This Wristband From MIT Could Replace Heat/Air Conditioning

Here in the world, we spend a ton of money every year to heat and cool our homes. During the summer, our electric bills are off the charts due to using the air conditioner, whereas in the cooler months, they’re higher (unless you have gas heating) because of turning up the furnace. We constantly spend an awful lot of money just to feel comfortable in our homes out of the elements. And I have absolutely no problem with feeling comfortable in my home, but many are asking the question if it’s being “green” enough in this day and age.

How to Use Your Android Device as a Webcam

If you have an Android device, you already know all the things you can do with it. You can root it, flash custom recoveries and custom ROMs, and do all sorts of tasks you’ve always wanted to do on a smartphone. One of these things could be to use your Android device as a webcam. Yes, you heard it right. You no longer need a separate webcam for your computer, as your Android device can act as a webcam for you. You can then use it for any purpose, including video chats, capturing photos, etc.

In order to make your Android device work as a webcam, you will need an app called IP webcam. As the name suggests, the app lets you access the camera of your device using the IP protocol from your computer. You don’t need any accessories to get the task done. All you need to have is a computer with a web browser, an Android device, and both of these should be connected to the same WiFi network.

iOS 8 Won’t Make You Type Your Credit Card Info

  Well, it’s almost the beginning of summertime, which means that there are rumors-a-plenty about a new iPhone and a new iOS. While Apple has been staying pretty mum about the official details of the iPhone 6, they have let slip some information about iOS 8, and what they’ve let out of the bag sounds pretty good so far, and will hopefully make the iPhone even more user friendly. I’ve heard about lots of the features, such as an updated Siri, better maps, some kind of health app, a separate iTunes radio app, and various others, but one of the new features I’m most excited about has to do with the camera and your credit card.

How to Compile Linux Programs Under Windows with Cygwin

Windows and Linux are two very different systems, and as such, it often isn’t easy to port programs written for one to the other, especially when dealing with GUI programs. Although there are many different cross-platform libraries and SDKs, native programs written without portability in mind are quite hard to port.

When it comes to compiling and running programs written for Linux on Windows, there is a solution known as Cygwin. The Cygwin project is a collection of the most common tools and compilers (including the bash shell and the GNU compiler chain) for Windows. It also includes a library that provides a compatibility layer so that programs which call Linux specific APIs can be compiled. Cygwin isn’t an emulator or virtual machine, and it doesn’t allow Linux binaries to run on Windows without first being re-compiled.

Battery of The Future: What’s In The Works?

For years, the most viable rechargeable battery technology in use for portable devices has been based on a lithium-ion (li-ion) positive electrode. For most hand-held devices, lithium cobalt oxide has been the go-to product. Mobile technology has been exploding at an impressive rate, but all in all, its innovation is being dragged down by the little chemical boxes we use to power these monster devices. Despite efforts to make them more energy-efficient, smartphones are becoming more problematic in terms of battery use. The question is: What are we going to do about it, and how can we create a new battery that will power these devices for as many days as the faithful Nokia 3310?
