Blackberry going too far with their 'Passport"?

Let me tell you a small story..So there was a guy leading a pretty low life, remembering old times when he was all popular and exciting and wanted (you know, the typical casanova type). And though he had been working hard to follow the latest trends, he wasn't having much success in life. But then, finally his efforts (and a LOT of compromises) get him back on the success track. And then he goes a bit too overboard in his joy.... this is a story that can be applied on what has happened to Blackberry lately. The company after what seems like a long time registered decent profits , and to carry on with its 'innovative' designs, and in order to not lose out to the other giants by ending up with monotonous designs, blackberry has announced 3 new smartphones (see above), without any specs though.

The Z3 carries on the line of Z series smartphones , while the classic is  a touchscreen+qwerty smartphone. But its the Blackberry Passport that really I have no idea who was smart enough (sic) to suggest the design. the square 4.5 inch screened smartphone (with a pretty decent resolution of 1440 X 1440) has a qwerty keyboard with touch capabilities to allow gesture input... I mean of all the things one can do with the design, this is surely surprising... though i am not sure if in a positive sense. People already having issues trying to fit giant screened phablets like the Samsung Note 3 will be surely dumbstruck at this even wider smartphone...

        May God save our jeans....

So all blackberry fans out there, rejoice for the resurgence of the firm, and get ready to ask fashion designers to incorporate large pockets in the chic clothing ranges to accommodate this block of a phone...
Though on a  positive note, this one will surely cause ripples, which I hope will sustain if it is backed by good hardware and some cool features

iPhone 6 pics leaked .... and leaked again...

With the iPod-ish design, the iPhone 6 has made another appearance (as you can see, alongside HTC One M8 and iPhone 5S) ... the pics have surfaced for the 2nd time, so seem pretty reliable (with reasonable doubt as always... xD). As we can see, the iPhone 6 is a bit larger than the iPhone 5S, which earlier was leaked by the taiwanese racer/actor Jimmy Lin (below)

So what do you guys think will make the next Apple flagship different from the others? Coz, one thing's for sure, if they don't catch up with the Android party, and race ahead while they are at  it, Apple might see some not so pretty news soon...

What the F??? Samsung to start a new smartphone series??

Samsung's Galaxy S5 is still in pre booking stage, and yet to be actually sold in retail, and we have here with us a new flagship device in the rumor box , what is being called the Galaxy F.... the name could just be a temporary one, or could indicate the birth of a new family of smartphones.

The rumors had been doing round for quite some time now, but its now that an image has been leaked ( @WindyLeak) . The rumored device is supposedly even better than the S series counterparts, powered by Snapdragon 805 quad core processor and 3GB of RAM , along with  a 16MP shooter at the back. What makes it even better is the fact that it is the first 2K screened baby for Samsung, with its 5.2 inch QHD display (2560 X 1440) , which correlates to a mind boggling pixel density.

The device was rumored to launch last month, but as we know it hasn't , so we can expect something to come up after Galaxy S5 releases on April 11....

If SamMobile’s tip is to be believed, Samsung is readying a 10.5 inch tablet ( SM-T800) to take on the large screen tablet war that is going to break out soon, with Google launching its new Nexus 10.1 , along with Apple getting geared with a 12 inch iPad, with its already launched 10 inch version in the market.

The tablet by Samsung will be powered by a quad core Snapdragon processor, and will have 2 GB RAM, along with 16, 32 and 64 GB storage variants. It will run Android 4.4.2 , and will sport a 8 MP rear and 2 MP front camera , microSD slot and a 7900 mAh battery. The tablet according to the spec sheet was a WiFi only model, though we can expect cellular variants as well.The tablet’s will boast a 2K  Super AMOLED display, that is, 2560 X 1440 resolution, which is surely better than the iPad’s 2056 X 1536 resolution.

Apple Iphone 6 gets ready to say goodbye to screen cracks with sapphire-power

Apple is surely making things pretty exciting with the rumors about the upcoming Iphone6 coming and shaking many a camps in the tech world, but here's the latest one we have out in the wild.. according to the latest patent filing, IPhone 6 could sport a sapphire glass screen , going way beyond Corning Gorilla glass 3 .

The patent is for Apple’s usual oleophobic coating compatible with sapphire screens, and with a previous patent showing IPhone with sapphire glass screen, this is one reliable rumor allright.

Though issues with sapphire screens have made things a bit hard uptill now , the fact that sapphire screens are too costly (even for IPhone standards!!) , heavier than the ‘Gorilla’ , making the device dimmer and have a shorter battery life. That’s why all we can do is wait (like always) for time to tell will the IPhone 6 have the ‘sapphire-power’ or not.

To remind you, we shared some previous rumors on our facebook page  regarding the IPhone 6 , that we could see a 4.7 and/or 5.5 inch screened device with QHD display . Also is doing rounds the rumor that the smartphone is going to be sporting a whole array of smart sensors, from Blood Pressure, to pressure, humidity and temperature sensors, along with the claimed ability of iOS8 to handle even more...

‘Safe in 30 seconds’ , as new test detects major ‘date rape drug’ in your glass itself

Chemists at the National University of Singapore have developed a unique test to detect one of the major ‘date rape drugs’ , Gamma Hydroxy Butyric acid (GHB) in any beverage. Date rape drugs , also called predator drugs are sedatives which cause loss of consciousness and possibly amnesia , used widely for recreational and criminal purposes.Earlier tests involved chromatographic separation and subsequent testing, which required some bit of geeky apparatus and minimum 10 minutes, both of which are obviously the last things you have sitting in a club with a spiked drink in your hand. In this test, the ‘sensor’ when added to the drink makes GHB change its color to orange.

The team , from 17 fluorescent compounds , finalized what they call ‘GHB Orange’ , after testing all of them with drinks laced with various concentrations of GHB. The efficiency of ‘GHB Orange’ was determined by mixing with samples of various beverages , alcoholic, non alcoholic, colorless and colored ,containing GHB , which were differentiated from non spiked drinks by adding the sensor.
For transparent or translucent drinks, the difference was easy to make out with the naked eye, but in case of colored drinks , additional light was required to detect the color change.

The team is hoping to develop a commercial kit based on this tech, which is one which all clubbers really should be looking out for , keeping your safety in mind…
