Since no one seems to be talking about phones anymore, I thought I should be the first to start the rumor mill about the galaxy s4. I like referring to it as the fourth generation Samsung galaxy device. It feels good, much like getting the first comment on a YouTube video that goes viral lol. The rumors are finally rolling in and seemingly in 2013, we might just see the phone that blows everyone away. The galaxy s4 will turn out to be Samsung’s best-selling phone and with the rumored specs, no other manufacturer will be able to compete. I know some iPhone lovers may want to disagree with me but all disdain aside, the galaxy s4 will generate the most debate online, much more than the iPhone 5S will be able to garner. Samsung has managed to manufacture full HD super AMOLED screens at 4.99 inches which translates to a whopping 441 PPI (pixel s per inch). Comparing this to the retina display found on iPhones, it represents a more than 30% increase in pixel density. AMOLED wh...

With so many phones, tablets, and a ton of other similar devices out there, it is a tough time for the conscious consumer. The electronics sector is constantly shifting with a myriad of new devices such that lingua is being developed to describe devices like the galaxy note. The Note is now popularly referred to as a phablet, which is a clever connotation of the words phone and tablet. The question on many people’s minds is whether to buy a tablet or not, and if so, what’s the best tablet out there? To answer this question, we have to look at what the existing tablets have to offer and what new devices promise to offer. One of the upcoming and most talked about tablet in the tech world recently is the surface tablet. Just a few days after it was open for preorders in the US, the device sold out. So the question on everyone’s lips is, what sets apart the surface tablet from devices like the kindle fire tablet and the nexus 7 both of which are considered just as good if not better? ...

Wireless Display Technology This technology has been around for some time now. Intel first mentioned it at the CES 2010 show but, interestingly, much has not been said about it from then. Intel showed off what they could achieve with their second generation processors. With the introduction of third generation processors into the market, Intel WIDI is certainly headed for a refresh to settle some of the issues first experienced with the second generation processors. Intel WIDI is a new way to connect with your television at home wirelessly making the user experience more natural and mobile.  As usual, Apple got wind of this technology and quickly developed it as other manufacturers were still thinking about viability options. Currently, Apple’s air play is the most dominant wireless communication solution among electronics. It is a pity that two years down the line, this technology has not quite picked up. This can be attributed to the fact that, during its introdu...

I remember a time when buying a television set meant walking into a store and picking out the biggest screen on display. Back then, all one had to do was pick out the biggest set, nowadays, a myriad of other factors have to be considered before purchase. Thank God for technology and presently the task of purchasing a television set has never been more daunting. It is frustrating when in preparation for the purchase of that big screen TV and on getting to the store, a bunch of jargon is thrown at you leaving one more confused than when they came. This piece seeks to investigate the various terminologies out there relating to screen resolution to make it easy to a common persons understanding. There was a time when digital television was the term heard everywhere. That time came and passed, and then there came the era of LCD versus LED. LCD technology is the mainstream technology currently in use in most of the television sets. On the other hand, all of the television sets bei...

Some of my friends have been so excited about IPv6 mainly because they heard it was being rolled out in the university in a few months. I can understand the excitement, I mean, most of them are expecting incredible lightning internet speeds and there are rumours and murmurs going around that this is a complete overhaul of the network layer protocol. Well the main reason why I decided to write on this is not because IPv6 is a new technology, its’ been around for some time, only that it has not been implemented fully yet and I also want to dispel some of the above rumours. Well you have a reason to be excited about IPv6 because it’s going to bring a lot of improved security features to the table and also new ways to control data flow over an entire network making it a tad more efficient and well, faster but saying that it’s a new page in the network layer protocol is a complete lie. IPv6 is more of an evolution than it is an invention. IPv6 takes off from where IPv4 left off and builds...

I never thought a day would come when I would have to write this. Why then you may ask, am I doing it now. The main reason is that Intel is like a decade ahead of all other companies out there manufacturing chips. The other reason why I chose to write this article is due to the fact that we have a multitude of devices now running on ARM based processors with the RISC architecture compared to Intel’s high end processors which mainly use the CISC architecture. Lastly, rumors were flying around that Apple was considering using only ARM based processors on all their future devices, really? ARM based devices have slowly found their way into our lives. To name just a few; the A5 chips used on the I-phone 4S and the I pad, the QUALCOMM or snapdragon processor in the Samsung Galaxy series among others. A brief comparison between the ARM processors and the X86 counterparts is outlined below To get a better picture and a clear understanding of what I am talking about, it is good to give an exa...
