Elon Musk Takes Shot at Google Says Camera Isn't 'Innocent'.

The standalone physical digital camera that Google unveiled alongside the Pixel 2 smartphones last week, uses machine learning to determine when is a good time to take a picture or record a clip. The company received applause for the device when an executive onstage demonstrated the features of Clips. But it's safe to assume that at least one person isn't a big fan of Google's new camera: Elon Musk.

 

Google Clips uses machine learning and doesn't take a picture or record a clip until it sees faces it recognises. The device has been designed to capture the special moments that people often miss out as they rush to make it to the before the camera before the timer ticks off.

The billionaire and chief executive of Tesla took a jab at Google's new camera over the weekend, saying the device doesn't even pretend to have good intentions. In a response to a video of Clips posted by the Verge, Musk wrote, "This doesn't even seem innocent". For instance, the Google Clips lights up whenever it is recording a video or taking a picture, a feature that will ensure people are aware they are being recorded. The machine learning that Google employs to find the best time to capture a shot also happens on the device itself, the company said.Musk returns the favour by not shying away from expressing what he truly feels about things and people.

এবার হৃদযন্ত্র থেকে তৈরি হবে পাসওয়ার্ড

ফেসিয়াল বা ফিঙ্গারপ্রিন্ট কম্পিউটার আইডেনটিফিকেশন টেকনোলজির কথা বেমালুম ভুলে যান। মার্কিন গবেষকেরা সম্প্রতি নতুন কম্পিউটার নিরাপত্তা ব্যবস্থা আবিষ্কার করেছে, যা মানুষের হৃদ্‌যন্ত্রের আকারকেই শনাক্তকরণে উপায় হিসেবে কাজে লাগাবে। নিউইয়র্কের বাফেলো বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের সহকারী অধ্যাপক ওয়েনইয়াও ইয়ু গবেষণাবিষয়ক নিবন্ধের মূল লেখক।
তাঁর কথায়, মানুষের হৃদ্‌যন্ত্র অনন্য। দুজন মানুষের হৃদ্‌যন্ত্রের আকারে কোনো মিল পাওয়া যাবে না। সাধারণত মানুষের হৃদ্‌যন্ত্রের আকার পরিবর্তন হয় না। কখনো কখনো মারাত্মক হৃদ্‌রোগ হলে তা বদলাতে পারে।
গবেষকেরা দাবি করেন, এ পদ্ধতিটি স্মার্টফোনে ব্যবহারের পাশাপাশি এয়ারপোর্টে সিকিয়রিটির কাজে লাগানো যাবে। এটি নিরাপদ ও প্রচলিত পাসওয়ার্ড বা অন্যান্য বায়োমেট্রিক পদ্ধতির চেয়ে নিরাপদ। যাঁরা প্রাইভেসি বা ব্যক্তিগত নিরাপত্তায় সচেতন, তাঁদের কম্পিউটারে এই পদ্ধতিটি নিয়ে আসতে চান তাঁরা।
গবেষক ইয়ু বলেন, বারবার লগআউট বা লগইন করাটা বিরক্তিকর। অন্যরা যাতে কম্পিউটার লগইন করতে না পারেন, এ জন্য এ পদ্ধতিতে কম মাত্রার ড্রপলার রাডার ব্যবহার করা হয়, যা হৃদ্‌যন্ত্রে নজরদারি করে। শুরুতে হার্টস্ক্যান করতে আট সেকেন্ড সময় লাগে। এরপর সিস্টেমটি হৃদ্‌যন্ত্র শনাক্ত করতে পারে সহজেই।

नई दिल्ली (जेएनएन)। बीते कुछ महीनों से चल रहीं अफवाहों और अटकलों के बाद गूगल ने आखिरकार आईफोन-8 और आईफोन-X के जवाब में Pixel 2 और Pixel 2 XL से पर्दा हटा दिया है। इन अफवाहों ने हमें यह सोचने पर मजबूर कर दिया था कि आखिर गूगल अपने नए मॉडल्स में क्या कुछ दे सकता है। लेकिन सही मायनों में एंड्रॉयड के स्तर पर ये फोन काफी शानदार नजर आ रहे हैं।

क्या हैं पिक्सल 2 के फीचर्स: छोटा पिक्सल 2 अपने पुराने मॉडल के जैसा ही दिख रहा है, जिसमें 5 इंच की ओलेड डिस्प्ले दी गई है, जो कि अब स्टीरियो स्पीकर से घिरी हुई होगी। यह एक खास सुविधा है जो कि हैडफोन जैक हटाने में मददगार साबित हुई है। यह फोन एचटीसी ने बनाया है, जिसे गूगल जल्द ही खरीदने (टेक ओवर) करने वाली है। ये तीन कलर वेरियंट ब्लैक, व्हाइट और किंडा ब्लू में उपलब्ध होगा और हां इसमें एक बड़ा बैजल दिया गया है। आप इसे खरीदने का विचार बना सकते हैं।

कैसा है पिक्सल 2 XL: इस स्मार्टफोन के अगले हिस्से पर काफी काम किया गया है। इसमें 5.5 इंच के बजाए 6 इंच की स्क्रीन दी गई है जो सबका ध्यान अपनी ओर खींचती है। यह स्क्रीन 2880 x 1440 रेजोल्यूशन (538 ppi density) के साथ पेश की गई है। इस स्क्रीन को गोरिल्ल ग्लास की प्रोटेक्शन दी गई है, जो कि सबसे मजबूत माना जाता है। जैसा कि अफवाहें जोर थीं पिक्सल 2 XL में हैडफोन जैक नहीं दिया गया है और ये 64 GB और 128GB स्टोरेज के साथ उपलब्ध है।

इन दोनों ही मॉडल्स को मेटल के साथ डिजायन किया गया है और पिछले हिस्से पर एक ग्लास पैनल दिया गया है। गूगल के इन दोनों फोन में क्या कुछ है जानिए

• स्नैपड्रैगन 835 (स्नैपड्रैगन 836 नहीं जैसा कि पहले अफवाहें थीं)
• 4GB की RAM
• 64 GB और 128 GB स्टोरेज की सुविधा
• 1920×1080 डिस्प्ले (Pixel 2)
• 2,880 x 1,440 रेजोल्यूशन Pixel 2 XL की (538 ppi)
• स्टीरियो स्पीकर्स (Stereo speakers)
• 2,700 mAh की बैटरी (Pixel 2) और 3,520 mAh की बैटरी (XL में)
• माइक्रो एसडी कार्ड के लिए कोई स्लॉट नहीं
• कोई हैडफोन जैक नहीं
• तेज चार्जिंग की सुविधा (7 घंटे की चार्जिंग 15 मिटन में)

कैसा है कैमरा: अगर कैमरे की बात करें तो गूगल ने एक बार फिर से पिक्सल में बेहतर क्वालिटी का कैमरा DxO लगाया है जिसका स्कोर 98 है। यह iPhone 8 और Note 8 के कैमरे को टक्कर देता है। इसमें 12 मेगापिक्सल सेंसर और F1.8 अपर्चर दिया गया है।

क्या है कीमत: छोटे पिक्सल की कीमत 649 डॉलर (64 GB) और 749 डॉलर (128 GB) रखी गई है। जबकि बड़े पिक्सल की कीमत 849 डॉलर (64 GB) और 949 डॉलर (128 GB) रखी गई है।

OMG: 999 डॉलर का ये एप्पल बच्चों के काम का नहीं

हाल ही में एप्पल ने अपना नया फ्लैगशिप स्मार्टफोन आईफोन एक्स लॉन्च किया था जिसकी कीमत 999 डॉलर (लगभग 65400 रुपये ) मगर क्या आप जानते हैं कि एप्पल एक्स का फेस रिकग्निजेशन सॉफ्टवेयर बच्चो के चेहरे को सपोर्ट नहीं कर रहा है। यह समस्या 13 वर्ष से कम उम्र के बच्चों के साथ आ रही है। बुधवार को एप्पल ने एक मीमो जारी करके कहा कि फेस आईडी टेक्नोलॉजी में बच्चों के चेहरे पहचानने में कुछ समस्याएं आ सकती हैं क्योंकि अभी इसका फेस आईडी फीचर पूरी तरह से विकसित नहीं हो पाया है।
एप्पल आईफोन X में कंपनी ने 5.8 इंच की सुपर रेटीना एज-टू-एज डिस्प्ले दी है। यह फोन 458 पीपीआई के साथ आएगा। मालूम हो कि यह अब तक का सबसे ज्यादा पिक्सल वाला आईफोन है। पहली बार कंपनी ने ओएलईडी डिस्प्ले का इस्तेमाल किया है। फोन में एचडीआर डिस्प्ले डॉल्बी साउंड का इस्तेमाल किया गया है।
यूजर को आईफोन X में फेस रिकॉग्निशन फीचर भी मिलता है। इसका मतलब यूजर इसे अपने चेहरे से अपलॉक कर सकेंगे। ग्लास टच के साथ लॉन्च हुए आईफोन X को 64 जीबी और 256 जीबी के दो वैरिएंट में उतारा गया है।
