Ford is introducing car-like technology that enables vans to detect people in the road and automatically apply the brakes if the driver does not respond to warnings. This certainly will help on a global scale especially when it comes to the transport industry due to the amount of claims,insurance costs piling up and how cut throat the courier industry is today with more vans on the road than before it would be a welcome technology on all vans more so than one company offering it,No doubt in years to come it will be an ALL commercial vehicles.
This is already available in motor cars and works by radars strategically placed on the vehicle and it detects shapes from a data base of “pedestrian shapes” that enables the system to distinguish people from roadside scenery and objects such as trees and road signs. Now available for Transit and Transit Custom vans, Pedestrian Detection technology can even predict when people may stray from the pavement and into the path of an oncoming vehicle. It is the first time that the technology has been made available for commercial vehicles of this size.
“It only takes a split second for a delivery driver to check an address – but that can be just the moment when an unwary pedestrian steps into the street,” said Gregor Allexi, active safety engineer, Ford of Europe. “In cases like this, Pedestrian Detection technology can help to avoid an accident, or reduce its severity.”
Ford engineers have tested the system on closed circuits, using rigs fitted with life-size dummies. The development team also spent months testing and refining the system on roads in European cities packed with pedestrians such as Paris and Amsterdam to prove system reliability under real-world conditions, covering more than 10,000 kilometres of urban driving.
The emergency braking system – called Pre-Collision Assist – functions in a series of stages. If the system detects a pedestrian and determines that a collision has become imminent, the driver will first receive an audible alarm and visual warning in the instrument cluster.
Should the driver fail to respond, the system then shortens the time required to apply the brakes by reducing the gap between brake pads and discs. If there is still no response from the driver, the brakes are applied automatically and the vehicle speed is reduced.
“Advanced technologies, like Pre-Collision Assist, that were billed as future technology only a couple of years ago are now starting to make a difference on UK roads by helping drivers to react fast to the unexpected, such as a pedestrian walking out in front of them,” said Luke Bosdet, spokesman for the AA. “For delivery and other business van drivers, this is a major advance – not only in helping to prevent accidents, but also protecting drivers from incidents that were not of their making and that would disrupt business.”
There is some really nice pieces of technology out there today which are simple and effective and again Cost Effective.. While costs are coming down with smartphones with high end devices coming in cheaper with new OEMs and so on.There is however tech inventions that we see on the likes of kickstarter that are pointless and clearly not thought out but this one here is different,BUT some might say “hey buy a chromebook” but there is no need too at all and for 99 bucks its just great..
The Superbook is a shell that turns your Android smartphone into a complete laptop. Get the freedom of using just one computer.
This idea is a simple yet effective one which is cheap and future-proofed,You can make calls,play games,browse,email,edit and create documents and code and good battery-life to boot…
Your smartphone is an incredibly powerful computer.
You already do a lot on your smartphone: it’s convenient, portable, and holds all of your apps, files, and contacts.
In fact, you could accomplish a lot more with it, but are often held back by its small screen size and limited mobile interface.
That’s why we created the Superbook – to remove those restrictions and give you the freedom of using just one computer.
What is the Superbook?
At its core, the Superbook is a smart laptop shell that provides a large screen, keyboard and multi-touch trackpad, 8+ hours of battery, and phone charging capabilities.
When plugged into your Android smartphone, it launches our app to deliver the full laptop experience.
Think of it as the ultimate accessory for your smartphone.
This is so simple to use,you just need your Android smartphone and an app plug in and off you go…

Something all gamers have always dreamt of, is having the same performance of their more than capable desktop computers when going on the road, but even the “gamer laptops” tended to be a little under powered compare to those bigger siblings.
All that is just about to change thanks to NVIDIA and their newly announced GeForce 10 series of GPU made for NoteBooks
Earlier this week, the company let us know that thanks to the new Pascal architecture made for laptops, we can now have the GTX1080, the 1070 and the 1060 running inside “ultra-portable” NoteBooks.
And according to them, you´ll see only 10% dropin performance compare to desktop cards and up to 3x better performance over previous generations.
Some of the specs we have are:
GeForce GTX 1080
GeForce GTX 1070
GeForce GTX 1060
GPU Architecture
Pascal

Frame buffer
8 GB GDDR5X

Up to 6 GB GDDR5
Memory type speed

3 Gbps
3 Gbps
Boost Clock Actual
1733 MHz
1645 MHz
1670 MHz
Thanks to Pascal, we also have VR ready laptops, with support even for 120Hz monitors.
By now, we’ve seems lots of OEMs jumping on the train to have the latest offers, but something to have in mind will be cost.
There’s no official price at the moment but the MSI computer that already carry the cards are nowhere near “cheap”.
So is up to you, Will you get your “portable Master Race PC” as soon as they become available? Or will you stick to game just at home?

PokemonGO is a huge success no matter how much you look at it,love it or hate it its huge and companies are cashing in everywhere in the world on it and sure why not,If the opportunity is there go for it…
Irishmen Jack Manning and johnniebell9have set up a new venture to provide users with products for PokemonGO and the first one has just been released costing just $10.Earlier this year we had seen products on etsy for the hugely popular game.
Jack Manning tells us…
So myself and Johnnie Bell have been good friends now for nearing 13 years. I went to play school with him so I’m nearly sick of him at this stage! During last year we set up our first business together called JC-Learn. This is an online study resource for JC students which is now expanding into the Leaving Cert.
Obviously JC-Learn is really only active during the school year so the summer had us a little bit bored. I did a few websites and marketing for small businesses but then when we both saw the Pokemon go craze kick off we knew we had to jump on it somehow. It was always in the back of my mind to create an ecommerce store just to widen the portfolio and I was searching for products. I then thought of a Pokemon go themed store. Obviously Pokemon go is just a fad so we didn’t want to completely brand as Pokemon go. The name Tech4Go gives us be ability to change over ‘trend’ as we like to call it.
When we saw the Pokemon go case we immediately knew it would be massive so decided this to be the first product. We are currently in the process of increasing our product range to include Pokemon themed power banks, normal phone cases and a few other things which we can’t release yet!
We actually set up the business without even meeting face to face with each other. I thought of the Pokemon idea standing in line getting on to a plane to Bulgaria and by the time I landed in Dublin after 2 weeks we had already made our first sale.
We don’t handle any of our goods as all of our products are drop shipped directly by the manufacturers which makes our job extremely easy!

Tesco Mobile which is an MVNO have launched a new prepay plan which some might find quite useful and especially for those on a budget. However this plan is given a specific end date and for now does not look like a long term plan and the offer is over on the 31st Jan 17 which applies to new and current customers,From where im standing this seems like a promo rather than a fixed rate deal for any lengthy period because as we know its now near the end of July which gives this deal 6 months at the new rate..
The Offer is available to all new and existing Tesco Mobile Prepay customers who top up by a minimum of €15 in one go every 30 days from 20th July 2016 and will run until 31st January 2017.
Customers are eligible for the Offer so long as they remain a Tesco Mobile Prepay customer and continue to top up by a minimum of €15 every 30 days. For the avoidance of doubt, customers who leave Tesco Mobile will no longer be eligible for the Offer.
To avail of the Offer, customers must top up by a minimum of €15 in one go every 30 days. Excludes any promotional top up credit received in that 30 day period.
If you top up again before the end of the 30 day term, then a new 30 day term starts. If you fail to complete the minimum top up before the end of a 30 day term then you will lose the Offer benefits and will be charged the new standard rates for calls & texts. However topping up by a minimum of €15 in one go will again give you 30 days of benefits.
The Offer applies to all standard Republic of Ireland mobile and landline calls and data usage in Ireland. It excludes international calls, roaming and calls to directory enquiries, premium rate numbers or any non-standard number, downloads while roaming.
To be eligible for UNLIMITED CALLS PLUS 10GB DATA customers must purchase a €15 top up either in store, online or at any participating location nationwide and top up your account.

If you haven’t heard of a VPN yet, it stands for Virtual Private Network. These extremely handy tools have been rising in popularity during recent years due to their many benefits. Once resigned to the world of internal corporation networks, these easy-to-use apps are now used by the general public all over the world. You may of heard players in the market like Surfshark but here is some others to check out. Many are being turned on to the concept in Ireland, with the Irish Times putting out a whole article around VPN’s in 2015. Here are some of the benefits of using one:
The Benefits of Using a VPN A VPN is extremely helpful to those concerned about security. It encrypts your data and allows you to use any WiFi network without worrying about hackers being able to intercept your details. Due to this, they also help you avoid malware and spam being sent your way in the future. Perhaps the most common usage for a VPN is to bypass geo-blocking restrictions. Since all devices are subject to blocks via their IP address, these virtual networks allow you to hide your location in order to access restricted content. This is extremely useful for regional sites such as Netflix whose listings are dependent on country. It’s also great for sports fans, as you can access and watch games that aren’t usually accessible in Ireland.
So, now you’ve got a basic rundown of the software, here are some recommendations:
1. Buffered VPN
Buffered VPN is quickly becoming the best service on the market. It was just rated Secure Thoughts’ Best VPN of 2016. Offering a watertight service which provides a constant connection and never drops out, you can browse freely and securely without having to worry about running into glitches.
Another fantastic benefit of using this provider is that they offer a 30-day guarantee and a comprehensive customer support system. They will work hard to resolve any problems you have and will give you a refund without hesitation if it fails to meet your standards. What makes this VPN better than any of the others on offer at the moment? It’s compatible with almost every device and operating system you can think of. It also has a great feature that kills all your apps and web pages if the connection does drop out. This ensures none of you details are put at risk. Click here to get it now.
ExpressVPN
Another option is ExpressVPN. You get a high quality service at a competitive price (when you take value into account). This option also boasts unlimited bandwidth and two connections on one account. This means you can easily stream, download and browse without running into problems. It also provides great customer service and an easy-to-use interface, making it a great choice for beginners.
The only real drawback is that Express VPN doesn’t come with the additional security features that Buffered offers. That’s the main difference between the two. This means that if you’re solely using your VPN to bypass geo-blocking, this one is probably the best option for you. Click here to get it now.
CyberGhost
If you don’t want to pay for a Virtual Private Network, there are plenty of free options available. That being said, these services have a significant amount of drawbacks. They often provide a questionable service and offer no customer support if things go wrong.
If you’re not planning on regular use, however, using a free one is still a great way to cut costs. Cyberghost is by far the best free VPN on the market. It ensures the same bandwidth as its paid competitors, although the speed might be somewhat affected. It also has a user-friendly interface. This product also has the added benefit of not logging your activity, which gives you an extra layer of privacy for users wanting to browse anonymously.
Consider This
If none of these VPNs seem right for you and you’re planning to do you own research, there are a few key elements to consider. First of all, the way a VPN works is to replace your IP address with that of the VPN server. Because of this, it’s important to ensure the service you choose will provide you with the IP address that you want. Check to see what countries a company has servers in.
Similarly, you need to establish your main reasons for use. If security is your priority, opting for a server with good reliability is essential. If you’re mainly going to be using it to stream Netflix, however, then bandwidth should be the main feature you look at. If you’re concerned about snooping, then I highly recommend ringing up some customer service departments and establishing how they handle user data. A VPN is an undeniably handy piece of software. There are countless options available. If you’ve had experiences with any of products mentioned or have your own suggestions to add, please leave a comment below to tell us what you think.
