Graphene and levitation through sonar waves

Curved wristbands, tablets and tvs are here to stay. They are foldable, thin and almost translucent. 

I consider this technology to be disruptive for the market, graphene is strong and conducts electricity better than any other material. Plus it allows clean filtration of seawater.

 Another interesting technology indeed is to levitate objects through sonic waves..

This drone has bat-like wings that morph with changing air conditions

Funny thing is, it kind of looks like a Batman vehicle.

Researchers at the University of Southampton have announced successful flight tests for a new kind of biologically inspired aircraft wing. Intended for use in tiny drones called micro air vehicles (MAVs), the design represents a fundamentally different kind of wing template for UAVs.

If the artificial wings most closely resemble the wings of bats, that’s entirely by design. The Southampton team built a series of computational models to mimic the physiology of bats, which are the only mammals capable of genuine flight. Read more…

About resources and inequality. This drawing reminds me of our current situation towards the stock market affecting global economy, even though oil and gas are cheaper now, that is somehow affecting the economy with “bad Mondays” on the stock records overseas ... and China growing slowly. I hope this doesn't mean the beginning of a “double dip”, a replica of what happened on 2008..

Moving On

We have a difficult announcement to make. Beginning today we're winding down the Parse service, and Parse will be fully retired after a year-long period ending on January 28, 2017. We're proud that we've been able to help so many of you build great mobile apps, but we need to focus our resources elsewhere. We understand that this won't be an easy transition, and we're working hard to make this process as easy as possible. We are committed to maintaining the backend service during the sunset period, and are providing several tools to help migrate applications to other services. First, we're releasing a database migration tool that lets you migrate data from your Parse app to any MongoDB database. During this migration, the Parse API will continue to operate as usual based on your new database, so this can happen without downtime. Second, we're releasing the open source Parse Server, which lets you run most of the Parse API from your own Node.js server. Once you have your data in your

Bye bye Parse..

Plug.dj says Goodbye

The plug3 group has runned out of finantiation and consequently shuts down plug.dj which rose after the previous death of the illegal copyright music web Grooveshark.com.

Spotify and Itunes Play giants are leaving other music services without ways to monetize. We still have left great music services as Rhapsody, Rdio, Last.fm or Pandora although, I do forsee that they will struggle with the numbers.

I will very well remeber plug.dj´s dancing avatars, they were great and made me discover new cool radios of good people. I do think that most of the users used adblock which made plug3 naked. I thought their gamification strategy was original, but obviously not enough, the more you listened to music the more points you earned to buy new dancing avatars.

Here's two of them:

Weren´t they cool?

There´s more information about the shut down here
