Google is working on a new app which can calculate calories in a meal through pictures of the food/meal. Google named it as Im2Calories. Im2Calories will rely on image-processing or image recognition technology to identify the food in pictures, and by analyzing the pixels it will estimate the number of calories in the food. As the app can't identify some things in the food like the oil you are using, etc. So, it means you can’t get an exact calorie count, you can get a relatively accurate range according to Kevin Murphy, Google’s research scientist. But the app can learn from it's experience. For example, when you takes a picture of the food, the app analyzes what it sees, it spits out a report listing what it believes it has found: fried rice, tomato, onion, etc. At this point the user has the option to edit and make corrections to the report, say user can change fried rice to boiled rice which will tell the app that the rice were boiled and were not fried. After that t...

Many peoples got error messages like "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style" and sometimes it's MBR partition style. So, why does we got these messages. To understand this we should first understand what is GPT and MBR. What is MBR and GPT Well, MBR and GPT are the format of Harddisk. MBR refers to Master Boot Record and GPT refers to GUID Partition Table. MBR only supports the maximum capacity with 2 TB and can have upto four partition or three partitions and one extended partition.
