A Smartwatch?!

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 03:33 PM PDT

Let's face it, if you didn't know what a smartphone was, you probably wouldn't be on this site right now. We all know what a smartphone is, but have you ever heard of a smartwatch? I'm not talking about a GPS watch. I'm talking about a watch that can do pretty much everything your smartphone can do, and possibly more.

GEAK, a subsidiary of Shanda, has developed what they call a GEAK Watch, and it could possibly be the first true smart watch to ever exist.

Banks Fight Back with Quantum Dawn 2

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 03:30 PM PDT

Cyber-theft is becoming an ever real and dangerous concern for banks around the world. We recently reported on a cyber heist conducted by a ring of hackers all across the globe that walked away with millions. To help prepare for potential cyber attacks, banks are turning to a simulation program called "Quantum Dawn 2".

The program simulates cyber attacks and their symptoms within a controlled, sandbox situation and tasks banking executives with fending off or at least slowing down the attack in order to minimize losses. It doesn't just attack one company either. The program simulates an attack across multiple financial institutions at the same time. Each company is forced to work with each other to try to neutralize the issue.

Virtual Reality Gaming Coming Soon?

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 03:24 PM PDT

When I thought of the future as a kid, I had two things in mind. Hoverboards and virtual reality gaming. As 2015 draws ever closer, I've yet to see hoverboards on the horizon, but virtual reality gaming could be right around the corner. Oculus, the virtual reality company behind the Oculus Rift (feature in the picture below), received $16 million from investors to turn the Oculus Rift into a purchasable mass consumer product.

As of right now, only major developers and those who forked over $300+ during Oculus' Kickstarter campaign have access to the Oculus Rift. However, Oculus has started selling the Rift development kit outside of the Kickstarter campaign.

Alien Contact via GIF?

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 03:21 PM PDT

NASA, and various other space-based associations, have tried sending all kinds of things through space in order to communicate with alien life – one of the most recent examples being the Beetles' "Across the Universe" track that was sent in 2008. This year, a project called Lone Signal will attempt to communicate with alien life via GIF.

The GIF is going to be sent to Gliese 526, a solar system that many believe could be habitable, via a large radio dish in California on June 18th. The solar system is more than 17 light years away, meaning it won't arrive at its destination until 2018.
