However, there is a butt-load of creams, ointments and remedies out there, but no all are created equal. You must have read about the "true and tried" tips and tricks for radiant skin, online or may be in beauty magazines, thaqt give a lot of information, But is that information all Correct?

The Five Most common skin care are.

#1. Exfoliate Skin Once a Week
This is one of the most common skin care myths. Scrubbing away dead skin keeps skin looking fresh and bright. Some believe, that over exfoliating may lead to skin damage, irritation and a roigh skin texture, you may be able to know how often you need to exfoliate your skin. However, scraping dead skin cells off your skin is always a good idea, and leaves your skin feeling clean and fresh thorughout the day.

#2. Oily Skin Doesn't Need Moisturizer
Oily skin doesn't mean moisture. People with oily skin, usually tend to skip moisturizing their skin. However, applying a light moisturizer on an oily skin can help protect our skin from external factors, such as, dirt, sun damage and pollution. When our skin is too clean, or lets say, not properly moisturized, our skin tends to produce extra oil to make up for the dryness. Therefore apply a light moisturized to an exfoliated and clean skin. This will also decrease the extra oil production.

#3. Dry Skin Doesn't Need a Toner
Toners are usually harsh, made with alcohol-based astringent that may possibly dry out your skin. Such toners might work for people with extra oily skin. People with complex or dry skin, however, should avoid using it. No matter what is your skin type, go for an alcohol-free toner that can be used to freshen and hydrate your skin without over drying it.

#4 Men Should Stick to Men's Products
Don't just go for the products that say 'for men', instead opt products according to your skin need. After all, skin is ksin. You need to take care of it Some men shy away from using women's products because of the packaging and the fragrance. Just don't Try swapping your sister's or spouse's face wash and moisturizer and your skin will be just fine.

#5 Women Over 30 Need Anti-Aging Products
With the boom of anti-aging products in the market, It's tempting to go out and buy all of the wrinkle and age-spot creams after you see the signs of wrinkles and lines. Your skin may age, but, biologically, it's still the same type. Read carefully the ingredients on the anti-aging products, and try and go for the ones that have natural moisturizing and nourishing ingredients, such as, honey and shea butter to make your skin look fresh and moisturized.

Black berry to launch 2 Mid-range Android phones In 2016

Black Berry's Android experiment doesn't seem to be working out as well.Apparently,consumers don't really want device from as aspiring entrant with a $700 (approx.Rs.73,000)price tag slapped in it,physical keyboard or not.But that won't stop Black Berry from trying what could be ots final shot in the consumer,or may be even the hardware market.

The company is reeling from substantial losses in the last quarter,chiefly from its traditional hardware business,which say just 600,000 devices getting sold which means the company won't be able to reach its 5 million sales annual target in the immediate future.

"The fact that we came out with  a high end phone [as our first Android device] was probably not as wise as it should have been."said John S.Chen. "A lot of enterprise customers have said to us ,'I  want to buy your phone but $700 is a little too steep for me, I'more interested in a $400 device."

Black berry will now launch two mind-range phones, targeting the $400 price range running and Android OS.The lineup will consist of a full touchscreen device and one with a physical Keyboard.

Chen was also mindful of the fact that secure services are Black Berry's forte, while Android's reach is the way to get that UPS to the masses.

Ans in what is rather an unexpected turn of events,it has killed the BB1onOS which was supposed to be the original Holly Grail, Launched way back in 1013.The OS was only used in entry-level. budget-oriented devices by now so its demise wouldn;t shock lot of people,after high-end device running on it too failed quite majorly.

It will continue to support the operating system in the near future,but if you want a more traditional/conventional Black Berry device ,you won't find it  the future.

Facebook's Next Frontier : Chatbots, live video

SAN FRANCISCO: Facebok Inc said on Tuesday it will allow developers to build chatbots inside its messenger app to enable users to communicate with business directly in its latest effort to dominate enterprise transactions and customer service.

The chatbots expedite Facebbook's moves to build out Messenger as the go-to- place for users to contact business rather than through third-party websites and 1-800 lines.

"You will never have to call 1-800 Flowers again," Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said during a demonstration of how the chatbots will work.

At the company's annual developer conference in San Francisco, Zuckerberg also announced during his keynote address its live video product, Facebook Live, was open to developers to create new features as Facebook seeks to encourage users to share more original content on the 1.6 billion-person site.

Zuckerberg's address strayed from the normal company news update by making veiled references to the 2016 US presidential campaign. He referenced comments by Republican frontrunner Donald Trump in particular, saying he heard "fearful voices calling for building wall" and halting immigration.

Zuckerberg kicked off the 30-minute keynote by laying out the company's 10 year plan which included improvements in artificial intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality Last week, Facebook made its biggest push yet in live video by giving the product more prominent placement on its app and rolling out features that make it easier to create and find video.

It is also paying celebrities and media companies to supply video in order to get Live off to a quick start and take on rivals such as Twitter Inc's Periscope and Snapchat.

Messenger last week rolled out Messenger Codes, allowing users to scan a code to begin a chat with a business and making it easier to carry out transactions and customer service through the app.

Facebook said more than 50 million business have pages. Such features will let Messenger users carry out tasks such as making restaurant reservations, placing online orders and scheduling appointments, a move that threatens call service center and traditional customer service lines.

The iphone SE could Be The Least-Profitable iphone Ever

Apple released the i phone SE as a kind of support device for its main 6S and 6S plus lineup.as was clear with a much different update cycle.As a result,it is not really a surprise that the phone is predicted to be one of the last successful handsets ever released by cupertino.

The Phone cost Apple only an estimated $160 to build,a whole $13 cheaper than the 5 C,while retailing for$399 it leads to a profit of $239.That's still a sizable margin,but the 5 C led to a major chunk of $376 while the 5 S. of which the SE is the replacement.got a mammoth $450 in profits.

Obviously. storage is a major bone of contention, and here upgrading to the 64 GB variant lends Apple an additional $89 in profits.Its should be noted that these costs include only hardware and not additional costs necessary to get  the device in your hands.It is estimated that the R&D costs here are a lot lower than on other Apple phone since most of the hardware is lent from other i phone, while the design  is several years old.

The SE  is the first occasion where Apple is competing in the budget category properly.If you in the market for a high-end phone, and don't care about the screen size (or the 3 D Touch ), it is perhaps the most powerful  phone in the market.(considering it most has 6$ internal, is is one of the most powerful phones anyway.)

 The phone costs Apple only on estimated $160 to build. a whole $13 cheaper  than the
 5 C,while retailing  for $399 it leads to a profit of $239.

All this wouldn't probably put a wrinkle on the forehead of Apple executive, however.The phone has already raked a million units in sales in its first ten days,earning less than a percent in terms of market share and is actually predicted to do well during the year than the 5 S, the phone it is meant to replace.The fact that it is not the main i phone means Apple Will take what ever success it gets while we wait for the Version 7 to Launch.

Microsoft HoloLens : How It Works and How it's Different

What's a HoloLens, and How does it work

 Microsoft's HoloLens is not actually producing 3D images that every can see; this is not "Star Trek".

Instead of everyone walking into a room made to reproduce 3D images, Microsoft's goggles show images only the wearer can see. Everyone else will just think you're wearing goofy-looking glasses.
Another key thing about HoloLens as both a personal and a workplace device.

Microsoft the company is not trying to transport you to a different world. but rather bring the wonders of a computer directly to the one you're living in. Microsoft is overlaying images and objects onto our living rooms.

As a HoloLens wearer, you will still see the real world in front of you. you can walk around and talk to others without worrying about bumping into walls.

The goggles will track your movements, watch your gaze and transform what you see by blasting light at your eyes ( it does not hurt). Because the device tracks where you are, you can use hand gestures- right now it's only a midair click by raising and lowering your finger- to interact with the 3D images.

There's a whole bunch of other hardware that's designed to help the HoloLens effects feel believable. The device has a plethora of sensors to sense your movements in a room and it uses this information along with layers of colored glass to create images you can interact with or investigate from different angles. want to see the back of a virtual bike in the middle of your kitchen? Just walk to the other side of it.


The goggles also have a camera that looks at the room, so the HoloLens knows where tables, chairs, and other objects are. it then uses that information to project 3d images on top of and even inside the,- place virtual dynamite on your desk and you might blow a hole to see what's indise

Release Date:It was releasing in the First Quarter of 2016

Why airplane windows have tiny holes

Air pressure drops as you get high. But airplanes are designed to maintain air pressure at a safe level inside the cabin. So the air pressure outside an airplane is much lower then it is inside.
The difference in air pressure puts a lot of physical stress on airplane windows,

                                 Air plane windows consists of Three separate panes

                                  
                                                Outer                    Middle               Inner

The outer panes deals with this air pressure difference. Thanks to the tiny hole in the middle pane.
known as the "BLEED HOLE". Its primary purpose is to balance air pressure, There's a small gap in the middle and outer panes. The BLEED HOLE allow pressure to balance between the passenger cabin and the air gap.


Meaning the outer pane takes                                                                 While the middle pane act as  
on the pressure                                                                                          a safe-fail


The inner pane is non-structural but it help protects the middle and outer panes from damage caused by passengers. The BLEED HOLE also releases moisture from the air gap this prevents the window from fogging up or frosting over .
