Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch : Here’s what has changed

Apple MacBook Pro lineup has just been refreshed. The last time this happened was in 2015 when Apple introduced the MacBook Pro with Force Touch Keypad, but the 2016 upgrade brings some crucial new features. For starters, the Apple MacBook Pro is now coming in three variants: the 13-inch version without the new Touch Bar, the 13-inch version with the Touch Bar, and the high-end 15-inch version with a Touch Bar.

The main change to the MacBook Pro is that Apple has gotten rid of the function keys on top, and instead introduced the new OLED Touch Bar which customizes according to the application you’re using. So for Final Cut Pro or Email or Safari, the bar will show specific function keys that apply to the application rather than a generic set of function keys.

For each application, the Touch Bar dynamically adapts and shows functions needed for it, although users can bring back a standard set of custom function keys as well for controlling brightness, volume etc. So what has Apple changed in the new MacBook Pro series compared to the earlier version? The chart below gives a quick look at how the new MacBook Pro has changed.

Apple MacBook Pro 2016 vs MacBook Pro 2015: A Specifications comparison.

The new MacBook Pro 2016 also has a 15.4-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit Retina display with 2880 by 1800 pixels resolution. The display is also brighter at 500 nits, and Apple has used the Wide color gamut (P3) seen on the iPhone 7 series in its new laptops as well.

The new MacBook Pro runs the sixth-generation quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with clock speeds of 2.6GHz, 2.7GHz, or 2.9GHz and Turbo boost option of 3.8Ghz. Apple is giving the option of Intel HD Graphics 530 or AMD’s Radeon Pro 450, 455, or 460 graphics with the new MacBook Pro, which is better than the previous version. The RAM is 16 GB with up to 2TB SSD storage space options.  The company promises 10 hours of battery life, which is not such a big jump.

Apple has completely redesigned the MacBook Pro in this series going for a new all-metal unibody construction. The backlit keyboard has the second-generation butterfly mechanism. Apple’s new MacBook Pro also does away with all other ports and instead has only four Type-C USB Thunderbolt 3 ports, which can be used to charge the device as well. Except this also means you’ll need to buy a lot of adapters, even if you just want to plug in your iPhone into your MacBook.

Microsoft Acquiring Linked in

Microsoft has agreed to buy professional social network LinkedIn for $26.2 billion. A company who develops software now they buying a social networking a Professional Social Network.  last year they bought MineCraft in 2.5milion.

Refsix : Football Referee's Smartwatch

Whoaa!!! I just got this news really mind blowing Football Referee's Smart watch so it can be easy for Refs to record key incidents and performance on the pitch .but i think now the man who runs all 90min with players on the pitch and keep tracking all the data during the match that's not possible. but now it can be so handy for them because startup doublesix has developed the refsix smartwatch and mobile app.
Its a Birtish based outfit but as you can see its a Sony Smartwatch 3 and now currently available only for Android users its cost  £180  refsix will let refs see how many yellow cards they've dished out for the season and even how many times they've refereed a certain player.You'll also be able to record key match incidents, see upcoming fixtures and review previous results all in the one app.

Hassan Rajwani, CEO of doublesix who gave some background on how the idea came to life. "The app has been six months in development but it was initially built as an app eight years ago as part of my dissertation for university," Rajwani told us. "Then I got a job, got bored, and decided to return to the idea and now we've just had the beta version go live.""We looked at referees and noticed nobody was actually wearing a smartwatch, he said. "In next year's Premier League, referees will have to wear three watches - the Polar one, a watch for Hawk-Eye and the Tag Heuer Connected Watch. We wanted to build something where could fit everything into one smartwatch."

Premier League referees to wear Tag Heuer Connected watches next season

 

While it sounds like the Tag partnership with the MLS and the Premier League looks to be nothing more than a good piece of product placement from the Swiss watchmaker, Rajwani tells  that the refsix app could work on Tag's Android Wear smartwatch if it was ever approved.
But Rajwani's ambition is not to get leading referees like Mark Clattenburg or Martin Atkinson to wear this smartwatch. At least, not yet. "The long term plan is to work with grassroots," he says. "There's 140,000 refs in the States and just 100 in the MLS. The long term model was never about being in the Premier League. We are focusing on grassroots where there are a significant number of
 referees."

Mark Clattenburg

Martin Atkinson

So if you want to be a ref so you should buy this Refsix Smart watch its worth to try it after they made a amazing job done.

moto 360 Android Watch

The Moto 360 Sport was announced alongside the 2nd generation Moto 360, but we've had to wait a little longer to get our hands on it.The Moto 360 Sport is only the second Android Wear watch to feature GPS, following last year's Sony SmartWatch 3. The Moto 360 Sport is no Tag Heuer Connected. Let's get that out of the way now. In fact, as looks go, the Moto 360 Sport falls well behind the Fossil Q Founder, the LG Watch Urbane and the Huawei Watch. Heck, even the Asus ZenWatch 2 looks nicer when paired with a suit and jacket.
                                                                                             
Whatever colour you opt for, you'll get a strap that boasts a special UV coating to help fend off sweat, and features air vents at the side, like most GPS running watches, to keep your wrists cool while on the move.
You'll also get a strap that picks up dust and fluff like no other smartwatch we've come across. The black version, that we've used, is the most guilty of this grimy crime (as you can see in the pictures). Luckily, the Moto 360 Sport is IP67 water resistant, so you can give it a quick splash every now and again to clean it off.

 Motorola is making big noises about the display on the 360 Sport, claiming it's a world's first for the new hybrid tech. Labelled 'AnyLight', the 1.37-inch LCD display is naturally adaptable, with the idea being that it can be nicely backlit in dim lighting situations, as per any Android Wear smartwatch. It also means it's easily readable due to the natural reflective tech when out and about in sunnier conditions. The inclusion of GPS connectivity means users can go running, using running apps, such as Endomondo, Ghost Racer and RunKeeper, without needing to carry their smartphones with them. In theory, at least. While those apps now technically support tether-free smartwatch standalone running, they are buggy as hell and more often than not result in inaccurate measurements – mainly due to the sessions starting before the GPS is locked in
A much safer option, and the one Motorola wants you to use, is the built-in Moto Body software. Built in on the watch, you'll need to add the app to your Android smartphone. Unfortunately, there's no iPhone option just yet.

The Moto 360 Sport packs a 300mAh battery, which is good for a full day's regular use. Turn on GPS, however, and it will take a hammering. Saying that, we've had the 360 Sport fully charged in the morning, used it throughout the day, gone for a GPS tracked run of around an hour, and still had enough juice to last until bed time.
I used this wearable device and it really impressed me its design also. and its keeping me alive i would say that you should go for it.

Pebble 2 Sporty Watch

This time, Pebble is bringing a more fitness feel to proceedings by adding features like a built-in optical heart rate monitor along with the ability to intelligently track sleep and step counts thanks to the built-in accelerometer.

The Pebble 2 is going to be available in five different sportier colors (black, white, aqua, flame and lime) offering more variety than its predecessor as well. Dimensions-wise, it measures in at 39.5 x 30.2mm with a 9.8mm thickness and weighs in at 31.7g. So it's lighter and slimmer than the Classic.

 The polycarbonate body is joined by a 22m silicone strap, which feature the quick release mechanism so you can swap in other bands. Pebble is sticking with the same 1.26-inch, 144 x 168 resolution always-on e-paper display, which now features Gorilla Glass 3 for an extra layer of protection. You still get the same set of physical buttons to navigate the menu screens.Water resistance is down from 50 to 30 meters, but it does mean you can take the Pebble 2 for a dip in the pool.there's an optical heart rate monitor to accompany the built-in accelerometer to track workout activity. It looks likely that you'll be able to take readings during workouts and get resting heart data.

You'll still get the same week's worth of battery life as the Pebble Classic, wiping the floor with the Apple Watch and Android Wear watches for stamina. You will still have to use the standard Pebble USB charging cable to power it up however.  

Pebble announced its release in September.

Its quite unique and classic watch not will make that much impact but for me this time Pebble bring something to taste.

Xiaomi Smartwatch

     Chinese wearable giant Xiaomi is eyeing its entry into the smartwatch world, and the company's CEO has confirmed that it's about to go head-to-head with Google and Apple.The Xiaomi smartwatch is one of the worst kept secrets in tech,Since then Xiaomi has seen immense popularity of its Mi Band and Mi Band Pulse fitness tracker, in no small part aided by their ridiculously low price points.

Design and looks are a big part of wearable tech, And judging by the design attitude to the Mi Band, things are looking promising.
Sure it's lightweight and practical. But it looks $20. And that's  such a good look for watches. So does Xiaomi have the chops to make a smartwatch good enough to wear?for me yes!!! and what else peoples wants thats Xiaomi is giving them.

Mi Band 2

This looks unlikely at first. The Xiaomi Mi Band 2 (above), which went on sale on 7 June, is still China only, and only a fraction of its devices make it to the West.In fact, officially, even the Mi Band Pulse isn't technically available over here yet. Hungry Xiaomi fans and smartwatch bargain hunters will be able to pick up a smartwatch from any number of resellers, but in the past Xiaomi has been painfully slow in globalising apps and software features. So even when the smartwatch gets unveiled, it still could be a painful wait.

We still don't know what software the Mi Smartwatch will run, but the idea of full fat Android fills us with fear. Xiaomi's VP is Hugo Barra (above), a former top Googler who could have the sway to get Android Wear onboard. That would be the dream.Price is a big factor holding back wearable tech and this is Xiaomi's area of expertise. The doomed Com1's premise was delivering Android Wear for $125, before Google shot it down. 

What you think ! share your views. let me know.

FIFA 17 Release Date

(A Beautiful Game)


As we know that FIFA launches its Beautiful Game before the Christmas and new Year. so this ritual is continues this  time releasing date  announced in USA on 27 September and rest of the countries will get from 29 September.   And if you own a last generation console, you're in luck. FIFA 17 is coming to the PS3 and Xbox 360 as well as the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. but no price has been announced yet but you can expect nearly 4000 to 5000 a basic edition.

 

I found FIFA 16 to be an interesting beast in my view. The core game play veered towards simulation with thoughtful ways that retool some of its most basic actions and your approach to a match. However it's hamstrung with flawed execution to some of it's headline features like FUT Draft and women's teams. How EA rectifies this remains to be seen. Though we might see how at the company's EA Play event later this month.

Its full reveal on 12th June so be prepared football lover and clean up your gears because beautiful game is on its way.

France launches terror alert app ahead of Euro 2016 tournament

The French government has launched a smartphone app that would alert users to possible terror attacks and provide them with information on how to stay safe. The French Interior Ministry announced the app on Wednesday ahead of the UEFA Euro 2016 soccer tournament, which kicks off on Friday outside Paris.

The app, called SAIP (Système d'alerte et d'information des populations), was developed as part of a pilot project following the November 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris, according to the AFP. It will use geolocation to deliver information tailored to each user's location, with alerts appearing less than 15 minutes after an incident is confirmed. Users will also be able to view alerts for up to eight different geographical areas, in case they want to check up on friends or family during an attack, and can share alerts directly to social media. The app will be available in French and English, and will be free to download on iOS and Android.
