http://i.imgur.com/SmxNOB9.jpg

Apple has its own stores. Microsoft has its own stores. Even Samsung has its own stores as well. What is the only major company in the technology sector that has not yet? The search engine company, our beloved Google, but this may change soon. Apparently, the Google guys are preparing to open its own chain of stores near the end of the year, where you can buy your best products, such as the Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Chromebooks, among other things, not to mention Glass famous sunglasses.

The report comes from the same place where the first news leaked about the project Glass, so it's a pretty reliable source. The idea behind the store is so consumers can be easily done with Nexus devices, Chrome OS devices and other products that are on the way. The company believes that many people need to have a product in their hands before daring to buy, and physical stores would solve this problem.

The Google Glass is one of the main reasons why the search engine company wants to open a chain of stores, since many people will not be able to realize their potential without testing them first.

No one knows where these stores are located, but is likely to be launched initially in some major capital of the world, such as London, Paris, Berlin, etc.., Obviously besides New York, even if not a capital.

The Samsung Galaxy S III is indeed an excellent smartphone, and for some it is even better than the Apple iPhone 5. It's been almost a year since the S III has already been introduced, so maybe it's time to see his successor. We have read several rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S IV will be presented next month, and here's one more.

First reported by SamMobile and then confirmed by The Verge, the latter source says the Galaxy S IV definitely be presented in New York next month, more precisely on the 14th of March.

It seems that once again the South Korean company will focus on functions rather than on specifications. Stay Smart features like the S III have been well received by users. The feature-level jump from S to S III IV will definitely be big.

Recall that the S IV has an eight-core processor at 1.9 GHz, will also feature a Full HD screen of 5 inches, have 2GB of RAM, 4G LTE connectivity and will run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

Facebook admits to being hacked in January


 http://i.imgur.com/IWJd6LD.jpg

Surely many are afraid that their precious social network account is hacked Facebook, especially if it is a very protected profile and can only visit family and friends. However, recently, the company has admitted that his famous website was hacked in January, and it happened when some of the team members were infected with malware in their laptops without knowing it.

Although it has been suggested that the attack was sophisticated, we can now rest assured that as the social network of any user no data has been compromised. The company's official statement reads:

"Last month, Facebook Security discovered that our systems were the target of a sophisticated attack. The attack occurred when several employees visited a website that was compromised development. The site in question contained an exploit that could install malware on visiting teams. The laptops were fully updated and ran antivirus current analysis. As soon was discovered the presence of malware, clean the affected machines immediately inform law and began an arduous investigation that continues to this day. "

So far not much is known about it. Hopefully the people of Facebook again soon and make another statement that their employees be more careful.

The PS4 will be able to stream PS3 games

In recent days we have been talking a lot about the Sony PS4 and Microsoft Xbox 720, the two most anticipated video game consoles of the year. Now we have news on the PlayStation 4.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, there is probably a streaming service available for the PS4. This service will be used for streaming titles in our new PS3 console directly, so we can play them via the Internet. Apparently the stream will be exclusive to PS3 games, as the new PS4 will have to play them directly from the optical disk. The new technology will be presented on Wednesday 20 along with the new console.

Is this possible? Well yes it is, and there is a fact that would confirm: Gaikai purchase by Sony last year. Gaikai is an online gaming service, so it is very likely that Sony wants to get the most out of your purchase. We're not quite sure how Sony plans to implement this service to the PS4, but certainly will be something worth seeing.

Remember, the future console will come out on Wednesday February 20.

GRID 2 shows us a new gameplay

GRID 2 is a new car racing game being developed by Codemasters. It is the sequel to another title of the same gender, Race Driver: Grid, which was released in 2008 and received rave reviews from both magazines and analysts as the players themselves. GRID will be released for PS3, Xbox 360 and Windows in late May in Europe and North America.

About the game will know little. Apparently racetracks will completely real in locations such as in the case of cities like Abu Dhabi, Paris and some other U.S.. Besides, auto varied and include several years, with models in total 4 different decades. One of the strongest points of the game is its new operating system, known as "TrueFeel" and able to provide a similar experience to that of a real car, as told by Codemasters. Something worth noting is that it will have a cockpit view (or first person in this case), since apparently only 5% of players make use of it, so it would not be necessary to include in the game.

Below you can see a recent gameplay video that shows a little of what GRID 2 will offer:

Blackberry OS 10.0.10.261 leaked and available for download

http://i.imgur.com/niBm6Hs.jpg

Great news for anyone who owns a BlackBerry smartphone Z10. If you've been waiting for an update following the recent purchase of the phone, then here it is. According to a report from the Crackberry site, is now available for download (not officially) the operating system version 10.0.10.261 Blackberry. The update has leaked a couple of days ago and we can get her through the Crackberry forum, which has been published by a user. There have also been given specific instructions to install it.

If you are not sure if you should upgrade your Z10 (also compatible with Dev Alpha), then it is best to ask first if someone has managed to make a successful update and no problems reported later.

We should note that the update is "official" but it has not been officially announced, so not much data on the changes introduced. According N4BB, the most notable improvements (running on an Alpha Dev B) are at the level of the speed of the browser. Also likely to also have included the classics arranged for bugs.

If you do not want to risk, wait until it is officially released.

Apple should take care of future Windows PCs

http://i.imgur.com/tWVkDPr.jpg

The beginning of Windows 8 has not been good, and in fact did not even meet all the expectations of Microsoft. To make matters worse, the Apple iPad is virtually cannibalizing PCs and laptops, especially because most buyers are only interested in surfing the Internet and update your Facebook status. If you count tablets as PCs, Apple becomes the No.1 provider of PCs in the world, surpassing even big companies like HP and Lenovo, among others.

Even so, and seeing how the numbers are, it is obvious that the PCs are far from dead, and probably will not for the next 20 or 30 years. In fact, you may soon recover all his honor, as a Citibank analyst suggested that Apple should take care of future computers with Windows 8, which will bring innovation and new technology to industry.

While few innovations expected level tablets during the second half of 2013, will itself many innovations in computers and laptops. We're talking about teams with touch screens, ultrathin and ultraportable at very low prices that would be able to compete (and probably end) with the 10-inch tablet on the block, which is not prepared for such a challenge. Remember also that Intel wants ultrabooks future touch Haswell use their processors can be purchased from $ 600.

Do you think Apple should really give importance to this fact or simply should continue as it has done so far? Are the PCs and laptops a real threat to the company on the block?
