Yahoo new redesign email applications update available for all devices


Yahoo new redesign email applications update available for all devices
Yahoo's new redesign of their email system which has been updated on the web and via the Yahoo email applications which are available for Apple iOS devices, Android and Windows 8.
Over the past year Yahoo has been working hard to reinvent itself since Marissa Mayer left Google to take up the position as CEO at Yahoo, and so far she seems to be doing a great job of turning the tide of the failing company.
The new Yahoo email redesign has been inspired by the layouts of Tumbler and Flickr both of which are now owned by Yahoo and all of which now have a similar and coherent design throughout.
Yahoo new redesign email applications update available for all devices
Currently Yahoo mail enjoys more than 100 million users on a daily basis, but when compared to Google’s Gmail competing service which enjoys around 450 million users on a daily basis, Yahoo still has some way to go before it will be worrying Google any time soon.
As well as rolling out a new redesign for their Yahoo mail service, Yahoo has also today removed the unlimited storage feature that was in effect on Yahoo mail accounts, replacing it with a 1TB cap. Which Yahoo says is enough space to hold nearly 6,000 years of email for the average user.

New curved display unveiled by Disney researchers

New curved display unveiled by Disney researchers
Disney researchers have this week unveiled a new curved display they have created to eliminate distortion by using 3D printing technology and inspiration from nature.
The new curved display has been created as a demonstration of face-to-face communication which utilises a new 3D printed displays as eyes. Watch the video after the jump to see the inspiration behind the new Disney curved displays and how they were created by the Disney research team.
Rather than using RGB pixels the curved display created by the Disney researchers uses fiber optic style tubes arranged is a fibonacci sequence layout that only occurs in nature. The team of Disney researchers explain the issues that are involved with this sort of project :
“PAPILLON is a technology for 3D printing highly expressive animated eyes for interactive characters, robots and toys. Expressive eyes are essential in any form of face-to-face communication and designing them has been a critical challenge in robotics, as well as in interactive character and toy development. Crucially, the traditional animatroncis approach is not applicable to fictional characters from animated movies, comics and cartoons whose eye expressions are non-realistic, highly exaggerated and can take any size and shape to communicate a character’s emotions and intentions, e.g. “dollar signs” for greed or a “heart” for romance.”
To know more information on the developments by the Disney researchers jump over to the Disney Research website for more details and demonstrations.

As per new report published this week has revealed a new feature that might be finally making its way to the Google Hangouts service, after being requested by Google Hangout users for some time
And also it will provide SMS and MMS integration to Google Hangouts and is expected to be available in the next version when Google Hangouts version 1.3 is launched.
Unfortunately no timescale has yet been released or announced by Google for the roll-out of the new Google Hangouts release and some suggest that it could even be included in the new Android 4.4 KitKat operating system update expected later this year.
Together with the new SMS and MMS integration, another feature expected to make an appearance in the new update is a video sharing feature that will be embedded within the Hangouts message application.
