Google Now for iOS Leaked Promotional Video
Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Just two days back, we had seen how Apple Siri was a better digital assistant in comparison to the Google Now. We could easily see it in the comparisons made. Anyways, the latest news is that Google Now App for iOS could be launched anytime soon. This became clear from one promotional video which was uploaded on YouTube. The uploaded video showed Google Now App features for the iOS devices, iPhone and iPad. The promotional video showed Google Now major features including real time data acquisition and predictive actions. Google Now service uses a variety of information about a user—everything from
emails to their current location—to display potentially useful
information like real time navigation rerouting, air travel updates and sports scores.
The promotional video for Google Now iOS App was pulled minutes later after it was uploaded on YouTube. But here you can check out the same video below -

Samsung Galaxy S4 New Leaked Images
Monday, March 11, 2013
Just 2 more days to go before the official launch of Galaxy S4 in New York but it seems that there's no stopping to the unofficial leakages. The same has happened again this time with the unofficial leaked images of upcoming Samsung Galaxy S4 on a Chinese website named 52Samsung. The leaked images show a dual-sim device that goes by the name GT-I9502 and the phone is meant for a China Unicom telecom network. You can see the leaked images below.
From the leaked images, it looks clear that Samsung Galaxy S4 is retaining the hardware home key as against supposed to be on-screen keys. Other details known about the leaked S4 phone specs are as follows -
- Quad-core 1.8GHz processor
- 2GB RAM
- 1920x1080p display resolution
- 13MP camera
- Powered by Android 4.2.1 (Jelly Bean) with the Nature UX skin on top
Apple Siri or Google Now - Which is a Better Digital Assistant ?
Monday, March 11, 2013
Apple Siri or Google Now - Which is a better digital assistant? From my own experience, both are good but I would still rate Siri higher above Google Now. Apple Siri and Google Now both provide digital assistance of the highest standard yet there's a common limitation with both these services. Both require internet connection to work properly even for the basic tasks such as setting alarm on your phone.
Keeping limitations aside, Apple Siri does a better job by more chattier and responsive than Google Now. Google Now mostly comes with a list of websites when any query is made. Its more like a regular web search we perform on the internet. Its very rare when Google Now comes out with a loud response. Unlike Siri, most of the response from Google Now is in the form of web results.
Apple Siri does exceedingly better when searched for restaurants. It has been made possible after Apple's partnerships with the reviews site Yelp and restaurant-reservation service OpenTable. A simple question made about Italian restaurants returned details of several restaurants with information on price range, average user ratings on Yelp and distance from your current location. Infact, Siri even lets you book hotels by giving you a few choices with open spots.
One area where Siri doesn't give you much options is movie ticket booking. You can though check for tickets and showtimes but for buying tickets on iPhone, users require software update to iOS 6.1.
Siri is also better at integrating with phone calendar and alarm clock letting you get valid responses anytime which is not the same case with Google Now which depends mostly on results fetched from web sites.
Another most important thing noticed with Apple's Siri is that its a click away. You just tap on the home screen and here it launches while with Google Now, it appears more like hide and seek thing. The search box and microphone button both keeps appearing and disappearing most of the times.
Well, whatever maybe...both Apple Siri and Google Now are quite good at most of the things. While Siri has been around for more than a year, Google Now is relatively new into this business. So, it may take some time before Google Now is in a better position to compete with Apple Siri.
Its now actually the beginning of seeing what voice search and virtual assistants can do. I am sure that there's lot to come in the days ahead..!

Apple iPad mini 2 Leaked Images
Thursday, March 07, 2013
A Chinese forum named WeiPhone had leaked images of Apple's upcoming iPad mini 2. These images were leaked in the last week of February 2013. Looking at these leaked images and considering latest reports, we can say that the next generation of Apple iPad mini 2 is going to have a slightly thicker build and it may also get a high-resolution ‘Retina’ display.
From the images shown below, we can see the back of the upcoming Apple iPad mini 2. The blue colored apple logo means that the device is still in the pre-production phase. Most of us may wonder if these leaked images are genuine or counterfeit. Well, WeiPhone has been an accurate source for leaked Apple devices in the past and so these leaks of purported Apple iPad mini 2 do appear to be genuine.
We may have to wait till April 2013 when Apple may formally announce its iPad mini 2 along with other anticipated devices like iPad 5. And following the same, we may also see iPhone 5S in the next month in the August 2013..!

Apple Cheaper iPhone Price Disclosed
Sunday, March 03, 2013
Is Apple working on a cheaper iPhone? Well, maybe yes. Though the cheaper iPhone from Apple is yet to confirmed, we have this report coming from Japanese blog, Macotakara that Apple is keeping the pricing of its cheaper iPhone to $330.
The report also says that the build quality of the cheaper iPhone will not be the same as what we have been seeing with the existing apple phones. The cheaper version of the apple iPhone will come with a polycarbonate body instead of glass and aluminum in the body casing. Polycarbonate body was used with the earlier versions of MacBook but now it is discontinued.
The polycarbonate material to be used with cheaper iPhone is glossy and is likely to make the rumored cheaper iPhone thicker and sturdier than iPhone 5.
Well, the pricing of the cheaper looks good to me. Only question we have now - Is Apple really working on the same? Are we really going to see cheaper iPhones from Apple in future?

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Unvieled
Sunday, February 24, 2013
Samsung has unveiled its Galaxy Note 8.0 just ahead of Mobile World Congress, the wireless industry's annual trade show, which starts Monday in Barcelona, Spain. Samsung is launching Galaxy Note 8.0 against the iPad mini, the rival tablet from Apple. The new Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 comes with a 8 inch screen and a stylus which is yet to be seen with any Apple device. The pen like stylus device from Samsung has posed a major challenge to Apple's dominance in both tablets and high-end smartphones. Apple has never ever developed any stylus like device to be used with its products instead it has always preferred to optimize its interfaces for fingers, mice and touchpads.
The Galaxy Note 8.0 is not the only tablet coming from Samsung in the mini range. Infact, Samsung has earlier also launched its smaller 7-inch screen tablets as the very first competitor to Apple iPad. Only thing it had missed was Stylus or say, Pen.
With the launch of Galaxy Note 8.0, Samsung has been able to fill the gap in Samsung's
line-up of pen-equipped devices between the Galaxy Note II smartphone,
with its 5.5-inch screen, and the Galaxy Note 10.1, a full-size tablet.
Samsung will start selling its new tablet 8.0 in the April to June period. Pricing is yet to be disclosed. More details coming soon..!
Samsung Mega Advertising Campaign Against Apple in India
Friday, February 22, 2013
Just a few days back we had seen
how Apple fortunes have begun to change in India with the company
achieving over 400% of growth rate in India in last 2-3 months. Apple
has been able to boost its sales in India considerably by employing
aggressive sales strategies. It is mostly through easy EMI payment
options Apple has been able to increase the sale of its products in
India in fourfolds. Apple's EMI payment options backed up by an
aggressive advertising blitzkrieg has done wonders for the company.
Now,
Samsung is seen following similar strategy to counter attack Apple by
launching a mega advertisement campaign and reintroducing EMI scheme for
its high-end phones. As per a quote Asim Warsi, vice-president at
Samsung Mobile -
We sense a strong interest amongst consumers for our high-end devices and based on our learnings from last year, we have re-introduced the EMI scheme for our bouquet of Galaxy devices.
Samsung
EMI plan covers popular models such as Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Grand,
Galaxy SIII and Galaxy Camera. As per Himanshu Chakrawarti, CEO at Essar
Group's The Mobile Store, the country's largest cellphone retailer with
800 stores -
Unlike Apple, the Samsung EMI scheme will cover much wider sales network including the neighborhood mobile phone retail stores, and hence the impact is surely going to be big.
Samsung
has planned to extend its marketing campaign for more than a month, to
the digital media and inside retail stores. The new campaign has made
Galaxy Note II match the EMI payment of iPhone 5. The iPhone 5
is available at a down payment of Rs 16,990 and EMI of Rs 2,376 for 12
months while the Galaxy Note II is sold for 12 EMIs of Rs 2,999. Samsung
has started its first ever EMI campaign with the launch of its Galaxy
S3 handset last September in 2012.
Well,
the fight between Apple and Samsung is getting fiercer day by day where
one would still feel that Samsung has an edge over Apple..!
Apple Hacked by Facebook Hackers
Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Apple recently faced what is said to be one of the biggest ever cyber attacks on its system where some of the Macintosh system of its employees was infected by a group of hackers. It all happened when a group of Apple workers visited a website of software developers that had been infected with malicious software. The malware software was actually designed to infect Mac computers.
This is the second biggest cyber attack in last few days. Earlier facebook was targeted by some unknown hackers who exploited a flaw in a version of Oracle Corp's Java software which is used as a plug-in on Web browsers.
As per Apple, the same malware was used to attack Mac systems run by other companies. Hundreds of companies, including defense contractors, had been infected with the same malicious software, or malware. Below is a statement coming from the Apple spokesperson after recent attacks -
Apple has identified malware which infected a limited number of Mac systems through a vulnerability in the Java plug-in for browsers. The malware was employed in an attack against Apple and other companies, and was spread through a website for software developers.
We identified a small number of systems within Apple that were infected and isolated them from our network. There is no evidence that any data left Apple.
Apple has also confirmed that it was working closely with law enforcement to find the culprits and also is planning to release a piece
of software on Tuesday which customers can use to identify and
repair Macs infected with the malware used in the attacks.
Well, this is very unsual and rare for hackers to target Mac but seems that with growing market share of Macintosh over Microsoft corp, hackers are now diverted towards Macs now to fulfill their evil objectives.
Anyways, it is never too late. You can keep your Mac safe easily by following these simple tips as mentioned in this post. Hope you find it useful. Please feel free to add your points too if you have any.
