MS PAINT GOING AWAY?!

There was a lot of furore online recently with a lot of people upset a the prospect that the Windows Fall Creators Update is taking away MS PAINT?!

Well kind of.

The drawing programme that came with every Windows operating system from 1985 is being removed from the OS as a basic feature and will move to the Microsoft store. (so we can still draw a big mess and then fill it in!)

It’s becoming Paint 3D and has a ton of new 3D capabilities and do all of the things the old paint could do and for free!

 

HP VR Backpack

There’s a backpack that will help you get the training you need on the job!

HP are launching the Z VR backpack that’s designed for professionals on the job, creatives, or soldiers who want to train on a virtual battlefield (and we’re not talking call of duty here) The backpack is incredibly powerful packing , vPro-enabled quad Core i& and a Quadro P5200 graphics card card with 16gb of video memory! It works primarily with HTC Vive Business edition, but you don’t have to use it with it, if your company uses Oculus Rift then it will play nicely.

HP are partnering with a bunch of companies to create a Mars Home Planet Project that focuses on VR for around the world collaboration to create infrastructure that will build a strong colony, from building massive structures to designing clothing. The sense is to give a user what it’d be like to live on mars. The sense of this ‘game’ is to give the users a sense of how powerful the backpack is and the uses that your company could use this for, such as designing a car or planning architecture, either in the same building or around the world.

Fish sauced?

Goldfish turn to alcohol to survive icy winters

If you’ve ever wondered how fish survive the icy cold waters, then the answer is a little bit stranger than you think.

A goldfish might look like a simple being but actually their body has the ability to turn the lactic acid in their bodies into alcohol as a means of staying alive!

When scientists examined this phenomena they found the fish to have levels well above legal drink-driving limits in many countries.

This research might actually help with the study of how alcohol impacts humans and although scientists have known about this survival technique since the 80’s new research has shown molecular mechanism behind this ability, which can be useful on many different levels.

Robotics expert Professor seems to agree with these concerns as he said ‘there have been many legal cases of human-rights violations using the large fixed-wing drones, and these could potentially result in many more.”

 

There has already been a lot interest in the drone from several governments but how it will be rolled out in the future will depend on America.
