We expected Android P to arrive in Mid March but Google surprised us all and just released it out of the blue. Yes Android P is here when Android Oreo is on less than 2% of all Android devices but that's a topic for another time right now let's talk about Android P. Here's the Android P Developer Preview on a Pixel 2 XL so let's take a look at all of the changes and new features in Android Pie ,Android Pancake, Android Peanut Butter or whatever they'll call it.  First and foremost Android P brings a lot of visual changes I mean if you look at the home screen it looks very similar to Android Oreo but there are a lot of changes. Here's what I'm talking about as is customary for every new Android version the quick settings pane has received a complete makeover with nice rounded buttons for all the toggles that now look really iOS like. To be honest I like this new design so I have no complaints and although the looks have changed it works pretty...

In this post I'm going to be explaining HTTP, HTTPS and SSL / TLS. HTTP is the protocol that helps us browse the Internet. So lets start in 1989 a guy called Tim berners-lee who worked for CERN started development of HTTP. HTTP stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol and is used to exchange our transfer hypertext. HTTP resides on the application layer of the OSI model on layer 7. HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the web and this is how the web works when it comes to delivering webpages.  Let's dig a little deeper into this protocol it is a TCP / IP based protocol and things such as images tags documents audio and video can all be transmitted through it. HTTP works on a request and response cycle where the client requests a webpage so for example if you browse to Google Daugherty UK you are requesting a web page from the server and the server will deliver you a response.  HTTP is a stateless protocol what this means is that the server does not...

The way that the atomic clock work amazes me. Let me explain the way the very first one worked. Let’s take an example of a Jello. Tap on the Jello and it wiggles just like the swings of a pendulum. The oscillations of the Jello keeps time. Now Jello isn’t very good for this, but inside an atomic clock we have a trunk of quartz which is of similar shape that if we tap it which we do with a Joule of electricity it will oscillate some 5 Million times per second. It keeps time in 1 second in 90000 years which is fraction of the accuracy needed for an atomic clock. Quartz loses time because it slows down and needs to be nudged to restore its oscillations, that’s where the atomic part of the atomic clock comes into play. We use Caesium atoms to control this nudge very accurately. Every time the Quartz’s ion slows down just a tiniest bit, we give it tap with a Joule exactly at the same time, so essentially its oscillations never decay. The way that the Atomic Clock W...

We have been using the keyboard everyday and in almost every aspect of our lives may it be the smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops and all our smart devices. Ever wondered why our keyboard is not laid out in alphabetical orders?? In the early typewriters, the keyboard was laid out in alphabetical orders. Then why did it happen that the layout of our keyboard was changed to the current QWERTY type?? Let’s find out this in this post. The answer to this lies in the working of the old typewriters. In order to type something using a typewriter we hit a key. A mechanical system works such that with every hit a bar rises up and hits to the ribbon beneath which a paper is placed. Due to this hit an impression of the alphabet is printed on the paper. This chain of mechanical systems works so fast by the time another alphabet is pressed the type bar reverts back to its original position. This was the layout of the earliest typewriters. The issue with...

Ever been annoyed by the air hostess or flight attendant to switch off your phone or put in airplane mode??? Have you ever wandered about the reason?? if YES,then this is the right place for your answers.  Sometimes when we need to fast charge our devices or smartphones and do not want to switch it off we take the use of airplane mode. But only some of us know the use of this multi-usable mode called by many names like aeroplane mode,flight mode, standalone mode etc which is present as setting in most most of today's electronic devices.  Before the takeoff, the flight attendants inform us that we should turn our phones, tablets, laptops and other signal generating devices to airplane mode. Most of us feel that this is a waste of time and achieves nothing. It has nothing to do with the flight or in anyways related to it. It is just a step of the practice manual to be followed foolishly. But as we will know form the post further that it helps the pilots in saf...
