May not include Samsung Exynos processor and an AMOLED display on the Galaxy S IV

The advantage that a company have its own processors for use in mobile devices is that they can avoid having to resort to third and make agreements and contracts, not to mention that they can solve problems faster and have more control over the manufacturing process of the component . So far, several have used Samsung mobile processors that the company has created, but this may not remain so.

The South Korean company may be changing their strategies, as it would have chosen to use a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 600 to 1.9GHz on its new Galaxy S IV, instead of octa-core Exynos everyone expected. Besides this, the phone will not have an AMOLED display, but will include a Full HD SOLUX.

According to the site SamMobile, the processor on which Samsung has been working, the famous eight-core Exynos, has some overheating problems, which have led the manufacturer to take a new decision and opt for a CPU of Qualcomm.

Of course these are all just rumors. If you want to know the absolute truth about the Galaxy S IV, then remember that the smartphone will be presented on March 14 in New York.

Judge rebukes Samsung's mega-trial with Apple over patents in the U.S.

The judge of the mega-trial that pits Apple against Samsung in U.S. court rebuked the South Korean giant to publish evidence that was excluded from the summary, but Apple rejected the request for a verdict on the case.
Judge Lucy Koh showed his irritation at the conduct of Samsung, which reported in the media documents that she had decided they could not be seen by the trial jury on patent violation of smartphones and tablets, which began on Monday in federal court in San Jose, California (west).
Koh said that Samsung's lawyers were "on notice that the possibility of contaminating the jury was real" and berated them for "a deliberate attempt to spread evidence that they knew had been excluded."
However, Apple rejected the application of additional sanctions or a verdict in favor of the company in Silicon Valley.
Koh asked the jury to know if anyone had read the press reports. One confessed that he saw a headline on the internet, but said they had not read the article. The rest stated that he knew the news.
"I will not have any theatrical or sideshow to distract us from the reason we are here, which is a fair hearing on this case," said Koh.

Apple said in documents filed in court that "Samsung and its advisers have engaged in legal conduct in bad faith by trying to prejudice the jury" to disseminate documents suggesting that Samsung was working on its own smart phone before the launch iPhone.
"At Samsung was not allowed to tell the jury the whole story and show the design prior to developing iPhone ... Samsung in 2006," before the famous Apple device, the South Korean company said in a statement.
"Excluded evidence would have established beyond doubt that Samsung copied the iPhone design. Fundamental justice requires that the jury decide the case by reference to all the evidence, "the statement said.
The vice president of worldwide marketing at Apple, Philip Schiller, were subpoenaed to testify Friday.
The jury began on Tuesday to hear arguments from both sides, in what promises to be the largest patent judgment entered in the United States.
The U.S. Apple claims more than 2,500 million dollars to South Korea's Samsung, accusing it of copying its designs and patents. Samsung, meanwhile, accuses the iPhone maker and iPad violate some of its patents for wireless communications.
The suit seeks to unravel these accusations.
The two companies, which together monopolize almost half (49.5%) of the global market for smart phones, also face legal in several European countries and Australia.
While the results in these countries have so far been mixed, Samsung is clearly on the defensive in the U.S. case.

It is estimated that Asia is the continent with the highest rate of child labor, and here are the companies that provide parts of devices like the iPhone and smartphones Galaxy. Apple insurance company is not the only criticism on the grounds of some workers, since apparently the great rival of Apple, Samsung, has been charged in a similar way recently. As reported by a Chinese activist group, the company HEG Electronics, provider of the South Korean firm, has children under 16 years in their factories, which work under conditions which are not appropriate, but that's not all.

Come home satellite into space

 

In addition to the satellites created by the various space agencies in different countries, also groups of academics and universities have made ​​their own models and many of these are now in orbit around our planet, but here we have a satellite manufacturing home that has been created by the South Korean Song-Ho Jun in their own home .
This man of 34 years spent about $ 500 to create OPENSAT, a small satellite that weighs 1 kilogram and is shaped like a cube. OPENSAT is the result of an idea flashed through his head while working for a private company that manufactures satellites .
Once the small is in orbit, will be able to transmit data using radio and Morse code by LED lights. What may sound a little ironic that the launch will be thousands of times more expensive than satellite, costing about $ 120 million. Fortunately for Mr. Jun, the company will be responsible for carrying NovaNano into space in December.
