ISIS is Planning To Use Drones as Kamikazes

ISIS already use drones in battlefields for information purposes, but now next step use them for an attack. And they will be more effective than attacking with guns. In Paris, they tried to get into Stade De France. Luckily people at the gate stopped the terrorist, and they exploded the bomb outside the stadium. But think that, they were using drones, they can not be stopped even at night you can even hardly saw them. Bomb equipped drones can crash land on the people or soccer players. That may cause many causalities.

– 
In the battlefield, the terrorist group use four propellers DJI drones for propaganda purposes but also they use some kits to make new ones by themselves. And we all know that they are using the internet very effectively. There are a lot of DIY drone kits on the internet. So making a drone is not that hard. The report says they are mostly using four propellers drones; they can not carry too heavy stuff but, the eight propellers models can easily carry an active bomb that might cause severe damage. And for a terrorist group that earns millions a day, a drone army will not be a problem.

Drone Killer Laser

The U.S. Government realize the treat, in the battlefield, they are targeting drones of ISIS. Also, there is a new law that every drone owner should register their flying machines to FAA. And the near future I would like the see a small drone killer lasers that produce by Boeing for burning the drones while they are on the air. They can make this laser for police vehicles shot them down.

One extra note, please be aware the drones that fly around you, if you are in a crowded area or an event, and you saw a drone that carry a package like or another thing that doesn’t look like a camera. Call the police right away. Don’t even hesitate.

World’s Long-Term Solar Energy Plan Opens a Door for Cleaner Earth

The last three-month period of the 2015 three gigawatts of solar photovoltaics installed in the U.S. and that is a really good number for a new industry.

Total installations of Solar cells in 2015 is 7.9 gigawatts, in 2014, this figure was 6.3 gigawatts. Even the number of 2015 is high, investor plan to double the solar panel installation, they are planning to install 15.4 gigawatts in 2016. Luckily the USA is not alone in this. A German-based research team says; there will be 54 gigawatts of solar panel will be installed worldwide in 2015 alone. The biggest consumer of electricity China will plan to install 180 gigawatts by the end of 2020, followed by the U.S. 83 gigawatts and 57 gigawatts in Japan.
– 
This high number of solar panel installations happened because of the falling cost of solar panels and the other component that use it. The Congress passes a spending bill that includes a five-year extension of the investment tax credit for the firms who installs wind power and solar energy stations. This investment text credit lowers the cost of the businesses about 30 percent. After this tax credit ends, it will continue 10 percent for commercial, but no credits will continue for regular homes installments.

World Largest Solar Power Project Will Start in Morocco

The Noor project has 4 phases when all parts constructed; it will be the biggest in the world. Unless this period someone else build a bigger one. We think next biggest one probably will build in Dubai, they love big stuff.

– 
Solar Power project already started and Morocco already finished the first phase of the solar plant that called Noor-1. The first part has a capacity of 160 megawatts and supposed to reduce the emission of gases significantly. Estimate CO2 drop calculated as 240,000 per year. Noor-2 and Noor-3 will finish in 2016 and following year 2017. After that, they will start building Noor-4. When all the phases are completed, Noor will be covering an area of 11.6 sqm  ( 30 sq km. It can generate 580 megawatts energy and provide electricity to a million house. Morocco wants to raise renewable energy production to %42 of their total energy needs by 2020.

Will ShiftWear Be the Next Biggest Failure of the Startup Projects?

Last December one of the biggest Startup projects from Europe failed. A small drone that can fit in your hand. Project founded more than 3.4 million dollars but, even this project had a prototype that flies. They send the drones to their backers kick starter projectbut, the problem was, drones didn’t function properly. Backers complained of course and after the launch company just collapsed, and money just vanished. Kickstarter said they would start an investigation about this but, for now, nothing happened yet.

And now there is an another big hit is coming. The project is a sneaker that has a display on it, and you change the texture as you like, even you can put some moving images on it. The idea is great but looks like it is just a dream. Because there is no prototype, even something that explains the technology. How can you connect the sneaker with a smartphone or any blueprint that shows what kind of parts the sneakers contains, for example, where is the battery? Ok, just say the Founder can do this shoe, at least, explain what kind of technology are you using or show us the screen that will use on the sneaker.


Will ShiftWear Be the Next Biggest Failure of the Startup Projects?

But the funding is going great. The team of Shiftwear, which is just seven people and only contains one engineer who is a software engineer. This team collected 800.000 dollars already, and they were just asking 25 thousand dollars at the first time. This makes me think how can you do a project like this with seven people ( no engineer in it ) with 25 thousand dollars and you are located in NY ( it is an expensive city, those team members should get salaries right). Unfortunately, many popular internet blogs and news website did a news about this project, and they were excited about it. Please don’t understand us wrong; we don’t say this kind of sneaker is not possible to make, we just don’t believe it is impossible with a team like this.

Will ShiftWear Be the Next Biggest Failure of the Startup Projects?

We are pretty convinced this project will not happen, and all this money will be gone, Indiegogo will take his share and will say; they will investigate this, but it is highly possible nothing will happen. We are doing this news not because we don’t like startups; we are writing about this because we don’t want people to lose their trust in because of this kind of fraud project. There are great projects, and we are putting them on the site to support them let our reader be aware of significant projects. And we will put this news down and will write a ” sorry article ” if the company or founder proves that they have the technology to do this sneaker.


​Will Half-Life Universe’s Fate be like Star Wars?

When the first Half-life released in 1998, the game impress millions of players. Its fans rapidly growth to millions, the game, took more than 50  ” Game of the year ” awards. It wasn’t only the gameplay of the game also the story behind the game impressed many people.

IGN ranked the game as the number one first-person shooter game of all time. First game followed by expansion packs, Opposing Force, and Blue Shift. Than Half-life 2 came up in 2004, with the new graphic engine and the awesome gravity gun. In five year Half-life 2 sold 40 million copies. Valve’s plan was release 4 episode after Half-life 2 but after the second episode, nothing will come up. After the second episode that released at 2007, fans start waiting for the third episode, but nothing happened.

What happened later, well Valve got rich earned good money and forgot about Half-life universe. Some gossips revealed that writers wrote the rest of story, but Valve doesn’t find Half-life universe profitable anymore. Unfortunately, Valve became a company that totally focused on money, and money never enough for them, in 2014 Steam closed the year with 1.4 billion revenue. And Valve’s total estimated worth in 2015 is 2.2 billion dollars. Of course, if Valve releases HL3, it will earn money, but if you compare with Steam, it is nothing for them.
– 
So as a huge fan of Half-life universe, I am not hopeful about playing Half-life 3 in near future. My only hope, like Star Wars, a Disney-like company will buy all rights of Half-Life and make a great game for us. And hope it will happen, while I still can use a mouse correctly, I don’t want to die before I reach the Borealis, learn what the hell happened, where these giant white sausages came from and what they want.
