SD EX-STANDARD GUNDAM EXIA (GN-001)

New line in Bandai's Gunpla product is SD-EX. Recreating older SD Gundam in 100% new mold with better detail and articulation. Now, I did assemble SD-EX Gundam Exia (codename Gundam Seven Sword) The completed one (after did assembly, put stickers, and lining)  : Good new design and looks cool. Different proportion that old SD-Gundam, head is smaller and have legs 😄, although when looking it from behind, legs not good to see, as it look empty. Details are better than the old SD ,but with some elements missing from original Exia's design. First, it's no clear part at all. Second, GN condenser on the right and left hand are missing, replaced for shield's grip. Third, no iconic clavicle antenna at the torso 😑 This Exia are equipped with some weapons : GN Blade, GN Shield, and GN Sword, but not with Beam Saber. Now, it's pose time : As my review on it, this one is versatile kit to pose around with it...

Just recently watched back Star Trek Beyond ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2660888/ ), interested with its filler song when Capt. Kirk and his crews in USS Franklin fight swarm of drones near Starbase Yorktown; Captain James T. Kirk : Let's make some noise! Good song which sing by Beastie Boys which title is Sabotage and released on January 1994 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabotage_(song) ) With its appearance in Star Trek Beyond, it made this song played two times already on Star Trek francise. This song first appearance was at Star Trek (2009), played when little James Kirk drive an old car. And, we know why Capt. James T Kirk said this; Kirk : [ hears song "Sabotage" blaring, aimed to destroy Krall's attacking swarm ] It's a good choice.

The IoT is about insight, not things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is arguably at the peak of the hype cycle, but while much of the discussion is focused on the "things" themselves or the networks required to connect them, the real value of the IoT will come from the cloud and data analytics behind the scenes. The big idea of the IoT is that capturing data from devices is cool, but if we are just collecting data, it's just telematics. The real promise of IoT is how you tie that data together with insight and intelligent action. Technically, we've been connecting "things" for years for M2M apps like utility grid sensors and fleet tracking. And while we're now connecting more and more things with more sophisticated apps, the real change is what's happening behind the scenes. What IoT is really about now is large complex data flows, which is enabling new types of insight and business opportunities that previously weren't available. The "cloud" is the enabl...
