We’re into our second decade of the 21st century, and we still don’t have flying cars. Yes, we’ve said this previously as well – but so what if we’re getting autonomous vehicles? What’s stopping the emergence of flying vehicles? Not much, apparently. After years of diligently sticking to the roads for transport, the world has been eagerly waiting for cars to fly. We reproduce our dreams about them in fiction such as Jet sons, Back to the Future movies, Star Wars and many more. With recent news about Terrafugia’s TF-X, we can finally hope to welcome flying cars in…

The same task that is effortless on a computer, can become a horrible nightmare on the smartphone. That’s the problem the apps we’re going to look at try to solve. Their aim is to simplify our constant struggle of logging out and logging in for separate IDs. And all it takes…

In 2017, we think very little about typing into our search engine for anything from directions and advice affecting our daily lives, to philosophical ideology dating back centuries. Every second the internet is mined, used to store photos, memories, and notes – used as a lifeline for busy people leading busy lives.

Almost 2 decades ago, in January 1998, the first online poker game involving real money kicked off. This was of course, much before the internet was host to slick graphics and zippy connections. 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.

Different colors have a different effect on our psychology, but is it the same feeling experienced by two different people when they see a…
