Instagram? Could reach Windows Phone?

If there is an app that users of the Windows Phone platform from Microsoft for sure miss that is Instagram. Windows Phone While there are some alternatives for implementation, there is nothing that can be compared to the original which is available for both Android and iOS. Now we ask ourselves one day be released a native app Instagram for Windows Phone? And the answer is yes, or at least that's what the guys from Nokia suggest.
The official Facebook page for Sweden to Nokia company has missed a small detail: Instagram to have said that Windows Phone is coming, but not yet have a release date. Obviously the comment is already cleared, but we must remember that there was a similar case in March, when a tweet from Nokia was said that the aforementioned app was in development.
Why Nokia erased your comment? As could be because they put something that was not right, or what everyone thinks, that what they wrote was not yet being released.
What do you think? Are Windows Phone users should be prepared for the arrival of Instagram?

Mantis, a terrifying 6-terrain robot legs

There are all kinds of strange inventions, but this is one of the most terrifying we have seen in recent years. What we have here is a kind of robot capable of walking legs 6 by all kinds of terrain. It is known as Mantis and its creator is Matt Denton, chief designer and founder of Micromagic Systems, where the Mantis has been in development for about four years. To function has a diesel engine of 2.2 liter capacity.
Now we ask ourselves how we control a machine like this? Due to its height of 2.8 meters and a weight of 1900kg (almost 2 tons), Mantis control is via a WiFi connection, but do not have all the details. As we said, the machine is driving all types of terrain except water obviously. The only bad thing is that it is a very fast machine, so probably it becomes difficult to prosecute someone if those are your plans.
Unfortunately, the Mantis is not for sale, but still would have been difficult to find a suitable garage for storage.
If we see the Mantis in action in this video we can do down here.

Apple has stopped asking components for Mac

Well, if this proves to be true, is extremely rare. Lately it has been reported that sales of computers and laptops has dropped considerably because most come with Windows 8 operating system that has been liked by few. Now we wonder: the decline in sales of Windows machines may have come to affect Apple Macs? Yes, it sounds weird, but that's the latest rumor from Digitimes, who says that Apple apparently will not sell as many Mac computers and laptops as planned during the first half of the year. If this proves to be true, we are not surprised that Apple has failed to request more components for their Macs, because currently have enough. Many Apple rumors run lately, but remember that not everyone is 100% credible, and we at least do not believe this is true.
It is further said that Apple's suppliers do not yet know at what point the company will request sending more parts, but it sure will not be for another few weeks.
Do you think Apple has really miscalculated sales for these months and now has more components in your hands?

When it comes to tablets and smartphones, the South Korean conglomerate Samsung tend to take it very seriously because their business model is to try to reach all possible sectors of the market: the low-end, the mid range and of course the high end. Well, it seems that the market for tablets soon receive a new device that is located between the high end and is known under the code name "Rome", and of course, is a product of Samsung.

Intel CEO says Windows 8 tablets are very cheap

Let's face it, the tablets that run with Windows 8 are not the most popular on the market typically have neither good sales. In fact, even the Surface from Microsoft has managed to be successful in comparison to the iPad or the Kindle Fire. Compared with platforms like iOS and Android, Windows 8 still has a long way to go in this business and a lot of manufacturers have yet to adopt this OS. Despite all this, the future of Windows tablets is not as dark as it seems . If they achieve the right price, these devices could undoubtedly become more popular and reach a larger number of buyers. Is this possible? Of course, comments the CEO of Intel, Paul Otellini, who has declared that some future tablets that incorporate Intel Atom Bay Trail can be purchased from $ $ 200 .

If we're talking 10-inch tablets, well equipped and running with Windows to only $ 200 dollars, then surely you would call a lot of attention from people. Today, one tablet Windows medium quality as the Acer Iconia W150 cost a little over $ 430.

Do you think these devices have a future in the market or are destined to fall into oblivion?

Facebook hires former Apple chief maps

The world of technology is great, but in this industry there are names that we will see repeated many times, and more than once speak about them to mention different companies. It is normal for a company to hire a former employee of another company to create new products. One of the people who was most affected by the poor performance of the iOS Maps application 6 was Richard Williamson, who was in charge of the project and who reportedly left the block at the end of last year, or perhaps was expelled, we're not entirely sure what is the case. Leaving aside this detail, it seems that Williamson has found work again, as some sources indicate that Bloomberg old maps Apple manager has been hired by Facebook and will work on mobile software division of the company.

Still not much certainty about what will work within Facebook Williamson, since after all the social network does not seem the type of company that would be interested in creating a map application, but their approaches are somewhat different.

What do you think the role of this former Apple employee now part of the Facebook team?
