Samsung: Next month a new smartphone concept

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is hardly imagined - and Samsung has the next big device on the pan. According to Engadget , CNET and the South Korean news agency Yonhap , the new device is a "curved display" feature, which is the cue for the flexible, for some time herumspukenden prototypes of the company. Currently, this is what Samsung has apparently because for us, still unnamed, but it already seems to be presented next month and possibly also offered in South Korea already directly for sale. Definitely, it should be ready sometime in the fourth quarter of this year. ( This last information came directly from the Samsung hive. ) Since the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2013 in January, we have not really seen anything of Samsung's flexible displays. At that time they had presented a 5.5-inch prototype of the "Youm" displays, which itself was indeed moving, the rest of the device, however, remained as we currently know it: Starr. Thus, a flexible screen of this type would probably just better shock resistant than conventional screens, but could not be bent around the wrist, for example. ( Greetings from George Lucas and Gene Roddenberry. ) According to Samsung's CEO for SDI, Park Sang-jin ( no, not Saiyan ), will the new device has an OLED panel with a "curve-shaped", but not completely flexible screen feature. What do you think of what awaits us there?! Something here ? Or something else ?

This was decided by the Court of Appeals of Virginia Wednesday, September 18, by voting against the dismissal of a former assistant sheriff of the city Hampton after he supported the Facebook page of a candidate other than the sheriff using the "like" function in an election in 2009.
A district judge had found in the first instance in April 2012, a "like" on Facebook was an "insufficient to warrant constitutional protection term" , says a Wall Street Journal blog .

SATISFIED THE COMPANY'S DECISION

The decision of the Court of Appeals of Virginia returns to consider the famous thumbs up blue air of Facebook as a position covered by the freedom of expression. After that decision, the Congress may make no law about it.

Behind Jolla, a Finnish company that was founded in 2011 by a team of former Nokia employee hides. Mainly have been attracted attention with their own mobile OS, called Sailfish. The operating system is replaced by the MeeGo project in the footsteps. Several months ago, the developers had then also announced a matching smartphone that simply "Jolla", should read. To the size and design of the time there was punk in May, though very little information until today. The 4.5-inch display Jolla should therefore have a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels. Centerpiece is a 1.4 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor from the series, with a gigabyte of RAM to be. As usual with smartphones gets the Jolla an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash on the back and a 2MP front-facing camera. The 16GB of internal memory can be expanded through microSD card slot. The battery has a capacity of 2.100mAh and will be interchangeable. Aboard the above is Sailfish OS.

Unfortunately, this is only in theory the case since Jolla does not support the Google Play. Apps must therefore be manually installed or loaded on the third - in times of regular news about Spähattacken malware and a rather unpleasant thought. This is a price which is far above the € 399-what is proclaimed date for comparable hardware, especially since the device should be available towards the end of the year.

Microsoft: smartphones, "the biggest regret" Steve Ballmer

Microsoft boss, who will leave the company next year, acknowledged having missed the turn of smartphones was "the thing he regretted most."

The head of Microsoft Steve Ballmer , who is leaving the group , acknowledged Thursday that his biggest regret was to have missed the turn of the mobile , but for him the computer giant has not yet admitting defeat in this area.

"Virtually no market share"

"I wish there was a period in the early 2000s when we were so focused on what we had to do with Windows that we have not been able to redeploy talent to a new device called the smartphone. This is the thing I regret the most, "Ballmer said during a conference call with analysts. "It would have been better for Windows and our success in other forms" of products, has he added.

Market of smartphones and tablets are now dominated by Apple rivals (with the iPhone and iPad) and Google (many manufacturers use the Android software). Microsoft itself has "virtually no market share" in mobile devices, Ballmer conceded, but felt that the group had suddenly "growth opportunities."

For phones , it relies on the recently announced acquisition of mobile phones Nokia Finnish group , with which he was already working to produce smartphones running under Windows, the Lumia.

In tablets , the Surface launched last year has not wowed the audience. Microsoft has had to significantly lower prices , which resulted in a charge of nearly a billion dollars in its latest quarterly results. A new generation of these devices , however, must be presented next Monday.

No details on the successor to Ballmer

Beyond mobile devices, Microsoft, according to Ballmer, significant opportunities available in the services of cloud computing , online subscriptions for example its office suite Office or the search engine Bing .

Ballmer has not yet buried the PC , despite the crisis in that product, which Microsoft is associated, but is challenged by the tablet. "We must work to ensure that the PC is the device of preference for people when they are trying to be productive," he has said.

Microsoft also said at the conference how his recent internal reorganization would affect the presentation of its financial results. He did not, however, elaborate on the ongoing search for a successor to Mr. Ballmer.
