first major divorce of the year
sony splits from ericsson & names it sony mobile communications
By Justin Camilleri
I was expecting this divorce. Sony finally had the balls to move on from Ericsson. Since its merge with the swedish company Ericsson the merger was loosing money every year. You cannot have two captains and I truly believe in that. All divorces come with a price and it costed Sony 1.05 billion euros to buy Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson. This is what was reported. I believe that this was a good move from Sony and finally they can properly focus on telephony and hopefully move on a full Android OS.
Who needs a mouse any more!
tobii gaze interface let's your control windows 8 with your eyes
By Justin Camilleri
It actually works and very accurate I might say. You can see a small demo here on top but from reviews I've been reading from various well known websites this is quite a big thing at the International CES technology fair happening right now in Las Vegas. Tobii Technology demonstrates how Gaze interaction makes it possible to point and interact in ways that are superior to both touch and mouse. It changes the user interface for regular computers as fundamentally as touch has for handheld devices.

When two good things come together
home automation at its best! hopefully
When I saw this the first time on you tube I actually was very impressed that someone like Crestron would actually get the rights to use Siri technology and use it as a voice command on their home automation systems. I believe that this could be the future for home automation. The ability to stick to one remote control that literally controls your home is fantastic especially when this remote control is your smartphone. We have tendencies of losing the remote control in the sofa or somewhere between sheets. Instead our smartphone is so essential to us nowadays that we never lose sight from it and usually is comfortably laying in our hands. My only concern is that Siri needs to be pressed for automation and language/accent barrier still exists especially in a noisy environment. I believe that with a bit of improvement in Siri voice technology and third party apps like the one invented by Crestron we seriously are living the future of home automation.
a SMART WINDOW INTO THE FUTURE
samsung LAUNCHED A TRANSPARENT SMART window
This is the reason why we would like to go to CES next year. Hopefully the world is still what it is and no cataclisma happes that changed the way we are living our lives. Jokes apart, Samsung introduced the world the first transparent smart tv. It is a CES innovation winner for 2012. You heard well it is transparent. Basically you can use it instead of your window in the kitchen. Apart from the normal stuff of a smart tv its full touch and has virtual blinds that can obscure light when needed. It is eco friendly as it consumes practically nothing to run. It uses solar power to generate its own electricity.

Samsung Smart Window available in the near future.
