Google's Android TV now has tens of millions of users and could soon have even more Android TV, which is the search giant’s set-top box and smart TV platform, is currently used by more than tens of millions of consumers, according to the company. This is different from Google's Chromecast streaming device, which simply allows users to cast media from their smartphone to their TV set. Android TV is a full-fledged operating system that allows users to download apps and use other Google-powered services on their televisions. The made-for-TV operating system is being utilized by more than 100 global pay TV operators, according to Google’s senior director of project management for Android TV, Shalini Govil-Pai. Speaking to Multichannel News, he said that half of Android TV users are streaming on devices made by companies that partner with Google.   While a majority of Android TV’s users are located in Europe and Asia, that may soon change. DirecTV is preparing to launch a ne...

VLSI technology plays a very important role in digital devices and electronics field. We hope India will be able to achieve this as soon as possible and realize its dream of Make in India and Digital India. The whole domain of computing ushered into a new dawn of electronic miniaturization with the advent of semiconductor transistor by Bardeen (1947-48) and then the bipolar transistor by Shockley (1949) in the Bell Laboratory. Since the invention of the first IC (integrated circuit) in the form of a flip-flop by Jack Kilby in 1958, our ability to pack more and more transistors onto a single chip has doubled roughly every 18 months, in accordance with Moore's law. Such exponential development had never been seen in any other field and it still continues to be a major area of research work. History and Evolution The development of microelectronics spans a time, which is even lesser than the average life expectancy of a human, and yet it has seen as many as four gen...

TheTechBlogWorld: Microsoft   has announced a new Xbox All Access plan, which includes Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. It also offers consumers Xbox One hardware at a discounted monthly fee. This will help consumers finance an Xbox console while at the same time paying less than they would buying the hardware and services separately. The new Xbox All Access plan is only applicable for a limited time (from August 27 to December 31) only for consumers based out of US. Microsoft in a blog post stated. Consumers can take benefit of the offer by visiting a Microsoft Store while the stocks last. Microsoft has added two tiers to Xbox All Access – $21.99 (or approx Rs 1,540) for the Xbox One S and $34.99 (or approx Rs 2,500). Additionally, there is no upfront payment that consumers will have to pay for availing the offer. Consumers after 24 months of payments will be eligible to keep the Xbox One hardware which they were paying for. Cons...

Laser breakthrough has physicists close to cooling down antimatter For the first time, physicists at CERN have observed a benchmark atomic energy transition in anithydrogen, a major step toward cooling and manipulating the basic form of antimatter. "The Lyman-alpha transition is the most basic, important transition in regular hydrogen atoms, and to capture the same phenomenon in antihydrogen opens up a new abad in antimatter science," said Takamasa Momose, the University of British Columbia chemist and physicist who led the development of the laser system used to manipulate the anithydrogen. "This approach is a gateway to cooling down antihydrogen, which will greatly improve the precision of our measurements and allow us test how antimatter and gravity interact, which is still a mystery." The results were published today in  Nature . Antimatter, annihilated on impact with matter, is notoriously tricky to capture and work with. But its study is key...

TheTechBlogWorld: Use of smartphones for patient care and disease management has led to some very exciting and useful medical innovations In May 2016 India tabled an ambitious mHealth (Mobile Health) resolution at World Health Organization (WHO), which was supported by over 30 nations. This put India at the forefront of transition towards digital health. Setting up of National Digital Health Authority was another milestone that would help to achieve the stated goal. The mHealth movement has come as a boon for patients confined to their hospital beds, where their heartbeat is continuously monitored via devices attached to them and displayed with beep sounds. Image this entire burdensome setup converted into a tiny, lightweight temporary body tattoo. The supposed tattoo has an embedded radio transmitter that would monitor and send the patient’s vital information to the doctor faster. This developing field, called mHealth, uses mobile technologies for medical purposes. Use of ...
