What you see in the title has said one executive of South Korea's Samsung. Jun. Dong-soo, chairman of the memory chip division of the company, said that Windows 8 has failed in its efforts to strengthen sales the computer desktop. In addition, Mr. Dong-soo believes that the PC market will fail to recover soon.
Dong-soo said, in terms of impact to the industry level, that Windows 8
is better than Windows Vista, one of the above platforms Microsoft, known for being despised by most users.
The executive also said that due to the failure of Windows 8, the
market for desktop computers will begin to lose sales versus device
market phones .
Dong-soo seems decided to say what I thought, and also stated that the
launch of the Surface has had very little market demand and also says
that the failure of many ultrabooks is due to the Windows platform.
While W8 has not been as successful as it was expected, some companies say they are good times ahead for the market for PCs
What do you think? Windows 8 has really failed as did Windows Vista?
Can you imagine if you hear via the Internet are going to be fired? For surely many Motorola Mobility employees are not going well right now, and thanks to information that has leaked, have revealed plans for Google to lay off 1,200 workers of that company producing mobile . These 1,200 employees to be laid off soon form part of the 4,000 that was announced will be dismissed between 2012 and 2013.
Some emails from a company spokesman reached the hands of the Wall Street Journal.
It seems that layoffs will occur because some costs are too high and
the company is operating in a market in which there is a profit, but is
losing money.
This layoff will affect staffing offices located in the United States, India and China. The job cuts are the latest move of the search engine company to make a profit with Motorola Mobility.
Recall that currently rumored Motorola is creating a smartphone that will make great use of Google services and use also a software that has not yet been implemented in any mobile.
According to sources cited by DigiTimes, in the course of the year both Apple and Samsung will begin to make use of new wireless charging technologies, which would be available for new smartphone flagship of each company, which will be the Galaxy S IV and the iPhone 5S .
It is worth mentioning that today is possible to charge your iPhone
wirelessly, but require special housings and other third-party devices
to do it. What people think is that Apple will create (or creating) your own unique system for wireless refills.
Implementing a wireless charging system for the iPhone require a huge
overhaul of mobile, especially if available for the iPhone 5S, which is
expected to have an aluminum back cover like the current iPhone.
Regarding the other company mentioned in this article,Samsung
, we have no data about their future system reloads, but we are sure of
one thing: if there is, we'll see in a few days when it introduced the
Galaxy S IV in New York, for which requires less than 1 week.
Apple is planning to use a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor in your future iPhone also inexpensive and this processor would be manufactured under a 28nm TSMC process, as indicated by the newspaper China Times. This certainly would be a highly unusual move, as the company Apple uses its own processors in the series "A" on their devices mobile iOS. Remember also that these processors are manufactured by Samsung in Texas.
The same report indicates that Apple will continue to use the series to
other devices, and it seems to opt for the Snapdragon only in the case
of future low-priced iPhone.
Currently there are two sets of 28nm Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, which are the 400 and the 800. These CPUs include Bluetooth connectivity, WiFi and cellular course. While some models can further include Snapdragon LTE connectivity, the iPhone seems to have only low-cost 3G.
It also says that other companies are also involved in the new project from Apple. Renesas produce LCD drivers, while Toshiba, Elpida, Micron Technology, Hynix and SanDisk SK produce NAND.
Face Recognition?? No, that's a bit dated. What today is the recognition and being back app from Google Glass incorporates this function.
Well, it does not focus specifically recognize us by our back, but its
major function is to identify without seeing your face, for which
generally would be back, though not always the case.
Google
has launched a fierce application development program for his glasses,
which are among the most anticipated devices of the year. Note that one of its applications, which we talked about in this article, has won the Google Faculty Research Award.
The creators of the application, which incidentally is called InSight, are Dr. Srihari Nelakuditi University of South Carolina and Dr. Romit Roy Choudhury of Duke University.
InSight allows us to identify a person when you can not see his face and being even in a crowd. The software makes use of visual data, design patterns and movement data of the individual to create a kind of "visual fingerprint."
In tests that were conducted recently, the application could recognize
15 different people properly for 93% of the time, and all without using
any technology of facial recognition.
This application undoubtedly have many uses, one of which is to
identify criminals who bring their faces covered if previously has the
same data.
InSight is just the tip of the iceberg, and that in the coming months
will begin to emerge more applications that can really fabulous greatly
influence our lifestyle.
Between last November and January, Apple returned to take the place of the number one manufacturer of mobile phones for the U.S.. The market share of the company on the block marked by 37.8% according to data collected by comScore MobiLens. Samsung
once again stood in the second place, increasing its share to 21.4%, a
slight improvement when compared with the previous two quarters.
The two giants of the market for mobile phones managed to improve their marks at the expense of HTC and Motorola, who fell by 1.7% and 1.4% respectively. LG managed to slightly improve its share, which rose by just 0.3 %.
In terms of operating systems, Android
is still obviously winning platform with a share of 52.3%, but that
means it has had a slight decrease compared to the previous room. IOS has improved slightly, increasing by 3 percentage , 5%. In fact, iOS was the only platform which improved its share, for the rest, that is Windows Phone, BlackBerry and Symbian, suffered losses.
It is expected that this new room BlackBerry able to improve its brand with the launch of BlackBerry 10.
Does more discouraging news of the day? According to a new report from Cenzic, 99% of the applications that the company has tested, whether for mobile or web applications have security flaws that can be exploited, and the average number of faults per application is 13 or so. Yes, 13 security level vulnerabilities are a lot.
It seems the most common type of vulnerability is the XSS, or Cross-scripting, especially in web applications. At the level of the app for mobile, the most common vulnerabilities are infrastructure.
The fact that companies want to create apps able to connect with each other has created several security holes that probably no one predicted they would be there.
Of course, for obvious reasons Cenzic not released the name of the applications tested, but it seems that there were many.
So how are you apps are vulnerable, insurance that the vast majority of
the remaining applications also have some kind of security level fails.
When is a streaming music service is not officially recognized as such? When it comes to YouTube obviously. While the service was originally designed for people to upload their own videos, has become a musical paradise. If looking for a song and can not find it on YouTube, you probably will not find anywhere else on the Internet.
Music is a very important part of YouTube, and not just climbing record
companies, but also to provide users of the popular platform. While there streaming music services like Spotify, Pandora and others, the video portal of Google is still very popular.
Taking all this into account, it should not surprise that the search engine company wants to launch a music streaming service through YouTube.
Google is planning to do this for a few months, and it seems that the
big launch of the new service will occur in November or December as
expected. In addition, Warner Music will be the first record company to join the party.
The potential of this project for Google, for the record and for users, without doubt is huge.
YouTube attracts over 800 million visitors a month and a lot of them
use the video portal for music they already know and to discover new
music.
Do you think this service will be successful?
