It would seem so, at least according to reports from some users who have purchased the device Liberostore (the proposal was that we reviewed, without any responsibility) and that, after almost a month after 'order still fail to get news on the status of your shipment, or of any reimbursement.
The "victims", in particular, complain feedback from the dealer often conflicting with each other, the impossibility of having precise answers on the order for the Samsung Galaxy S3. As was the case with the case involving the Samsung Galaxy S3 Euronet Computer, we may always enjoy the benefit of the doubt, at least until the counterparty will not tell her, without prejudice to what is the discomfort of different users, who do not yet know the a lot of expense.

Nokia has renamed his cards and made ​​them cross-platform | New Technology

Steven Sinofsky blew presentation from "read my blog yet!"

Shortly after Steven Sinofsky was released at Microsoft, the talk is about him, as expected, louder and louder. Now, rumors have surfaced showing that Sinofsky, president of Windows earlier, has visited several times not to presentations and instead has had to explain, but people should read his blog.
Steven Sinofsky dismissal had his reasons

Even if for most people to dismiss Sinofsky was a surprise, Microsoft must have something in mind yes. As can be seen now is rumors, Sinofsky was probably never a real "team player". Instead, he had to burst even rows presentations and events on the ground that the people need only read his blog, they want updates.

Of course this is not behavior that may occur with an international company. On the contrary, because it is in the phase where is the U.S. company just bad review is like poison. He also is said to have events always leave earlier than colleagues. "Short answer questions, and he was gone." Says a former employee Sinofskys.
Scott Forstall & Steven Sinofsky

Of interest is that both Forstall, who worked at Apple, and Sinofsky were released at the same time. Remains to be seen whether or not other people into your business like behaviors in the day. If it did, we would see in the future a lot of layoffs.

Apple significantly reduce the cost of their devices in Russia

In addition to all kinds of lawsuits, Apple is still at least one big problem - a huge gray market devices in Russia. To combat the gray market, the Cupertino-based company has agreed to open a new store with a connected.Renowned analyst Eldar Murtazin wrote that "Apple did a trick that has remained outside the attention of buyers," namely, the prices of many products Apple suddenly became comparable to those in Europe. For example, in Finland, MacBook Air c 64GB (entry-level) is worth 1099 euros, in Germany it costs 1049 euros (price differences due to different tax rates.) In Russia, this model can be purchased now from 35 000, according to a blog Mobile-review.
Falling prices affected not only laptops, cheaper phones, but the tablets have not yet started to sell cheaper. Apple partner companies in Russia are afraid to speak out about the price drop, not to drop the premium brand status and their sales, in addition, there is quite a significant number of purchases at the old prices. Eldar Murtazin reports that the cost of a new smartphone iPhone 5 in Russia will begin with 26-27 thousand rubles, and this is a serious blow to the gray market, as the wholesale price of this device outside of Russia (Hong Kong, USA) - $ 900.

Niche "second" camera for the enthusiast or a single camera for those who need a compact, but also valuable picture quality continues to require podpitki.I her company took complete compact with high-aperture optics. Today's test will be devoted to the two most important (along with Sony RX100) novelties in this segment, similar in characteristics and directly competing with each other, - Samsung EX2F and

 Panasonic Lumix LX7.

For Samsung EX2F - the second in a series of high-luminosity incarnation compacts follower of last year, a very successful model EX1. At Panasonic LX-series story is more serious: the first camera in this series, reminiscent LX7 is very remote, came out in 2005, the year, and the previous model, LX5 - in 2010, when we were with her in detail and reviewed. No matter how the story that at this stage of Panasonic and Samsung have released a very similar cameras: the optical characteristics to the layout decisions, but with its own individual characteristics, of course. Panasonic different characteristic of the Japanese company focusing on video and nano-coated optics, Samsung released a swivel screen, built-in Wi-Fi and a large number of post-processing effects.

Moscow average price - 15 100 rubles. EX2F, despite close to LX7 characteristics, is much cheaper, to talk about any over-pricing is not necessary, Samsung is the favorite looks, including in the fight against other close competitors (Fujifilm X10, Canon PowerShot S110, Olympus XZ-2, Sony RX100).

Design and construction

Be afoot trend with a variety of colors, shades and shapes in this case bypassed Panasonic and Samsung side: both cameras are okay and very similar design in black with a slightly raised on the front of the lens and a similar set of functional elements.
Panasonic Lumix LX7 a little more concise and refined, although it could well create a sense of sticker Samsung EX2F, which we have failed to separate from the camera body.
Both models are made of metal, which affects their weight. 298 g for compacts (Panasonic) and 300 g (Samsung) - quite a lot, so weigh bezzerkalki mediocre, but it is a reasonable sacrifice for the opportunity to deal with the thing that produces reliable, impressive impression.
Both cameras, if you really want, you can put into the pocket and is completely free - in a jacket pocket, which can be useful when you walk in places where the idea of ​​"shine" major appliances not seem so much reasonable. In this case, Panasonic Lumix LX7 by eliminating the rotary screen and a smaller ledge to the right hand grip is noticeably thinner, camera dimensions - 111 x 67 x 46 mm. Samsung EX2F - 112 x 62 x 29 mm. While in the hand, despite the difference in the thickness and size of the projection, cameras are about the same: not that great, but pretty well, I note that EX2F better shutter button is located at a more convenient location for the index finger.
Functional elements of the Panasonic Lumix LX7. The front panel is LED lighting and autofocus lens, traditionally Series ringed by two switches: the aspect ratio and the aperture. From above we see a pop-up flash with a lever of her forced open, hot shoe, strereomikrofon, the shutter latch zoom, video recording button, mode dial and switch. The left edge is free of elements on the right is covered with a lid and HDMI-USB-connector. Underneath is the memory card slot and battery, as well as thread for tripod, which unexpectedly far removed from the battery compartment, and thus access to it when mounted on a tripod does not overlap - infrequent care about the user amateur camera. On the rear panel is a fixed screen, five-way joystick with multifunctional buttons, key lock focus / exposure, play, call the quick menu, adjusting for the display, and the selector dial and brand switch, activating the built-in neutral density filter.
Functional elements of Samsung EX2F. On the front panel there is a selector dial, AF-assist light and a lens with twist-off ring, provide a record cover. At the top end: the flash and the lever to activate it, a hot shoe, stereo microphone, power button, shutter button with the zoom tab, two selectors: drive modes / and bracketing modes. Again, the left edge is free of functional elements on the right are the same two interfaces: HDMI and USB. Bottom - the battery compartment and memory card with the overlapping access them threaded tripod. On the rear panel: turning 270 degrees vertical and 180 degrees horizontal screen, five-way navigation joystick with a rotating ring around the perimeter of the keys start movie recording, lock focus / exposure, the menu, playback, delete images and feature button.
The build quality of both cameras is not satisfactory - not only because of the metal case, but also because of the lack of any erasures at the "cutting of" building. Only at Samsung EX2F not really like swivel screen, jarring at maximum deflection angles, but LX7 rotary screen and does not have that record this deficiency plus her rivals fail.

Interface and control

The control system is very similar to the two cameras: analog mode selector, to press the selector dial, the five-way joystick, made by the button to activate the video. Differences - in detail. At Samsung EX2F - an additional selector drive modes, additional function keys, turning once drive around navigation button. All this makes the control of the camera enough variability, requiring a minimum number of moves to change the settings, but there are drawbacks - for example, sensitivity adjustment or change of focus points required to access quick menu.
Panasonic Lumix LX7 follows the tradition of previous cameras in this series, having not just the most common location of controls: the analog switches made type control focus, adjust the aspect ratio (not the necessary education, in my opinion) in the number of new - a very comfortable setting ring around the lens aperture and tab controls manual focus, in combination - the button to activate the neutral density filter. Settings made on the external keys, unlike Samsung EX2F, more logical. In this LX7 inferior in implementing quick menu and the location button is pressed.
Interface both chambers familiar from previous models of Panasonic lines and Samsung: think, for example, bezzerkalki G5 and NX20.
At Panasonic laconic, almost monochrome menus classic image to navigate through them, and not the best quick menu, which requires mandatory horizontal scrolling to access the next item. The total number of settings is much higher than that of EX2F - LX7 general impression of a more "serious" machine.
Samsung issued a colorful and friendly to amateur. Serious face here no one does, but excessive pomp and Korean is not observed, despite the fact that almost all - illustrated, and hints of continuous climb on the screen (this can be disabled). It's great to make a quick menu.
Each camera its advantages and drawbacks, the management LX7 seems a little more thoughtful and intuitive, but the overall experience of using EX2F, perhaps the leading - by rotating the screen.

Functionality

In this section we talk about the cameras. Despite the ideological proximity, each of them has a number of unique features that require attention.
Panasonic Lumix A7
Panasonic CD is equipped with 1/1, 7 "-matrix resolution of 10.1 megapixels, a processor of the latest generation Venus Engine VII FHD - and this bunch, as in the case of its predecessor, LX5, is very fast. Different camera and instant start - if you remember to remove the cover, it will be spent to activate less than a second. Shutter lag is minimal as well, RAW recording to the memory card does not cause LX7 difficulties, does not interfere with, the burst speed when using a mechanical shutter and fixed AF is 11 frames per second, the duration of the series is identical. When using servo AF speed burst shooting - 5 frames per second. The minimum shutter speed - 1/4000, very good for a compact.
To use the contrast AF sensor with 23 points - very fast and sufficient (for contrast system) precision; compete for the title of "world's fastest" with bezzerkalkami Nikon, Olympus, or by their own brethren from Panasonic it can not, but this is a very compact serious level, in any case. For guidance in the manual focus mode is responsible dorsal tongue, combined with a switch the ND filter - a very convenient way.
Screen Panasonic Lumix LX7 not bad, but not much more: TFT, 3-inch, 920,000 dots, excellent brightness and viewing angles, but there is a layer of air between the glass and the screen, which leads to a glare in the sun. And next to the Samsung screen looks worse now only because of the inability to rotate it, it is not superfluous for any camera - but especially for a camera without a viewfinder.
Built-in flash pops straight up, do not take up much space, has a working number 8.5 and Red-eye reduction. There is a hot shoe for external flash or other, even more important accessories like a viewfinder, which the two heroines of today's tests were deprived of the benefit dimensions. The lens branded Mega OIS optical stabilization
ND filter off
ND filter is on
Panasonic Lumix LX7 has the soul of a very serious opportunity to work with image - both in post-processing software, and with the still shot. The latter is responsible for the camera embedded in neutral density filter, which is becoming more common in the amateur segment (see Fujifilm X100) tool element of a professional photographer, allowing to achieve a more even distribution of light and shadow on the frame (that is, roughly speaking, the sky glare, getting normally proeksponirovanny house). To manage this feature even given an individual control. In EX2F also integrated filter, but it can only be activated from the menu - and yes, this way seems to me to be more correct, and it is protected from accidental activation, and more conscious action - being turned on, it displays a small icon in the bottom of the screen, and it is quite can not be overlooked.
Post-processing capabilities include a mandatory program: adjust color «My Color», as well as a set of filters, with each generation Lumix increasingly expanding. Examples of images with different filters can see above.
Scene modes are not as interesting as the Panasonic Lumix G5, for example, but they should pay special attention, if only because it is in this section are hidden things such as automatic gluing panoramas, gluing HDR and 3D-shooting.

Video.

 Here LX7 will handicap not only her opponent on this test, and all close to the Compact, but also many bezzerkalkam and SLRs. At least on the net performance: FullHD, 60 frames per second progressive scan, AVCHD as a container, stereo, fully manual settings. Yes, matrix optics and fail to achieve high image thoroughbred cameras, but the impressive capabilities - video LX7 is not ashamed to write.

Samsung E2
Compact from Samsung is equipped with a matrix of the same, as the Lumix LX7, size 1/1, 7'', but a higher resolution - 12.4 megapixels. What kind of processor used EX2F, not reported, but its capabilities are slightly lower than those of LX7; at least, the camera turns slower and much slower working with RAW-files. Yes, at this time you can continue to shoot, but to switch to a different mode or change the parameters impossible. The same problems we saw in bezzerkalkah Samsung NX-series. Burst speed - up to 10 frames per second, the duration of a series of identical, after taking a series of chamber for three to four seconds processes the images. Continuous shooting at any speed in RAW format is not possible, unfortunately. I note the unusual feature "pre-recording": the camera records 10 frames at half-pressed, and when you complete it, "cashes" series, thus helping to avoid missing something important - something like we saw on the Nikon 1, only in a more detailed form . Interesting abilities.
EX2F contrast AF is very fast, at the level of rivals, and quite accurately, serious issues have arisen. But in tracking mode it behaves much weaker. Also not as convenient built control manual focus - using any of the selector, but with the need to necessarily go through the menu to adjust the focus, to the same auto focus is not completely switched off after the transition between modes, or go to the menu the camera can still tried to clean herself. To shoot close-up should include macro mode, as well as on the LX7.
Screen Samsung EX2F inferior LX7 display resolution (614,000 pixels versus 920,000), is diagonal (although with less visual framework around it seem larger), is not free from the air gap, making it unstable to glare, but superior competitor in brightness . And most importantly, it is turning - it's a big plus.
Flash, pop-up just straight up, has a slightly smaller number of workers 7.8, struggling with red eye and generally quite tolerably uncomplicated to perform its duties. Hot shoe is here. Along with optical stabilizer works and electronic, but to say that it gives a great advantage over the LX7, I can not.
ND filter off
ND filter is on
About the presence on board EX2F built-in ND filter I have said above. To control them no special button on the case, but it is just about as effective.
And for added functionality, with EX2F difficult to argue. First, there is a Wi-Fi-module and, more importantly, a whole arsenal of different ways to use it, taking over from bezzerkalok NX. To control them, a separate regime imposed, including on the selector. MobileLink allows you to transfer data directly to your smartphone, this feature can be activated directly by pressing the right side of the navigation button, and, in my opinion, to bring them to her such an important control is unnecessary. Remote Viewfinder for downloading the relevant application for a smartphone can use the latter as a viewfinder, which is clear from the name of the function (a very handy thing for shooting group portraits, for example). Sending pictures and videos to social networks, as well as sending e-mail - the most obvious ways to use Wi-Fi in the chamber and it is important to note that the camera is sold in Russia, is not only the expected Facebook, Picasa, Youtube and Photobucket, but the application for VKontakte. Skydrive allows you to forward pictures in the "cloud" from Microsoft. Auto-copy allows you to automatically find the camera home network to copy images from it to your home PC. TV Link - Wireless can view pictures and videos from the camera to the TV. To work with the network claims to EX2F no problem, feel the same as you would with an older model NX20

All scene modes and various post-processing effects are in one menu, navigation which may be the same as for the mode Wi-Fi, with a matrix of icons, and a dedicated quick menu. In any case, is somewhat cumbersome, too many features, but you can get used. Opportunities themselves also cause mixed feelings.
If for scene modes, automatic gluing and gluing panoramas HDR (not customizable, too active, so that at times inadequate outstanding image) matters not, the post-processing effects chosen rather strange.
In addition to the original "magic frame", is to include a frame made in the already painted pattern, we see here the separate image (gluing two or three shots in one), the "Picture in Picture", the creation of 'creative video "(slide show of several photos under the template music), as well as some unique effects, for some reason, on the picture with uncomplicated animation (which is recorded as a video in MP4 VGA-resolution as well as the actual end-JPEG). This is very unusual and original, but as far as the customer needs - a huge issue.
However, there are "normal" filters, they are available through the quick menu when shooting in standard mode.

Video.

 Nothing extraordinary here Samsung does not show: FullHD, 30 frames per second, MP4, stereo sound, the possibility of laying a variety of filters, from manual settings - only exposure compensation. But you can shoot slow-motion video at up to 240 frames per second. But in general there EX2F its the competitor is inferior.

Photo quality

On abilities of its optics both cameras just been selected for joint testing. This is the most compact high-aperture lenses to date. Aperture ratio here is not a means to the shallow depth of field, and compensation of the small size of the matrix, anti-noise at high sensitivities by reducing the need for scoring ISO in the dark. Optical characteristics of the lens Panasonic Lumix LX7: f = 4,7-17,7 mm (35 mm equivalent 24-90 mm) with F1 ,4-2, 3. Lens Samsung EX2F: f = 5,2-17,2 mm (35 mm equivalent 24-80 mm) with F1 ,4-2, 7. We see that the superiority in optical zoom (with a digital Panasonic, unlike Samsung, no), and the luminosity is slightly on the side of LX7. Both cameras are not very big zoom: what to do, something for intensity, combined with a compact, you have to sacrifice. It is important that he is there, and the manufacturer did not put optics with a fixed focal length.
The optical properties of the two lenses are very similar: they have a uniform and very decent sharpness across the frame surface, sufficient for its matrices resolution (with which, for example, there was confusion at the recent Sony RX100 - but here and the resolution is much lower), a sufficiently clear picture on open to the limit diaphragm. Samsung have slightly more pronounced spatial distortion at wide angle, the Panasonic noticeable chromatic aberration. Samsung is holding a little better backlight.
Both cameras have a powerful auto mode, the LX7 will come with a color management, and connectivity modes including if necessary corporate "Intelligent Resolution" (which is able to remove the extra blurring the image), enable HDR mode when necessary and pasting a picture of a few with different exposures at night scenes, and you can activate a neutral density filter. The possibility of including filters limit interference in the work of the photographer auto mode Samsung EX2F, it is more open. I note that on both cameras Auto mode (and the program mode) always leaves the aperture open - even on general plans in good light, with LX7 this feature is especially strong.
Metering works more honestly Panasonic Lumix LX7, requiring less intervention with exposure compensation or manual input ekspopary - Samsung EX2F «love» peresvechivat shadow and after that, and highlights. Automatic detection of white balance in difficult conditions frustrating both chambers, but in different ways: if LX7 has shown a tendency to care in yellowness, then EX2F tends to green. It is easy to see on the tests ISO, they are made with an automatic metering BB.
The dynamic range of both cameras can not boast depth, but for the class is acceptable - with slightly better impression Samsung, although showing higher signification tendency to "whiten" the shadows. I note quite a good detail of both chambers in the average resolution at low ISO, which does not come into play denoising - frames are quite nice, with a minimum of "soap". Although it is worth, of course, make allowances, again, to the class: with SLR cameras and bezzerkalkami these machines to compete in this respect can not, but we are talking in this case about the pocket models. The total number of points, of course, leads Samsung, which is not much effect on the overall impression of the pictures, but allows a little more free crop.
More natural color reproduction seemed to me at the Samsung, Panasonic provides default coldish color.

Despite the aperture optics, under complex lighting conditions do without scoring sensitivity even impossible. So the behavior of cells at high ISO is still an important factor. And here a little better LX7 manifests itself through less aggressive shumodava - after ISO 800 images on both cameras to be not the most precise, but the grain Panasonic looks a little nicer than a powerful "soaping» Samsung. While, on the other hand, anyone that lovelier.

 Battery 

Both cameras show, even expected, but sad time. Due to a more capacious battery (1250 mAh) LX7 able to hold out a little longer - about 270-290 shots. Samsung EX2F with battery 1050 mAh enough for 230-240 shots. This is a marked lack of compact cameras, the limiting factor. But Samsung is struggling with it the original way, which until then we have seen in Sony RX100. Instead of the classic single charger EX2F predlagaetcya recharged via microUSB-port, which, in turn, when taken with an external battery (powerbank) allows you to recharge the camera anywhere. I think that for such solutions lies the future compacts to it will gradually move all.
Opinion Mail.Ru
Unambiguous winner of the shootout was expected to reveal easy: each camera has its own advantages, which rival anything very difficult to oppose. Panasonic Lumix LX7, being smaller in size and, as a result, easily placed in the pocket, while delivering the best performance on the lens, the less aggressive shumodavom, convenient control manual focus and better metering. LX7 also greatly benefit in the video. At Samsung EX2F advantages: turning AMOLED-screen, built-in Wi-Fi, plenty of effects post-processing. The most important thing at this point advantage - the price of a quarter lower (15 000 to 20 000). Accordingly, EX2F seriously wins in the most important to the buyer a combination of "price-functionality", which will provide good camera sales.
As for the whole class of high-transmission compacts on the example of two individual models, talk about the attack on the position and the mirrorless SLR cameras with interchangeable lenses, of course, is not necessary. This is far from ideal camera unable to meet a picky enthusiast Images have quality, and many fans will miss three times zoom - although the camera with a big zoom, certainly, will not be and the quality pictures, and can not boast aperture for not pulling up ISO at dusk. These cameras are a compromise, with the top echelon of the compact, which in the future will replace the small cameras with even larger matrices. The first-born of this segment in the current year presented Sony: speech and the "inch» RX100, and the full-frame RX1. At the moment and Panasonic Lumix LX7, and Samsung EX2F still valid, but in the near future, companies should think about the combination of high-aperture optics with a large scale - not an easy task, but a necessary one. Needs grow.

After a kernel exploit was subjected to the "fail"break a chick jailbreak with apples should be iPhone 5 possible where there is a serious problem in this regard: only users of a dev account at Apple gain access to protected source code, so that the mass without a chick jailbreak will be. For this reason the iOS hackers involved primarily a untethered jailbreak, which however should be prepared with best certainty so that the potential danger fades, that Apple gap the previously obtained with an update.

What equipment it can be provided with a jailbreak, is not known. iPhone's A4 processor, so the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS have access now to an iOS 6 jailbreak. If and when the iPhone 4S, iPad 3 and iPad 2 with an update comes along, not stressed in this context. So far, the speeches were always from Apple's new smartphone of the sixth generation.

Russian authorities will be able to control the Internet



The Russian government has approved a rule to block access to prohibited Internet resources. In contrast to the original version of the rules, in the final version of the document is not a ban on Internet censorship and blocking of access to legitimate sites.
Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree on the establishment of a unified register of Internet sites to which access should be prohibited. The document will come into effect on November 1.
It compared with a previously prepared Minkomsvyazi project disappeared several liberal points. The draft document, for example, spoke of the requirements of non-authorized agencies to site owners and hosting providers for preliminary approval of their published material (ie, not permitted Internet censorship). Now this item is missing.
In addition, previously said about the inadmissibility of restrictions on access to resources, which are not prohibited by law. For example, it would be impossible to block access to the entire YouTube or Livejournal page for one user. Now the chance of the authorities there.
Denying access to Internet resources can be installed on either a court or competent authorities (in some cases). For example, the CPS may, without a court decision to block sites that promote suicide and telling how they have occurred and Gosnarkokontrol - sites with promoting drugs, the methods of preparation and places possible acquisition.
After receiving the decision of the authorized body of the need to ban the site should Roskomnadzor within days to determine its hosting provider, send a notice to the site and to register. If after 3 days of access to the information gap will still be open, Roskomnadzor makes the registry a network address resource, and service providers must be within days to block access to it.

Video: Light and compact DVR JIO DV-301

Before us is a small, very light, compact video recorder in a neat plastic case - JIO DV-301. The front panel peephole camera with a 1.3 megapixel camera and the ability to shoot in HD or even FullHD quality. LEDs on the sides. Lights activated by briefly pressing the power button on the right side. There is a slot for memory cards up to 32 gigabytes. At the top end, and HDMI-out connector mini-USB. The first is useful to remove the video from the device directly to the TV, and the second is needed to connect to a power outlet or computer. The back panel is mainly engaged in the LCD-display diagonal of 2.7 inches. On each side - two rows of keys.
In the presence of the memory card in the device starts recording immediately turned into the cigarette lighter. Stop or restart it by pressing the OK key. Press the "M" switch modes: photo, video, or playback. After selecting the desired mode, configure it on your own. For this is the middle button in the left lane. Photo mode can, for example, to choose the level of quality, image resolution, the level of ISO, color and so on. In the video we also have the opportunity to select the image resolution from QVGA up to FullHD. True, the highest resolution is achieved by interpolation, which is a manufacturer and does not hide. But at 720p camera shoots without interpolation. For the convenience of finding the right pieces can be shot in short cycles of 1, 2 or 3 minutes. You can manually adjust the exposure: a dark object - two stages, too light - 2. At the request of the motion sensor is activated. Sound recording, date and time stamp, the sound of buttons - all activated as needed. The desired file with a single click can be protected from being overwritten.
Recorder attached quite comfortably. Sucker is well fixed on the glass. There are two mounting options registrar: screw and magnetic. You can then align the device with the two rotary mechanisms. Better to keep the device connected to the cigarette lighter. Standalone battery recorder works, but not for long: about half an hour. As for the video quality, the picture is quite clear on the output, number of machines to distinguish if there is lights, the quality is good and at night. Viewing angle of 120 degrees is enough to fix the picture on the roadway. Written video in AVI. For example, a 3-minute piece, shot in the highest quality weighs 470 MB. As the capacity of the card the old files are replaced with new ones. The device is quite balanced and good value for money in 2690 rubles more than justified.

iPhone 5 could not stop Samsung

The new iPhone 5 for all its innovation, could greatly impress potential buyers. In any case, the main sales of a competing product - Samsung Galaxy S III after the announcement of the new iPhone is not only not decreased, but increased.

"I was shocked by the increase in sales and thought, what the hell is going on?" - Said in an interview with a representative of Samsung. While Kevin Pekinhem not give specific figures.
Recall that before the announcement of the iPhone 5 Implementation of Samsung devices for the first time in the history of exceeding sales of smart phones Apple. Then analysts attribute this to the loss of interest in the old model to the new presentation.In its advertising Korean company has repeatedly drawn the attention of potential customers to the benefits of its flagship smartphone before the iPhone 5. First, in a scandalous poster "does not need to be a genius," and then in television advertising, where people standing in line for the new iPhone had hoped that Apple sells Galaxy S III features in the next generation iPhone, as iPhone 5 they do not exist.
By the way, iPhone 5 not only disappoint some buyers, but also investors. After the announcement of iPhone 5 Apple value per share decreased from 702 to 604 dollars. Thus, the market value of the company for the month decreased by about 12%.

Opinion Mail.Ru on Alienware M17x r3: powerful game "Alien"

Impressions of the Dell Alienware M17x laptop were only positive. Minor flaws in the form of a glossy screen and the absence of normal autonomy could not spoil the experience. This notebook is designed for home to play it in the game, so portability require him, at least, has no meaning. With its main objective laptop copes fine. It can play all the coolest games at the moment, which means that the Alienware M17x gaming success as a good model. Great disorder, however, for those who like games will be his price, it is from 80 thousand to 100 thousand rubles, depending on the configuration. At the same time, build a desktop with similar characteristics can be for far less money. So, there could solve customers have a stylish cool and expensive laptop or a great gaming desktop.
For the opportunity to play on a laptop in Skyrim and Crisis 2 should thank Intel Core i7 processor and graphics card NVIDIA GTX 580M. And taking into account that a huge screen in a laptop, you can imagine that the thrill of the game as pleasant, that one can get on a laptop. Happy and the large number of ports, because it means that the laptop can be used not only for games, but as a media center.

Missle for electricity

Ever question what it might be prefer to go without electricity, aside from the odd five-minute energy cut? Request Boeing - the firm is focusing on a missile that may completely eliminate all your electronics.

Boeing are developing what's named the Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project (Champion) - a missile that jams targets underneath with microwaves which could remove everything electrical, out of your coveted iPad to critical city energy systems.

The aircraft and defense company lately examined Champion in the Utah Make sure Training Range within the Western Utah Desert. The very first target, a 2-storey building filled with computer systems built-in the number, was full of computer systems. After being hit having a high-powered microwave pulse, each and every PC died - as did all of the television cameras established to record the experiment.

“This technology marks a brand new era in modern-day warfare,” stated Keith Coleman, Champion program manager for Boeing Phantom Works. “In the long run, fraxel treatments might be accustomed to render an enemy’s electronic and knowledge systems useless before the very first troops or aircraft arrive.”

They hopes this type of missile might be utilized in warfare not just to disrupt critical electronic system, but to result in such damage with little if any collateral damage - a thing that can become an enormous leap in modern non-lethal warfare.

Presently, the multi-year project is not even close to being appropriate for military use

ipad mini review

Here it is, Apple's new iPad mini. As you can see, it's certainly mini than the frequent iPad, although at 7.9 inches wide it's not as mini as you'd anticipate - in comparison to something like the Nexus 7, it does experience more significant in your arms, though the slimness of the item seems to make up for a larger place. To be obvious, it's an amazingly slim and mild style.

Like most The apple company items, the develop of mini sized item is fantastic, quickly exceeding the competitors available on the industry. By evaluation, the Nexus 7 and Flame HD experience like toys and games. Other producers are going to have to up their activity with this item in city. It's just a stunning distinction in components and solidness.

So it's like an iPad... just mini.

The slimness and quality of the covering cannot be over-stated. It seems as high-end as the new iPhone, but even clearer in the side - like a piece of strong metal. The chamfered sides existing on the iPhone 5 have been ongoing here, as well as the all-black therapy seen on the newest phone. The show on the mini looks amazingly distinct, and even though the quality is reduced than the 3rd and 4th creation full-size iPad, it doesn't instantly seem like a 1024 x 768 show. The ipad mini, 7.9-inch place certainly allows press the p.

Inside the item is an A5 CPU, which might be a cause for issue considering the point that it's most definitely a last creation processor (actually, two years old now thanks to the A6X). Performance on the item, however, indicates that it will do just fantastic with the existing plants of iPad application. Programs I tried out seemed to run as snappily as anything on the 3rd creation iPad. Headings like Real Rushing 2 took a little bit of your energy and energy to start up, but activity play was fantastic. My doubt is that less p to force around on-screen creates for faster performance overall.

One thing that's really exciting to observe is that the laptop key pad seems a little bit more squished when you're using it in symbol, but a little more relaxed in scenery (at first impact at least). Clocking in at somewhere between the full-sized iPad and the iPhone, for big arms like my own it seems like almost the most ideal dimension, though the key size could take a position to be turned up a little for symbol entering.

We're in the procedure of investing even a longer period with the item and getting movie, so keep it updated here for more impressions!

Software launch indicates samsung could soon launch a smart phone running Tizen

Tizen 2.0, the open-source smartphone os, is now available as an leader release with an associated with Application Growth Kit (SDK), the Tizen venture has declared. The discharge gives support to gossips that venture member samsung Gadgets is preparing to release a edition of its Universe S3 smartphone operating Tizen instead of Google Android managing program.

The release is targeted at designers who can activate with new functions and offer reviews in "the final stages" of Tizen's development, the Tizen Technical Guiding Team declared on its blog.

Tizen is a Linux-based open-source os and software foundation supported by Samsung, Apple and other providers. Program programs are suitable for use in gadgets such as cellular phones, pills, laptops, in-vehicle infotainment gadgets, and smart TVs.

The newest value release shows that Tizen is getting nearer to a useful product, and comes two several weeks after the Wi-Fi Partnership released a papers validating that a samsung smartphone named the "GT-I9300_TIZEN" had approved Wi-Fi interoperability examining, according to a copy of the papers in Google storage cache. GT-i9300 is the model name samsung gives to Universe S3 cellular phones, all of which currently run Android managing program, showing that New samsung might be operating on a Universe S3 edition that operates Tizen.

Samsung did not instantly thoughts on its plans for Tizen, and the Wi-Fi Partnership document has been customized since its initial book, now record the smartphone as the GT-I9300Z).

The Tizen 2.0 leader release provides designers with the Tizen kernel, device individuals, middleware subsystems, and Web APIs, necessary to create future Tizen-compliant software, according to the resource value release page.

The newest release for instance contributes advanced HTML5 functions such as video subtitles and sayings and a battery position application development interface, the steering group had written. A multi-process Webkit2-based Web Playback was also included to offer better security and stability for Web programs, the team declared among other upgrades.

The steering group is preparing to add extra elements in the arriving several weeks and is preparing to create extra upgrades to the Tizen OS "over the arriving months" depending on reviews from designers. The leader 2.0 resource value release follows a review release of the OS resource value last Jan.

Analysts expect that samsung, one of the biggest backers of the venture, will release a Tizen centered smartphone at the end of this season or at the beginning of next season. It is more likely, though, that samsung will release a Tizen cellular phone in beginning 2013, said Francisco Jeronimo, research administrator at IDC. "Tizen won't give them huge revenue," said Jeronimo, "and New samsung needs to pay attention to the Universe S3 now to contest with the iPhone 5."

The end-of-year holidays, the most important revenue period for cell cellular phone producers such as New samsung and Apple, is arriving up, he said. "Samsung needs to pay attention to its current profile before Christmas."

The first products operating Tizen will probably be released beginning next season, said specialist He Blaber of CCS Understanding. Tizen is a ideal os for New samsung, he said. The cell cellular phone producer is fast becoming a foundation company and it is extremely unwanted for a big player like that to depend so much on Google Android managing program os as it does now, he included.

But Tizen is a long-term effort for New samsung and won't substitute Android managing program soon, Blaber said. "They are not going to drop Android managing program over night. Tizen is still a very premature os."

Samsung will need to entice designer attention to create beneficial programs for Tizen, and needs to attention cell cellular phone providers to sell cellular phones operating the new os, said Jeronimo. Besides that, Tizen is not known by customers, he included. "Most providers currently focus on Windows Phone," he said. Another problem is that Tizen will never get anywhere if New samsung is the only producer making Tizen gadgets, he said.

To create Tizen work, the venture needs to be instructed by one source and not by more, said Jeronimo. Android managing program is a good example of this, it works because Google is the one big power that gives direction to the venture.

Tizen, however, is led by New samsung and Apple who both have different passions, Jeronimo said. "Intel wants to have its snacks used in Tizen gadgets," said Jeronimo, "but New samsung uses Qualcomm and Snapdragon snacks." Variations between the two companies have to be settled if Tizen wants to be successful. "One source needs to set the plan," he said, including that he realized know successful case were more providers tried to create a cellular OS together.
