Inventons Mobile Ptotection

Mobile Airbag is here : No More Cracked Phone Screen

Mobile Airbag is here : No More Cracked Phone Screen
June 29, 20180 Comments

A mechatronics engineering student from Germany has invented a “mobile airbag” that automatically comes into action when you drop your mobile phone, and hence protecting it from any kind of damage or harm.

Phillip Frenzel, a 25-year-old master’s student at Aalen University in Germany, came up with his idea after breaking his phone by throwing the jacket containing it over a banister. The impact caused the electronics inside the phone to break.

From then on, Frenzel began looking into developing a system to prevent dropped phones from breaking. Though we have huge stocks of big and bulky protective cases for smartphones available in the market but this guy(Frenzel) wanted something smaller and more advanced.


After four years of research and thinking, Frenzel created a “mobile airbag” that unfolds from the corners of a relatively-thin case when sensors detect that it’s in free fall.





When the phone is under free fall the dampers are pushed into their “airbag” position automatically with metal springs, and they help absorb the impact of the fall to protect a device’s screen and inner components. After being deployed, the dampers can be pushed back into the case, allowing it to be completely reusable.

Frenzel names his invention as AD Case i.e Active Damping Case.

The German Mechatronics Society was so impressed by Frenzel’s invention that it awarded him its national Mechatronics Prize for 2018. Frenzel has also since registered for a patent to protect his creation. He’s reportedly planning to commercialize the case starting with a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign.

Android Apps Public Speaking fear

These 6 apps will make you a better Public Speaker

These 6 apps will make you a better Public Speaker
June 27, 20180 Comments


F or many people, public speaking ranks just below reptiles (but above spiders and heights) when it comes to the things they fear most. We've found the apps that will help you nail those nerves.

No matter how intense your fear of public speaking, when you’re building your social enterprise, the need is hard to avoid from time to time. How else will you impress complete strangers with your vision, and make the impact you dream of, after all? Fortunately, you don’t need an elocutionist to get you walking and talking tall in front of a crowd – just use your smartphone to train you instead. We’ve done a bit of digging to help you pitch and present like a pro: banish glossophobia with these essential public-speaking apps.

1. VirtualSpeech

Practice may make perfect, but virtual reality (VR) makes it fun. Pair this Android/iOS app with any Google Cardboard or Gear VR headset, and Virtual Speech will simulate the experience of giving a presentation. Whether you want to practise in front of a big audience or a small group, this app gives you a range of 360º environments (from classrooms to boardrooms) that'll help hone your technique and annunciate with ease.



2. Confident Public Speaking Now

Your palms are sweaty, your stomach’s full of butterflies and your legs are made of jelly – when it comes to presenting, a few nerves are normal but they needn’t throw you off your game. Bring a sense of calm to preparations with hypnotherapist David Ridgeway’s Confident Public Speaking Now. Available on both Android and iOS this app is preferable to picturing your audience in their underwear and features 10 minutes of self-hypnosis and guided meditation to get you back on track.




3. Prompster

Forget flash cards, this app (on Android and iOS) turns your mobile into a digital teleprompter so you can reel off your spiel like a seasoned TV broadcaster. This clever little app enables you to import .txt files from Dropbox, copy and paste from email or create documents within the app. Plus you can set your scrolling speed, quickly move between different sections, opt for mirror or reverse text and track your time as you speak.

4. PromptSmart Pro

Seeking something even more high tech? The PromptSmart Pro iOS app takes the theme one step further. With speech-recognition technology, it auto-adjusts text speed to your speaking pace and holds your place when you go off script.



5. Likeso
Stop ‘likes’, ‘sos’ and ‘ums’ from crushing your credibility with the Likeso iOS app, which uses voice-recognition technology to analyses your words and pacing in real time. Awarding you a score from ‘A+’ to ‘uh-oh’ and training you out of poor oratory habits. Similar apps include Um Counter (Android ) and Ummo (also iOS ) – both are tuned to pick up filler words for killer presentations.



6. Speakerclock

Inspired by the famous TED Talk timer, the Speakerclock iOS app is big red digits that let you see how you’re tracking and how much time you have left as you speak. It’s a really simple concept, but incredibly useful for ensuring a reasonable pace and staying within those all-important time constraints. The traffic light system helps you see when the end is near so you can hammer home key messages. And when your presentation’s over, simply tap the screen to stop. Presentation Clock on Android performs a very similar function, or try Toastmaster Timer for the same traffic light effect.

Android Apps Movies

Free Netflix Alternative : Tubi TV

Free Netflix Alternative : Tubi TV
June 26, 20180 Comments


T here’s an app you might never have heard of before, which lets you watch films and TV shows that aren’t on Netflix for absolutely nothing. However, it’s currently not available in Europe. Tubi TV isn’t new. The streaming service has been around since 2014, and has racked up millions of downloads from both Android and iOS users.





Google Home Mini available in discount!Buy Now 

 Tubi TV offers free popular movies and TV series streaming to you in full HD absolutely free. You don’t have to spend a dime. You don’t have to register with your credit card. The videos have commercials, but fewer than cable. Unlike cable, you can watch it anywhere, anytime and on any device, so grab your popcorn and enjoy!

Free shows and movies are added every week, so you’ll never run out of entertainment on the go. Watch new movies, action flicks, documentaries, Korean dramas, anime, horror, comedy and so much more, without ever paying a subscription fee! Tubi TV has the largest library of free and legal TV shows and movies to choose from, whenever and wherever you want!

However, a Reddit thread recently (H/T BGR) suggests it isn’t as widely known about as we thought it was. It’s packed with tens of thousands of TV shows and films, all of which are completely free to watch. You don’t even need to create an account if you don’t want to.

That’s because Tubi TV’s content is ad-supported − you’ll see commercials before and during whatever you’re watching. While some people will inevitably hate that, others prefer it to a subscription fee. However, we’re not sure Tubi TV is worth switching to from one of the big streaming service, like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. It’s got a handful of gems, like The Terminator, True Grit and Oldboy, but the rest is… hit and miss.

Still though, new stuff is added on a weekly basis, and you can provide feedback to Tubi TV to let them know what you want. It’s also available on a wide variety of devices, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PlayStation and smart TVs. You can access it through a browser too.

However, it’s currently only available in the US, and that hasn’t always been the case. As the Tubi TV website explains: “We are not available in Europe due to changes in EU laws. The GDPR went into effect on May 2018; Tubi is working on compliance and planning to re-launch in European countries soon.”

That’s obviously a deal-breaker for millions of potential users, but the situation could change. You can register your email address with Tubi to find out when it will be available in your country or check out our guide to the best VPNs if you’re after a workaround.
