Wiki Recap 4/25/13

A good topic for a wiki could be famous basketball player. You could branch out the player, their stats, number of rings, if numbers were retired, what teams they played for, and what years did they play from. I believe that about 5-7 bullets would be reasonable for each page.

Kobo launches Aura HD, highest resolution eReader on the market

The Kobo is not as popular as the nook or the kindle but this machine is pretty impressive. Kobo has recently revealed their newest device, the Aura HD. This machine has a 1440 x  1080 resolution, making it the largest eReader reader as of now. This device is on the larger side of eReaders, but defiantly on the lighter side.

Microsoft Office for Android and iPad coming ... in late 2014?

Just incase your computer crashes and you have a project due the next day, well they are fortunately coming out with a Microsoft on Android and the iPad. Microsoft Office will be coming out hopefully by the end of  October of 2014. Microsoft Office on the iPad and android will have all the same features of the computer version. I think that the iPad will become very popular because then people who work and need Microsoft can just use the iPad.

My Spring Break

     During my spring break I basically just played basketball the entire week. Most days I went out for about the whole day. Some days I just stayed home and played in my backyard instead of going out. Last Saturday we had a game in West wood,  but we got killed. We lost to a club team by about 30.

Review: Black Diamond III Bluetooth Speaker

      If you want a Bluetooth loudspeaker to stream music from your phone or player, the marketplace is somewhat nice with the choices they give you. To be noticed, manufactures must add something extra, such as being able to change shape. All generations of the black diamond speaker look very similar, but each generation gets more useful.

iPhone 5 vs. iPhone 4S vs. iPhone 4

      Rather than complicating its product lineup with an "iPhone Lite," Apple is now selling last year's iPhone 4S for $100 and 2010's iPhone 4 for free. The iPhone 5 is longer and thinner than its identical-looking iPhones. This means that it's more comfortable to hold, and it practically disappears in a pocket. The iPhone 5 could have easily been called the iPhone Air. The two older models feel like paperweights after using the incredibly light iPhone 5.

Sensor-Packed 94Fifty Basketball Gives Feedback to the Coach and Players

 

          "Practice makes perfect." It's an the old expression that Info Motion is aiming to build on with some new technology. The 94Fifty practice basketball uses six built-in sensors to give players  feedback data to help identify what parts of their game they need to work on the most and where the players are lacking skills. The ball is able to measure things such as how accurately and quickly the player is shooting, the amount of arc on a shot, the quality of release and backspin, and the force and speed of a dribble. The idea is that players just use the ball to practice as they normally would, but receive feedback in more detail than us people can see.

HTC One Vs. iPhone 5

 

 

         Three years ago, one of Apple’s prime competitors from the Android side of the pond was the HTC EVO 4G. How times have changed. While Apple and Samsung duke it out at the top of the smartphone heap, HTC’s profits have dropped off the face of the earth. But everyone loves a good comeback story, and HTC is pulling out all the stops with its new flagship. There are many differences between the two phones. One example is the size, and another is the weight.

Do Now 2/19

        If I was a teacher my class would be lacrosse. I would teach lacrosse because I play lacrosse with my cousin because he plays on a college team. He teaches me how to play, so I could teach others how to play. My class would be after school because there would be a lot time and it wouldn't interfere with anybody's work. This class would be optional so that people could have time for other after school activities if they don't like lacrosse. There would be many kids playing lacrosse and just doing basic drills. If this class is successful then it could possibly lead to a school team.

Power Up 3.0 Lets You Control a Paper Airplane

With Your Smartphone

      It is a capacitor joined to a propeller by a carbon fiber shaft,  that can be used to power a user-supplied paper airplane.At the time, we suggested that it would be good if the user could actually steer the Power Up-powered plane by remote control. With the soon-to-be-released Power Up 3.0, it turns out, that’s just what they’ll be able to do.

 mistakes that kids will make. There will be two generations of this pen. The first generation,
