This is our comedic take on the iPhone 6s and the Siri component of the device. Although having humorous connotations,  the video illustrates the sleek design and packing that apple deliver their products in.

Wearable technology?

Googled has developed a wearable technology called Project Jacquard. This form of wearable technology weaves fabric with metallic alloys.

what does this mean, however? Basically it's creating an object, like a piece of furniture, or clothing, that has some computing skills. This means that everyday materials can be turned in a computing interface. This is expected to be a revolution for the fashion industry where designers will be able to add electronics to their designs and create new features.

Facebook finally getting a Dislike button?

No matter how much Facebook said they'd never do it, for years users of the social network site have campaigned heavily for a dislike button. More than just being able to dislike a status of someone's you don't like, many arguments for the new button was based around the want to be able to dislike a post or video that has confronting content, a situation where "liking" seems a tad inappropriate. And it looks like their wish is coming true - sort of.

Facebook has recently announced that they are in the stages of rolling out their new reaction emoticons feature. So what does this mean? Starting in some selected markets (which will be released to other parts of the world later), users will have the chance to respond to post in more ways than just 'liking' it.

The feature consists of seven emoticons, including the traditional like thumb's up, (pictured above) that range from happy to angry. This will now allow users to express their emotions to a post in multiple ways.

Microsoft Surface Book

Microsoft have released their first laptop ever and that is the Surface Book and comes with serious power; with 6th Generation Intel Core i5 upgradable to i7 and packs a battery life of 12 hours. The laptop has 3 configurations which makes it extremely versatile and suitable for every computing task imaginable. However it is reported that when used as a laptop the 13.5 inch Pixel Sense screen feels much heavier than the attached keyboard which gives an awkward weight distribution.

When on the move the keyboard can be detached and used as a tablet with the Surface Pen, also the screen can be detached flipped around and reattached to form a creative canvas. The design of the hinge that allows the flexibility of the surface book is a huge win for Microsoft and the overall design of the product is brilliant. However I am suspicious of the colour of surface book as it does look quite similar to Apple's Macbook Pros and the price starting from $2299 does limit purchases to a certain market. Anyhow, it is definitely an impressive piece of engineering and a quality product, and as Microsoft has put it... the "Ultimate laptop".

Tesla Partially Autonomous Vehicle's

Tesla motors is ready to release a software update for their Model S and Model X cars to make them almost completely autonomous. After a year of testing the "Tesla Autopilot" they are confident in its ability to consistently and safely control steering, braking and even lane changing. This effectively means the driver can leave full control to the automobile in certain conditions.

These features are possible by combining information from 12 ultrasonic sensors (to monitor the immediate space around the vehicle), and a long distance radar mounted in the front grille to navigate the road ahead. All of this data is combined with GPS streaming to the vehicle to regulate speed, turn the appropriate angle for the corner ahead and execute a lane change.

Elon Musk has been labelled our generations 'real life Tony Stark'. Quite the compliment to be associated with the Marvel Universe Iron Man's 'Genius, Billionaire, Playboy, Philanthropist' qualities. In his autobiography he stated his life's purpose is to save humanity from purposeful or accidental environmental extinction, which includes the possible colonisation of mars. Whilst partially autonomous cars are a step in the future, i can help but think whats coming next!

"Should have put a ring on it" ~ Queen B

The 'Wearable ring-type computing device' was recently awarded a leading prize for innovation at the latest CEATEC exhibition in Japan. Although looking like a regular ring in the market with smooth finishes, the ring does a-lot more than be a fashion icon.

The ring can be charged for up to 2 DAYS and has the following abilities: wirelessly control your tv, collect/alert warnings for emails, purchase items with a swipe of your wand and unlock your car/house.

Sounds maps for the blind

According to an article posted by digital trends, Microsoft has been developing a headset which will help people, suffering with blindness, to be able navigate a lot easier through their surroundings.

The Headset, made in collaboration between Art and Science, creates a mobile friendly, interactive, sound map of a city. The headset ensures that the person wearing it is always aware of their surroundings at all times. It creates a 3D audio map by connecting to a mobile device and picks up signals from Bluetooth beacons located around the city.

The headset works somewhat like a guide dog, although it is very unlikely that this new technology will replace the hardworking dog or the cane. By using sounds that alter in pitch and tone, the headset is able to lead someone to their destination. Things that will enrich the lives of the people using the headset, include being told when there is a post office, or bank coming up.
