Google has been accused of breaking its student privacy pledge by collecting data and browsing habits from Chromebooks used in schools and Google Apps for Education. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has called upon the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate Google’s conduct, and to prevent it from using the data it has collected so far. “Despite publicly
British multinational banking and financial services firm HSBC has said that Taiwanese company TSMC will be the exclusive manufacturer of Apple’s A10 SoC. The chipset is expected to power the Cupertino-based company’s next generation of iPhones (the iPhone 7 series).
This is inline with some of the earlier reports that echoed the same sentiments, while also noting that the chip-maker will begin the mass production of the A10 in March next year. It’s worth mentioning that the A9 chipset used in the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus was manufactured by both TSMC and Samsung, with the former’s variant outperforming the latter’s in some benchmarking tests.
HSBC also noted that the A10 exclusivity will translate into $300 million in sales for the Taiwanese chip-maker next year, and around a billion dollars the year after. The company’s overall revenue is expected to increase by around 8% in…
From reusable rockets to putting a man on mars, the privatization of space flight could create an investment opportunity that’s much more than science fiction.
Cada vez son más las firmas que intentan hacerse un hueco –por pequeño que sea– en el mercado tecnológico y en el de la telefonía móvil. MyWigo es una de ellas, y aunque es posible que fuera de nuestras fronteras no sea muy conocida, poco a poco en España se va haciendo un nombre.
Hoy os traemos el MyWigo UNO PRO, un phablet que viene a luchar por la cada vez más reñida gama media. Ilusión a los chicos de MyWigo no les falta, pero, ¿tendrán todo lo demás para poder triunfar? ¡Quédate con nosotros para averiguarlo!
Características y especificaciones técnicas
Nos encontramos ante un terminal de 15,3 cm x 7,7 cm x 6,9 mm y un peso de 150 gramos. Su diseño no trae grandes sorpresas, salvo un grosor bastante interesante que hace que el terminal pese a su tamaño de pantalla, no sea excesivamente grande.
En su interior tenemos un procesador MediaTek Octacore 6753 con una Mali T720 y 3 GB de RAM. Contamos con un almacenamiento de 16 GB ampliables vía microSD –el propio terminal trae una de 16 GB– y una batería de 2.950 mAh que se comporta bastante bien, llegando sin problemas al final del día.
Tenemos además una pantalla de 5,5 pulgadas IPS con resolución FHD que se ve increíblemente bien. Una resolución muy común en muchos de los terminales de hoy en día pero que funciona a las mil maravillas. Respecto al apartado sonoro, no es extraordinario pero cumple.
Donde si tenemos que estirar de las orejas a los chicos de MyWigo es en el apartado de la cámara. Una cámara trasera de 13 megapíxeles bastante justa, con fotos borrosas, mal enfoque y lenta; muy por debajo de la de otros terminales de gama media o del mismo precio.
Contaremos con Android 5.1 Lollipop prácticamente stock, con algunos añadidos como los gestos en pantalla o el doble toque para despertar al móvil, muy útiles por cierto. El terminal cuenta con bluetooth, dual sim, redes LTE y radio FM; pero por desgracia no tendremos ni NFC ni lector de huellas.

Estamos en definitiva ante un terminal equilibrado que no sobresale en casi ningún aspecto. El terminal cumple, no tiene grandes fallos –salvo su cámara– y todo funciona más o menos como debería de funcionar. No estamos ante el terminal más fluido de la historia, pero si que estamos ante un dispositivo equilibrado y balanceado, perfecto para el usuario medo que quiera una muy buena pantalla para consumir contenido multimedia.
Puntos positivos
Pantalla: Una configuración perfecta. Se ve realmente bien.
We’ve seen a lot of wearables hit the market in the past couple of years, but the majority have been watches and bands, with an occasional exception here and there. While the options have grown in variety, the market itself is still surprisingly homogenous. So how about wearables for your feet?
Enter ShiftWear, an extremely intriguing new pair of shoes that integrates technology directly into the shoe itself. In fact, the sidewalls of the shoes are actually e-ink displays. That likely sounds like a crazy concept, and it is, but it’s just crazy enough to be ridiculously cool.
Putting e-ink displays into the sidewalls of the shoes enables customization of the shoe design on a whim. The displays connect to an app on your phone that allows you to simply change the design as you please. ShiftWear sneakers even support animation, which means that you can put animations on the sides of your shoes, making it an incredibly cool feature. You can also use static images, which, because of the e-ink technology, won’t use any power until you change them.
ShiftWear have batteries that last for roughly 30 days, give or take a bit depending on your use of animations. The company behind ShiftWear also has some interesting plans if it reaches certain funding levels. For example, if $2 million in funding is reached, the company will integrate a technology that allows ShiftWear to charge as you walk, using the energy from your steps. In addition to that, ShiftWear will also feature wireless charging if this funding level is reached.
ShiftWear is currently in active funding on Indiegogo, with pricing starting at $150 for the low-end pair of shoes, and going up to $350 for the most elaborate pair. The minimum funding goal of $25,000 has already been reached, and as mentioned, there are several different pricing tiers that add perks when reached.
Samsung’s Galaxy S lineup seems to get all the attention, but you should definitely check out the company’s new Galaxy A lineup for 2016 if you’re in the market for a great mid-range smartphone. The new Samsung Galaxy A7, A5 and A3 are all built with aluminum and glass, but the internal specifications of the phones are all slightly different, diminishing along with their screen sizes.
The Samsung Galaxy A7 sports the best list of specs, with a 5.5-inch FHD (1920×1080) Super AMOLED display, 1.6GHz octa-core processor, 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage, microSD card slot, fingerprint scanner, 13-megapixel main camera with optical image stabilization, 5-megapixel front-facing camera and 3,300mAh battery. The Galaxy A5′s specs get bumped down to a 5.2-inch FHD display with 2GB of RAM and a 2,900mAh battery, while the Galaxy A3 only has a 4.7-inch 720p display with 1.5GB of RAM and loses OIS and the fingerprint scanner.
Samsung is planning to release all three phones in China by the middle of this month, with global availability expected in early Q1 of 2016. Pricing for the three phones isn’t yet available, but we’re sure they will not be the cheapest mid-range smartphones once they do go on sale.
HTC has yet to announce when the re-worked HTC Grip will launch, but a new listing on the Bluetooth SIG product database shows that HTC and UnderArmour are working on a new fitness-focused device. Named the UA Scale, the new Bluetooth-enables smart scale will measure weight and body fat, likely transferring the data to UnderArmour’s UA Record app in your smartphone. The official product description reads: “HTC & UA provide a Bluetooth scale to measure weight and body fat.”
While smart scales are not a new concept, the few that are currently on the market are all basically the same. The Garmin Index Smart Scale and the FitBit Aria both measure weight, body mass index, body fat and muscle mass, keeping track of all the details in their respective apps while tracking your progress over time. If HTC and UnderArmour do get around to launching the HTC Grip, a Bluetooth connected smart scale seems to be the perfect companion product.
With the UnderArmour brand and marketing support, do you think HTC’s connected devices will be able to improve the company’s bottom line in 2016?
This week, Digitimes is reporting some supposedly inside info from Nintendo’s upstream supply chain that is meant to give us some insight into when the NX will arrive, and how much Nintendo and its partners expect it to sell.
Those who follow my blog posts here know I’ve been talking a lot about agility, including strategies for sizing up your company’s current agility profile, and how your company can become more agile through analytics. Now I’d like to discuss one of the big questions facing the analytics teams leading these efforts: How to manage their own work in ways that are as agile as the solutions they’re building for company colleagues. Agility, in other words, starts at home…in how we structure and manage our analytics projects to begin with.
