Meet #Mizu, world’s first personalized restaurants menus by @Tiwaash #Food #Dublin #iOS

Hey folks, we have something special for the foodie lovers in Dublin. We were approached by a dynamic guy, who was bubbling with new concept and ideas to help people find where and who offers, what they are looking for… Curious?? Well we were too to know what exactly Youssef Sarhan, Designer and Co-Founder Mizu had in his mind.

Read on to know what’s here for people who love to eat out from Mizu.

What is Mizu?
We all have a very different taste and diets. Some of us love chicken, some of us think it’s boring. Some of us love pasta, some of avoid it while others prefer to stay vegetarian. So, here is where this new idea of Mizu came up.

Well, Mizu is a new mobile app for iPhone which understands your taste and diet.

screen322x572-6

When you download Mizu, you tell the app what you do and don’t like to eat – this helps Mizu understand your taste and diet and match you with great nearby food. “Think of it as a dating app for food, the perfect relationship” says Youssef.

Once you’ve told Mizu what you do and don’t like to eat, Mizu shows you a list of great nearby restaurants – complete with opening hours and directions. Isn’t that great? Mizu is being your Personal Assistant to your taste buds.

When you browse a restaurants menu on Mizu, dishes are presented in an order which matches your taste and diet. So, this makes finding the perfect dish super fast. Say for example, if you like chicken, chicken dishes are filtered to the top, and if you don’t like pork, pork dishes are pushed to the bottom. This is great for customers and businesses. Everyone wins! You know what and where you want to eat and businesses know what to offer to you.

Mizu comes with a learning algorithm, which gets better the more you use to make it offer you the best options. Mizu also integrates your social networking sites where you can share the dish or it even allows you to rate or comment on a particular restaurant, so your friends and family know what you liked our didn’t like at the particular restaurant.

Mizu is a totally unique concept, nobody is doing anything like this in the food-tech space yet.

Mizu is a start up based in Dublin, Ireland and they are looking for expansion and proposals. This wonderful app is exclusively available to iOS at the moment, which can be downloaded here. We wish the team a very good luck for the future.

Let us know your on this revolutionary experience of browsing restaurant’s menu in the comments below or tweet us using #TechBuzzIreland.

Stay tuned for more tech buzz.

One Plus sent out a teaser the other day and off the cuff most got it right,well to an extent,its not a case that snaps on though,not only that its not cheap either costing €99.99 and is available now,however expensive is not always a bad thing as some do like to fork out on a special case for the mobile.The case comes on one colour.

 

The case is Genuine Tuscan leather, 100% wool felt.

Hard Graft have brought their Tuscan leather expertise to the exclusive Wild Phone Case for OnePlus 2. Subtle Italian craftsmanship is brought to life with their signature ash grey washed and traditionally tanned leather. For those who prefer to let the true design of their device come out to play, and stylishly protect it when it needs it.

The case holds about 4 cards and is fingerprint free according to the site and is made from premium materials and its a soft leather with two pockets

So that is just about it really,what do you think..I think fans will be rather disappointed.

Royal College of Surgeons launch new health app with real info. #Apps #Health

Google is your friend when searching for problems but it can be also be your enemy whilst searching for information concerning health and in some cases it can be fatal but with the technology available today we are starting to see more and more in – house apps from real practitioners something similar to an app we featured a while ago called Touch Surgery

 

The Royal College of Surgeons have released a new app though which gives information on certain issues and will hopefully prevent people from using search engines as a source of info which can be mixed across the board.Self diagnosing is not wise but we have all done myself included so there is no denying that it is something there for people to do and even if its just out of curiosity or perhaps searching on someone else’s behalf…

On opening the app you are presented with 4 icons as pictured above and you can then set up your own profile which is non intrusive on information,In the search option you will be presented with an alphabetical list and then you can open the desired selection and get information.There is also some news categories to chose from too if you want to keep up to speed on the latest info at hand on health etc. So far on testing the app its quite smooth and responsive and its an excellent job and idea and would like to see more like it..

There is also a feature to store your own health information such as blood type, weight, height and to calculate your BMI. The app also includes a very useful feature that lists all the hospitals in Ireland and contact information for each hospital as well as emergency services information.

Sony scales back on its waterproof policy. #Sony #Mobile #Waterproof

Sony has numerous devices touting good IP ratings and of course dust ratings but when water does get in this is a problem for users under warranty and devices not being repaired so we can now see the true meaning of waterproof devices,they are not,simple as,flaps not closed correctly,ports,earpiece,mic and so on, water will get in somewhere and even though devices have a rating this depends on how long the device has been submerged,In short I personally would not use a device underwater or in a shower as I do not buy this splash-proof/waterproof jargon.This notice will apply to the Z3+ and the upcoming Z5 ,Accidents do happen I might add and perhaps Sony should allow more leeway..

Some of Sonys statements below..

Your device has an IP rating. This means that under a strictly controlled laboratory environment, the hardware works as designed even after being exposed to specific conditions.

Sony devices that are tested for their waterproof abilities are placed gently inside a container filled with tap water and lowered to a depth of 1.5 metres. After 30 minutes in the container, the device is gently taken out and its functions and features are tested.

If you’re at the dinner table and accidentally spill water all over your device, you don’t have to worry. Just allow the device to dry out completely.

Caught in the rain while waiting at the bus stop? Not a problem. Your Xperia device can handle raindrops falling on your head, as well as your screen.

Do you spend time relaxing at the tub after a hard day at work? Watch a movie on your Xperia device. Just make sure you don’t submerge your device in bath water and you wash off those soap suds when you’re done.

Other ways to use your device

  • When your fingers are wet.
  • In dusty environments, such as a windy beach or when hiking along a dusty trail. Just make sure you wash off all the dust on your device using water from the tap afterwards.
  • Taking photos and movies in wet surroundings. Remember not to use the device underwater. If you accidentally get the device wet with non-fresh water, wash the device with tap water.

Head over to Sony for the full deets.

One plus is good at teasing folk and lets be honest One Plus fans love it,they like being kept on their toes and the company surely does this with its teasers,today they gave a teaser of just an image saying…

Something luxurious is coming to OnePlus. What could it be?

Well it could be anything but for now we would make it out to be a leather back following the LG G4 trend which some like and others dislike which is perfectly normal,we all have our own desired choice and looks.. People are also saying it could be a cover with NFC built in but i doubt that very much,others say an xmas devices,well i also doubt this be the case too..

Never walk home alone again with “Companion App” #Apps #Safety

Waking home alone is not the wise move to make late at night and especially with the dark nights upon us daylight hours are less thus leaving some vulnerable earlier,the same applies now to the morning time as Winter approaches,this is when you might be potentially attacked which is the last thing one would want to happen.. Regardless prevention is better than cure and you should try to remain in a group or at least have a taxi or lift but it does happen when we may ramble on or continue to walk whilst trying to hail a cab..

There is now a new app to give you company if you will and you can have someone remotely monitor your journey home and its called Companion App which is a peer to peer operation via your smartphone..You can pick family members or friends who do not actually have to have the app installed and they can monitor your moves and it alerts them if there is no response and you can contact local authorities.
