How voice recognition for PCs faded

Google voice search for smartphones



How i miss those days speech recognition came in handy at the workplace.It was just priceless watching members of staff (espc. secretaries who were lucky to retain their jobs as per that time) dictate
documents  and  produce them in 1/4 of the time that they could type them.All was good till limitations happened on PCs.That was the death of mainstream speech recognition on PCs.

   Nowadays Companies like Google,Apple and Microsoft have 'rebirthed' the speech recognition style.The companies install the speech recognition software on the mobile Operating systems and this has been convenient for the end user.It has optimized most of the end users activities.However,The sad thing is that Mainstream adoption of speech recognition software on desktop PCs, has never 'reincarnated'.

But why?Because nowadays things have evolved.There are new office structures and this has made managers   perceive lack of suitability for an office environment which requires some level of serenity and also it could be  that the Personal computers in modern offices do not have enough  RAM and faster processors which has now led to more false inputs being produced.

  Well,expect more and more coming smartphones to be fitted with the speech recognition in the near future.

Remember the phrase 'Dirt is good'?Let me take you down memory lane.The phrase was associated with the Omo brand.Infact it was a communication campaign by omo dubbed 'Dirt is Good'.Kinda controversial,right?

I remember it was in '07 and the catchphrase was met with a lot of misconceptions.Majority of the people talked about omo was encouraging dirt but did the brand  mean that?Well,coming at a time when the culture of letting children go outdoors and having some fun was fading,the only way to revive the culture was to come up with a catchphrase and omo  did that  cleverly.

Omo was trying to reverse the trend(children spending time indoors watching 'toons) and encouraging them to get outdoors and get dirty.But this did not go well with majority of the public .

"What is the brand trying to imply?That Dirt is good.I would not let my child get near dirt.He'll stay indoor,"said one Mr Jamal.Another member of the public,"With the ongoing current criminal activities(kidnappings),how do you expect  my child to get outdoors?"Lyn  also had to sound off,"If the children are not getting hurt, they are messing their clothes and who knows they might get 'homa'?There were a lot of misconceptions at that time.Some even said that it was a plan by omo to increase their sales at the expense of their children's health.

What next after getting dirty?Omo offers the solution because it purges the hard to remove stains. That was when the perception of the public changed. They're started fathoming what omo was trying to push.

  All in all,omo achieved its intended mission.First step was to create a controversy to get the people talking and once the brand is on everybody's mouth,omo proceeds the next step to offer a solution or push its intended mission.What a strategy?Well played
Up to date,the campaign is one in many that has remained etched in people's minds

Eureka!!No More Crying When Cutting Onions

It's a known fact that onions are way too smelly and often make you cry while cutting them.The real struggle is staying 'tear-free' during the process of slicing and dicing the onions.

The only technique I know of which actually works for stopping the irritation of eyes when chopping onions is the use onion  Protective goggles that feature a soft foam seal inside the frame to keep out eye-stinging vapors when chopping onions.

Forget about all the other techniques like holding a wooden matchstick between your teeth,eating bread while slicing and dicing the onions. 

Another method can be reducing the internal pressure of the onion cells prior to chopping them.I always put my onions in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes,followed by quickly cutting the onions by a sharp knife and it works.

My neighbor prefers using only a sharp knife because it slices cleanly, rather than crushing the onion cells that contains juice and volatile compounds( Sulfenicacid ) known to cause  irritation to one's eyes and sinuses.

 



And again,the easiest method is to just not look at the onions while chopping it. However,you have to be really sure of your knife skills

[VIDEO TUTORIAL]Charging your Phone using your shoes



Youtube/trakinvideos

INNOVATION is KEY!!!!Now check this out.A  young man came up with a way by which you can charge your phone using your shoes.Yes your shoes.
The energy harvested when walking is enough to charge fully a phone with less functionality.The young man takes us to the process of realising that idea.

•Microchips are inserted in the
bottom/sole of the shoe.In that when you walk a distance,an adequate amount of energy is built and the chips convert the energy to electrical energy which can be used to charge a phone with less functionality.

   With ideas like this the country
can grow digitally.I believe Each and Every youth has a hidden potential which needs to be revealed and utilized fully.

Like Dr. Myles munroe said "Your future is trapped inside you,it takes the right environment and dedication to bring it out".I strongly believe that the youth have the potential in them ,it takes time to bring it out and exploit it fully. Its time to fully expose that hidden potential and utilize it to the fullest.

  One major problem I've noticed in the innovation field is the issue of inadequate funds.

       There are inadequate funds to  support  bright ideas like this or rather  innovations and also lack of global support and even inadequate platforms to nurture the ideas.

If multinationals companies can
embrace or take in this ideas from
innovative minds then we could see a world of change with life being much more comfy.

Online Strikes



What's a DDOS Attack?A DDOS Attack is in which a multitude of compromised system attack a single target,thereby causing denial of
normal service of the target.The flood of incoming messages to the target essentially forces the target subject to shut down.This type of attack is form of online strike i can comfortably say.

    Remember when there was a DDOS attacks on WordPress sites?Here is the link in case you missed .DDOS (Distributed Denial Of service)
attacks can result in Heavy losses,especially if they’re launched against the website of a company that is mainly dependent on using online service for business operations.

However, as far as hacktivist attacks are concerned, I don’t know of
any operation relying on DDOS attacks that has made a difference, one that has influenced political or business decisions.

For instance, a few years ago, Anonymous hackers launched a massive DDOS attack against
PayPal after the company decided to stop processing donations to WikiLeaks. But paypal did not change its stand on the issue.

Then there was the mega upload ddos attack.DDOS attacks were launched but mega upload site was never brought up.

Should DDOS attacks be considered legal or no?

In my view,i think These types of attacks should be treated as legal as they are a form of protesting against justices just like ‘occupy’protest.
Picture this,a business company is acting unfairly to its customers,legal means have been used to deal
with the issue but the business company is not able to stoop low to the suggestions being made.What do you do?A ddos attack is launched and after that the business will have
changed its way of operating.Feels like blackmail?From the company's
perspective.There have been massive ddos attacks in the recent past.Remember the wordpress ddos attack?

Over 160000websites were held .Another massive campaign that relied on DDOS attacks was the one launched against several US
government and anti-piracy
outfits after the shutdown of
Megaupload in January 2012. The sites of the US Department of Justice, the FBI, the White House, HADOPI, RIAA, MPAA, the Belgian Anti-Piracy Federation, and the Warner
Music Group’s websites were shut
down.

While this was one of the biggest DDOS attack operations launched by hacktivists,no one said “OK, let’s restore Megaupload because people are unhappy.”

Shortly after the  Megaupload DDOS
attacks,members of the Anonymous movement submitted a petition to the White House asking the Obama administration to make ddos attacks
legal.But the obama administration would hear none of that.However,whats peculiar is the aftermath of ddos attacks?There is always no change.Its time
ddos be taken seriously and be recognised if its done on a right purpose not a selfish purpose

Dbest Duo Bluetooth Mini Speakers

I bought this Dbest Duo bluetooth mini speakers at ksh 3000 only and so far i'm loving it.What's interesting about this pair is that they magnetically interlock at their bases to form a smart, appealing neat   little tube as you will see in the photis below, the idea being to make them easier to transport when not in use.(portability)
One can also pull them apart much better for listening to music than
speakers that might only be 2 inches apart.
It also comes with a 3.5mm stereo plug which is attached to a microUS -to-USB charging cable.

STARTING:
1)First you switch on bluetooth app on your phone and on the speaker
2)Using your phone, scan for devices so as to pair with the bluetooth on the mini speaker
3)Once its paired,you can play your music from your phone and enjoy the nirvanic moment.

CHARGING:
To charge the Duo, you need a powered USB port  plus  it comes with a microUSB-to-USB charging cable that also has a 3.5mm stereo plug, meaning you can wire it
to any player or device that lacks Bluetooth or does not play via bluetooth.

PERFORMANCE:
To be honest, I didn't expect much from such tiny speakers, but the pair impressed me with
its loud(noise cancellation), room-filling sound.The feeling that comes with it isNIRVANIC. I'm an audiophile and i strongly recommend this mini speakers 

BAD PART:
One thing i discovered about the mini speakers,too much volume may rapture the mini speakers probably because of the its small size.
VERDICT:
This is a great little set to pack along in a bag or backpack when you want audio that goes beyond
your earphones


Taking Surprising Risks For The Body


         The society beauty standards has transformed majority into using all means to fit in the threshold. And because of that many  darkskinned females are applying skin lightening products so as to appear light skinned because that's what the society today has valorized.Many Women seeking validation in the society,and this is a worrying trend.

In Jamaica, women have come up with some of their own unique, homegrown beauty enhancement techniques.The use of Chicken Pills.
It started from the country and now is spreading like bushfire with more women across the continent embracing it so as to get a  much more Afrocentric body type that is valorized.

     What I find amazing is the degree
to which women will put themselves at risk to fit an image that will make them celebrated.Be comfortable in your own skin.Remember you are wonderfully and fearfully made.

    I happened to be at the hospital around two weeks ago and saw 3 ladies in their early 20s.One abnormal  thing i noticed on one of the girls was her unusual big bum.I mean there is a big bum but then this one was way bigger.The 2 ladies assisted the 'big- bummed' take a sit at the patients bench i was sitting as i waited for my turn to go and see the doctor.

"Now see what you've done for yourself.I warned you from the start  of the side effects of that pill,"one of the lady who had accompanied the 'big-bummed'  scolded at her  in luo."Ok a winj ma ber,line ni ok sudi yawa.A regret marach[i'm not feeling well,the line is not moving i regret badly],said the lady writhing in pain.

      A standby nurse witnessed what was happening and passed by to ask what the problem was.

"Shida ni gani?"[what's the problem?]
"Huyu alitumia chicken pill.Uneza msaidia,[She used the infamous chicken pill.Can you assist her]"one of the ladies who had accompanied her answered."I ni side effects ya kutumia that,mbebe adi kwa room 07 kisha mutapata daktari,[These are the side effects,carry her till room 07,you'll see the doctor]"the nurse told them.They proceeded to carry her.I felt pity for the young lass.As sombre thoughts were flooding  my mind,i felt a pat on my shoulder.I looked up,"Hey,it's your turn,"a woman with chubby cheeks and that keri hilson smile told me.I entered the room.

       Now onto the main story.Chicken pillhas always been used by farmers on their chicken with the sole purpose of making them grow faster.The chicken pill is made up of hormones that alter growth  hormones in chicken and also human beings.That's why farmers use the pill.Like any other pill,the chicken pill has its side effects.The side effects manifest with time.What worries me more is after farmers continue adding chicken pill to the chicken feed,the pills hormones continue to pile up in the chickens  body.

Once the chicken is sold and consumed, the piled up hormones now transfer into the human system and you know what that means.I think farmers sold the idea to desperate ladies who needed to get that 'coca-cola' shape.

        Arsenic found to be in the pill is known to cause cancer.Long period consumption of the pill eventually leads to higher levels of arsenic in the  body which eventually leads to cancer.Ladies,it's better to use padded under wears instead of pills to fix your derriere.

       Dear ladies,BE COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN AND BODY SHAPE.DONT TRY TO FIT IN.THERE'S ONLY ONE YOU. DON'T TRY TO BE SOMEONE ELSE

Bluetooth Low Energy



  

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you've lost touch with your schoolmates during a school trip to a museum and stranded ,undecided on where and what to do?Well,I bet many of us have gone through such a situation or a similar one?But thanks to Apple,you'll never get caught up in such a situation.

In 2013, Apple came up with a technology called Ibeacon  that uses Bluetooth low energy(BLE) communication to transmit a
universally unique identifier picked up by a compatible app or operating system. The identifier can be used to determine the device's physical location  or trigger a location-based action .  Now back to the situation I mentioned earlier.You've just lost touch with your schoolmates on a school trip to the museum and stranded.Now this is what you can do.You need to go to the administrator of the museum ,they'll give you their Ibeacondetector app.

Once your IOS Device installs the app and running the app, it can be programmed to look for the museums UUID(identifier). When it detects it, it looks at the major and minor values and can determine which of the museums your classmates are in as well as the room the you are in.This is only  possible if the museum has placed  an Ibeacon that acts as a transmitter.

When the museum app  picks up a transmitter(present in the room your classmates are in)containing the museum UUID of “122549566-18S1-1GE1-B3A1-25F8135C7D21″ and a major of 1 and minor of 16, it knows the schoolmates are in the museum and in room 16 of that museum. 
Easy,isn't it?Think of supermarkets that could put them around the shelves so you can more easily find products.

  



example,you visit a supermarket to buy snowdent toothpaste  and already  the snowdent team had given you their ibeacon detector app,you run it on your IOS device and start detecting and picking up the  transmitter offers.

The beacons placed at the snowdent  shelves will start transmitting to your IOS Device indicator the place they are and on which row or column they are located.Once your IOS device (acting as the receiver)picks up the transmitter 'broadcast' or 'offers'.

You'll be able to get the physical location the snowdent product is located.Saves time,isn't it?
The protocol uses the Bluetooth Low Energy communication and it can work with your ordinary bluetooth(4.0) providing your operating system is compatible.My hope is that businesses pick up the use of the ibeacons or even buy the beacons(  iBeacon-compatible hardware transmitters) that can be bought from various vendors like cubeacon e.t.c
