GOOGLE WIND Google has made umpteen numbers of things possible for us with just one click. We have access to Google maps and getting accurate weather conditions along with answering any question for us all on our smartphones. Now Google has gone one step further has done something completely unbelievable and extraordinary. While weather predictions help us prepare ourselves against a potential cyclone or storm or massive blizzards, a new Google project has set its eyes to go one step further. Now, Google has announced his latest project ‘Google Wind’, with this project the company claims to be able to change the direction of winds, keep a tab on rainfall and control the weather in Netherlands through repurposing the country’s old windmills. The Google Cloud Platform team in Netherlands came up with the novel idea of ‘Google Wind’. Netherlands is known for its tulips and windmills and has a moist climate where it rains 145 days a year. There are not many sunny days in th

Using Billion Sound Technology (BST), the  Muzo  smart acoustic device attaches to any smooth surface and generates dynamic, realistic sounds, while promising to cancel vibration and outside noise. This way, the company claims that Muzo can turn almost anything into a crystal clear acoustic environment, including windows, walls, and desks and other furniture; improve the quality of your sleep, and even help protect your speech privacy. And it promises to do all of this over three steps: Position Muzo toward the noise and reposition if needed. Gently press the large button on the surface to select your ambient noise (or, use the noise-canceling technology by itself). Rotate the button to adjust soundtrack volume. Together, the company tells us that Muzo’s noise-blocking technology can create a “personal zone creator” that can work as an alternative to sleep aids and costly sound machines. Muzo sure sounds cool, but is it worth the money? Is it even a feasible concept? W

It comes with 10 sheets of paper, which are refillable through the free Prynt app, available in the Apple App Store and Google Play store. Once the case and app are easily  installed , you can use it to take a video or print a photo already stored on your phone and then record a five-second video.

Project Loon uses tennis court-sized balloons carrying a small box of equipment to beam internet access to a wide area below. The team told the BBC they had been testing the system in Peru when serious floods hit in January, and so the technology was opened up to people living in three badly-hit cities. Until now, only small-scale tests of the technology had taken place. Project Loon is in competition with other attempts to provide internet from the skies, including Facebook’s Aquila project which is being worked on in the UK. Project Loon recently announced  it had figured out how to use artificial intelligence (AI) to “steer” the balloons by raising or lowering them to piggy-back weather streams. It was this discovery that enabled the company to use just a “handful” of balloons to connect people in Lima, Chimbote, and Piura. The balloons were launched from the US territory of Puerto Rico before being guided south. Over the course of three months - at the time of wr
