velu Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Apple Collects 87% Of All The Profits In The Smartphone Handset Industry Apple has a relatively tiny slice of the smartphone market, measured by phones shipped to consumers. According to the latest data from IDC, iPhones were 17.6% of smartphones shipped last quarter. Android-based phones were 78.1% of the phones shipped. But if you measure the smartphone market by profits, Apple is practically a monopoly. Analyst Tavis McCourt at Raymond James estimates Apple has 87.4% of smartphone profits. The next closest is Samsung, with 32.2% of smartphone profits. :proud: http://www.businessinsider.in/Apple-Collects-87-Of-All-The-Profits-In-The-Smartphone-Handset-Industry/articleshow/30357713.cms this is for Q4 2013

hhunaeh Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Researchers recover 100s of nude photos from second-hand smartphones Security researchers have warned that the "factory reset" function on Android handsets fails to properly delete data after retrieving more than a thousand photos of men and women in "various stages of undress" from second-hand phones. The study conducted by Avast used advanced data retrieval techniques to recover data from 20 second-hand smartphone purchased from eBay. More than 40,000 photos were recovered including "more than 250 selfies of what appear to be the previous owner's manhood". The researchers were able to identify the previous owners of four of the 20 handsets, and described the amount of data retrieved as "astonishing". Avast say that the problem stems from the method of data deletion used by the handsets, with the 'factory reset' option only deleting the directory that points to the location of the data — rather than the data itself. A Google spokesperson defended the OS, telling technology site Ars Technica that the researchers must have been using older Android devices and that their findings did not "reflect the security protections in Android versions that are used by 85% of users." This statistic suggests that Android users running version 4.0 and later should be safe using built-in data wipe functions, although Google also recommends enabling encryption on their smartphones — an option available under Settings and then Security. Extra security conscious users can even load 'dummy data' onto their phone following a factory reset and then deleting that set of data that before putting the device for sale online. For iOS users encryption is built in, with all Apple devices apart from the original iPhone, iPhone 3G, and first two generations of the iPod touch using Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to secure data. :rofl:
velu Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Samsung could have bought Android before Google, but instead chose to laugh Andy Rubin out of the boardroom with his offer and the whole 8-person Android team! The year is 2005. No smartphones yet (at least not at a level we accept them now), the network carriers control all the content, a lot of mess with versions of the operating systems and what works for Motorola hardly ever runs on Samsung. Mobile application developers run away from smartphones like they run away from hell, and those who really wanted to create something for mobile phones were literally forced to write new code for each model separately, often rewriting the same thing hundreds of time. The revolution, however, is not that far away. Andy Rubin began working on an operating system that was first designed for digital cameras, but then captured smartphones too. He started off as an engineer at Carl Zeiss, but then worked on operating systems for handheld computers. He had the experience and support of a few engineers. In October 2003, he launched the Android project which ran out of money within a year that made him search for investors. We all now know that in the end Andy Rubin comes to Google and everyone lives happily ever after. But a very few people know that Rubin first went to Samsung with the offer. The entire Android team of eight engineers flew to Seoul to meet with the largest handset maker. In a meeting with 20 executives of Samsung, Rubin pitches the Android idea relentlessly, but instead of enthusiasm and questions, the only response he gets is dead silence. Then, Samsung’s team of high-ranked executives voices what seemed obvious then: “You and what army are going to go and create this? You have six people. Are you high?’ is basically what they said. They laughed me out of the boardroom. This happened two weeks before Google acquired us,” Rubin later recollects. Indeed, in early 2005 Larry Page would agree to meet with Andy Rubin, and after hearing about his work on Android, he not just helps get the money – he decides that Google will acquire Android. Google bought Android for $50 million by mid 2005, all eight team members of Android moved to Mountain View . And the rest, as they say, is history… I guess it was never meant to be. Samsung was looking for a ready product whereas Google was in search of a great idea. Android and Google are a match made in heaven and it’s probably the best thing that Android didn’t end up with Samsung, after all. http://hacksandstuff.com/android/samsung-could-have-bought-android-but-didnt_1234223.html
