Surface Pro: Twice the Price, Half the Battery Life

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 16:00:00 +0000

It hasn’t been long since the Microsoft Surface hit stores and started being picked apart by every technology pundit and reviewer out there. The dream of a Microsoft-produced computer that ran Windows has been in the back of the minds of many a Windows user for decades. The reality of the situation was a bit disappointing to some.
Perhaps the last commercial hope for the Surface brand might come by way of the Microsoft Surface Pro. With a next generation Intel Core i5 multi-core processor onboard, the performance issues seen with the less-powerful Microsoft Surface should be mitigated. That’s the hope, at least. The addition of a full version of Windows 8 rather than the stripped-down mobile Windows RT also puts the Surface Pro at an interesting advantage.
So, what’s the price of this highly-anticipated item going to be?

$899 – Microsoft Surface Pro 64 GB
$999 – Microsoft Surface Pro 128 GB

This information was confirmed by the Official Microsoft Blog and I’m personally very surprised at this development. It was expected for some time that the starting price for the Microsoft Surface Pro would be around $999, but at $899 it feels like a tiny bit less of a punch to the wallet than expected.
The Surface Pro comes with Windows 8 Pro (the equivalent of Windows 7 Ultimate Edition on the new OS) as well as the Surface pen, a stylus which is used (in addition to palm blocking technology) to make note taking a little easier for the user during meetings. It could also prove useful for an artist wishing to jot down concepts while they’re out and about.

Downsides to the Surface Pro

Even at $899, it’s a high price to pay for what consumers see and perceive as a tablet computer. It’s a hard sell to push something the size of a netbook at a costs closer to that of an Ultrabook. In addition, the battery life on the Surface Pro will suffers due to the more power-hungry Core i5 processor. It’s currently estimated that the Surface Pro will have just four hours of battery life. This is a far cry from the nearly 10 hours most larger (and less pricy) tablet computers on the market currently boast.
Touch covers are still sold separately, so the $899 entry-level price is actually just a starting point. If you want a keyboard, you’ll be looking at a price in the low four figures at minimum.
I’m still not sold on the Surface as a first-generation product. Early adopters have been burned by the Surface already, and I would hate to recommend anything that hasn’t had at least a generation or two of development behind it. 90 days isn’t a very long time to learn from the mistakes of the first Surface, and introducing a more powerful processor and additional RAM doesn’t exactly fix what comes down to software optimization. Granted, Microsoft does have the ability to fix a lot of these issues through software updates, but you should never buy anything on the hopes and promise that updates will eventually come.
Are you going to buy a Surface Pro?

Is windows defender enought to protect me form virus

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 22:00:00 +0000

Alot of people ask the question is this software going to protect me from virus or is it a scam.

As alot of Microsoft Windows users would know Microsoft Windows has built in Anti-virus protection called Windows Defender.

Recently some people on twitter have been asking me is it good enought to protect me for viruses the anwser is yes Windows Defender is free and built into Windows It offers realtime updating i.e as soon as a virus a launched Microsoft Will update Windows Defender to cope with the virus and remove the threat

In conclustion Windows Defender Will Protect but only if you have your firewall and Windows Defender turnerd on

Portabee is a $480 3D printer aimed at mainstream buyers

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:00:00 +0000

There has been a lot of discussion this year about how 3D printers are being targeted directly at individual consumers. Words like “affordable” and “inexpensive” have been tossed around a lot. The MakerBot Replicator 2, for example, is $2000 — not exactly cheap but a few years ago you’d be hard pressed to find any kind of sophisticated 3D printer for under $5000. The rhetoric may be getting a little bit ahead of itself though, because while $2000 marks a notable price reduction it’s still out of the reach of most hobbyists. That’s where Portabee comes in. Its aim is not to be the most amazing 3D printer on the market. It might not even win any awards, but its stated case is that none of that matters if people are unable to buy it. At just $480 plus shipping, it is less expensive than many computers yet it can still perform the basic functions that a novice 3D printing enthusiast needs. Its limitations include the ability to use only one color material at a time, and it can only print things as big as an average mug. In addition, it doesn’t have a fancy interface — it’s meant to be a basic tool that can build your creations as cost-effectively as possible. One differentiating factor, though, is that it it completely portable. It weighs just 6.2 pounds and can be folded down to fit inside the included carrying case. It claims to be the first “portable 3D printer in the world.” It uses PLA and ABS plastic materials, which are pretty standard for 3D printing. It is compatible with SD cards for loading up print jobs. It takes about three weeks to ship and can be purchased in the link below.

Wii U expected to be sold out through March

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 21:30:00 +0000

If you are planning on waiting until you can just walk into the store and pick up a Wii U, you’ll probably have to wait at least until March. The console is expected to remain sold out, with customers likely to still be lining up outside the door for new shipments until the spring of 2013. That is the prediction from outspoken gaming industry analyst Michael Pachter. He has a mixed track record about gauging the near future of the industry, but he did correctly predict that the Wii U wouldn’t gain the critical acclaim that Nintendo was hoping for. Instead, the system’s launch was plagued with criticism for the arduous setup process, the need for an immediate firmware update, and the lack of video streaming services. Nevertheless, the Wii U is the first new video game console in six years. Never before in the modern gaming era has there been that kind of gap in between consoles, and as a result the fervor is inevitable. That being said, there is a marked difference in the climate surrounding the Wii U than there was for the Wii, or even the Xbox 360 or PS3. Back then, video game consoles were king. They were the coolest things around. Now, they have to share that attention with iPads and Kindle Fires. In other words, the Wii U is going to do exceptional during the first several months — just because that’s the way this industry works — but its staying power is what’s really in question.

No, Mozilla did not just kill Firefox x64 for Windows

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:30:00 +0000

Over at TheNextWeb, it’s been reported that Mozilla has “quietly killed” the 64-bit build of Firefox for Windows. There has never been a stable release, however. The 64-bit build has been limited to Mozilla’s Nightly and branch builds — like the Firefox UX build where the new Australis theme first appeared. TNW’s Emil Protalinski noted in his post that Firefox engineering manager Benjamin Smedberg ”had declared that the 64-bit version of Firefox for Windows would never see the light of day,” but that’s not actually the case. Indeed, the title of the related Bugzilla item tells a different story: “Disable windows 64 builds for now” (emphasis added). Mozilla hasn’t come out this week and said that there is no future for 64-bit Firefox on Windows. Instead, it’s a question of whether or not there’s enough return on the investment to continue offering the x64 Nightly builds to testers. According to some in the community, as much as 50% of Mozilla’s testing base was browsing with the Windows x64 build. Those folks can, of course, move safely back to the 32-bit build as long as they don’t need a browser that can address more than 4GB of memory. That should only pose a problem if you keep a massive number of tabs open in any given browsing session, say 50 to 100. Those with more mundane needs that just want early access to bleeding-edge features in Firefox should be able to run the 32-bit nightly builds without noticing any real difference. Smedberg notes several reasons that the decision was made. Plug-ins are currently a major headache — some common ones lack a stable 64-bit build, and some of those that do aren’t working correctly because Firefox lacks certain required features. That’s leading to additional freezing and crashing. Mozilla’s crash stats system also can’t easily tell which reports are from 32-bit users and which are from 64-bit users, which causes additional grief for coders who are trying to correct issues. “The needs of the many must outweigh the needs of the few or the one,” said a wise, pointed-eared man. Mozilla needs to focus on 32-bit builds of Firefox for Windows because that’s the biggest, most critical piece of its user base. Firefox x64 isn’t dead, it’s just going to disappear from the nightlies at some point in the near future. It will be back some time later in 2013, but in the meantime Windows users should know that there’s an alternative which doesn’t require leaving Mozilla in the lurch. Check out WaterFox or Palemoon: both are 64-bit custom builds of Firefox for Windows.

Nintendo finally gets R4 carts completely banned in Japan

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 20:30:00 +0000

Piracy on the Nintendo DS was a relatively easy and cheap affair. All you needed was access to an R4 cartridge and a few torrents, and you could amass hundreds of games for less than the cost of one. Nintendo was understandably not happy with the situation and decided to take legal action as well as updating its hardware in a bid to curb the piracy. Version 1.4 of the DSi firmware rendered flash cards unusable back in 2009, then the R4 carts were made illegal in the UK in 2010, and with the launch of the 3DS Nintendo included auto-pat

ching to try and stop piracy before it started, but it didn’t work. Even with the updates and legal action, the R4 cart lives on, but Nintendo has now scored a major victory by helping to get them banned completely in the company’s home territory of Japan. It’s actually the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry that has imposed a ban on importing the cartridges, but Nintendo is behind the push to make this happen. The carts were already banned from sale in Japan, but not import, meaning they could still flood the market just not through official retail channels. Now they are completely blocked. This may be good news for Nintendo and the continued sales of both official DS and 3DS $169.99 at Kmart titles, but the R4 carts did have another purpose: homebrew game development. They allowed unofficial games created for Nintendo devices to be tested on actual hardware. With this total ban, that also becomes a lot harder to do.

The LG Nexus 4 has LTE after all

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:30:00 +0000

The modders and hacker community working within the Android ecosystem have a rich history of enabling features that the manufacturers say aren’t available on certain phones. Sometimes it’s recording 720p video at 30fps, while other times it’s changes to how the radio on a phone works in order to gain better service. In the case of the Nexus 4, a phone which has been railed on recently for lacking LTE, it has been discovered that the dormant LTE radio on the motherboard is capable of delivering LTE speeds in certain circumstances. The network diagnostics menu hidden in the dialler of most phones, which can be accessed by entering “*#*#4636#*#*”, will grant you access to a screen where you can choose to enable the LTE radio on the phone. Alternatively, the Phone Info app in the Play Store will grant you access to the same menu without needing to enter the code into the dialler every time. Once you have activated LTE, so long as your carrier is pushing LTE to the AWS spectrum in your area, you should be able to use the high speed low latency goodness. There aren’t many places in the world currently using the 1700MHz and 2100MHz bands to push LTE speeds. T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless in the US all have plans to utilize those bands, but access is limited by location. Unfortunately, those are the bands that the LG Nexus 4 has access to, which could explain why the feature is dormant. Since the radio also lacks an amplifier on the board, any access you have to these frequencies will be significantly weaker than an iPhone 5 enjoys, for example. There’s also a slight legal issue in the US. The LG Nexus 4 was not approved by the FCC to use LTE spectrum. Since the users don’t have to apply a hack in the traditional sense to access the feature, it is unclear as to whether or not the LG Nexus 4 is in trouble with the FFC now that this feature has been enabled. Since the feature is not advertised or supported in any way by Google or LG, it’s quite possible that nothing will come of this discovery and users can continue on enjoying their newly found bonus feature.

Samsung stops supplying Apple with batteries for iPad/MacBook

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 17:00:00 +0000

Apple may be the company taking most of the legal action against Samsung, but it looks as though Samsung is the one making business decisions to move away from supplying Apple. Back in October, Samsung terminated its LCD contract with Apple. That was significant because Samsung is Apple’s largest supplier of displays, shipping tens of millions to the company every year. Now, the contract termination seems to be extending, as Samsung has stopped supplying Apple with batteries for the iPad and MacBook laptops. The details are limited, but it seems Samsung stopped the supply rather than Apple initiating this. Apple has now called upon other manufacturing partners, including Amperex Technology Limited and Tianjin Lishen Battery, to make up the difference–a difference that must account for millions of batteries. There was also a rumour, and one some in Samsung has denied, that it had raised Apple chip production prices 20 percent. But whether that is true or not, it is very clear that both Apple and Samsung are breaking away from each other as the lawsuits continue. Who does this hurt more? I’d say Apple. Samsung will obviously miss the revenue gained from large Apple orders, but you could argue it no longer needs them due to the growing success of the company’s Galaxy range of devices. There’s also not going to be a shortage of other brand devices needing displays, batteries, and chips manufactured. Apple on the other hand needs to secure availability of its very popular devices to avoid a shortage and missed sales opportunities. And Samsung was capable of meeting most of that demand. The supply chain for Apple is weaker without having them as a supplier in the short term at least.

Facebook Launches Job-Listing App

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 14:00:00 +0000

Facebook has launched a job-hunting app in hopes that its network of more than 1 billion users will help people find their next career opportunity. The Social Jobs app announced on Wednesday is a result of Facebook’s year-old partnership with the U.S. Department of Labor, the National Association of Colleges and Employers, DirectEmployers Association, and the National Association of State Workforce Agencies. The app has job listings from other online job boards like BranchOut, DirectEmployers Association, Work4Labs, Jobvite and Monster.com. Right now, users can browse through more than 1.7 million openings. A ticker at the top of the app shows the exact number of available jobs. So will a site typically considered a casual social network be useful for professional purposes? Facebook is a repository for users’ day-to-day activities, including updates that might be inappropriate if you’re using the site to look for a job. There have been cases where people have lost their jobs because of updates they posted on Facebook, and employers have gotten sued for asking for their employees’ Facebook passwords. Sites like LinkedIn are built to cater to people’s professional identities, targeting very specific qualities — skills, past jobs, languages spoken, and more — that someone might want to highlight when searching for a job or presenting themselves to recruiters. Unlike LinkedIn, Facebook has a very hazy boundary between social and professional. But the Social Jobs partnership found in its research that Facebook is a useful site for both job hunters and recruiters. In a survey of 530 employers, the National Association of Colleges and Employers found that half of employers use Facebook in the hiring process, and more than half anticipate it becoming a more important tool for finding and recruiting talent. The vast majority said that Facebook helps decrease print advertising for job openings, and that the site can be used as a networking tool to get jobs. That said, Facebook isn’t actually hosting the job listings. At launch, the app functions more as an aggregated search tool than anything else. Users can find jobs through the app, but once they try to learn more about a job, it points them to another app. The Work4Labs listings, for example, often links back to the hiring company’s Facebook page. If someone wanted to apply for the Head of Lighting position at Cirque Du Soleil, the new Social Jobs app would link to the Cirque Du Soleil hiring page on Facebook. The user would have to access the separate Work4Labs app if they wanted to see if anyone in their network could refer them. Should they want to apply, they would get pointed all the way back to Cirque Du Soleil’s official website. It’s far from a seamless process, and there are several other glitches (Monster jobs showing up in the Work4Labs page, links going to a company’s Facebook Timeline, etc.). There is a lot of potential for Facebook to connect users to jobs — and create another source of revenue in the process. But in its current state, Facebook’s Social Jobs app is more of an extra side tool than an actual player in the job-hunting space.

Chrome OS update brings dual monitor support

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 12:48:00 +0000

Have one of those new bargain-priced Chrome OS laptops convinced you that it’s time to take a chance on Google’s browser-based OS? If so, then you’ll be happy to know that those HDMI ports will come in handy. In the most recent update to Chrome OS, Google has delivered dual monitor support so that you can mirror or extend your Chrome book's display. At first glance, it might not seem like there’s a real need for a secondary display on an inexpensive system built for browsing. After all, it doesn’t offer the same kind of muscle even a low-end Intel Core i3 processor achieves. But even on the first-gen Chrome books, it’s still nice to know that you can now look at two tabs simultaneously — provided, of course, that you can find the requisite cable (not so easy with the original Samsung Series 5 ). Once you’re hooked up, you’re free to drop the Chrome OS media player on one screen while you browse for Black Friday deals on the other… or play your favourite browser-based games while keeping a Gmail or Facebook window open nearby so that you can see when your friends are trying to get in touch with you. For business users, this also means that you can actually use a Chrome book to run a presentation now. Fire up an app like Slide Share and turn mirroring on, hook up your projector, and you’re good to go. At the end of the day, Chrome OS is still basically a bootable web browser. But with each passing update, Google’s getting closer and closer to a lightweight OS that offers users nearly the same functionality as Windows or OS X — as long as you can find web apps (or Native Client apps) that compare favourably with your current desktop standards.

Puzzlebox Orbit is a toy helicopter you control with your brain

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 09:30:00 +0000

Brain control If you have ever taken one of those classes in college that aims to, for example, teach you “physics as related to popular movies,” then you’ve already experienced what “fun education” is supposed to be like. Now, with a Kickstarter campaign that already reached its funding goal, educational company Puzzlebox aims to give everyone the chance to own a toy helicopter you control with your brain, and learn something along the way. Rather than teaching you how Spider-Man should actually be able to swing around New York like in that college course, Puzzlebox includes educational hardware and software guides with each helicopter. Dubbed the Puzzlebox Orbit, the goal of the toy is to not only make you feel like you have telekinetic powers, but to learn something about building and customizing your own hardware and software. Puzzlebox aims to release lessons on how brain-controlled devices actually work, as well as how infrared signals can pilot the helicopter. With the Puzzlebox Orbit, Puzzlebox is testing their hypothesis that this kind of product can not only be a successful educational tool, but be commercially viable. Now that the project has hit its goal, Puzzlebox will freely release and distribute all of the material related to the Orbit, such as hardware schematics and source code. Puzzlebox Orbit The Orbit is a toy helicopter encased in a protective orb, in order to prevent the toy’s blades from bumping into objects it might fly into. Puzzlebox notes that while RC helicopters have a reputation for being fragile, their Orbit has survived multiple falls and crashes throughout the testing process. Puzzlebox is offering two models of brain-controlled helicopter — one that can be controlled with smartphones and tablets, and one self-contained unit that comes with the pyramid stand pictured above. The units are controlled via a NeuroSky MindWave Mobile EEG headset, but simply use a different base of communications — a mobile device or the pyramid. The Orbit receives infrared signals from either communications base, but the pyramid station is capable of sending out infrared signals that can be programmed to control other IR-based toys, or even a television. Now, your brain can’t tell the helicopter to fly in complicated aerial patterns. However, different patterns — such as hovering, or flying across a room — can be set to specific mental states that are measured by the headset. Once the specific mental state is maintained, the signal is sent off to the helicopter, and the Orbit flies in the appropriate pattern. Though the project has already met its minimum funding goal of $10,000, there are still 16 days left to back the project, and some neat rewards for doing so. A small pledge of $10 will get your name added to a list of sponsors included on the website and within the software, whereas a pledge of $149 will net you an Orbit system along with NeuroSky headset. If you want to back the project, or are simply interested in learning more, head on over to the Kickstarter page before the funding phase is over in a couple weeks.

Apple Adds Even More Samsung Devices in California Lawsuit

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 26 Nov 2012 09:00:00 +0000

Apple on Friday added six new Samsung devices to its lawsuit in California, just a few days after the Korean company added the iPhone 5 to its own list of infringing devices. It’s quite obvious neither company is willing to back down from its claims, and in fact both continue to dig deeper in their fight to protect their precious creations — with great power comes great… litigation battles? According to FOSS Patents, Apple has brought new claims against the Galaxy S III (with Jelly Bean), Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Tab 8.9 Wi-Fi, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Rugby Pro and Galaxy S III mini. Apple only just filed the request on Friday, so we’ll see if the court approves the addition of the new devices. And so goes the deteriorating relationship between the two companies. My guess is we’ll be hearing about this one for a long, long, long time to come

Microsoft patent reveals possible Google Glass competitor

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 25 Nov 2012 00:00:00 +0000

In the wearable tech and augmented reality space, few pieces of hardware are making as much noise right now as Google’s Project Glass. It turns out jumping out of a blimp and parachuting to the top of a convention center wearing an unreleased piece of technology has that effect. Naturally, there’s an expectation that Google’s competition will try and grab some of that spotlight. A new patent application (20120293548) submitted by Microsoft for a wearable gadget designed to overlay information onto a live event seems to be the latest attempt at turning heads away from Mountain View. Unlike the Project Glass headsets that are designed for all day use, Microsoft’s patent describes a use case where glasses are put on for specific events. Take, for example, a baseball game where the glasses would reveal player statistics and some live social integration. Or, during a pre-determined intermission at a concert the glasses would show guided directions to merchants or concessions. Not necessarily something you would wear all day, every day, which no doubt would appeal to users unwilling or unable to wear a computer at all times. There’s also the potentially more exciting option, which is a real time heads up display for the Xbox, bringing you one step deeper inside whatever game you are playing. This patent was originally filed for in May of 2011, so there’s no real knowing what Microsoft has in store for wearable tech, or if the company was just snatching up a patent to use against other companies. As we move towards seeing companies adopt augmented reality as a value add to their products, it seems unlikely that Microsoft would just stand by and miss out on the opportunity to get in the wearable tech game early. As with any form of technology, the more competition there is the faster innovation will drive exciting new things for everyone to play with.

Are Torrents Illegal ? And if so how can we stop them ?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 18:23:00 +0000

Torrents are an easy way to transfer large file however as soon as someone mentions the word torrent they think its illegal because alot of people use it to download illegal files like games and movies but torrents are legal it just depends on how you use them.There are many torrent programs out there that are legal but if you use them to download illegal files then your in trouble. torrent files are usualy 2-6 kilobytes and when you run them it launches the program you have installed for torrents and will automatically start download the required file.

So in conclusion torrents are same and legal if you use them them in the right way and don’t download any illegal content

Have You Had The iPhone 5 or iPod Touch (5th Gen) Scroll Glitch

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:28:00 +0000

Published reports suggesting that there’s a bug on the iPhone 5 and the fifth generation iPod touch that prevents response to touchscreen input after a user rapidly swipes his or her finger across the screen diagonally. TheNextWeb suggests it could be caused by Apple’s implementation of a software feature that prevents a user from accidentally scrolling on the screen with his or her thumb, but also points out it might be related to the new in-cell displays used on the iPhone 5 and the fifth generation iPod touch. For now, however, it appears there’s no real explanation.

Should I upgarde to Windows 8 or not ?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:00:00 +0000

Q. Should I upgrade my PC or Tablet to Windows 8 or should I keep the operating system I am currently running? A. Windows 8 is mostly designed for Tablets however it can be run on a laptop or desktop and you can use a mouse a keyboard to use it. I recommend installing it on a tablet or trying it out in a virtual machine to see if you like the modern UI. Windows 8 may take some time to adjust to as there is no start menu instead it is replaced by a start screen with live tiles that display important information like the news the weather and more. so in conclusion if you have a tablet pc you should upgrade as it costs only £24.99 to download and 46.99 to but the disks however you can upgrade your Desktop or Laptop if you so desire

Facebook Phone ?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 03 Nov 2012 17:32:00 +0000

HTC and Facebook are apparently coming together to make a Facebook phone in the Facebook colours

One of the tech world’s favourite on again/off again rumors is back on, Geek readers, with Pocket-Lint claiming it has a source that has confirmed there definitely is a Facebook Phone being built for Facebook by HTC. That distinction is important, of course, because the previous Facebook phones that wound up hitting the market actually turned out to be HTC phones with dedicated Facebook buttons on them. This new phone has shown up in the NenaMark database as the HTC Opera UL.

It comes as no surprise that it’s got a codename: badging it as the HTC Facebook Phone would have raised a few too many eyebrows at this stage of the game.

Since the handset popped up on NenaMark, a few key details about its hardware have been revealed. HTC looks to be using a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon Plus SoC clocked at 1.4GHz, which isn’t specifically revealed, but lines up with the phone’s Adreno 305 GPU, which is called out. The 28nm chip also features integrated Bluetooth 4.0 and 802.11n Wi-Fi, which have become fairly standard on today’s smartphones. And like most other solid smartphones on the market, the Opera UL sports a 1280 x 720 display. Its diagonal measurement is not yet known, so there’s no way to guess how its pixel density will match up with the competition. Then again, those internals do sound a bit like what’s in the HTC 8X — so perhaps the Opera UL is a re-tooled version that will still feature a 4.3-inch 342ppi display.

Previous rumors had pegged the Facebook Phone to be coming sometime in the middle of 2013, but Mark Zuckerberg quickly shot those down. A phone just doesn’t make any sense, he claimed, and perhaps it still doesn’t. Perhaps the Opera UL will turn out to be the HTC Salsa 2.0 with better internals and a design (possibly including a coat of blue paint like the 8S above) that’s more likely to attract customers.
