iOS 5.1 Didn’t Fix The Battery Drain? Although the “batterygate” was detailed for months while thousands of users complained about it, Apple seemed focused on resolving it with the iOS 5.0.1 update. By observing some discussions on Apple forums, we realize that iOS 5.1 didn’t cure the battery illness. Now, after the last upgrade became available, the company announced again to find a fix for the problem, but somewhat timidly, by the end of the list of iOS 5....
Why look to the cloud in the first place? If you store documents locally (in a folder on your computer), you’re one clever hacker or failed hard drive away from finding your private information in the wrong hands or gone forever. That’s why cloud storage is so appealing. You can access your documents at any time from any device. But choose the wrong place to store them, and you’re in a world of hurt if your account is broken into it — or if the service is hacked....
If you’ve always wanted to pursue a career in tech but believed the training would be too difficult, long, or expensive, then you no longer need to worry.

Moreover, the demand for Python is so high that it is the third-ranking tech skill overall....
Back in last year October, Swiftkey unveiled an experimental application that was entirely developed through artificial networks that were designed to predict what you’re going to type next based on the context instead of what you typed a second ago. Now, after months of testing and changes, the main Swiftkey app has been reengineered by implementing those networks at the core for providing smarter and more importantly, natural recommendations. To be slightly more precise, the ditched N-gram probability model read the last two words you wrote, scrutinized the massive database, and displayed the three best-suited words....
The LG G3 is still a couple of months away from being announced but the handset has had its fair share of leaks. However, all the leaks, until now, have been about the new Optimus UI on the handset and its specs.

AT&T today announced that it will start carrying the LG G4 on its network from June 5, with pre-orders beginning from May 29.

AT&T’s pricing of LG’s latest flagship handset is similar to other U.S. carriers: $199.99 on a two-year contract, or $629....
Not to be content with an 8.3-inch tablet only, LG has gone ahead and unveiled a trio of new G Pads running Android 4.4 KitKat in 7-inch, 8-inch and 10.1-inch flavours. The company did not reveal anything about the specifications, pricing or release date of the tablets, which is slightly odd. The press release, however, does mention the highlights of the tablets, which are as follows: The press release also mentions that the tablets will be coming with some of LG’s latest proprietary UX features like QPair 2....
Google Maps has a speedometer feature that tells you about the current speed of your vehicle. If turned on, the speedometer feature notifies you when it detects that you surpass the speed limit set.

The feature resides right on the Google Maps app for Android & iOS, and it helps you focus on the wheel instead of monitoring the speed at the speedometer....

Even with two remarkable handsets in two consecutive years, HTC has been struggling to report a profit. Things seems to be changing for the better though, as according to HTC’s unaudited Q2 reports, it has managed to earn a profit, however modest it is. The $75 million (NT$2.26 billion) profit finally breaks the streak of HTC losing money or barely making it to break-even over the last few quarters. This is slightly higher than what the company made last year ($NT70....
Last year, the Galaxy S4 and a few other handsets were caught cheating in benchmarks to post higher scores. This led many benchmarking suites to delist some of the Samsung and HTC handsets and also gained the companies a fair bit of negative publicity. With the new generation of flagship handsets being released, many hoped that Samsung and HTC would stop boosting the CPU/GPU clocks to score higher benchmark scores....

The Optimus G, when it was announced during the fall of 2012, quickly fell off people’s radar. And for good reason too. You have to remember, that was the month Samsung announced the Galaxy Note II. And even worse, Google just a few short weeks later, announced the Nexus 4. Combine that with LG’s poor track record of software updates, and it was a smartphone that history simply forgot. Until today, that is, because LG Estonia has just announced the Android 4....

In June, HTC sold 50,000 One (E8) devices in about 15 minutes in China. A device like that certainly deserves to see the light of day in other markets, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it’s launching in the United States. Sprint initially teased the device’s arrival on August 15 in a quick promotional video, but the carrier has now made it official. The Now Network officially announced the One (E8)’s arrival on their online store and through telesales on August 29....
