Apple will not mimic the Microsoft Surface Book any time soon

A week ago Microsoft announced and showed the world the Surface Book, the company’s first laptop that can transform into a tablet. With the amount of attention, the device is getting, one might expect Apple to follow in the same way it followed Microsoft with its iPad Pro. Well, from what Apple itself had to say, this is not happening, and might never happen, ever.


We remember when Tim Cook stated in the past that combining two different products doesn’t lead to an enjoyable user experience. Still, it is getting there so we’re not certain if Tim Cook will still be correct a few years or months from now.

On the matter of what Apple thinks of the idea of creating a device similar to the Surface Book, executive Phil Schiller stated that multi-touch displays have no place on a traditional laptop and that Apple see no reason to go this route. Basically what he’s saying is, a tablet must always be separate from a laptop.

“From the ergonomic standpoint we have studied this pretty extensively and we believe that on a desktop scenario where you have a fixed keyboard, having to reach up to do touch interfaces is uncomfortable. iOS from its start has been designed as a multi-touch experience — you don’t have the things you have in a mouse-driven interface, like a cursor to move around, or teeny little ‘close’ boxes that you can’t hit with your finger. The Mac OS has been designed from day one for an indirect pointing mechanism. These two worlds are different on purpose, and that’s a good thing — we can optimize around the best experience for each and not try to mesh them together into a least-common-denominator experience.”

Not too long ago Apple released the iPad Pro, a direct copy of the Surface Pro line of devices. What’s interesting about this is the fact that Apple had shunned the idea of ever supporting a pen for its tablet range, but as we have seen, this thinking has been thrown out the door.


Should the Surface Book begin the sell like gangbusters, we believe Apple might decide to change its tune.

No matter which one you choose, enjoy your movie entertainment on iPad Pro and Surface Book.

iPhone 6s vs Android: Specs Benchmark Prove iPhone is Better

iPhone 6s vs Android: Specs Benchmark Prove iPhone is Better – Apple iPhone 6s continues to surprise us with new benchmarks which seem to point out that this device is more powerful than anything out there. A new report suggests that the Surface Pro 3 is the only gadget capable of passing the iPhone 6s in terms of raw performance power.


It’s been almost a month since Apple outed its latest device in the iPhone line and the company has reported more than 13 million sales which is pretty impressive. It’s no big surprise that the device excels in terms of performance because it features the Apple A9 chipset with a dual-core 1.8GHz central processing unit and this is a chip that is 50% quicker than the Apple A8.

That’s a very good score coming from a chipset made by Samsung in collaboration with TSMC and AnandTech seems to believe that this phone is better than pretty much anything else out there. This is quite a big statement which isn’t backed by actual data but it’s pretty believable given the fact that many people have been reporting a really smooth experience up until now, with the only complaint coming from the battery life department.

Apple iPhone 6s Tech Specs

So what else does the iPhone 6s have under that case that makes it so good? Well, it has an improved 2GB of RAM which is twice as much when compared to its predecessor, it also has Touch ID which is blazing fast, 3D Touch, and many other features to go with it. We’ll be watching closely to see any potential performance comparisons between the iPhone 6s and other devices, but for now we remain a bit skeptical given the fact that many users have reported quite a bit of problems with iOS 9 and the iPhone 6s.

Have you got the new iPhone 6S? Get the best video converter for iPhone 6S and batch convert almost any video (including MKV, AVI, VOB, MOV, MTS, Tivo, MP4 and H.265, etc) to iPhone 6S highly compatible file type for watching. Besides, with the built-in video editor, you can freely trim, crop, adjust effect, add (*.ass, *.ssa, *.srt) subtitles to your source video. Check the guide to learn how to.

You'll be able to watch Hulu in virtual reality by next month

Hulu intends to make its virtual reality app available next month. The plan is for the app's launch to coincide with the launch of Samsung's Gear VR headset, which will go on sale in November, Tim Connolly, the company's head of distribution, told CNET.


While we still don't know the exact launch date for the $99 Gear VR, Samsung previously said the device would be on shelves in North America "in time for Black Friday."

Like virtual reality apps from other video services such as YouTube and Netflix, Hulu's app will allow users to watch video in a more immersive 3D environment. The company is also working on original content that will give viewers a richer virtual experience that promises to "transport viewers into new worlds and change the way they experience and interact with Hulu," the company said in a statement earlier this year. The first of these efforts will be a short film called The Big One.

The company may also create more original content exclusively for virtual reality, Connolly said in an interview with CNET. "We think this is a smart bet that helps position us as an innovator and helps us learn earlier on what could be a substantive storytelling environment."

Wanna play downloaded Hulu videos directly on Gear VR with your phone? You just need a right program and convert hulu 3D videos to 3D MP4 for smoothly playing. Have something to add to this story? Share it in the comments.

VR Oculus Rift 3D Movies - The Complete List

Updated compilation of VR Oculus Rift movies. As Virtual Reality is getting bigger and bigger, it’s only a matter of time till we get regular movies or cartoons made specifically for VR devices. We do not know how long they will be but as far as we know, they work best if done in short bursts.


Upcoming VR/ Oculus Rift Movies (Movies That Are Made Specifically For VR/ Oculus Rift)

1. Name: MansLaughteroculus rift movies

Genre: Crime, Mystery, Thriller

Director: David Marlett

Made by: Cinemersia

Release Date: August 15, 2015

About: Five people in tangled relationships discover an extraordinary opportunity: one of them has won a $265 Million Lotto ticket and is cautiously waiting to turn it in. But delay is not his friend, nor are the other four, as it gives them time for deception, double-cross and murder in order to claim the ticket for themselves. But who will end up with the money? Pay attention all around you to find out.

In this revolutionary, original film, you’ll have a never-seen-before experience. After putting on virtual reality headgear (like an Oculus or GearVR), you’ll find yourself in a virtual world, amid a web of lies and murder. Here time is collapsed and four scenes (that would otherwise happen on different days in the real world) are happening simultaneously all around you.

2. Name: INNERDRONEoculus rift movies

Genre: Action

Director: David Marlett

Made by: Cinemersia

Release Date: Early 2017

About: Master Sgt. Marina Peters was just doing her job.  As a U.S. Army Special Forces Drone Ranger, she came to work each day in fatigues, ready to do battle, ready to assault an ISIS target, ready to save the day, ready to kill if necessary, whenever and wherever she was required to go…in Tampa, Florida.  Then she would drive home each night, half-baked, to her children and her crumbling marriage.  But when she was on base, in that contact room, Marina was a force to be reckoned with…thousands of miles away.  There, inside her assigned DX, her battle drone self, she was invincible. Or so she thought. So we all thought. Until that Tuesday at 1:16 in the morning…on that goddamned, windswept mountain in Syria.

In this gripping, first-in-the-world, hybrid framed/VR series, experience humanity and machine in a combination of traditional filmmaking and virtual reality cinema.

3. Name: ARAPAHOoculus rift movies

Genre: Unknown

Director: David Marlett

Made by: Cinemersia

Release Date: Early 2017

About: In 1852, on the Great Northern Plains of America, Black Eagle rouses his Arapaho hunters, plays with his children, and eats smoked venison strips as his sister paints his face for the hunt. When finished, he pauses to lift prayers to the Spirits. It will be three days before he and the buffalo party return, hopefully with the success he now prays for. But all know his other prayer, what weights his heart and fills his thoughts. His wife, Sun Bird, was kidnapped by a Pawnee raiding party over two moons prior and remains lost. Every ride out, every hunt, is a chance for Black Eagle to search new ground, to seek any sign of her. Today he feels she is near.

In this first-of-its-kind, virtual reality feature film, you will be immersed there on the prairie, out with the tribe, and there you will hear Black Eagle’s prayer and you will get to make that pivotal decision early in the film.  That decision will decide the fates of Black Eagle, Sun Bird, and his Arapaho tribe. If he rescues his wife, they will miss the roaming herd and one among them will be killed. If he doesn’t find her beads that lead to her, they will have a successful hunt, the tribe will have buffalo for the coming winter, but his wife will be lost forever.

How Does it Feel And How to Setup

Trust me on this one, Oculus Rift gives you a much better 3D experience than theaters and cinemas do. Even home theaters do not live up to the level of 3D quality. Now you can argue about the resolution, but since VR head-mounted displays will get better and better each year, I don’t think it’s going to be a problem for the long-term.

What Oculus Rift really takes advantage of is scale. No other device can give you this kind of experience. It’s as if you are truly there, in full size. The feeling of elephant coming closer to you, huge skyscrapers towering over you, and all the other scaled objects can give you shivers, literally. And if to add the real 3D, no layer bull****, I start to believe that Oculus Rift movies, or soon-to-be-called VR movies will conquer the world of cinema. Why would you buy an expensive flat screen TV, why would you go to cinemas? Well, actually I would go just because it’s a bit louder there, and going to cinema with friends makes more sense. But other than that, I really don’t see any other advantages.

If you also want to experience at least the 3D movies mentioned above, first you need to do is download:
  • LiveViewRift (you can try other VR movie programs).
  • Have Rift in extended mode.
  • Start LiveViewRift.
  • Press “+” and type the name of the movie you are going to watch.
  • In the Layers section set Current Layer to layer 1 (Background). Set Type to Video. If there are any other Layers delete them.
  • Drag the video file to the Video-Path/Url window.
  • Press “test” in Cam-Setup to see if the video actually plays and it is in the format you think it is in.
  • In the Environment Section set Scene = Black and check the Scene Placement
  • Check Start in Full Screen, Pacific Full Screen, Show Hud on Start Up. Uncheck Show H&S Warning.
  • Click Start and put on HMD. You should see the HUD. Look straight ahead with the head level.

With the help of iFastime Video Converter Ultimate, you can transform protected and region-locked DVD/Blu-ray and other 4K/SD/HD video in any formats to VR headsets with excellent 3D effect.

GoPro Hero 5: Official Tech-Specs around the Corner

The world is currently awaiting the impending release of the GoPro Hero 5 ever since the makers hinted at ground-breaking technologies being used in the device. The Hero 5 is one of the most advanced portable sports cameras that we have at the moment while GoPro claim that the pricing will be in line with that of the current-generation Hero 4.

Even though we do not have the entire spec sheet yet, GoPro is rumored to release the list later this week. GoPro was originally expected to release the record-shattering Hero 5 in October this year, but the device was delayed due to technical glitches. Experts however believe that GoPro is delaying the release in order to market the Hero 4 and the Hero+ LCD.

What’s certain at the moment is that the Hero 5 launches next year and is in line to becoming THE High-Definition extreme adventure sports camera of the year. As per current reports, the GoPro Hero 5 is capable of filming videos at 8K resolution, capture motion and 3D images. The video resolution is twice that of the Hero 4, which also requires better processing speeds.

To cope up with the requirements, GoPro has used the A10 processor on the device, which is also capable of filming videos at 4K resolution and 60fps. GoPro claims that the Hero 5 features a dual lens setup for better 3D image and video recording while major improvements have been made to the battery life of the device too, which now sports a 2,800 mAh unit.

Apart from the tech­-specs, reports further claim that the Hero 5 is nearly 40% lighter and 50% smaller than its predecessor, making it the most portable GoPro so far. It can be easily fitted on helmet mounts or on any other part of the body as you like. GoPro further claim that the waterproofing capability of the device has been enhanced.

The GoPro Hero 5 is capable of performing effortlessly till 60 meters underwater. There has been an improvement of 20 meters, which is phenomenal by the present standards. GoPro has introduced the dive housing, which can now be used in place of the standard housing for easier portability.

However, GoPro is expected to suffer in terms of sales figures since most of their cameras are sole during the Public Holidays. However, since the Hero 5 won’t be here by then, it is expected to suffer high demand. However, theoretically, the amount of hype generated around the device, should be enough to get it through to the customers irrespective of the Holiday Season.

The icing on the cake is the comparatively low price of the device. However, we are no market analysts. Hence, we cannot confirm any of these reports.

GoPro Hero 5

However, this reasoning seems valid, considering the lack of renowned competition in the segment. If the GoPro Hero 5 is what the company says it is, the camera will be the undisputed ruler of a market segment, with zero competition.

However, numerous small-time manufacturers such as VTech and some renowned camera makers have started taking interest in the portable sports action camera segment and manufactures such as Sony are considering a foray into the market segment. However, it is too early to comment on that either.

GoPro is known for never compromising on quality. Hence, when the company states that they are improving the quality of the parts further, we can be sure that the device will be top notch. GoPro needed a redesign and the change of materials and weight and size are a part of the process.

GoPro came under serious heat when renowned F1 driver Michael Schumacher had a ski accident and the doctors revealed that his camera mount had a major hand in the damage caused. Even though there were no legal proceedings involved, it got GoPro thinking and the Hero 5 is the result of that endeavor.

The company needs to be praised for making the effort and if the upcoming camera is all that the company wants us to believe, it will be a one-of-a-kind device in its own rights. If you’re looking for a reliable sports action camera, it would be wise to wait for the GoPro Hero 5, since it is worth the wait.

However, if you’re the impatient kind, feel free to opt for the present offerings from the company since they are top notch products too! The GoPro Hero 4 is priced at $499 and we will get back to you with the final pricing on the Hero 5 as soon as GoPro makes it official.

It is unlikely for the company to unveil pricing this week, even if they decide to reveal the official specifications of the camera. We will get back to you with the details from the event, if and when it occurs. Hence, please be patient and keep watching this space for more.
