There was no more exciting time to be a peripheral fan than 1999. For me, someone who loved the custom controls of the arcades, the Dreamcast was a fantasy. Its Visual Memory Unit (VMU) was a memory card with a screen that slotted into the controller -- and a micro-console in its own right. Games like <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Power Stone</em> and <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Seaman</em> let you load mini-games onto the VMU to play on the go, but more interesting was its dual-screen potential.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; display: block; font-family: "Guardian TextEgyp", serif !important; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 25px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
The VMU could display information, like your health in <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Resident Evil</em> or plays in <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">NFL 2K</em>, right on your controller. These features were ahead of their time -- it wasn't until the Wii U GamePad came along that we saw a company go all in on dual-screen gaming. (The DS and its successors don't really perform the same task.) But the VMU was only the beginning of Sega's plan to expand the Dreamcast.</div>

There was the Dreamcast Gun, a wired light gun that let you slide a VMU or Jump Pack (for rumble support) into the top. There was the microphone attachment that slotted in underneath the VMU in your controller, to let you talk to the weird fish-with-a-face virtual pet in <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Seaman</em>.</div>

Then there were the standalone peripherals. Who can forget the Sega Fishing Controller, which, as well as making <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Sega Bass Fishing</em> incredible, also acted as a Wii-like motion controller in <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Virtua Tennis </em>and <i style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Soul Calibur</i>?

For context, the Dreamcast was on sale for just a year and a half in the West, and less than a year longer in the rest of the world. The number of accessories, the number of innovative ideas realized in that time, is just ridiculous.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With Sega's hardware days long behind it, Nintendo took up some of the slack. The Wii had add-ons for the Wiimote, including an analog nunchuck, a MotionPlus sensor pack and a "Classic Controller." There were also peripherals that integrated a Wiimote slot into their design -- namely a steering wheel and a gun -- as well the standalone Balance Board for <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Wii Fit</em>. Oh, and somewhat serendipitously, there was a maracas shell for the Wiimote to play <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Samba de Amigo</em>.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
That innovation in peripherals all but died with the Wii U, though. The GamePad was certainly innovative in itself, but its all-in-one nature killed any chance for peripherals that weren't Amiibos. But there's a chance that peripherals could return in a big way with Nintendo's latest console, the Switch. A portable tablet with slide-on "Joy-Con" controllers, it takes the modular spirit of the VMU and applies it to the system as a whole. And a Switch concept by one artist, <a href="https://twitter.com/ryansalamanda/status/778693885635592192" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: currentcolor; border-image: initial; border-left-color: inherit; border-right-color: inherit; border-style: inherit; border-top-color: inherit; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">posted on Twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.polygon.com/2016/10/20/13351936/nintendo-switch-controller-concepts" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: currentcolor; border-image: initial; border-left-color: inherit; border-right-color: inherit; border-style: inherit; border-top-color: inherit; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">highlighted by<em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Polygon</em></a>, truly impresses me.</div>

Ryan Salamanda imagines a world of add-ons that slide onto the right side of the main tablet to "augment" the controls. There's a <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Yo-kai Watch</em>attachment complete with a spinning disc and light-up button. There's a<em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Pokemon Snap</em> add-on with zoom dial and shutter key. There's even one with a fishing reel, as well as an attachment that mimics a GameCube controller. Salamanda's vision of what was then known as the "NX" was that, for certain games, you'd be able to buy the game packaged with a custom controller.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
It's a great idea. The Dreamcast brought the magic of arcades into a 15-year-old me's bedroom. The Switch detailed by Salamanda would let me bring that excitement with me wherever I went. Would I feel stupid frantically spinning a wheel on a bus? Sure. But I want it so bad, nonetheless.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
I've been arguing on and off with my colleague Nick Summers all morning about whether this is a good idea. His point is that peripherals are great because they look and feel like a complete object. "Even the craziest of Joy-Cons can't hide the fact you're holding a seven-inch screen," he says. That's valid, but I feel like the need to make that complete object has stopped many companies from doing so. By producing small, focused add-ons, perhaps based around a reference design, Nintendo and its partners could make these peripherals happen for a much lower cost than they would producing one-off, standalone accessories. And if that's what it takes for me to return, after 15 bass-less years, to that feeling of reeling in a giant fish, it'll all be worth it.</div>

It's unclear if the Switch won't be able to run digital games either, but if you were hoping to play your favorite 3DS titles on a 50-inch screen just for the heck of it, you may want to temper your expectations.</div>

The gaming titan also clarified that the Switch is a brand new platform and not a direct successor to either the Wii U or the 3DS. According to a Reddit thread, someone asked a representative during the Nintendo Investor Relations' Q&A if the console is replacing the 3DS. The rep reportedly answered that the company is still considering releasing a separate 3DS successor at a later date.*</div>

Nintendo might have been merely trying to cover all the bases. By saying the Switch is not a direct 3DS successor, the company can release one without losing face if the hybrid ends up flopping like the Wii U. But it could also be seriously considering a new standalone handheld console, which is fantastic news for those immune to the hybrid's charms.</div>

However, <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Engadget's</em> Japan Editor (Mat Smith) said his answer's exact translation is "We're still considering a separate successor to the 3DS." We can't confirm the identity of Reddit's source, however, and Nintendo still hasn't gotten back to us with more details about the console, so take this with a grain of salt.</div>

Apple has filed a lawsuit against Mobile Star LLC for manufacturing fake Apple chargers and cables and passing them off on Amazon as authentic goods. According to the details of the lawsuit posted by <a href="http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2016/10/apple-sues-mobile-star-for-selling-counterfeit-power-adapters-and-charging-cables-through-amazon.html" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; border-bottom-color: currentcolor; border-image: initial; border-left-color: inherit; border-right-color: inherit; border-style: inherit; border-top-color: inherit; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;"><em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border-color: inherit; border-image: initial; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Patently Apple</em></a>, Cupertino bought and tested over 100 Lightning cables and chargers marked "Fulfilled by Amazon" over the past nine months. The result? Around 90 percent of the chargers were fake. Now, we all know there's an abundance of counterfeit Apple goods out there, but people tend to trust listings sold by Amazon itself. And in this case, Amazon clearly stated that the items were "original." Check out one example below the fold to see what we mean.</div>

When Apple got in touch with Amazon about the issue, the website told the former that it got most of its chargers from Mobile Star LLC. The iPhone-maker stressed that since counterfeit cables and chargers don't go through consumer safety testing and could be poorly designed, they're prone to overheating and catching fire. They might even electrocute users. Tim Cook and co. are now asking the court to issue an injunction against the defendant. They also want the court to order the seizure and destruction of all the fake chargers in addition to asking for damages.</div>

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard by now about <a href="http://bloggeria5.blogspot.in/2016/09/how-to-get-reliance-jio-sim-without-lyf.html" style="color: #da0000; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none; width: auto;">Reliance Jio</a> and want to know if<br />
getting on the network is worth it. Reliance is giving away free SIM cards to everyone with unlimited<br />
free usage of the network until December 31, and unlimited use of Jio's different services, which<br />
include news, music, and video on demand. However, your phone may not be compatible with the<br />
network and one device that could help bring your whole house online is the Reliance Jio JioFi.<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" id="zd_async_frame_zt_704675_1" name="zd_async_frame_zt_704675_1" scrolling="no" style="height: 1px; width: 1px;"></iframe></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; width: 770px;">
<span style="color: #3e433e;">Given how cheap calling is in India, the reason most people are interested in Jio right now is to access </span><br />
<span style="color: #3e433e;">free, fast, and unlimited data. As of now, mobile data in India is still pretty expensive - for example, a </span><br />
<span style="color: #3e433e;">1GB pack in Karnataka from Vodafone will set you back by Rs. 265. Reliance Jio has changed all that </span><br />
<span style="color: #3e433e;">with </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">data as low as Rs. 25 per GB.</span></div>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; width: 770px;">
As we write this before everyone gets access to the Reliance Jio network from Monday, the speeds are<br />
great and there are no FUPs. Consuming 10GB of mobile data on another network would be<br />
inconceivable, but many people are consuming that much in a single day with Jio, and that's likely to<br />
continue at least during the preview offer.</div>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; width: 770px;">
Many people are just getting a Jio SIM and then switching on the Wi-Fi hotspot on their phones. The<br />
problem with this is that it drains the phone's battery, and thus limits the usefulness. That's where the<br />
JioFi comes into the picture.</div>

<span style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "open sans" , "helveticaneue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">The JioFi is a personal hotspot - the kind of thing you've seen some all mobile carriers. </span><br />
<span style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "open sans" , "helveticaneue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">The Reliance JioFi is a small device that will fit into your pocket, and acts as a bridge between the 4G network and a local Wi-Fi network that it creates, which your phone, </span><br />

Interestingly, you can use the Jio Join app on your phone to place calls or send messages<br />
through the JioFi. This means that even if your phone does not support 4G, you can make<br />
full use of Reliance Jio's network thanks to the JioFi.</div>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;">
The Reliance JioFi comes with a Reliance Jio SIM that, once activated, can be used to<br />
connect to the network. You can of course use SIM cards of other operators in the JioFi if<br />
needed, though obviously you will need to pay for usage on that network.</div>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;">

<strong>How to buy a Reliance JioFi?</strong><br />
Just walk into the nearest Reliance Digital/ Reliance Digital Xpress Mini store and purchase<br />
a JioFi. You'll need to carry a passport photo, one photo ID, and an address proof. Once you<br />
fill out the<br />
forms the number will be activated, and you'll have to call 180089011977 for televerification -<br />
the exact steps<br />
are given on the package and it's pretty straightforward.</div>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;">
The store executives say that the process should happen within four hours, though in our<br />
experience with getting two Reliance Jio connections activated, it took more than a day each<br />
time.</div>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;">
<strong>Reliance JioFi Price and tariff plans</strong><br />
The JioFi is priced at Rs. 1,999, down from its earlier price of Rs. 2,899 and data is free to<br />
use until December 31. As of now, the company has made no statement about what the<br />
plans will be post that date, though they are likely to be similar, if not better, than what's<br />
being offered to other Jio SIM card holders.</div>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;">
That's all you need to know in order to get a Reliance Jio JioFi. Stay tuned for a detailed<br />
review of the JioFi and Reliance Jio network.</div>

Reliance Jio is still not at the point of a commercial rollout, so it's too early to say what the actual<br />
user experience will be like on the network. Even the actual pricing has to be announced - as of now,<br />
not much is clear really about the network. But you can sign up for Jio and enjoy high-speed<br />
connectivity without paying a paisa, and free <em>hai</em> to <em>acha hai</em>, right? That's right, each Reliance Jio<br />
SIM comes with at least three months of free, unlimited data usage, voice calls, SMS, and access to<br />
Jio services like JioOnDemand.</div>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; width: 770px;">
The commercial rollout of Jio will no doubt affect speeds, network availability, and could lead to<br />
call drops as well - while other networks, which stand to lose customers in the process, might actually<br />
see some improvement in their services. That's all hypothetical though - but for now, we are really<br />
enjoying using our Jio account, and would recommend that you try and get one too.</div>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; width: 770px;">
There are a few different ways in which you can get a Reliance Jio SIM. The network works on 4G,<br />
and uses VoLTE for calls, but the latter is not available on old phones. There is an app called JioJoin<br />
that Reliance offers which works around this through VoIP calling, in case your phone doesn't support<br />
VoLTE, so it isn't a very big problem. The easiest way to get your hands a Reliance Jio SIM is to buy a<br />
Lyf phone by Reliance Retail.</div>

Reliance Retail's Lyf range of phones hasn't been getting the most spectacular reviews, but it's the<br />
easiest way to get a new Reliance Jio SIM right now. Just walk into a Reliance Digital Store, ask for<br />
a new Lyf phone, and you're live on Reliance Jio. You can get a phone for as little as Rs. 3,000, and<br />
you'll get three months of free, unlimited Internet access and calling along with it.</div>

We can inform you that buying a phone like this, turning on the Wi-Fi hotspot, and using 4G<br />
to power your entire home's Internet access, works just fine, and the speed and reliability<br />
(at the moment) is better than most broadband connections at home.</div>

This gives you free, unlimited data, calling, and access to all of Reliance Jio's apps for three<br />
months, or until the commercial launch of Reliance Jio, whichever is later. But if you don't<br />
want to carry around an extra handset everywhere you go, or don't want to buy another<br />
phone just to get a Reliance Jio SIM there are other options.</div>

If you have a 4G compatible phone, you can get started with Jio, here's what you need to do<br />
to get a Reliance Jio SIM:</div>

<strong>1) Make friends with someone working for Reliance</strong><br />
The easiest way to get a Jio SIM is to know someone who works with Reliance. The company<br />
<a href="http://bloggeria5.blogspot.in/2016/09/reliance-jio-opens-4g-services-to.html" style="color: #da0000; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none; width: auto;">allows employees to refer</a> a certain number of people to get Jio SIMs that can be used in your<br />
phone. Most Reliance employees are probably used to getting friend requests on Facebook<br />
from people that just want a SIM, so you might want to try one of the other methods instead.</div>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;">
<strong>2) The Reliance Jio SIM Preview offer</strong><br />
The partner offer is the easiest way of getting a Reliance Jio SIM if you have any of the eligible<br />
phones. As of writing this report, the Jio Preview offer has been extended to smartphones by<br />
Samsung, HTC, Micromax, Sony, Vivo, Intex, Lava, Gionee, Panasonic, Asus, Xolo, LG,<br />
Karbonn, Videocon, YU, Sansui, Alcatel, and TCL.</div>

Just follow these steps on a qualifying smartphone:</div>
<ol style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 20px;">
<li style="list-style: decimal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Download & Open <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jio.myjio&hl=en" style="color: #da0000; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">MyJio App</a> from Play Store</li>
<li style="list-style: decimal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Tap on <strong>Get Jio SIM</strong> on the Banner</li>
<li style="list-style: decimal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Tap on <strong>Agree & Get Jio offer</strong></li>
<li style="list-style: decimal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Select your location from the drop down</li>
<li style="list-style: decimal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Read through the steps and click on <strong>Next</strong></li>
<li style="list-style: decimal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Offer Code can be viewed on the screen. Note down your offer code.</li>
</ol>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;">
Once that's done, you will get a bar code that you need to take to a Reliance Digital where<br />
you have to show your phone and you'll get a SIM. Remember to carry a photograph for the<br />
form, and your photo ID, and the staff will do the rest. Quick tip: in our experience - and what<br />
many other people online are also telling us - the Reliance Digital Xpress Mini Stores are<br />
much more efficient about this process than the larger Reliance Digital stores.</div>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;">
Note that though only a few phones qualify for the Reliance Jio SIM under this offer, you can<br />
still use this SIM on other phones if you want.</div>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;">
<strong>3) Get a JioFi Portable Wi-Fi hotspot</strong><br />
Jio is also keen to go after users at home, taking on broadband providers and not just other<br />
phone networks. One of the easiest ways to get a Reliance Jio SIM is to get the JioFi router.<br />
Launched first for HP customers, anyone can now get the JioFi router, with three months of<br />
free 4G data, although you have to pay Rs. 2,899 for the wireless compact router. That still<br />
works out to less than Rs. 1,000 a month for free, unlimited, fast data, so it's a pretty good<br />
deal considering that unfair FUPs are the norm on all other networks.</div>

The JioFi is a small Mi-Fi device that can create a Wi-Fi zone that up to 31 devices can<br />
connect to SIMultaneously; great for taking your phone, laptop, and tablet online all at once.<br />
It takes three hours to charge, and can be used to broadcast a signal for six hours on battery,<br />
so you can use it at home or on the go. To buy the router, you just need to get it from a<br />
Reliance Digital store. You'll need the same documents you need for a SIM card, and you'll<br />
have to televerify in the same manner, but then you're up and running.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;">
<strong style="color: #3e433e;">4) Ask nicely at your local Reliance Digital</strong><br />
<span style="color: #3e433e;">Owners of </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">any 4G smartphone</span><span style="color: #3e433e;"> can walk in to select Reliance Digital and Xpress Mini stores </span><br />
<span style="color: #3e433e;">and get their hands on a Reliance Jio SIM, complete with the Jio Preview offer. The catch is </span><br />
<span style="color: #3e433e;">that the offer is only available in select outlets, which can offer Jio SIM cards to customers at </span><br />
<span style="color: #3e433e;">their discretion. You can try asking nicely at your local outlet... and if that doesn't work, try at </span><br />
<span style="color: #3e433e;">a few other stores as well until someone feels bad and gives you the SIM.</span></div>
<div style="color: #3e433e; font-family: "Open Sans", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; width: 770px;">
All these methods can help you get a Jio connection right away, before the actual consumer<br />
launch in the "coming months". Have you got a Reliance Jio SIM? What's your experience<br />
been like? Tell us via the comments.</div>

<li>Log in to <a href="http://bloggeria5.blogspot.in/search/label/blogger">Blogger</a>, and on your Blogger Dashboard, click the Design link.</li>
<li>Click the Edit HTML tab.</li>
<li>Click the Download Full Template link and save it to your computer.</li>
<li>Make a note of the file name and where you saved it in case you need it later!</li>

<li>Click the Upload button.</li>

If you already have some existing widgets on your <a href="http://bloggeria5.blogspot.in/search/label/blogger">Blogger blog</a>, you may get a warning message asking whether you want to keep them or delete them. If you want to preserve the work you’ve done before, click the Keep Widgets button. If you don’t need them anymore, click the Delete Widgets button.</div>
<div class="child-para" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 20px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 5px; overflow: visible; padding-left: 45px;">

Some free Blogger templates you find on the web may be incompatible with the most recent version of <a href="http://bloggeria5.blogspot.in/search/label/blogger">Blogger</a>. If this happens to you, you’ll either have to find someone very smart who knows how to edit XML, or you’ll have to find a different template to upload! You can also reinstall the template you downloaded as a backup, or use the Template Designer.</div>

The major problem is for BlogSpot bloggers, for some reasons Google AdSense, doesn’t entertain BlogSpot bloggers. One of the most common reason BlogSpot bloggers get is <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; max-height: 1e+06px;">Issue with page type. </span> One easy way to get AdSense account with a BlogSpot blog is grabbed a custom domain, create a professional Email address and apply for AdSense account. This works, in 70% of cases. But, in case if you don’t have money to spend on a domain, here is a free trick which will get you an AdSense account approval with co.cc domain.</div>

If your BlogSpot account have sufficient number of post (<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; max-height: 1e+06px;">minimum 20+</span>) then it’s easy to get your AdSense account approved. If you have <span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700; max-height: 1e+06px;">personal domain and host</span> chances of AdSense approval are very high.</div>

The company says it's rearranged of few things in its back-end and can reverse bans on a "small subset" of accounts. That won't apply to accounts doing nothing but remotely accessing and capturing Pokemon, taking part in gym battles or grabbing supplies from Pokéstops. In fact, it sounds like bans for those terms-of-service-violating activities will become even more strict.</div>

If you held off on last year's Roku 4, the company's next batch of media players might be for you. The big upgrade this time around is the addition of HDR support in the high-end "Roku Ultra" and "Roku Premiere Plus" (which replaces the Roku 3), <a href="http://zatznotfunny.com/2016-08/roku-preps-express-premiere-ultra-models-plus-hdr/" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Zats Not Funny reports</a> from a few leaks. And, as you can probably tell, it looks like Roku is giving up on its numbered naming scheme in exchange for something more obtuse (I'm already dreading explaining the differences to confused shoppers).</div>

<div class="grid@tl+" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px inherit inherit; box-sizing: inherit; font-size: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px -40px; padding: 0px;">

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
While the Roku 4 was last year's only model to include 4K support, it looks like the Premiere (replacing the Roku 2), Premiere Plus and Ultra models will all include it this year. That makes sense, now that 4K TVs are getting significantly cheaper. At the same time, it makes the argument for the company's highest end player harder to accept. The Ultra will reportedly be the only model to include optical out and a remote control finder, but it sounds like the Premiere Plus with HDR and 4K will be best buy for most.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
On the low-end, the $50 Roku 1 will be replaced by the Roku Express and Express Plus. It's unclear what will differentiate these models, but I wouldn't be surprised to find faster processors than before and a voice-controlled remote in the Express Plus. And, as Zats mentions, these models will likely be the only ones to retain analog RCA ports for connecting to old TVs.</div>

If the listings are accurate, the Model S would get a whopping 380 miles on a charge -- no mean feat when the 90D can 'only' manage 294 miles. The Model X would likely have a shorter range given that the existing SUV officially tops out at 257 miles, but it's reasonable to say that you'd get over 300 miles on a charge.</span></div>

There's no official word on when you'd see 100D variants on the street, let alone how much they'll cost. They'll likely make the 60D seem like a bargain. Whatever price they'll carry, they'll bring Tesla one step closer to its dreams of cars that can drive cross-country (eventually, by themselves). And if history is any indication, the higher battery capacity will come along with a performance boost -- add Ludicrous Mode and both EVs could put even the better supercars to shame in terms of short-distance acceleration.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2d32; font-family: "guardian textegyp" , serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px;">Handwriting is a skill that feels personal and unique to all of us. Everyone has a slightly different style -- a weird quirk or a seemingly illegible scrawl -- that's nearly impossible for a computer to replicate, especially as our own penmanship fluctuates from one line to the next. A team at University College London (UCL) is getting pretty close, however, </span>with a new system <span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2d32; font-family: "guardian textegyp" , serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px;">it's calling "My Text in Your Handwriting." A custom algorithm is able to scan what you've written on a piece of paper and then reproduce your style, to an impressive degree, using whatever words you wish.</span></div>

To capture your scrawl, the team will ask you to write on four A4-sized sheets of paper (as little as one paragraph can deliver passable results, however). The text is then scanned and converted into a thin, skeletal line. It's broken down by a computer and a human moderator, assigning letters and their position within a word. They also look for "splits," where the line changes from a letter into a "ligature," -- the extra bits you need for joined-up handwriting. Finally, there are "links" which indicate that two separate marks are part of the same letter, for instance when crossing a "t."</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #2b2d32; font-family: "Guardian TextEgyp", serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
The algorithm then works to replicate your handwriting style by referencing and adapting your previously scanned examples. You will have written the same letter on a number of different occasion, so the computer will look for the one that works best for the word or phrase it's trying to sketch out. A degree of randomness is then applied to ensure that the same letters and combinations aren't used more than once (an easy way for humans to figure out if a computer has written something).</div>
<!-- ad code -->
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #2b2d32; font-family: "Guardian TextEgyp", serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
Once your written examples or "glyphs" have been selected, the computer will figure out the appropriate spacing in between each letter. The height of each character and where it sits on the line is also taken into consideration. Finally, the "ligatures" are added to the computer-generated piece, along with some basic texturing to mimic the pen and ink you were using.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #2b2d32; font-family: "Guardian TextEgyp", serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
The results are fairly believable. As an experiment, the team asked a group to decide which envelopes -- all seemingly handwritten -- were produced by a computer. They chose incorrectly 40 percent of the time.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #2b2d32; font-family: "Guardian TextEgyp", serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
"Up until now, the only way to produce computer-generated text that resembles a specific person's handwriting would be to use a relevant font," Dr Oisin Mac Aodha, a member of the UCL team said. "The problem with such fonts is that it is often clear that the text has not been penned by hand, which loses the character and personal touch of a handwritten piece of text. What we've developed removes this problem and so could be used in a wide variety of commercial and personal circumstances."</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #2b2d32; font-family: "Guardian TextEgyp", serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
The ability to scan and interpret handwriting isn't new -- plenty of apps let you sketch with a stylus or finger, and then convert this into text. Similarly, it's possible for software to reproduce digital text in a variety of seemingly human, handwritten styles. But the ability to reproduce your personal penmanship -- with words and sentences you might not have shown the computer -- is unprecedented. It could be used to help elderly people who are starting to lose their writing ability, or translate handwritten text into new languages while keeping the personality of the author.</div>

If you're wondering if this sort of technology could be used to forge signatures and documents, the answer is yes, it's possible. The team at UCL has stressed, however, that their system works both ways, meaning it could be used by law enforcers to spot computer-aided forgeries too. Still, it's best to be wary the next time someone tries to sell you an autograph.</div>

SpaceX has recently inched closer to realizing its head honcho's -- that's Elon Musk, but you already know that -- ambitious Mars plans. It has sent its next-generation rocket engine, the one it's developing for the rocket that will ferry a spacecraft to the red planet, to its McGregor, Texas facility for testing. Company president Gwynne Shotwell made that revelation during the Small Satellite Conference in Utah. A spokesperson also confirmed to <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px inherit inherit; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Ars Technica</em> that the engine is being prepped for testing in the Lone Star State.</div>

SpaceX hasn't revealed much about the engine yet. We know, however, that it's called "Raptor," and that it will power Falcon Heavy's successor, the reusable rocket SpaceX is building for its Mars Colonial Transporter project. Musk once said at a Reddit AMA that it's capable of producing 500,000 pounds of thrust at liftoff. That makes it thrice as powerful as the engines its Falcon 9 and Heavy rockets use and puts it on par with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_main_engine" style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: transparent; border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Space Shuttle engine</a>.</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
The CEO expects his Raptor-powered rocket to be able to lift off with a spacecraft that's 100 times the size of an SUV and carry up to 100 tons of cargo. It's important for manned missions bound for Mars to be able to carry huge amounts of supplies, since spacefarers on board face a long journey ahead of them.</div>

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
SpaceX's goal is to launch its first manned flight to Mars as soon as 2024, and this latest development means that timeframe could be viable. According to <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px inherit inherit; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Ars</em>, rocket engine development can take up to seven years, and full-scale testing typically happens towards the end of its development. It's still unclear what kind of tests the company will do in Texas, though -- we'll just have to wait for the update Shotwell promised to reveal in the next few months.</div>

It's too early to tell whether 3D-printed footwear will ever be more than a gimmick. Still, you have to give credit to sportswear brands for trying something new, even if in some cases 3D printing is only used to make outsole prototypes. Last year, Adidas began showing the potential of the technology with concepts like Futurecraft 3D, a running shoe made partially out of 3D-printed materials. And now the company's taking that one step further: it created a ready-to-wear pair for its sponsored athletes at the 2016 Rio Olympics. As its name suggests, though, the "3D-printed Winners Shoe" will be limited to those who win a medal in Brazil.</div>

Unlike the Futurecraft 3D silhouette from a few months ago, this one features a black Primeknit upper and 3D-printed midsole. The heel counter is also 3D-printed, something we hadn't seen before. By integrating the heel counter into the midsole, Adidas says it was able to avoid the usual process of glueing or stitching in parts of the design. Most importantly, an Adidas spokesperson tells Engadget that the 3D-printed Winners Shoe has been fully tested and is approved for running in. Yes, you can wear them without worrying that they'll break before taking any steps.</div>

After the initial dispatch of 5,000 units, Indian company Ringing Bells on Monday announced it has started deliveries of 65,000 more Freedom 251 smartphone units across many states in India.
These include West Bengal, Haryana, Himachal, Bihar, Uttarakhand, New Delhi, Punjab, Jammu & Kashmir, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh.</div>

For those unaware, Ringing Bells announced the Freedom 251 smartphone in February this year, with a shocking price tag of Rs. 251. With that unbelievable price tag, the smartphone received as many as 7 crore registrations.</div>

After much delay, the company managed to dispatch the first batch of 5,000 units last month. The only mode of payment is cash on delivery, and therefore it collects Rs.251 (plus delivery charges of Rs. 40) only once the smartphone is delivered. With the latest batch of 65,000 units, makes the total shipment figures go up to 70,000.</div>

“We started the process of lottery few days back, and now we are dispatching the units to the people. We are elated with the response that we have got for the delivered units.

The Freedom 251 budget Android smartphone touts a quad-core processor, a 4-inch display, apart from front and back cameras. The company looks to ship the Freedom 251 smartphone to 200,000 registered users at least, and then chalk out the roadmap for further production.</div>

Before you think you can just jump in an autonomous car next time you're in Singapore, there are a lot of caveats.First, there are only six vehicles in the autonomous fleet. Second, the fleet will only be available along a four-mile route in a business park on the western edge of the city.

</div>
<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
The pilot program will last three years with the first year dedicated to laying out the technological groundwork. The vehicles will be deployed on during the second year. Passengers will be chosen to test the system from a cross-section of the Singapore population. The system will work similar to ride-hailing services like Lyft and Uber.

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
Glen DeVos, VP of Delphi's Services Business Unit said that the company is hoping to come up with a "last mile" solution by building out the entire ecosystem including the car, communications system between vehicles and the infrastructure, transactions, cloud services and security. " When the pilots done, we had completed the definition and the deployment that whole automated mobility on demand ecosystem," DeVos told Engadget.

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 25px; margin-top: 35px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
Singapore and Delphi hope to transition the pilot into a operational service that launches in 2022. That's still a pretty far away, but it's another step to have fully autonomous vehicles on the road not just in Asia but around the globe.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2d32; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px;">Hyperloop One has announced that it's opening its first manufacturing plant to build the future of high-speed transportation. Metalworks is a 105,000 square foot facility in the city of North Las Vegas where components for DevLoop, the first testbed for the platform, will be constructed. As well as housing the company's new propulsion lab, the location will also be used to solve some of the more practical engineering challenges the technology faces. Employees will work to design and build supporting columns, cradles and the joints that keep everything held tightly together.

<div style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 15px 0px 5px;">
The announcement will also help to bolster the credentials of North Las Vegas, which is becoming a big tech hub for promising new transportation firms. As well as Hyperloop One, officials have snagged investment from Faraday Future to build its new electric supercar factory in the region. In fact, Nevada is becoming a key battleground for transport businesses, since Tesla's Gigafactory is being established seven hours up the road outside Reno.

Of course, Hyperloop One is putting a brave face on while it suffers from a little bit of internal strife. Co-founder Kevin "Brogan Bam Brogan" Brogan has sued the firm, citing harassment and a potential death threat from the brother of co-founder Shervin Pishevar. The company has filed a counter-suit, saying that Brogan was responsible for causing internal strife and launching a "coup," to grab control of the company. Although, as co-founder, you'd think he already had control of the company, wouldn't you?<br />

The demographic is apparently "younger, skews slightly female...and consumes double the amount of content" as traditional viewers.

Yes, that's right -- the man who released his latest album as a Tidal exclusive (if only temporarily) now wants peace. He's even suggesting a meeting with Jay-Z, Tim Cook and other bigwigs to make it happen, and wishes that Apple would just buy Tidal to end the fighting once and for all.</span></div>

It's just talk at the moment, and there's certainly no guarantee that Apple or Tidal will pull a Taylor Swift and bend over backwards to listen to what Kanye has to say. However, this still represents a big-name artist rebelling against the all-too-common trend of releasing albums through just one service, however briefly. It's not hard to see why he's changing his tune.
Kanye's own <em style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px inherit inherit; box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The Life of Pablo</em> saw a huge surge in demand the moment he ditched his Tidal exclusive, making it clear that fans wouldn't automatically follow him anywhere he went. He and other musicians may have little choice but to bite the bullet and go where the listeners are.</div>

You'll soon see how JJ Abrams and crew take on the Western-themed robot theme park.</h2>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2d32; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px;">JJ Abrams' and Jonathan Nolan's TV adaptation of </span><em style="background-color: white; box-sizing: inherit; color: #2b2d32; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Westworld</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2d32; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px;"> hit its share of snags on the way to release (it was originally supposed to debut in 2015), but it's nearly here. HBO has </span><a href="https://medium.com/hbo-cinemax-pr/drama-series-westworld-debuts-oct-2-on-hbo-e17d39dcf3ca#.yos0ym4hg" style="border-style: inherit; border-width: 0px 0px 1px; box-sizing: inherit; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">confirmed</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2d32; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px;"> that the robot-theme-park-gone-wrong show will debut on October 2nd at 9PM (both Eastern and Pacific). As before, the TV series isn't really a thriller in the vein of Michael Crichton's 1973 movie. Instead, it's more of a philosophical investigation into both simulated experiences and artificial intelligence. If you can do anything you want in a robotic world, what does that say about you? And how does AI grapple with questions of consciousness and self-awareness?</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #2b2d32; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 30px;">It's far from certain that the show will be a hit. However, it will at least have well-known producers and a big-name cast that includes Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood and Thandie Newton, among others. More importantly, it's clear that Abrams, Nolan and HBO are taking the concept seriously -- it's a high-minded drama, not just an excuse to remake a classic sci-fi story.</span></div>
