Microsoft and Nokia have been exceeded during the current month has been a major obstacle in the way of completion of the transaction, which is to obtain the approval of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce on the deal.

Nokia was at the time the largest producer of times for mobile phones in the world, but its sales began to fall sharply with the emergence of a generation of smart phones and control of companies such as Apple and Samsung on the new market

With the completion of the transaction Finnish company Nokia will include only the infrastructure for communications networks and services sector (if the feed), and the sector of digital maps (HP IRI), is scheduled to be Nokia's first quarter of the current year's results to be announced on Thursday

Nokia said that its factories in the Indian city of Chennai and Masan, South Korea will not be passed on to the possession of Microsoft, and works in Masan plant about two hundred workers and Nokia plans to lock it. It is scheduled to Chennai and Masan workers get support from the company if they decide to seek employment outside the Nokia

Galaxy S sales drop 5 worrying Samsung

Galaxy S 5 sales were lower by about four million units of Galaxy S 4 during the first three months of the put

The "Galaxy S 5" Last smartphones from the upper class to Samsung of South Korea, which safeguarded many unique features that are not available together in any other phone in the hope to maintain its leadership in the smartphone market, but sales of this phone was disappointing not expect the company even in the worst estimates.

A report published by the newspaper "Wall Street Journal" reported that 40% of the Galaxy S phones 5 is still in the sales stores around the world, and while the company was confident that it has a phone hitter. Production increased by 20%, but the S 5 sales did not exceed 12 million units during the first three months to put forward, compared to 16 million units of the Galaxy S 4 during the same period when asked.

While feed sales 5 in countries such as the United States increased the sales dropped key markets such as China, which is targeted by many manufacturers because of the magnitude of the market, came the biggest decline in the market where he bought customers there half the amount of feed

phones 5 compared to what sold the company in China last year from S4

This decline comes confirmation of what was said previously affected by competition from Samsung about Chinese companies that are cheap phones pose a high specification.

The report said that Samsung seeks to significant changes in the management of the Department of smart phones the company, may affect the head of the same section. However, the company declined to comment on what she described as "rumors and speculation."

It is clear that the weakness of the Galaxy S sales 5 caused a hole in Samsung's revenue for the year, taking into account that the company has notified its investors last month that it expects a drop in profits of up to 60% during the third quarter of the year.

The act phones Galaxy S 5 stacked shops pursuant expensive, and requires the promotion of the phone more of the budget, in addition to the expected decline in the selling price, which will contribute to the further reduction of the profit margin and revenue, as well as that it would be so strong impact on the company's plans to stimulate the production line in a language design appeared in the new Galaxy alpha phone.

The decline Galaxy S 5 may affect the image of Samsung, which is trying to confirm it is a pioneer in the field of creativity and not just a fake, and proves that the "slight improvement" in the phone specifications compared to the previous phone is no longer enough to ensure good sales.

Samsung keeps a chance to get out of this impasse in the next smart phone -almtouka that bears the name of Galaxy As6- which must be distinct and strong.

Learn the advantages of Windows 10 in the next year

Microsoft hopes to achieve through the Windows 10 dream run one system for multiple devices

It is expected that the US software company Microsoft held a special event in late January next to reveal details and features for the beta version consumer operating systems "Windows 10", according to sources familiar with the plans of the company for the site "The Virg" on technical matters.

Microsoft had revealed this system on September 30 / September last, and in October / October last raised technical preview oriented companies and users enthusiasts to test the system and gather observations copy. This process was secretly made in previous periods between experimental copies ask.

Although the company is involved in the International Consumer Electronics Show in January next, which will be held in the US city of Las Vegas, but they seem to prefer to detect run in the upcoming special event system details.

Windows is a 10 serious attempt of the company to avoid personal duplication experienced by Windows 8 current crisis (because it includes with dual use), as well as a re-thinking and the development of the approach the company's bold about her dream of unification of experience to use between desktop and mobile devices.

Microsoft had previously promised to discuss the special run Windows 10 system features the consumer in early 2015, ordinary users and warned that the technical preview version is not directed to them, and for them not to risk installed on personal computers.

Were detected on the technical preview version of Windows 10 in a modest event in San Francisco lasted about an hour, but is expected to be an event detection advantages consumer version is more important, especially with the numerous updates that have entered the new system since the introduction of the first preview version.

The company is also expected to reveal its plans relating to the system and Windows Phone, and tablet computers, and gaming platform Xbox One, especially since the new system is designed to work on different devices from PCs and Tablets, phones, even gaming platform Xbox One

Photography camera smartphone

Nokia Lumia phone in 1520, which is running Windows Phone camera accurately included 20 Megapeixla

The camera has become a key element of the smartphone elements and a means of attraction used by manufacturers to push sales of its organs, so the majority of international companies provide luxury phones sophisticated camera captures images of superior quality.

Although the quality of images captured by camera phones Smart has become a great deal of quality, it is technically pure still less equipped compared with cameras photographic compact cameras changing the lens, where there is only a fixed number of smart phones, which includes cameras allow you to adjust the optical zoom light sensitivity settings.

And describes the expert photography, Jana Mintz, smart phones and tablet PCs do not allow the possibility of the aperture, which is considered as a key pillar in photography, according to the saying tuning, but with so the user can through the various applications to capture high-quality photos by smart devices Cameras .

In turn, the editor says the magazine contacts "Connect" German, Mikhail Bojkert, the image-editing applications currently replete with many functions ranging from simple images Cutting through the use of filters through to the complex processes of editing images through multiple layers, such as the functions provided by the program professional Adobe Photoshop that .

Mintz and indicate that the user can through the various applications of adding many exciting image effects, like blur part of the image to get a miniature effect or add unclear ranges, or overlapping images with texts, or design fun pictures with show information about the weather and conditions flights. Among those applications, "Anstabokeh," and "Peixart," and "Afterleight," and "Anstawidhir."

Although many image processing applications are available free of the real professional tools that allow the photographer to the possibility of dealing with multiple levels in the pictures do not primarily exist only in paid applications, and there are some free applications provide functionality or additional filters Kmstraeat within the application.

Users Tips

Explains Editor Code of photography "de Enzarma" German, Martin Forster, that if the application has its own forum, such as the application of Anstagram, it is best that the user get out well on the general terms and conditions relating to privacy and data protection, may be on the user to give up certain rights.

Advised Forster owners smartphones and tablets equipped with Google's Android system or the Apple "iPhone OS" using applications "IM" and "Anstagram" pointing out that applications such as "Habstamatik" and "Vskocam" offers many exciting functions to the extent that it is used in newsrooms long ago.

As for the operating system and Microsoft's Windows Phone, advised Bojkert using the application "Peixart" or Adobe "Photoshop Touch application."

But in the end, the best applications can not create images of superior quality as long as the camera in the smartphone quality is below average, reflecting, Mintz that it is not important number Almigapeixl provided by the camera, but the most important is how the camera performance under bad lighting, and speed conditions Auto Focus enjoyed by even the user can capture images clearly spontaneous.

Finally, the experts advised users wanting to use the smart phone to take pictures to observe that there is sufficient memory space to the device, and make sure there is a backup battery or charging cradle or cable for charging can be used in the car or a solar-powered charger.

Why do you hate government agencies Android Aa.o.as 5 and 8?

ios 8 depends encryption mechanism automatically do with the system without providing a special key for decryption

Since the advent of leaks former contractor with the US Agency for National Security Edward Snowden, technology companies are trying hard to distance itself from involvement in espionage operations on the users of its products, and for that I worked on the development of new ways to protect users data and encrypted, and increased user interest Safe Browsing similar programs "Tour" and VPN software "in me that."

And pay orientation technology companies such as Google and Yahoo about this that show views implementation of the US law At occasions Adh- concern of the new encryption systems, claiming they hinder the work in the inquiry and investigation, they prevent or make it difficult to access the users of modern technology data, which it considers necessary to prevent acts of "terrorism" and discover the facts.

The back of this anxiety evident in the statements made by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, James Comey, who expressed in September / September last "deep concern" of security procedures that the two companies Apple and Google began to do to protect the privacy of users.

The cause of concern to the new security steps taken by these two companies, which where essays based on encryption does automatically in each of the two operating systems smart devices "Aye OS 8" and Android 5 "Don could provide private keys to decrypt their systems to encrypt, and thus become accessible to the existing user data apparatus impossible to law enforcement agencies, and even the developer of the system.

Without key encryption

The Apple has announced on its inability to access the latest version of the "EOS" system users data, which prevents it from responding to requests for government data revealed, as Google has provided the copy of Android 5 encryption technology that uses a private key associated with each device.

And benefit technology companies from a variety of encryption to protect their data systems, but it is different for both versions of "any and S8" and Android 5, as the encryption keys used in these systems do not appear on the network servers, and each device has a unique his key, which remains inside, which prevents the manufacturer of access to the encryption key and decrypt the phone.

The encryption provided by Apple and Google on that constitutes an important advantage for law enforcement agencies threat must get rid of it, where the cross-Kumi about it, saying, "The encryption threatens all of our leadership to a dark place."

And get law enforcement agencies during investigations usually approvals from the courts to plant malicious software in the suspicious devices, allowing them to register transit words, but encryption systems that impede such operations.

Professor pointed at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York and Adam you to the difficulty of breaking new encryption systems used in both versions of operating systems, " IOS 8" Android and 5 compared to the previous two versions.

Here come the autonomous robot security guards: What could possibly go wrong?

Here come the autonomous robot security guards: What could possibly go wrong?

Showing a rather shocking disregard for the long-term safety of human civilization, Microsoft has become one of the first companies to deploy autonomous robot security guards. Dubbed the K5, Microsoft’s Silicon Valley campus was being policed last week by five of these roughly human-sized 300-pound (136 kg) robots, each equipped with enough cameras, sensors, artificial intelligence, and alarms that they can replace most human security patrols. Fortunately, despite looking like uncomfortably like a Dalek from the Doctor Who universe, the K5 is not (yet) equipped with a ray gun or any other method for harming or detaining humans.

The K5, built by the Californian company Knightscope, is billed rather euphemistically as an “autonomous data machine” that provides a “commanding but friendly physical presence.” Basically, it’s a security guard on wheels. Inside that rather large casing (it’s 5 foot tall!) there are four high-def cameras facing in each direction, another camera that can do car license plate recognition, four microphones, gentle alarms, blaring sirens, weather sensors, and WiFi connectivity so that each robot can contact HQ if there’s some kind of security breach/situation. For navigating the environment, there’s GPS and “laser scanning” (LIDAR I guess). And of course, at the heart of each K5 is a computer running artificial intelligence software that integrates all of that data and tries to make intelligent inferences — like, should I tell HQ about that large gathering of teenagers, or should that man be climbing in through that window?

K5 security robot. The lights can change color (red for trouble, orange for caution, etc.)

If a K5 decides that there’s a situation, it can use one of its built-in sirens to try and diffuse things — or it can message HQ to summon a human. If you step in front of the K5, or otherwise interfere with it, it will gently warn you with some chimes — but if you don’t move,an “ear-piercing alarm” is triggered. Other than its sirens and its rather imposing design, the K5 isn’t equipped with any weapons or other tools for resolving situations. (Does anyone else think it looks like the lovechild of a Dalek and EVE from WALL-E?)

A slightly odd photo of a US sheriff holding a gun to the head of a K5 robot

K5 isn’t just for catching criminals, either: If you find yourself in trouble/danger, there’s also a button on the top of the robot that summons help from HQ.

Read: Microsoft wants to be part of Judgment Day, too

The purpose of the K5, like most robots, is straightforward: To replace expensive human workers. The K5 can run for around 24 hours on a single battery charge, automatically navigates back to the charging point when it’s running low, and only takes 15-20 minutes to recharge. Obviously, in the long run, this is cheaper and more efficient than a human security guard — plus, as technologie improves, the K5 will probably be more vigilant and capable of spotting smaller discrepancies than a human. In theory, because of the lower cost, you could also field lots of K5 robots, reducing the number of potential holes in security coverage.

It goes without saying, though, that deploying a fleet of roughly human-sized, autonomous robots is just a little bit scary. At the very least, a 300-pound robot would cause a lot of damage if it ran into something — a car, a shop window, a child. In all likelihood, though, if these robotic security guards are popular, they’ll eventually be equipped with weapons — perhaps a taser for subduing a suspect, and a tear gas launcher for clearing groups of people. At that point, you need to be really sure that the AI is free of bugs.

Nokia N1: An iPad Mini clone that runs Android 5.0, priced at just $250

Nokia N1: An iPad Mini clone that runs Android 5.0, priced at just $250

What looks like Apple’s iPad Mini, but has better specs, is considerably cheaper, and runs a stock version of Android 5.0 Lollipop? The new Nokia N1 tablet, apparently. At just $250 with 32GB of storage — as opposed to the iPad Mini 3’s base price of $400 for the 16GB model — the Nokia N1 is definitely priced to sell.

Just yesterday, Nokia — as in the networking equipment company that wasn’t acquired by Microsoft — announced that it would be licensing the Nokia name to device makers. Today, it seems Chinese electronics giant Foxconn is the first company to take up that offer with the Nokia N1 Android tablet.

The Nokia N1 bears a striking resemblance to the iPad Mini. It has the same 7.9-in 2048×1536 screen, the same bezels, the same anodized aluminium unibody chassis, and very similar camera, button, and headphone jack placement. Even the bottom of the N1 looks like an iPad Mini, with two speaker grilles flanking a small, central port. (Incidentally, that port on the bottom of the N1 is one of the first reversible USB Type-C connectors, not Apple’s Lightning connector.)

There’s also no home button, nor any chamfered edges — but curiously, the N1 is slightly lighter (318 grams vs. 331 grams) and thinner (6.9 mm vs. 7.5 mm) than the iPad Mini 3. In terms of raw hardware specs, the Nokia N1 and Apple’s iPad Mini 3 are fairly similar. The N1 is powered by a quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 SoC (Bay Trail/Moorefield) which should compare favorably with the iPad Mini’s A7 SoC, or Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 805. The N1 has an 8-megapixel camera on the back, vs. 5MP for the iPad Mini 3 — and its WiFi goes up to 802.11ac, rather than the Mini’s rather ghetto 802.11n. The iPad Mini 3 does have a larger battery than the N1, however. We have no idea how these spec differences will play out in practice, of course, but on paper at least the Nokia N1 is pretty hot — especially priced at $250, some $150 cheaper than the iPad Mini 3.

Nokia N1: An iPad Mini clone that runs Android 5.0, priced at just $250

Other than price, the main difference is that the Nokia/Foxconn N1 runs a stock version ofAndroid 5.0 Lollipop — stock, that is, except for the inclusion of Nokia’s newfangled Z Launcher app. Z Launcher, according to Nokia, is a very simple app launcher that “adapts to you.” It shows the apps that you’re likely to open — and for other apps, you can “scribble” the app’s first letter on the screen (“u” would bring up Uber, “i” would bring up Instagram, etc.) The launcher is available on Google Play today for Android smartphones, but for tablets it’s exclusive to the Nokia N1 (it’s meant to be a sweetener).

Read: Why Android 5.0 Lollipop is already coming to phones and tablets

The Android tablet space is an interesting one. On the one hand, the Galaxy Note line of tablets and phablets has been well received — and of course, Amazon’s cheap-and-cheerful Kindle Fire tablets appear to sell quite well. On the other hand, though, Android tablets clearly aren’t a hit in the same way as the iPad and iPad Mini. The Android tablet market has always given off a slight air of immaturity, probably because there has never been a stand-out device that has inspired users and developers to take the segment seriously. Maybe the N1, with stock Android 5.0, is that tablet?

The Nokia N1 vs. iPad Mini 3. I removed the branding, just so you can see how similar they are.

Nokia N1 tablet: Even the product photography is a homage to Apple

The Nokia N1 will go on sale in China in or around February 2015, priced at around $250 (before taxes). It will then roll out to some countries in Europe and Russia. No word on whether it’s coming to the US — but given now the Nokia brand is much more recognizable/valuable on that side of the Atlantic, I wouldn’t be surprised if the US has to wait a long time

This tiny $100 box lets you really feel the bass, even using headphones

This tiny $100 box lets you really feel the bass, even using headphones

We don’t experience music solely with our ears — we have the capacity to sense it all over our bodies. Feeling the bass thud in your chest at a concert or at a movie theater is a vital part of the experience, and we often miss that in the home environment. So, what if you could get that same sensation while playing a PS4 game, or listening to an album on Spotify? That’s exactly what the Woojer is designed to do, and this tiny box effectively adds another layer of immersion. In fact, it might just be the next piece in the virtual reality puzzle.

Plug in your audio device over a standard 3.5mm jack, and the Woojer will send out strong vibrations that match the bass notes perfectly. By placing this device against your chest or the small of your back, these strategically placed vibrations supposedly trick your brain into feeling that your entire body is being surrounded with vibrations. ExtremeTech’s very ownSebastian Anthony has tried out this device, and the results seem surprisingly positive. If you want to feel your music without investing in an elaborate sound system, this seems like the perfect solution.

Of course, the Woojer has a lot more potential than simply helping you pump up the jams wherever you go. This device can be used by the hearing impaired to sense and enjoy something that they normally wouldn’t be able to perceive. It’s certainly no replacement forcochlear implants, but it can serve as an incredible tool for the deaf and hard of hearing. I know that if I lost my hearing, I would do anything within my means to try to recreate the experience of music. Considering that the Woojer is only $99, this could open the door to music appreciation for millions of people.

As with just about every gadget these days, minds drift towards virtual reality. Sight and sound are already being handled decently with existing technology, but the other senses have largely been ignored. Last month, we covered a powered exoskeleton that adds a sense of touch to virtual worlds, and the Woojer seems like the perfect companion device. Standing next to a crumbling building in Call of Duty? Now you’ll actually be able to feel it shake your whole body.

If you’d like to buy a Woojer of your very own, you can order one directly from the Woojer website. One device will cost you $99, the “Woojer Extreme” two-pack will run you $179, and the official store promises that orders will be shipping out this month. The Woojer isn’t going to completely revolutionize the world of music or virtual reality, but it will make for one hell of a stocking stuffer
