Apple Patents a wearable battery charger

Apple has patented a wearable battery charger to top up its Apple watches on the go.The patent reveals a new look for Apple's latest watch model with a rounded face.
        The patent,published by the US Patent and trademark office today,is listed as a 'charging apparatus for wearable electronic device.'The patent is about manufacturing an inductive charger, implemented in the Apple Watch strap or attached to an existing band.
        The illustrations show us a small wire that connects a battery in the strap to the back of the device. The strap itself is really thin, probably in order to be both comfortable to wear and look tolerable.

       There’s no knowing if such idea will ever make it to a real product or Apple is just protecting this idea from being used by other companies.
      Interestingly enough, the watch on the graphs is actually circular and not a square with round corners. Apple often uses generic illustrations of things in order to broaden the patent applications or actually shows a design that later does not make it to the market, but we can always hope there's more to that.
            

       The wearable charger will likely use a magnetic charge point for easy snap on/snap off access.two different charger designs are described in the patent.one shows the charger embedded into the wristband of the watch.the second depicts a separate module that sits underneath the chassis of the watch and then attaches to the band.
      Apple has proposed the use of special 'heat-dissipating' circuitry to stop the battery module burning users.The patent suggests that the wireless unit could be plugged in to recharge when not in use.It remains unclear whether Apple will ever actually make the wearable charger.

PS4 Will Support External Hard Drives in Upcoming Update 4.50

Sony showed off a preview of the next software update for the playStation4 today.which add long waited feature to the console.One of the biggest difference between the Xbox One and PS4 was the ability to use external storage.While Xbox One owners have been able to do this for ages, the only way for owners to expand storage for a PS4 has been to replace the internal drive. Plugging an external hard drive to an Xbox One allowed you to download and run games of it. The PS4 had no such option, restricting the use of USB storage to play music and video, or back up an entire PS4. This will change with the PS4 system software update 4.50 codenamed Sasuke.
       In the upcoming 4.50 software, Sony is finally adding the ability to simply plug in a USB 3.0 hard drive to instantly get more space, and will support hard drives up to 8TB. Content installed on the external drive will show up in the PlayStation 4 software alongside anything on the internal drive. 
         Other additions with the 4.50 update include adding the ability to view Blu-ray movies in stereoscopic 3D directly on the PS VR headset. Further come the ability to post directly into the Activity Feed on PSN, a simplified notification list, and a revamped Quick Menu that takes less of the gameplay screen.
      Along with these additions, you can finally use your own screenshots and pictures as a wallpaper. The PS4 system software update 4.50 is currently in beta. Judging by past betas, we should see this hit the general public by the end of the month at the very latest.
