Now Google Glass Sex App to help you make love better

With Google Glass expected to come to market later this year, some very interesting apps too are in the development pipeline, one of which promises to boost your sex life! ‘Sex with Glass’ or just ‘Glance’ is an app being developed to allow partners having sex to see themselves from their partner’s point of view.

The app being developed by students based out of London, offers couples the chance to “see everything, from every angle” while making love, using a pair of linked-up headsets. The Glance app films a video of the tryst, so you can watch it later when all is said and done.

To get started, just say, “OK Glass, it’s time,” and the app will begin streaming what your partner sees in front of your own eyes. If you feel like stopping everything, just say, “OK Glass, pull out”. The app then puts the footage together and shows a video of the “whole thing”, but the video will be deleted after five hours unless you save it.

To make use of the app, both partners indulging will need to wear Google Glass during the act. The voyeur app lets you see two different perspectives seamlessly- that of you and your partner’s. It changes the way you experience something intimate, claims the developers’ website. The project was conceptualized at a Wearable Tech Hackathon.

The app has gained huge traction even before its release!

Nokia embraces Android – Leaked Photos, Specs of Nokia Normandy

Gone September, when Microsoft began the process of acquiring Nokia- the erstwhile mobile giant, grapevine was that once the deal goes through, work on the first android phone by the Finnish multinational, will be put in cold storage. However, all Nokia fans who always wanted to see an android mobile phone from Nokia have a reason to rejoice now.

According to latest reports and some UI images leaked on Twitter by the notorious but mostly accurate tipster @evleaks, it’s confirmed now that Nokia Normandy- Nokia’s first Android application is live and ongoing.

The design of the Android UI seems inspired from the Windows Phone interface. According to well placed sources, the call dialer is very similar to what Windows Phone users are currently using. Apparently Skype is included by default, a definite sign that Nokia will be utilizing non-Google services or at least embedding Microsoft backed apps as defaults.

The leaked screenshots from an AnTuTu benchmark and the phone’s About settings menu, the Android device from the house of Nokia runs the latestAndroid 4.4.1 KitKat OS, features a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a 5MP rear camera, and has dual SIM card slots. The handset, codenamed A110, has a display resolution of 854×480. A NokiaPowerUser review further maintains that the phone will sport a 4-inch display and will have another variant codenamed RM-980.

What do you say, are you gonna love it?

RIP Facebook – could be your FB status in 2017

Facebook Is Dying

Have you lately felt that Facebook isn’t anymore as exciting as it used to be? But still it gives you kicks to check your timeline every few minutes! Does it seem like a viral disease that has infected your senses! Well you may be right.

A new research by authors at Princeton’s Aerospace Engineering School has equated Facebook to a plague. The report adds that the world’s most visited website has spread like an infectious disease but people are gradually developing immunity to its seduction. The study says that the social network will lose about 1 billion users in 3 years and will meet a fate same as that of MySpace. “Facebook will see a rapid decline in the coming years, losing 80% of its peak user base between 2015 -2017,”  predicts the study, an “Epidemiological Modeling of Online Social Networks.”

The researchers, Cannarella and Spechler employed what is known as the SIR (susceptible, infected, recovered) model of disease, which generates equations to map the spread and recovery of epidemics. The study has also utilized Google Trends data about MySpace—the website that was founded in 2003 and reached its peak in 2007 with 300 million registered users, before falling out of use by 2011—the Princeton study records similarities to how Facebook is on a similar path to being a thing-of-the-past.

But investors seem least baffled about the report; they don’t seem to be heading for the exit for now. The largest social network’s share price reached record highs this month, valuing the company at $142bn. Looks like Mark Zuckerberg has not many reasons to worry just yet.

The report comes just days ahead of Facebook’s 10th birthday on Feb 4 2014.

Google opens your Gmail inboxes to strangers- Here’s how to opt out!

In a move that may stir another privacy row, Google plans to bolster its failed  social network Google+ by letting strangers contact you without them needing to know your email address. The new privacy concern lets anyone with a Google+ account send emails to Gmail users, and vice versa.

This is how, Gmail product manager David Nachum, in a blog post, described the new feature.

“Have you ever started typing an email to someone only to realize halfway through the draft that you haven’t actually exchanged email addresses? If you are nodding your head ‘yes’ and already have a Google+ profile, then you’re in luck.”

Well, that sounds significantly useful if you are the sender— but rather invasive if you are on the receiving end!

Here’s what it looks like.

How to opt out

Well, the good news is you are still in control. You control whether unknown people can reach you this way with a new setting in Gmail.

Emailing Google+ connections also takes advantage of Gmail’s new inbox categories. When someone in your circles emails you, the email will land in the Primary category of your inbox. But if they are not in your circles, it will be filtered into the Social category (yet another reason to enable the categories, if you haven’t already). Further, if you don’t reply or add them to your circles, they won’t be able to continue spamming you.

You will start seeing this feature over the next couple of days. You’ll get an email with information and a link to the setting when the feature is made  available for your account.

Having said all that, it would make more sense if Google had made it into an “opt-in” feature rather than an “opt-out” one. But then the internet giant loves to keep those privacy advocates in business!
