I really love this new braille smartwatch. It is refreshing and soul soothing. When technology elevates the human spirit then it is obvious that heads towards the right direction.

“Alexa, take a photo.” Introducing Echo Look—hands-free camera and style assistant. Request an invitation: http://amzn.to/2p3Ztkw Echo Look—everything you love about Alexa, and now she can help you look your best. Using just your voice, easily take full-length photos and short videos with a hands-free camera. Plus, get a second opinion with Style Check on which outfit looks best.

The technique is similar to that used with other single pixel cameras. The trick is to first randomize the light that the pixel detects, record the resulting light intensity, and then repeat this process thousands of times.

It’s easy to think that this randomization makes the task of creating an image even harder, but the reverse is true.

The randomization process changes the intensity of light each time the pixel records it. These differences in intensity are not random but instead correlated with the scene in front of the pixel. So producing an image is simply a question of mining this data to find the correlation. And the more data that is collected, the better the image becomes.

So by recording the intensity of light many times, it is possible to create a high-resolution picture with a single pixel.

Samsung Electronics, announced today that it is introducing the industry’s first 8-gigabyte (GB) LPDDR4 (low power, double data rate 4) mobile DRAM package, which is expected to greatly improve mobile user experiences, especially for those using Ultra HD, large-screen devices. The 8GB mobile DRAM package utilizes four of the newest 16 gigabit (Gb) LPDDR4 memory chips and advanced 10-nanometer (nm)-class* process technology.

“The advent of our powerful 8GB mobile DRAM solution will enable more capable next-generation, flagship mobile devices around the world,” said Joo Sun Choi, executive vice president of Memory Sales and Marketing at Samsung Electronics. “We will continue to provide advanced memory solutions offering the highest values and leading-edge benefits to meet the escalating needs of devices having dual camera, 4K UHD and VR features.”

The new 8GB LPDDR4 operates at up to 4,266 megabits per second (Mbps), which is twice as fast as DDR4 DRAM for PCs working typically at 2,133 Mbps per pin. Assuming a 64 bit (x64) wide memory bus, this can be viewed as transmitting over 34GBs of data per second.

The Extreme 900 features a USB Type C port and ships with both Type C-to-Type C, and Type C-to-Type A SuperSpeed cables. It’s a nice inclusion, but it’s not as great as it could be: Not every USB-C device you plug this storage drive into will support 10Gbps USB 3.1. Right now, a USB-C port can mean everything from USB 2.0 speeds to 10Gbps USB 3.1. It can also mean Thunderbolt. Welcome to the messy world of Type C ports. [Via]
