Qi (pronounced as "chee") charging is an optimized inductive charging concept also known as “wireless charging,” allowing you to charge your devices wirelessly. Compatible devices’ batteries are charged by using induction transfer without requiring separate chargers, cables or adapters... Simply place your compatible device on top of the wireless pad and watch your device charge. Finally--an end to cords!

If you've been pinned under a particularly massive boulder for the past month and haven't heard about Google's latest reveals at its annual I/O conference, you missed out on the biggest gamechangers in tech. But, while much of the focus has been turned to Android M and Google Glass and other software releases, there hasn't been nearly as much press on Project Ara, and that's just ridiculous. Here's what you should know about Google's underrated project and why it's set to change the future.

Rockchip has announced at COMPUTEX Taipei that it has launched the world lowest power WiFi technology RKi6000 jointly developed with a third party. This technology makes WiFi power consumption equal to that of BT4.0 LE (Low Energy). The receiving power consumption is around 20mA during use, which is 85% lower than state-of-the-art WiFi devices for the Internet of Things (IoT), setting a benchmark power consumption level that should renew the standard for WiFi power consumption in IoT smart hardware globally.
