Are you afraid of losing your iPhone? This might help you

DSCF2425
I was surprisingly impressed when I tested out Motiv’s fitness ring. Honestly, I’m not a ring wearer myself, but it’s nice to see a hardware startup think outside the fitness band — and produce a surprisingly capable product in the process. The company’s also done a pretty decent job continuing to add features to the little wearable.
Back in April, the ring got Alexa functionality and Android support. This week, the company announced some additional features for Amazon’s smart assistant, along with the ability to use the device to locate a lost phone. That last bit is one of the more compelling additions to the ring since launch. If the lost iPhone is within Bluetooth range, a few twists of the ring will set the handset ringing and vibrating until you find the thing.
As for Alexa functionality, users can now ask the assistant for more detailed fitness information, including active minutes, calories, sleep and steps. Motiv has also added new social functionality to the ring, in the form of Circles, which lets users share activity feed with friends who also use the ring.
None are particularly earth-shattering in and of themselves, but it’s nice to see the startup continuing to introduce innovative new features for the hardware.

Haikyu!! ハイキュー!! - season 1 Review

Well, that was something. While I was stuck amid mediocrity with my life, I took my brother's advice to watch a sports anime. And particularly "Haikyu!". For starters let me give you the background check here: the manga is written by Haruichi Furudate and was published by Shueisha. The individual chapters were serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since 2012. And as of now, the manga has sold over 25 Million copies. While now, it's the post is about the first season. So let's get that rolling. The season is set to a humble beginning of a middle schooler  Shoyo Hinata, who eats-drinks & sleeps through volleyball. It'd be perfect if I say he's sort-of obsessed with the game not-to-mention his undying love & respect for the Kurasuno's legendary player called "The Little Giant". Now the sad part about his love for the game is, his middle school doesn't have enough volleyball-fanatics so up until his middle school 3rd year, he...

softbank invested 2.25 billion dollar on cruise, Here's why!

SoftBank   landed on Cruise because it’s one of “a handful that in our view have a meaningful opportunity in front of them,” SoftBank Vision Fund Managing Partner Michael Ronen told TechCrunch. Cruise’s integrated play of hardware and software attracted SoftBank, Ronen said, as well as the fact that Cruise’s spirit, creativity and energy “has not been diminished at all.” These investments are expected to enable Cruise to deploy commercially starting next year. But what’s most important about this investment to Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt, he told TechCrunch, is the fact that Cruise — which sold to GM for more than $1 billion in 2016 — now has stock and equity in the company again. That’s because “we’re in a war right now to attract the greatest minds in the world to work on this,” Vogt told me. And in order to keep those great minds on board and continue attracting new ones, Vogt said he wants to give them a chance to “participate in the value we create.” “From my standp...
