Previously you could only write each other letters, over the phone, you You hear each other and with Skype you can now see each other. But another touching distance could not. There, researcher, Gijs Huisman of the University of Twente found a solution: a sleeve with “vibrate” so that feels like being caressed

The invention is aptly called the TaSST (Tactile Sleeve for Social Touch). The prototype from 2012 is significantly doctored. ,, The current version is flatter and the foam that has been processed into it makes it possible to regulate the intensity of the contact precisely, ” said Huisman.

The basis for the research is that touch is very important for people. How important, which is still being investigated. Previous research has clearly shown that touch is essential for the development of babies.

Vibration
For a touch abp=”1326″ two sleeves are needed. In the sleeves are incorporated vibrating motors, including motors for vibration function of your mobile phone, says Huisman. ,, If you touch one sleeve, the vibrations from the motors simulate contact with the person wearing the other sleeve. “” It may take a while before the touch is felt. ,, There’s quite a delay, because the signal passes through the Internet, ” the candidate.

confesses

When combined with a Skype call to the invention works best. ,, What you see, what you feel strengthened, ” said Huisman. The contact according to the researcher is an important step for the feeling of presence (proximity).

Future
abp=”1335″ In five years, hopes Huisman course to be promoted. ,, Then I hope we have further improved the technology, ” looks forward Huisman. He thinks the TaSST technique smaller, prettier and washable can be made. ,, Who knows the technique will get on your shirt or jeans, ” said the candidate. ,, But we have yet to examine whether people would like to. ”

Mozilla is angry about the choice of Microsoft for the Microsoft Browser ‘Edge’ introduced in this week Windows 10 operating system to set the default browser. Reported Mozilla Director Chris Beard in an open letter to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.

Edge after the new Internet Explorer browser from Microsoft. Consumers who install Windows 10, Edge automatically get installed as the default browser. Even if they had previously set a different browser such as Chrome (Google) or Firefox (Mozilla). Beard:

“The update seems designed to the choices made by your consumers on the Internet experience they want to throw away and replace it for the Internet experience that Microsoft wants that they have. “

Beard writes that he has been in contact before with Microsoft on the issue. Because a response from the software company was forthcoming, he now focuses on Nadella in an open letter. To Chrome or Firefox again set as the default browser, consumers should take a number of steps, which are not obvious according to Mozilla for little tech savvy consumers.

The choice of Microsoft to Edge as the default browser security is notable because the company in March 2013 was fined 561 million euros, because European consumers are not Free choice has an Internet browser. Fifteen million consumers had no choice screen got to see where consumers beside Explorer also can opt for competitors such as Firefox and Chrome.M icrosoft had agreed with the European Commission that Windows 7 users would have a choice screen with other competing browsers.

Since 2009, the European Commission allowed Microsoft Windows no longer just offer their own browser. So wanted Brussels to prevent the software giant abused its dominant market position

Northern Lights is also found outside solar system – NU.nl

The auroras were observed in the atmospheres of several “failed stars” known as brown dwarfs.

The results were Thursday presented in Nature by an international team of scientists .

“This is the first time that auroras are seen on brown dwarfs,” says lead author Professor Greg Hallinan of the California Institute of Technology.

According to the scientists, the discovery is a sign that brown dwarfs are more like planets than previously thought.

Brown dwarfs are not massive enough to reach the core temperatures and pressures necessary for nuclear fusion, the process that causes stars like our sun light and radiate heat.

This means that a brown dwarf is a cross between a small star, a red dwarf and a giant gas planet like Jupiter.

Northern Light

Polar Lights often occur around the high latitudes on Earth and are called Northern Lights. On all planets with magnetic fields come auroras for.

The phenomenon is caused when charged particles in the solar wind interact with the magnetosphere of a planet.

The particles flutter down along the magnetic field lines, and collide with atoms in the atmosphere, with a spectacular (optical) light show as a result. The phenomenon also emits radio waves.

The scientists sensed the optical and radio signals at a rapidly rotating brown dwarf called LSR J1835, which is located about 18 light years from our planet is in the Lyran system.

“When radio waves from the brown dwarf saw come, we speculated that the object had aurora,” Hallinan said.

Later found similar signals at smaller and cooler brown dwarfs. Hallinan: “That tells us that brown dwarfs behave more like massive planets, a kind of giant Jupiters, then like little stars.”

Red light

The aurora on the brown dwarf is predominantly red in color, because the charged particles in the atmosphere, especially react with hydrogen molecules in the atmosphere. On Earth they mostly react with oxygen molecules, resulting in a green color.

How the auroras on the brown dwarfs occurs is still unclear. The failed stars are not close to a star like our sun, which they can bombard with charged particles.

According to astronomers, it is possible that the dwarf himself those particles, electrons, produced by material from the planet’s surface is stripped . Another theory is that an undiscovered planet or moon around the dwarf who hurls matter in space.

The aurora in the star is thousands of times as strong as that of Jupiter, and is on turn a thousand times as strong as the auroras on Earth

NASA does it again. Now with effervescent tablets into space on a beat – nrc.nl

Close-ups of Pluto, the discovery of a new Earth-like ‘exo-planet. And now, an internet hit on an effervescent tablet into the space. NASA knows to draw attention in the past weeks. Therefore, there is hardly a day goes by that published by the American space agency, not a press release.

On July 16th we received through the New Horizons mission of NASA for the first time, a bit of an idea of ​​how dwarf planet Pluto and two of its moons look like: upper plains towering icebergs of up to 3,500 meters high from

.
A week later it was announced that 1,400 light-years from here, astronomers had detected a planet that resembled the earth’s distance from a sun-like star is similar to the distance Earth-Sun. Planet, “Kepler 452b ‘was discovered by the NASA satellite Kepler.

Yesterday a video was put online about something much less spectacular: an effervescent tablet. But the images speak to the imagination. And that beat underneath makes the experience extra entertaining. Astronaut Terry Virts from the International Space Station allowed to dissolve an effervescent tablet into a floating water globe. What happens then is almost art. This is also thanks to the high resolution camera, which NASA uses to make space projects more than ever on screen. This also should help advance knowledge.

Windows 10: why you (do not) need to upgrade – De Morgen

A bit worrying perhaps: days before launch were still critical flaws of the system. But today it is so far: Microsoft launches its long-awaited Windows 10. You will get a better start and at best, it costs you nothing. Six questions.

1. What Microsoft wants to achieve Windows 10?

Share

Microsoft wants to be big mistakes of Windows 8 undo, and that seems to succeed this time too

Windows 10 is the major software launch of Microsoft for years . It’s actually a great reworking of Windows 8, the previous operating system with its radical new design a lot of users repelled.

It is significant that the company but suddenly made the decision to skip his ninth version and go straight to Windows 10. Microsoft wants its big mistakes undo the last time, and it also seems to succeed this time.

Microsoft colorful tile structure maintaining its previous operating system, but the whole neatly filed down. It’s easier to operate the system with a desktop computer. relief over version 8, which seemed almost exclusively focused on touch control and was very confusing for those who had a mouse in hand.

2. Why should I upgrade? What’s new?

The Start menu is back with a vengeance. You can raise, it instantly gives you access to apps and commonly used functions as the control panel and it is fully customizable. It shows large and small tiles of frequently used apps in the private sector or the environment. Microsoft uses this if one of the key points to sell his new system. It is sold as “the best of Windows 7 and 8″.

Internet Explorer is in a deep hole below the ground. Windows 10 will receive the new Internet browser Microsoft Edge included. According to the company, it is a quick way to surf around on the internet and put the web at your hand. Convenient: you can write or annotate screenshots you make Web pages and share it with others.

As the same apps in Apple universal well turn on iPhone and iPad, Windows does the same with modern Windows apps . They not only work on desktop, but also on tablets and smartphones that run Windows 10.

Via Windows Hello log no longer in with a password, but with a fingerprint, eye or face. Manufacturers must adapt or their equipment for that.

There is the intelligent voice assistant Cortana , a counterpart to Apple’s personal voice assistant Siri. But while the latter after a Dutch now also comes with a Flemish version, Cortana is still (long?) Is not available in Belgium. Microsoft claims to also say “no view of the availability” in our country.

3. How much is it? Nothing (or is saying …)

Share

Windows 10 is free, but not for everyone

A major novelty of the operating system that Microsoft its new version for the first time in its history give away free , but not for everyone.

In Windows 10 upgrade is free for anyone who today already have a license for Windows 7 or 8, and this offer is only valid for one year. Then you pay the full price like everyone else.

4. Why is Microsoft Windows 10 gives away for free?

Microsoft embraces the free software model where Apple and Google are already taking the first steps. The company wants its new software as soon as possible on as many devices is installed. Thus, it may prove to developers that it is worthwhile to create apps for Windows users, which can be purchased through the store from Microsoft.

The company hopes that users of their upgrade will be more inclined to use other Microsoft products, and mobile devices.

5. Microsoft is running not so much turnover wrong? How do they make money?

Microsoft will still make money by passing on license for Windows 10 on computer builders. If you buy a new computer with Windows 10, Microsoft gets there a fee for.

Traditional allows the launch of a new operating system for the sale of many new computers. It is still questionable whether that is still the case.

Furthermore, wants to earn money with Ads search engine Bing and offering premium versions Office applications, cloud applications and Skype.

6. Why tomorrow not upgrade?

Share

It may be worthwhile to spend a few days or even weeks wait until you are sure that the first version shows real stable

Windows 10 does not seem quite ready. Days before the launch are still critical errors patched. That is not so surprising, but it may be worthwhile to spend a few days or even weeks to wait until you are sure the first version also stable running.

Some applications, sometimes those where you’re attached to, can not be fully ready for Windows 10 and Disable once you make the upgrade.

Windows 10 additionally comes with forced updates . Users no longer have to choose whether they want to accept the update. On crucial security issues that is a good thing, but there can be passed as updates that can also cause problems.

In short, patience is a virtue for those who still have doubts. All others can upgrade their operating system from tomorrow and would have to do so.

What’s different in Windows 10? And is it good? – The Morning

Windows, the operating system for hundreds of millions of PCs, has changed dramatically. Windows 10 is really such a big step? The ten innovations that jump the most eye-evaluated.

1. Tile free – 4 stars

It was the dearest wish of Windows users: the return of the start menu. They find in the bottom left corner of their computer screen, the familiar list of programs, folders and documents. The ’tile wall (with starting blocks for apps) from Windows 8 is combined with the Start menu. The tiles adorn the Start menu right now and to remove all of them. The tiles are live: as the tile of the weather app shows the current weather

2.. Super Browser – 4 stars

The icon still shows an “e”. But that is no longer for the twenty-year-old Internet Explorer. Microsoft built a new web browser: Edge. Faster and safer, and we could do with notes on Web pages and share it with others. Internet Explorer remains part of Windows, for websites that need it.

3. Rounder – 5 stars

Buy one app, use it everywhere. Microsoft steps with Windows 10 on universal apps. These are programs that run on all devices whether it is a PC, tablet, Windows Phone or Xbox console. But universal apps are also suitable for Hololens (Microsoft’s augmented reality glasses), the Surface Hub (a digital whiteboard) and the raspberry Pi2 (an computer no bigger than a credit card).

4. Skirmishes – 5 stars

No more bickering about who should sit in front of the TV: the gamer or the rest of the family. With Windows 10, we can games on the Xbox One console to a computer “stream” and play. As long as PC and game console on the same Wi-Fi network are we just need the Xbox remote plugs into the PC.

5. Metamorphosis – 4 stars

On a tablet, the entire start menu useless. For two-in-one computers (tablets with detachable keyboard) is conceived tablet mode. We get the screen from the keyboard, then shut down Windows 10 on the tablet mode, the Start menu shows only see tiles and apps occupy the entire screen. The metamorphosis takes place either automatically or always after an “OK” from the user.

6. Emergency phone – 3 stars

We do not need to type in Windows 10 has voice control. An invisible assistant, Cortana, performs basic commands like “Put appointment calendar” or “Search route to the nearest pizzeria.” Whether they are looking for answers on the Internet. You can also dictate text Cortana. With one caveat: “confidant” Cortana still does not understand Dutch

7.. Sided – 3 stars

A major annoyance in Windows 8 was that for adjusting settings like screen size had to look in two places. In the Settings panel were too few functions in the familiar Panel drowned you in a jumble of buttons and controls. Thanks to a new settings menu we need fewer dives in the Control Panel.

8. Messages Boy – 3 stars

A PC with Windows 10 looks like a cell phone. The evidence for this? The Action Centre, clickable from the taskbar. On our phones is called Notification Center. Here send messages that appear apps (appointments, tweets). In the Action Center will find select buttons for frequently used settings such as airplane mode and network.

9. Windowsill – 3 stars

Especially on a tablet screen you have not enough space for all your open (active) programs. The solution: create a virtual desktop on. It is as if there are more monitors connected to your PC. With Task View allows you to switch between these desktops. You can view the windows of active applications also move from one virtual screen to another.

10. Can Opener – 3 stars

A password remember no longer. PCs who are fit for Windows 10 can be recognized by your fingerprint, your iris or face. ‘Hello’ is the new login method. No, the gezichtsherkenner does not buy a photo that you love for the camera. He looks at you in 3D.

Windows 10 is not perfect but “perhaps best version ever ‘- Volkskrant
