With the sudden surge in interest towards cars with automatic transmission, it is only a matter of time before motorcycle manufacturers start to offer similar transmissions in their products. In fact, companies like  Yamaha  and  Honda  already offer bikes with semi or fully automatic transmission. However, it is extremely difficult to convert a bike with manual transmission to automatic transmission. This could change due to the work done by Biperformance Development Corporation or BDC. The company, based out of Waterloo, has devised a revolutionary electronic transmission system named  Shift FX EST  or Electronic Shift Transmission. The ShiftFX took BDC nearly a decade to develop and produce. The ShiftFX, once fitted on a motorcycle, will allow the rider to switch between semi-automatic and fully automatic shifting modes. The ShiftFX system in  semi-automatic  mode works similar to a paddle shifter on a car. The gear shift controls ar...

1. Thunderbolt 3 If you’ve purchased or used a new Macbook Pro, you may have noticed the lack of familiar ports and the  addition of a strange, new port  called Thunderbolt 3. You may be wondering what Apple was thinking when they eliminated the standard USB port. This move, like many of Apple’s moves, has created frustration among users who just want to be able to plug in their USB devices without an adapter. But don’t get frustrated yet. There is a purpose to this future-forward move. Thunderbolt 3 is a high bandwidth technology that operates at 40Gb/second, as opposed to the USB 3 you’re used to operating at just 5Gb/second. This means you can plug your smartphone into your Macbook and it will charge much faster than before. Gone are the days of waiting all night for your devices to charge via your computer’s USB port. But Thunderbolt 3 does more than just quickly charge your devices. Superior technology Thunderbolt 3 is a superior technology that  leaves sta...

Over  $69 billion  was generated in global mobile app revenue in the year 2015 alone. Some estimates purport that by the year 2020 that number will nearly triple. It would be an understatement to suggest that the (already massive) mobile app market is growing exponentially.  Advancements in both hardware and software  have greatly decreased the cost of powerful smartphones, which has, in turn, caused them to proliferate rather rapidly. As more people use smartphones on an everyday basis, the demand for apps rises. Currently, Android smartphones own the lion’s share of the market. As of Q3 of 2016, Android predominated at an astonishing  86% . To put this number in perspective, iOS devices claim around 18% of the market share. Android smartphones are seemingly ubiquitous, and their domination of the smartphone market suggests an enormous built-in consumer base. What’s more, the number of available Android apps surpassed the number of iOS apps, tallying over 1...

Kansas City: home to Jazz, the Royals (2015 World Series Champions) and BBQ.

Aversion to risk is widely accepted as one of the biggest barriers to innovation....

Robots have a bit of a mixed reputation in the media. One minute they’re vacuum cleaning our homes and delivering our pizzas, the next they’re stealing our jobs and threatening to take over the world. Thanks to more than 100 years of science fiction books and TV shows, robots remain controversial: they’re either destined to save the planet, or doomed to destroy it. But how much of this rhetoric is true? With more than 8.6 million robots in existence, and the field of robotics recently being pegged as the “fastest growing industry in the world”, we find ourselves increasingly wondering what this robot-overrun future will look like. Are robots to be feared, or embraced? More importantly, what is a robot? Should we be counting automated vacuum cleaners and self-service checkouts as part of the new robotics revolution, or are these simply more examples of the ever-expanding internet of things (IoT)? In an attempt to answer some of these questions, I undertook a review of the...
