Many of you know about Watson. Created by a team of clever IBMers over a few years, last Spring Watson handily defeated two Jeopardy champions at the game. If you saw it, you know the story and what Watson was able to do: listen to the query, make sense of it and understand how to tackle the problem, search a store of information equal to roughly one human memory, identify potential answers gleamed from the information reviewed, calculate a level of confidence with each answer, and then, if Watson was confident enough to risk some winnings by offering an answer, activating a buzzer for a chance to respond. The questions had a single correct response, such as 'What is O'Hare Airport' or 'Who is Nikola Tesla'.

Yesterday, Watson impressed again. At the opening day of the National Retail Federation's annual Big Show, attendees had the pleasure of seeing Watson in action, playing against two intrepid and good-natured human competitors. Watson won, but that's not the story. Among the categories was one for which the answer was a combination of a titles, such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit at Rest (Who Framed Roger Rabbit + Rabbit at Rest) or Million Dollar Baby It's You (Million Dollar Baby + Baby It's You).  This is a difficult problem, and was fun and surprising to see.

On TV last year Watson showed himself (permit me to invoke a gender based simply on name and voice) to be very knowledgeable. He clearly knew quite a lot. Would I have considered his behavior a reflection of intelligence? Well, maybe. But mostly to the degree that he was interpreting a complicated or even tricky query before picking up different clues to find and evaluate the quality of potential answers. This is still very impressive to anyone who has seen it. Yesterday Watson was creating an answer for something that doesn't even exist. That's even more impressive, and to my mind a stronger example of intelligent behavior. Could yesterday's performance be considered creative?  Watson did create a solution that didn't exist within its store of information, but the clues were such that they probably pointed at one correct answer. So what did he look like? Knowledgeable, yes. Intelligent, more so than what I noticed before before. Creative? Not yet, but the potential seems to be there. I'm interested to see what he does next.

Do you talk to your mobile phone? Not that way. I mean using speech as a user interface.
Lately I've been playing with that. It has been a few years since I had bought a mobile phone, so when I signed up for new cell phone service I chose a very good device. It offers an option for spoken instruction and data input, which is not new. You talk to it, it records the the sound it hears, analyzes and offers a text which can be accepted. I've done this with emails, for example. Yesterday I was using the navigator function and spoke my destination, which it understood without a problem. As I drove off to the destination the device spoke to me, providing directions as the location function followed my movements.
Perhaps you have tried speech recognition software with your PC. Probably you've been greeted by a machine when calling 'customer service' over the telephone. Some of you interact with your vehicle using voice. Many of you saw Watson on Jeapordy. So I will posit that speech as a user interface is basically mature and its growth is less a matter of better technology and more a matter of adoption.

Go back to my device. If you bought the thing without service it would cost US$500. It can do a lot more than recognize and respond to my speech, so I'll make a guess that capability alone would cost US$100. Throw in Moore's Law, which posits that technology doubles, or costs half, roughly every 24 months. Now consider, would a consumer goods manufacturer be willing to add 2 cents to the COGS for a can of beans (or package of macaroni, or bottle of beverage) in order to add a meaningful speech driven user interface? I think so, if the functionality were rich enough. Like explaining the product, making suggestions for what to buy along with it, or giving preparation instructions. How long would it take to drive that US$100 cost down to 2 cents? About 12 halvings meaning 24 years. So in 2035 you might be having a conversation with your can of beans.  Personally, I intend to live that long.

If the product cost $5 or $10 or more, then the manufacturer might be willing to spend 10 cents for such functionality. What might you talk about? "Let's walk through the preparation instructions and tailor it to your tastes." "Hey, that drier was pretty hot. If you keep doing that I am going to shrink and wear out faster. Let me tell you some things about cotton." "I think you already took one of the pills inside me earlier today, are you sure you want to open me again?"  You might hear that in 20 years.

You can choose your own numbers and growth rates and calculate years.  It is even more fun to speculate about what the use cases might be, and how you or your children might be interacting with your pantry some day.

Kerrang magazine describes Continents sound as, "Energy-fueled epic-core with lots of aggression, a healthy blend of raw shouts and low end growls and foot stomping hooks." Their music and intense stage presence has separated them from the ever-growing UK Metal/Hardcore scene.

Each and every one of these characters has a legitimate motivation for revenge--Khan for being used by Starfleet, Kirk for the murder of Admiral Pike, Khan for Kirk betraying him... No character steps back from those emotions to show how we should respond...
But Kirk did step back and examine what he was about to do and the morality of such after seeing his officers react negatively to the mission. Much like Picard stepped back from using the virus on the Borg after people like Guinan and Geordi convinced him it was wrong.
Khan was still a terrorist who had a hand in murdering people and Kirk arrived at the correct way to handle the situation.
Sometimes you gotta make hard (perhaps immoral decisions when not at war) when you're in charge.
Archer pirated a ship, killed a clone of Trip when the Earth was threatened. IMO Picard should have sent the virus and taken a chance that the Borg would have been destroyed. Imagine the billions of lives that would have been spared if he did. The Borg had the capacity to wipe out the galaxy.
And Marcus had the right and duty to develop warships as an admiral in Starfleet. He crosses the line though in 'enslaving' Khan and betraying one of his own ships. He's not at war - he just wants to start one.
I agree Starfleet should keep Khan and his guys under wraps. They are just too dangerous for the 23rd century. Perhaps they can be woken up in the 27th

Mike GibsonHello, world. -
I am a gay man. My boyfriend and I are not welcome into your church as a couple (along with countless other churches) because of the way that God made us. I know that God has made me and my beloved this way and that he loves us! We are just like other couples, we pray, we read scripture, and we attend an Episcopalian church where we are welcomed and loved. I cannot help being gay any more than most people cannot help being straight.
If this headline had read, "Photographer Refuses to Service Mixed Race Wedding" we'd all be outraged (hopefully). But it doesn't, it just says that people like me, Christians like me, can be discriminated against because someone else doesn't like us. If it goes against LDS doctrine to marry two men or two women I suppose that is the church's loss... we do not want to force anyone or any church to marry us. All that we are seeking is right to sign a piece of paper given to us by the state that says we can be legally responsible for one another. This includes ease of home ownership, splitting healthcare and debt, making end of life decisions, etc, etc, etc.
I know God's love. I know Christ's love. I only want others to know the love I know as well.
I know that Mormons teach that a sealed marriage is forever. We looked into the LDS when we were both searching for something, anything where we could love and live in the light of Christ. That's when we learned that to attend Temple worship is the highest form of worship for Mormon's but that we would be bared from it as a couple because we were a couple. That is when we knew that the LDS church might be amazing but could not be for us. It is not that we hate Mormons or the LDS church, it's that we would not be given a chance there. So we found a place where we are welcome.
I know in my heart that when Jacob and I can get married, God will love us as he always has and we will be together forever no matter what someone else believes.
Again, thank you. Your comment was the only one on this video I have found actually telling the truth. You should be commended. God Bless you and your family!

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Dealings With Qualified Clients and Accredited Investors Depending upon an RIAs business model and investment strategies, it may be important to identify "qualified clients" and "accredited investors." The Dodd-Frank Act authorized the SEC to change which clients are defined by those terms.
- U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Information This information sheet contains general information about certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and selected rules under the Advisers Act. It also provides information about the resources available from the SEC to help advisors understand and comply with these laws and rules.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday approved sweeping proposed new rules and amendments to existing rules designed to implement provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act regarding improving the regulation of credit rating agencies.
All five of the SEC Commissioners approved the proposal, which is out for a 60-day comment period. SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro (left) called the proposal "massive."
SEC Commissioner Luis Aguilar noted during the open meeting that the "many components" of the SEC's proposal address a "broad array" of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations' (NRSROs) conduct, including:
- a requirement that policies and procedures for ratings methodologies be documented and that they be approved by the NRSRO's board;
- the requirement for an annual report to the Commission regarding the effectiveness of internal controls over the ratings process;
- enhanced disclosure to ratings users about the methodology and assumptions underlying a rating, the quantitative factors affecting the rating's reliability, and the findings and conclusions of any third-party hired to provide due diligence regarding an asset-backed security;
- the explicit separation of sales and marketing personnel from the production of credit ratings;
- the requirement that NRSROs review ratings activity involving an employee who subsequently leaves to work for the issuer, underwriter, or sponsor of the rated security and disclose the results of this review; and
- enhanced public disclosure of the performance of ratings.
Aguilar said that the "financial crisis that still affects the lives of many Americans exposed serious shortcomings in the performance of NRSRO ratings." In response, he said, "Congress included provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act to strengthen the regulation of NRSROs and to provide the users of credit ratings with additional disclosures."

eDrawings is a free design-review tool for viewing 2D drawings and complex 3D CAD models and assemblies in a compact format. And it's not just for engineers; eDrawings is designed for anyone who needs to review designs and doesn't have access to CAD software. In this course, Gabriel Corbett shows you how to view, print, and review files with eDrawings. Learn how to create and work with views, which give you better insights into your model; add annotations like notes, measurements, and shapes; and view and reply to comments from reviewers. Plus learn to view and share drawings on mobile devices with the eDrawings app for mobile devices.
SolidWorks eDrawings is a powerful 3d data, viewing and annotating program. With one click of the mouse, a Solid Works user, can save a single file that can contain complex assemblies, and can compress that file down, to a size that's easy to work with, and easy to email. Saving out an e-drawings file, couldn't be any simpler. First off, notice this assembly here is made up of multiple sub assemblies and multiple parts. There's a lot of different hardware in here. It's a pretty complex assembly. I've got a whole hardware folder and a lot of components. And this is a lot of components all saved on the hard drive across multiple locations.
When I save on an eDrawing, it's going to compress it all down to one file. First off, go up to File, go to Save As, and it lets you save as, instead of assembly, make sure you choose eDrawings. There's a couple of options when I'm working with e-drawings, one of them is okay to measure the e-drawing file. It's really important cause if you're working with other people, you want them to have the ability to see and measure and be able to comment on your files in the future. So click on that, and same thing with export XTL. There's a lot of 3D printers in the world now and 3D printing is becoming very, very popular.
So if you give them the option, they can save out a file to SGL, and that's perfect for importing into a 3D printer environment. Click OK, and we have that other option of adding a password if we want to. When you're ready, go ahead and save it into the correct folder and click on Save, and that's it. We've got an eDrawings file that's available to email. It's one small compressed file. I'm going to go ahead and take a look at that file, under chapter one, and there it is. It's 1.2 megabytes whereas this eDrawing folder, if I take a look at that folder, properties.
You can see it went from 18.8 megabytes down to a 1.2 megabyte file, and that's one individual file versus all these files you might see in this assembly that go and make up that engine assembly. I also wanted to point out that eDrawings is not only for SolidWorks. In fact, there is several different applications that can publish to the Edrawings format. Notice if you're at the downloads, free downloads version, we can download for SolidWorks, Autocad, Catia, ProEngineer, Inventor, Unigraphics, Solid Edge, and even Google Sketchup. Once you've created an eDrawings file, using either Solid Works or any of the other available CAD applications, you can open it using the eDrawings Free Viewer to open, share, collaborate and email.
Leverage the power of a simple interface in Free Viewer to review and collaborate on your designs. With simple tools for annotating, measuring and commenting, eDrawings is a perfect tool for working with a team of users in reviewing your design, and you sure can't beat the price.
There are currently no FAQs about Up and Running with eDrawings.

Lynch syndrome (LS) is responsible for around 2-3% of all colorectal cancers[1]. Germline mutations within one of four mismatch repair (MMR) genes, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, or PMS2, cause an increased risk in colorectal, endometrial, urinary tract, and other cancers. Tumor screening, by microsatellite instability (MSI) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis, can be utilized prior to mutation analysis in order to streamline the testing process[2]. The following describes the use of MSI and IHC to aid in the clinical interpretation of a novel MMR mutation of uncertain significance and the direct impact on cancer detection.
Materials and methods/results
Family X presented to our cancer genetics clinic with a previously identified MSH2 MMR gene variant of uncertain significance, 1227del12, detected in Sib 1, who was diagnosed with synchronous colon cancers at age 53. This mutation is an in-frame deletion of four amino acids (Gln, Gly, Ile, Asn) in exon 7, which is located in an alpha-helix turn of the protein. Sib 2 had a bladder cancer at 56 years, and Sib 3 had a ureter cancer at 62 years. Sibs 2 and 3 were tested by standard DNA sequencing for the specific VUS[6]. All three Sibs carry the MSH2 1227del12 mutation. This mutation has not been previously reported in the literature; hence clinical interpretation of this VUS was limited. For this reason, coordination of MSI and IHC was pursued for the three Sibs' tumors. MSI was high for Sibs 2 and 3 and unable to be performed on Sib 1. All three Sibs' tumors showed concurrent loss of MSH2 and MSH6 by IHC.
This IHC pattern is suspicious of an underlying germline mutation within the MSH2 gene[4,5]. In addition, both of the tested tumors were MSI-high. Given these results, and a significant family history, Family X was clinically diagnosed with LS, with the MSH2 VUS as the likely cause. Relatives with the VUS were informed to follow LS management recommendations, and those without the VUS should undergo high risk screening[2,3]. Sib 2 then underwent a colonoscopy one year from a previous unremarkable colonoscopy, and a Stage I, 1.2 cm proximal colon adenocarcinoma with focal mucin production was detected.
This case illustrates the benefit of tumor screening and genetic professional expertise in the clinical interpretation of a MMR VUS as it applies to clinical diagnosis, early detection and management of high risk families.

31 year old woman | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking men 28-35 within 50 miles
this headline thing? I'm totally over-analyzing it.
I grew up on the Western Slope of Colorado, attended college in San Diego, moved back to Colorado and I recently moved back to Colorado from a brief hiatus in Upstate New York, and am loving being back by the mountains. After 10 years of being a little bit of a nomad, I'm 'settling' down a bit and absolutely love Denver. I'm a bit of a workaholic; and I spend time I'm not working with friends or unwinding with yoga, cooking, baking, drinking wine, and being outdoors. I have a degree in Interior Design, but switched gears after graduating and found myself loving the accounting world, which is what I currently do. I still need to get my creativity out so I make jewelry and bake. Friends would say I'm hard-working, loyal, intelligent, passionate, honest and loyal. I am one of those rare Coloradoans who has *gasp* never skiied. Would love to get out and try though (although sports have never been my strong-suit...I'm game for going out and having a good laugh at myself while trying!) I'm looking for someone I can have a good time with, who enjoys life and all it's trials and tribulations. Life is short, have a damn good time while you can! Definitely looking for someone who is caring, smart, motivated, honest, and an overall happy person. Anything else...just ask!
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting

Before The Fire
by Rival Sons
Released: Jun 2009
Label: Front Line Music
It's tempting to compare Rival Sons, what with their hip-grinding riffage and shrieking vocals, to the mighty Led Zeppelin. But it's The Jeff Beck Group (which released the amazing album Truth in 1968) that makes for a more accurate comparison. Rather than Zep's monolithic sense of pop dynamics, Before the Fire is rooted in The J.B.G.'s dirty rhythm and blues and hazy psychedelia. Guitarist Scott Holiday is a shredder, one who cuts across the groove every chance he gets. Bassist Robin Everhart and drummer Mike Miley are equally agile; the pair knows how to balance swing and brute strength.

Georgetown, SC – Agru America, headquartered in Georgetown, South Carolina, has completed its 25th year in business. The company, which began with a polypropylene pipe plant in Massachusetts in 1988, today employs 200 people at three manufacturing facilities located in Georgetown, South Carolina, Andrews, South Carolina, and Fernley, Nevada.
The company began as a 50/50 joint venture in Canton, Massachusetts and another 50/50 Henderson, NV-based joint venture as Serrot International producing geomembranes. The company expanded in 1992 to geomembrane production at the Massachusetts location. The manufacturing facility and headquarters were relocated in January 1996 to their current home in Georgetown, S.C.
"When reflecting back to when I joined Agru America, I'm overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude and respect for the company owners, Mr. Gruber Sr. and Mag. Gruber Jr., and their continued vision and support for the growth of Agru America," stated Mr. Johnson, President since November 1997 after joining the organization in 1995. "The company is one of the top suppliers of geosynthetic materials, a position for which we're grateful, proud and blessed."
Agru America is the only U.S. manufacturer using the flat die extrusion calendered process to produce smooth and structured geomembranes for the U.S. and international civil, environmental and mining markets. By extruding materials in-house, Agru is able to manufacture the highest-quality, one-layer products with unique surface structures such as spikes and studs as well as multi-layer and colored extrusion sheets.
Agru America expanded its manufacturing capabilities and product range with the acquisition of assets of the Performance Fabrics and Fibers plant in Andrews, South Carolina in January 2012 supplying textiles to the civil, environmental, mining, bedding and automotive markets.
Agru America is part of Alois Gruber GmbH, a family-owned business since 1948 with production facilities in Austria, the U.S., Germany, China and India, and distribution in over 80 countries worldwide.

Our Customer Service Training conducted for Retail Training focuses on training of core customer service skills. Our soft skills training material on customer service is used by numerous companies.
Customer Service Introduction to Customer Service • "There is only one boss, and whether a person shines shoes for a living or heads up the biggest corporation in the world, the boss remains the same. It is the customer! • The customer is the person who pays everyone's salary and who decides whether a business is going to succeed or fail. In fact, the customer can fire everybody in the company from the chairman (CEO) on down, and he can do it simply by spending his money somewhere else. • Literally everything we do, every concept perceived, every technology developed and associate employed, is directed with this one objective clearly in mind – pleasing the customer." --Sam Walton, Owner & CEO, Wal-Mart Customer Service in the 21st Century • Manufacturing economy Service economy "Relationship Management" economy • Increased importance on customer interaction as a high- tech environment has decreased personal contacts • E.g. Today's greeting of the customer support staff is "How are you doing today?"- makes the customer feel less like a number and more like a human being "A lot of people have fancy things to say about customer service, including me. But it's just a day-in, day-out, on going, never ending, unremitting, persevering, compassionate type of activity." - Leon Gorman, Former President of LL Bean (America's largest catalog retail outlet) Good Customer Service • Good customer service means: – Providing a quality product or service – Satisfying the needs/wants of a customer – Resulting in a repeat customer • Good customer service results in: – Continued success – Increased profits – Higher job satisfaction – Improved company or organization morale – Better teamwork – Market expansion of services/products Customer Service • Good customer service = Lasting relationships • Average customer service = Steady relationships that could be lost • Poor customer service = Lost business What does the Customer Desire? • Friendliness • Empathy • Fairness • Participation • Alternatives • Information 10 Rules for Great Customer Service 1. Commit to quality service: – Create a positive experience for the customer. – Go above and beyond customer expectations. 2. Know your products: – Helps win a customer's trust and confidence. 3. Know your customers: – Tailor your service approach to their needs & buying habits. – Get to the root of customer dissatisfaction by talking to people and understanding complaints. 10 Rules for Great Customer Service 4. Treat people with courtesy and respect: – Every contact with a customer leaves an impression. – Use phrases like "sorry to keep you waiting," "thanks for your order," "you're welcome," and "it's been a pleasure helping you." 5. Never argue with a customer: – Be solution focused rather than problem focused. – Research shows that 7 out of 10 customers will do business with you again if you resolve a complaint in their favor. 10 Rules for Great Customer Service 6. Don't leave customers hanging: – All communications with customers need to be handled with a sense of urgency. – Research shows that 95% of dissatisfied customers will do business with a company again if their complaint is resolved on the spot. 7. Always provide what you promise: – Failure to do this is a sure way to lose credibility with your customer. – If you can't make good on your promise, apologize and offer some type of compensation, such as a discount or free delivery. 10 Rules for Great Customer Service 8. Assume that customers are telling the truth: – The majority of customers don't like to complain; in fact, they'll go out of their way to avoid it. 9. Focus on making customers, not making sales: – Focus on the quality rather the volume of the sale. – Research shows that it costs six times more to attract a new customer than it does to keep an existing one. 10. Make it easy to buy: – Make the process simple and user-friendly. "Culture of Commitment" The transition from ordinary to extraordinary performance happens through a " Culture of Commitment", where frontline people reflect to the outside the intense pride and ownership they are experiencing on the inside. "Moment of Truth" or the "aha" experience • Strong "Culture of Commitment" ensures "Moments of Truth". • Jan Carlson, in his book, Moments of Truth, calls every customer interaction a moment of truth, and every moment of truth is an opportunity to make a favorable impression on your customer. Internal Customer/External Customer • Who is an External Customer? – The term external customer includes not just the paying customer but also anyone who receives the benefit of the goods and services. • Who is an Internal Customer? – Internal customers are specific people and departments who play a role in helping you to serve external customers. Polite and Friendly Alternatives • I DON'T KNOW – I'LL FIND OUT. • NO – WHAT I CAN DO IS…. • THAT'S NOT MY JOB – LET ME FIND THE RIGHT PERSON WHO CAN HELP YOU WITH…. • YOU'RE RIGHT THIS IS BAD – I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL. • THAT'S NOT MY FAULT – LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT THIS. • CALM DOWN – I APOLOGIZE…. • I WANT YOU TO – LET'S Contact Information MMM TRAINING SOLUTIONS Landline: +91-44-42317735 Cell: +91 9677044366 Cell: +91 9677040908 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Website: www.mmmts.com Pramila Mathew Vikas V.

Archos unveils world's first 256GB Android tablet and 'Fusion Storage' technology
Android tablets are a dime a dozen nowadays, making selecting one a bit daunting. Unlike iPad where you only must decide between full-size and mini, tablets running Google's OS come in various shapes, sizes, colors, and prices.
In order to stand out among the sea of rectangular slabs, a company must do something bold and unique. Today, Archos announces the world's first Android tablet to have 256GB of onboard storage. Even cooler? The company announces its fusion storage technology, allowing internal memory to seamlessly combine with a microSD card.
Blackphone 2 caters to the enterprise, the security-minded and the paranoid
Yep, we know all about the NSA, thanks Edward. Yeah, it's possible (probable?) that a government agent somewhere is listening to or recording your conversations. And yes, even if you're not one of the tin-foil hat brigade, there's a danger that someone could tap into your phone. But you don't have to be paranoid to want security; there are plenty of companies and enterprise customers for whom security is of the utmost importance.
While much of the news coming out of MWC 2015 has been dominated by Microsoft's Lumia 640, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, and tablets from Sony, there's always room for something a little different. Following on from the security-focused Blackphone, Silent Circle used the Barcelona event to announce the follow-up -- the Blackphone 2.
Sony unveils Xperia Z4 Tablet
Two flagship smartphones a year is one too many. Consumers who buy those top-of-the-line handsets do not like seeing their new purchase being outclassed in the same year it launches. Thankfully, Sony has learned its lesson, as there is no Xperia Z4 at MWC 2015. However, it's a bit strange that we're seeing Xperia Z4 Tablet. It's like the tablet division didn't get the memo, naming it after a device that's not here yet.
For those of you not keeping track of Sony's flagship tablets, Xperia Z4 Tablet is the successor to Xperia Z2 Tablet, announced at last year's MWC. The more-recent Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact that made its debut at IFA 2014 features a much smaller display, targeting iPad mini -- instead of full-blown iPad -- buyers. Let's take a look at Xperia Z4 Tablet.
Microsoft's Universal Foldable Keyboard loves iOS, Android and Windows equally
Every mobile operating system would have you believe that it has the best built in keyboard. It's clear that plenty of people disagree judging by the number of alternative keyboard apps that exist in the Windows Phone, Apple and Android stores. Sometimes even the best software keyboard isn't good enough, but few people are enamored with the idea of carrying around a full size Bluetooth keyboard.
There are numerous mobile keyboards that are particularly suitable for use with smartphones and tablets, and today at MWC in Barcelona, Microsoft threw its hat into the ring with the Universal Foldable Keyboard. Bearing more than a passing resemblance to a large money wallet, this svelte device connects via Bluetooth to whatever mobile device you happen to be using -- including the newly announced Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL.
Smartphones hit 7 inches as Huawei announces MediaPad X2
The announcements are coming thick and fast from MWC 2015 in Barcelona. As well as the Huawei Watch, Huawei also announced the MediaPad X2. As you might guess from the name, this is a tablet, but dual SIM support means that it is essentially a gigantic smartphone with no less than 7 inches of screen to play with.
And it's more than just the dimensions that are supersized -- the 2.0 GHz Kirin930 64 bit octa-core packs quite a punch. Being a brand new device, it's little surprise that Android 5.0 Lollipop is found pre-installed, and this is supplemented by the third version of Huawei's own Emotion UI. But there is much more to this phone/tablet crossover -- perhaps the first device to genuinely justify the horrific portmanteau phablet.
Lenovo announces new Android and Windows tablets at MWC 2015
Lenovo is a manufacturer under a lot of scrutiny right now. While the Superfish debacle may be fresh on your mind, the company is much more than that onetime mistake. The company's hardware is legendary; well built and respected by both home users and the enterprise alike. The company has since apologized and vowed to stop loading bloatware on machines. In other words, while Superfish was bad, the fallout is benefiting consumers, as the new PC experience will be improved. Kudos to the company for learning from its mistakes and actually improving as a result.
Moving beyond mistakes, Lenovo is at Mobile World Congress 2015, where it is announcing new products. Today, the company announces three new tablets; one is running Windows 8.1, while the other two are running Android. Which OS do you prefer on a tablet?
IKEA announces furniture with integrated wireless charging for phones
Starting in April, IKEA will start to sell furniture with integrated Qi wireless charging points. The Scandinavian flat-pack furniture store, famous for the likes of the BILLY bookcase, plans to launch a range of home furnishing in North America and Europe, before extending the rollout worldwide.
You might expect that sofas would be a natural home for wireless charging -- just pop your smartphone on the arm so it can power up while you watch your favorite shows -- but in fact it is tables, desk and, surprisingly, lamps which will boast the feature. It's not just phones like the Galaxy Note 3 and Nexus 5 that can take advantage of wireless power, but also tablets like the Nexus 7.
After losing the top spot in India's smartphone market, Samsung gets robbed in the tablet category too
It's not only the smartphone market in which Samsung has lost the pole position, but tablets as well. The South Korean media conglomerate is no longer the largest tablet vendor in India, the emerging market for digital devices where the tablet share grew by 3.6 percent quarter-on-quarter, reports IDC.
As per the stats provided by the marketing research firm IDC, Indian OEM iBall captured the maximum market share (15.6 percent) in the country last quarter. Samsung managed 12.9 percent share, and was followed by Datawind with 9.6 percent share, Lenovo with 9.4 percent share, and HP with 8.7 percent market share.
How do US carriers fare at unlocking your smartphone?
The four-largest carriers in US have come up with a list of measures designed to make phone unlocking easier for their customers, following pressure from FCC and activist groups, among others. The deadline for enforcing these measures passed last week, so how do AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon fare today?
According to consumer rights activist Sina Khanifar, surprisingly to some, Verizon, which is the leading carrier in US, is the only player that implements all the measures. At the other end of the spectrum are T-Mobile and Sprint, which appear to be doing a shoddy job, only managing to implement half.
Microsoft wants you to 'Trade-in and trade up to Surface Pro 3' but you shouldn't do it
The Surface Pro 3 is still one of the the best computers you can buy. Sure, there are more powerful and less expensive machines, but the overall Surface experience is unique and versatile. It can be a tablet, laptop, or desktop, while the included pen offers even more added value.
The problem for many, however, is the price. Yes, you can get a core i3 Surface Pro 3 for $799, but once you add in the keyboard attachment -- which is technically optional, but realistically necessary -- you are approaching the $1,000 mark. With that said, it is not overpriced; the price is quite reasonable for what you get, especially when the cost is averaged over the life of ownership. If you want to get one at a discount, today is your lucky day -- sort of. If you have a previous generation Surface -- both ARM and x86_64 -- you can trade it in towards a Surface Pro 3. Believe it or not, you can earn up to $650! However, there is a catch and you shouldn't do it.
HERE for Android gets slew of improvements as it graduates from beta
In less than a week, HERE has seen two major updates. The first brought more accurate maps to Android and Windows Phone users, making way for turn-by-turn navigation in more countries. And the second brings a slew of improvements to HERE for Android as the app finally drops the beta label.
Having used HERE on Android right from the start, I have to say that there is little that I miss compared to what the app suite has to offer on Windows Phone. Still, this hasn't stopped Nokia from making some tweaks here and there. Here's what the latest update brings to the table.
Lepow Poki 5000 and U-Stone 12000 external battery chargers [Review]
Working from home has its perks. I don't waste any time commuting. I get to eat home-made food at lunch. And, among other things, I never have to worry about battery life. If the battery of my smartphone is nearly done, I can always find a charger to top it up again. Life is easy in this regard, until I walk out the door.
I don't usually plan my trips so that I go out with a fully-charged smartphone. This is the least of my concerns, to be honest. There's always a charger in the car. And, for the times when that is not an option, I carry either a Lepow Poki 5000 or U-Stone 12000 external battery charger. I'll be reviewing both in this piece.
Intel's 5th generation Core vPro processors now available for enterprise and enthusiasts
Whether you are a home or business user, there is probably an Intel processor in your PC or workstation. Let's be honest, it has become a one-horse race; Intel is really the only player in the processor game nowadays. True, AMD is still producing chips, but the best value is Intel's "Core" line -- great performance paired with impressive battery life and temperatures. Sadly, AMD has nothing to compete with Intel's 14nm 5th generation Intel Core processors.
Today, Intel furthers its lead against competitors by announcing the immediate availability of the vPro-enabled 5th generation Intel Core processors. These chips are aimed at business users and workstations, but enthusiast home users will be interested in these chips too. The new features should allow workers to be more productive, while working smarter instead of just harder.
Bill and Melinda Gates' annual letter says smartphones and mobile banking are key to the future
Bill Gates is more readily associated with philanthropy than technology these days, but that's not to say he doesn't still have more than a passing interest in the world of tech. In their annual letter, Bill and Melinda Gates look 15 years into the future, envisioning a world in which the life in poor countries has improved dramatically.
Technological advancements are key to this vision, and the Gates refer to the importance of mobile banking, cheaper tablets and smartphones, as well as improvements to crops and vaccines. It's 15 years since the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was created, and the couple are making a bet that "the lives of people in poor countries will improve faster in the next 15 years than at any other time in history".
Cross-platform support is key to Spartan's success
Microsoft revealed earlier this week that Windows 10 will ship with a new browser, known as Spartan. The venerable Internet Explorer will still be around for enterprise duty and certain sites, but the new kid on the block is the one Microsoft wants you to embrace. However, when it is Google's Chrome or Mozilla's Firefox that you have to leave behind, convincing you to jump ship is not going to be easy.
Spartan is clearly no Internet Explorer. It is designed from the ground up as a modern browser, that works well across multiple form factors. It will be found on all PCs, smartphones and tablets that ship with or are upgraded to Windows 10, which means that it, at least, will be readily available to test. But does it have what it takes to pass the test, and become your new favorite browser?
