MIT Scientists Develop New Three Times Faster WiFi Technology

If you use your device to connect to the Internet in a big noisy environment, you would experience a slow communication. This is because, WiFi signals interfere with each other because there isn’t enough bandwidth on the wireless spectrum to handle all the traffic from the devices that are trying to use the spectrum at the same time.

MIT scientists claim to have created a new wireless technology with which Wi-Fi data rates can triple, while also doubling the range of the signal. Dubbed MegaMIMO 2.0, the system will soon be commercialized and could relieve the pressure on our increasingly crowded wireless networks. Multiple-input multiple-output, or MIMO technology helps network devices perform better by using multiple transmitters and receivers operating simultaneously, which then transmit and receive multiple data signal simultaneously. MIT's MegaMIMO 2.0 works by allowing multiple routers to work in harmony, sending data on the same piece of spectrum.

MIT claimed that during the tests MegaMIMO 2.0 was able to increase data transfer speed of four laptops connected to the same Wi-Fi network by morethan 300 percent. The technology is expected to be also applied to mobile networks to solve similar congestion issues.

Facebook Helps To Plan Your Vote With Facebook Voting Guide

On November 8, the United States of America will vote for the next president, as well as a couple of other races.

Soon You Could Unlock Chromebook With PIN

People who have used Chromebook should defenitely have come across the burden of typing your google account password everytime you log in to your Chromebook. Even though Google Chromebooks are known as one of the safest laptops, typing your google accounts master password every time to log on, has another risk of beeing overseen by others by standing in your back when you are loging on.

Now as another way of eliminating that risk, Google is creating a new feature to Chrome OS, a little easier for users to connect - PIN system available as an alternative to the name user and default password combo. Chrome OS users in the developer channel can now switch on this feature by  a simple tweak. Head to chrome://flags then enable chrome://flags/#quick-unlock-pin. Restart Chrome OS and open up the Material Design settings page to set up a PIN.

There is also another convenient way comming, which requires no typing at-all. The new feature which Google calls by the name - Smart Lock - allows users to unlock their Chromebook with a trusted Android device.
