1. GET SOME MONEY BY USING BING SEARCH ENGINE: MICROSOFT IS PAYING USERS TO SEARCH WITH BING OVER GOOGLE:-

 If you want to earn some money online in simple way at home then Microsoft will help you in this. You can earn money just by using Microsoft's Bing which is an search engine and Microsoft will give you an reward search points.

In an effort to lure in more users to use Bing instead of the widely popular Google, software giant Microsoft has now introduced a new 'Reward' scheme. Under this scheme, the company will reward users for using Bing with points, which can later be exchanged for charity donations or freebies available on the Microsoft Store.

Microsoft explains, "On Bing.com, Level 1 members can earn points for up to 10 searcher a day and Level 2 members can earn points for up to 50 searches a day (30 PC, 20 Mobile). The search limit resets everyday, so you can start earning again tomorrow."

At the moment, the Microsoft 'Reward' scheme is available in UK. Other countries such as France, Germany and Canada will receive it in the coming months too.

2. YOU WILL GET AN DNA - BASED COMPUTERS BY YEAR 2020: MICROSOFT'S PLAN:- 

 First, lets go and find out what is DNA computing ? DNA Computing, the performing of computations using biological molecules rather than traditional silicon chips. The idea that individual molecules (or even atoms) could be used for computation dates to 1959, when American physicist 'Richard Feynman' presented his ideas on Nanotechnology. However, DNA computing was not physically realized until 1994, when American computer scientist 'Leonard Adleman' showed how molecule could be used to solve a computational problem.

In DNA computing, information is represented using the four-character genetic alphabet [A (adenine)], [G (guanine)], [C (cytosine)] and [T (thymine)] rather than the binary alphabet (1 and 0) used by traditional computers. This is achievable because short DNA molecules of any arbitrary sequences may be synthesized to order.

Scientists estimate that DNA could hold 455 exabytes of data in all. An exabyte equals a quintillion bytes or 1billion gigabytes. Since DNA is so densely packed, you could fit all the world's informatio on four grams (0.14 oz.) of DNA, a mere teaspoon full. DNA allows nature to jam-pack a lot of information into a tiny space. It's fortunate that the nucleotide bases that make up DNA can easily be converted into binary code. Here, "A" (adenine) and "C" (cytosine) represent 0, and "G" (guanine) and "T" (thymine) represent 1.

Just four nucleotide are mere atoms wide. So you get the sense of how much you can pack in at this scale. We should be able to get one zettabyte, or a trillion gigabytes of storage, out of DNA in all, a mind-boggling figure.

Now, Microsoft Research has announced that it will usher in an operational DNA-based computer by 2020. The plan is, according to partner architect Doug Carmean, a "proto-commerical system in three years storing some amount of data on DNA in one of our data centers, for at least a boutique application." So you maybe storing your information in a DNA-based cloud in the beginning of the next decade.

3. NOW YOUR iPHONE WILL NEVER RUN OUT OF STORAGE WITH iOS 11:-

Apple has introduced its new iOS platform 'iOS 11' with some of the great feature in it. One of the advantage that you'll get in iOS 11 is that you will never run out of storage. At WWDC 2017 Apple announced iOS 11, and with it a slew of space-saving features for smaller devices. On iOS 11 the feature is called Offload Unused Apps, when storage is running low, the Offload feature removes little-used apps, but keeps their documents and data on your device. The deleted apps appear as grayed-out icons on the home screen, and can be reinstalled with a tap. If you are currently using the iOS 11 beta, you can find the Offload Unused Apps feature by opening the Settings app, and tapping on General. From there, tap iPhone Storage.

You don't have to suffer the scourge of running out of storage if you play your card right. If you get some offsite storage, clear some older apps, and listen to your phone when it tells you to drop some texts, and you'll never have to worry about running out of space again.

From many past years, Apple's iPhone were one of the best smartphones but it has only one problem in it which is storage, but now it seems like iOS 11 will ease up this problem and make it easier to manage the smartphone's internal storage.

Apple introduced its iOS 11 along with the watchOS 4 and macOS High Sierra at its WWDC 2017 keynote event. The developer preview of the brand-new iOS 11 is already available and the first public beta will arrive later this month. The final version will be arriving later this year on eligible devices.

4. VR IS CHANGING THE WORLD AND IT LOOKS LIKE SONY IS GOING TO HAVE A BIG HAND IN IT:-

Sony has sold more than one million Virtual Reality (VR) headsets, the company has said.   

President of Sony Interactive Entertainment Atsushi Morita said "sales had exceeded our expectations". The headset, at $399, is cheaper than rival devices from Facebook and HTC. According to research company IDC, about two million VR headsets were shipped worldwide in the first three months of 2017.

Mr Morita has high hopes for the technology, he said "I believe that VR technology is the greatest innovation since the birth of television. VR allows you to travel to World Heritage sites or to space while staying at home. It's like a time machine or a door to anywhere."

The reason behind why Sony is currently on VR is, according to Piers Harding Rolls, a gaming analyst at research company IHS Markit. "Sony PlayStations VR is leading sales in the high-end sector because it is cheaper, but also because of Sony's addressable market of 60 million PS4 consoles", he said.
Playstation VR owners have purchased 5.25 million VR games up to date. According to Sony, the average session is 25 minutes per person. Even though the company sells the headset for gaming, Sony Pictures is bringing the famous series Breaking Bad to the PSVR.

The sales momentum supports analysts' view that Sony is in a good position to build an early lead in the high-end VR headset race with its more modest price tag and by tapping the nearly 60 million users of its flagship PlayStation 4 console.

The headset, designed to work with the PlayStation 4 rather than requiring new equipment, retails at US $399, cheaper than Facebook's US $599 Oculus Rift and HTC's US $799 Vive.

1. AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CAN PREDICT HOW LONG YOU'LL LIVE:-

AI (Artificial Intelligence) has become the big platform in development of today's technology, day by day it is changing the world and it has now also started working with medical science. 
         
With some hard work and research Australian Scientist have built an artificial intelligence system that can predict if  you will die soon by looking at images of your organs. Researchers at University of Adelaide used AI to analyse the medical imaging of 48 patient's chests. The system was able to predict which patients would die over the next five years with about 69% accuracy. Based on deep learning, the AI draws conclusions based on large repositories of data previously fed into it.
      
"Although for this study only a small sample of patients was used, our research suggests that the computer has learned to recognise the complex imaging appearances of diseases, something that requires extensive training for human experts," said lead author Dr Luke Oakden-Rayner.

The AI could be very helpful to future medical machine learning software as most of the current system can only diagnose diseases and cannot able to predict death and it is also time consuming. But AIs such as the one used by the researchers can determine the health of an organ much faster, helping doctor create detailed treatment plans.

"Instead of focusing on diagnosing diseases, the automated systems can predict medical outcomes in a way that doctors are not trained

to do, by incorporating large volumes of data and detecting subtle patterns," said Oakden-Rayner.

This all can tell how AI can be very useful in future, now it is only predicting the death by observing the human organ but in developing technology it may can tell the exact date of  death of an human being.

2. NOW INTERNET ACCESS IS POSSIBLE ON MOUNT EVEREST:-

Internet has now become the big platform of the human knowledge and it is now getting important to get connected with this platform of knowledge. But what we can do for the high altitude places like MOUNT EVEREST ? Tsering G. Sherpa, CEO of EVEREST LINK, has started the wifi services on mountains of  Nepal, including on Everest. Think if you can WI-FI on Mount Everest, then you can probably get it anywhere on Earth.

But the story of how a company got the internet to Everest is just as interesting. More than 1,600 climbers have had internet access while on Everest. In the region, Everest Link provides more than 200 Wi-Fi hot spots in more than 40 villages. The company connects  34,000 locals and more than 40,000 tourists each year.

"It took us a couple of attempts to get established, beginning with low-cost Wi-fi equipment, and then progressing from 802.11b to g," Sherpa said. "At the moment, we're connected to the Everest base  camp. There, at 5,320 meters altitude, we have a solar-powered cnPilot E500 outdoor Wi-Fi hot spot,".

Everest Link is also starting a distance learning program in some schools since few teachers are available in the remote Himalayas. High-speed connectivity links those schools, as well as every hotel in the region.

3. INDIA AGAIN GOT THE WONDERFUL SUCCESS IN SPACE SCIENCE BY LAUNCHING ITS GIANT 'MONSTER' ROCKET:- 

India has always being the creative country of the world and today it has proved it once again: Today, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)  successfully lauched its 640 ton GSLV-Mk III ROCKET carrying the GSAT-19 communications satellite on it. 

GSLV-Mk III, which The Indian Express recently called a "monster" rocket, certainly lives up to its nickname. The 141 foot (43m) rocket is allegedly as heavy as 200 full-grown Asian elephants, which is an adorable and very useful way to measure thing.

"The GSLV-MKIII D1/GSAT-19 mission takes India closer to the next generation launch vehicle and satellite capability" Indian prime minister Narendra Modi tweeted after the launch. "The nation is proud!"

4. THE STUDY SAYS: PLAYING TWO HOURS OF VIDEO GAMES MAKES YOU MORE EMPLOYABLE:-

Now playing game for too long is not bad at all, now you can get more profit playing games, playing video games for two hours a week could make you more employable, a study has found.
     
The Glasgow University research suggests that playing games such as Minecraft and Lara Croft can help young people a develop key skills. Matt Barr, a lecturer in Information Studies, said his findings suggests that modern video games can encourage players to think critically and solve problems, the types of qualities that are seen as useful for graduates.

They turned on the study on small scale, which involved 36 undergraduates split into two different groups. The first was a control group while the second group of 16 students were asked to play 8 video games including Borderlands 2, Minecraft and Lara Croft, under controlled conditions, logging 14 hours of play in total over an eight-week period. 

The results showed that the group that played the games showed improvements on communication, adaptability and resourcefulness scales, compared to the control group.
 Mr Barr said: "Modern video games often require players to be adaptable and resourceful, and finding multiple ways of accomplishing a task. The way games are designed often encourages critical thinking and reflective learning, commonly cited as desirable attributes in graduates."
 He added: "My research is perhaps what every parent may or, in the case of some, may not like to hear."

"This work demonstrates that playing commercial video games can have a positive effect on communication ability, adaptability and resourcefulness in adult learners, suggesting that video games may have a role to play in higher education."
"The study also suggests that graduate skills may be improved in a relatively short amount of time, with the gains reported here achieved over a period of eight weeks and representing just 14 hours of game play. Certainly, the results of the randomised  controlled trial described here suggest that the popular discourse around games alleged ill effects should be tempered by considerations of the potential positive outcomes of playing video games."
