  • And getting the right price could make all the difference for Samsung. "They don't want to be more expensive than the iPhone," Segan said.
  • But that 4G network connection may prove a major difference between the two. 
  • Unless Apple has made some sort of secret breakthrough, [the faster LTE network] might make a Verizon iPhone too thick and power-hungry for Apple's demands this year. Apple may skip it for now and wait for smaller and cooler chipsets," Segan noted.
  • That faster connection really pays off for anyone surfing a lot of complicated websites or viewing movies over Netflix, he said. 
  • But in the end, pricing, a final feature set and the design is all up to the carriers. "The mainstream price for a smartphone is $199 with contract," Segan noted. "We're all hoping for $199."

Shark Attacks Shock Russian East

  • Shark Attacks Shock Russian East
  • MOSCOW — When a young man lost both his arms this week in the waters off Russia’s east coast, officials and residents initially had trouble believing what had happened. But a day later, when a teenager’s legs were ripped up in the same waters, all doubt vanished.
  • a man-eating shark

  • coastal Primorsky Krai, along the Sea of Japan.
  • Large sharks have been sighted in the region only rarely, scientists said, and attacks until now were unheard of.
  • The first victim, a 25-year-old computer programmer, had been out for an evening swim with his wife on Wednesday at a popular vacation spot near Russia’s border with North Korea.
  • “It was only about 300 feet,” Ms. Udovenko said, according to the Interfax news agency. “About halfway there, Denis noticed something in the water and screamed, ‘Swim faster, it’s a shark.’ ”
  • Late on Thursday, the Russian news media reported a third attack, citing local residents, though officials did not immediately confirm it.
  • Witnesses gave varying descriptions of the shark, putting its size at 6 to 12 feet long. After reviewing the accounts, several scientists said they believed it was probably a great white.
  • That body of water is home to seals and other shark prey, but not in sufficient densities to sustain large sharks. A hungry great white, lacking its typical prey, Dr. Astakhov said, “could certainly have attacked a human.
  • Another draw for a great white might be water temperature. The waters in the region have been several degrees higher than normal, making a more attractive environment for great whites, according to Mr. Zgurovsky.
  • Russians’ blasé attitude toward danger is a source of national pride, and despite the ban on swimming, local news media reported Thursday that beachgoers continued to take to the water.
