Samsung Galaxy S Neo Moniker To Be Trademarked

samsung-sign-bgr

Samsung is known to release multiple variants of many of its flagship devices, that too under slightly different monikers. The Galaxy S4 Zoom and Galaxy S4 Active are prime examples from last year, different variants of the primary flagship, the Galaxy S4. It appears that the next crop of variants might feature the “Neo” moniker, as the company has filed to obtain a trademark for Samsung Galaxy S Neo.

    Sony Xperia Z1 Compact review: a good thing in a small(ish) package

    Last year, Sony finally reached the end of the alphabet with its Xperia Z. It wasn’t just that the company ran out of letters, though: With the Xperia Z, we saw Sony streamline its scattered phone strategy, piping all its attention into a single …

    Encrypt All Synced Data in Chrome

    This article was written on March 27, 2012 by CyberNet.

    Encrypt synced data chrome

    One of the capabilities I love in Google Chrome is that it can sync most of my data across all of my browsers. It does a really good job of making sure my extensions, preferences, themes, bookmarks, passwords, and more are always available to me no matter which computer I’m on. The concern you might obviously have with doing something like that is how secure is your information?

    By default Google will encrypt the passwords it syncs, but that’s all they will encrypt. Things like your history, bookmarks, and everything else is all stored on their servers without being encrypted first. That’s easy to fix though! If you take a look at your sync settings in Chrome there is an option to Encrypt all synced data instead of just encrypting your passwords. There is really no reason for you to not turn it on, because the data being synced is so small in size that any kind of performance hit from doing this would be negligible.

    While in the settings you can also choose to set the encryption password to be something other than the password to your Google Account. If you really want to sync your data but want the most security possible these two settings are probably things you want to change.

    A Skype exorcism: The modern way to rid yourself of demons

    He says it works.

    I tend to fight my demons by grinding my teeth and sipping Gamling and McDuck’s cabernet franc.

    I understand, though, that some prefer a religious representative to confront the evil spirit and, well, curse it out.

    This isn’t always an easy arrangement. So I’m delighted that Reverend Bob Larson, of the DWJD (Do What Jesus Did) Spiritual Freedom Church in Arizona has now disrupted the process of exorcisms. Yes, he’s doing them via Skype.

    You can see the advantages immediately. You sense an evil presence in your living room, larder or larynx. You Skype Reverend Bob in the manner of a 911 call. Then, like the 7th Anti-Demon Cavalry, he rides into action.

    On viewing the CNN report below, I confess that I found the whole thing a tad disturbing. Like a C-level horror movie.

    “I’m going to reach out, across the miles,” he tells an allegedly possessed man from Norway.

    What proceeds is a lot of demonic cursing from one side of the Skype call and a lot of crucifix waving from the other.

    Reverend Bob told CNN: “There would be no need to theatrically stage this for any reason. Why would any… [Read more]

    Samsung S Voice Redesigned [Leak]

    samsung-s-voice

    When Apple launched Siri, we knew it was only a matter of time before its rivals retaliated with a similar service. Samsung did, back in 2012, when it unveiled S Voice. Since then smartphones compatible with the virtual private assistant have also featured Google Now, offering users two similar services on a single device. The company might be looking to outshine Google Now, it certainly seems evident from the new Samsung S Voice app seen above, the screenshot was leaked online earlier today.

    LEGO Bioshock Infinite Motorized Patriot: Comstock’s Brick Men

    This LEGO model of the Motorized Patriot from Bioshock Infinite is a testament to the technical prowess and power of Carl Merriam. He made it as part of his Iron Builder battle with Pepa Quin, who if I remember correctly is another famous and talented LEGO enthusiast.

    Man Photoshops Technology Into 15th Century Paintings, Hilarity Ensues

    Not everyone appreciates a GIF. And not everyone appreciates an early Renaissance masterpiece. But there’s more audience overlap than you’d think. Just ask Scorpion Dagger, née James Kerr, an artist whose GIFs feature subjects from 15th century paintings creeping on Instagram and unfriending each other on Facebook.
