Apple-Samsung rivalry intensifies with September device launches

iPhone 5S needs leading-edge innovation to stand out from cheaper, near-equal Androids, analysts said Computerworld - Apple's unveiling of its iPhone 5S is expected Sept. 10, just six days after Samsung's launch in Germany of its next Galaxy gadget, probably a Note III smartphone-tablet. While the two products aren't directly comparable, the timing of the two announcements is another reminder of the intense rivalry between Apple and Samsung. The South Korean device maker is clearly putting pressure on Apple to produce exciting new products at each launch and to differentiate iPhones from a wide range of Android phones made by Samsung and others, analysts said. "Even though the [new Samsung and Apple] phones aren't directly comparable, Samsung's launch timing was designed to steal attention away from Apple's new iPhones," said Patrick Moorhead, an analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy. "Samsung didn't want to give Apple an unencumbered

Is this it? Photo purportedly shows Apple 'iPhone 5C'

  Apple is reportedly straying from its standard strategy this fall and launching not one, but two new iPhone handsets. The flagship model will be the iPhone 5S, which is said to feature a design similar to the iPhone 5 with the addition of a faster processor, a better camera, a fingerprint scanner and possibly a new champagne color option. The second is the more affordable “iPhone 5C,” high-quality photos of which were recently published by insider Sonny Dickson. Now Dickson is back with a new photo gallery -- this time showing the iPhone 5C shell in green. No new details are revealed by the images, though they once again support earlier rumors that the new entry-level iPhone will be made available in a variety of colors. Apple’s next-generation iPhone 5S will be unveiled during a press conference on September 10 and the new iPhone 5C will likely debut at the same event. Additional photos of the iPhone 5C shell follow below and the rest can be found on Dickson’s website, wh

Amnesty Int’l Says Lagos Govt. Must Stop Forceful Eviction Of Residents

Amnesty International has insisted that the Lagos state government must stop its forceful eviction of some selected residents of Lagos by demolishing their buildings. It is estimated that close to 9,000 residents of Badia East lost their homes or livelihoods. However senior officials in the Lagos state government had claimed that the area was a rubbish dump. New evidence from satellite images reveals the true extent of a forced eviction in Badia East, Lagos – one of Africa’s two megacities. The pictures, taken before and after demolitions carried out by the Lagos state government on 23 February 2013, clearly show that a densely populated area containing concrete houses and other structures was razed to the ground. A new report by Amnesty International and the Social and Economic Rights Action Centre (SERAC) looks at the impact of the demolitions and documents the failings of the Lagos state government. According to Oluwatosin Popoola who is Amnesty International’s Nigeria resea

If Corporate Logos Were Honest These are what you’ll get

#15 Facebook Hey, we all use Facebook whether it be once in a while or several times per day; but this is honestly what the logo should say.   #14 MTV When MTV first launched in 1981 it was known as a station that would not only empower America's youth, but also provide them with the latest and greatest in the world of music.

The Dangers Of Over-Exercising

#15 Too Much Of A Good Thing? Exercise can be compared to a remedy. The remedy is very effective for weight management and overall health, and it also keeps the body from injuring itself during everyday, light activities. However too much of any remedy can turn into a bad thing. Trainers only recommend intense exercise sessions in small doses because over-exercising can damage our bodies both chemically and physically. Remember, exercise is a reward! It shouldn’t be a compensation for poor eating habits. Health experts warn that too many people believe that they can eat whatever they want because they can just exercise harder and longer to make up for it. Over-exercising has a number of detrimental effects on our bodies, many of which people are unaware of.   #14 Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness One of the many side effects of over-exercising is that it affects muscle tissue. Exercising too much can impair the ability of muscles to naturally and quickly heal themselves afte
