Brain Controlled Car                    Hackers Turn Tesla Into a Brain-Controlled Car                                  --   By  Alyssa Danigelis, Seeker.      The Tesla Model S had only gone a few feet, rolling mostly straight from one empty spot in the parking garage to another. The driver wasn't behind the wheel, though. He sat in the passenger's seat, donning an EEG headset that allowed him to control the vehicle with his mind. Meet Telepathic. This feat is the brainchild of California-based technologists Casey Spencer, Lorenzo Caoile, Vivek Vinodh and Abenezer Mamo. Their team used Spencer's 2015 Tesla Model S 85D for the hack, and their project placed third at the  Cal Hacks  event for university students this month. The team only had 36 hours to make telepathic happen for the hackathon. In their setup, an EEG headset translates the brain activity for "stop" or "go" into analog signals broadcast by an off-the-shelf RC radio a

Samsung's TipTalk smart strap gives old watches some  finger phone magic (hands-on)      Samsung has let employees play with crazy new ideas in its C-Lab, and TipTalk gives any watch a smart makeover with an amazing way to take calls by just putting your finger against your ear.                    On show at CES 2016, the Samsung-backed TipTalk is a clever new "smart strap" for traditional watches, adding fitness tracking, notifications and calling features to any watch. It's the greatest trick? Letting you take calls by pressing your finger into your ear like some kind of kids' make believe fake phone game has become reality. The idea comes from a Samsung project called C-Lab, where over 100 projects run by internal staff have been initiated since 2012. TipTalk is one of nine to be broken out as a full external startup. As smartwatches take hold, many horological hardliners are sticking to their traditional watches with renewed fervor. So the arrival

Microsoft's cloud data centers Microsoft and the Software Defined Data Center Microsoft's Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) vision has taken a long time to come to fruition. Born as part of its dynamic data center model, it's taken more than a decade to become a set of shipping products. The numbers for Microsoft's cloud are impressive: over a million servers and more than a hundred sites around the world. So if we're going inside one, it might be an idea to start with some statistics. ·           1989: Microsoft opens its first datacenter on its Redmond, Washington campus. ·           200-plus: The number of online services delivered by Microsoft's datacenters 24x7x365. ·           $15 billion-plus: Microsoft's investment in building its cloud infrastructure. ·           30 trillion-plus: The number of data objects stored in Microsoft datacenters. ·           1.5 million-plus: The average number of requests its networks proce

Faraday FFZERO1 Over the years I've seen a lot of concept EVs at a lot of motor shows from a lot of companies that were never heard from again, little startups making big promises about big cars with big wings. Undelivered promises, for the most part. And so, it's easy for me to look at the unveiling of the radical Faraday Future FFZERO1 here at the International   CES   in Las Vegas and see just another far-fetched idea from an idealistic company with ambitions broader than its budget.    But that doesn't seem to be the case here -- and that's despite no lack of ambition.
