Tesla Is Working On Robotic Snakes That Emerge From The Wall To Charge Your Car

no exception the <b>Tesla CEO</b> tweeted that his electric car company is 
actually working on tech that would allow chargers to snake out of the 
wall and plug into your car automatically, eliminating the need to 
manually connect when you get your <b>Model S</b> back to your garage at night.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This would presumably somewhat resemble the kind of <a href="http://www.techhintz.com/2014/12/double-amputee-becomes-first-to-control.html" target="_blank">articulated robotic arms</a> made famous by comic book villain Doctor Octopus, but less 
threatening and evil. The invention would appear to be driven by a 
desire to make the process of charging Tesla vehicles even more 
convenient, and also by extension more idiot-proof you can’t forget to
 plug in your car when the plug is autonomous, after all.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Backwards compatibility for said tech is a nice bonus, and yet 
another example of how Tesla goes out of its way to bring the benefits 
of its advances to existing, as well as new customers. Already, Tesla 
has begun rolling out battery swap tech that works with existing cars, 
and earlier this year it introduced a warranty extension that applied 
backwards to existing Model S cars already shipped.</span><br />

Google Unveils An Extremely Easy Way To Broadcast Audio From Your Phone To Stereo Speakers

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2g7OeWgIhz0qdGlQlPrMcpBpkEP3KUxO5x7iAgOa7ZnK57oLCsaPbfVuEUTXbmmAMe-Iz7o7ZhkLeGg9PmXqa1rPi5xBZDygbOuj-nqPA1P9o43h-GIE3jO0lmUTiJOmSI83T5OLggNms/s1600/google+chromecast.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Google Cast for audio" border="0" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2g7OeWgIhz0qdGlQlPrMcpBpkEP3KUxO5x7iAgOa7ZnK57oLCsaPbfVuEUTXbmmAMe-Iz7o7ZhkLeGg9PmXqa1rPi5xBZDygbOuj-nqPA1P9o43h-GIE3jO0lmUTiJOmSI83T5OLggNms/s1600/google+chromecast.jpg" title="" width="400" /></a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Google announced its own streaming audio solution, which is 
designed to let hardware partners embed <b>Chromecast</b> audio capabilities 
into their speakers, sound-bars, receivers and other sound-producing 
devices. Google launching <a href="http://chrome.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Cast for audio</a>
 means that its streaming solution is now more directly analogous to 
AirPlay, but it also allows you to use Android, iOS and even web-based 
sources through Chrome to stream your music, podcasts and more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Want to transmit music from your phone, tablet 
or desktop to an external device? Just click the cast button and find a 
Google Cast Ready speaker. It’s that easy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Once you’re connected, Google Cast Ready speakers will 
pull content directly from the cloud in order to ensure you’re 
getting the best possible audio quality.  </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The ‘Cast Ready’ speakers that are launching today include devices 
from Sony, LG and Denon, and there should be lots more coming later this
 year. Google also intends to integrate its general Cast capabilities, 
including both audio and visual, to stuff like set-top boxes, television
 sets, consoles and more.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Already, there are lots of apps that support Cast audio streaming, 
including Google Play Music, Deezer, Pandora, Rdio, TuneIn, iHeartRadio, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">NPR One, Pandora, 
and more. It works just like the original video and app-streaming 
Casting, via an in-app button you tap to select your destination device.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Google had already offered audio Casting from compatible software on 
mobile device that used its API, but now we’ll start seeing dedicated 
audio hardware devices that provide the same support that has been 
available via Chromecast streaming dongle and Android TV. It’s much 
closer to what Apple has offered for AirPlay,which already allows users to cast audio to their speakers,and has helped them 
expand their third-party device ecosystem even further since its was introduced.</span><br />

<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #444444; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">While the functionality is still not available and probably not even fully complete,whatsapp enthusiasts have managed to dig up a glimpse of what it may look like.</span></span><br />
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #444444; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As it turns out, the Android version of WhatsApp exists in two main build branches, One stable branch, which can be found on the Play Store and which almost everybody has on their devices and another one, distributed directly off of the company’s website.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span id="more-77787" style="border: 0px none; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #444444; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The latter gets updated a lot more frequently and eager Android tinkerers and developers have figured out that it often includes features that are still in the making. Those are hidden away for testing purposes.</span></span><br />
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #444444; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em; padding: 0px; position: relative; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The latest version of the application, supplied by the Facebook owned company, includes a lot of new secret screens that set the ground for a future voice calling function.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since a few versions back,Whatsapp[</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">GooglePlay Store version</span></span>] ask permission to turn on </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bluetooth</span></span>. This has to do with the chime feature of WhatsApp: Bluetooth can be turned on in order to connect with a Bluetooth headset. The interface is also fairly simple.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: black; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 22px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

For one, the whole calling functionality seems, at least at present, pretty much separated from the chat function. There are separate screens that handle dialing, call logs and of course, the obligatory contacts screen and call status.</span>, you can do all this by pressing the Call button at the top of the screen.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In the screensot you can see, for example, the phone number of your colleagues, but also media files that you have exchanged. It seems likely that the information about your call log will </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">also</span></span> be processed in this screen.</span></span></div>

That accept or reject functionality will be just as in the normal chime feature of your smartphone: by swiping the screen. <span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; display: inline ! important; float: none; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 21px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Another interesting possibility is that perhaps WhatsApp will allow for calls to be recorded and played back at a later time, which is definitely a nice little bonus.</span></span></span></div>

losing both of his arms in a freak electrical accident, Colorado 
resident <b>Leslie Baugh</b> got two new bionic limbs. And after just 10 days 
of training, he began using them to move objects from shelf to shelf, 
controlling them with only his thoughts.</span></div>

<div id="yui_3_15_0_1_1419196176749_3177">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Baugh, as Johns Hopkins’ Applied Physics Laboratory reports,
 is the first “bilateral shoulder-level amputee” to wear and control two
 modular prosthetic limbs at the same time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The technology has been in 
development for more than a decade. It was funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and was tested on Baugh as part of an experimental program run at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_15_0_1_1419196176749_3180">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Though his progress is 
groundbreaking, accomplishing this medical first was no easy feat. Baugh
 first had to undergo an intense surgery performed by the institute’s 
medical director, Albert Chi that rearranged (in medical terms, “<span id="yui_3_15_0_1_1419196176749_3506">reinnervated”</span>) the nerves in his chest.</span></div>

came out from under it, the pain,I don’t even remember the original

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Baugh said in <a data-rapid_p="479" data-v9y="1" data-ylk="elm:itm;elmt:link;t1:a2;t2:article;t3:body;t8:3470e8b6-005c-3895-b14f-088e09d49ff7;t9:18;itc:0;" href="http://www.jhuapl.edu/newscenter/pressreleases/2014/141216.asp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">a video released by the university</a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After the surgery was complete, 
the doctors used a 360-degree scanning method to produce a prototype for
 a cast to fit around Baugh’s body. This was meant to function as both a
 support brace for his new limbs and a platform on which his 
reinnervated nerves could make the brain-to-chest nerve connections 
required to move.</span></div>

on a virtual reality system that was meant to mimic the robot arms he’d 
soon receive. With a collection of nerve monitors stuck to his 
shoulders, Baugh would look at a computer screen as he practiced 
thinking about lifting his elbow up and down. If he successfully made 
the neural connection, the virtual arm would move just how he’d 
intended.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span id="yui_3_15_0_1_1419196176749_3461">“Once the training sessions were complete, and they released me and let me<span id="yui_3_15_0_1_1419196176749_3460"> be the computer … I just go into a whole different world,” Baugh said.</span></span></span></div>

 now has access to the areas of motion most people take for granted in 
their upper bodies: shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands. Within all these 
categories, he can move an amazing 30 degrees altogether. Though this 
means he can move cups and balls from one place to another, it’s a 
complicated process. He must move each joint into position separately — 
for instance, first shoulder, then elbow, then wrist. </span></span></span><br />

While there’s no question that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus 
are beautiful smartphones, some might argue that Apple’s 2012 iPhone 5 
and last year’s iPhone 5s feature an overall look that is more sleek and
 sophisticated. Now, imagine that sophisticated design was given harder 
lines, darker tones and a 5-inch full HD display, and it was built out 
of titanium and 18k gold instead of aluminum.<br />
Meet the new limited-edition Regal Black Edition luxury Android phone from Gresso.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;">Don't Miss: </span><a href="http://technewsgh.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-biggest-hits-and-misses-of-tech.html">The biggest Hits And Misses Of Tech Products In 2014</a></span></b><br />

We mentioned Gresso in a recent post about high-quality iPhone 6 cases,
 but the company makes much more than just iPhone accessories. It also 
builds high-end cell phones aimed at the luxury market, and its latest 
phone is easily its best and most impressive yet.<br />
Gresso’s high-end smartphones have a new addition to the family, and 
it is one of the most stunning handsets the world has ever seen. The 
Gresso Regal Black Edition features a PVD-coated titanium case and white
 or yellow 18k gold trim. It’s also assembled by hand and is limited to 
just 999 pieces.<br />
Best of all, perhaps, Gresso doesn’t skimp on specs as much as some 
other luxury smartphone makers do. The Regal Black Edition features a 
5-inch full HD display, a quad-core 1.5GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB 
of storage, a 13-megapixel rear camera, a 5-megapixel front-facing 
camera and Android KitKat.<br />
And now, of course, for the bad news: the Regal Black Edition will 
set you back $5,000, so it’s certainly not for everyone. Those who can 
afford it will certainly appreciate and enjoy it, however, and more info
 can be found by following the source link below.<br />

 but there's another product line </div>
with the same name that will set your 
wallet back, too.<br />
The 88 Tauri
 is the latest smartphone from the Tonino Lamborghini Group and it comes
 with an extravagant price tag of $6,000, according to Russian tech 
website hi-tech.mail.ru. <br />
<div class="see-also">

Tonino Lamborghini manufactures luxury products, like watches and accessories. The company's name comes from it founder, who's the son of the late Ferruccio Lamborghini, the man behind Lamborghini cars.<br />
Only 1,947 88 Tauri devices will be made — the number was chosen for the founder's birth year.<br />
<br />
<span class="microcontent" data-description="The technical specs aren't groundbreaking — it's in line with already available smartphone options" data-fragment="the-technical-specs-arent" data-micro="1">The technical specs aren't groundbreaking — it's in line with already available smartphone options</span> — but this phone is clearly more about showing off wealth than any sort of advanced functionality. 
<br />
There's a 5-inch HD display and a 2.3GHz quad-core processor. It also
 comes with 64GB of storage and 3GB of RAM. The 20-megapixel camera is a
 bit more impressive, along with the a front-facing 8-megapixel camera.<br />
The phone is available in real leather (in black, blue, red, orange or brown) and steel (in black, gold or silver). <br />
Overall, the exorbitant sticker price is pretty much all about that 
Lamborghini name, plus the high-quality build materials and exclusivity 
of the product. There's nothing too forward-thinking about this phone, 
but we doubt the target consumer is overly concerned about that.<br />
Although this might be a product the rich and famous might want to 
add to a Christmas list, sales don't begin until late December. <br />

</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> smartphones, the race for the slimmest handset is not over yet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Chinese manufacturer Vivo has unveiled the Vivo X5Max, a smartphone that's just 4.75-mm (0.187-inches) thick at its thinnest point.</span><br />
<div class="see-also">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Besides its incredibly slim profile, the handset seems to be a very 
capable device, with a 5.5-inch, 1080p screen, an octa-core Qualcomm 
Snapdragon 615 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and a 13-megapixel
 camera.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Engadget</i>, which had some hands-on time
 with the Vivo X5Max, noted that its 2,000mAH battery is definitely not 
the best in class — but that's not surprising from such a thin device.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In addition, its 13-megapixel camera is responsible for a noticeable 
bump on the phone's back, making it thicker by nearly 2mm (0.07 inches) 
at that point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Other phones in the "extremely slim" category include the Oppo R5, which is 4.85-mm (0.19-inches) thick, and Huawei Ascend P7, which is 6.6-mm (0.26-inches) thick.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Vivo X5Max is expected to hit China Mobile stores for about $490 on Dec. 12.</span><br />

The New Hush earplugs soothing outside sounds,but keep your smartphone alerts via associated app

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Now, a new wearable earplugs called Hush,created by three engineering students who are 
all named Daniel (Daniel "Ewok" Lee, Daniel Synn and Daniel "Chesong" 
Lee) from the University of California, San Diego, is using smart- device technology to do just that — at least when it comes to hearing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The smart earplugs, which use noise-canceling technology to ensure a disturbance-free sleep by eliminating sounds such as loud neighbors, snoring partners and noisy streets., work in concert with your smartphone through an associated app which is compatible with both iOS and Android devices with bluetooth 4.0 enabled.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">It also notifies you and you alone,that way when your alarm goes off, you don’t wake up anyone else.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Daniel "Ewok" Lee told The Huffington Post; </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">"The basic value of Hush is 'block out sound. Hear what you need,That was why Hush was born'"</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Sound-eliminating foam, combined with noise-masking frequencies emitted by the in-ear plug (at up to 30 to 40 decibels) for up to 10 hours,results in what the creators claim is a noise reduction of up to 70</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">decibels.So whether you’re trying to sleep through a noisy cross-country or airplane flight,<b>the smart earplugs aim to offer a simple remedy for achieving silence</b> </span><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">“If we had to classify ourselves,we would say that we are creating a </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">wearable — not headphones,”</span></blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Lee said when asked about comparisons to noise-canceling headphones.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">With the Hush app, you control which alerts you let through while you’re
 asleep. Silence unimportant notifications but still hear your alarm or 
emergency phone calls  </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The Kickstarter campaigned on Nov. 12 with a goal of $100,000, 
already raised almost $300,000 as of Wednesday in the same week.  </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hush earplugs will retail at about $149, and their estimated delivery is
 spring 2015. The Daniels are working to make them compatible with more 
devices. </span><br />
