Ambulances Interrupting Tunes!
There’s a huge reason not to play music REALLY loud while in your car. That’s not because other people don’t want to hear your music but rather more that you won’t hear the emergency vehicle coming full speed behind you until the last moment.
Well in Sweden you won’t have to worry about that possibility no more. Sweden are testing Ambulances in Stockholm with a system that interrupts in-car audio via the FM transmitter on your car with a voice warning when they’re close by and responding to a crisis. What’s more interesting is that the system is speed sensitive so you’ll recieve notices from greater distances when you’re on the motorway.

Cassette sales increase!
Seem’s as though we all want to live in the past! As we have already said, Vinyl album sales have increased in 2016 but it seems as though another dark ages media has risen from the dead.
Cassette tapes sales grew with an incredible 129,000 copies sold! A 74% increase from 2015 sales. Most of the sales were online with the rest going to small independent retailers.
A few reasons may be because of this, due to Justin Beiber, The Weeknd selling their albums on Cassette tapes and Eminem re-issued The Slim Shady LP cassette selling 3,000 copies. The Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 soundtrack was the most popular, having sold about 4,000 copies each in 2016 and 2015.

TV Pirates Beware!
If you’re a pirate you’re about to get caught! ISP’s in Britain including Virgin Media, TalkTalk, Sky and BT are going to be sending letters to the homes of people who pirate things like Tv Shows.
Letters are expected to be posted this week, starting 17th Jan.
Torrent users are expected to be targeted first rather than people who use streaming video services.
All the letter entails is where to get content legally, its part of the Government’s “Get it Right Campaign” and the letter starts off with “Get it Right from a Genuine Site” they got in touch with Metro:
‘Get it Right is a government-backed campaign acting for copyright owners who think their content’s been shared without their permission.
‘It looks like someone has been using your broadband to share copyrighted material (that means things like music, films, sport or books).
‘And as your broadband provider, we have to let you know when this happens.’
However what isn’t known is what happens if people ignore these letters!
What do you think will happen?

GIANT ROBOTS PARTROL NORTH KOREA!
South Korean robotics firm Hankook Mirae Technology have created a really cool manned giant robot called Method-2! Weighing in at 1.5 tons the machine has drawn comparisons with the Amplified Mobility Platform suit in blockbuster Avatar and is built to work in extreme hazardous areas where humans cannot go or construction sites and even military purposes.
It stands at 13 Feet tall and took only 12months to get to where it is today and if rumours are to believed is acting as a warning to North Korea and Kim Jong-Un – potentially appearing at the North/South Korean border.
However as cool as this looks and sounds the robot is very young in development and can only take very small steps due to it having balance and power problems.
Hanbook plan to have the final version of Method-2 ready for potential buyers by the end of 2017 and is expected to sell for around £6.8 million.

Apple AR Glasses?!
According to Tech Journalist Robert Scoble Apple are working on an AR set of smart glasses with German lens specialist Carl Zeiss to bring AR to the masses in 2017.
Scoble has written of Apple’s VR plans before back in November he said that Apple were planning on building a PrimeSense sensor right into the TV and into the iPad/iPhone to create some sort of mixed reality. Primesense are a 3D sensing company, the same company who created the original Xbox Kinect – Apple acquired them in 2013.
Tim Cook has spoke of AR in the past calling that AR will be bigger business in the long term than VR,Cook told Good Morning America in Septembe:
“There’s virtual reality and there’s augmented reality – both of these are incredibly interesting…….But my own view is that augmented reality is the larger of the two, probably by far…..Virtual reality sort of encloses and immerses the person into an experience that can be really cool but probably has a lower commercial interest over time. Less people will be interested in that.”

Apple wages war on Netflix streaming service
According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Apple Music service are planning to add original video content to their service to help gain more subscribers.
This has been rumoured for a long time. It seems that Apple is now starting to reach out to Hollywood producers and are planning to add original content by the end of this year.
Apple are apparently trying to create some hard hitting original content like Westworld and Stranger Things. There will be original movies potentially appearing later on down the line if the Tv Shows are a success.
There’s no news as to what type of shows that the big fruit seem to be planning due to how tight lipped they are with things usually. This is kind of a surprise but kind of isn’t. Apple recently released a documentary. It was called 808: The Movie and narrated by Zane Lowe. So there were some signs! Apple acquired the rights to broadcast their own 30 minute series of James Corden’s Carpool Karaoke. Also the company are planning a semi-autobiographical documentary series. One called ‘Vital Signs’ starring Dr Dre which is due out on Apple Music this year.
So this new venture see’s Apple’s first step outside of music related video content. How will they do?

Smartwatch will tell you when you’re getting ill!
That smartwatch on your wrist may have just got a little bit smarter – they’ll be able to tell you when you’re getting ill before you actually do, according to US scientists.
Researchers made an app called “Change of Heart” which tracked health data, such as your heart rate, then used 60 people to conduct a study for up to two years and found that the stats changed from the baseline, when they were falling ill.
These stats are very important as the researchers say that with this data they could potentially help to develop an app which will detect things such as type 2 diabetes and in the study the app detected very early signs of Lyme disease in one of the scientists behind the study.
As the devices are constantly measuring our vitals they can often give a quick up to date information and your doctor (we presume) would have access to these stats they could detect not only things like the common cold but the onset of diseases due to small undetectable changes in your physiology.
If this comes to fruition a combination of a smartwatch to detect the changes and a smartphone to act as a health dashboard could save plenty of lives in years to come!
