Electronic home appliance are going to communicate each other called OIC SMART HOME control by Smartphone app.. Samsung,Intel,Dell,Qualcomm,LG and more join together...

It's all Against for Google and Apple household devices ?:

Announcing "Good night" to its Smart Bulb lightbulb, washing machines or televisions could cause the appliances to enter sleep mode, as well as being able to control them remotely through a smartphone.

Samsung, Intel and Dell have joined to establish standard ways for household gadgets like thermostats and light bulbs to talk to each other, at odds with a framework backed by Qualcomm, LG Electronics and other companies. The new Open Interconnect Consortium, like the Qualcomm-supported AllSeen Alliance, aims to establish how smart devices work together in a trend increasingly called the Internet of Things.

Manufacturers are rolling out growing numbers of Internet connected burglar alarms, televisions and light switches. But like the early days of video cassette recorders, current smart home products are often incompatible with each other.The new consortium, which also includes chipmakers Broadcom and Atmel, was announced in a news release late on Monday.

Doug Fisher, general manager of Intel’s Software and Services Group, told Reuters that the framework to be developed by the new consortium would address security and other issues not adequately handled by the AllSeen group. The potential emergence of smart household products made by manufacturers using two sets of incompatible standards would be incidental, he said. “We’re not out to create that. We just think the industry has spoken and there’s this approach that’s needed,” Fisher said. “We’re certainly welcoming others to participate.”

Last week, Microsoft became the 51st member of the AllSeen Alliance, which also includes Sharp Corp and other consumer electronics manufacturers. Rob Chandhok, senior vice president of Qualcomm Technologies Inc, compared the two competing standards groups to walled off online services in the early 1990s before widespread Internet use. “It’s better for us to have an industry-wide shared platform than to be divided,” Chandhok said. “I don’t want to get to a ‘Prodigy and CompuServe’ of the Internet of Things.”

Technology heavyweights Apple and Google are also pursuing their own ways of interconnecting household devices. Apple, known for strictly controlling how other companies products interact with its own, in June announced HomeKit, which will integrate control of devices like lights and thermostats.Google’s Nest has also partnered with companies including Whirlpool Corp and light bulb maker LIFX to integrate their products with its thermostats and smoke detectors.

The new Open Interconnect Consortium(OIC) aims to establish ways in which internet connected devices created by different companies can work together, when the majority of such appliances are currently incompatible.

Apple's HomeKit platform will integrate existing apps that control lighting, heating and other domestic services into a single place, allowing users to control them all via a single app on their Apple device. Samsung already produces a range of connected home appliances, and has announced the global launch of its Samsung Smart Home service, which allows users to control several smart devices simultaneously throught its Smart Home app.

The OIC is focused on defining the connectivity requirements for the billions of devices that will make up the Internet of Things. Although Gartner Research predicts "smart home" technology will add $1.9 trillion to the global economy by 2020, there are still some major challenges that stand in its way, and both alliances aim to help.

For instance, a Samsung fridge can't talk to your Sony TV because every brand prefers to use proprietary technology that isn't compatible with another company's. Eventually, these objects will create a small network that will work together to create a “smart home”.The first OIC open-source code will target the specific requirements of smart-home and office solutions, allowing developers to make it easy to remotely control and receive notifications from smart-home appliances using smartphones, tablets or PCs.

Secure and easy PC TO SMARTPHONE Remote Access : Chrome Remote Desktop Only Android Smartphone or Tablet

Google Remote Desktop for Android Smartphone (ONLY)

You can now access your PC desktop computer directly via your smartphone or tablet.

Google announced the launch of Chrome Remote Desktop app for Android this week, which lets you access files sitting on your home PC or Mac even when you're nowhere near it.

The move builds off its Chrome Remote Desktop app launched in 2011, which let users remotely access a desktop from another laptop or computer. The service is free a stark contrast with costly remote-desktop software such as Parallels Access.

After downloading the Android app from Google Play, you'll need to install the Chrome Remote Desktop extension in a desktop's Chrome browser to connect the two systems. Then, grant access for the remote connection to work and set up a PIN code for the PC.

The PC name will then appear in the Chrome Remote Desktop page (and need to be selected) before plugging in the same PIN code within the app. Then, you're good to go.

Microsoft also has its own remote desktop app client, as does Amazon Workspaces, which lets employees access work computers from their personal devices.

By installing the app and enabling remote access on a Mac (OSX 10.6 or later), Windows machine (XP or later) or Linux, users will be able to access their computer from other computers or Android device. Google will also ask users to program a six-digit pin number for added security.

If the remote computer is on and running, people can access the remote computer from a desktop. Users just need to open a new Google Chrome tab and input the security. To access it via an Android device, simply pull up the app and plug in the pin for the remote computer.

For even the most security-conscious user can rest easily, as Google assures them that "all remote desktop sessions are fully encrypted using Chrome's SSL features." Google cannot let anyone but the user access their computer, because of the PIN and Access Code when sharing it. No session data is recorded, according to the Chrome Remote Desktop page.

According to a blog post, Google has yet to release a Remote Desktop app for iOS, but says that will be coming "later this year," without giving a definitive date.

10 Big Tech Flops Of 2012

2012 saw some big fat failures from tech companies, which proved consumers can even be a fickle bunch of people and the best minds can come up with an occasional loser. It does not seem to be hard at all to come up with a list of tech failures. So let’s track all the tech flops that took place from the second half of 2012 as listed out by Yahoo.

10 BlackBerry

Also called as CrackBerrys, they were seen everywhere and people could not put them off their minds. 2012’s one biggest flop is the BlackBerry’s announcement of new OS BB10. It was never released that year as it had promised. This was supposed to be RIMs comeback for the BlackBerry brand and it sounded exciting enough for fans who waited for it. But now that it has been released, the BlackBerry faithful are getting their hopes back again. The rest have totally lost interest.

9 Nokia Lumia 900

Nokia and Microsoft launched their first Major phone together in the U.S. in the beginning of 2012. This may sound newsy because almost no one bought the Lumia 900. But now Microsoft has a smaller share of the Smartphone market and Nokia is trying hard to win eyes with its new comeback, Lumia 920.

This is sad news because the Finnish Company did a great deal and Lumia 900 was the best Windows Phone available when it was launched. The unibody design was smart looking and it came with a beautiful 4.3 inch screen and 8 megapixel camera. But no one really cared.

8 3D Televisions

The 3D HDTV was not introduced in 2012, which was the year for it to become irrelevant. It was a hot product when seen at the Consumer Electronic Show in 2010. The reason was to give a new ‘Avatar’ experience in your living room.  It was sure that most of us wanted it.
Despite a 3% rate of adoption in American homes, the industry has not abandoned the 3D HDTVs yet. It is still seen on the shelves of most major retailers. The glasses can be bulky, inducing headache. Picture quality in these televisions varies greatly and their initial prices were too high for most.

All we need is to expect less 3D content coming out while these TVs- which are completely capable of excellent 2D performance decrease in profile and price.

7 Sean Parker’s Airtime

Sean Parker’s Airtime was an insanely hyped startup, which turned out to be a whole lot of nothing. Airtime was this founder’s response to ‘Chatroulette’, a place to meet new people through webcam, text chat and mic. It was supposed to revolutionize communication through Facebook.

This did not happen because Airtime suffered from stagnant user base despite its $33 million in funding also with a somewhat infamous June opening press conference with stars such as Jim Carrey and Alicia Keys and the blessing of cool comics Jimmy Fallon and Julia Louis Dreyfus.  Parker later added that the site was getting only 10,000 active users per day. However, he maintained that the product would transform how we communicate.

6 Apple Maps

Steve Jobs might have built the mighty Apple which may be a juggernaut. But the mighty company can also make mistake. Apple Maps was proved to be a complete disaster that CEO Tim Cook had to apologize for. He said that Apple strived to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers and with the launch of the new Maps, they fell short on doing this commitment. He also added that they were extremely sorry for the frustration this had caused to the customers and were doing everything to make Maps better.

With Google taking years to assemble and fine tune its product, Apple could not make it anyway with its cleverness and hubris. Fancy new features such as 3D imagery and spoken turn-by—turn couldn’t save this product riddled with errors.

5 Play Station Vita

Vita came out with a bunch of cool things. It had amazing graphics, excellent design and build quality. It promised a strong online community and cross play with the PS3. It was also well received at the launch, but is yet to get the killer app it needs to become – a ‘must have’ platform. Vita could be titled as ‘Call of Duty’, Black Ops’ or even ‘Declassified’ instead, it was an absolute mess.

Not even one or two blockbuster games could change this momentum as none was them were seen on the immediate horizon. As of now PlayStation Vita has become a chilling answer of the viability of handheld gaming consoles in a world filled with game-effective machines - Smartphones.

4 Google Nexus Q

Google’s Nexus Q was a mess. The company decided to postpone the launch of this high profile hardware product indefinitely just days before it was expected to ship the first units. The hardware was supposed to be an innovative entertainment in-house device but was pulled off before it was sold to its consumers.

Besides this, there was a noticeable price tag of $299 (approx.  15,000) that Google attached on the device. The speakers were for $399(approx.  21, 000) and a pair of cables which was insanely priced at $49 (approx.  2110) added to the increasing price tag.
As impressive as the hardware specs were, it was a little more than an Apple TV aimed at Android users. The Apple TV sold for a fraction of what Google was asking of Nexus Q. It also seemed overpriced as the Nexus 7 which started at $199 (approx.  10,000) was also announced alongside. Making a big deal out of the design and manufacture did not even justify the considerable price tag.

3 Oprah’s love for Microsoft

Oprah gave Microsoft Surface some props on Twitter and what seemed awkward as she used her Apple iPad to tweet it off.

The tweet said that she loved the Surface and had brought 12 of them as Christmas gifts. The controversial tweet, noticed by Zagg and The Next Web as early as possible, received more than 400 ‘retweets’ and more than 170 ‘favorites’. She praised the Surface Microsoft’s tablet to be like a Mercedes-Benz to her.

Twitter revealed this through their metadata which usually notes which devices or apps users are using when they tweet.
Though Apple iPad was her favorite in 2010, her praises for technology seem to change time and again as with this controversial tweet.

2 John Browett running Apple retail

Tim Cook’s first major hire as CEO was a big flop. John Brownett who came from Dixons to Apple, tried to put his own stamp on one of the most successful retail shops in the world by cutting back employee hours to make the stores more profitable. That didn’t go so well and in a few months Browett was gone.

1 Facebook’s Reach Generator

On March 1st, Facebook held a fancy event in New York to promote its new product called Reach Generator. This was supposed to increase the frequency with which brands would hit users’ news feeds. After six months, the product seemed to be complicated for which Facebook totally forgot about it.
