Smartphones are an extremely useful tool to have in your pocket, not only for communication and entertainment, but also for learning, fact checking, and quickly finding answers to questions. And that’s why we don’t let kids take them into exams, or in this case,chessplayers use them during tournaments.Gaioz Nigalidze is the reigning Georgian national chess champion and a chess grandmaster. However, he has been accused of cheating and could now serve a three-year ban depending on the outcome of the claim.The cheating claim was made by his opponent, Tigran Petrosian, during the sixth round of the Dubai Open. Nigalidze had been making very frequent and long trips to the toilet after playing his moves, which made Petrosian suspicious and led to asearch of the bathroom. A smartphone was discovered hidden in some toilet paper in a bin with a chess program loaded on to it. We don’t know which chess app he was using (yet).This could have been someone else’s smartphone, but Nigalidze’sFacebook account was logged in on the handset. He has denied cheating, but the evidence suggests otherwise. It also looks like a very silly thing to risk your chess playing career over considering first prize is only worth $12,000.Gaioz Nigalidze is 26-years-old, ranked 400th in the world, and regarded as a very talented player.Using a chess program on his phone would have allowed him to experiment and look ahead several moves. Being a professional player he would easily be able to memorize those moves before returning to the game with an unfair advantage over his opponent.
As mobile gaming continues to clench its fist around the gaming market, universal apps are becoming more popular — play a universal iPhone game in the bathroom at work, and pick up where you left off on your iPad at home. Sometimes, though — due to screen and control constraints or hardware limitations — a single game can’t be shared between smartphone and tablet. With the introduction of the smartwatches, mobile game developers now have to be aware of a third device with drastically different physical constraints and technical limitations. The solution might be disrupting the smooth transition the mobile market has made toward universal apps and focusing on exclusives, which is exactly what WayForward announced with the first-ever game exclusive to the Apple Watch, Watch Quest.While you might expect the game to be some sort of match-three variation (with light RPG elements,of course, thanks to the Questsuffix), WayForward claims its exclusive game will have more substance than, say, crushing candy does.The free-to-start game — a more honest phrase thatNintendo recently adopted to describe free-to-play games — sounds like some sort of hybrid between a citybuilder and light adventure RPG. The majority of the action — combat, puzzle-solving, and seeking loot — takes place on theApple Watch, but you have to pop into your iPhone to manage your kingdom and replenish supplies.While the depth of the game remains in question until release, there is something appealing about being able to progress while away from your main gaming device. Sega’s Dreamcasttested this theory out with the VMU, or Visual Memory Unit, which was a memory card that doubled as a tiny auxiliary gamingdevice. Many gamers, specifically MMO enthusiasts, would love to make progress in their game of choice while commuting or stuck in line somewhere. The gaming world isn’t quite there yet, but perhaps Watch Questcan prove that a market exists. Some of us would certainly love to lessen the grind ofour favorite MMOs while we’re spending some quality time in the bathroom.
With iOS and Android versions of find-your-device apps either coming stock with your device or being very easy to procure, there’sless of a risk of permanently losing your expensive mobile device than ever before. Sure, when you accidentally leave your WiFi-only iPad in your messenger bag in thebackseat of a cab, the device likely won’t be able to report its location two minutes after the cab drives off and you realize you’re missing something slung around your shoulder. Regardless, the find-your-device apps are easy enough to use, though a bit tedious. Now, Google has made it even easier — and removed the tedium — to find yourdevice: just Google search.If usingAndroidDevice Manager is a bit too tedious — which it certainly can be when the speed of your actions dictates whether or not you’ll see your phone again — you can simply type “find my phone” into a Google search box. If both your Android phone and the browser you’re searching fromare logged into Google, a map with your phone’s location will be returned right in the search results.If your phone is alive and well, Google will not only locate it, but will give you the option to call it. From there, you can also load Android Device Manager for more options, like locking your phone orwiping it clean. Since Google needs a way to pair your instance of its search engine with your phone, the “find my phone” searchquery won’t work if you aren’t logged in, but that’s an easy fix.You’re still subject to the Achilles’heel of lost devices — if the devicecan’t access the internet in any way, then it can’t report its location — but performing a quick Google search is currently the easiest and fastest way to locate a lost device.
Most of the components in yoursmartphoneconsume energy, but a Cornell team wants one of them to create it. They’re working on acamerasensor that can convert light into both recorded imagesandpower.This isnot just a solar cellhackedon to a traditional camera sensor. It’s a board fitted with a 30 x 40 array of photodiodes. When a highreverse voltage is applied, light that hits the photodiodes causes a voltage drop that’s proportional to its brightness. That allows the camera to record an image.When the photodiodes sit at zero voltage, they act the way they do in a solar cell. Light that falls on the cells creates voltage, but it’s stored instead of being allowed to flow out and create an image. That power can then be stored in a supercapacitor and then used by the camera to continue recording.The Cornell team built their deviceusing off-the-shelf components. If they’re able to miniaturize their creation, it could provide device-sustaining power for your smartphone or tablet one day in the not-too-distant future.Any time your device was lying around not recording video or shooting images through its camera sensors, the photodiodes could be flipped into energy-harvesting mode. All you need is about 300 Lux to stimulate production with the current prototype — so just about any well-lit office space would suffice.It might not create enough juice tokeep your devices running endlessly, but anything that counters the draining effect of theother components (like power-sucking displays and LTE radios) would be a welcome addition. Especially if it’s hidden inside something as ubiquitous as a camera sensor.
