Two new notebooks have become official today during Samsung’s CES press event. They are both part of the company’s most high-end 9 series, and they share the same design and two color versions: Iron Silver and Modern Pink. They will be out in “select markets” in early 2016.
The smaller model has a 13.3-inch 1080p screen, 4 or 8GB of RAM, a 128 or 256GB SSD, a 720p webcam, two USB 3.0 ports, micro HDMI, mini Ethernet, mini VGA, a 3-in-1 card slot (SD, SDHC, SDXC), and a combo headphone/microphone jack. Its dimensions are 313.8 x 218.5 x 13.4 mm, and it weighs just 840g. It runs Windows 10 and has CPU options up to an Intel Core i7. Battery life is claimed to be up to 10 hours on one charge.
The bigger 15-inch laptop has the same resolution, RAM, CPU, and storage amount choices, and the same camera. It does however sport one USB Type-C port, along with two USB 3.0, an HDMI connector, mini Ethernet, a microSD card slot, and a combo headphone / microphone jack. This notebook measures 346.5 x 236.8 x 14.5 mm, and it weighs 1.29kg. Its battery life is said to be up to 12 hours on one charge, and its built-in quick charging feature will let you fully charge it in only 20 minutes.
Both devices have Underwriters Laboratories certified ergonomic keyboards, low-reflective screens with “superior brightness”, as well as some enhanced security features like Security Cam which uses the webcam to take photos and send them to a predefined email address in case of theft. And Pattern Log-in, Secret Screen, and Record Block will apparently help you protect your private files and…

Qualcomm shared some interesting news today with the press at CES in Las Vegas and spilled the beans on the first Snapdragon 820 smartphone – the LeTV Le Max Pro.
The first announcement was the automotive version of the Snapdragon 820 chip called Snapdragon 820Am. It is capable of processing simultaneously huge amounts of data – it can track the driver’s movements via sensors and cameras, output picture on few 4K displays, provide real-time navigation and assistance, among other things.
The vanilla smartphone version of the Snapdragon 820 chip was showcased as part of an unlikely pioneer – a phone by the Chinese company LeTV, a relative newcomer to the smartphone market. The Letv Le Max Pro will be featuring the ultrasonic fingerprint technology made possible by the chipset and it will also support WiFi ad. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any more details about the phone aside from those tiny bits.
In case you need a refresher, the Snapdragon 820 is a departure from the current gen of chipsets, and features a custom-designed 2.2GHz quad-core Kryo processor, a better Adreno 530 GPU, Quick Charge 3.0, tri-band Wi-Fi, LTE Cat.12 connectivity, among many other novelties.

In classic Samsung fashion, the company has taken a regular product and outfitted it with some fancy materials. Samsung has announced that the Gear S2 Classic is getting an expensive treatment, with new 18 karat Rose Gold and Platinum models coming soon.
The Rose Gold model will come with an ivory genuine leather band, and the Platinum model will come with a black genuine leather band. Both will be available in February, though a price wasn’t named. I’ll assume they won’t be cheap. Are you interested in shelling out big bucks for wearables? Does investing a lot of money in a device that quickly becomes obsolete seem worth it to you?

Twitter, la red social con más de 100 millones de usuarios activos por día, anuncia hoy uno de sus mayores cambios que ha sufrido hasta el momento. Twitter debe su éxito gracias a ser una red social rápida y sencilla, es decir, es una forma de expresar información u otro contenido de una forma breve, instantánea y para todo el mundo, en la que además su contenido está clasificado mediante hashtags.
Pero esto está a punto de cambiar. Según un post de The Wall Street Journal, Twitter planea ampliar su restricción de 140 caracteres a 10.000 caracteres en un mismo tweet, cambiando así una de sus normas básicas que hacen de la red social tan especial. Algunos de sus usuarios coinciden en que Twitter es lo que es gracias a la síntesi obligada del contenido a publicar en 140 caracteres, provocando así una forma genial de anunciar contenido de la forma más resumida posible.
Siguiendo las directrices del rumor, Twitter mejorará su timeline con una nueva interfaz, en la que sus nuevos tweets se mostrarán con un botón de “mostrár más” si su contenido tiene más de 140 caracteres. Por lo tanto, seguirá más o menos el esquema de Youtube o Facebook, en los que una entrada demasiado larga solo se muestra la parte inicial de su contenido.
Última hora, Jack Dorsey, CEO de Twitter, publica el primer tweet de más de 140 caracteres:
http://pic.twitter.com/bc5RwqPcAX
— Jack (@jack) 5 gener, 2016

Hasta ahora, algunos de sus usuarios habían optado por diferentes métodos para ampliar la información de sus tweets, como capturas de pantalla con texto, o una serie de cadenas de tweets publicados uno tras otro que en conjunto forman un texto (las nombradas tweetstorms). Al parecer, Twitter se ha cansado de tales tweets y ha decidido acabar con ello, con esta expansión de 9860 letras más.
De hecho, todo empezó cuando en julio Twitter permitía por primera vez más de 140 caracteres en los tweets privados, concretamente, 10.000 caracteres, justamente los que ahora van a estar permitidos. También hay que comentar que muchos de sus usuarios llevan años pidiendo esta expansión, la mayoría argumentando esta falta de expresión en sus tweets impedida por esos 140 caracteres.
En conclusión, la batalla del sí o el no a la ampliación de caracteres parece que llega a su fin tras meses de discusión, entrometida por el retorno de su cofundador Jack Dorsey en Junio de este año. ¿Qué opinas tú?
¿Quieres más caracteres en Twitter? ¿Lo dejarías como está?
¿Y tú que piensas? Pásate por Twitter pasa página, el límite de 140 caracteres será eliminado para dejar tu huella.

At its CES event today, Samsung has announced a couple of already leaked new versions of its Gear S2 Classic smartwatch, which was initially made official back in September of last year.
One of the new variations is plated with 18K rose gold, while the other is plated with platinum. These will thus be the most exclusive iterations of Samsung’s latest smartwatch, so don’t expect them to retail for the same price as the normal version.
Both models will become available at some point in February, and the insides will remain the same as for the original Gear S2 Classic. The Rose Gold version will be paired with an Ivory genuine leather band, while the Platinum one will come with a black genuine leather band.
Some new watch faces will be on these wearables, including one featuring Peanuts characters, as well as others with artworks from Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jeremyville, and Burton Morris. And through Samsung’s new partnership with “exclusive designers” such as Colombo you’ll also see new premium watch straps for the Gear…
