TOKYO: Honda Motor Co. of Japan and U.S. automaker General Motors Co. agreed Thursday to work together in developing batteries for electric vehicles, mainly for the North American market. The companies will collaborate based on GM 's next-generation battery system, both sides said. That will allow both manufacturers to continue to keep distinct products, while saving on costs for customers, they said. Detroit-based GM and Tokyo-based Honda already work together on fuel cell vehicles , which are zero-emission and run on the power created when hydrogen fuel combines with oxygen in the air to produce water. They have a manufacturing joint venture to produce a hydrogen fuel cell system in 2020, including trying to make fuel cells and hydrogen storage more affordable. They also both have electric vehicles in their model lineup. Pressure is growing on automakers to become more environmentally friendly as well as develop other technology for vehicles such as semi-auton...

developers, Apple has announced that will allow developers to provide free trials to users for premium apps. This means that iPhone and iPad users will be able to get a trail version of premium apps before they purchase them. Previously, only subscription-based apps could only offer free trials to users. Apps that did not not have a subscription model couldn’t offer free trials. According to developers, the problem with that was users did not want to buy an expensive app before trying. This made it difficult to earn revenue. "Non-subscription apps may offer a free time-based trial period before presenting a full unlock option by setting up a Non-Consumable IAP item at Price Tier 0 that follows the naming convention: '14-day Trial," Apple said in its new guidelines. Apple has clearly mentioned that developer must state to the users what services or content will be available after the free-trial gets over. Last month, a group of App Store developers had ...

BEIJING: Chinese phone maker Huawei said today it has never collected or stored Facebook user data, after the social media giant acknowledged it shared such data with Huawei and other manufacturers. Huawei, a company flagged by US intelligence officials as a national security threat, was the latest device maker at the center of a fresh wave of allegations over Facebook's handling of private data. Chinese firms Huawei, Lenovo, Oppo and TCL were among numerous handset makers that were given access to Facebook data in a "controlled" way approved by Facebook, the social media company's vice president of mobile partnerships, Francisco Varela, said yesterday. Varela's statement came after The New York Times detailed how Facebook has given device makers deep access to data, including work history, relationship status and likes on device users and their friends. In a follow-up report, the Times said the recipients of Facebook data included Huawei and ot...

If there’s one thing Apple has consistently done with its iPhone is enhancing the camera performance with every passing year. Even the harshest of Apple’s critics and detractors would admit that camera is a strong point for Apple. However, it looks the company is about to take the camera to another level. The Cupertino-based tech giant’s latest patent reveals that Apple might be working on a new type of flash module that will work similar to D-SLR cameras. According to the patent, the flashlight module is called Dual Lens Camera Focusing Lighting Module’. This module will users to change the direction of the LED Flash.

The first sign that Infosys was dismantling the structure created by its former CEO Vishal Sikka came in October. One of Sikka’s pillars of growth was to be acquisitions and Infosys would spend as much as $1.5 billion in buying companies. However, his biggest buy–the $200 million acquisition of Israeli firm Panaya–turned out to be his undoing. When cofounder Nandan Nilekani returned to become the chairman of the Infosys board, he promptly took the axe to the onsite power centre that Sikka had created–Palo Alto. “I think this is a strategy, which has come about by a process of both top-down and bottom-up work. It’s a strategy which everybody has bought into. We see Palo Alto office as a listening post to the latest developments in tech happening in Silicon Valley ,” Nilekani said in October. Nilekani’s step took Infosys back to its roots–to an Indian power centre–a tactic practised by Indian IT companies for decades but one that’s holding them back now. Expe...

Definition Information Technology (IT)    Information technology (IT) is the use of any computers, storage, networking and other physical devices, infrastructure and processes to create, process, store, secure and exchange all forms of electronic data.Typically, IT is used in the context of enterprise operations as opposed to personal or entertainment technologies. The commercial use of IT encompasses both computer technology and telephony. The term information technology was coined by the Harvard Business Review , in order to make a distinction between purpose-built machines designed to perform a limited scope of functions and general-purpose computing machines that could be programmed for various tasks. As the IT industry evolved from the mid-20 th century, it encompassed transistors and integrated circuits -- computing capability advanced while device cost and energy consumption fell lower, a cycle that continues today when new technologies emer...

We're not far from a future when we'll all have devices like these that translate languages in real time. Several companies are working on earpieces that will transform the way people think about international business forever. Imagine a world with no language barriers at all – that's the goal for such companies as Pocketalk , Waverly Labs , Mymanu and ili , which are all currently pioneering wearable auditory translation technology. Google Translate has been an invaluable tool for translating language over the web, and with Google's Pixel Buds , it brings that technology to a near, instant translation device.

You can't talk about futuristic travel without talking about flying cars. One of the earliest renderings of a flying car (technically an aerial steam carriage) is from 1841. It seems that, as soon as man could move with ease on the ground, he wanted to abandon it for the sky. The dream of a future with flying cars is still alive thanks to such innovative companies as Urban Aeronautics , AeroMobil , PAL-V , Moller International and Terrafugia . While most of these are just in the concept stages, there are a few working prototypes like the Volocopter , which was shown off at the 2018 CES . Just think – instead of sitting through rush-hour traffic on your way to work, you could be soaring through the sky as you listen to podcasts and burn your tongue on overpriced coffee that you bought from a surly robotic barista with lug nuts for gauges.

Facebook quietly launched a video channel, Watch , on August 2017. On the desktop, you'll see a little TV that says, "Watch." The suggested videos on the Watch main page are based on a person's interests, likes and other activity on the social network. Like Amazon, Netflix, YouTube, and, recently, Apple, Facebook has sought high-profile producers to create original shows for them. It's been reported that the company has paid anywhere from $10,000 to $500,000 per episode for such exclusives, and may invest up to $1 billion this year on this endeavor. Facebook signed the WWE for a 12-episode wrestling tournament that premiered on January 16 on Facebook Watch. The social network is adding scripted shows, having signed actress Kerry Washington to produce a high school drama, and the producers of "True Blood " to produce a series. For now, Facebook Watch doesn't broadcast videos made by individuals. But the company plans to roll ...

There were rumblings of a worldwide 5G network last year, but it seems telecom and tech companies everywhere may be ready to make it a reality this year. Tech companies are ready to release a new wave of innovations that will require 5G connections, which will be a boon to consumers and businesses everywhere. The future of 5G, which refers to the fifth generation of mobile networks, was the subject of a keynote panel at the 2018 Consumer Electronic Show , with industry experts giving their outlook on the potential of the wireless technology and what consumers and industries can expect in the next few years. Generally speaking, the upgrade will mean faster uploads and downloads and better support for many devices simultaneously. The first set of standards for 5G were approved in December by 3GPP , the governing body that oversees industrywide standards for telecoms. Major telecoms are currently staging their rollout of 5G, with companies Verizon and AT&T planni...
