So it wouldn’t be too hard to imagine that the 1998 game was almost unplayable by today’s standards. Nevertheless, it did lay the foundation for what is now a nearly $40 billion dollar industry, growing at 11% every year. As many as 85 countries have regulations for it, and more than 100 million people are now playing poker online. That’s more than the number of people playing…

Ever wondered why you’re going to see a red light outside an operation theater room? Or why the police force in some countries has a blue uniform while in others, it dons beige? Colors have a significant psychological effect. And the individuals and insitutions in charge of policy and authority are adept at exploiting this to optimise end results. Most color usage is usually for persuasion. Colors can persuade us whether to buy a product, or decide on how trustworthy the same product could be. Different colors have a different effect on our psychology, but is it the same feeling experienced by two different people when they see a…

If you’re not into architecture tour and travel, there are plenty of reasons to begin. You’re exposed to a stunning variety of thoughts and design spread across the planet, seldom to be find in one region. It’s complementary to travel actually – just that instead of the whole broad experience (in terms of people, culture etc) we typically associate with travel, we’re dealing primarily with architecture and how it shaped the region around it. Futuristic Architecture Futuristic architecture is a concept characterized by anti-historism, strong chromaticism, long dynamic lines, suggesting speed, motion, urgency and lyricism. Not to make it more…

Mysterious disappearances of ships and airplanes fuel the hype behind the Bermuda Triangle, roughly outlined on map by connecting Miami, Florida and Puerto Rico of Atlantic Ocean. Naturally, they are a subject of multiple conspiracy theories that attribute the phenomenon to paranormal activity and extraterrestrial beings. Columbus first discovered this area and about erratic compass readings and reported that a great flame of fire crashed into the sea and strange light appeared. Researchers tried to search the whereabouts of the ships that went missing. This area is home to some deepest ocean trenches in the world, making it impossible to find wreckage…

It’s been nearly one and a half decades since Submerge was incorporated by Nikhil Chinapa, Pearl and Hermit Sethi. Since 2003, they’ve gone about significantly impacting how music is perceived and absorbed by the masses in India. Previously largely ignored by the hotshots from the West, India has been hosting multiple electronic music legends in succession now. Submerge can justifiably take credit for kickstarting the trend and subtly influencing the bigger scene nationwide. The electronic music scene isn’t new to India. Festivals and events were common in Goa with multiple artists dropping their tracks every year as early as in…

Disruptive changes are expected in 2017 in terms of computer architecture and data processing. The uprising demand for processors with titanic volumes of data crunching capacity, multiple processing has increased in the last 3 years. Intel has previously launched its machine learning based chips of the Xeon Phi family in 2013. The latest Intel Xeon Phi Processor 7250F (16GB, 1.40 GHz, 68 core), also known as the “Knight’s Landing” generation is being used in supercomputers for intricate high order computations.With Nvidia gaining edge over high graphical and deep learning with the Pascal GPU, Intel is also getting ready for a…

You might be behind the wheel, but who is driving your car? Cars aren’t just mechanical contraptions generating controlled explosions within their combustion enginges anymore. As with almost every other industry, automobiles too have become increasingly digital. And it’s not limited anymore to small applications like having microprocessors control your air conditioner, check on your fuel, or allow keyless entry. Cars now are going wireless, connected to the internet. And when there’s the internet, there’s potential for hacking and malicious usage. How Real is Car Hacking Car hacking is turning into an increasingly danagerous threat, with solid potential to unleash chaos on roads. While…

The conversion of energy into motion requires the usage of actuators which typically use electric current, hydraulic fluid pressure or pneumatic pressure as its source of power. Linear actuators converts rotational motion into linear motion in contrary to the circular motion of a conventional electric motor. The use of electric linear actuators, AC or DC power as source of power to run an electric motor, are the most preferred choice due to their advantages and also by far the most predominant compared to other actuators. Modern offices are now embracing the use of linear motion technologies to ensure there are…
