Other specifications on the Motorola RAZR Maxx include an 9 megapixel camera and of course a much larger battery than the original Motorola RAZR.
The main difference between the RAZR Maxx and the original RAZR is the battery, the RAZR Maxx features a much higher capacity battery which will apparently give you up to 17.6 hours oftalk time.
Here in India, to introduce a scrolling message for the Name of the Station in Trains is a Policy Decision ans the Indian Railways do not seem to know that it costs very little.
India is a country with a host of languages needs this service immediately.
There was some talk of having introduced this in some train.
This seems to be a well kept secret.

The new update to Google Maps shows you clearly any disruptions on the Underground that are happening at the time you need them most. To view the new London Underground Alerts simply click on a station in a timetable or in the public transport directions results.
As well as adding real-time London Underground service alerts, Google have also included planned engineering works for the weekends in the journey planner as well.
“When planning a trip for the coming weekend, we will show you the relevant subway alerts as part of the directions results. You can plan a trip for the weekend by changing the departure time in the ‘Get directions’ tab. Should there be planned engineering works for your route, you won’t run into any surprises on the day of travel.”
Similar to the khanacademy.org website, the free Khan Academy app for iPad delivers more than 2,700 videos to the viewer, covering a range of topics including math, science and humanities.
Khan Academy also offers test prep lessons for SAT Math (188 videos), GMAT (96 videos), California Standards Test help, and others. Another section, called “Talks and Interviews,” features videos on Khan Academy television coverage and profiles of Salman Khan, the founder of the free online education platform.
Some videos cater to younger students, too, such as a tutorial on fractions, Vietnam War 101 and basic geometry, to name a few.
As an armchair astronomer, my favorite videos are in the Cosmology and Astronomy section, featuring 85 related videos that cover everything from an introduction to the Big Bang Theory and scaling the distance between planets to the birth of stars and a discussion on black holes. Many of these videos feature colorful, hand-drawn images on a smartboard, of sorts, but there is some multimedia, as well.
Each video can be streamed, with text that follows along with the narrator in real time; this allows you to skip ahead or go back by simply tapping on the desired subtitled section. Videos can also be downloaded to view offline, cued as a playlist or shared with friends or colleagues on Facebook or Twitter. The iTunes page for Khan Academy says interactive exercises are coming soon.
While optional, you can create an account and log in to get credit for watching videos and see your “achievements.”
Whether you’re a student, parent or anyone eager to get educated in any of these subjects — for free and accessible anywhere you’ve got your iPad — you’ll no doubt appreciate the breadth and depth of these informative video lessons.
The iBrain is part of a new generation of portable neural devices and algorithms intended to monitor and diagnose conditions like sleep apnea, depression and autism. Invented by a team led by Philip Low, a 32-year-old neuroscientist who is chief executive ofNeuroVigil, a company based in San Diego, the iBrain is gaining attention as a possible alternative to expensive sleep labs that use rubber and plastic caps riddled with dozens of electrodes and usually require a patient to stay overnight.
“The iBrain can collect data in real time in a person’s own bed, or when they’re watching TV, or doing just about anything,” Dr. Low said.
The device uses a single channel to pick up waves of electrical brain signals, which change with different activities and thoughts, or with the pathologies that accompany brain disorders.
About the Hawking experiment, he said, “The idea is to see if Stephen can use his mind to create a consistent and repeatable pattern that a computer can translate into, say, a word or letter or a command for a computer.”
The researchers traveled to Dr. Hawking’s offices in Cambridge, England, fitted him with the iBrain headband and asked him “to imagine that he was scrunching his right hand into a ball,” Dr. Low said. “Of course, he can’t actually move his hand, but the motor cortex in his brain can still issue the command and generate electrical waves in his brain.”
The algorithm, called Spears, was able to discern Dr. Hawking’s thoughts as signals, which were represented as a series of spikes on a grid.
They are in late prototype stages of wearable glasses that look similar to thick-rimmed glasses that “normal people” wear. However, these provide a display with a heads up computer interface. There are a few buttons on the arms of the glasses, but otherwise, they could be mistaken for normal glasses. Additionally, we are not sure of the technology being employed here, but it is likely a transparent LCD or AMOLED display such as the one demonstrated below:
In addition, we have heard that this device is not an “Android peripheral” as the NYT stated. According to our source, it communicates directly with the Cloud over IP. Although, the “Google Goggles” could use a phone’s Internet connection, through Wi-Fi or a low power Bluetooth 4.0.
The use-case is augmented reality that would tie into Google’s location services. A user can walk around with information popping up and into display -Terminator-style- based on preferences, location and Google’s information.
Therefore, these things likely connect to the Internet and have GPS. They also likely run a version of Android.
Our tipster has now seen a prototype and said it looks something like Oakley Thumps (below). These glasses, we heard, have a front-facing camera used to gather information and could aid in augmented reality apps. It will also take pictures. The spied prototype has a flash —perhaps for help at night, or maybe it is just a way to take better photos. The camera is extremely small and likely only a few megapixels.
