Bust lock-down: Now a bra that unhooks only if true love is detected

According to Japanese lingerie manufacturer Ravijour, women are mostly clueless when they’re confronted with true love and who they should take their tops off for. So the company came up with an innovation for these baffled ladies — a bra with a front clasp that only unhooks when “true love” is detected. Yeah… you heard it right! Kill me now! Here’s how the technology works: The bra comprises of built-in sensors that measures the wearer’s heart-rate and other vitals. The data is continually transmitted via Bluetooth to a special app on her phone.

The app then processes this data using a special app and measures the heart rate elevation using special algorithms and predetermined data. The software then calculates what the designers call the “true love rate”.

And it is only when the wearer’s heart has truly found their prince Charming would it beat in a way that the app would recognize and automatically unhook the brassiere.

Bra automatically unhooks on detecting true love

The engineers at Ravijour say – “It is only when a woman falls in true love does she get excited enough for the Adrenal Medulla to secrete Catecholamine which affects the autonomic nerve and magnifies the heart rate which is distinguished by the sensor and processed by a specially developed iOS app”. So ladies may not worry as not any randomness in heart rates will unclasp the bra. A promotional video brags the bra could help save women from “the animal”, “the technician” and “the flashy guy”.

And since the product comes not from China but from Japan, we think it’s okay to assume this is a safe and “real” product.

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.
