Google Working On Smartphone Moto X

Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside has confirmed that the mobile phone manufacturer purchased by Google is working on a new Smartphone called the Moto X and wants to produce it in the U.S. itself. At the tech conference Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside was sitting on the podium. In an interview with journalists Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher, he confirmed rumors that they are working on a Smartphone called Moto X. It should appear in October, along with other mobile phones by the manufacturer. He also did not provide any details on the technical equipment, so that here the speculation can go on.

 After all, Woodside announced that the Moto X is assembled in a factory in Forth Worth, Texas. The items would not completely come from the U.S. The processor, for example, comes from Taiwan and the OLED screens from Korea. In addition, the Smartphone should have numerous sensors and remember, for example, when it is pulled out of a pocket or force in the car at around 100 kilometers per hour by the driver to a safe use.

TechRadar suspected Motorola introduced the Moto X will not be available on the Google developer conference I / O in May. So remains uncertain whether it will be the first device to the next version of Android (codenamed "Key Lime Pie" lime pie). The mobile phone with at least a 4.5-inch touch screen according to the report would not belong to the Nexus devices, but mark the beginning of a new sub-brand of Google. However, the graphical user interface should be designed similar to the Nexus models. In addition, the Moto X would have new features that occur, for example in competition with S-Beam and S Voice of Siri from Apple or Samsung.

All about Google Nexus 4!

The Google Nexus 4 is a top class Smartphone at an intermediate rate. Google Nexus 4 is one of the best Smartphone which can do Android updates early and very easily. LG brings the Nexus 4 now available in a white version also in the market. However, only the Smartphone back and sides of the body shine in new splendor, the front remains unchanged, according to the devices pictures available. According to the manufacturer, the white Nexus 4 will be released first in Hong Kong and then to other markets in the coming weeks. A combination of cool metal and anodized surfaces, which you will not want to put down - all this, is the Nexus 4. The front and back are made of scratch-resistant Gorilla glass. Nevertheless, you need a moment to you is warm with the LG-made Nexus 4, but then it also convinces with a high perceived value. The design is edgy, hugs not as good in the hand like a Galaxy S3. But the Nexus 4 is not so unwieldy. The processing of around 140 grams heavy equipment is perfect, surprisingly a flawless rigid casing, the buttons are tightly enclosed. The edges are rough and rubbery, under the gorilla glass on the back depending on the light shines a different pixel array, but discreetly ... It was only there when it is cold, the glass is also tactile recognizable as such. The large screen is a sharp crack IPS display with 1280x768 pixels, provides a pixel density of 319 ppi. The size is slightly below that of the Galaxy S3 (4.8 inches) to 4.7 inches (11.9 centimeters).

 If you are looking for criticisms, it could be argued the worse compared to AMOLED black level and a smaller angle. But that does not spoil the joy of the great picture while surfing and games. The laboratory certified high brightness, good contrast, natural colors and little reflection. Only the visibility in bright light is not optimal. The quad-core processor "Snapdragon S4" is clocked at 1.5 GHz. various benchmarks substantiate the impression that you are dealing with a fast computer. In one benchmark, for example, the Nexus is a HTC X forward, the next 4 In any case; the Google phone plays forward with. This fits the lush memory of two gigabytes, so far an exception for Smartphones. The device memory is eight or 16 gigabytes and is not expandable. As operating system "Android 4.2" (Jelly Bean) is installed. Great advantage of the Google Phones: future stand with the Nexus 4 at the front of the long part Android update queue. Prima: A small update after the first start already eliminated the error that already established under the Google Apps account acquired should be bought again. Android 4.2 offers "Gesture Typing", offer the other manufacturers as "Swap" gesture by finger wipe only on the keyboard to enter words. The camera has a resolution of eight megapixels. The laboratory test showed an effective resolution of 4.7 megapixels, the sight test on the monitor ordinary, slightly sharpened images. Flier is not the camera. Full HD videos are now standard. The front camera takes HD video and triggers with 1.3 megapixels. New 'Photo Sphere ", a feature that allows you to create 360-degree panoramic pictures from several individual photographs.

However, the results remained the practice test below expectations. In addition, the system was still not free of errors. The data is transmitted via GSM, UMTS, HSPA +, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth. The charging cable, you do not necessarily need the Nexus 4th Instead, you supply the unit with induction of fresh 'juice'. A corresponding space you will need to buy. Alternatively, micro-USB connectors on board that have MHL adapter and HD MOV, MKV & Co. in 1080p on the TV. A status LED below the screen draws attention to received notifications, headphones missing. Although the Nexus 4 does not support the data turbo LTE, the screwdriver from iFixit discovered a LTE chip (Qualcomm WTR1605L) inside - a remnant of the LG Optimus G. The can even be activated by entering a code, but he uses this country nothing. The lack amplifier chip transmits only one band, which is available for example in Canada. The sound quality of the phone is good. The transmission and reception quality is worse than the iPhone 5, but better than some in the Smartphone Galaxy S3 LTE, HTC One XL, and LG True HD. On the Internet the Nexus 4 delivers a great idea: While the browser may not support Flash, but is fast. Apart from the lack of LTE and the data transmission is very fast. HSPA + provides up to 42 megabits per second. The operation hits and no riddles. The average battery life is short (note 3.62), but with eleven hours of typical Smartphone usage cuts the Google Nexus 4 outperformed all competitors mentioned in the preceding paragraph (S3 LTE: ten hours iPhone 5: nine).

Yahoo trying to acquire video streaming service Hulu!

After the failure of redemption Dailymotion, now Yahoo! tries to get VOD platform Hulu. In 2006, Yahoo! tried to buy YouTube in vain. It was finally sold for 1.6 billion dollars, a gold price that Google snatched it from the hands of his rival one of the world's video platform. In 2013, shortly after the arrival of Marissa Mayer, the portal returns to the load by trying to acquire 75% of Dailymotion for € 300 million. Once again it was a failure. This time it is the French Govt. who opposed to sell it to the U.S Company. Barely a month later, Yahoo! launched once more try in his eternal quest for video Grail. According to Kara Swisher of AllthingsD, Yahoo! would be willing to make an offer between 600 and 800 million dollars, but it calms the media enthusiasm by saying that it is unlikely that Hulu accepts an offer below to a billion dollars.

 It is another failure to Yahoo on the arduous road to the VOD platform? Unlike Dailymotion, Hulu is a VOD platform. The acquisition would be perfectly consistent because Yahoo! (through Yahoo Screen), as well as Hulu have recently redeployed to the production of content. Since 2010, Hulu produced web series and other video content. Yahoo! is itself has started already for example "Electric City," a series produced by Tom Hanks." By the acquisition Hulu could bring a unique expertise to Yahoo! in the field of content monetization, creating obvious synergies with Yahoo screen in countries other than the U.S. or Japan the only regions where Hulu is available. Hulu is a U.S. platform happens best monetize video content. Hulu is a pioneer in advertising. It was Hulu who introduced the "ad selector", which allows users to choose which view advertising before playing the video. ". Hulu has given best Results and reward to this technology. In 2011, Hulu exuded a turnover of $ 420 million to 2 million subscribers in 2012 alone; the turnover has soared to $ 700 million to 4 million subscribers. If the acquisition is consistent with the Yahoo! video, it does not necessarily take place in the most strategic time.

 Indeed, the company led by ambitious Marissa Mayer embarked on a frenzied acquisition strategy, acquiring all goes startups that sometimes do not emerge from sales. This is not the ideal time; Yahoo has squandered its $ 1.2 billion cash to buy Tumblr. However, Yahoo! will soon release more reserves. Remember that owns 24% of Alibaba will soon go public and potentially be enhanced up to 100 billion dollars. Finally, all these arguments are highly speculative since Yahoo! is competing with big players like Time Warner Cable, DirecTV, Guggenheim Digital Chernin Group, KKR & Co. and an alliance of Silver Lake Management and William Morris Endeavor Entertainment. Yahoo! believes that Time Warner Cable is the most serious competitor, "Actors like NBC, Walt Disney and News Corp., which currently have Hulu might be afraid to give a pure internet player that could cannibalize in creating a platform the size of Netflix. Indeed, these groups develop their own similar jobs and they might find it reassuring to sell Hulu to a player of their own ecosystem". Then the question of the amount of the offer by Yahoo! obviously come into play is unlikely that Hulu will agree to be settling at an amount lower than the recent acquisitions that took place in Silicon Valley. The acquisition of Tumblr 1.

1 billion may be taken as a standard. However, Yahoo! could still play on Hulu major flaw that is it’s difficult to enter into long-term contracts with rights holders that they commit several years to continuously feed the platform. In 2011, rumors had circulated a potential buyout of Hulu to $ 2 billion by Yahoo!, but it would have changed its mind, Hulu is unable to guarantee the delivery of content over four years. In the event of a failure of the acquisition Yahoo! will refocus on organic growth strategy, including developing Yahoo screen and producing their own video content. Yahoo! has the means to develop original and exclusive offers autonomous and do not depend exclusively on acquisitions.

Gigabyte Unveiled Motherboards Z87X-UD3H and Z87X-UD4H

Gigabyte has unveiled two motherboards in ATX that are equipped with a socket LGA 1150: the Z87X-UD3H and Z87X-UD4H. They are designed to accommodate future processors of Intel more particularly Haswell, which is going to officially release on June 4. Already Intel has divulged many details of its next generation Haswell CPU and recently gave some more information on the different models with integrated graphics. Since the launch date is fast approaching, the brand partners are increasingly pressing for the image of that Gigabyte, hence it has unveiled the details with two of its motherboards photos. The Z87X-UD3H and Z87X UD4H are very close to one another even sinks except the color and the heat pipe of the second. The external connector is the same among them and includes six USB 3.0 ports, two eSATA, Gigabit LAN port, six 3.5mm jacks and a quartet of video outputs: DVI, VGA, HDMI and Display Port. However there are three digital outputs we should appreciate for the same. The rear connection of the two cards is the same. On both cards, so we find a LGA 1150, four slots for DDR3, a PCI slot, three x1 and three PCIe x16 PCIe. A logo on the PCB announces support for NVIDIA SLI in both cases remains to be seen whether this is also the case of the "3-Way SLI." Obviously, a shovelful of S-ATA ports of the game, but some may regret the absence of an mSATA connector. On the PCB we can notice the presence of a digital display to just know the type of fault in the event of a problem, and buttons to start the machine or perform a "Reset" and a "Clear CMOS". In addition, two small switches are part and are expected to move from one to another. No details have been revealed regarding the availability and their prices. However, things should quickly change the since the date is fast approaching and the NDA on the Haswell processors will end on June 4.
