Mark Zuckerberg created his personal AI “Jarvis” using various AI techniques and programming languages. Jarvis can control home appliances, play music and can even entertain Max. Mark Zuckerberg Unveils His Very Own “Jarvis” AI Assistant Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg is now the proud owner of Jarvis. Let me tell you it’s not exactly same as the AI system Tony Stark used to control his home and Iron Man suit, but it is Zuckerberg’s version of it. Earlier this year, Mark Zuckerberg announced that he had some good plans to build an Artificial intelligence system that will be running in his home. You can say it was one of the new year resolutions for Mark Zuckerberg.   So, now Mark Zuckerberg  unveiled  his AI Jarvis which can talk to his phone and computer and it can control his home’s lights, temperature, music, appliances and security systems too. Over the time, Jarvis can learn new words and concepts too. Now Jarvis also entertains his daughte...

Everyone is snapping selfies to remember where they were or asking a stranger to take a family picture to add to the album they will make of their trip, usually all with their mobile devices. Today we are here to show you how to use Google’s Photos app to automatically backup and edit an  unlimited  amount of pictures and videos. Prerequisites: There are a couple or requirements before we can begin backing up your photos. You must have a Google account linked to you mobile device.

The search for the perfect PC is still ensuing, but no clear winner has been crowned. Apple and Microsoft introduced their next attempt to grasp the crown, and their efforts look like worthy choices, but we won’t know what they can do until we get our hands on those products. Deep in the weeds is Lenovo, which is one of the top PC-makers and has the liberty of embarking on this race with radical ideas, and its latest ultra-thin laptop might be the craziest idea yet. The  Lenovo Yoga  Book offers a thinner design than any of Apple’s laptops, including the MacBook which is just 1.31 cm thick. The  Yoga Book  is .96 cm thick and can run Android or Windows 10. The only catch is that you need to buy the model that supports each software, you can’t use both on the same laptop. Lenovo equipped the Yoga Book with an Intel Atom x5-Z8550 processor,  Full HD display , 4GB of RAM, 64GB of onboard sto...

So it turns out that images of Apple's new MacBook Pro, set to be unveiled on Thursday, are actually hiding inside the latest macOS Sierra update. They confirm that Jony Ive and Apple's designers have added a touch bar to the company's top-of-the-line laptop. To make room for that, Apple completely got rid   of the function keys that've been at the top of Mac keyboards for years. Physical esc key? Gone. Same for the brightness buttons and volume controls. They're history. Apple wisely seems to have combined the power button and Touch ID sensor, though it's not yet clear whether this button is actually mechanical. Now it's  probably  fair to assume that many of these settings — at least the more popular ones — will appear on the touch bar by default. I can't remember the last time I actually pressed esc, though I do feel for programmers and engineers. View image on Twitter For me, I'd hope that when I...

Seems like Samsung is not conceding defeat anytime soon. Even after facing flak from all over the planet for battery-related issues (read explosions) on the Note 7 series of smartphones, the South Korean giant has decided to continue with its 'Note' line up. According to a post on the company's official website, Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge users would be eligible to receive up to 50% off on the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8, to be released next year. The offer will be available as a part of the 'Galaxy Upgrade Programme'. Further details on the Galaxy Note 8 or Galaxy S8 were however not mentioned. Also, the list of countries to which the programme is being extended is unclear as well. Although Samsung has not mentioned anything about the Note 8, rumoured key features on the latter include the next-gen super AMOLED display, fast charging, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 83x processor, 6GB RAM, and 4,000mAH battery. As per market analysts and reports, in the...

Google is jumping headfirst into the smartphone market  with its new Pixel devices , both of which were announced in San Francisco earlier today. On the surface, they don’t look particularly groundbreaking—it’s fair to say they look like nearly every other smartphone on the market. But Google is making a huge bet on AI with Assistant and the Pixel will be the first  phone with the software built in. Is Google’s AI enough of a draw to sell an entire ecosystem over, say, an iPhone 7? That remains to be seen; Google certainly thinks so. At Google’s event, we went hands-on with the Google Pixel, a device that will be the face of the search giant over the next 12 months. As we said, the design doesn’t really  stand out as anything spectacular, although Google made sure to emphasize that the 12.3-megapixel camera is the best on the market—at least according to a DxOMark rating. We’ll put that to the test when we have the opportunity to spend more time with the devi...

Google Assistant Google Assistant is coming to several of Google’s new products. It’s built into the company’s new chat app, Allo, and powers the upcoming Google Home smart speaker. But the Pixel and Pixel XL put Assistant in your pocket and make it available at a moment’s notice. Just hold down the home button or say “OK Google” to launch the AI assistant and start giving commands. Google Assistant can answer questions, check the weather or play a video. Assistant can even understand follow-up questions so you can carry out a more natural conversation, similar to what Siri offers. It also replaces the company’s old “Now on Tap” feature, bringing up relevant information on whatever you’re currently looking at as soon as it’s activated. Powerful Cameras The Pixel and Pixel XL both feature a 12.3-megapixel rear camera that scored an impressive 89 from DxOMark Mobile, making them the top-scoring mobile devices around. Google also included a “Smartburst” mode, wh...

Facebook now officially supports end-to-end encryption for all of its 1 billion users. The company employs technology from Open Whisper Systems, which also enables the end-to-end encryption for WhatsApp. Facebook hasn’t made a public announcement, but Wired said sources inside the company have confirmed the additional security measure is available for everyone. You really should be using end-to-end encryption for all chats, since it essentially blocks anyone from snooping in on your conversation. In fact, it’s a bit bizarre that Facebook didn’t just enable this by default, as it does with WhatsApp and as Apple does with iMessage. Wired said the “Secret”options such as stickers will continue to work with the function enabled but I suspect other functions, such as bots, won’t. Be sure to tap the “Secret” button in your chat to keep your conversation private. And leave it on.

Apple’s rumored AirPods are finally official. With the headphone jack going away, Apple said it was taking on the challenge to create headphones that are truly meant for the wireless world. They essentially look like Apple’s existing EarPods without the cables, which is to say they look… weird. When worn, they look more like those wireless earpieces lawyers might use to talk on the  phone . Now, you can wear two at once! The AirPods come equipped with a new Apple W1 chip that handles audio and wireless connections, with infrared sensors that detect when they’re in your ear. They also sport motion accelerometers to detect touch to activate Siri. Apple said they are capable of getting 5 hours of battery life, which is pretty astounding for how small these are. Speaking of size, how quickly until you lose a pair of AirPods? In order to set them up, Apple said you simply open the AirPod case and it’ll pair with your phone . That’s it. The same setup process goes for...

It’s been a constant source of speculation but we finally have concrete details on the Apple Watch 2 . Apple’s new wearable appears to be the wearable fans have wanted all along and looks to maintain the Apple Watch’s lead as the most popular smartwatch on the market. Called the Apple Watch Series 2, the new wearable is water-resistant up to 50 meters, making it a great tool for swimmers. Apple said making it water-resistant was a huge challenge, especially because there are so many ports. The company said it redesigned the speaker on the new Watch so that the mechanism actually pushes water out. Neat. Inside, Apple equipped the Series 2 with a dual-core processor that’s up to 50 percent faster, and a new GPU for faster graphics. That will ensure apps perform much faster; Apple said an app like Night Sky can run at 60fps. Elsewhere, the display is much brighter at 1,000 nits, making it easier to see outside in bright sunlight. That was one of the biggest hurdles f...

Apple just revealed the  iPhone  7 Plus on Twitter, confirming the phone’s dual rear cameras and optical zoom. The company hasn’t officially announced any new smartphones yet, but it appears to be accidentally sharing key details using a Twitter account that was dormant until today. Apple says the  iPhone  7 Plus offers a pair of new cameras in back for “high-res optical zoom at 2x.” The company also accidentally confirmed that the iPhone 7 will feature a water-resistant design, but hasn’t revealed the exact IP rating. Another tweet revealed that the new phones will be available on September 16. Apple still hasn’t announced many key details, including price and the rest of the internal hardware. That information should be coming soon, though, so stay tuned.  Apple has since confirmed the  iPhone  7 Plus and iPhone 7 on stage. The  iPhone 7 Plus really does offer a dual rear camera setup, which is limited to t...

Huawei  announced two new mid-tier smartphones during IFA 2016 in Berlin, including theHuawei Nova and the  Huawei  Nova Plus. The phones are relatively similar, and the target audience seems to be teens who need good battery life and who care a lot about selfies. Indeed, Huawei brought a fashion blogger on stage during its event to discuss selfie-snapping pictures. The  Huawei  Nova and Nova Plus are similar in design, both sporting 2.5D glass, 360-degree diamond cut bevels, 1.8mm narrow bezels and  Snapdragon 625  processors clocked at 2GHz. Both feature a fingerprint reader, which Huawei says is one of the most accurate ever. Other features include dual SIM support and microSD card slots. The  Nova Plus  features a 5.5-inch 1080p display while the Nova sports a 5-inch screen.  The Nova offers up to 48 hours of battery life, while the  Nova Plus , wit...
