MINI brings up its new Augmented Vision and claims to alter the way we perceive reality. It is a set of driving goggles that brings some of the features of your standard head-up display directly into the driver's field of vision.

MINI's Augmented vision goggles are just a prototype but the company plans to bring something like it to the market. Right now it uses an unfortunate looking augmented-reality glasses, and putting them on will be really uncomfortable. Once you have them on, you will have to go through a bit of calibration process matching the output with your own vision.

It also delivers information outside the car, allowing the user to mark a destination and then import it into the navigation system on the click of a button. Not just that, it will also help you spot your car if you forget where it is.

On the go, it projects virtual arrows on the road telling you where to turn, and your speed along with the speed limit is constantly displayed at the bottom of your field of view. It also highlights points of interest including open parking spaces.

The goggles take things a step further, though, with an X-ray view. Using cameras mounted on the outside of the vehicle, it allows drivers to see through certain parts of the car such as doors.

Mini's goggles fills your field of view with handy information(actually a lot) that will take some time to get used to. The cool features like seeing through the passenger door might also turn out to be a distraction to drivers bringing up the question of safety. The goggles get hot after 15 minutes and might be unwearable in a few hours. Despite the cons, it does give a picture of the potential future.

Hey Guys, so recently, in social media like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr etc and newspapers, you might have read about the word "Internet Neutrality" and articles related to it. This article will fully explain everything on this subject. The decision made my TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India)  on 24th April 2015, will affect all us i.e. the netizens.

This short video by All India Bachkod(AIB) also explains the topic:

So , lets start up by talking about Net Neutrality.

What is Net Neutrality?

---

Net Neutrality is the Internet’s guiding principle: It preserves our right to communicate freely online. This is the definition of an open Internet.

Net Neutrality means an Internet that enables and protects free speech. It means that Internet service providers should provide us with open networks — and should not block or discriminate against any applications or content that ride over those networks. 

How does it affect us?

---

Net Neutrality means that all the web pages or web sites are the same, the broadband companies(like Airtel etc) cannot enforce privileges upon some webpages and force you to use that. Example: Say, net neutrality wasn't prevalent in India. Now, you are using Airtel and airtel has a tie up with Amazon but not with Flipkart. Now, if you wan't to buy a product from Flipkart, you won't be allowed to access it, or you'll have to pay a 'fee' to access it. On the other hand, you'll be forced to access Amazon, to buy your items. So, this concept helps companies to earn more money by redirecting website traffic, forcibly.

Without Net Neutrality, cable and phone companies could carve the Internet into fast and slow lanes. An ISP could slow down its competitors' content or block political opinions it disagreed with. ISPs could charge extra fees to the few content companies that could afford to pay for preferential treatment — relegating everyone else to a slower tier of service. This would destroy the open Internet.

What is the Current Scenario in India?

---

In India, the government agency TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) is responsible for all the decisions regarding this topic. It released a complicated 118 page document featuring 20 questions and want you to send your mail by 24th April, 2015. Companies like Airtel and Vodafone, are currently lobbying the agency, to succumb to their wants ie to abolish net neutrality. Thus, the D-Day for us netizens is 24th April 2015.

What can you do to show your Support?

---

Please log on to www.savetheinternet.in or www.netneutrality.in and click [Respond to TRAI Now]  and send your mail to TRAI. TRAI is waiting at least for 1 Million mails to show support to net neutrality and there's only 40000 to go, so my fellow netizen, please send your mail, before 24th April, 2015.

For those who are annoyed with very few USB ports on your laptops but have a lot of devices to plug-in, here's the ultimate solution: InfiniteUSB. This innovative design allows an unlimited number of  devices to plug into one USB port.

The basic idea behind the InfiniteUSB, whether you buy the traditional ones or the new type C ones, is that with a male and female connector and extension cable, you can daisy chain as many USB devices as you like. This will definitely prove to be helpful if you decide to buy one of the ultraportable laptops that are very slim and thus come with very few ports.

The connectors would be wisely color-coded, allowing you to distinguish between your devices. Chaining so many devices lead to possible power issues that come with connecting multiple devices to the computer. The InfiniteUSB supports 2.4A output, so you can charge 2 iPhones at full speed through a single port. The team recommends up to 5 InfiniteUSBs at one time to have good results.

Currently the InfiniteUSB is listed at a retail cost $22 for a "lucky color", and costs $24 to get a color of your choice. There is also a limited stock for just $18. Finally, we will have the days when we don't have to unplug one device to make room for another.

What if you could look at your clock and know everything around you from your grocery list to the weather to your news feed, and of course the time. This cool stuff is now a reality.

The Coolest Clock, developed by Vienna-based a tout le Monde Studios, will be soon in our houses, thanks to an Indiegogo campaign that raised over $144,000 surpassing its goal of $20,000.

This time piece is basically a projector that can be customized to fit your decor with customizable skins. You can also adjust the brightness of the clock's display, so it won't glow at all hours of the night.

The coolest clock is controlled using your smartphone. Once logged in to the app, users can select which features they want displayed. The clock can present the daily and weekly weather forecasts, show Facebook updates, tweets from friends, your news feeds and latest scores.

In addition, you can notify your family of your location via your smartphone, which will be displayed on the clock. Not just that, you can also share what song you are listening to and also share photos that you care to show them

Being an energy saver, it uses a low-energy Bluetooth chip that syncs with your smart phone and automatically shuts on or off when you enter or leave the room. You can also adjust between digital and analog time modes, daylight saving adjustment, and multiple time zones.

The team looks towards adding additional features as well such as sound to enable music and radio play and additional face colors, before the expected ship date of December 2015.
