facebook to give the "VINE" treatment .

By -


So far, the tech world has been  contemplating on Facebook’s plans with Instagram after the $1 billion acquisition that made headlines. Apparently, the social networking giant was working on a “big idea” with its acquisition; and if the reports are to be believed, Instagram is soon getting a new 
feature- video.

Facebook is hosting a press event on June 20,  and according to Reuters, the invite read like this, “A small team has been working on a big idea. Join us for coffee and learn about a new  product.” The reports are pointing to a whole new Instagram app with video features, just like the Vine app released by Twitter.

According to Firstpost, Facebook was testing this feature internally. However it is not clear whether the videos will get filters like the  Instagram pictures. It will supposedly allow users to upload between five to 10 seconds of video from their mobile device to the photo  sharing website. The new feature may also take  advantage of the hashtags that Facebook  introduced recently.

Let’s wait till the event to know what Facebook’s “big idea” is.

The electronics giant is getting ready for massive production of sapphire displays.  Speculation has been running rampant about Apple's plans for mobile devices with a sapphire screen and it is finally appear to be firming up on Thursday. Apple uses sapphire for the ID fingerprint sensor in the iPhone 5S The iPhone maker recently placed a large order with GT Advanced Technologies for furnaces and chambers used in making sapphire displays. According to 9to5Mac, GT Advanced has already received 518 furnace and chamber systems, which would let it build 103 million to 116 million 5-inch displays per year.

gStick: A Pen Shaped Mouse Mimicking a pen in shape and size, gStick is looking to join the ranks of alternative mouse designs that aim to attain extra degree of precision, difficult to attain using a conventional mouse. Gordon Alan Stewart of Anchorage, Alaska created the gStick after he tried to sign a contract online using a traditional mouse and realised how difficult it can be with the tried and tested form factor. After three years of development and testing, he is now ready to bring gStick to the market. The gStick has not been designed to completely replace a traditional mouse, but instead for those people who use applications such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. Video Editing and 3D rendering has been mentioned, along with PC gamers, which seems unusual to us. It's also suitable for kids, who will find the transition between using a pen and the gStick a lot easier than jumping straight to using a conventional mouse according to the creators. T
