You can now actually hide your stuff on a computer

-
Image
You simply create a Folder without a name and an icon. (The safest way to hide your contents ;) ) Have you ever tried not naming a folder at all? Probably, yes. And probably you have failed too. The folders when not named used to display dialogue boxes stating you must give a name to your folder. However, now, either it reverts back to ‘New Folder’ or the name you had previously assigned to it. So, how do we do it? Click on your folder and press F2, or right click on your folder and select rename. Then Hold the Alt Key and Type 0160 in the numeric and let go of the Alt key and Press Enter. Make sure to type the digits on the numeric keys on the right hand side not the top row. Now that your folder does not have a name. Let us have the icon disappear too. Right click on the folder. Select properties. Select Customize. Select Change Icon. Select the Icon without a picture. Now, you have a folder without a name and an icon. Now, you know where to...

You have been getting it so wrong

-
The next time you pull up directly behind someone at a traffic light and you're behind the wheel, look at the guy's driver side side view mirror in front of you. Do you see his face in the mirror? Of course you do. If you don't, he probably knows how to set it correctly. Do it with the next guy and the next. You'll find most people don't. The problem is, people aim the side views on both sides until they see their own rear fender. WRONG. You need to see the lane along side your car. In fact, on a three lane highway from the center lane, you should be able to glance at your overhead rear view mirror and see the guy's car directly behind you. As he's passing you on the right (i know he's not supposed to), as he disappears from view from your center mirror, you should already be picking the nose of his car up on your passenger side view mirror with a visible overlap between the two mirrors. Same thing if he passes you correctly to your left. As he di...

Why we dont have Einsteins, Teslas, or Rutherfords in our generation

-
Image
To be honest,the examples I give : Nikola Tesla, Einstein, and Rutherford ,are not on the same playing field. Edison was a ‘Bill Gates,’ and opportunist pirate that would steal other’s ideas, or foil the companies that posed competition… so did Edison. When he came to telegrapher conventions the word was out: “Don’t talk ‘ideas’ to that guy… he will steal them. Einstein was a unique guy with the incredible ability to ‘focus’ on a problem and exclude all extraneous interference. He was a frequent commuter on a Boston train, one day he had lost his ticket. He fairly quickly told the Conductor of the issue. The conductor replied: Oh don’t worry Dr. Einstein, you need not provide a ticket for me.” Einstein’s response was “Well, you see I  need  that ticket, without it I’m not sure where to get off.” If a ‘genius’ employee is in a company, truly, it’s not in that companies interest to let that news out; he’s needed by the company. Also, there are THOUSANDS of genius all about ...

Inventions from COVID-19

-
Image
Necessity is the mother of invention. With the cases of coronavirus rising in Africa one of the many precautions everybody is advised to take to help curtail the spread of the virus is constant hand washing. It is saddening that there were no efficient hand washing buckets. Hand washing buckets which one needs to turn the taps on/off is not efficient because it also encourages the spread of the virus. Some many people have tried to solve this challenge by constructing foot controlled hand washing buckets. Here are some pictures ; Ghanaian man invents solar-powered hand sensitive barrel to help fight COVID-19 With the invention above you do not need to touch any knob to turn on the tap. There are some other smart inventions; These may appear primitive to some people in very developed countries but to some other counties these are smart inventions.

a WALL or a TV

-
Image
 Introducing ' the wall' by samsung. Television just got better.Typical flat-panel TVs are like big, rectangular quilts of pixels, locked into a consistent shape by manufacturing practices. Samsung built its Wall TV differently. The panels consist of clusters of individual MicroLEDs that tile together like puzzle pieces in whatever size and shape you want. An eight-foot TV in the shape of a Tetris piece? Your name spelled out in blocky text? You got it. The screens are rolling out to commercial customers like advertisers and retail stores, who want big, splashy displays. Since the sets will be out in the open, they're resistant to water, dust, and impact. This TV could cover an entire wall in a room there by presenting excellent entertainment experience.

Closer to the IRON MAN suit

-
Image
Jetpacks have come and gone over the years, usually stymied by short flight times and the sheer danger of strapping jet engines to the human body. With a design closer to Iron Man's suit than Flash Gordon's pack, Gravity Industries uses a trio of precisely controllable kerosene-powered microturbines—two of the breadloaf-sized engines on each hand and one on the back—to generate a stable "tripod" of thrust totaling 1,000 horsepower. The suit carries enough fuel to fly for up to 8 minutes. The body amour, weapon system, and on board A.I. of the actually suit is unrivaled in the actual world but this is a step closer to achieving feats of the fictional masterpeice.

Low Power RADAR

-
Image
There's a new hot cake in tracking systems. For such far-out drone missions as, say, autonomous cheeseburger delivery to become reality, we'll have to track the small, low-flying vehicles in the sky. Conventional radar coverage peters out if you dip much below 3,200 feet, which is where Raytheon's new Low Power Radar (also known as Skyler) comes in. The compact unit—less than one-meter-square—scans for objects using a radar system similar to those used in modern fighter jets. Networks of these devices set up on cell towers, buildings, and hills will be far cheaper than the large, moving radar dishes that now scan our airspace. At least no more of gigantic metal plates that span our country sides . Looks like a solid transition and we hope military around world buy into it.

Journey to the Red Planet: Dream or Reality

-
Image
      Mars, (commonly known as the red planet), is the most probable planet after earth to sustain life. However, there are a lot of challenges we need to overcome in order to make a trip to this planet. Here are a few of them.      Considering discoveries made so far, the planet is known to contain water. The water is however in the form of ice as the atmospheric pressure of mars is less than 1% of ours here on earth. The amount of water on mars (as ice and hydroxyl ions) if converted, could cover the entire planet's surface to a depth of about 600 meters.      The atmosphere of Mars consists of about 96% carbon dioxide, 1.93% argon and 1.89% nitrogen along with traces of oxygen and water. The atmosphere is quite dusty, containing particulates about 1.5 µm in diameter which give the Martian sky a tawny color when seen from the surface. This is obviously not the kind of air we are used to inhaling, besides only a limited ...

     Coca cola Singapore has created a limited edition 'star wars' bottle to coincide with the release of the movie 'STAR WARS: Rise of the skywalker.      The bottles use OLED technology to light up the light sabers when touched.

          Harbour Air, North America’s largest seaplane airline, and MagniX, the company powering the electric aviation revolution, have successfully completed the flight of the world’s first all-electric commercial air plane. the flight, which took place on the Fraser river at harbour air seaplanes terminal in Richmond, Canada, covered 16 kilometres in 4 minutes, marking the start of the third era in aviation — the electric age.            Remarking on the tech innovation,  Ganzarski Roei, CEO of MagniX made a few remarks; ‘ in December 1903, the wright brothers launched a new era of transportation—the aviation age—with the first flight of a powered aircraft. today, 116 years later, with the first flight of an all-electric powered commercial aircraft, we launched the electric era of aviation . The transportation industry and specifically the aviation segment that has been, for the most part, stagnant since...
