Marketing touch pad Google could experience a slight delay, according to information obtained by the website The Verge. Originally scheduled in May, the output of the device would eventually take place in July. The reason? Google insists on staying competitive with its rivals and is therefore seeking to reduce its production costs to arrive at a selling price as low as possible.

To achieve this, the Mountain View company has decided to grant an additional two months with ASUSTeK, responsible for the hardware, to make changes in design. For some competitors, like the Kindle Fire, are very competitive: $ 199 (about 150 euros), while the tablet Google could cost around 200 euros.

Google would be aimed a price substantially equivalent to that of the Kindle Fire. If such a decline is confirmed, Islands gains expected by the manufacturer will mechanically lower than expected even if concessions are made on the material plane. Still, Google could somehow catch up, by focusing on consumer paid content on Google Play through the tablet.

The tablet is equipped with a screen of 7 inches diagonally, a quad-core processor Nvidia Tegra and a WiFi connection. To animate the whole, it is in its fourth version of Android (Ice Cream Sandwich) was selected as the mobile operating system.

2012 Cyber Tech News: Google Unveiled The Glasses. Or Almost …

Google finally revealed his glasses augmented reality: the “Glass Project”. The demo video makes you want to try them … but then to adopt them?

That’s it, the shelves are has-beens? We knew the secret of Google X Professor Xavier was preparing augmented reality glasses, probably based on Android. Few concrete details were still filtered down to these days. The project now has a name: “Glass Project” and even a video demo (simulated):

GPS, camera, voice recognition, connectivity to all your social networks … the glasses seem to integrate all components of a smartphone means. The challenge is to make them usable without hands, and it’s actually more convenient to play the ukulele.

And if not? Not much, according to the concept pictures floating around, the device could be relatively small and as unobtrusive as possible (though). One eye is affected by the projection that will give the impression of being semi-transparent.


For now these are only models.

In short, the video reveals a potentially interesting concept in certain circumstances, but ultimately a bit pointless. Practically everything depends on speech recognition, a kind of super-Siri. So if you want to interact with your glasses: you must talk to yourself out loud, all the time (and look like a happy schizophrenic). In addition, I must say that in everyday life, in the hubbub of a street for example, these technologies are generally less impressive than in the demos (even less for some).

Otherwise, what about the consultation data? And more complex interactions on the same data? If there are many things you can do in speech recognition, there are more who are difficult.

And also, what about the eye strain that is sure to lead to a long asymmetric projection?

In short, leboncoin on the tablet or smartphone? Not yet anyway. I remain cautious ahead of the “Glass Project”, and I bet we will see any time soon in supermarkets

Information On Smartphones Flies that you might not know of!


End of 2012, mobile applications may exceed the news sites on the Internet.

More than an epiphenomenon, it’s a real groundswell. Last Thursday, the mobile users have accessed more than ever their smartphones to stay abreast of current events. The French have taken on their mobile evolution of the assault by the raid on the apartment of the killer of Toulouse. The major applications have all seen their audience skyrocket. The Figaroa, for example, recorded a threefold increase in the number of visitors to its mobile applications (iPhone, iPad, Android and Windows Phone). For Le Monde, the number of hits on mobile surpassed those of the website. In exceptional cases, this could become the rule by the end of the year.

Beyond a dramatic news, the consultation of information on the go tends to be rooted in the mores. Almost 37% of smartphone users in five major European countries (including France) have already accessed news sites via an application or Web browser, according to the latest study released by ComScore. An increase of 74% in one year! In France, sales rose 59% year over year, the prize going to Spain, with a growth of 160%. Owners of smartphones become true “addicted” to information on mobile. More than a third of them consults news sites at least once a month, an increase of 74%, and already 10% of them do almost daily, an increase of 82% . In other words, people who visit the sites more information on mobile are also those who have more appeal.

Changing consumption patterns
“The increased adoption of smartphones in Europe contributed to the consumption of news and information on the fly,” says Blandine Silverman, director of ComScore Mobile. Last year, more than 14 million smartphones were sold in France. In addition, the size of phone screens has increased significantly, which makes reading easier. Moreover, with the exception of Apple, handset makers have contributed – especially through financial support – the development of applications related to information.

Important for magazine publishers attending a changing consumption patterns, the challenge is no less crucial for brands of mobile phones. Anxious to respond to the expectations of local consumers, they are trying to encourage publishers to develop applications in their world. This was accompanied by an improvement in the quality of products tailored for mobile, with more alerts. These short messages are a means of access to information very popular with mobile users.

The development of the tablet market should also benefit the viewing of the information in “nomadic”. Even if, contrary to smartphones, which are generally available outside the home, the shelves are at home.

The way you might not want to take - the terrifying Glass Skywalk of Tianmen Mountian!


Jutting out from a sheer cliff 1,430 meters high, the glass skywalk in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park offers sightseers terrifying thrills and clear view of the mountains below as they tread nervously across the 60 meter long bridge encircling the vertical cliffs of Tianmen Mountain in Hunan province. The 3ft-wide, 2.5in thick glass walkway is so scary that sightseers are requested to wear cloth slip-ons over their shoes when they cross the skywalk, presumably to make the job easier for the cleaners.


No matter how terrifying the glass skywalk looks, it can only be an improvement from the treacherous road made of wooden planks thousands of feet high on the sides of the Huashan Mountain, located in the south of Huayin city.

Unbelievable technology in the toilet - urine controlled video game!

Drinkers can enjoy a spot of simulated skiing or extinguish some virtual flames while relieving themselves at The Exhibit bar in Balham, south London.

High-tech sensors detect the direction of urine and translate it into action on a 12-inch screen above every urinal.


By aiming carefully while spending a penny, users can guide a skier off piste or put out a raging inferno during their 60-second toilet trip.

There is also a general knowledge quiz called Clever Dick, in which players must pee in the right direction to select their answers.

When their game is over, players are given a code which they can enter into a website to join online leaderboards.


Developed in Britain after three years of research, it is hoped the world-first system will make money for bar owners through advertising.

Designer Gordon MacSween said: "We weren't sure how people would react, but on the first night after we installed it, a group of America servicemen were in the bar.

"I heard one of them coming out of the toilet, high-fiving his mate saying, 'Twelve!'

"His pals were saying 'No way dude!' and going off to play and compete, and I thought, this is good.

"Because of where it is, and you've got a minute of a guy's time, it's a great time to put messages in front of him.

"We've already carried adverts for products whose sales have gone up by 40 and 50 per cent, so they are very keen to use it as a promotional tool."

He added: "Because people are having a laugh, there's a lot less vandalism — people tend to get less angry.

"During testing, we tended to drink a lot of water so that we could play it more often."

The system was trialled at a bar in Cambridge before opening at The Exhibit in London this weekend.

Bar owner Drew Weatherhead said: "Hopefully it will bring people in and they will start competing for high scores."

It comes five years after Nintendo wowed the world with motion-controlled gaming and their pioneering games console — the Wii.
