Run Android Apps On Windows and Mac With Bluestacks



BlueStacks App Player lets you run mobile apps fast and fullscreen on Windows and Mac like Angry Birds Star Wars, Flipboard, Zynga Poker and Instagram fullscreen.




What is BlueStacks?

Bluestacks is a Silicon Valley-based software company that produces BlueStacks App Player and BlueStacks Cloud Connect. Both products are designed to enable Android applications to run on Windows PCs, Macintosh (Mac) computers and Windows tablets

How Does BlueStacks App Player Work?

Its App Player software can run Android apps designed for a mobile phone on most computers, allowing players to experience the game on a larger display. Once installed on a PC or Mac, the software lets users operate games and other apps with their mouse, touchpad, or microphone. With BlueStacks' software, people can take apps from their Android devices and send them via a piece of software downloaded on to their device called Cloud Connect directly to the BlueStacks player on a Windows PC.

When a user goes through this simple procedure, Android apps just show up in the BlueStacks Player on Windows. Like magic, they run on Windows as is, in full screen, with no performance degradation. That means software written for Android, such as Pulse and Flipboard, can now run on your Windows PC and be tied to the data layer of your Android version, too.

Mimo smart Baby monitors reports nighttime activity levels

Digest: Mimo is a connected onesie that monitors a baby’s sleep and feeds the information back to parents using an integrated smartphone app.
Each year in the United States, about 4,000 infants die suddenlyof no obvious cause, many of them in their sleep. Mimo alleviates any fears parents might have by letting them know everything is all right and setting off an alarm when things are not.

How may Mimo help you?

Mimo baby monitor lets you see the things that you actually care about and are already checking.

  1. Respiration sensors are the softest and most comfortable sensors around. They let you check that your baby is breathing, no matter what they're doing.
  2. Temperature sensor, you can know that you've got your baby dressed properly, and that the A/C is working.
  3. The body suit records the motion of your baby so that you can tell how active they are.
  4. With medically backed sleep algorithms, know when your baby falls asleep, and how well they're sleeping. 

How does it works  

Mimo comes with three organic cotton onesies that act as respiration sensors, a toy turtle clip that monitors movement and a Wi-Fi base station shaped like a lily pad that is fully equipped with a microphone.

Mimo’s organic cotton kimono is fitted with non-contact machine washable sensors that measure a baby’s respiration. When paired with the Mimo Turtle, we can monitor your infant’s respiration, skin temperature, body position, and activity level. We send all this data to the Mimo Lilypad Base Station via infant safe Bluetooth Low Energy.

The Mimo app enables parents to do three things: see their baby’s data in real-time; set alerts to let them know if anything changes; and to view trend and analytics about their baby’s sleep (and more!) over time. The app works for both iPhones and Android devices.
