A new app called Calorific developed by Nic Mulvaney will show you what 200 calories of your favourite food looks like,the devs have captured many photos of popular foods and you can see what calories are in selected food stuffs before you actually eat,it aims to help people be more aware of what their daily intake is which will be quite helpful for those who are trying to maintain a healthy living or who is currently on diet programmes.
Hard work has gone into the app with research,photos and products weighed all for your convenience.
Calorific shows you exactly what 200 calories look like with beautiful photography.
Why 200 calories? Because it’s a nice portion size and makes it easy to recognise roughly how many calories you are eating without needing to check the labels.
You’ve probably been told at some point how many calories you need to consume each day. But the concept of a calorie can be hard to grasp and understanding what foods contain how many calories can be even more difficult.
So what does 200 calories of any given food or drink actually look like? Well it turns out it’s a whole lot of spinach but only half a spoon of peanut butter!
Each food has been meticulously researched, weighed and photographed in high definition.
Features:
• Over 140 beautiful retina photographs
• Sort by name, weight or food type
• Compare interesting foods side by side

Drop is a new kitchen innovation created by four Irish techies that just so happened to have an empty stomach and an idea at the same time.
Drop is a teardrop shaped measuring plate that pairs with an iPad app to turn cooking into something that doesn’t bring on sighs of complaint. It brings you through preparation, cooking and even serving – but it also has a few tricks up it’s sleeve that make it even more appealing. The Drop app knows that there’s a high chance that we just used our last bottle of vanilla extract, or whatever ingredient you can’t find in the back of the press – so it suggests alternatives to these ingredients with the click of a button, pretty neat right?
As well as that, say you only have 300g of flour, but you need 400g, just tell the app this and it’ll automatically adjust the amount of all the other ingredients so that whatever you’re making still turns out great.
What really makes sure of this device’s success though is it’s tie in with Harvey-Norman stores, as Co- founder and CEO Ben Harris says that they’ll be “in every store in Ireland”. This is a great achievement for them as it will ensure great sales, speaking of which, the device is set to cost €99.95 and can be bought on the 24th of November.
Ever wondered how fast your son drove car when he was alone? Or wanted to know where he was going with his friends? Even better, wanted to know which direction you headed to while trekking or how high you have climbed or some complex physics? Well well I’m not trying to scare you with these questions, just introducing you with the unique Developer Device from the Haltian Visionary Labs the Thingsee. Yes, Thingsee is the answer to not only the questions asked there but to many more questions. We had an exclusive interview with dynamic Ville Ylläsjärvi, the 33 Year Old guy who is the Founder of Thingsee & Co Founder of Haltian. Read on to know more about Thingsee and what’s unique about this startup.
– Who are you guys?
Haltian is a Team of former Nokia people – we started the company roughly 2 years ago, and have since grown to a company employing over 70 great engineers & visionaries. We used to work at Nokia, in a team building completely new types of products.
– How did Thingsee idea come up?
We were working on a real-time asset tracking project inside Haltian Visionary Labs and our engineers were constantly talking about many other uses for the hardware. We realised the same system could be used in many, many other use cases as well – and also was a better fit for what we know best.
– What is your product Thingsee One?
Thingsee One is the World´s first smart developer device. It is a sensor device built to sense the surroundings and create meaning of real life events. It is meant for people who have ideas around how to use the internet of things to their advantage, be it in business and in life. With Thingsee, we want to also introduce a great tool for people to build new businesses without needing to invest in a hardware team. In a way, they get our expertise in Hardware design along the Thingsee One.
– What are the capabilities of Thingsee One?
We wanted to create something that is ultimately mobile – meaning that you can leave it behind to monitor or track stuff when you are gone. We included GSM, so that you´ll get the data & events from almost anywhere. We included a lot of sensors, because quite often the data the users get turns out to be useful in the end. We also added some very new sensors and connectivity, so that people can come up with new and crazy stuff. We made Thingsee One open source so that we are more an enabling, rather than a producing company. We aim at being one of the most user-friendly open source companies out there.
– Who is the team Thingsee?
The core Team is now Me (Ville) that got Thingsee started, Pasi Jokinen, the web services wizard and Anu Lapola – the make-it-all-happen, In addition we have a great team of engineers and designers working on Thingsee project at Haltian.
– What are the Future plans?
We want to change things. We imagine that individuals and startups can compete head-to-head with established companies with their services & applications. We imagine people doing all sorts of new innovations with Thingsee. We imagine students learning to code with Thingsee. It Is quite nice to think that instead of investing over one million Euros into HW development, one brilliant entrepreneur can start with a few hundred Euros and a highly competitive offering
– Who are your partners?
We have built Thingsee using high quality components from global manufacturers. We will be announcing partnerships in the near future. However, we are also an open company and want to remain in an open dialogue with everyone.
Introducing Thingsee One:
Thingsee One is a developer device which is loaded with sensors to sense your surrounding and give you exactly what data you are looking for connected with your phone. It is beautiful piece of tech, with top notch build quality in a water resistant shell, with a monochrome display. Take a look at the official video to know what am I taking about.
Key Features:
• Open source developer device designed for Internet of Things innovations
• Ready to be used out of the box, comes with a mobile application and connection to a Thingsee server for demonstration and development purposes
• Thingsee OS has a Smart purpose engine that makes it possible to create events of the sensor data on the device
• Ultra low power hardware design with adaptive power consumption • Designed for mobility with cellular connectivity and long battery life
• Usable outdoors with shock and water resistant IP67 mechanics
• A-GPS/GNSS location
• Wide variety of power optimized MEMS sensors: 3D accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope, temperature, humidity, pressure and ambient light
• Wireless local connectivity with WLAN and future proof Bluetooth LE 4.1
• Extendable: more sensors can be connected via BT or using free serial interfaces on PWB.
Currently Thingsee One can be pre ordered for $149. You can meet the team at Slush coming this week and also at Mobile Web Congress.
Let us know what do you feel about it in the comments section below and thank you very much team Thingsee for your valuable time.
At this moment, practically every mobile manufacturer are trying to have the bigger and better displays units on their phones, but only few has manage to accomplish this task.
4″ and 736 ppi
In a world where QHD 5+” is becoming the new standard, Sharp amaze the world presenting the new 4.1 inch IGZO displays with an insane resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels Or 736 ppi!!
According to Sharp this new display will bring the same experience of a 6-inch 4K screen. Even when no matter how good your eyes are or how many times people tell you great thing about your “eagle eyes”, you’ll never tell the difference on that size.
Tech description
What’s really important here is what the future will bring to the table, personally I don’t think having a 2K or higher display in such small size is a decisive factor.
But, is up to you! Tell us in the coments below if having the sharpest displays is a deal breaker or maker for you!
New tech in today and its the new Moto 360 smartwatch and it looks quite nice so far on first inspection.
Included with the packaging is the Watch itself,instructions,desktop charger and plug that is it sure what more do you need..A fully charged battery would be nice for first use hey…. Have a look at the gallery and unboxing below,and we shall talk more soon.
To buy the Moto 360 here in Ireland you can head up north or import from UK ,if you have a parcel motel account you will find it much easier to import from sites that do not ship to Ireland which is a bit silly in this day and age.
The Moto 360 cost €249 which is a pricey watch but its the best looking out there now at the moment in my opinion..
Recently MixRadio Music Connects 2014 an annual get together of the musicians, concluded in India and brought in loads of cheers to the music lovers giving them more reasons to love the free Music Streaming service MixRadio (exclusive to Nokia devices). I’m personally a huge fan of MixRadio as it knows what I want to listen. The more you use the better music suggestions it gives you.
So here I’m covering one interesting feature which got introduced at Music Connects 2014. Now you can share what you are playing on MixRadio with your friends even without doing anything extra, just continue listening the song and its shared on all the social media you choose to.
MixRadio now allows you to share what you are listening to through IFTTT all you have to do is, just sign up and add the recipes. The APIs take the feed directly as you listen and post them on your behalf.
After signing up in IFTTT you will be directed to your dashboard, where you have to choose MixRadio, connect it to IFTTT with your Nokia account (the one used on MixRadio). Now add the recipe to your account on IFTTT and there you are good to share what you listening to.
You can add any number of recipe and they will be triggered once you are done listening. Do comment below for any questions or queries. Happy listening & sharing.
