WWDC 2014




                     Apple introduces iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite at this years' World Wide Developers Conference. Unlike the previous years, Apple completely focused on the developers at WWDC 2014. This years WWDC was all about the developers as Apple didn't launch a single piece of hardware at the event.
                           Apple started the event by showing of a video about how they feel about the developers and how their apps influence everyone. Then as usual Tim Cook talked on all the stats about the standing of iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks in the market. Then it was time for the new OS X Yosemite. The new OS X is greatly influenced by the design of iOS 7. The fonts are now slimmer and less bold. The apps and the dock get a translucent feel. Also the spotlight search gets a complete overhaul as it now not only searches the system but also the web for search results. Some other features that Apple introduced were widgets in Notification Center,iCloud Drive, Mail Drop, Markup and new UI for Safari. There was also a sneakpeak to the new Photos app for the mac which will be coming in future to Yosemite.

OS X Yosemite

MOTO E

Moto E

                     After the very successful launch of the Moto X and the Moto G in the mid-range smartphone market in India, Motorola is now targeting the lower-end market with the launch of Moto E. The Moto E is a step down version of the Moto G which was also just a basic version of the Moto X. But at nearly Rs.7000 with the latest generation of Android i.e.KitKat the Moto E is like no other smartphone in the market at this price point.  

iMac(2013) Review




Apple iMac 

             When Apple first reveled the new slim unibody iMac in 2012, everyone was awestruck by the thin design of the all-in-one desktop. Continuing the same minimalist design Apple has just updated the internals of the new iMac (fall 2013). Even though Apple has kept the same design with an extremely thin edge and a bulge at the back, no other all-in-one desktop has reached that level of beauty in design.
             The new iMac gets the Intel's latest fourth generation processors (a.k.a Haswell) along with faster 802.11ac Wi-Fi, more powerful NVIDIA GeForce 700 graphics processors and the flash storage connected via PCIe in the flash storage or fusion drive models of the iMac.
              All in all these updates don't bring about radicle change in the previous iMac experience but definitly make it more smoother and polished than the other all-in-ones in the market.

What is..? - GeoGebra

                                  There is software named as GEOGEBRA. It is a free, open –source, and multi-platform software that combines dynamic geometry, algebra, calculus, spreadsheet, graphing and statistics in one easy-to-use package. Let us start learning this software. Geogebra was created by Markus Hohenwater in 2001/2002 as a part of his Masters and PhD project in mathematics education at the University of Salzburg in Austria. During that time, geogebra won several international awards, including the European and German educational software awards. Since 2006 geogebra is supported by the Austrian Ministry of Education to maintain the free availability of the software for mathematics education at schools and universities. We will use the latest version of geogebra ( i.e. 4.2)
After you install the geogebra software  -
This icon appears on the desktop. Double clicking this icon the following geogebra window appears.  There are six main parts of geogebra window. They are as follows: (1) Title bar (2) Menu bar (3) Tool bar (4) Algebra view (5) Graphics view (6) Input bar .

Now we will move towards the tools that are present in the tool bar. The tool bar is divided in twelve toolboxes. They are as follows: (1)Move (2) New point (3) Line trough two points (4) Perpendicular  line (5) Polygon (6) Circle with centre through point (7) Ellipse (8) Angle (9) Reflect object about  line (10) Insert  text (11) Slider (12) Move graphics view
