Motorola 360

By -







Motorola is the latest to jump onto the wearable bandwagon with the launch of its first smartwatch, the Moto 360.







The Moto 360 smartwatch will run Google's Android Wear, a software project that extends Android to wearables. 
LG has also announced its G Watch, which is also powered by Android Wear.




The Android Wear project is open to software makers to create apps for the watches, putting Google at the forefront of efforts to jumpstart the nascent wearable computing market.

Moto 360 smartwatch features includes the "OK Google" feature that allows users to just say the command (Ok Google) and do a voice search, send a text, get directions or even play a song.
It even shows subtle alerts and notifications to users, when required. Further, the Moto 360 also shows who's emailing or even calling, without taking out the connected smartphone from your pocket.


 You can take a clear look at the watch features from the video below

The Russians Didn't Just Use Pencils in Space

IMAGE CREDIT:  GETTY IMAGES A longstanding urban legend goes like this: During the space race of the 1960s, NASA spent millions developing a fancy "space pen" that could be used in zero gravity ... but the Soviets just used a pencil. This story resonates with us because NASA did actually spend piles of money on writing utensils in space—in 1965 they paid $128 per mechanical pencil, according to NASA historians (for the record, the pencils had high-strength outer casings, but the writing guts were just regular mechanical pencils). It just seems logical that the thrifty Soviets would use a simpler, smarter solution. But the story about the government-funded space pen and Soviets using pencils instead is just plain wrong—both space programs used the Fisher Space Pen, and neither paid anything to develop it. Let's dig into the real history here. WHY DON'T REGULAR BALLPOINT PENS WORK IN SPACE? The traditional ballpoint pen relies partially on gravi...
