Microsoft is 40 years old today
4/4/2015 4:25:00 AM
April 4th, 1975, Gerald Ford was president, Richard Nixon was still casting a shadow on the American landscape, the country was reeling from the effects of the OPEC oil embargo of 1973-74, and the US presence in Vietnam was about to become a sore memory.
Two young men, aged 19 and 22, set up shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Bill Gates and Paul Allen left Harvard and Washington State early with an idea to put a computer in every home, on every desk. Their company: Microsoft.
When you consider that the personal computer did not exist, nor did any meaningful platform to actually ...
AT&T is not in a rush to roll out LTE-Unlicensed
4/4/2015 2:06:00 AM
Expect to see increased chatter about LTE-Unlicensed in the near future. If you do not know what LTE-U is, it is simply implementing LTE service via the same unlicensed airwaves that consumers use for other short range solutions, like Wi-Fi, and cordless phones.
Like consumer electronics using the spectrum, LTE-U is implemented using similarly powered small cells. The trick is ensuring that these services do not interfere with consumer devices already in use.
Deploying LTE in this manner has already begun in Japan. NTT DoCoMo has rolled out "License Assisted Access" LTE, also called ...
Report: Huawei P8 to feature slightly more powerful Kirin 935 chipset
4/4/2015 1:44:00 AM
Up to now, all the talk about the Huawei P8 mentioned that the device would feature its home grown Kirin 930 CPU under the hood of the handset. On Saturday, a fresh new report states that the device will actually feature the Kirin 935 processor powering the phone. While there is not much information on the Kirin 935, it is believed to feature an octa-core CPU like the 930, but include a new "bumped-up" GPU for graphics.
Since the Kirin 930 includes four Cortex A53 cores and four enhanced A53e cores, there is the possibility that Huawei raised the performance levels on the Kirin 935 to make ...
Class Action suit against Google is dismissed; plaintiffs claimed Google was responsible for high phone prices
4/4/2015 12:17:00 AM
You might remember back last May when an anti trust suit was filed against Google. One of the plaintiffs was the owner of an HTC EVO 3D. He claimed that because of Google's business practices and its restrictions on Android, he had to pay an artificially high price for his handset. In a response made at that time, Google cleverly said that "Anyone can use Android without Google and anyone can use Google without Android." The suit sought injunctive relief and damages under both federal and state anti-trust laws.
The plaintiffs argued that Google's secret Mobile Application Distribution Agreements ...
United Kingdom has the power: EE to offer free 2600mAh power bar with unlimited replacements
4/3/2015 11:52:00 PM
With the advent of modern era smartphones, one of the critical considerations for owners of the high-powered flagships is battery life. For those that believe in Murphy's Law, we will typically find ourselves at the tail end of battery life just when we really want to power through some stuff, and of course, a power source is nowhere to be found.
EE customers will be fortunate enough to participate in a new program called EE Power. With EE Power, customers will receive a free portable 2600mAh battery charger.
Use and recharge the battery at your leisure, or if you happen to be "out ...

After purchasing the tech and patents of Softcard, Google Wallet is now one of a few players in the mobile payment space with a bright future. Others include Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

Would you use Microsoft's Cortana on Android or iOS?
4/3/2015 9:24:00 PM
Several weeks ago, a Reuters report had it that Microsoft would eventually bring Cortana to both Android and iOS, thus offering users an alternative to Google Now and Siri, respectively.
Apparently, owners of Android and iOS devices will be able to get Cortana as a standalone app, but there's no word on exactly when this is going to happen.
Cortana certainly has its charm and abilities, but it might be hard for it to become popular on Android and iOS, since Google Now and Siri are both great in their own way (not to mention the fact that, being the native personal assistants on ...
