I say to you friend, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!

Am confuse here.

Counterpoint data shows that Apple sold more handsets(74 million) than Samsung in the fourth quarter of 2014; thus took the position of the South Korean tech giant. Strategy Analytics says the two phone makers were neck and neck in the same period with the two companies shipping same number of handsets and held 19% market share.

Internet of things: Wearable devices to protect, to save and to serve

In  a  more  industrial  setting,  developers  can  build  apps  for  wearables  that  increase  worker  efficiency  and  ensure  safety.  

Many  police  departments  in  North  America  are  using  body-­‐mounted  cameras  connected  to  the  Internet  to  record  interactions  with  the  public.  The  deployments  serve  as  a  protection  against  accusations  of  questionable  police  tactics  and  as  evidence  in  the  case  of  an  arrest.

The Internet of Me: How Wearable Tech is Changing the Internet of Things

Imagine  jogging  along  your  favorite  trail  when  suddenly  you  feel  a  shortness  of  breath  and  a  painful  squeeze  in  your  chest.  You  stop…  and  with  a  flick  of  a  finger,  you  instantly  notify  emergency  responders  of  your  situation  and  your location.  At  the  same  time,  the  notification  alerts  your  doctor  of  the  incident  and  sends  your  vital  statistics.  What  enables  all  of  this  information  to  be  gathered  and  transported  to  the  right  place  is  the  combination  of  sensors  and  connectivity  provided  by  the  devices  that  make  up  the  wearable  Internet  of  Thing.

Copycat !Future iPhones and MacBooks may soon track eye movements to control UI elements.

Apple eye tracking technology patent
I have said it so many a time that Samsung is way ahead of Apple, but you guys find it so hard to agree with me. Apple's visual control technology patent is somewhat similar to the smart scroll feature on the Galaxy S4. Yes, the S4 for that matter. The Smart Scroll feature uses the front camera to sense when you are looking at your device, and it scrolls through content such as lists, webpages, and messages based on the angle you hold the device. Still in doubt? To activate Smart Scroll, from the Home screen, touch Menu Menu key > Settings Settings Shortcut > My device Device Settings Icon > Smart screen Smart Screen Icon > Smart scroll. Touch the slider Slider Offto turn Smart Scroll on Slider On.  Apple is just a copycat!
