Holographic display...

Culled from: http://berryflow.com/2014/10/review-celluon-epic-mobile-projection-keyboard/

At first glance the device doesn’t seem like much, it’s a simple small form-factor with little in the way of complexity.  It’s roughly a quarter of the size of my Z30 device in length/ height but double in width.  The unit comes with a some user manuals and a usb charging cord for the built-in battery.  Overall the box says you should expect 2-3 hours of non-stop usage from the device which will hopefully mean you won’t have to use your charging cable too often.

There are very few moments, in my life, when I fire something up and my mind says “woahdude I’m in the future”, but when I first turned on the Epic projection keyboard I couldn’t help but think back to my childhood days of watching Starwars with my Dad and watching in awe at all the fictional technology they were using, including holographic keyboards.  And while this isn’t quite a holographic keyboard it comes damn close to one.
The device sports a laser projection at the top of the device, a motion sensor and a infrared emitter at the bottom to identify which keys on the keyboard projection layout are being touched.  Tapping on a projected key will make the device beep giving you some nice audio feedback to make-up for the lack of physical feedback by way of a click or clack.
The unit works through Bluetooth HID to connect to your device.  The box says is supports a wide range of operating systems including MacOSX, Windows, Windows Phone, Android, iOS and ofcourse BlackBerry 10!  Connecting the device to your BlackBerry 10 device is the same as almost any other bluetooth peripheral you would connect.  You simply turn on the bluetooth on your device as well as turn on the Epic unit and tap on it when it shows up in your list of nearby bluetooth peripherals.  Because the device uses HID it doesn’t require a passcode to be input, unlike other devices that do require this step.
Once connected you can use the device as either an external keyboard or an external trackpad.  I got to test it for a bit writing emails and BBMs from my hub and found the writing experience to be quite enjoyable.  There were a few occasions where quick typing with both fingers would confuse the motion sensor, but overall I am very impressed with the accuracy and quality of the keyboard input and sensitivity.  I am told that you can also adjust the sensitivity to tailor it to your own preference which could improve the performance even more.  It also performs well as a trackpad and was able to do everything I could do with a regular bluetooth mouse with it, although it is fairly difficult to do a lot of dragging gestures.

The main drawbacks of the product has to be it’s requirement of a flat surface to function.  Everybody has their own preferred place to get work done, and presumably this device would likely be used while at a desk, but I have heard negative impressions of the performance of the device on plane/ train/bus pull-out tables which aren’t necessary flat, but usually a bit slanted which alters the shape of the keyboard on the surface.  As mentioned earlier, advanced trackpad gestures are a bit difficult to do although they do work and aren’t too difficult to do, the accuracy is not nearly as good as the typing experience.  The last drawback I could find was that the price of the product is fairly expensive.  At $150 it does bank on it’s easy portability, easy user-interface and cool factor which doesn’t necessarily make it a rip-off, but it does make one question whether they might not just be better off getting a cheaper bluetooth keyboard to use even though you’d be doing so at the expense of portability.
Overall I’d give the device an 8.5/10.  It’s very useful, especially for those people who often find they’re using their mobile device at their desk to type, the benefit of the projection keyboard is that you can use it for your desktop/ laptop as well as mobile device and not have to worry about moving a clunky keyboard out of the way to work on papers or read a few reports.  Not to mention the great performance and battery life.
Pros:

Accurate typing experience
Portable
Good battery life
Cons:

Advanced trackpad movements are kind of difficult
Requires a flat surface to work best
Fairly expensive at $150

To me o, if u r naturally reserved, den u r an introvert o. If extroverts r reserved, it's just bcoz dey decide to be so at certain places or instances.

Thanks, I most time finds it difficult to answer questions both in Church and class even when am having a vast knowledge in d topic of discussion. Thank God am ME.

I don't drink, smoke or party. Not too eager in making new friend but always appreciate any kind gesture.
My community is online in fact internet is my closest pal. Are these xtics of introverts or shynes? But i think am just reserved.

My colleague saw me sipping it today and was like "Its gonna affect ur spm" but am neither moved nor give it a second thought. I most time drinks it when am feeling feverish - It works for me that way cos it contains quinine.

Happy birthday fellow Nlander. LLNP in gud health.

PLEASE DOES NOKIA XL SUPPORT WHATSAPP?

IF YES, HOW DIFFERENT IS IT FROM THE NOKIA X2

I NEED QUICK RESPONSE TO THIS...


THANKS

its kinda tricky to install whatsapp on XL but the best you can do yourself is take it to Nokia care to flash it. The software that came with the phone is not whatsapp enabled. But you'll enjoy it when you did.

Sikorsky S-97 RAIDER

Sikorsky roolout there newest and best next generation choper today, here is the overview;

Imagine a next-generation multi-mission helicopter platform so advanced that it can reach speeds of more than 220 knots, operating at 10,000 feet in 95° F of heat. The Sikorsky S-97 RAIDER™ helicopter is poised to realize this vision and revolutionize next-generation military aviation.
The S-97 RAIDER aircraft’s capabilities will meet both conventional U.S. Army and Special Operations future requirements in a variety of combat roles. Additionally, potential applications for US Air Force, US Navy, and US Marine Corp services are being explored. Sikorsky Aircraft has invested in X2™ technology to illustrate its commitment to developing future capabilities that are achievable and affordable. X2 technology is scalable to a variety of military missions including light assault, light attack, armed reconnaissance, close-air support, combat search and rescue, and unmanned applications.
Likethe X2 Technology™ Demonstrator that unofficially broke the helicopter speed record on Sept. 15, 2010, the S-97 RAIDER helicopter will feature twin coaxial counter-rotating main rotors (in place of one main rotor and a tail rotor) and a pusher propeller. For the armed reconnaissance mission, the S-97 RAIDER helicopter will have space aft of the cockpit for armament and auxiliary fuel. In an assault configuration, the cabin will afford space to accommodate up to six troops.
In addition to flying at nearly twice the speed of a conventional helicopter, the S-97 RAIDER helicopter will incorporate other key performance parameters critical to combat operations — increased maneuverability, greater endurance, and the ability to operate at high altitudes. Compared with other light military helicopters, the S-97 RAIDER helicopter is expected to significantly reduce turning radius and acoustic noise signature, while significantly increasing the aircraft’s payload, flight endurance and hot and high hover capability.

delishpot: True that.

Seconded

Congrat to him. I really like his "Genesis by Majek" performance, I hope its part of his booster to win.

My point here is clear; if we each and everyone of us see what we've contributed to man race and we respect our right of existence, the world would be a better place. Even in Nigeria, if we could stop trading blames and help our falling fellow or see people next to us as our brother we'll be a better nation. What binds us together is more than what divides us...

I thought I will post this very long article given the current situation in the middle east.

Some time ago, Iran's Supreme Leader Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged the Muslim World to boycott anything and everything that originates with the Jewish people.
In response, Meyer M. Treinkman, a pharmacist, out of the kindness of his heart, offered to assist them in their boycott as follows:

"Any Muslim who has Syphilis must not be cured by Salvarsan discovered by a Jew, Dr. Ehrlich. He should not even try to find out whether he has Syphilis, because the Wasserman Test is the discovery of a Jew. If a Muslim suspects that he has Gonorrhea, he must not seek diagnosis, because he will be using the method of a Jew named Neissner.

"A Muslim who has heart disease must not use Digitalis, a discovery by a Jew, Ludwig Traube.

Should he suffer with a toothache, he must not use Novocaine, a discovery of the Jews, Widal and Weil.

If a Muslim has Diabetes, he must not use Insulin, the result of research by Minkowsky, a Jew. If one has a headache, he must shun Pyramidon and Antypyrin, due to the Jews, Spiro and Ellege.

Muslims with convulsions must put up with them because it was a Jew, Oscar Leibreich, who proposed the use of Chloral Hydrate.

Arabs must do likewise with their psychic ailments because Freud, father of psychoanalysis, was a Jew.

Should a Muslim child get Diphtheria, he must refrain from the “Schick" reaction which was invented by the Jew, Bella Schick.

"Muslims should be ready to die in great numbers and must not permit treatment of ear and brain damage, work of Jewish Nobel Prize winner, Robert Baram.

They should continue to die or remain crippled by Infantile Paralysis because the discoverer of the anti-polio vaccine is a Jew, Jonas Salk.

"Muslims must refuse to use Streptomycin and continue to die of Tuberculosis because a Jew, Zalman Waxman, invented the wonder drug against this killing disease.

Muslim doctors must discard all discoveries and improvements by dermatologist Judas Sehn Benedict, or the lung specialist, Frawnkel, and of many other world renowned Jewish scientists and medical experts.

"In short, good and loyal Muslims properly and fittingly should remain afflicted with Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Heart Disease, Headaches, Typhus, Diabetes, Mental Disorders, Polio Convulsions and Tuberculosis and be proud to obey the Islamic boycott."

Oh, and by the way, don't call for a doctor on your cell phone because the cell phone was invented in Israel by a Jewish engineer.

Meanwhile I ask, what medical contributions to the world have the Muslims made?"
