Is Blockchain the Latest Revolution in Technology?
The blockchain is more like a digital ledger to store financial transactions just like a book that contains what comes in and what goes out. Unlike traditional ledger, the digital one is a lot more vast and secure with no intermediaries involved.
In Blockchain, each block contains, but not limited to, a cryptographic hash of the previous block along with the transaction data. It can be used by two parties to record transactions in a secure and permanent way. It is managed by a peer-to-peer network and allows the safe transit of digital information.
Why is Blockchain the latest revolution in technology?
Blockchain technology was originally designed to deal with Bitcoin but now it has become the talk of the town, a revolution. During its earlier stage, the technology confronted heavy criticism and rejection but after a thoughtful revision, it came out to be more productive, more useful, and more secure. It has now become a practical way to store data in a digital form that is reconciled from time to time.
Let’s take a look at some of the benefits:
Authenticity – The information is stored in blocks that are further stored on Blockchain that cannot be controlled by a single person or identity. It simply means that there are no or very fewer chances of failure and the technology can serve as a reliable space for a business transaction.
Transparency – The tech-savvy people claim that the Blockchain technology is totally transparent. As the blocks are recorded and … Read more
How to Help Your Aspiring Slugger – Dad’s Arm Vs A Pitching Machine
Buying a pitching machine is essential for any little league baseball team. The baseball machines are overall superior compared to a dad when it comes to pitching. Pitching placement is one of many areas the pitching machine beats the dad. Have you ever seen a child get beamed in the head by a rogue pitch from a dad? It is a common sight at most baseball practices. Many kids are often afraid of batting practice because they don’t want to be hit by a baseball. With a pitching machine it hits a certain location every time, ensuring you get the most out of baseball practice. This accuracy will give the child more confidence in his or her batting, and also allow them to hit harder and more accurately.
The pitching machine also wins over the dad when it comes to pitching speed. Not all dads are very good pitchers, and their pitches are often all over the place, both in placement and in speed. This variance in speed can cause stride issues for the kid batting. It also will diminish his confidence if he rarely can hit the dads pitch. Pitching machines will hit a certain speed every time. This accuracy in speed will help to create a confident, strong stride needed to hit the ball well.
These dads who think they can pitch won’t walk away with a hurt ego, they will benefit too. Instead of having to ice their arm after a long practice of pitching, they’ll be … Read more
Mobile Application Development For Android
The Android platform has taken a significant amount of market share, and by some measures has surpassed the iPhone as the dominant smartphone worldwide. While expansion of the iPhone’s carrier base may retake some market share for Apple, there is little doubt that the Android is here to stay -and any developer wanting a serious position in the marketplace must develop for this platform.
The software development kit, available from Google, gives app developers a rich set of tools for creating apps, including the OS, middleware, and several development tools. The SDK also includes all the APIs needed to get started right away with Android software development. Because Android is an open platform, developers have many more options in hand, and potentially a very broad market. The Android platform is truly in a class of its own. In addition to being an open source, mobile platform, it support for Java is attractive to many developers.
The SDK itself includes several core applications, which make developing Android software development a snap. In addition to sample code clips, the SDK comes with debugging tools and a handset emulator, and several business and utility functions and features. The inclusion of this vast set of tools not only gives the developer more options and an easy path to development, it also lays the groundwork for a richer end-user experience. Because the developer has these tools at his or her disposal, the end result will be a software program with more features, which is easier … Read more
WARP DRIVE or STARGATE TECHNOLOGY?
Regardless if you are into UFOs, Astrobiology, Extraterrestrial life, Ancient aliens, or space exploration in general, we are all after the same outcome: First contact with alien life. First Contact doesn’t necessarily mean contact with intelligent life, it rather means that the discovery of ANY form of extraterrestrial life is considered First Contact.
However, it’s a big universe out there, and exploring it with our current means of propulsion, is not going to be a viable solution. Putting a few humans into a small capsule on top of a firecracker is not going to do the job. Distances in space are simply too fast for our current propulsion systems.
So, what are the other options? Well, there are currently a few different projects under development. Nuclear based, ion based, solar particles and some other concepts. However, none of these options will give us more than about 90% of light speed, at best, and that’s still way too slow for serious interstellar exploration. So, what’s left?. Answer: Warp Drive, or Stargate Technology. I can see that some of you are rolling their eyes right now: “But that’s Sci-Fi”. Well, not so fast. Both options have actually some solid scientific basis. While we are still some time away from building a fully functional warp engine or a functioning Stargate, the gap between Science fiction and science fact is closing fast. Even before Albert Einstein, formulated his theories about space and time decades ago, the idea of some kind of a “Light Speed” … Read more

How to Select a Cheap Computer That Truly Meets Your Needs
Cheap computer selection can be fun and exciting. Or it can be mysterious and end-up costing you more than it should. Here are some ideas to help. Selecting a computer all boils down to your computer needs and computer strength. You should understand both before you go shopping.
Computer strength is determined by certain key components. They are the CPU, RAM memory, the hard disk drive, the graphics card, and the sound card. This article will review these parts and explain them so you will be able to avoid the many pitfalls in selection when purchasing any computer or laptop.
Your Intended Use
First, it is important to determine exactly what you intend to use the computer for. This is because you should buy a computer suited to your needs, and NOT only because of price, color, cabinet design, or because it’s what a store has in stock. Your primary considerations should be a balance between your ability to pay and if the computer is powerful enough to handle your computer needs. Otherwise you are paying for excess Processor and Ram that you will never be used.
I recommend you write down on a piece of paper exactly what you want to do with a computer. If you know what software programs and games you will run, write them down. If you have these programs and you still have the box they came in, look on the box and see what operating systems (O/Ss) they will run on and the … Read more
