Vehicles on the big screen movie is one of the important points, especially in superhero-themed movies. Usually the movie is always showing off super-fast cars or cars with futuristic look. On this golden occasion, Mercedes teamed up with the Justice League movie to bring their Gran Turismo car, AMG-Vision.

The Justice League is currently awaited by DC Universe fans. Their latest trailer featured at New York Comic Con shows some important information, except for Superman's presence that will remain a mystery.

This time Mercedes took an early start to form a partnership with Warner Bros. to showcase their concept car that previously only existed as a mere concept on the Los Angeles auto show and Vision Gran Turismo.
This car originally entered as one entry on the row of concept cars created by many manufacturers. Vision Gran Turismo is created as a container to create the designers are a place to showcase what kind of car desired by the manufacturers and what kind of performance they dreamed of.

Not infrequently the cars eventually became a concept car that really worked and displayed on the auto show, such as Nissan with GT-R 2020 Concept. Mercedes also come with AMG-Vision with a very futuristic design, but as the Vision GT car in general, this car comes with no interior.

For the Justice League, Mercedes decided to design the inside of the car. AMG-Vision that will be driven by the host Bruce Wayne is designed with a full interior, racing seat for maximum comfort and virtual dashboard to seem more futuristic. Steering design was made similar to the cars F1. In addition, to accommodate Bruce Wayne's body size, AMG-Vision should be enlarged to 110 percent.

This Gran Turismo car will first be present in the big screen movie along with the Justice League which will begin airing in American theaters starting from 17 November.

Hackers Successfully Break The Defense of SNES Classic!

                                                                 photo: forbes.com

SNES Classic sold out everywhere, even until the pre-order part was overwhelmed. This successful mini console turned out to have weaknesses until hackers-even hacked the system.

Mini variant of SNES is very targeted and favored, as well as the first NES Classic Nintendo release. The shape is very similar to the original version brought back fans in the 90s, where all-pixelated graphics are very popular. Unlike the 8-bit NES, SNES is armed with a 16-bit view that is more indulgent to the eye.
With the price of $ 80, this mini console brings the sensation of gaming seemed to be in the 90s, but with features 2017. Mini form and a very classic gamepad combined with hdmi plugs, so players can install this console on a modern TV.

Although the SNES Classic is very popular, this console has one disadvantage. If you expect a huge collection of games then you should be sorry that Nintendo only put 21 games on this console without any option to add games. Starting from the same problem as NES Classic, the hackers were back in action.
Its Called hakchi2, this tool provides an option to add SNES games. The system for adding games that originated from NES Classic was based on a similar scheme found on both mini consoles. At this moment, progress from hakchi2 is very fast, thanks to the same system on SNES and NES Classic.

In fact, Cluster as the developer behind this tool says that hakchi2 is almost ready to enter the experimental stage. Not only that, other modders have also made their own version hakchi2, but very highly recommended for the owner of SNES mini to be more patient if you want a more reliable version.

But of course, modding like this, whether using the official or not, is very dangerous considering the user could have permanently damaged the system, or more famously called brick. For owners who still want to do modding, be expected to be very careful.

Google Pixel 2 Pricing Costly? It's the Cheapest Way Feel the Exclusive Features



We are sure you will not buy a duo of its premium Pixel 2 Google it's just because it wants to try the latest Pixel launcher. Create a budget, there is an easy, cheap way, feel Pixel Launcher on Pixel 2 using the latest Nova Launcher customization.
The second generation of "Made by Google" Pixel smartphone (produced by HTC and LG), Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, was announced October 4, 2017. One of its new features, which is so far exclusive is the new version of Pixel Launcher that gets a thorough overhaul, with the identity of the search bar at the bottom of the screen.

Although not all users like his position, but can not be denied many who wondered how it feels to interact with the launcher. Buying premium duo Pixel 2 products that are high prices do not seem the best solution for all circles. Another way, you can try this one, make all Android become like Pixel 2 using the latest Nova Launcher.


1. Download the Latest Nova Launcher
First you need to download and install the latest Nova Launcher. If you already have it, just skip this point. If not, you need download it first (you can find it in play store) link: here . You can get most of the function just by using the free Nova version, but some further customization of this guide will require a paid version. Below the customization will be limited to the paid version, so you can easily decide whether it is worth it to buy just this Pixel-style look.

2.Run Nova Launcher
Now launch the app, and follow the steps mentioned in the app to set up the Launcher. No need to customize this time, because you will still adjust it later. Just make sure Nova is your default launcher when any commands appear on the screen.


3. Clean The Home Screen
The first step is you have to clear all the icons on the Nova screen. Touch and hold the icon or widget, then select remove. Continue until nothing is left.


4.Go to Nova Settings
Now, you need to go to "Nova settings" to set up the settings. Touch and hold in any part of the screen, then select "Settings". This is where we will make all the changes.

5.Gesture to Unlock Drawer
First, you can make the gesture function "swipe your finger up to open the app drawer", the same function as in Pixel 2 Launcher. To do this, select "App & Widget drawers" and then activate "Swipe to open" and disable "Swipe indicator." Now, go back to the main menu.


6.Clean The App Label
As in MIUI 9 and also Pixel 2 launcher, there is no "app label" on the Pixel 2 Launcher home screen. To get the same look, clean, and delete app labels, just select on "Desktop" then go to "Icon layout." Here, disable the "Labels" option. Now your icon will not have a label on the home screen


7.Setting the Distance between Icon
Another advantage of Nova is the customization of panels on the home screen. You can get a size like a Pixel 2 launcher this way. While still in Desktop settings, you can adjust the height and width of the home screen layer. Select "Height Padding" and select the "Medium" option. Do the same for "Width Padding." This will ensure that all the icons and widgets that you install on the home screen will eventually appear as closely as possible with the Pixel 2 launcher view.



8.Eliminate Page Indicators
It's also necessary to make Nova be like a Pixel 2 launcher. Still in Desktop settings, scroll down to find the "Indicator" option, touch there, and select "None."

9.Transparency Settings

Now, back from the Desktop to the main settings menu. Here, select "Dock," then select "Background Dock" and then set "Transparency" to 100%.


10.show Google Search Widget
Now go back to the home screen, touch and hold it there, and then select the widget. find the "Quick Search Bar" widget in the Nova Launcher section and add it to the home screen.

Oops, the size does not match your screen yet? Simply touch and hold on the widget, and select the "Resize" option. Now, change the widget size to fit the width of your home screen.


11.Replace Icon For Pixel Like
Unfinished, now touch and hold on widgets, but this time, select the "Edit" option. In the "Bar Style" section select the first option. Now scroll down to find "Style Logo" and select the color "G" icon. Still in the same options, you can enable "Search as overlay". That way you get a smooth animation effect like in Pixel 2 launcher.

12.Install Wallpaper Pixel 2
Now go back to home, and and drag the Google search widget to the bottom of the screen, according to its position in the Pixel 2 launcher. Now add your favorite app icon on top of the search widget to design your own home screen. Also, download the default Pixel 2 wallpaper and set it as your default Nova home screen wallpaper to give it a look like the original Pixel 2.
you can download from: here

13.Add a Pixel 2 Calendar Widget
There is one more thing to do. You need to add a cool widget, "At a glance widget," which will show you a calendar event, as well as other information like time and weather. To do so, first, download the "Business Calendar 2" app from the Play Store link: here. Now, launch the app, then set its permissions.

14.Add the Business Calendar Widget
Now, on the home screen, touch and hold an empty section, then select the widget option and add the Business calendar 2 widget on your home screen. Continue by setting the size, as you did with the Google search widget first press briefly to resize it to fit the width of the screen. When you're done resizing, click the gear / settings icon on the top right of the widget.


Continue by selecting the option "Colors" then set opacity to 0%, and save the settings. The widget will not look exactly the same as in the launcher Pixel 2, but quite close to it. We think that the most important function, which works well.

You can see below, the left image is the original Pixel 2 home launcher view, and the right one is the latest Nova Launcher customization
Since Pixel 2 Launcher is also based on Android Oreo, you get functions like "Notification Dots," this is a small indicator on the icon that indicates if there is a notification for the application. Unfortunately, for our customization this time, you can get the same features just by accusing the paid version of Nova Launcher Prime link:here

After purchasing the Prime version, you can get an immediate option to enable this Notification Dots (which is also explained to make Nova launchers to be like Android O).


Comparison of the above is not similar, but the same function. And that's all thanks to Nova Launcher. Talk to this launcher, recently TeslaCoil Software as the developer announced if their launcher application has been downloaded to more than 50 million times.

Not surprisingly, this is one of the most favorite launchers. Even the developers always managed to bring the latest Android OS features. Start with icon customization, choose app drawer style, customize Google search bar, and even you can activate Google Feed (Google Assistant) with gesture to right from home screen (like Pixel, Nexus, or other Android that integrates Google app ).

Face ID on New iPhone X Can Be Replicated Two Years Again



New features of the iPhone are often imitated soon after Android is released. But for the Face ID camera takes a long time.

Analyst KGI Securities Ming-Chi Kuo had time to estimate takes about 1 - 2 years for Android vendors to bring the TrueDepth camera used in the Face ID feature. But the estimate was revised to two and a half years.

This is after Kuo witnessed the technical demonstration of the TrueDepth camera in detail. Therefore he then believes it took longer for Android phone vendors to imitate the same capabilities.

Thanks to TrueDepth technology this will bring Apple to be the leader in mobile technology throughout 2018 and 2019. Kuo so have full confidence in iPhone growth over the next few years.

That is why, KGI Securities revised the sales forecast of iPhone X throughout 2017. Initially they only estimate the brand-new Apple phone that sold 30 million units, but now to 35 million units.

To note, because the iPhone X is not equipped with Touch ID, then Apple presents Face ID for device security. Interestingly, Apple's FaceID feature is claimed to be much more secure than its fingerprint sensor. When the Touch ID has a 1: 50,000 error rate, then the Face ID is better, ie 1: 1,000,000.

This feature will automatically scan and confirm the user's identity without having to press the button. In order to have this capability, Face ID uses multiple artificial neural networks built into neural engines in the A11 Bionic processor to process face recognition data.

In the scanning process, Apple equips the iPhone X with TrueDepth Camera to deeply mapping faces, thus getting a detailed overview of all user faces.

With these supplies plus the intelligence processor A11 Bionic, Apple claims the iPhone X is very safe. It's hard for someone to forge face scanning through photos and more.

So what if the user is using glasses or growing a beard on the face? Face ID can still recognize. This feature mapping 30,000 points in the user's face, so it can adjust the face changes over time.

So whether you wear glasses, have different haircuts or become thinner than before, Face ID still recognize. Even when you do makeup that makes the display change even this feature still recognize. At least, that's the theory.

Related function, in addition to open the phone and keep the security of iPhone X, Face ID have other capabilities. Users can use Face ID for Apple Pay payment.

In addition, the TrueDepth Camera feature captures and analyzes more than 50 different muscle movements. Furthermore users can express themselves with 12 animoji, there are pandas, cats, aliens and others

Chinese Scientists Discover New Internet Connectivity Use Light, Ready to Replace Wi-Fi


Technology scientists in China have successfully developed a new Internet connectivity method known as Li-Fi


Through this connectivity, users no longer perform data transfer via traditional radio frequency, but through the light.

Citing the People Daily, this latest development has been busy discussed by scientists since 2011.

However, until now, the latest technology has not been developed further for use in large-scale internet connections.

"Scientists around the world are still doing this. We are the first to successfully create them using cost-effective raw materials, such as urea with simple processing, "said Qu Songnan, a researcher from Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Meanwhile, a team of researchers from the Shanghai Institute of Technical Physics and The Chinese Academy of Scientist continues to develop Li-Fi connectivity and has experienced rapid growth in recent months.

Through research conducted, four computers can be connected to the internet via an LED light bulb. With this Li-Fi, data can be transferred via light waves.

During the China International Industry Fair held in Shanghai on 5 November, will be displayed ten samples of Li-Fi that can be tested to the public.

Li-Fi can be a great find for the Chinese Internet community, which is the largest community with a total number of connections reaching 600 million connections.

Unlike sound waves, light can not penetrate the wall and can be removed by a large obstacle or even a closed door.

Currently not yet clear how fast internet connection via Li-Fi later. But predicted, the speed can reach 150 megabits per second, which is faster than the average internet speed in China.
