HTC One A9 is latest smartphone from HTC and the first non-Nexus device to launch with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The handset is supposed to freshen up the HTC portfolio and give another chance of the otherwise struggling One lineup.

 

The HTC One A9 is built around a 5" AMOLED screen of 1080p resolution and is the first to run on the Snapdragon 617 chip. The SoC employs an octa-core processor with four Cortex-A53 cores at 1.5GHz and another four A53 ticking at 1.2GHz, Adreno 405 GPU and 2 or 3 GB of RAM depending on the version.

 

HTC says it designed the One A9 from scratch, blending signature elements of its previous phones, such as the antenna stripes on the back. The A9's unibody is made entirely of metal, with 2.5D Gorilla Glass 4 protective glass shielding the entire front.

Steven Spielberg Masterpiece starring Michael J. Fox "Back to the Future" movie was showing how the world should have been like nowadays. We already saw the Lexus Hoverboard that was released in the past copule months. Today, Nike has announced they will be making replica Marty McFly trainers with self-tying laces (that appeared on the 2nd part of the movie).

 

In 2011, Nike released replica trainers called Nike Mag, however they disappointed fans and movie geeks by not featuring the self-lacing ability. Yesterday, Nike and Michael J. Fox responded. The Michael J. Fox Foundation tweeted images and videos of Fox wearing the trainers, saying, "This is real. This is today. Coming spring 2016."

 

 

The profits will also go towards a good cause. The proceeds will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the charity and interest group dedicated to raising awareness and money to find a cure for Parkinson's disease. Fox is perhaps the most high-profile person who has Parkinson's, however it's estimated 6.3 million people suffer from the disease worldwide.

 

Nike also hopes the shoes will have a practical function - self-lacing shoes could be a massive help for those with disabilities who find tying shoes difficult.

If you to drink Coffee, Tea and any other HOT drink, you may have faced this issue before. In cold days your hot drink will get cold fast particularly if you're distracted by other tasks during your morning routine. Well, the solution is here California-based Ember Technologies has developed a connected coffee mug that is claimed to keep your beverage hotter for longer, with users able to set the temperature through a companion smartphone app or a twist of the mug's base.

 

 

"Ember" a 12-ounce (350 ml) Smart-mug that can be controlled from your smartphone, it keeps your drink in the temperature preferred and displays this temperature on an OLED display at the bottom of the mug. How it works ? It uses a Phase-change materials shift from one state to another when exposed to different temperatures. So when hot, they may change from solid to a liquid and absorb and store heat in the process. And then when cooled again, they may change back to a solid and release this heat, for example.

 

 

And with all these advanced coffee cups around, it was surely just a matter of time before somebody built an app to go with them. By connecting with a smartphone over Bluetooth LE, Ember offers some features you can certainly do without, but a few pretty practical ones as well.

 

 

But if you find all that fiddling around in the app is more trouble than it's worth, Ember's temperature can simply be adjusted with a rotating dial just below the small display indicating the temperature. And to refuel, the mug is placed on a wireless charging pad, which doubles as a coaster and restores it to a full charge in 1.5 hours.

 

 

Ember is currently the subject of an Indiegogo campaign, where an early pledge of $109 will put you in line for one if everything goes as planned. Shipping is slated for April,2016.
