As many know, one of the leading manufacturers of devices Apple, Foxconn, has been criticized in the past due to poor working conditions that have to support their employees.
Foxconn has tried to respond to this criticism several times to improve working conditions in their factories. The problem is that ultimately found their employees too pressured due to the production of the new iPhone 5 and have just begun a strike.

In stage of Android tablets currently many companies compete. All these offer different models with different specifications and equipment, but it seems that when it comes to the amount of small tablets available models is not much, and the first line positions is Amazon Kindle Fire and the new Nexus 7 Google.
Alcatel is a company well known in the world of tablets, but it is a bit more in the market for mobile phones . Despite this, the firm has risky to launch its own 7-inch Android tablet, the new OneTouch T10, whose screen has a resolution of 800 × 480 pixels.
The specifications of the hardware of the device are not anything special. It has a single-core processor at 1GHz, 1GB of RAM available and has 4GB of memory that can be expanded using a microSD card. The tablet uses Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, so we can not acquire with Jelly Bean, and we're not sure it's possible to update it.

Mozilla launches a preview of what will be Firefox for Windows 8 Metro

Mozilla has just released what is considered the first preview of Firefox Modern Metro UI interface for the new Microsoft Windows 8. Admittedly, "Metro" (the old name of interface) sounds much better than "Modern UI" (the new one), so no surprise that Mozilla did not want to rename the browser.
Metro Firefox can be installed on computers using the latest Windows 8 development packages that are available here . After installation, you will need Firefox to become the default browser, because if not, to simply throw open the desktop version. Apparently (note, not a confirmation) all browsers Windows 8 would work in this way, which is not at all nice because if we want to try another browser to change it to default every time you need to use it.
As you have seen in the picture, this version of Firefox will be a little familiar to those who have used the new version is available for Android and iOS. The tabs are located at the top of the browser and the buttons were minimized, giving it a more minimalist yet more striking and elegant.
As you have seen, too, the home screen you see on the image is quite colorful, with pictures to color markers (take the small icon color), while the most recently visited page can be seen on the right.
At first glance, the browser is not bad and we hope to improve further when the full version is released.

Samsung could be testing a smartphone with 3GB RAM

In the picture above we are seeing what is said, is the prototype testing a new model of mobile phone. While the device says "3GB" and not "3GB", was confirmed by a source that what we are seeing, is without a doubt of a smartphone with 3GB of RAM, which would make it the first of its kind . The same source also said that Samsung has decided to remove the home button, changing the design.
The truth is that not much is known about it. It seems that these prototypes are being tested and the final version (or the final version) would be coming to market next year. Nor do we know if it is the future Samsung Galaxy S IV or a new model of Galaxy Nexus.
What we did not fully convece is as follows: 3GB of RAM. Obviously, the more RAM the better, but this amount of memory is not necessary since even current smartphones work perfectly 1GB and 2GB models cases could count on the fingers.
What do you think about this? Why Samsung wants to improve technology using 3GB of RAM? Hopefully you have something great in hand, but if so we will learn not officially until next year.

Apple x Samsung in 60 seconds

A teaching video and quite illustrative account in just a minute trajectory of fights within the world of mobility. In the illustration, the designer shows that Apple has revolutionized the mobile phone market with the launch of the iPhone in 2007 and, as in any segment, it did not take long for other companies to emulate novelty.

In 2011, Apple sued Samsung claiming that the South Korean manufacturer owned 12 products that infringe its patents. The jury agreed with the apple company and the Asian company was forced to pay $ 1 billion to the competitor. But it was not so bad for Samsung, since the products in question represented only 2% of the company's profits.

Even with the fight over patents, the agreement between the companies was of interest to both, since Samsung produces about 26% of the components used in the iPhone. However, the battle also affected Google, since the operating system that runs on devices of South Korea is Android. Smartphones with the search giant's platform represent 60% of the current market, so the competition has become much more difficult for Apple.

At the moment there are still some processes running around the world between the companies and the final chapter of this story, according to the video, are consumers themselves who will decide. Watch the animation below (in English). In Online MBA can see illustrations of stories on various subjects such as Euro, for example.
