Wearables to fuel massive surge in mobile data use by 2019
The rapidly growing popularity of wearable devices will lead to a surge in volume of mobile traffic, Cisco is predicting.Cisco forecasts that 578 million wearable devices will be in use around the globe by 2019, up from 109 million last year. That's a fivefold increase, but the resulting mobile data traffic will increase by a factor of 18—though most of that traffic will be channeled through smartphones, the networking giant claimed Tuesday in its annual look ahead at traffic trends.Some wearables, like the upcoming Apple Watch, require using a smartphone to transmit data. But the devices on average already generate six times more traffic per month than a basic handset, Cisco said. Its high-end example of a wearable is a GoPro video cameras, which can generate about 5 MB of mobile data traffic per minute when live streaming.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
The Raspberry Pi 2 is more powerful, but you still get what you pay for
The Raspberry Pi 2 packs more memory and a faster processor than its predecessor, which is enough to turn it into a more functional PC, but don't expect any miracles: It's still a $35 product.The Raspberry Pi 2 was launched on Monday at an event in London, and is a big step forward. That's because it has twice the amount of memory -- 1GB of RAM -- as the Pi 1, and is powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex A7 processor running at 900MHz, which is much more powerful that then Pi 1's 700MHz single core ARM processor.These upgrades are enough to turn the Pi 2 into a usable PC, according to Eben Upton, Raspberry Pi founder and CEO. Even though the original model could be used as a PC, you had to make excuses for it because of the limited hardware capacity, but that is no longer the case with the Pi 2, Upton said.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

Apple's iPhone 6 Plus: Big enough to crush iPad sales
I'm a big fan of phablets, and based on Apple's best-ever fourth quarter results, so are a whole lot of other people. While many observers have whined that the iPhone 6 Plus is comically large, too big to carry around and use comfortably, my biggest complaint about the device was that I didn't think it was quite big enough to replace a real tablet.Apparently, we were all wrong. The iPhone 6 Plus—along with its companion iPhone 6—sold like gangbusters in the last quarter of 2014, so much so that the device seems to have taken significant market share away from Apple's own iPad, which suffered yet another sales decline:To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More

6 Ways You're Annoying People on Instagram
One of the best, and most important, things about social media is that there are no hard and fast rules. Social media is what you make of it, and there's no right or wrong way to use it.However, some social networks are better suited for certain activities than others. Instagram has more than 300 million users who share around 70 million photos and videos each day. That's a lot of random media, and it's easy to get caught up in the sea of content swirling around the platform. It's also important not to confuse Instagram with other social networks that are designed to capture and store everything about our digital lives.
