Ease weed app Startup Backed By Snoop Dogg

Ease weed app Startup Backed By Snoop Dogg

A startup company called “Ease weed app” has raised $ 10m (£ 6.8m) in a financing round from investors including rapper Snoop Dogg.

The artist’s Casa Verde Capital Company backed marijuana supplier Eaze, which connects the medical marijuana card carrier with local dispensaries in California.

They claimed that they can set user with the drug for delivery in less than 10 minutes. Recreational use of marijuana is illegal in the state, but Eaze says it isn’t breaking any laws.

The company raised $ 1.5 million (£ 1m) in November and has approximately made 3,000 deliveries since it was launched.

Eaze wants to use the money to hire 50 people in 50 days, and plans to expand into other states where recreational and medical marijuana legally available.

Washington DC, Colorado and Alaska have legalized recreational use of the drug, while 23 states allow the medicinal use.

Neither Google nor Apple have Eaze in their app stores currently, obviously they did not want to be seen as promoting or endorsing drug use.

Uber, a taxi app that can let you book a car at the touch of a button on a smartphone, made the on-demand trend popular.

Sharp 4K IGZO displays will take on Samsung 4K AMOLED displays, which are also expected to debut in the near future to take some time, with the Galaxy Note 5, the first device is believed to have a pack of 4K screen.

It’s too early to say what 2016 Smartphone will have 4K IGZO screens, but Sharp is already making IGZO display technology for Apple for certain products, with the iPad Pro also rumored to pack IGZO screens. Considering that Apple has a phablet in its lineup now, there would be no surprise there if we find a next-gen iPhone Pack of Sharp 4K display.

Retina MacBook sold out

Retina MacBook sold out

Yes, Apple’s new Retina MacBook is already sold out, too. As it turns out, the Apple clock is not the only device that Apple sold out of on Friday.

From 9 clock ET, Apple’s online store is the estimating that both models of the Gold 12-inch Retina MacBook will not be available for another 3-4 weeks. The Space gray and silver MacBooks are also sold out, but these should start shipping again in the next 1-3 business days.

Based on a quick spot check from MacRumors, most retail stores are not even offering the new MacBook. If you want to get you hand on one any time soon, getting it online is your best bet.

Reviews for the new MacBook began popping up on Thursday and although the design is undoubtedly one of Apple’s most attractive to date, the lack of additional ports just does not add up in 2015. Despite Apple’s insisting on working for a cordless future, the industry is moving at its own pace. Apple cannot accelerate that with just a fancy new laptop.

The new MacBook starts up at $ 1,299 for the 256GB model, which features a 1.1 GHz dual-core processor, 8GB of memory, Intel HD Graphics 5300 and Turbo Boost to 2.4 GHz. The 512 GB model costs $ 1,599 and features a 1.2GHz dual-core processor.

Beats Solo2 headphones now available in Apple-esque colours

Since its US $ 3 billion beats buyout, Apple has apparently concentrated all their efforts on reviving the Beats music streaming service, which is expected to roll out later this year once.

But the Cupertino company now has its own stamp on the Beats headphones line by adding three new colors to theBeats Solo2 range; Gold, silver, and space gray.

Not surprisingly, these are the trademarks of Apple colors on all of their devices, including the iPhone 6 & 6 Plus iPhone, iPad, MacBook and Apple clock feature.

The three new versions went on sale yesterday and it just happen on the same day that the new MacBook went on sale and Apple watch officially went on pre-orders.

The wired headset Solo2 sells at £ 169, while the wireless models cost £ 100 more, with a £ 269 price tag Never mind, you can still pick up Solo2 headphones in the original red, black, white and blue colors.

The new range can only help you customize your device with your cans; something Apple fanboys have probably been dreaming of.

Torrent based browser released for Windows

BitTorrent’s experimental, torrent based browser has been released in beta for Windows

Late last year, BitTorrent announced an ambitious project for making the web more open: a browser that can access the websites that are hosted through the BitTorrent protocols rather than on centralized servers. The Chromium-based Maelstrom browser project began life in a closed Alpha, but as of today, BitTorrent is releasing it as an open beta. The only catch now is that it is only available for Windows users, though BitTorrent says future versions of the browser for Mac and Linux users will be available as well.

BitTorrent also shared a few hints on how the platform has changed since the Alpha began in December last year. The company has more than 10,000 developers enlisted (the BitTorrent describes as building Maelstrom-compatible applications and programs) and 3,500 publishers (specifically the creation of web pages or BitTorrent content bundles) built sites that will work with the Project Maelstrom , But until now only some of these developers and publishers were actually able to work on Maelstrom-compatible projects.Torrent based browser Torrent based browser Torrent based browser

That’s changing now, as Bittorrent has gone ahead and released its full set of developer publishing tools for project Maelstrom. Everyone can now access these tools and start building sites over on GitHub. It is still very early days for the project Maelstrom, but now with the beta browser and development tools available for everyone, BitTorrent, hope to see the example of how its idea of open web project will manifest.

UK gets 100 billion barrels of oil near Gatwick Airport

Britain just discovered 100 billion barrels of oil near Gatwick Airport

UK Oil & Gas investment, exploration, development and production group revealed that it discovered around 100 billion barrels of oil near Gatwick Airport.

The group said in a regulatory statement that it could be up to 100 billion barrels of oil ashore under the south of England, after it drilled a well at Horse Hill near Gatwick Airport, West Sussex last year. It added that the area could hold 158 million barrels of oil per mile.

“Drilling the deepest wells in the basin in 30 years, along with the ability, concepts, techniques and technologies that were not available in the 1980s, has provided the understanding of new innovative data and interpretations of the range of potential oil resources of the area “said Stephen Sanderson, CEO of UKOG in a statement.

However, UKOG added that it estimates that only 3% to 15% of the oil could be recovered, when compared with similar geology in the United States and West Siberia.

Nevertheless, this is a windfall for the UK, where Scotland’s North Sea oil industry continues to struggle with dwindling oil production. It has only produced about 45 billion barrels in the last 40 years.

In 2014, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), lead out how the North Sea oil industry is in a crisis. The average oil production in 2013 from the North Sea clocked its lowest level since 1977.

British Airlander 10 get $2.7 million grant

British Airlander 10 get $2.7 million grant to revolutionize transport

The British Airlander 10 – the largest aircraft in the world – continues to attract investment. Designer of the craft, Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV) have won a € 2.5 million ($ 2.7 million) grant from the EU from a fund to develop green transport initiatives. This sum is awarded on top of a £ 3.4 million grant from the British government earlier this year, with HAV also aiming to raise an additional £ 2 million through equity crowdfunding platform Crowdcube.

The British Airlander 10 can land anywhere and stay afloat for days.

Although airships like the Airlander 10 look awkwardly bulky, it has a number of unique advantages over traditional crafts. Since the Airlander uses inert helium to provide most its lift, it can stay afloat for days with nominal fuel costs. When it moves, it can only consume one-third of the fuel of other traditional aircraft (although much slower – only reaches speeds of up to 100mph). Its capability to hover means it can land anywhere including on water. The Airlander 10 also has one of the lowest carbon emissions of any aircraft in the world, and it’s capable of carrying up to 50 tons of cargo for distances up to 1,600 miles.

The craft was originally designed for long-term surveillance and reconnaissance by the US military, but when a budget cut scrapped the project, it was bought back by HAV. Now the company wants to use it for a variety of commercial purposes, including for freight, aid distribution, advertising, surveillance, communications and luxury passenger.” This latest grant from the EU will be used to develop a legal framework for the Airlander, a necessary step before orders for the craft can be placed.
