First Apples #Bendgate & Now samsung #Gapgate ( Share or Comment Below)

Samsung released its latest Galaxy Note series handset, the 
Galaxy Note 4, in China and South Korea last week.
The company's move to launch the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is
seen as an attempt beat the 'bigger' iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to
market in these countries.
However, it seems the launch has not been an ideal one for Samsung,
as some Galaxy Note 4 buyers in South Korea are complaining of a
manufacturing defect in the handset.
GforGames, citing a Korean site, claims that some Galaxy Note 4 users
have been complaining of a gap between the phone's screen and the
metal casing. Reportedly, the gap seen on some Galaxy Note 4 units
can fit up to two A4 size sheets or even a business card. One of the
users have also shared an image that shows gap on the top of the
screen and also on one of the sides.
The Korean report further suggests that Samsung is aware of the
manufacturing defect on the new Galaxy Note smartphone and
the necessary changes are expected to be made before the
Galaxy Note 4 is globally released in about 140 countries by end
of October.
As of now, there is no official word on whether Samsung will replace
these defective units. Interestingly, the Galaxy Note 4 manufacturing
defect news comes at a time when Samsung's most prominent
competitor, Apple, has been facing claims that its new 'bigger'
iPhone 6 Plus can be bent easily.
Apple had to defend its iPhone 6 Plus on the bending issue, claiming it
wouldn't happen during normal use and that only 9 users had reported
the problem. The company even invited journalists to observe its testing
procedures.
Coming back to the Galaxy Note 4, Samsung's new Galaxy Note series
handset is likely to be released in India next month. A report even
claimed that the company might sell the Galaxy Note 4 alongside
premium Galaxy Alpha via offline retailers, citing excessive pressure
from brick-and-mortar retailers.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Gets: Here's EVERYTHING You Need To Know


Q4 is always a busy time of year for tech companies, and the beginning to this year’s was no exception, with the launch of two new iPhones –– the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus ––, the Samsung Galaxy AlphaMoto X 2014 and, of course, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. And this year the Galaxy Note 4 has a tougher job than normal. Not only does it have to take on Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus, but it also has to make up for worse than expected Galaxy S5 sales during the early part of the year and put Samsung back on an upward trajectory. 
The Galaxy Note brand first emerged in 2011 with the announcement of the original Galaxy Note. The massive handset, being something of an oddity back then, was met with a fair bit of derision. However, it was also met with plenty of enthusiasm by consumers, rapidly establishing the validity of the phablet concept. Samsung has since followed on with several new iterations and each has sold very well indeed. Other manufacturers have attempted their own take on the phablet idea, but it's fair to say Samsung still leads the way with arguably the most successful phablet launches overall.
“Samsung needs the Galaxy Note 4 to be a hit. It has to make up some of the ground it lost as a result of the relatively poor reception to the all-plastic Galaxy S5 when it was launched in February. Samsung will be hoping the new metal based “Alpha” design language delivers a premium package in the eyes of consumers and does enough to be competitive against Apple’s much anticipated iPhone 6," said Hugo Deacon of CSS Insights. 
The Galaxy Note 4 comes with a 5.7in QHD AMOLED display with a pixel resolution of 2560 x 1440. It has a pixel density of over 500ppi matching up to that of the LG G3. It’s the first Galaxy Note handset to come with a metal frame and there’s a 2.5D glass front and removable faux leather rear cover. The 2.5D glass front is Samsung’s own slightly bevelled front panel, the edges and corners come out from the phone to give the impression the screen is floating.
Samsung has announced two different models for the Galaxy Note 4. The first comes with Samsung’s very own Exynos 5433 octa-core CPU that includes four cores running at 1.9GHz and another four at 1.3GHz.
The second version comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 quad-core chip clocked at 2.7GHz.
The phone runs Android 4.4 KitKat with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI over the top. Both versions of the Note 4 come with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of on-board storage as standard. There’s also microSDcard support. But both the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the Galaxy S5 could get the Android L upgrade by late November or early December, according to reports.
The word comes from SamMobile, an often reliable source of Samsung leak details, which cites its own unnamed "insiders" for the information. That makes us think it's fairly legit, although it's worth noting that Google hasn't launched Android L for Nexus devices yet, although we have heard rumours of an October launch for the platform.
While it might seem like a fast turnaround, Google does seed Android builds to OEMs ahead of launches, so there's a good chance Samsung is working on its builds already.
"Samsung needs the Galaxy Note 4 to be a hit. It has to make up some of the ground it lost as a result of the relatively poor reception to the all-plastic Galaxy S5 when it was launched in February. Samsung will be hoping the new metal based “Alpha” design language delivers a premium package in the eyes of consumers and does enough to be competitive against Apple’s much anticipated iPhone 6,” said Ben Wood, Chief of Research, CCS Insight
The camera on the back has jumped up to a 16MP sensor, the same one we saw on the Galaxy S5. Optical image stabilisation has been added to the mix and there’s the ability to capture 4K video. The front facing camera has a 3.7MP sensor.
The S Pen stylus returns for the Galaxy Note 4 (it wouldn’t be a Note without it) with some worthy improvements. The pressure sensitivity had 1024 levels on the Galaxy Note 3 but the Note 4 comes with 2048 pressure levels, so expect writing and drawing to be more responsive and accurate.
A new Smart Select menu has been added to the existing Air Command menu and it now allows you to select multiple options at the same time.
The Galaxy Note 3 is available in four colours, frosted white, charcoal black, bronze gold and blossom pink. It doesn’t look like there will be a blue version as there was of the Galaxy S5, although we all know manufacturers like adding new variants post-launch.
There’s no word on a release date just yet, but we can be fairly certain it will arrive in time for Christmas. If it follows the same way as the Galaxy Note 3 did it may be with us by the end of the month or the first week of October. The price is also unknown right now, and we are yet to here which processor models will hit which regions. Naturally we will keep you updated as Samsung reveals more.

Galaxy Note 4 Takes On Samsung's Green Screen Problem

Samsung using AMOLED displays is nothing new. In the past some have criticised the colours to have a cold and slightly greenish colour. Samsung realised this is a problem and has been hard at work to try and improve its AMOLED technology. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S Tablet range from earlier this year came accompanied with a new screen mode called Basic that tweaked the display colours to make them look much more true to life.
According to Phone Arena the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will adopt the same technology in the 5.7in AMOLED display.
It’s not confirmed yet, but looking into some of the information behind the scenes on the Note 4 it seems like Samsung will incorporate the Basic mode into the Note 4’s display. With the new mode the colours are closer to the sRGB standard than on previous Samsung mobile products.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 measured colour temperature is 6596 K (Kelvin). The reference value is 6500 K so it’s going to do the job perfectly. It means the balance between blue and red is great and according to other sources the green isn’t excessive like it has been on previous Samsung AMOLED displays.
All in all, the colours look far superior on the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 than on other Samsung smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Release Date & Price

Samsung has officially revealed that its pre-orders will go live from Friday September 19 (tomorrow at time of writing) at Samsung Experience stores. The company stated that online and high street retailers will be taking pre-orders from September 26, including Three and Carphone Warehouse. The handset will be on general sale across the UK on October 17.
"Due to the phenomenal interest and demand for the Galaxy Note 4, the device will now go on sale in the UK from 17 October. Samsung UK is working hard to ensure that pre-orders and sales across all channels can be fulfilled as soon as possible," Said Samsung in a statement to the press.
We now have information from UK retailer Clove.co.uk regarding the Galaxy Note 4's release date and price. It will apparently land with that particular retailer on October 13. You're able to pre-orderthe handset already, it's only available in one storage model at 32GB, but there are three colour choices (gold, white, black). Clove is selling it for £575 SIM-free including VAT. According to the product page the UK model is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 variant.
UK retailers have confirmed they will be carrying the Galaxy Note 4. O2, Three, Vodafone, and Carphone Warehouse are all confirmed to be carrying the handset.

EE

EE will be offering the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and you can now pre-order the handset in stores and online. Obviously being EE 4G comes into the equation and you can get 2GB of 4G internet, unlimited UK calls, unlimited texts on a 24 month contract for £109.99 up front and £40.99 a month.
If you want to pay a little less up front one contract offers 1GB of 4G internet, 1000 minutes a month, unlimited texts all for £59.99 up front and a monthly cost of £45.99.

Teens walk into Apple Store, bend an iPhone 6 Plus, run away, brag about it

Teens walk into Apple Store, bend an 

iPhone 6 Plus, run away, brag about it

Can the iPhone 6 Plus bend? Two teenagers took matters into their own hands, visiting an Apple store and claiming on video that they were able to bend the device at an Apple store.
Apple10_429_ls.jpgAn online video shows the teens walking into an Apple store, bending an iPhone 6 Plus and rushing out the store. It is unclear whether the video is legitimate.
“Apple, you do really need to fix this,” one of the teens said in the video.
Apple didn’t immediately return a call for comment on whether they will pursue legal action against the teens.
The video comes after the tech media raised some questions about the flexibility of the iPhone 6 Plus, concerns known as “bendgate.”
Apple has said they have received very few cases of bent iPhone 6 Plus. Consumer Reports also said people are exaggerating the alleged flaw. Even so, analysts said regardless of “bendgate,” the Cupertino-based company will sell lots of its new smartphones.

China Accidentally Built a Housing Complex in the Middle of a Highway



China Accidentally Built a Housing Complex in the Middle of a Highway


There's no denying that China doesn't have the best record when it comes to urbanplanning and developmentparticularly in regards to real estate—and their most recent blunder is a doozy. Thanks to some poor planning and (presumably poor) communication, China accidentally built a brand new set of modern apartments right in the middle of an eight-lane highway. Your very own permanent, honking sound soother.
China Accidentally Built a Housing Complex in the Middle of a Highway3
The whole thing started when a block of residents in Xi'an, Shaanxi province in western Chinawere uprooted to make room for a soon-to-be-constructed public park. In exchange for the inconvenience, tenants were promised a brand new, block of modern apartments—it's just too bad city planners forgot about that little eight-lane superhighway they were going to build in the exact same place. Whoops.
The previously-relocated residents got a few months of peace and quiet in their new homes before the council came a-knockin' and politely asked if they would move out of their brand new homes, please. As you can imagine, these involuntary nomads weren't happy. Plus, after all that park and highway and fancy apartment construction, council funds were running low. And since it could barely offer any reasonable amount of compensation, the tenants refused to accept what little it did.
Left with no other options, the council just built the highway around the new building, bringing an eight-lane highway to four. And everything considered, the tenants actually seem to be taking it pretty well. As one resident, Shing Su, told The Daily Mail:
We don't exactly like being stuck out in the middle of a 60metre-wide highway, but you get used to it. If they make a decent offer most would move, but it's hard as it seems we had only settled here when we were asked to move.
But the best/saddest part of the story? The highway hasn't done anything to help the horrible rush-hour congestion—the whole reason it was built in the first place. It was all done for nothing. [The Daily Mail]

64 Square Feet: Writer Lived Inside Astor Place Cube in New York City


64 Square Feet: Writer Lived Inside Astor Place Cube in New York City





The Astor Place Cube, also known as the "The Cube" or by its official name "Alamo", is an iconic outdoor sculpture by artist Tony Rosenthal. Located at a busy intersection of Lafayette Street at 8th Street in New York City, it's hard to miss. But even local residents may be shocked to discover someone may have been living inside the 64 square foot steel cube...


Driven to seek solitude while living in New York City, the constant bombardment of social technologies, email, and other modern day distractions which can hamper focus all led 37 year old writer "Dave" to find the calm in the eye of the storm offered inside The Cube. The inside was secretly converted into the most compact of residences (even by New York standards), with about 512 cubic feet of usable space within, as revealed in the short documentary, Man In a Cube, revealing the ultimate in small space living.
Lined with acoustic foam to dampen the noises of the city outside, the hollow interior was converted to offer Dave all the basic amenities for cooking, sleeping, writing, exercising, and even a bathroom, all from within a space which resembles a deep ocean vessel. Dave even outfitted a bicycle generator and hooked it up to a car battery to power up interior lights and his small collection of gadgets. For all intents and purposes, this resourceful individual staked out an apartment, albeit a very small one (and possibly illegal), where nobody knew one existed.
Dave is supposedly moving out of his extremely small space "apartment", crediting a 60 second meditation technique*, which has given him a coping mechanism to counteract the technostress which initially drove him inside the Astor Place Cube.

*Is this real or just an elaborate hoax as some readers suspect? Some suspicious and astute readers have noted the meditation technique promoted at the tail end of the video was produced by WHIL, a program founded by Dennis "Chip" Wilson (also founder of Lululemon), and this whole small space living story was staged.

What the Military Issue Rifle Is in Each Country of the World

What the Military Issue Rifle Is in Each Country of the World



What the Military Issue Rifle Is in Each Country of the World

Different strokes, different folks. Different guns, different countries. Here's a map showing the military issue rifle for each country in the world. You'll see familiar M4s, AK-47s, AK-74s, some M16s and tinkles of other weaponry. Judging by the map's choice of colors, it seems to group weapons that are of a similar family together by color.
To be sure, there are more guns used by the military than just these but this map gives a general gist of each military's standardization. Here's a rundown of what some of these guns look like, courtesy of Wikipedia:
