Optical Fibre now can handle more data


With the amount of internet connected devices increasing day-by-day, the capacity to handle them must also increase. Not to forget that the means for faster internet will also increase. Researchers have come up with a solution for this.
Engineers from University of California have worked on this regard and have come up with a new research that would  increase fiber optic capacity nearly 20 times by successfully sending a signal through 7456 miles cable without the need of any electrical generators.
This news has come handy at a time when there was a panic on knowing that the standard optical fibre cables can't handle the growing capacity of internet connected devices.
With this, people can expect a faster internet speed once these cables are used. Although, it would buy some time to implement these fibres into practical environment.

5G network speed determined as 20mbps


Sounds like a nightmare isn't it? But it's not. The International Telecommunication Union(ITU) has agreed upon on a 5G speed of 20mbps . A conference was held in San Diego(June 10th to 18th) to decide on the future successor of 4G. The 12 member delegation had met to draw the specifications on it.
Comparing to 4G,5G would have speeds up to 20mbps(not that it may not be exactly 20mbps) than the present 4G network which means that it would be almost 20% faster.The big increase in the speed would mean that one can easily access a 4K content hasslefree.
Although, this is just a beginning, the final details on the 5G network would be only available in the month of October with the approval of all the 193 members of the ITU.

Beware: android factory reset doesn't fully erase your data


Sounds interesting isn't it? No, this is going to view your brains. Recent studies has proved that you would leave traves of data on your android even though you factory reset your device proving to be one of the biggest flaws on android devices.
Study by Cambridge University has reported that the device retained old user's data that include data from sms, emails, photos, contact information on from WhatsApp, Facebook and other third party apps. The studies were conducted on android devices (from 21 manufactures) running on 2.3 to 4.3 versions of android.
Coming to the most worrying part is that these data was accessible even though the device had full encryption enabled. The researchers were also able to access user's Google data.
So guys before your phone is involved in buying and selling through seconds, think of this before you do so as almost 500 million android phones are at risk.
