” Milne says. “You use it all the time when you buy something on iTunes.”
The Next Logical Step

Once the credit card becomes that hidden (do you remember which one is connected to your iTunes account?), it’s only a short logical step to that card being eliminated altogether. Apple could get into the credit side of the game itself. Or it could integrate with a new kind of network such as Dwolla.

Dwolla may not quite be ready yet to act as Apple’s payment backend. But an Apple mobile wallet could only help Dwolla, and new internet-based ways of moving money in general. Right now, consumers don’t have much of a reason to use their phones instead of a card to pay in stores. Each mobile payment startup has its own platform that merchants may or (more likely) may not take. Nearly all of those merchants, on the other hand, take cards.

The ubiquity of an NFC-enabled iPhone, however, finally could force brick-and-mortar stores to offer a pay-by-phone option. And once Apple peels people away from physical credit cards to a digitized version of plastic, Dwolla and everyone else become digital options on the same equal footing in the same wallet.

Apple has the ability to succeed where Google and the few NFC-enabled Android phones to hit the market never could, because Apple controls the hardware and the software. Google supported NFC with its own wallet, but few handsets came out with the chips inside, since few payment terminals would take them. And few merchants bothered to accept NFC, since so few phones had it. That uncertainty disappears as soon as an NFC-enabled iPhone 6 floods the streets.

And while an iPhone wallet won’t mean an end of credit cards anytime soon—American Express and Visa reportedly have reached agreements to work with Apple—it’s hard to see how its spread wouldn’t hasten a future free of plastic. After all, a credit card is just a medium for transferring data, just like a smartphone. Except unlike a smartphone, a credit card doesn’t do anything else. The credit card companies themselves see this day coming.

If Apple, as expected, announces Tuesday that iPhones will become a new way to pay, the rest of the world might finally see that future, too.
