Microsoft may be developing their own glasses Glass

The smart glasses (or whatever they are to be known these devices) are the new fashion apparently. Google has certainly started a small revolution in the world of technology with this mixture between smartphone and glasses, as far was not seen anything similar. As I commented that Baidu , the biggest search engine in China, is preparing glasses to compete with Glass ofGoogle , but it is not the only company doing it. Microsoft also joined the party, or rather, war as it is said the giant software would also be developing a similar device to rival any the search engine company.

Rumors about the "wearable technology", to call in some way, have increased significantly in recent months, since the departure of the Glass is closer, but not yet announced. Remember also Apple is working on a modern device that we can use, in this case a watch now known as iWatch.

Analyst Brian J. White is the source of the rumor on glasses of Microsoft, and since it is the first person who touches the subject, it is natural that we have our doubts, especially because analysts are not always right with his "predictions".

Do you think that Microsoft is developing their own glasses or that White is wrong?

Mozilla and Samsung working together? Frankly, this is a somewhat unusual combination.What is not unusual (at least for Mozilla) is that they are working on a new browser for mobile phones . Yes, both companies are collaborating on a new project known as " Servo ".

It is a mobile web browser designed to make use of multi-core processors in smartphones today, but also take advantage of the ARM architecture , as stated. The browser code is created in Rust, the new Mozilla programming language, which is also similar to C + +, Lisp and Erlang. The programming language itself is in its infancy in fact, and on Wednesday was released version 0.6.

With Servo,Samsung and Mozilla web browser intended to create a much safer and with far fewer vulnerabilities than the rest, without neglecting all they are the features, of course. Both companies refused to mention a release date or any details of the final product. However, it is likely that some future Samsung smartphones integrate the default browser, but do not expect the Galaxy S IV will.

5 things would be great to see in iOS 7

No operating system is perfect, that's obvious. Everyone always have some little mistake or do not have some property that we would like to have. iOS, as we know, is the second most popular mobile operating system in the world, lagging behind Android only. It is expected that in the coming months to be released a major new version of this operating system: iOS 7 . Of course, this new version will not be perfect, but there are some things that would be good for missing:

- A Smarter Siri Siri was released in October 2011, it's been 1 year and a half. The wizard quickly became very popular and at that time had no competition. Today, the Voice Search from Google not only more accurate, but also faster. Even Microsoft is preparing itself as told assistant, so Siri will need to improve.

- iCloud : This is a good service, but there are better on the market. Apple needs to improve and also improve integration with third-party apps. It would be great if we could move apps to the cloud in the form of backups.

- App Store : Apple store is great for all applications that are available, but lacks some things, like a preview mode for example. Would be great to download a paid app for free and that works for a limited time, so we can test it and make sure that is what we seek.

- The lock function and the home screen : if something has hardly changed since it was launched the iPhone, that is the function of lock screen and home screen itself (the Home). Any design change would do no harm.

- Application Management taskbar : iOS interface can be too rigid to some, especially when cruising between the different applications available. A general redesign of this and also of the taskbar would be phenomenal.

Now tell us: What new features, functions or designs you would like to incorporate iOS 7?
