Your movements will help charge your cell phone(Mobile)


Researchers have developed a new device that turns human motion into power for electronic devices such as cell phones, cameras and tablets.

The mobile generator 'Genneo' can charge a device with any type of movement so a user could purposefully shake it or just leave it in a pant pocket while taking a hike.

"Genneo has created a revolutionary line of products that capture energy from walking, shaking or moving in other ways and turn it into charge for your phone and other portable electronics," according to the product description on Kick starter.

"These products are easy to carry and they capture energy as you move normally, storing that energy in their on-board battery," it said.

The device includes a micro USB port and comes with a pre charging cable with a standard USB connection on the other side; that cable allows you to plug in one end into Genneo and the other end into your mobile device.

An LED battery gauge shows how much battery power Genneo has left, 'Mashable' reported.

Researchers will soon launch two models of the mobile generator. The first one delivers up to one hour of talk time in charge for every five hours that it is carried in a backpack.

The other gives up to one hour of talk time for every seven hours it is carried.


Shaking the Genneo accelerates charging. The first model can easily deliver three minutes of talk time per minute shaken and the second one produces up to two minutes of talk time per minute that you shake it.

Nokia Lumia 800 survives a three and a half month dive in a lake

A diamond may be forever, but Nokia phones come pretty dang close to matching diamonds in toughness. Case in point, a Swedish man who dropped his phone in a lake three and a half months ago. He recently found his Lumia 800 and the results are pretty typical of Nokia devices that go to hell and back.

Roger Nilsson lost his Nokia Lumia 800 in a lake and was able to recover it. The first Windows Phone handset from Nokia was at the bottom of this lake for 3.5 months until he was able to retrieve it. The condition? Covered in algae. Here’s what Roger say’s happened after recovering the device:

First Firefox OS-Powered Phone To India By ZTE

ZTE Corp of China has teamed up with online marketplace eBay to introduce a new smartphone device, based on Mozilla’s Firefox mobile operating system, to the Indian market.

eBay India is currently offering the phone, called the ZTE Open, under the category of ‘limited availability’, and at a price tag of Rs. 6,990. According to industry watchers, however, the limited availability of the handsets may be an instance of the companies merely testing the waters. ZTE and eBay have also narrowly beaten out Japanese electronics major Sony, which was reportedly planning on bringing a Firefox phone to the Indian market.

Apple vs Nokia vs Microsoft

Can man (and woman) live by tablet alone?

Given this week's hoopla, you'd think we all had $500 burning a hole in our pockets waiting to buy a new tablet (even though, they're pretty much like the old tablets). Apple got most of the attention, but Microsoft officially launched new versions of its Surface tablets and former phone star Nokia launched its first Windows tablet.
Nolia Lumia 2520
If you told me a couple of years ago that millions of people would pony up $500, $700, even $800 for a small flat panel computing device that lets you surf the Net and take pictures, I would have said you were a clueless billionaire. The standing rule in consumer electronics for decades has been that you wouldn't -- couldn't -- have a successful product until you hit the magical $200 price point. Apple dramatically broke that rule with the iPad. The company has sold more than 170 million of the devices. The question is, can we live by iPad alone?

Tourism Ministry launched an innovative website on Tuesday to make it easy for tourists to walk or drive through the most-visited cities in India by providing all tourism-related information at one place.

The Ministry has joined hands with Genesys for launching ‘Walking Tours’ at www.wonobo.com, where details of 12 major cities, including Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Kolkata, Chennai and Delhi regarding route map, famous eateries, monuments and parks are uploaded.


The site will soon cover 54 cities in the country. “The Ministry is partnering with Genesys to create a Walking Tours platform, one of the first such initiatives to be undertaken in any country,” Tourism Secretary Parvez Dewan said after the launching of the site.

Upgrade Your Windows 8 Into Windows 8.1

If you already have Windows 8, upgrading to Windows 8.1 is very simple. It will be the first app you see every time you open the Windows Store and the installation happens very quickly.
You don't have to re install your desktop applications or your Windows Store apps, and all your files are still there (as are libraries and the icons pinned to your taskbar.If you sign in with a Microsoft account you haven't used before, you might have to use a code that Microsoft emails or texts to you (if you've set that up in the past) to confirm it's you; that works like trusting a PC in Windows 8 but you don't have to do it as a separate step.



If you have Windows 7 (or earlier versions), you have to install Windows 8 (the same process as when Windows 8 first came out) and then upgrade to Windows 8.1.
If you've been trying the Windows 8.1 Preview, you can't upgrade directly to the RTM version (which Microsoft warned people about all along).
If you can't revert to Windows 8, you still do the update from the Windows Store and your files will stay on the system, but you'll have to reinstall your desktop programs.
If you've already upgraded another PC using the same Microsoft account you'll see tiles for the Windows Store apps you have installed on that other PC (marked with a little download icon) and you can tap on the tiles to install them.
Once you've got into the Windows 8 and 8.1 world, upgrades become almost seamless (previews aside). You just have to get there.

Samsung Galaxy Gear vs Pebble Smartwatch


Samsung jumped into the wearable accessory bandwagon with Galaxy Gear smartwatch, priced at $299. We went hands-on with the device at IFA 2013 in Berlin last week.
The smartwatch space is heating up with the likes of Pebble, Kreyos and Sony trying to make an impact. With someone like Samsung entering the fray, the possibility of smartwatches going mainstream gets bigger. Sony has been in this space longer than anyone else, but hasn’t really cracked the recipe for success. It’s interesting to note that Qualcomm too is trying its luck in this space with their Toq smartwatch. But it’s Pebble who seems to have got a decent head-start ever since they garnered over $10 million crowdfunding via Kickstarter last year. Hence, we thought of pitching Pebble against the Galaxy Gear and see how they fare.Smartwatches like Samsung’s Galaxy Gear and Sony’s multiple attempts to break the wearables market are trying too hard and missing the point, Pebble CEO Eric Migicovsky says, arguing that simplicity is the right route to the wrist. “I think everyone is kind of ignoring the things that you need to do with a smartwatch” Kickstarter success Migicovsky said at TechCrunch Disrupt today. “It needs to mesh into your life, it needs to have a long battery life … and it needs to just not, y’know, be annoying.”
