It seems like M.DOT is expressing a conspiracy theory regarding the death of Prodigy, an American rapper who passed away in 2017. According to M.DOT, Prodigy's death was not an accident, but rather a deliberate act to silence him because he was exposing the dark secrets of the hip-hop industry and its powerful figures.

M.DOT suggests that the official cause of death (choking on an egg) is a cover-up and that Prodigy was actually "taken out" because he was a threat to those in power. This theory implies that the hip-hop industry is controlled by a few powerful individuals who will stop at nothing to maintain their control and silence those who speak out against them.

It's important to note that there is no credible evidence to support this conspiracy theory, and Prodigy's death was thoroughly investigated and ruled an accident by the authorities. However, M.DOT's statement reflects a sense of mistrust and paranoia towards the music industry and its powerful figures.

Around is the new floating head video chat multitasking app

You have to actually get work done, not just video call all day, but apps like Zoom want to take over your screen. Remote workers who need to stay in touch while staying productive are forced to juggle tabs. Meanwhile, call participants often look and sound far away, dwarfed by their background and drowned in noise.

Today, Around launches its new video chat software that crops participants down to just circles that float on your screen so you have space for other apps. Designed for laptops, Around uses auto-zoom and noise cancelling to keep your face and voice in focus. Instead of crowding around one computer or piling into a big-screen conference room, up to 15 people can call from their own laptop without echo — even from right next to each other.

“Traditional videoconferencing tries to maximize visual presence. But too much presence gets in the way of your work,” says Around CEO Dominik Zane. “People want to make eye contact. They want to connect. But they also want to get stuff done. Around treats video as the means to an end, not the end in itself.”

Around becomes available today by request in invite-only beta for Mac, windows, Linux, and web. It’s been in private beta since last summer, but now users can sign up here for early access to Around. The freemium model means anyone can slide the app into their stack without paying at first.

After two years in stealth, Around’s 12-person distributed team reveals that it’s raised $5.2 million in seed funding over multiple rounds from Floodgate, Initialized Capital, Credo Ventures, AngelList’s Naval Ravikant, Product Hunt’s Ryan Hoover, Crashlytics’ Jeff Seibert, and angel Tommy Leep. The plan is to invest in talent and infrastructure to keep video calls snappy.

Not Just A Picturephone

Around CEO Dominik Zane

Around was born out of frustration with remote work collaboration. Zane and fellow Around co-founder Pavel Serbajlo had built mobile marketing company M.dot that was acquired by GoDaddy by using a fully distributed team. But they discovered that Zoom was “built around decades-old assumptions of what a video call should be” says Zane. “A Zoom video call is basically a telephone connected to a video camera. In terms of design, it’s not much different from the original Picturephone demoed at the 1964 World’s Fair.”

So together, they started Around as a video chat app that slips into the background rather than dominating the foreground. “We stripped out every unnecessary pixel by building a real-time panning and zooming technology that automatically keeps callers’ faces–and only their faces–in view at all times” Zane explains. It’s basically Facebook Messenger’s old Chat Heads design, but for the desktop enterprise.

Calls start with a shared link or /Around Slack command. You’re never unexpectedly dumped into a call, so you can stay on task. Since participants are closely cropped to their faces and not blown up full screen, they don’t have to worry about cleaning their workspace or exactly how their hair looks. That reduces the divide between work-from-homers and those in the office.

As for technology, Around’s “EchoTerminator” uses ultrasonic audio to detect nearby laptops and synchronization to eliminate those strange feedback sounds. Around also employs artificial intelligence and the fast CPUs of modern laptops to suppress noise like sirens, dog barks, washing machines, or screaming children. A browser version means you don’t have to wait for people to download anything, and visual emotes like “Cool idea” pop up below people’s faces so they don’t have to interrupt the speaker.

Traditional video chat vs Around

“Around is what you get when you rethink video chat for a 21st-century audience, with 21st-century technology,” says Initialized co-founder and general partner Garry Tan. “Around has cracked an incredibly difficult problem, integrating video into the way people actually work today. It makes other video-call products feel clumsy by comparison.”

There’s one big thing missing from Around: mobile. Since it’s meant for multitasking, it’s desktop/laptop only. But that orthodoxy ignores the fact that a team member on the go might still want to chime in on chats, even with just audio. Mobile apps are on the roadmap, though, with plans to allow direct dial-in and live transitioning from laptop to mobile. The 15-participant limit also prevents Around from working for all-hands meetings.

Competing with video calling giant Zoom will be a serious challenge. Nearly a decade of perfecting its technology gives Zoom super low latency so people don’t talk over each other. Around will have to hope that its smaller windows let it keep delays down. There’s also other multitask video apps like Loom’s asynchronously-recorded video clips that prevent distraction.

With coronavirus putting a new emphasis on video technology for tons of companies, finding great engineers could be difficult. “Talent is scarce, and good video is hard tech. Video products are on the rise. Google and large companies snag all the talent, plus they have the ability and scale to train audio-video professionals at universities in northern Europe” Zane tells me. “Talent wars are the biggest risk and obstacle for all real-time video companies.”

But that rise also means there are tons of people fed up with having to stop work to video chat, kids and pets wandering into their calls, and constantly yelling at co-workers to “mute your damn mic!” If ever there was a perfect time to launch Around, it’s now.

“Eight years ago we were a team of locals and immigrants, traveling frequently, moving between locations and offices” Zane recalls. “We realized that this was the future of work and it’s going to be one of the most significant transformations of modern society over the next 30 years . . . We’re building the product we’ve wanted for ourselves.”

One of the best things about working remotely is you don’t have colleagues randomly bugging you about superfluous nonsense. But the heaviness of traditional video chat swings things too far in the other direction. You’re isolated unless you want to make a big deal out of scheduling a call. We need presence and connection, but also the space to remain in flow. We don’t want to be away or on top of each other. We want to be around.

Getting started with Magento PWA Studio

On November 28, 2018, Magento introduced the most awaited release of Magento 2.3. Magento 2.3 has introduced a ton of new features along with a lot of smaller optimizations. But the most awaited feature is Magento PWA Studio. It is a suite of tools that empower developers to develop progressive web applications. Magento PWA Studio also uses GraphQL which is one of the new feature introduced in Magento 2.3.

What are Progressive Web Applications (PWA)?

Progressive Web Applications (PWA) are the future of web app development. PWA with Android Instant Apps is the next advancement in web industry after responsive web design. Progressive Web Apps uses progressive enhancements that offers features similar to a native mobile application. Progressive Web Apps and Android Instant Apps combined together lets you create beautiful apps with material design and animations without the need of installing them on any device. Have you ever encountered a popup while browsing a website on mobile device saying “ADD TO HOME SCREEN”? When you click on the button, the application installs itself in the background. Now that application shows in your app drawer and offers the experience of a native mobile application. The app was downloaded from a web application without seeing the face of Play Store or App Store. Isn’t it great!!! These PWA apps offer offline access to the content without the need of an internet connection. A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web app that uses modern web capabilities to deliver an app-like experience to users. It is –

Progressive – because it lazy-loads itself. Web – because it’s written in the languages of the Web – HTML, CSS, and, JavaScript. An app – because it installs and runs code on the mobile device.

Features of PWA

PWA has numerous features that differentiate them from the traditional web and native applications –

Fully Responsive & Cross-Browser Compatibility PWA’s are built using progressive enhancement principles which is a web design strategy to provide the basic functionality and content to everyone irrespective of the browser.  So PWA’s work with all the available browsers and are fully responsive which offers the same experience to a tablet or a mobile user.

Fast & Secure PWA uses many optimization techniques to offer a blazing fast app experience and is completely secure as the apps are served through HTTPS, so no unauthorized user can access the app.

Works Offline PWA sites cache content to ensure that some content can be served when a user is offline.

Push Notifications PWA’s offers support for push notifications which helps in keeping the end-user engaged and motivated to open and use the app more often.

Easy Installation PWA’s are applications but are not distributed through app stores. The apps can be shared via a URL and can be easily installed by just visiting a site and adding it to the home screen.

Advantages of using PWA

For Website Owners Cost-Efficient Progressive Web App uses the web stack for the development. It results in less time and efforts which results in cost efficiency. Moreover, the same application can work on iOS, Android devices so you don’t need to build an app for multiple platforms.

Time-Saving Progressive Web App helps in saving your precious time as you don’t need to have a separate app for Android and iOS. One app can be used on both the platforms which result in faster time to market.

For End-Users Low Data Usage In many developing countries, mobile data is still an expensive commodity. PWA solves the data usage issue as it uses only a fraction of data compared to a native mobile app.

Easy Updates PWA offers up-to-date experience to users without the need of any installation. It also addresses the problem of software fragmentation as you don’t need to maintain an older version of the application.

Fast loading Loading time of a Progressive Web Application is 2-3x faster as compared to a responsive website or an m.dot web stores. It results in smooth performance on a mobile device.

What is the Magento PWA Studio?

Magento is becoming a Progressive Web Application platform. That means they made a suite of tools for building online stores as Progressive Web Applications.

These tools help developers learn PWA techniques, build lightning-fast PWA front-ends, and create PWA components and extensions for reuse or sale on the Magento Marketplace.

Taken together, they are tentatively calling this suite of tools the Magento PWA Studio. In other words, we can say –

Magento PWA Studio is used to develop online Magento stores as Progressive Web Apps. It is a set of tools used for the development of React-powered Magento 2 templates.

The Magento PWA Studio provides the following tools –

PWA-buildpack – PWA Buildpack is a build and development tool and library for Magento Progressive Web Apps. Use the PWA Buildpack project to set up and configure your local environment for PWA development. peregrine – The Peregrine project is a collection of UI components for Magento PWA projects. Use, extend, or remix these components to create a unique Magento PWA storefront. Venia storefront /PWA Storefront – As we know that when Magento 2 comes it brings a new default theme under the name “Luma”. Luma is a very clean, easy on the eyes and elegant theme that has adopted better usability practices. Luma was just a proof by Magento that how the theme is built on the basis of their blank theme. In the same manner, Magento PWA Studio introduces Venia storefront as a proof-of-concept PWA built using PWA Studio. In its current state, the storefront contains examples for product details and category pages. Venia is a PWA storefront that runs on top of an existing Magento 2 backend.

Embrace the future of websites

2019 is the time for businesses to rethink the way to engage customers on mobile. Mobile has grown into the main driver of how users interact with websites. More and more people are turning to mobile devices to browse the web, as well as making purchases online on the go. The experience therefore needs to be fast, reliable and engaging in an secured and accessible environment.

Keith Teare Joins MediChain as an Advisor – a Headline-Worthy News in the Blockchain ICO Market

All eyes are on MediChain now as Keith Teare, a globally-recognized serial entrepreneur with big ideas and an impressive record of winning high returns for the investors joins the MediChain Advisory Board. The recent addition of Teare in MediChain’s team is being seen as one of the greatest achievements of the company, since the executive chairman of Accelerated Digital Ventures has previously advised on the successful ICOBox, Crypterium, FluzFluz and EnergiMine ICOs.

Stating his views about MediChain, Teare said,

“Medichain represents a bold attempt to leverage the blockchain for patient records. It has long been recognized that patient-centric records represent a goal that would make health care far more efficient and enable doctors the benefit of seeing a patient’s entire medical history. Medichain is executing on that vision. Unlike others, it is also using machine learning to allow insights that can be gleaned from aggregate data. If it reaches its potential this will be a significant contribution to humanity.”

About Keith Teare & His Successful Journey

Keith is the co-founder of Archimedes Ventures where Mike Arrington’s TechCrunch was born and incubated along with Edgeio. He and Arrington were co-founders in both companies. Teare ran Edgeio and Arrington ran TechCrunch. He was the founder and CEO of RealNames Corporation and earlier the co-founder and CTO of EasyNet – the first European ISP.

Working at RealNames, he created a multi-lingual naming system, with distinct national namespaces, sitting on top of the DNS. It used natural language keywords, mapped to URIs to allow native language navigation. Teare raised more than $130 million in venture funding and filed for an IPO in 1999. After negotiating a worldwide agreement to include RealNames in the Microsoft browser in early 2000, the company had an implied valuation of more than $1.5 billion. By 2002, it was responsible for over 1 billion keyword navigations per quarter. It had agreements in Japan, China, and Korea, and was responsible for supporting the nascent multi-lingual DNS system run by Verisign.

He was the Seed funder and chair of NetNames, the founder of Clerkswell — a leading UK systems integrator as well as the Co-founder of CYBERIA, the world’s first Internet Café.  Teare also served fotopedia being its founding board member.

Keith Teare Foresees Blockchain as the Future of Most of the Industries

Being a blockchain enthusiast and a start-up expert, Keith Teare strongly believes that moments of change represent the best time to invest in tech. His prediction is based on the fact that blockchain is going to be just everywhere in near future, and that’s what the transition in his professional journey shows:

In 1981, he was focused on networking and shared data.

In 1994, he initiated to harness the power of the Internet (EasyNet).

In 1997, he turned to web services (RealNames).

In 2005, his focus was on Web 2.0 (Archimedes Ventures, Edgeio, and TechCrunch).

In 2010, he extensively worked on mobile (Archimedes Labs, Quixey, M.Dot).

In 2018, he is all set to exploit the Blockchain (Accelerated Digital Ventures and MediChain).

MediChain, leveraging the advisor-ship of Keith Teare, is planning ground-breaking developments on the platform in near future.
