Why Inverted Smileys Make Some People Flip (-: Haha [VIDEO]

-
So a new study reveals that emoticons are actually changing human brains.

In this video, it has been studied that unlike Smiley's, we know see :-)  as a new language.

Our brains treat it as a written language to decode.

Smileys are a different story since we humans have always accustomed to seeing faces in things as part of our evolutionary trait like seeing faces of divine subjects on clothing's or sandwiches.

Although we recognize :-) as a human face smiling, our brain is reacting to it differently.

This is very reason why some people flip out when they receive an inverted smiley like this one (-: or this (:

How about you do you find the inverted smiley weird too?

How often do you use emoticons or emojis on your messages?

Driving Hyundai Tucson 2019 in the Philippines is More About The Looks

-

The new turbodiesel 1.6 engines and the tablet-type infotainment screen are also coming

The success on the market has seen the rise of the Hyundai Tucson since its debut when it has taken the place of the already successful iX35.

Apparently the SUV mania was already taken four years ago and the Korean C-SUV has known how to ride it.

But now half-generation and after more than 55 thousand copies sold in other markets, it is time to redo the trick, both from the aesthetic point of view and especially from the motorist taking advantage of the entry of Euro6 dTemp, in fact three new engines diesel: a 1.6 l 115 and 135 V and a 2.0 l 185 bhp that uses the new mild hybrid technology .

As mentioned aesthetically, some strategic highlights are evident especially in the front where LED lights and the Cascading Grille arrive, the identity mark of the Hyundai SUV family, the new bumpers and the new tailgate on the back and the lights that have been slightly restyled.

Review of the Xiaomi Mi Band 3 in the Philippines, Priced Php 2,600

-
Image
It's been two years since Xiaomi launched its previous Mi Band on the market and for this reason the wait for the most talked-about smartband on the web had grown out of all proportion. Today we give you my opinion on the Xiaomi Mi Band 3.

There is nothing new in the package. Only the rubber bracelet and the accessory to charge the Mi Band. Perhaps we ask too much but considering the price of  replacement straps, perhaps a second colored bracelet in tribute would not be bad.

Overall, the design does not change much compared to the previous model and this is also a recognizable Mi Band from a first glance. But there are various details that demonstrate the work of Xiaomi on the product. The strap and the hook seem more robust and even the "capsule" of the Mi Band remains attached even better to the bracelet. Even the body of the product is larger, both to accommodate a larger display, but also for the presence of a more protruding heartbeat sensor. Needless to deny that …

Together with the family of P20 smartphones, this year Huawei launched itself in the field of full wireless headphones and presented its Huawei FreeBuds .

But the AirPods are there (as are the Gear Icon X 2018): the wow effect is reduced , what is left of these headphones?

Apple Watch Series 4 Review Philippines, Price Starts at Php27,000

Apple Watch has always been a product that generates hate and love. I hate because it has often been defined as an imperfect and very expensive product, because love for Apple users is the only real wrist wearable that can squeeze the potential of their product. Since its launch in 2015 it has remained substantially unchanged and for this reason in the "s" year for the iPhone , Watch series 4 is a bigger news than one might believe.

OnePlus 6T in the Philippines is 34,599 Comparison with OnePlus 6

-
Image
What has changed from OnePlus 6 to OnePlus 6T ? If much can actually be told from the respective technical data sheets, something can also be added from our experience in the field, although this time we have to admit that the pure numerical data tell a good part of the experience.

This is due to the fact that the basic hardware, the cameras and the software is substantially identical, thus essentially leading to two smartphones that offer a user experience not too dissimilar. OnePlus 6T is definitely a bit thicker and a bit heavier: nothing transcendental, but if you love thin and light devices you will notice the difference. But it gains something in handling.

Increases up to 3700 mAh but the battery and this largely justifies the increase in weight and size, as well as the absence of the audio jack (yes, but after all we knew). The screen is then of the same type but it is bigger and the dimensions are even more emphasized by a notch smaller than before and that therefore just brea…
