Helpful or Harmful? What You Should Know About the Internet Giants That Support Your Business

What if the company that is adding to your bottom line is actually slowly taking business away from you? If you run a business that’s been carefully collecting customer data to help deliver more personalized shopping experiences, make people happy with your high level of service and win their loyalty, watch out. If you’re not careful, your customer data could slip right through your fingers — and into the hands of other businesses that deliver your products and services to consumers.

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt Says Other Streaming Music Options Are ‘Elitist’

In an op-ed with the BBC published just a few days ago, Google’s current chairman and former CEO Eric Schmidt took a shot at streaming services with humans picking the music (such as Apple and Spotify), calling other option’s expert-curated playlists “elitist” and claiming that the mixes made by DJs and music lovers are done only by the “select few”.

El Google Nexus 6 2015 esconde sus características bajo el nombre de Huawei Angler

Huawei Nexus

Son muchos los rumores y filtraciones que ya se han dejado ver por la red respecto a los nuevos smartphones Google Nexus. Todo apunta a que veremos dos modelos, uno fabricado por LG, a quien correspondería la creación del Google Nexus 5 2015 (también se le denomina Google Nexus 5X), y otro fabricado por Huawei, a quien correspondería el Google Nexus 6 2015.

Lo cierto es que la mayoría de datos son meras especulaciones, aparte de alguna que otra imagen de la parte trasera de ambos dispositivos, aunque ya sabemos que estas especulaciones suelen estar bastante cerca de la realidad. Y los que también suelen estar bastante cerca de la realidad son los benchmarks, una valiosa fuente de información previa a la salida de los terminales. Ahora, parece que el Google Nexus de Huawei se ha paseado por uno de los más famosos, Geekbench, mostrándonos gran parte de sus especificaciones técnicas.

Especificaciones del Google Nexus de Huawei

El dispositivo en cuestión ha aparecido en Geekbench bajo el nombre de Huawei Angler, y dado que tiene especificaciones de gama alta, como veremos a continuación, y que es poco probable que la firma china esté preparando otro flagship para este año mismo año, las evidencias de que se trata del nuevo Google Nexus son bastante claras. Así, estas serían las especificaciones del Google Nexus de Huawei, o Google Nexus 6 2015:

Huawei Angler Google Nexus Geekbench

Pantalla Quad HD de 5,7 pulgadas, chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 810, 3 GB de memoria RAM, 32 GB de almacenamiento interno y cámaras de 12 y 8 megapíxeles, son los datos más interesantes que arroja esta captura de Geekbench, además de la versión de Android, que por supuesto será 6.0 Marshmallow. A falta de confirmar otros datos importantes como la capacidad batería, o si incluye características como un chasis de metal, lector de huellas dactilares o USB de tipo C –según OnLeaks así será–, este sería el Google Nexus 6 de 2015.

La verdad es que no es nada sorprendente, y es que estamos ante especificaciones que ya hemos visto en otros terminales en lo que va de año. Sin embargo, lo que realmente importa al final en todo smartphone es su desempeño real, su autonomía, y su relación calidad/precio, algo con lo que Google podría jugar estratégicamente para situarse en una posición ventajosa en el mercado con su nuevo Nexus.

Rumored 18.4-inch Galaxy View tablet gets Bluetooth certified

At its IFA press event at the beginning of this month, Samsung ended its Gear S2 announcement by teasing an upcoming big tablet called Galaxy View. Although the Korean company did not out any other details, we’ve only had one huge Samsung tablet being rumored recently.

According to past leaks, its model number is SM-T670. And now a mobile device bearing that exact same model number has been certified by the Bluetooth SIG.

Although we can’t yet be sure this is what’s going to be sold as the Galaxy View, it’s really unlikely that the company would out two different huge tablets running Android in the next few weeks. After all, with a rumored screen size of 18.4″, the T670 (or Galaxy View) would be a niche device at best. Two of them would thus make little sense.

So we assume that this is in fact the Galaxy View. The certification means it will almost surely launch before the end of the year, though it’s still unclear when exactly.

It should come with a TFT LCD touchscreen with 1080p resolution, the Exynos 7580 SoC with a 1.6 GHz octa-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of expandable storage, an 8 MP rear camera, a 2 MP front-facing camera, and a 5,700 mAh battery. It will reportedly run Android 5.1 Lollipop.

Huawei’s Nexus 6 runs another benchmark, has more specs outed

Just yesterday we saw the upcoming Huawei Nexus 6 (codenamed Angler) in the database of the Geekbench benchmark for Android. That helpfully confirmed a couple of key specs of the device, namely the Snapdragon 810 chipset it uses, the fact that it comes with 3GB of RAM, and it runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Today the same handset decided to run GFXBench too, and this benchmark’s information screen thankfully lists even more specs for it.

As such, we now know that Huawei’s first Nexus smartphone will have a 5.7-inch QHD touchscreen, 32GB of storage, a 12 or 13 MP rear camera with 4K video capture support and LED flash, an 8 MP selfie shooter, an accelerometer, a barometer, a gyro, a compass, NFC, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, as well as a pedometer.

The use of the Snapdragon 810 SoC paired with 3GB of RAM is confirmed yet again, so at this point the only big mystery remains the battery capacity of the Huawei Nexus 6.

Google is expected to announce this device alongside the LG Nexus 5X at an event on September 29. The two phones may then go up for pre-order on October 13.

Windows on the Deep


Windows on the Deep
Robotic subs can stay down for days and reach extraordinary depths, instantly relaying their finds to scientists and an Internet-connected global audience. But they cannot go everywhere, and many scientists argue that studying the deep without direct human observation yields at best an incomplete understanding.
