>> Microsoft bans certain basic passwords across Microsoft services (including Outlook, Skype, Xbox and more). These passwords include "123456", "password" etc. Microsoft's active directory service Azure AD will be banning the same passwords soon.

Sony plans to develop smart contact lenses that take photos! 
The connected lenses that can capture a photo when the wearer blinks an eye, store that photo and then send it to a wireless device like a smartphone, tablet or computer.
It seems that the contact lens capture the photos, using a device like a smartphone to tell the lenses to capture an image. Has an On/Off switch as well...
The patent also convey that the lenses have the ability to zoom, focus and change the aperture, so the pictures could actually be pretty decent.
Will this be out? Expecting in few years!

Are you interested in horticulture or have a tiny plant in your home? Then you don't have to worry about charging your phone at times! (Power cut,...)
A European company is developing an gadget that will let you charge your phone with your potted plant!.
>> Their system, called Bioo Lite, uses the power of photosynthesis and generates electricity using only water, soil and any common house plant.
Power output from this system (which varies by plants) is equivalent to a USB charge from a laptop or desktop computer and can deliver up to three complete recharges in 24 hours to most smart phones or tablets.
Bioo Lite uses panels placed beneath the soil to draw energy from the natural process of photosynthesis.
Larger panels can be placed beneath garden plots, or smaller panels can be used with potted plants.
The process does not impact the process of photosynthesis or the health of the plant itself, according to developers!

Researchers have developed a flexible "sheet camera" that can be attached to any surface, taking photos and videos from angles previously impossible.
Like, the thin flexible sheet camera could be wrapped around a lamp post to record 360-degree videos, around the outside of a car to help drivers see blind spots, or even used as a regular camera that fits into a wallet.
