Our Smart Phones Have an “Inside Man” That Secretly Send Our Data to Tracking Sites

There are two big application markets for our smartphones, the first one is Apple’s AppStore in which apps checked by the company before letting them downloaded by the users. And the second one is Google Playstore, which is more vulnareble. Google only denies those are obviously will harm the smartphone, but still you can download some apps from third party websites. Some apps lock your Android phone and ask money for unlocking it.

– 
So a team from Eurecom in France come up with an automated way to check the apps and monitor the websites that they try to connect. And the team found out an extraordinary scale of connection attempts. They used a Samsung Galaxy SIII that running Android version 4.1.2, and downloaded over 2000 free app from 25 different categories from Google Playstore. They recorded every attempted to connect. And they compared the URLs that these apps try to connect, to the list that prepared for the AdBlock Plus projects.

– 
The result were shocking, the apps connect 250,000 different URLs across almost 2,000 different top-level websites. Even some apps that don’t require a connection try to connect almost 2000 different URLs. The App called, ” Music Volume EQ ” just for controlling the volume. The team say; about 10 percent of those apps they tested, try to connect to more than 500 different websites. Nine out of 10 of these domains run by Google. And more than 70 percent did not attempt to connect any user tracking sites. Also, some of them try to connect to sites that look like harmful for the smartphones. There not much you can do for avoiding this issue. You can use AdBlockers and don’t download apps from third party websites.

Simple but Very Affective, Every Biker Need to Buy One

Most of the time when people thinking about and idea that make them being rich, they go so technical and complicated. But most of the idea that make the founders crazy rich that are mostly simple ideas.

In History, there are many examples of this kind of simple ideas that make the company famous. One of them is Levi’s. The founder were selling jeans, but numbers were not too high, and one day they just put metal buttons on the corner of packets and after sales went up like crazy. Because it was the solution to one problem, railroad workers were carrying heavy stuff in their pockets, and regular jeans weren’t able to carry them, they were ripped off by the heavy tools. But after that metal pin at the corners, that problem vanished. That simple idea made the Levi’s the company that we know today. So these guys also have a product that can solve a serious issue of bikers. It is nice to go to your work or doing other stuff on the bike but in rainy days it can became a nightmare. You can wear a rain coat but these time your legs will get wet. Think about going to work with wet pants.
Boncho is one of the best design, we have ever seen in startup project. It is very simple and really can solve rain or snow problem of the bikers. I believe, scooter drivers can also use it. The company as many of you might guess founded in Amsterdam. The city which has millions of bikers. In Boncho, they used a breathable and rain-proof material that easily can be folded like a small back and fit in your bag or you can carry with you. Project already collect the double of the money that they want. After the end of the campaign, they will start producing sending the Bonchos to their backers ( highly possible they will start sending the product in March).

Simple idea, excellent design and solving a huge problem. We are hoping to see more Kickstarter projects in the future.

Catching fire is a problem for many vehicle or devices, every year many people die or seriously injure because of the fires that happen in regular gasoline powered cars. Lithium-ion batteries are still safer than other battery technologies, but that doesn’t mean you should be careful with them. And in the future if you see an all-electric car on fire, give the distance between you and the vehicle and stay away from the smoke that come from the fire because, when a lithium-ion on fire it releases a really toxic gas that can cause serious health problems. If you considering buying an all-electric vehicle, please be sure your insurance covers this kind of incidents.
