Site iMore.com make some revelations about the iPhone 5. Two things to remember: first, its design is not finalized, on the other hand, one should not expect a "revolution" on that front.
Concerning the second point, iMore said he should not expect a giant screen with a 16:9 ratio. It may be that the screen is slightly larger than the iPhone 4S, but its size should not exceed 4 "in the best case. on the other hand, the metal back is not valid either.
Compared to other rumors about the iPhone 5, however iMore confirms three points: the presence of the home button, the arrival of a dock connector more compact and support of 4G.
Ultimately, these rumors are quite similar to those of iLounge, even if it believes in evolution for the largest screen size that is closest to him 16/9 format (read: Rumor: New iPhone thinner and taller) and evokes a back up of two materials: partly glass, partly gray metal found on the iPad, or Apple computers.
iMore specifies that the successor to the iPhone 4S released in October. The same site also believes the launch of an iPad 7 "this fall. The iPad 7 moves into the rumor
Almost a year ago the rumor had, under the mysterious name "Spartan Project" by the development of a Facebook app store launched in HTML5 from the browser or mobile application (not just a way of accessing groomed the web version).
Over time eventually confirmed the rumors and the company has just officially announced the beta for its own App Developer Center so that we have seen and the resulting statistics and demographic data use may be associated with a very sweet dish for many developers.
But what is most important, and one of the true values of the App Center is not only facing the developer but for the user and the ecosystem where it has the bright idea of land. For example, in IOS is directly facilitating the arrival and enabling the use of applications that might otherwise be closed or limited by strict eligibility rules imposed by the company in his shop.
Thus, the Facebook App Center would make "app store app store inside." This being said, from within the App Center can establish links to an iPhone application or traditional Android, by pressing the "Install" button will open the corresponding window in the App Store or Google Play and after installation the user would perform the corresponding login with Facebook, which is a feature that every application present in the App Center should implement.
At the moment there are already some applications such as Draw Something, Pinterest, Spotify or Viddy. The launch is expected within a few weeks, until then the developers have time to prepare your app to include the day of release in a section which can be accessed from the browser version but also from IOS and Android.

The State of Nevada on Monday granted the first license for a automatic car, lacking driver. Last year, the state legislature legalized the presence of these roads in their vehicles, which are experimental. That law came into force on March 1, and the State has taken only two months to grant the first license.
Thus, Nevada, which, with 12.3%, has the highest unemployment rate in the country, hoping to attract a group still unexplored for technology companies. Google, in fact, is after the initial legislative momentum such action. The company has been testing cars such years.
Last summer, one of these vehicles had its first accident near the company headquarters in Mountain View. Google maintains that the car was in manual mode when the crash occurred, of little importance. Their cars have come so far on California roads. They say in the company that these cars have traveled 257,000 miles in a few tests in the U.S..
In an entry on the official blog of the company, in 2010, the engineer and vice president Sebastian Thrun explained how these cars, "Our automated vehicles using video cameras, radar sensors and laser rangefinders to 'perceive' the rest of the vehicles, well as detailed maps to navigate the road. "
Google often used in the Toyota Prius hybrid car project. One of them was granted the first license in Nevada, after lawmakers were to try on some roads and streets of Carson City, the capital, and Las Vegas, the largest metropolitan area. The company also has some Audi TT and Lexus RX450h, also automated.
Nevada law, however, does not allow unhindered movement automated car occupants. They must be in at least two people, one driving and one in the passenger seat. The companies also must provide the State Administration a test plan, a list of roads that the vehicle will circulate and invest millions in the relevant insurance.
TouchType is a project of case for iPad spéficiquement designed to carry an Apple wireless keyboard with the tablet. Unlike the case of Origami Workstation, which only protects the keyboard, TouchType also protects the iPad - and is also compatible with the three generations of Apple tablet.
The set is not particularly elegant, but seems to work: the case is a classic portfolio with elastic to help guide the iPad in both directions and with different inclinations, but it also has an insert to slide the keyboard . The keyboard is stored on the back of the iPad, as much as possible to refine the case.
TouchType will be three models available for sale: a gray polyurethane and two leather, one brown and one black. "Will" because TouchType is currently a kickstarter project - which has already reached its goal in one day.
A year ago, in one of these transactions that will be remembered forever, Microsoft paid out 8.5 billion dollars and became owner of the company's largest market VoIP, Skype. With the growth of the company provided, Microsoft and Skype have made a change in the way it works all the management of users and connections, originally belonging to the architecture of P2P supernodes. These days it ran a rumor that Microsoft was using Linux for 10,000 servers to replace the model of P2P supernodes. ¿Linux servers hosted by Microsoft? Was it true?
From that day on which Microsoft signed the checks for the inclusion of Skype on devices like Xbox, Kinect, Windows Phone and connectivity applications such as Outlook, Xbox Live, Lync and even Bing have been promoting itself and evolve as Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström (founders of Skype, which they then sold to eBay) must be in some island paradise enjoying the pleasures untold. Lately, the Redmond company has turned upside down Skype's infrastructure and has made changes that really surprised at the extent and for at contradictory. How? Yes, because these days it ran a rumor that Skype P2P supernodes replaced its Linux servers hosted by Microsoft.
What did they do? Looks like a mouthful, but so far Skype working with a system based on what are called P2P supernodes, whose nuclei could support up to 800 users. This decentralized P2P system provided a solid infrastructure, but it was still a dangerous activity if it is related to the type of information passing through them, being in constant danger of malware attacks by the immense amount of users that has scaling leading VoIP service. Thus arose the hypothesis, an expert in security, Kortchinsky Kostya, who said that Microsoft had made available to 10,000 Linux machines that are hosted by them. These computers would be running a Linux distribution using grsecurity patch and package configurations designed for servers more resilient to attacks, as noted by Arstechnica site.
The strange thing is that at first glance you could tell they have these computers would be much more expensive as an investment for Microsoft, but as the theoretical maximum of supernodes classic was 800 users, each computer can accommodate 100,000 users, making the maintenance would be more centralized and inclusive. What was even stranger about the use of Linux on the part of Microsoft, who has repeatedly said that its main competitor is the open source system. But this was not the case. One day after everything was laughing Reddit Microsoft is attacking Microsoft, an employee of Skype announced the following:
As part of our ongoing commitment to continuously improve the user experience of Skype supernodes have developed that can be placed on dedicated servers in secure data centers. This has not changed the underlying nature of Skype with the use of P2P architecture, where the supernodes simply allow users to find each other (no calls go through supernodes). We believe this approach has immediate benefits in performance, scalability and availability for hundreds of millions of users who make up the Skype community.
And yes. Insofar as they give more information, we will be happy to tell you specifically how Skype is working these days, but what appears is that they have implemented the model explained by Kostya Kortchinsky, but without getting rid of the supernodes and apparently unused Linux, but do not specify
Guerrilla marketing carries a reputation as the most effective that companies can employ. It seems more fun than advertising, to reach the public more directly and becomes nothing but love those responsible for advertising, something viral. The last major company in the world of new technologies to use guerrilla marketing to position a product has been RIM, who has launched a campaign with these features.
The campaign began in mysterious ways few days ago. A flashmob took the street in front of Apple Store Sydney. A spontaneous group stood in front of the windows of the establishment, holding banners inviting wake. The flashmob was not identified at first as a movement of communication from RIM, so at first it was thought Samsung (who is starring in an advertising onslaught quite aggressive against Apple and the iPhone) as the firm behind the campaign.
RIM Australia confirmed to the media but, as stated BusinessInsider that they were responsible for the campaign, pointing to a dramatic effect on - then - May 7.
The company pushed the guerrilla marketing actions with classic print ads and a special site dedicated to the operation, as noted by The Verge, which includes the great manifesto antiApple everyone expected as RIM had announced itself. RIM claims that not only have to think differently "also must be done" in a direct attack on Apple's classic slogan, and says that doing business is no longer just wear a suit and a briefcase, but something else.
BlackBerry has long been associated with the image of the terminal for the business world, something that the popularization of the smartphone has been penalized. In the mass market, a phone for the business world does not have the same appeal as other types of terminals.
The company has just launched BlackBerry 10, the new version of its mobile operating system and could be the last hope of salvation from smartphone signature. In the last year, RIM has seen its highs - and historical - responsible left the firm and has made efforts to position themselves where their competitors have been successful, such as trying to attract developers to Android.
DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is the agency linked to the Department of Defense United States that is responsible for developing research projects related to the U.S. Army. The structure of the agency is quite large and has the support of companies, universities and research centers across the country with which develops projects as PETMAN, AVATAR, forays into the world of Big Data or insect-cyborgs in which intend to install embedded systems. Given that the work of DARPA should reverse in the U.S. Armed Forces, the agency announced a new line of work and seeking to develop nanochips that can be implanted in the troops and monitor, at a distance, their vital signs.
Why monitor the health of the soldiers? The idea of DARPA is that this implant allows the control of any mission to detect, proactively, any enfedermedad the soldier to avoid having to perform, for example, a medical evacuation in the middle of a mission. Seen this way may at first glance may seem that research is novel because, today, there are multiple tele-assistance systems and remote patient monitoring but in the eyes of this DARPA research has much to offer and can make a before and after.
According to data provided by DARPA, most medical evacuations taking place in the front are derived from common diseases and injuries not caused in combat so that, by monitoring, could detect these mishaps occur long before, and Therefore, replacing its effective if necessary.
DARPA wants to develop this system on a chip that can be implanted in soldiers and also has the ability to transmistir information on vital signs and also to send data on their position or even his psychological state. The truth is that the project is quite striking and, frankly, is very close to the border of invasion of privacy, for example, when a soldier is on leave, going to the reserve or withdrawn.
Is this a way to prepare the ground? Apple filed a complaint with the World Organization of Intellectual Property in order to get hold of the domain name iPhone5.com. Since Apple owns the trademark "iPhone", the request has a very good chance of succeeding.
The domain name was filed in 2008. For two years, he has a small forum where we talk about the successor to the iPhone 4S.
Apple has often been dilettante on the protection of domain names revolving around its brands. She got hold of the domain name iphone 4.com one year after the launch of its phone. Same with iphone4s.com, she tried to recover after the launch of the latter. So once will not hurt the Apple brand takes a little ahead. The question is whether the successor to the current model will be called truly iPhone 5. But that's another story ...

All hands to battle in London: Samsung stormed the Earls Court Exhibition Centre to present its newest, the Galaxy SIII. Over two thousand European participants were invited. Samsung partners and journalists are there to discover the new high-end smartphone.
Presentations, the new Galaxy SIII sports a more rounded design than its predecessor, the Galaxy SII. It also has a larger screen, which is not necessarily an advantage. Admittedly, the resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels (306 ppi) can play high definition videos and use the device for some functions of a tablet. But access to the upper corners of the screen with your thumbs is difficult to say the least. This could deter people with small hands to get this smartphone, which will be available in France in early June, from 649 euros. The device will be available in white or blue, not black, to the surprise of familiar with the brand.
"For humans"
At a conference Thursday afternoon, officials Samsung presented the product as "inspired by nature" and "developed for humans." And some features seem to confirm improved ergonomics. For example, the phone automatically dials the contact displayed on the screen if the user wears the device to the ear. Is captured, the software automatically recognizes faces and includes profiles + Facebook or Google to associate with the image. A function that will delight not necessarily defenders of privacy. One of the gadgets that will probably fade most geeks is the wireless charger, which recharges the battery by simply placing the phone on a dedicated area, without connecting.
Technically, the Galaxy SIII is compatible 4G (some versions). It embeds an 8-megapixel main camera and a 1.9 megapixel front, both capable of recording videos in HD. It has a gigabyte of RAM, and will be offered in three versions incorporating different storage capacities (16, 32 and 64GB). You can add a micro-SD memory card. It measures 136.6 mm x 70.6 mm x 8.6 mm, and weighs 133 grams.
