Nokia choose Windows for a simple reason : Samsung

Almost three years ago, Stephen Elop made ​​a decision that almost no one understood it. Nokia CEO came in front of a crowd of reporters along with Steve Ballmer and announced a partnership with Microsoft , among others, was reflected in the Lumia series terminals. In a time when it seemed the obvious choice Android and Windows Phone was just an experiment in which no one believed, one of the world's largest handset manufacturers showed signs not to be turned in the direction.
It's been a long time, and Windows Phone is starting to look increasingly better. In terms of global sales, has already surpassed BlackBerry , but in the subconscious of many of us remained the question of the current CEO of the Finnish decision. Why Nokia deal almost exclusively of terminals with Windows Phone?Because of the dominance that Samsung managed to impose its terminals Android universe, especially the series Galaxy S. Stephen Elop was very realistic when he described why he preferred to take the risk of relying on a new platform instead enter an endless race for supremacy in the crowded market with Android gadgets.
"I had a suspicion about who might be because of the resources they have available and vertical integration in the market. I respect the fact that I was late in making the decision. Many others already working in this space. " 
At the time, I never understood why Nokia assumes an unnecessary risk with Windows Phone. Now, however, the quality of products and engineering efforts invested in Lumia series terminals appear to be sufficient to increase the popularity of both Microsoft platform, and to increase company profits.

Gmail change the interface

Google has just changed the message composition window in Gmail.In  past few months, to compose a message in Gmail, giant has decided to offer what seems a new window operating within the same workspace. By clicking, editing window that appears in the upper right corner and if you wanted to access old email meantime, could minimize to return to it later.
From now on, the page that the creation of a message will not be limited in size to that corner of the screen. With one click the full screen button in the top right, you can significantly increase and bring in the middle of the gmail page. If you enchant this option menu accessible via the lower right corner you can set this as the default composition window - 'Default to Full Screen''.

Apple and Samsung reach an agreement ?

After fighting that lasted several years , Apple and Samsung are ready to make a deal related to patents on which they dispute. Apparently the two giants would hold talks started last summer, when Apple registered a significant victory in court. Wall Street Journal says that the two companies were close to a deal since February, but then inexplicably stopped discussions. In recent months we have seen a move away from Samsung to Apple when it comes to supplying components. Orders screens for LG Display and Sharp have increased and it was rumored that TSMC or Intel processors will deal with Apple in the future.
The solution is simple: both Apple and South Koreans must provide access to their patents by paying the requisite license or by trading with other licenses. A final agreement with the palm beaten would mark an important step along the career of Tim Cook to lead Apple. And that's mostly because his predecessor, Steve Jobs wanted to destroy Android and its partners

This year HTC has tried a completely different design for One and apparently had great success. Of course success is not guaranteed, but Apple, if it remains confined to the design now and will bring new innovations over innovations will collapse slowly.
