2012 the most costly mobile phones in Korea

South Korean mobile phone in 2012, the standard payment per $ 415 device is much higher than the world standard of $ US166: According to Strategy Analytics data.

In Korea, the level of prices are expected to hover above $ 400, to 2017, according to Yonhap a research firm in Hong Kong. The country at $ 390, followed by Canada of $ 350, U.S. $ 323 and U.S. $ US281 Norway: Beyond the Japanese.

Article pointed out that South Korea's major OECD countries the highest mobile phone replacement rate, because generous operator subsidies and aggressive marketing drive customers often change their gadget. Last December, the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) prohibits telecommunications operators signed a new mobile phone subscribers exceeded the level of subsidy that allows fine.

South Korea has the world's maximum mobile phone alternate rate, according to Strategy Analytics, a separate report. South Korea smart phone users replace their equipment in 2013 from 67.8% to 70%, is expected this figure. However, this figure will gradually drop to 62.9% by 2017, as market saturation state, which is the major smart phone manufacturers Samsung and LG.

The new Dell Precision M3800 workstation teasing of 3,200 X1, 800 resolution laptop

Dell announced that its upcoming Precision M3800 workplace will be the world's "thinnest and lightest" workstation notebooks. Show this week at SIGGRAPH2013 meeting, the company is playing with a new laptop on its website.

Precision overhaul including the newest Haswell's (or fourth-generation Core) Intel processors and NVIDIA Quadro graphics (perhaps the new K6000). Equally important, particularly for the MacBook Pro competition, M3800 will be equipped with a 3,200 X1, 800 (QHD +) revealed that the beating of 2,880 X1, 800 resolution Retina display MacBook Pro, if M3800 15-inch screen.

This is achievable because the new Dell started at only 4.5 pounds, the thickness of only 0.7 inches (18 mm). Match the 15-inch MacBook Pro size, but probably because Apple does not require its top-tier laptop "workplace" Dell is promoting as a world champion svelteness the M3800.


Regrettably, costly little else is acknowledged as M3800, as well as price and availability, more than a vague "later this year." Engadget reports, which will sustain up to 15GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD or included 1TB hard drive option, but we 'will have to wait and see if these rumors pan.

Motorola and Verizon announced three new robots, a 48-hour battery life

Admittedly, I did not really care too much about any declaration of the new Motorola Droid on Verizon upcoming Moto X and all other outstanding smartphone. Then I heard about the Droid Maxx with a 48-hour battery in the "normal" usage, I pricked up his ears.

I have quite a few resign yourself to the fact that I might get a modern smartphone through a day, but my days usually last from 4:15 am to 10:00 pm, is very rare, and even walked a whole day, without having to connect to a power source. According to the contract price of $ 299.99, the price will be Verizon's Droid Maxx's Aug. 20 launch data. It is cool, calm and collected of a 3,500 mAh battery (with a wireless charging function), but still with a 5-inch screen is only 8.5 mm thick. It also includes a 10-megapixel camera.

Apple describes how to verify the finger

Thursday in filing a patent application, Apple exposed that the technological backbone of fingerprint scan technology, the company may use their mobile phones, tablet PCs and laptops as part of the next invention of authentication system.

It is widely speculate iPhone 5S, is expected this fall, will include a fingerprint scanning technology.

Multi-factor authentication plan began to find online services of all ages, but most rely on a code is sent to the user's mobile phone. Apple through fingerprint biometric authentication, can be used independently or as part of two-factor authentication.

CrucialTec show before this year for mobile phones and a fingerprint scanner, seemingly Samsung has developed technologies.

The newly formed quick identity online (FIDO) Alliance, which focuses on strong authentication, lays out a finger sensor option, which is developing a procedure that will match. FIDO has been tracking with great interest the latest iPhone fingerprint scanners and other development, the Union will provide cloud-based service level biometric authentication pipes.

Apple's copyright application describes the use of touch-screen technology, the screen with pixel sensor and the electrodes, all these rumors are appropriate for use in the design of the iPhone 5S array. In the phone's screen, pixel sensor and an electrode understanding will define the fingerprint sensor area.

In the technique described in patent application through AuthenTec, Apple acquired the company in 2012 was $ 365 million U.S. dollars.

Authored by Dale Setlak's, AuthenTec's ex- vice president of explore and development applications.
Setlak lays out a finger and touch screen input sensor design. Setlak design does not require any input keys, but do not say, the fingerprint sensor can be used for transferable or fixed electronic devices.

Design Notes pixel array sensors and electrodes collect capacity. The design allows the selection of the measurement program, will allow the two-dimensional measurement, it is considered a more accurate reading of the user's fingerprint.

Setlak also wrote that the measuring electrode can be used to collect as a fingerprint person who reads function when not in use, touch-sensitive pixels dual liability.

Ultrathin and pill PCs to drive demand for skinny laborious drives

Interest in skinny and light-weight PCs can generate a healthy demand over successive few years for svelte laborious drives.

Worldwide shipments of 5.0- and 7.0-millimeter HDDs found mobile PCs can hit 133 million units by 2017, up from simply five million last year, per a cupboard space temporary from analytics firm IHS.

The new category of ultra slim HDDs are expected to displace the abundant thicker nine.5-mm drives that are presently in style in mobile devices. Shipments of the thicker nine.5-mm HDDs for mobile PCs are going to be worn to seventy nine million in 2017, down from 245 million units in 2012.

Demand for hybrid HDDs, which mixes associate SSD with older HDD technology, is additionally expected to extend.

"Use of those new skinny HDDs associated hybrid HDDs can proliferate as a result of these devices are smaller in size and have the aptitude to boost overall storage performance— vital variables in an age that emphasizes smaller type factors furthermore as optimum speed at reasonable costs," same Fang Zhang, storage analyst at IHS.

"Both the diluents HDDs together with solid-state hybrid drives (SSHD) may even begin finding acceptance in ultrathin PCs and pill PCs—two merchandise that currently largely use solid-state drives as their storage part. Laborious disks have lost market share to SSDs, which supply higher performance and may be a lot of simply wont to reach a diluent and lighter type issue crucial to tablets and ultrathin PCs."


This year, total SSD shipments can increase by nearly 90 p.c to 64.6 million units. Compare this to HDD, wherever shipments ar expected to say no five p.c to 545.8 million units. However, IHS believes that the new and diluents HDDs may facilitate stem losses of laborious disks, particularly if "their prices will fall to 10-15 pc of a pill or to 10-20 pc of associate ultrathin computer," IHS believes.

When patents shield Apple, area unit they okay?

I confess, I simply got AN iPhone 4S on Mon. I've never been a Fan boy, and that i haven't very crossed over: i am currently one in all those  that carries around 2 smart phones. My alternative phone may be a Droid Bionic. i like the iPhone, i actually do. In most ways that it's a superior piece of machinery to the Bionic, however i am deeply embedded with all the Google apps and therefore the iphone sucks at handling them.

Since I am not a true Fan boy, however several of {you area unit you're} (and conjointly some are Fan girls), I would like to raise you a question: What does one consider the injunction that choose Lucy Koh simply granted on behalf of Apple against Samsung? The explanation I raise is that such a lot of  you've got disdain for the patent-law system.

Granted, this is often not a computer code patent -- it is a style patent -- however Apple has and seeks to enforce several of each reasonably patent you\'ll be able to imagine. So, Fanboys and Fangirls, what does one say concerning technology patents currently that the one that you love Apple is being protected by them? Or area unit you within the Martinmas wherever Apple is concerned?

Microsoft confirms October 25th To launch for Windows 8

It's not an enormous surprise to readers of this diary, however Microsoft officers confirmed on September 17 that Windows eight can launch in big apple town on Gregorian calendar month twenty five.

Microsoft continues to be not sharing the precise venue, time or agenda for the launch. Microsoft officers did share that there'll be a Manhattan vacation pop-up store gap this fall, however declined to mention whether or not it'd be open in time for the Windows eight launch.

Microsoft is creating Windows eight -- and Surface RT, its initial pill running the Windows RT on ARM version of the merchandise -- out there commercially on October 26.


New York town has been Microsoft's chosen website for several of its recent Windows launches, as well as Windows XP, Windows visual image and Windows 7.

Does hardware matter within the cloud? Oracle is hoping therefore

Oracle is making ready to require on Amazon, Google and Microsoft with its own infrastructure-as-a-service technology, with its hardware destined to own a major role within the strategy.

Oracle chief government Larry Ellison discovered last week: "Our new infrastructure-as-a-service providing provides secure, virtualized, work out ANd storage services within the Oracle Cloud or — and this is often important — a standardized infrastructure service put in in our customer's datacentre as an Oracle-managed personal cloud."

Ellison's statement suggests Oracle needs its customers to use Oracle's code And hardware for an on-premise cloud and head to Oracle further for its public cloud. however this is often a tough trick to drag off, and one that cloud incumbents Amazon internet Services (AWS), Google and, to a lesser extent Microsoft, have all steered afar from.

Microsoft is making ready to undertake one thing the same as this with its revamped Windows Server and System Center code that connects to its own Windows Azure cloud however has steered afar from hardware.

Amazon internet Services, meanwhile, has partnered with on-premise cloud specialist Eucalyptus and free its own 'Storage Gateway' code to form it easier for businesses to maneuver knowledge between their kit and its cloud however, again, has stayed far from hardware. Google, finally, has steered far from the on-premise world and its Google work out Engine and Google App Engine services are a public-only play.

In fact, the sole company that involves mind as making an attempt an identical issue is power unit, that has been manufacturing 'Cloud Systems' for a few of years. These items of storage and work out connect on to HP's Open Stack-based in-development public cloud, alongside Amazon internet Services and Savvies.
Of course, none of those firms have the massive hardware business that Oracle has, following its acquisition of Sun — and a key a part of Oracle\'s strategy are to seek out a job for its high-end hardware within the cloud, that is commonly defined by immense amounts of trade goods hardware.
Crucial time for Oracle

Oracle's Open World event that kicks off on Sunday in city comes at an important time for the corporate.
It is facing competition from CRM competitors like Salesforce.com; new information technologies from firms like Mongo DB; hardware rivals like SAP; and, now, from a completely new breed of cloud firms. however Oracle navigates these waters can verify the company's likelihood of growing its share among younger, smaller firms.

Putting hardware at the center of its infrastructure-as-a-service technology is a method to form hardware relevant to the cloud — within the company's most up-to-date earnings unleash hardware sales lord tic once more and analysts advised that the high-end 'Exa' cloud systems were failing to fulfill internal sales expectations.

Oracle's gamble is whether or not it will demonstrate some reasonably performance or value advantage over competitors once individuals use AN all-Oracle cloud infrastructure. it is a message that must start up of Oracle Open World next week.

An all-Oracle stack
As yet, there's not abundant proof that a 'hybrid cloud' based mostly round the same hardware stack on either side has abundant worth. Yes, Oracle has tuned its 'Exa' vary of systems to figure well with its own code and, yes, it claims its public cloud runs on Oracle hardware. What does not add up is however it will claim that by employing an on-premise cloud paired with AN Oracle cloud firms can restore performance than if they were mistreatment a mixed stack internally and Oracle on the opposite aspect, or the other way around.

Along with this, Oracle includes a historical commitment to single abidance because the company believes this offers higher security. whereas this could be true, if you use a cloud model based mostly around single abidance, it's way more troublesome to require advantage of the economies of scale that permit firms like Amazon, Google and Microsoft systematically lower the value of their cloud services.
The live of the worth of the company's new cloud proposition are what quantity — or however very little — performance and prices amendment once you go from exchanging knowledge with Amazon to exchanging knowledge with Oracle.

IaaS is An strange space to Oracle. By launching a technology that sits isolated from its core experience of databases and company individual’s management technologies, there may well be an opportunity that the corporate is being captive by client demand instead of its own wider strategy.

"What i am seeing is that more and more vendors in one space of cloud are providing different varieties of service as a complement," David Bradshaw, a probe manager for code and services at IDC, says. "Their customers ar requesting it."

Will Google's advance PDKs shift blame for no-show humanoid updates?

One of the foremost widespread criticisms I hear leveled against humanoid smart phones and tablets is that obtaining software updates for specific hardware may be next to not possible. In fact, regarding the sole manner you'll be able to make certain of having the ability to run the newest humanoid software is to shop for a tool with the OS already put in.

Who's answerable for this update mess may be a matter for dialogue, however Google is setting up place an inspiration that ought to facilitate it deflect the responsibility for absent updates off from itself and towards the hardware manufacturers themselves.


At last week's I/O conference, Google declared that it might create obtainable a Platform Development Kit (PDK) for chipset vendors and alternative hardware developers to permit them to organize for and port new humanoid updates to their existing hardware lineup.

According to Victor-Marie Hugo Barra, director of product management for humanoid, the new PDK is "like associate degree SDK, except for humanoid hardware developers". The PDK can contain needed|the mandatory} ASCII text file and low-level API documentation required for hardware OEMs to port humanoid over to their hardware. Barra aforementioned that the PDK would be obtainable to hardware partners regarding 2 to 3 months before the platform unleash date for all future humanoid versions.

"PDK allows humanoid OEMs and chipset manufacturers to introduce in parallel with Google," says Barra, "and ensures the newest humanoid unleash may be well-optimized for his or her hardware".

This sort of cooperation between Google and therefore the hardware manufacturers is long due as a result of it's clear that the prevailing system wasn't operating.

An example of however badly broken the prevailing system is comes within the style of the Motorola Droid RAZR. once this telephone was discharged eight months past it absolutely was discovered that it ran humanoid version a pair of.3.6 "Gingerbread" despite being unveiled  on the precise same day because the Galaxy Nexus was discharged, a telephone powered  by the then new humanoid 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich". Then last week, whereas Google was showing off humanoid 4.1 "Jelly Bean" at the I/O conference, Motorola -- an organization that Google recently no inheritable  -- late discharged associate degree humanoid four.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" update for the Droid RAZR.

It remains to be seen whether or not the introduction of a PDK can truly encourage hardware manufacturers to supply support for the newest version of humanoid sooner and to additional hardware. We'll need to wait till consequent major humanoid unleash to visualize if it truly works. However, cathartic the PDK can enable Google to purpose the finger of blame at the OEMs once quizzed on why updates for a selected telephone are not forthcoming.

This news comes shortly once Microsoft declared that its coming incarnation of Windows Phone -- Windows Phone eight -- would not be compatible with any existing Windows Phone seven’s hardware.


The only company that appears to own the difficulty of Smartphone updates discovered is Apple, that makes updates obtainable to supported hardware mechanically as presently as they're obtainable and permits finish users to put in them at their leisure.

One in 5 hacked logins match Microsoft Accounts updates currently

Around twenty % of the logins found on lists of compromised credentials match those of Microsoft Accounts as a result of customers victimization constant login details across quite one service, the corporate has aforementioned.

The lists area unit circulated by organizations and hackers within the wake of attacks on third-party service suppliers.
People re-use passwords and login details across services from totally different suppliers, Microsoft Account cluster manager Eric Doer noted in an exceedingly journal post on Sunday. That applies means if one set of logins is compromised, different accounts area unit in danger.

"These attacks shine a spotlight on the core issue — folks apply passwords between totally different websites" aforementioned actor, speaking once the Yahoo breach last week that exposed four hundred,000 user details. "On average, we have a tendency to see prospering parole matches of around twenty % of matching usernames."

Doer unconcealed the figure in an exceedingly run-down of some Microsoft Account security practices, meant to reassure customers once the Yahoo hack. Microsoft Account may be a single sign-on tool for Microsoft services like Sky Drive, Hotmail, Xbox and traveler.

Comparing Lists
Microsoft often gets lists of compromised third-party login details from ISPs, enforcement and vendors, further as from lists revealed on the web by hackers, consistent with Doer. This data is checked against Microsoft login details victimization an automatic method to examine for any overlap. whereas twenty % is that the average, in one recent breach it absolutely was solely 4.5 percent, said Doer.

After a hack attack on another supplier, Microsoft monitors its user accounts to envision if they\'re getting used to send spam. If it sees signs of criminal activity, it suspends the account, and therefore the affected client has got to undergo AN account recovery method before having the ability to log in once more.

If Microsoft suspects, however isn't sure, that there has been a breach, it i'll raise customers to reset their passwords.

The company conjointly uses activity watching technology like that utilized by banks to log patterns of access and placement, to envision if AN tried login is suspicious. The technology will block the try, or raise a further identity question to come to a decision whether or not to grant access. 

Tightening Security
The Microsoft Account team is functioning on modification up security, Doer said. this 16-character limit on parole length is about to extend, to form brute force attacks harder, as an example. However, Microsoft has issues creating passwords longer as a result of its system, he noted.

"Unfortunately, for historical reasons, the parole validation logic is redistributed across totally different merchandise, therefore it is a larger modification than it ought to be and takes longer to induce to plug," Doer aforementioned.

Yahoo, Gmail, Hushmail, Yandex and MyOperaMail all permit pass code lengths of thirty characters, mutually Microsoft account holder, MondayBlues, noted in an exceedingly comment.

Doer noted that individuals victimization Sky Drive device-synchronization package and shopping for merchandise on Xbox.com area unit needed to use two-factor authentication. Microsoft is functioning on implementing this security live in additional merchandise and services, he said, however didn't specify that.
