I found that earlier this year Google launched a new service for the Google Cloud machine. Google is calling it's new cloud learning service, " the fastest growing product areas". it seems that the Google's Cloud Platform will be getting a GPU upgrade int he early 2017. As of right now, Google only offers it's service for building custom learning models as well as a number of pre-trained models for machines vision, speech-to-text conversions, translations and extracting information from text.The API was only meant for long form translations instead of standard edition.
Recently, just about a few days ago, Facebook randomly had somewhat of a glitch in their system where on some people's around 1.7 billion profiles saying that they died. According to the some people is left a banner saying that " We hope people who love you will find comfort in the things others share to remember and celebrate you life.
What I thought was weird was that even the Facebook CEO got the same glitch saying that he died. It was weird because I thought what would be like to attend your own funeral The bug was fixed later the next day.
Have you wondered about a smaller laptop that could be able to fit in the size of your pocket. Well look no further, the GPD Win is a brand new pocket laptop that is functions like a gaming device and a laptop combined together. At first it started off as Indiegogo, which raised over 700K dollars on it's funding campaign. The GPD Win gained it popularity for it's PC gaming style of the laptop that it had.
Since it's runs like regular laptop it's runs of the latest version of Windows 10, as well as it has it's own mouse, joystick integration and keyboard built in. The good thing is that it's only $330, which is the same prices as a regular laptop.
Around late last week Snapchat just released it's first pair of Spectacles. This new pair of gear will allow you to wear theses to take snapchat videos and photos from the gear on your face instead of your phone. Snapchat's new photo-taking sunglasses just for only $130 and after 24 hours of being on the released all the glasses had been sold out.
The best part is that when your not using your Spectacle you c an put them in the "Charging Case". But the irritating fact is that there is a cord that you have to keep track of such as a phone charger.
Here's a video introducing Snapchat's Spectales
If you want to get a clear understanding the Spectales hands on, Check out this video review
Just recently GoPro found a bit of an issue in their new drones (Karma). Whenever you have the Karma Drones in the air they tend to sometimes stop flying wherever it's at. So on that note GoPro had to do a massive recall over 2,500 drones.
The company that they will give refunds to the all the customers that have purchased the Karma drone, but they will not be offering replacements drones. The reason being is that they have been selling the drones since Oct 23. However, they will resume shipping once the issue is resolved on the drones.
In result of the massive recalls GoPro lost over 84 million in the past three months. I would say that the real question is: Will the Karma drones ever be trusted by the previous customers and others?

The company HP just designed a new phone called Elite X3 which is a well built with Window 10 installed. There have been some positive and negatives with the new phone such as
Positives:
Massive Battery
Stunning Design
Can transform into a PC
Negatives:
Lousy app support
Unwieldy size for some
Even though the Elite X3 is very well made and it can be a 3-in-1 device turning into a laptop,desktop and a mobile phone together. Your still very limited to with the app selection and is stuck with some baggage right at the get go.
The interface of the of the phone looks exactly like a Windows 10 desktop or laptop but it's still limited but works. The Elite X3 is powerful enough it handle music, movies and gaming. It as well gives you the access to either 32 bit or 64 bit application.
The battery life is pretty good it takes about an hour to reach 70% and a another 40 minutes to be fully charged. You can actually get atleast a two hour call with even 16% or even surfing the web at the current battery life.
