Microsoft also unveiled its own tablet computer, the Surface. It has a thin Touch Cover that is more like a real keyboard. The Surface sports a 10.6-inch screen.

Both the Surface RT tablet and operating system Windows 8 will go on sale Friday, October 26.

Here's a quick comparison:

Apple Ordered to Publish Notice "Samsung Did Not Copy iPad"

Apple was ordered by a British judge to publish an ads on its U.K. website and in British newspapers saying that Samsung did not copy its design for the iPad, according to Bloomberg.









Judge Colin Birss said in his July 9 ruling that Samsung’s Galaxy tablets did not infringe Apple's registered designs and added that Apple should publish a notice on its home page for six months and published in newspapers and magazines to correct any impression the South Korea-based company was copying Apple’s product.

Birss added that Samsung’s Galaxy tablets were unlikely to be confused with the iPad because they are “not as cool” as the U.S. company's iPad.

Bloomberg also reported that the legal battles about the similarity of Samsung and Apple tablets are being fought in Germany, the Netherlands and the U.S.

Smart offers FREE 'Unli' FACEBOOK; Subscribers can check and send FB messages for FREE

Good news to all Facebook addicts Smart subscribers, starting June 8, 2012 until July 8, 2012, you can now enjoy 'unlimited' free of charge accessing your Facebook account on your mobile phone whether it’s a Java feature phone or a smartphone.








You can check and send FB messages, update your status, view profiles and albums, stay connected with relatives and friends online, straight from your phone without getting charged.

Prepaid subscribers should maintain P1 balance and should only browse Facebook otherwise regular rate would apply.

Telecom provider, Smart Communications Inc., is looking to encourage more Filipinos to reap the benefits of being online in sites such as Facebook. “The growth of the number of Filipinos getting on Facebook and the sheer amount of information that we share in that space like photos, videos, have been simply phenomenal,” according to Emmanuel Lorenzana, head of the Wireless Consumer Division of Smart.


To get avail of the promo, follow these steps:

For feature phone users and Java ready mobile phones, simply type FB on your message box then send to 211 (free), then you will receive at least two messages stating that Facebook browsing is free on your mobile phone until July 8,2012, then you will receive an instruction to download the FB mobile app. Simply follow the instructions to get the ‘Facebook Mobile App’ always on, ready to use, unli, and for free, with a P1 maintaining balance. Second message will remind prepaid subscribers that regular rates will apply when viewing contents hosted outside Facebook.

For internet-enabled or smartphones like iphone 3GS, iphone 4s and Samsung Galaxy phones that have access to web browser, Just go to m.facebook.com using your safari browser / opera browser which will be free for Smart subscribers. Don’t use your phone’s FB app, don’t log on to www.facebook.com.

Note: FREE offer is only for access to Facebook and regular data charges (P10 per 30 minutes) will apply when a user clicks on a link to browse photos, videos, news articles or any other content outside of Facebook. As a tip, set your browser’s home page to m.smart.com.ph. That way no charges will apply upon start of browsing.

LinkedIn HACKED, advises users to change passwords ASAP

Both LinkedIn and security experts advised Wednesday that LinkedIn users change their passwords as soon as possible.









LinkedIn continuing to investigate the situation and they are pursuing as far as next steps for the compromised accounts.

They advised users to pay attention if they do get an email from LinkedIn about resetting your password, and make sure it is from LinkedIn and not a phishing attempt, which will ask you to click on a link or cut-and-paste an enclosed URL in your Internet browser to confirm your email address.

Latest update from LinkedIn said that none of the 6.5 million user passwords that were stolen and published on a website have been used to get into member accounts.

LinkedIn director Vicente Silveria wrote on his blog (June 9, 2012):

By now, many of you have read recent headlines reporting that 6.5 million LinkedIn hashed passwords were stolen and published on an unauthorized website. We take this criminal activity very seriously so we are working closely with the FBI as they aggressively pursue the perpetrators of this crime. As you may have heard, there have been reports of other websites that have suffered similar thefts. We want to be as transparent as possible while at the same time preserving the security of our members without jeopardizing the ongoing investigation. In this post, we want to address questions we’ve been receiving and share what we’ve learned so far about the incident, how we’ve responded, and what we’re doing to protect our members going forward.

First, it’s important to know that compromised passwords were not published with corresponding email logins. At the time they were initially published, the vast majority of those passwords remained hashed, i.e. encoded, but unfortunately a subset of the passwords was decoded. Again, we are not aware of any member information being published at any time in connection with the list of stolen passwords. The only information published was the passwords themselves.

Last Wednesday, he wrote:

We want to provide you with an update on this morning’s reports of stolen passwords. We can confirm that some of the passwords that were compromised correspond to LinkedIn accounts. We are continuing to investigate this situation and here is what we are pursuing as far as next steps for the compromised accounts: 

Members that have accounts associated with the compromised passwords will notice that their LinkedIn account password is no longer valid. 

These members will also receive an email from LinkedIn with instructions on how to reset their passwords. There will not be any links in this email. Once you follow this step and request password assistance, then you will receive an email from LinkedIn with a password reset link.

These affected members will receive a second email from our Customer Support team providing a bit more context on this situation and why they are being asked to change their passwords. 

It is worth noting that the affected members who update their passwords and members whose passwords have not been compromised benefit from the enhanced security we just recently put in place, which includes hashing and salting of our current password databases.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused our members. We take the security of our members very seriously. If you haven’t read it already it is worth checking out my earlier blog post today about updating your password and other account security best practices.

Steps on how to change your password at LinkedIn:

1. Log into LinkedIn.
2. You should see your name in the top right hand corner of the webpage. Click on it, and you will open a drop-down menu. Choose "Settings".
3. Choose the option to change your password.
4. After entering your old password, you will have to enter your new (hopefully unique and hard-to-crack password) twice.

Amazing!! Watch Apple Introducing Siri on iPhone 4S Video

Apple announced the iPhone 4S this week and a day after it's co-founder, Steve Jobs, died. The phone physically looks a lot like the iPhone 4, but has some other nice features that the latter doesn’t – namely Siri, dual core processor and a beefed up camera. And of course it will launch with Apple’s new operating system iOS 5.








Siri on iPhone 4S lets you use your voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, and more. Ask Siri to do things just by talking the way you talk. Siri understands what you say, knows what you mean, and even talks back. Siri is so easy to use and does so much, you’ll keep finding more and more ways to use it.

Here's the Siri features on iPhone4s:

Ask for a reminder.
You can say "Remind me to call Mom when I get home" and Siri sets a reminder for you.

Ask to send a text.
Say something like, "Tell Bronwyn I'm running late." And Siri writes and send the text.

Ask about the weather.
If you ask "Do I need an umbrella?" Siri gives you the forecast for where you are.

Ask for information.
Ask "Where's the best pizza place?" or "Where's an ATM?" and Siri finds a few nearby.

Ask to set a meeting.
You can tell Siri "Meet Kristen for lunch at noon" and Siri puts it on your calendar.

Ask to send an email.
If you say "Email Sandy: Can you send me those photos?" Siri writes and sends the email.

Ask for a number.
Tell Siri "Look up Kyle's number" and Siri finds it for you in your contacts.

Ask to set an alarm.
"Set an alarm for 6a.m." is all you need to say. Siri sets as many alarms as you need.

Ask for directions.
Ask something like "Where's Apple?" and Siri tells you the address and how to get there.

Ask about your stocks.
"How's Apple Stock?" is one way to say it. And Siri keeps you up to date.

Ask to set the timer.
Say "Set the timer for 10 minutes8 and Siri starts keeping time.

Ask Siri about Siri.
Ask "What can you do?" and Siri tells you everything you need to know.
