What to say when your friend flaunts their new shoes…
Can they charge your phone? Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have developed technology capable of harvesting power through movement. The technology is small enough to fit into Nike Air sneakers so the next time you play b-ball you’ll be charging on the courts.. literally. It’s capable of charging your tablet and other small devices too.
The technology is made possible by using a “bubbler” device which contains a conductive liquid and two separate metal plates. Each shoe is capable of producing up to 10 watts of power, in comparison a smartphone takes 2 watts of power to charge. Researchers are trying to commercialize the technology through startup company InStep NanoPower. For the #EpicWin…picture if you will…Back to the Future Nikes with charging mechanisms, neon lights and automatic laces. (Source MSN)
Snowden Sends Mega Diss to Kanye
Kanye West likes to re-read his tweets for bedtime stories. Yeezy went on a Twitter rampage urging fans to subscribe to the music service Tidal, which had fans laughing since the service is a completely pay-for service. Edward Snowden couldn’t help but poke fun at West’s rampage tweeting to the rapper “please clap” the infamous line from presidential hopeful Bush’s campaign.
West continued his rampage, requesting Mark Zuckerberg call him tomorrow and donate one billion dollars for development in “Kanye West Ideas” -whatever those are. Kanye claims he’s the Steph Curry of music but he might also top the list for #DigitalReputationFails.. Concerned about your #DigitalReputation – check it out here. (Source Mashable)
Hackers Take Over Hospitals..
Yep that’s correct. The internal computer networking system at the Presbyterian Medical Center in Hollywood California has been encrypted by malicious ransomware. Hackers are requesting $3.6 million to decrypt patient records, hospital data and all that jazz. The network has been down for over a week, and hospital personnel have had to turn to stone age methods like fax machines, paper products and land lines to get work done.
It hasn’t been determined what kind of ransomware infected the network, or exactly how they got access, but it was most likely due to hospital personnel opening up a malicious link. Doh.. Hackers are invading faster than predators on Independence Day. Learn how to save yourself with 10 Ways to Protect Against Hackers. #HaltTheHackers (Source The Verge)
