Apple sues Samsung for $2 billion; Samsung sues Apple for $7 million, Ecumenical News - 0 views

  •  
    The smartphone wars are taking a turn for the worse. Last week both apple and Samsung companies made patent infringement lawsuits against each other. Apples lawsuit of 2 billion dollars against Samsung is for use of the slide-to-unlock feature, auto word correction, universal search of the phone, and Internet and background syncing of data. While Samsung's 7 million dollar lawsuit against Apple is for the use of remote video transmission and on digital imaging. I believe that apples case is a little childish compared to Samsung's especially with the part about the slide to unlock future. Samsung's case seems to be about more important matters like using its camera and the remote control patents. I personally would like Samsung to win because I prefer their products and customer service over Apple's.

'Minecraft: Pocket Edition' Surpasses 21 Million Copies Sold; Title Update 15 Releases ... - 1 views

  •  
    Minecraft PE is one of the greatest apps ever. Minecraft PE has stood on its head since it's release and is one of the most popular apps of all time. Minecraft was originally a PC game but some may say that the Pocket Edition has proven to be better. So will Mojang(the creator) slowly add more content or will a new follow up be at large?
  •  
    Minecraft PE can be a very enjoyable game. Over 21 million copies of this seven dollar game was sold since its initial realise for the Xperia PLAY on August 16, 2011. I fined did really interesting that this game is doing so well. The mobile version so far, has 7 million more copies sold than the PC version. The PE version still does not allow redstone placement, although it can be mined and used in crafting recipes, and have near infinite worlds. I believe many of the customers are first time players who want to try the game at a lower cost. Although I do like the Pocket edition version, the PC version just has more to offer with the possibilities of mods an online multiplayer game modes.

IBM and 3M Discover the Secret to Making Processors 1,000 Times Faster [VIDEO] - 1 views

  •  
    3M and IBM found a simpler way to make processors 1,000 times faster, not by creating new circuitry, but with glue. This is not just any kind of glue. It's glue that dissipates heat so effectively that you could stack layers of chips, glued together with this special adhesive that keeps things cool. This results in faster computer chips for computers, laptops and anything else that uses microprocessors. This special adhesive would be great for IBM, 3M and for us because they would be earning money while their customers(that's us) would be enjoying their computers now compared to before the "special adhesive" was made.

    Last week a source at Research In Motion (RIM) reached out to us with some images of what they claimed to be BBM for Android.  Said source read the comments on that post and decided to come back with a few more images to explain some of what you were seeing.  These new pictures show off threaded messaging as well as the ability to customize your fonts.  According to what the anonymous source tells us, you'll also be able to change the size as you want for easy reading. All of the accounts shown in the images are test accounts, so don't be thrown by that part.

Add Some Color to Your iPhone 4S With Colorware - 0 views

  •  
    Ok, so the iPhone 4S looks pretty much the same as the iPhone 4. However that can change with the company ColorWare(you know it's american when colour is spelled color) and its ability to customize Apple products. Of course these fancy modifications do not come cheap. The price to modify a 16GB iPhone is at a price of $1500. However if you send your iPhone to ColorWare, the price is reduced to $250; which is still alot.

Can Microsoft Salvage Windows Phone? | TechCrunch - 0 views

  •  
    When Microsoft launched Windows Phone last year, I was of the opinion that it was a platform that would never build steam. The entrenched players - iOS, RIM, and Android - already controlled the market, and the hiatus between the last Windows Mobile phone and the first Windows Phone was too long for even the most dedicated or curious customers to wait. According to buyers and reviews, the windows phone had everything pleasing about from display to run times and lets not forget the interface. The reason windows didnt sell so many of their phones was because the time between windows phone left a big gap and many people were just simply not interested

Internet providers to begin warning customers who pirate content - CNN.com - 0 views

  •  
    Many of use know about pirating, and some even do it. So far we thought that it was an easy way to get things with little ways of getting caught; this however is going to change. A knew security system is in development and bound to be out within the next 2 months that will catch those who pirate, and if numerous warnings are ignored; they will be prosecuted. This program watches popular sites such as bittorent and tracks the ip address of those who download illegal content. Then it sends warnings and if those are ignored, you will be tracked and investigated. Overall I believe this software will help stop pirating, but it will be met with huge opposition because most people wont be willing to give up their access to free movies, music, software, etc. Also this raises a privacy issue, but as this security system only tracks your IP, its not much of a problem compared to other tracking systems out there. To conclude, I believe the future of this system is filled with huge debates and maybe even battles.

A Beer Drinkers Dream-Beer Launcher - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    This is what my dad wants me to build for him. This guy uses two computer programs to launch the beer. The first program is in the remote, and it waits for the button to be pushed. Once it is pushed its sends a signal over the air ways to the second program in the fridge telling it to load the beer. When the beer is loaded, the computer program tells it to launch. This relates to our class because the guy uses computer programs to do a task. Later in the course we will learn how to program.

  • Virus Shield, an app that was No.1 on Google Play's paid download charts, is a scam, according to Michael Crider at Android Police. Virus Shield was a $3.99 app that promised it could protect your phone from harmful spyware and malware invading your device. It also claimed it would have battery life improvements and "no pesky advertisements." Despite having over 10,000 downloads and multiple high ratings, the app didn't work, Crider says. Android Police writes that it was just a fake: All Virus Shield did was switch from a red "X" image to a "√" check image with a single tap.  Android Police points out that Deviant Solutions (the alleged developers behind the app) don't have an official website in the Play Store and people on Google+ have complained about Virus Shield as well. Google took down the app earlier this morning. Google Play has struggled with malicious apps lately. Last week, two Android apps were discovered to be abusing unwitting users' phones to mine dogecoin and Litecoin. Google doesn't police its app store but it does offer a way for customers to complain about inappropriate or sketchy programs.

    This article was about the leading android app on the Google store to be a scam. It was suppose to protect your phone from malware and spyware, it costed $3.99. Virus sheild just changed the logo from an "X" to a check mark with no effort needed. Many complaints have been sent it saying that this app did not work. Making the price high and having good image previews, and a good description will make people want to buy it because they trusted the rating's and reviews. The app ended up not working, and with other 10,000 downloads, the people that made this scam, made a large amount of money. Google took this app down, and has their eye closely on malicious apps, to prevent this type of scam from happening again.
