Tata Sky announces launch of Tata Sky HD STB , to cost Rs. 2599
Close on the football world cup launch made by Dish TV HD, Tata Sky has announced the launch of its own HD service called Tata Sky HD. It will be available to new and existing subscribers at the same cost of Rs.2599. The HD channels will be available under a new HD gold pack which will hit people with another Rs.30 per month charge.
Worth noting here is that they don’t have ESPN HD , Tata Sky has been involved in a lot of problems with ESPN Star Sports in the past, could be a reason why ESPN is giving its HD feed exclusively to Dish TV. the only HD channels announced are Nat Geo HD and Discovery HD.
Existing subscribers will get 1 year of the HD gold pack free. The dish antenna will remain the same and the only things you will need to change are the hdmi cables and STB.

Nokia 3310 arrival in United States trumped by carriers
Nokia 3310 is the talking point in the last week after HMD Global announced the return of the legend. Well, it’s not really a legend since it’s quite the different device than what the original 3310 was back in its day and is not really a return since it won’t get to the United States right away. The reason - carriers over there do not support the 900 MHz GSM band.
Nokia 3310 (2017) is a simple phone many would love to give to their grandparents or kids since it is practically indestructible. American children and old folks would have to wait for the 2G phone because it does not support the otherwise widely-used 900 MHz connectivity band. HMD Global, owner of Nokia smartphones, and carriers are still negotiating about using the alternative 850 MHz and the 1900 MHz bands. Patrick Mercanton, head of marketing at HMD, said, quoted by CNet:
It’s not that we’re not launching in the US. It takes a little longer to ramp up.
The United States is a market where most of the phones, smart or not, are sold through carriers and a lot fewer handsets are bought through Amazon, BestBuy or the companies’ stores.
The 900 MHz band issue also relates to all the other Nokias we’ve seen at MWC - Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6, all of which we checked out at MWC in Barcelona.
Nokia wants to launch the devices globally in Q2 2017. Let’s hope it will manage to sort out the issue or the comeback won’t be as flashy as expected.

Sheth Group - Uncompromising Livinghood
Spacious buildings and the massive open spaces were the reasons for me to go for Sheth. While many companies talk about it, Sheth Group actually offered the same. I am not from Mumbai. So space was something I could not compromise on while buying property in the city and I found my answer in Sheth.

India's CERT-In issues 'hacker advisory' for ATMs
With the usage of micro-ATMs and POS counters witnessing a sharp surge post demonetisation, the country's premier cybersecurity agency CERT-In has cautioned customers, bankers and traders against skimming and malware attacks on these systems and asked them to adopt high-end encryption to plug possible breaches.
The CERT-In, nodal agency to combat hacking, phishing attacks and to fortify security-related defences of the Indian internet domain, has issued two specific advisories for micro-Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) and Point of Sale (POS) terminals.
The advisory states that as micro-ATMs work with minimal power and connect to central banking servers through a GPRS network, their security features need to be strong and updated to check attempts by hackers who stealthily plan to steal private customer and bank data which leads to loss of their hard earned money by way of hacking or electronic stealing.
"Traditionally, data input into the POS system is in memory in clear text which allows attackers, memory scrapers to be very successful.

Hackers Turn Tesla Into a Brain-Controlled Car


A Tesla Model S

"Oh it's turning. Brake! Alright, we're scared but we're good."
The Tesla Model S had only gone a few feet, rolling mostly straight from one empty spot in the parking garage to another. The driver wasn't actually behind the wheel, though. He sat in the passenger's seat, donning an EEG headset that allowed him to control the vehicle with his mind. Meet Teslapathic.
This feat is the brainchild of California-based technologists Casey Spencer, Lorenzo Caoile, Vivek Vinodh and Abenezer Mamo. Their team used Spencer's 2015 Tesla Model S 85D for the hack, and their project placed third at the Cal Hacks event for university students this month.

The team only had 36 hours to make Teslapathic happen for the hackathon. In their setup, an EEG headset translates the brain activity for "stop" or "go" into analog signals broadcast by an off-the-shelf RC radio and articulated actuators on the pedals and a motor on the steering wheel, according to the team's description.
A machine learning training program turned the brain activity into specific commands. For "go," Spencer thought about tapping his right foot, and for "stop," he thought about clenching his left hand. The analog signal for "go" caused a linear actuator affixed to the brake pedal to recede, and the actuator on the gas pedal to engage. For "stop," it was the opposite.
Steering was slightly clunkier, and not brain-controlled. They installed a windshield wiper motor fitted with a potentiometer on the steering wheel. A head-mounted gyro for the driver provided some steering so when the Spencer turned his head right or left, the steering wheel responded.
For safety, the code included an emergency brake in case of failure, the user had to hold a dead-man's switch in order to broadcast a signal, and a block wedged behind the accelerator prevented the Tesla from going too fast. And, at worst, the passenger could kick the actuators away from the pedals.
Granted, once it went, the Tesla wasn't quite between the lines and probably would have dinged the neighboring sedan if Spencer didn't think hard enough about stopping. But those few feet represent an incredible surge into the future.
A year ago, Spencer created a brain-controlled golf cart (video) dubbed the "Cranium Cart" for Cal Hacks. Potentially wrecking a golf cart isn't the same as risking a $85,000 Tesla, but Spencer clearly isn't afraid to put his car to the test. He is upfront about participating in Tesla's referral program, too, which probably helps.
In September 2015, he became the first person to break the 500-mile limit by going 550.3 miles on a single charge (video) going about 21 mph across two states with no stops. Earlier this year he pitted the Tesla against a 2015 BMW M4 (video).
"I especially love going the extra mile," Spencer wrote on his YouTube channel. "Mostly because it doesn't cost anything."
