Get ready to immerse into the new reality professionally designed for your home entertainment from Sony. Project Morpheus, which is planned to suit your PS4 device, will let you taste a piece of reality in a virtual world.
The prototype was already introduced to the attendees, who had an opportunity to be the first to try demo games for the headset, such as “Eve: Valkyrie”, the space simulator, Deep Sea simulator and few others. By their words, the feelings are awesome and cannot be compared at all to previous versions of headsets.
If you look at the prototype you can understand that the design is incredibly futuristic and amazing, but nevertheless the creators stipulate that it will modified in order to have even better performance and look. As you could notice the LED glow on the edges of the mask makes a real flash-forward with your mind. It is clearly seen for the moment that the Sony’s creation looks much more completed and unique than the hotfoot Oculus Rift, which is already on sale, by the way.
The display of Project Morpheus is 90 degrees wide comparing to Oculus VR, which has 110 degrees of sight range, but nevertheless when immersing into the game such details have no sense for your peripheral vision, as the first players affirm. Also both devices have 1080p HD quality video, which is by the way claimed to be insignificant for fabulous emotions while playing, though as Oculus has already released, Sony has some time to upgrade their Project’s specs.
As Facebook has started to support Oculus VR, we might see some interesting games made for Windows, but it is not a big secret that Sony is more powerful platform for video games than the social network is. Sony can already boast with more features, such as DualShock and PlayStation move controllers having a better physical performance for the player. Furthermore there’s a speed-racing game, which requires a player only to lie on the bed and nod the head with no other controllers involved. Morpheus also comes with a new 3D audio technology that re-creates stereoscopic sounds in all directions and adapts depending on your head position.
So here’s what we see at the moment: Oculus has a first–go advantage and Sony has an opportunity to outrace the beginner. But thanks to Facebook’s continuous patronage the eventual result may be opposite, if more innovative and interactive games will be created for Oculus VR headset in the nearest future. And for the moment we can see such opportunity in their hands, as the release date of Sony’s device and the price it might sell for is still unknown. But most probably we should aim for 2015!

If you ever thought that Samsung has nothing new in his pocket, then take a look at the new edge of divinity coming together with Note 4 specifications, as “two in one” device. The edge indeed looks like something special, though you can have your own opposite opinion, when read the entire article up to the end.
The Galaxy Note 4 was awaited as a sequel to Samsung’s brand phablet series and should really comply with all of the customer’s hopes, but nevertheless, the company has gone much further adding a premium section inside the Note’s range curving right side of the display for additional customizable functions letting you be unconcerned about the privileges it grants.
From the first sight you can capture yourself thinking about the annoying edge to be a gimmicky feature to attract your attention only. But Samsung has pledged it with a quick access service to speed up your device roaming ability on the 5.6 inches display, which is only 0.1 inches less than Note 4. But be sure that the missing one-tenth of an inch will make your accessibility much easier allowing you to switch instantly to your new messages or notifications even during the movie screening not affecting the whole picture for your eyes impression.
Standing together with Note 4, the Edge will have the same specifications, as 16-megapixel front camera with optical image stabilization function, the Snapdragon 805 processor as the inner power and the amazing QHD AMOLED display that will be fed by the 3200mAh battery source inside.
If you are not using your right hand as the main controller, the only solution you have is to turn the device 180 degrees up, but forgetting to use the center home button as always, making it a little bit defect for every user in the world. Another missed issue is an unavailability to pair it with Virtual Reality gear headset, which Note 4 is capable for.
We have to consider the special device only as a limited product, because the apps for it require special tuning to fit the special physical requirements it bears along. But if you want to be a “special” smartphone holder, then nothing should stop you eventually.
Samsung said that the Galaxy Note Edge smartphone will be available in the US for $400 with a two-year contract or $946 off-contract starting November 14.

Samsung has decided to move away from the mainstream and get back to basics again. The new model is called VU7000 and it works by well-known scheme, that certainly is incomparable in autonomy with a new level vacuum cleaners, such as Dyson 360 Eye.
Most of the problems are related directly to the use of full-size vacs. There are different useless tips: tangled wires, discharged battery, dependence on the outlet, and other issues, which, for sure, can make you anxious. However, if you have too many places with limited access, then the droid is quite useless device in this case, of course, otherwise it is just a humble pet-servant cleaning only the center of the room.
On the contrary old-school vacuums are doing everything correctly, accurately and in the shortest time, but get ready for some workout to make the dust disappear. The VU7000 can easily maneuver: wheels can roll with a minimum effort so smoothly and you might even think that it will glide further and continue cleaning on its own. But no, it will not. It is effective as long as you hold vac in your hand.
Samsung has already revealed vertical vacuum cleaner VU7000. You may grab it for $450 through the official website, where more details can be found.

Lenovo Yoga - a battle master - changes his outfit third time already to continue the fight with ultra-thin Apple notebooks. We already saw these encounters earlier and are glad that it will become even more brutal and fierce, because the new Yoga 3 Pro has become 17% thinner and 14% lighter than before.
After few rounds were held the masters of Lenovo have found some unnecessary parts of ammo and got rid of them. Now the martial arts master has become even slighter, its weight is only 2.62 pounds (1.19kg), so it is more dexterous than ever. Another special feature of the innovation is its cylinder joint connecting the upper and lower boards completely at a full width of the notebook swiveling in range of 360 degrees. This design reminds a knight’s chain mail, which ties together both parts: keyboard and display. Such tight binding may not be destructed with an enemy sword or other known means, as the connection consists of more than 800 self-contained aluminum and steel parts along the backsides of each panel.
On the left side panel there is yellow USB2.0 port, USB 3.0, micro HDMI, headset output and an SD card slot. On the right side panel there is also USB 3.0, volume regulator, audio set output and switch on button. The keyboard is easy and soft to use and there’s a LED lighting assisting in the dark. Sound is enhanced by JBL acoustics made by Waves Audio.
As before the notebook can perform different asanas, which were available for earlier models of Lenovo Yoga. There’s also a well-known 13-inch display with a 3200x1800 pixels resolution, which is much more than Retina displays have. After the fighting technics were changed, so the speed of response has increased with the assistance of new line of Intel's Core M processors i4, i5 and i7. Taking into account the 128/256 SSD memory storage and engine type, the laptop works really quietly, fast and chilled out that the system even doesn’t need the buzzing fans inside. But also there will be available 512GB and 1TB of Hard Drive options.
Incredible power is coming from the discrete NVIDIA GeForce 840 Graphics chip and 8GB of RAM. Notwithstanding the fact that this machine can boast with huge biceps, actually it is not power-consuming and may hold your weapons still during 8 hours having a one short meal break per day only.
The Yoga 3 Pro Hinge is available now. Pricing starts from $1349 for US market and €1299 for Europe. New Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro Hinge has the widest variety of changes in this series, but the traditional swivel joint method of connecting the two sides of the notebook was chosen in order to survive among the strong competitors on the market.

After Xperia Z3 we expected that Sony will take a vocation for a year, but they have decided otherwise and started to work on the next version of the smartphone flagship under a code name Sony Xperia Z4 according to the consequential place in the Series.
Current version of the phone appeared to have a success for the company and acquired a plenty of positive reviews, the biggest part of which was addressed to the magnificent 20,7MP camera becoming a benchmark for all the smartphones on the market. On the other hand the front facing camera with 2,2MP appeared to be insufficient for the premium phone and have received a lot of negative comments towards the maker.
It is expected that Xperia Z4 will have a 22MP rear camera or in the worst case we will see the same 20,7MP Exmor RS sensor with an automatic focus capable to shoot in 4K quality under the water just as before. Nevertheless it is quite important and we foresee more information to know for sure. Another cornerstone matter of the upcoming device is the front facing camera the company is willing to embed on its face. Is it going to be an old noise absorbing sensor or a more attractive 8MP one will be used? Maybe the engineers will go further to stand in a line with HTC Desire Eye, which received 13MP retina for selfie purposes.
Anyway if you choose the Z4 model you should clearly understand why you made this choice instead of any cheaper device. But actually all other specs are also upgraded to have the graphics boosted. According to recent rumors the new Xperia will be equipped with a 64-bit Eight Core Qualcomm processor 2,8 GHz Snapdragon 810 and an Adreno 430 GPU paired and able to process any of the 4K and FullHD video at 30/60fps with no delays and visible bugs.
The RAM capacity will reach 4GB for the first time increasing the current standard for the flagships 30% more. The internal flash-memory storage space will be 32GB, 24GB of which the user will be able to use as he wishes. Another upgrade is the 5,5-inch Quad HD IPS display with a resolution equal to 2560х1440 pixels. And at last we can finally expect it to be the first smartphone from Sony to have an LTE 6 category support allowing you to upload your photos and video files on the Cloud service with a speed 300/50 Mbps along with an essential Bluetooth 4.1 aboard.
According to preliminary updates we can expect the Xperia Z4 release will be performed at the Mobile World Congress 2015 scheduled on February and we'll have a possibility to touch it as well on March 2015. We have started to monitor this guy and we'll revert as soon as any updates have triggered our attention.
