Apple iPhone 7 and 7 Plus without headphone jack unveiled
The new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus was announced in San Francisco on Wednesday by Apple .
The new iPhones resemble the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus a little and do not have a 3.5mm headphone jack (a first on any iPhone).
Design
The antenna lines was done away with the new Jet Black model that has a brand new glossy enclosure.
12MP camera
4.7" Retinal HD display with wide color gamut
Optical image stabilization
7MP FaceTime HD camera
New Touch Home button
Water and dust resistant
Stereo speakers
A10 Fusion chip
LTE Advanced up to 450 Mbps
Longest battery life ever in an iphone
iOS 10.
There's a new regular Black model along with the typical rose gold, silver and gold colors. They are all made of aluminum.
The home button is touch-sensitive and builds on the Force Touch trackpads Apple includes on its new MacBooks, that means it's not a physical button that can be pressed, but one that simulates a button press.
Screen size
The iPhone 7 comes with a 4.7-inch Retina HD IPS display with 1,134 x 750 resolution at 326 ppi (pixels per inch). The larger iPhone 7 Plus comes with a 5.5-inch Retina HD IPS screen with 1,920 x 1,080 resolution at 401 ppi.
The screens are also 25 percent brighter and deliver a wider range of colors and increased contrast.
Improved cameras
Apple bumped iSight camera's resolution from 8 megapixels to 12 megapixels last year on the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus.
For the new iPhones, the resolution remains the same at 12 megapixels, but the iPhone 7 finally gets optical image stabilization (a first on the smaller model) and the larger iPhone 7 Plus has two 12-megapixel cameras; one has a wide-angle lens and the other is a telephoto lens.
With the two cameras, the iPhone 7 Plus can zoom up to 2x via optical zoom between the two lenses and up to 10x via digital zoom.
The new camera is comprised of a new 6-element lens with larger f/1.8 aperture which helps take even better photos in low-light situations, putting it on par with some of the best Android phone cameras.
There's a new quad-LED flash that outputs 50 percent more flash than previous iPhones
The cameras are also a lot faster to autofocus and shoot. On the larger iPhone 7 Plus, the camera is capable of capturing photos with bokeh (blurred out backgrounds) with shallower depth of field.
The front-facing FaceTime camera is now 7-megapixels (up from 5-megapixels).
Water and dust-resistant
The new iPhones are IP67 water and dust-resistant. That's good enough to be submerged in up to 3.2 feet of water for up to 30 minutes.
Stereo speakers
For the first time the iPhone has stereo speakers, which can output 50 percent louder sound. One speaker is in the earpiece and the other on the bottom.
Headphone jack is gone
Yep, the headphone jack is gone. Deader than dead.
iPhone 7 and 7 Plus users will need to use Lightning-based headphones, which will be included in the box.
Every new iPhone will also include a Lightning-to-3.5mm headphone jack dongle in the box that work with existing headphones.
Not into any of those two options? Apple's got new wireless AirPods, its new wireless earbuds that are basically EarPods sans wires.
Pricing and availability
The iPhone 7 will come in three storage models: 32GB ($649), 128GB ($749) and 256GB ($849). The iPhone 7 Plus also comes in the same storage models: 32GB ($769), 128GB ($869) and 256GB ($969).
Pre-orders start on Sept. 9 and devices ship on Sept. 16.
Installment plans will also be available:
iOS 10 and watchOS 3 will be available on Sept. 13.

How to Install Simple Screen Recorder in Ubuntu via PPA
SimpleScreenRecorder has been described as the Fraps of Linux.
When recording openGL applications or games, SimpleScreenRecorder is
capable of interjecting a library command upon launch to facilitate
proper screen capture. SimpleScreenRecorder does not require a large
disk-cache like glc,where glc requires a two-step process in order to create a final and
playable multimedia file. ScreenRecorder encodes on the fly while the
screen is being recorded, and a multimedia file can be 'saved' after the
user clicks on a 'Save the recording' button. Features
SimpleScreenRecorder can capture a video-audio record of the entire computer screen or part of it,or records OpenGL
applications such as video games directly. The program synchronizes the
captured video and audio properly, reduces the frame rate of the video
if the user's computer is too slow, and is fully multithreaded. Users
can pause and resume recording by clicking a button or by pressing a
hotkey. The program can also show statistics about the computer's
performance during recording.The program allows users to select options for the screen capture such as 'Follow the cursor' and 'Record the cursor'. SimpleScreenRecorder can output video and audio into many final file
container formats. These distinct video and audio encodings are also
customizable.The resolution and frame rate of the resulting video may be set prior to recording, as may the audio quality of the video.
Install SimpleScreenRecorder Ubuntu:
The Recorder has a PPA for Ubuntu and Linux Mint users.
To install it, press Ctrl+Alt+T on keyboard to open terminal. When it opens, run commands below one by one:

A lot of people hear about ROS and will be like what's that today i made up my mind to write an article on that so ROS is a collection of software frameworks for robot software development, providing operating system-like functionality on a heterogeneous computer cluster. ROS provides standard operating system services such as hardware abstraction, low-level device control, implementation of commonly used functionality, and package management. Running sets of ROS-based processes are represented in a graph
architecture where processing takes place in nodes that may receive,
post and multiplex sensor, control, state, planning, actuator and other
messages. ROS, itself, is not a real-time OS (RTOS), though it is possible to integrate ROS with real-time code. ROS was written in C++ or Python and is also a Linux operating System.
ROS was developed originally in 2007 under the name switchyard by the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in support of the Stanford AI Robot STAIR (STanford AI Robot) project.
ROS client libraries (C++, Python, LISP) are geared toward a Unix-like
system, primarily because of their dependence on large collections of
open-source software dependencies. For these client libraries, Ubuntu Linux is listed as "Supported" while other variants such as Fedora Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows are designated "Experimental" and are supported by the community.The native Java ROS client library, rosjava, however, does not share these limitations and has enabled ROS-based software to be written for the Android OS. Rosjava has also enabled ROS to be integrated into an officially-supported MATLAB toolbox which can be used on Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.A JavaScript client library, roslibjs has also been developed which enables integration of software into a ROS system via any standards-compliant web browser.
In my latter post i'll be writing an article on how to install ROS
