Samsung is trying everything, why not a flip phone?

Coming soon: Android mobile operating system that looks like the phone I had before there was Google.
Samsung is back with a new Galaxy family phone. According to a Korean language translation choppy digital daily basis, the new Samsung phone - the folder "Galaxy" - will be released in August in Korea as a low-end model. It will run the Google Android operating system with support LTE. It says it has a small screen and a physical keyboard.

Leaked photos show the cover design that evokes memories to take four and a half minutes to drill a line of text.

Why take a step back in time? Perhaps the design, with a smaller screen, cheaper and could do a good phone market entry in emerging markets outside of Korea as well. Perhaps the main terminal Jitterbug proves to be a success secret that Samsung simply can not ignore. We know that if we start to see ads for Samsung, plus Lipitor files in Smithsonian magazine.

Samsung has forged a different path in terms of design and its main rival, Apple. Samsung has created several games that appeal to niche markets, while his phone Cupertino competition designs using broadband consumers as possible.

Tumblr releases security patches "very important" for iOS

Tumblr launched an iOS app updated on Tuesday that includes a "security update important" to face an internal fault.

In a company blog, the micro-blogging site owned by Yahoo urged users of its iOS application "please download this update now" and change their passwords on the site as well as other places in which to use the same password.

The issue of security, the nature of which has not been described in the post, apparently does not apply to the version of Android that has been issued updates to this application.

Yahoo did not immediately respond to CNET's request for more information, but he said that TheNextWeb only became aware of the vulnerability Tuesday:

Today, Tumblr has been informed of a security implemented in our iOS application. Immediately issued an update that fixes the problem and inform the users. Obviously, we take these incidents very seriously and deeply regret this error.

The micro-blogging site, which boasts more than 300 million unique visitors per month, was acquired by Yahoo last month for $ 1.1 billion.

In Yahoo, style over substance and style was good - unusual

Marissa Mayer Yahoo CEO gets a B for trying something different: a live video Yahoo earnings in the second quarter. She always gets C for a woman for what was another boring report earnings. After a year at the helm, Mayer still has much work to do before we can declare mission accomplished.

Meanwhile, the show was interesting with some style, though this style was sometimes quite bizarre. Think Hans and Franz, but the Yuks.

There is nothing in the rule book that says traditions can not be ignored, but there is a reason why most fail to television quarterly financial conference. With few exceptions, are dry as dust bore festivals, almost guaranteed to send normal people violent crisis narcolepsy. They are also full of selfish nonsense management by company X, Y or Z will inevitably promote the mystical qualities, magical and otherwise supercalifragilisticexpialidocious his henchmen.

So it is with Mayer, speaking of the teleprompter as she listed one after another superlative. Compliant but not surprising. (IE:. "Future of Yahoo's mobile") It was a little more attractive once the open Q & A Not for long, though it has much worse when CFO Ken Goldman took his turn in front of the camera...

Goldman, who flanked Mayer on the board, has a gold plating recovery and is a man of figures made. But the type is not public speaking. Goldman wood supply is bad enough. It also eats for polysyllabic words as he rushes through his lines. OK, Goldman was not hired to forget Cicero. I understand. But if Yahoo will leverage its CFO on the performance of your spreadsheet for this type of dog and the horse, then count style points. Especially when the substance is modest.

However, there was a complete wash. On the positive side both on "Saturday Night Live" and "The Daily Show" are now good fodder to use for future games.

The trial judge rejected the terms of service Instagram

A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Instagram the most controversial changes in the terms of service announced last year that many feared property awarded photos of users sharing service popular photos.

In a ruling issued Friday, Judge William Alsup of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ruled that Lucy Rodriguez Instagram could not continue for a number of procedural reasons, including the level of injury of the applicant and the State. Alsup also rejected the applicant's request for leave to file a second amended complaint.

A Facebook representative declined to comment on the decision.

The lawsuit, which was filed last December, accused of breach of contract of service and try to "seize the property rights of customers," after announcing a review of its terms of service that many feared given the perpetual rights Service Sales of user photos without payment or notification. After a reaction from users, Instagram has quickly reversed and announced changes in terms may revert to the version in force since the service was launched in 2010.

Instagram said that the new conditions of service shall come into force on January 19, and users can not withdraw, but could eliminate your bills before the due date. The application was opposed to this last point, saying that customers could cancel but in doing so, they lose the right to your photos.

In a motion to dismiss in February, Instagram argued that Lucy Funes - the original applicant in the case - she did not have the right to request, because it would have deleted your account before applying the new terms and continue using your Facebook account January 19 when there have been changes in terms of service. Lucy Rodriguez was replaced by the plaintiff in an amended statement in March.
