Google preparing own SmartWatch

It seems that not only Samsung is preparing a SmartWatch for the next period,  Google want to make the same thing, which is however in the beginning of the project. Search engine giant would have bought the company Wimm Labs technologies required to get the package.
Wimm Labs is a company in Los Altos, California, and the acquisition took place last year. This team at this firm is made up of professionals not only need a hardware device worn on the wrist, and software engineers. Wimm Labs is responsible for a platform for Android developers created especially for terminals that can be worn as accessories.
In 2011 the company launched even SmartWatch for developers, because last year has suddenly disappear off the radar, being bought by Google. Initially it was rumored that Apple would have made ​​the purchase, but apparently not.

Some of the specifications of the Samsung GALAXY Gear:

Samsung GALAXY Gear will be presented at IFA Berlin 2013 with Samsung Galaxy Note III. He spoke in 2013 of smart watches, smart watch and GALAXY Gear seems to be one of them. Apple would have something similar in the pipeline, although a few weeks never discussed anything about him, not even enough information at the web.

Samsung will made changes

Galaxy could receive a welcome breath of fresh, if rumors will come true that announcing abandonment for all plastic enclosures .Information circulated South Korean media announced major changes in the design of Samsung products. Pushed back increasingly aggressive competition, the company's designers search for alternative materials for Samsung products. The list of possible candidates are aluminum and magnesium, the first being recognized for reduced weight and manufacturing cost is not very high and the second for hardness and quality finishing results. The list would be able to find carbon fiber material for durability and visual appreciated particularly the finishing results.
 The new design with alternative materials will debut in tablets and phones premium, ex. Galaxy S5, leaving lower price range devices in plastic casing imitating metallic finishes applied more expensive models.

Samsung versus Apple smartphone buyers

Users of iPhones are on average better educated, younger and wealthier than those who prefer competing solutions smartphone Samsung (CIRP).Thus, while one of the counter-ads Samsung launched against rival mocking Apple iPhone phone owners, suggesting that the Cupertino company's products are sought only for "nerds elders", in reality the situation seems to be different. So-called nerds are actually well educated young and financially better than Samsung smartphone owners.




The study compiled by the U.S. indicate that most users of iPhone phone falls in the age cohort 25-34 years old, college graduates and have average or above average income. The same study shows that although most users of smartphones Samsung fall in the same age group 25-34 years, the proportion of those who hold a graduate degree in higher education is lower, and the number of low income is higher .The observed differences can be explained quite easily if you look at the offer Samsung products. Unlike Apple, which has so far offered only in premium products, generally more expensive than the market average and accessible to a limited category of users, Samsung has chosen a generalist approach, launching smartphone models for all tastes and pockets.

Zeus attack the social network

He began his "career" as a virus that steals credit card data, but has come to "steal" likes and followers on Instagram. The popularity of applications has led hackers to think of such a possibility to commercialize user accounts and work on them.Virus victims are five times more valuable than credit cards robbed by the same guy on the program.
Intention is one that can bring money, 1,000 followers is "selling" $ 15, while 1,000 likes worth $ 30 on the black market. Market "swallows" almost anything Hotmail accounts , Twitter accounts ($ 20 for 1,000 such accounts, while Google and Facebook are selling more expensive ($ 100 for 1000 "chunks").  
According to Reuters, some artificial popularity online can be beneficial (because, you know, bring online popularity in the online environment). Experts argue that online social data collected from Instagram are more important than me about a book you think, for example.

Blackberry is at end of the road

Nokia and HTC are going through difficult times, but their position seems downright encouraging when you look at the direction it is heading BlackBerry. After the release of the long delayed BlackBerry OS platform 10 and the first terminal they use, the company has obtained than mediocre performance and decided at the last moment, to announce the availability of a partnership or a sale.
Now, BlackBerry is facing a bad stock situation, its indications losing about 38 percent in the last six months. Although initially it was rumored that BlackBerry shareholders will redeem the entire shareholding and to solve problems away from the capital market, the company announced today that it has appointed a committee whose purpose is to create a partnership opportunities discovery or sale of the company.
In fiscal quarter which ended in late May, the company announced that it sold 6.8 million BlackBerry terminals, only 40 percent of them but based on the new BlackBerry OS platform. Performance was below the expectations of analysts, who were detained at the outset anyway, even Windows Phone range from Nokia managed to attract double the number of customers. While scoring a quantitative increase from the previous quarter, higher number of terminals sold was accompanied with financial losses, and the company decided to officially announce the opening of opportunities for collaboration or sale.
In my opinion it's a shame it's downright dramatic. It is the best example that poor management can put down a company as strong as RIM.
Unfortunately failed to keep pace with customer needs with market trends and not least with the technology. The largest mobile phone manufacturers, and here I am referring to Nokia, Motorola, RIM (Blackberry) came in a situation that no one would have imagined.
And all thanks to Apple, which has managed to dominate the market with the iPhone for a few years. The only ones who understand that something has to change were those from Samsung, so strengthened their position in front of the Nokia, RIM and HTC.Only those who will be able to truly innovate will survive and will dominate the market.
Now it would be very interesting to see some big mergers that lead to innovation, technology and design. All that remains is to wait.

Youtube App is back to Windows Phone Store

It seems that one of the applications with problems is YouTube after it took a long time to get a decent alternative to the iPad now, Windows Phone owners have a lot of problems. A while ago Google forced Microsoft to bring out from Windows Phone Store YouTube application available at the time, but now have returned with a better option.
The idea was that Google and Microsoft to work together on new application to create a viable product. A Microsoft spokesman confirmed that the application will be available today. In May, when Microsoft attacked Google on software giant search engines complained that there are no advertisements included in the Microsoft.
The revenue Google AdSense were affected and suffer. And Microsoft had problems with Google's policies, they even EU complaining about Google's refusal to provide access to metadata Youtube. Finally, the new version of the application comes with support for video uploads, live video streaming and voice search.

iPhone 5S will be released on September 10

Sources close to the company have confirmed to the U.S. the next or the next iPhones will be officially announced on September 10, 2013. That information comes after several weeks in which cases, renderings, jacks and cameras of the following smartphone created by Apple have reached the internet.
Tension grows in the market in terms of hypothetical giant creations led by Tim Cook. After intense speculation that Apple will try to capture the mainstream market with new terminals, plastic and colored the other day I learned that his replacement Steve Jobs himself pressed by shareholders to speed the pace of innovation in Cupertino. With a possible fingerprint sensor hidden somewhere in the casing, the iPhone 5S should be, in many respects, similar to the current flagship of the Americans. If we find out information about an iPhone and 5C or iPhone Lite at the same September 10, that will be a unique opportunity for us to clarify what websites and online publications have the greatest justice and published the first accurate information about famous iPhone software.
The new devices will be preloaded with the new OS, while the same firmware update will be available for the entire range of iDevice in recent years a few days earlier to start selling iPhone 5S. 
Opposite rumors that it would be nice to see them confirmed Apple event, but chances are that this does not happen, the clock intelligent and revolutionary Apple Apple TV in the form of a modern Smart TV is possible with a tiny degree of probability materialization. Instead, OS X Mavericks would be out of beta around the same date.
