Dual-screen LG V10 is shown in another leaked image

LG is working on an Android smartphone with two displays – and they’re both on the front. This device, known as the V10, was caught at Chinese regulatory agency TENAA a while back, and it might become official at an LG event that’s taking place on October 1.

In the meantime, though, we’re treated to a new leaked image showing the LG V10, which you can see on the left. And this time around the small secondary screen is clearly visible above the main display.

In this render it’s filled with five app shortcuts, but perhaps it will have some other uses too – we can imagine LG might allow it to also show a few contacts, for example, in a similar fashion to the Edge display on Samsung’s Galaxy S6 edge and Galaxy S6 edge+.

The secondary screen reminds us of Verizon’s Samsung Continuum from 2010, which featured a 1.8-inch 480×96 AMOLED touchscreen underneath the main display. To put it lightly, the Continuum never reached bestseller status, so it’s unclear if LG’s attempt at a similar product will be more successful.

According to the aforementioned TENAA listing, the LG V10 will have a 5.7-inch QHD main touchscreen, a 16 MP rear camera with dual-LED flash and laser autofocus, a 5 MP selfie cam, 3GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, a fingerprint scanner built into the power key, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 808 chipset at the…

Manjaro lanza la tercera release candidate de Manjaro 15.09

Manjaro 15.09

Manjaro 15.09

Esta semana la hemos comenzado con varios lanzamientos de versiones de testeo, releases candidates y actualizaciones de las distribuciones más famosas entre los usuarios. Una de estas es Manjaro la cual el pasado domingo día 20 lanzó la tercera release candidate de la nueva versión de Manjaro, Manjaro 15.09.

Aunque es una release candidate, Manjaro 15.09 RC3 cuenta con gran estabilidad y a pesar de ser recomendable siempre la utilización en equipos virtuales, la posibilidad de hacerlo en un equipo normal sin problema es alta.

La nueva Manjaro 15.09 tendrá soporte para varios kernels de Linux, entre los que se encuentran versiones actuales como el Kernel 4.1, kernel antiguos como el Kernel 3.14 o versiones de prueba como el kernel 4.3-rc1. En todos el sistema funciona correctamente aunque en las últimas versiones de kernel, existen problemas con otros drivers como el driver Catalyst para tarjetas gráficas.

Manjaro 15.09 contará con una release candidate del Kernel 4.3

Catalyst también se actualiza, teniendo en Manjaro 15.09 la versión 15.201.1151 de este software que contendrá además corrección de varios bugs conocidos. VirtualBox, Manjaro-Tools y el soporte para UEFI son otros elementos que se han actualizado durante estas versiones de prueba de cara a lanzarse en la próxima versión. Además el equipo de desarrollo de Manjaro ha actualizado la base del sistema, que como bien sabéis, es Arch Linux por lo que Manjaro 15.09 se muestra más interesante aún.

Manjaro 15.09 contará con varios escritorios y gestores de ventanas populares que hacen más versátil a esta distribución. Además desde hace unos días, Manjaro cuenta con un sabor nuevo, un sabor con MATE, lo que hace que los usuarios puedan funcionar con la versión antigua de Gnome 2 sin tener que abandonar Manjaro o realizando instalaciones difíciles.

Para aquellos que quieran conseguir el disco de instalación de esta tercera release candidate de Manjaro 15.09, en este enlace obtendréis los archivos y descargas necesarias, pero recordad que aún no es la versión estable oficial de la distribución, por lo que es algo arriesgado usarlo en equipos de producción.

Will The Government Listen To The Market And Lower Streaming Music Royalty Rates?

I have written extensively about the efforts of the recording industry to squeeze blood from the streaming music industry stone by attempting to get allies in Congress and the White House to increase the royalty rate paid by streaming companies like Pandora, Apple, Amazon.com, Spotify, Google Play Music, and other companies.   The battle royale over the future of music streaming has taken a strange and potentially dangerous turn over the past month.

How Auction Mobility And Its Partners Are Disrupting The Auction Industry With Smart Mobile Tech

Boston-based Auction Mobility™ has seized the mega-trend of the 21st century—empowerment through smart mobile devices—to shed transparency upon and to disrupt the auction industry. It has eliminated the distinction between “live” and “in-person” auction buyers by enabling them to participate equally in auctions in real time via their smartphone and tablet apps. According to Doug Brenhouse, President and co-founder of the company, this is a “huge development for the world of auctions that allows buyers to bid on items from wherever they are, more easily than if they were sitting just feet from the auctioneer. Expanding the global reach of auction houses in a world where access to unique inventory is increasingly in demand better serves collectors, consignors, and the auction houses themselves.”
