Elephone U-Disk Is A Secure USB Flash Drive With Fingerprint Sensor Elephone, a leading Chinese smartphone manufacturer has decided to expand its product line-up by introducing a new product – a fingerprint encryption U-Disk that will be released soon. Called the Elephone U-Disk, it is a normal USB stick that comes with a full-sized fingerprint reader on the body of the device, which cannot be opened until fingerprint is used to unlock it.

Replacing Android and Chrome OS in one go? With Android and Chrome OS, Google already has its fair share of operating systems to work on, but there's apparently another coming down the pipe: Android Police spotted a reference to Fuchsia ("a new operating system") in some code left on GitHub. Unlike Chrome OS and Android, Fuchsia won't be based on Linux, and that suggests Google wants it to be able to run on devices of every size, shape and scale - think smart thermostats, car dashboards and wearables, where the Linux kernel can be overkill. It would still be able to run on smartphones and computers, and based on the code that's available it looks like there are some advanced security and graphics features being prepped here. Of course with no official word from Google we're just speculating. Pink and purple are the colours For non-horticulturists, fuchsias are a type of flowering plant covering almost 110 species. We'll leave you to decid...

While my laptop charger has never bugged me, but I always felt strange at times to see a bump in my laptop charger right after it connects to the laptop. I always use to wonder why the charger has a bump and what purpose does it serve? You normally see these “bumps” on the mouse, keyboard and monitor cables in a typical computer system found in a home or office. You can also find them on power supply wires when a device (like a printer or scanner) uses an external transformer. It turns out that these bumps are called ferrite bead. It may also be called blocks, core, rings, EMI (electromagnetic interference) filters, or chokes. A ferrite bead has the property of eliminating broadcast signals and prevents energy loss of the same type within the charger. This makes the charger much more effective and helps charge your computer more quickly. Their purpose is to reduce EMI ...
