To cool all of that graphics power, the Radeon HD 7990 features three cooling fans and a heatsink for each GPU.

Why The Android Users Are Unhappy With Twitter?

April 8, 2013 By Kiran Yasmin Leave a Comment

Twitter is a real-time global communication platform, developed in 2006. After Facebook, it is considered to be the top social media website with over five million visitors on a monthly basis. Not only this but also has over three million active global users.

Why Android Users Are Unhappy?

This week, Twitter rolled out sweeping updates to all of its mobile properties. But why the Android users are unhappy with Twitter? Well, it’s because the new Twitter Cards app is not working properly on Android Operating Systems. There are many Android users who complain that this app is a big buggy on Android platforms and they are not at all happy with its services. Also, the new update for the app left people wondering about how to switch between multiple accounts.

The Problems Are Extending:

At some places, the users are experiencing the problems with the “Me” tab. They say that they are coming across the difficulty to open this tab, and thus most of the times they are unable to access their DMs and switch accounts and thus fail to update their profiles. But when I personally tried to access this problem, then I came to know that this issue is not at all affecting all the devices, however, is showing that it is still a widespread issue.

With the minor problems that the Android users experience include a blank screen and a small spinner, with no information or message. This is may be sometimes because of the use of poor internet service or it may be a big ol’ bug.

March 31, 2013 By Kiran Yasmin Leave a Comment

Festo name needs no introduction as it is one of the leading electrical automation Technology Company. Festo is not behind in the race of technology development. Recently the mechanical experts of this Germany based company have created an innovative 180 grams robotic dragonfly named as BionicOpter.

In BionicOpter, Festo has input the complex flight properties of a dragonfly with great efforts. The ultra light four wings of this BionicOpter can be controlled independently. It can accelerate forward, backward and even can flight like tiny insects without any hurdle. In addition to the flapping wings of different frequencies and twists, each of the four wings can feature easily as an amplitude controller. To check and balance the direction of the wings a thrust regulator has especially been fitted in the robotic dragonfly. So, there is no hurdle for the robotic dragonfly to touch the skies with great speed and what a wonderful thing that it’s working and functions are completely remote-controlled. Not only this but also it can be controlled with the help of a smart phone (according to the company’ documentation).

The Lightweight Integrated Design & Style

The unique flight concept in the BionicOpter has been made possible due to its light weight and integrated design. Its functionality is exceptional because of the presence of auto-sensors, actuators and other mechanics’ based components. The control systems of the robotic dragonfly’s open and closed-loop are installed in such a way that it even flies through some tight space and narrow areas.

Heinrich Frontzek, the chief of Festo’s Corporate Communication and Future Concepts has clarified in an interview that this unique robotic dragonfly is a good addition in the Festo’s electrical products and for sure it would bring the company name to the heights of success. According to the Canadian Manufacturing report the company has the plan to launch this robotic dragonfly in April at Hannover Messe trade show.
