Share

16g

Apple’s next flagships, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus aren’t expected to be available until September 2016, but the internet is already awash with its purported specifications and designs. Among many rumours, another rumour suggests that Apple will drop its 16GB storage option in favour of a 32 GB option, aimed to provide sufficient capacity.

Kevin Wang, an IHS technology analyst who claims links in Apple’s supply chain, posted on his weibo account, the new Phone, expected to be launched in September, would come with 32 GB as its minimum storage.Apple has designed its models with a 16GB of storage capacity since 2011’s 4s, but as apps and photos takes more space on the device, many people have criticised that the 16GB storage capacity is not enough.Apple has also been rumoured to be getting four speakers, dual camera and is believed to eliminate the headphone jack.

It is possible for the rumour to be true,
but is yet to be confirmed. More information will be revealed closer to the launch.

Microsoft sells patents to Xiaomi, builds ‘long-term partnership

Share

micro

Software maker Microsoft is selling about 1,500 of its patents to Chinese device maker Xiaomi, a rare departure for the U.S. company and part of what the two companies say is the start of a long-term partnership.The deal, announced on Wednesday, also includes a patent cross-licensing arrangement and a commitment by Xiaomi to install copies of Microsoft software, including Office and Skype, on its phones and tablets.Both companies declined to discuss financial terms of the deal.

“This is a very big collaboration agreement between the two companies,” Wang Xiang, senior vice president at Xiaomi, said by telephone ahead of the deal.Analysts said Xiaomi’s ambitions to be a major player outside China were hampered by weak patent protection and a fear of a prolonged legal battle.”This deal might just give them enough of a patent trove to move to Western markets,” said Sameer Singh, a UK-based analyst. “Their position in China has been under constant attack from even lower-end Android vendors, so moving overseas is now a necessity.”

Shipments of Xiaomi phones fell 9 percent year-on-year in China in the first quarter, according to Strategy Analytics, and its market share dipped to 12 percent from 13 percent, squeezed not only by Huawei and Samsung Electronics but also smaller contenders including Oppo and Vivo.Wang said the acquisition of Microsoft patents, which included voice communications, multimedia and cloud computing, on top of some 3,700 patents the Chinese company filed last year, were “an important step forwards to support our expansion internationally.”

Xiaomi launched its first U.S. device earlier this month, a TV set-top box it developed in cooperation with Alphabet Inc’s Google, which owns the Android operating system it and most Xiaomi devices run on. Xiaomi has also launched a tablet which runs a version of Microsoft’s Windows operating system.Jonathan Tinter, corporate vice president at Microsoft, said the company was keen to tap into Xiaomi’s young, affluent and educated users by having its products pre-installed on their devices. He declined to go into detail about the patent deals, but said the overall deal was something “we do only with a few strategic partners.”

Microsoft has cut licensing deals with many Android device makers over the years, but has had less luck with Chinese manufacturers.Florian Mueller, a patents expert who consulted for Microsoft in the past, said it was rare for Microsoft to actually sell its patents, adding “it’s possible Microsoft found it easier to impose its Android patent tax on Xiaomi as part of a broader deal that also involved a transfer of patents.”

Yesterday we reported that Samantha was accepted by Akkineni family, but her glamour and skin show is what troubling them.

Lots of drama has happened as Tamil Super Star Surya has been labeled as accused for attacking a youth who was having an altercation with a woman. The guy named Premkumar is a Football player said he and his friend were riding on bike and as the car in front of them stopped suddenly, they lost control and slammed into the rear end of the car.

The driver of the car, who is a woman lashed out at the two guys and the guys responded in a serious manner. At this juncture, as Suriya intervened, this spiced up the situation. He slapped the two guys and they registered a case on Suriya. But later they withdrew the case themselves.

This created huge ripples. Now in this case, the girl driver herself thanked Suriya on Twitter and she explained the situation. The series of tweets are listed below,

A Really Strange Decision

Nirmala Seetharaman once again stated categorically that Apple will not be allowed to sell second hand refurbished phones in India.The Department of Electronics and Information Technology has told the environment ministry and the Director General of Foreign Trade that it does not support the import of second-hand consumer products because it contributes to electronic waste being dumped in India, officials said and now Nirmala Seetharaman has upheld the same stance. This is really a strange argument.

How can second hand phones refurbished contribute to e-waste and first hand phones not do so? It is everyone’s dream to own an iphone first hand or second hand and the ultimate choice should be left to the consumer.The government will anyway be getting revenue in the form of taxation and Apple has also declared that it would be following the same quality control procedures for all range of its phones, first hand or second hand.

If Apple sells second hand phones, then the other manufactures will be badly hit and this could be the actual reason. But then, they should come out with something innovative to stay in the reckoning for this is a free market. Mentioning reasons such as e-waste is just a farce.

sai

Young Mega hero Sai Dharam Tej, who has created a good name for himself as Supreme Hero after his uncle Chiranjeevi’s once upon a time title, is currently basking in the success of his latest film, Supreme.With Supreme, which collected more than 20 crores, Sai has succeeded in establishing himself as a most reliable mass hero among the young Mega heroes. In his latest interview, Sai revealed the reason behind his conscious decision of choosing mass commercial entertainers.

Sai said that all his Mega uncles, Chiru, Pawan and Naga Babu, gave him three rules to always follow before he stepped into films seven years ago. And those important rules were, “take care of your producer, satisfy your director and entertain the audiences.”

Needless to say, Sai has been following his uncles’ rules religiously and is finding success. However, Sai also said that he is game for experimental films and said that both his upcoming films, Thikka and BVS Ravi’s films have experimental shades. Will Sai keep up his uncles’ three rules even with experimental films?

Samantha’s Satire on Her Own Dubbing!

Samantha was at her witty best while interacting with media on Tuesday. Ahead of the release of her next, when media questioned her did she dub for the film, Sam shot back saying, “No, I haven’t dubbed for the film. Had I dubbed, the film would see the light only in June 2017.” Sam in short hinted that dubbing on her own would take time and the makers didn’t have that much time to wait for her dubbing. However, Sam says the film has been very special to her from the beginning.

Giving a peep into the film, she said the film has no external conflict but the real conflict is within the protagonist himself. “Not necessarily, the film should have an external conflict. A..Aa deals with an internal conflict of the protagonist.”Samantha didn’t even spare media. When journalists were pestering for big news on her wedding, she evaded and smartly replied. “Why do you ask me when you don’t write what I say? Anyhow you write what you’d like to write?”

She further said how she was fed up of promotions and don’t want to see faces of reporters for sometime. “I’m fed up of promotions. I’ve given several interviews in the recent months. I don’t want to see you all for the next few months,” Sam said on parting note. After Brahmotsavam and 24 (in Tamil) didn’t meet the expectations, A..Aa is crucial for Sam.

Super Star, Too much hype can kill!

kabali

Rajnikanth’s Kabali is nearing its release and the fans are going crazy for the film. The distributors have started shelling out some un heard amounts to buy the film. Also, the film is being released simultaneously in China and many other Asian countries which is a first for a Rajni film.

But there is another section of the media who feels that the film is creating the same hype and hungama which Linga did. Post the film’s unsuccessful stint at the box office, the distributors suffered heavy losses and burnt their fingers.

Now the same buzz is seen and all those are planning to buy the rights and are becoming extra cautious before they commit extra money. The trailers have created a good energy for the film and everyone is eagerly awaiting the release. Will Rajnikanth prove his mettle this time and will he bail out everyone who suffered losses last time, we need to wait and see.
