Does actor in iPhone 4S display and Galaxy tab 8.9 ad, by chance?

Action is to say the least, a competitive career, and there are two ways, continuous work, characters on a long running TV series/stage show be a principle or carve a niche for themselves even in TV spots, something the young actress seems to do in the tech world.

Called "little Miss tablet" by Sydney Morning Herald, this little lady has managed to gadget display, popular land a part in not only one but two. Not only that the gadgets that promotes it, and by extension is not it for advertising companies are best friends like many of you know.

It is no secret, the Apple and Samsung together, not together with the abundant legal action (just search "patent" on our main page to see what I speech) impact on both companies all over the world. It's safe to say that things have, get already ugly but with the addition of the Samsung Galaxy S II ad , which surfaced late last year, Samsung the struggle a little too hard drives before the consumer?

A specific display has caught the attention of the people, after Samsung something strange decided, this child actor in their ad Galaxy tab 8.9 LTE despite same girl a few months before previously in an Apple iPhone 4S commercials with converted. Whether this an attempt to annoy, Apple, attract consumer attention from Apple's Samsung's products, or just a case of the actor has a talent for playing "cute child with a mobile device", is unclear.

Here is Apple display iPhone 4S

And here is 8.9 LTE Samsung Galaxy tab

Once the discovery made, Samsung removed the ad from their site, which suggests they either knew and had hoped no one would notice, or made a real conversion error. In any case, Samsung have attention, which is neither good or bad, just plain weird and who knows, maybe we will see "little Miss tablet" promotion on the Windows phone.

You prefer it which display do and which product is more for you, make a comment to, down, down.

Transformer Prime ICS update coming on 12 January, unlocked to follow boot loader, GPS is not good

We have some good news and bad news for ASUS transformer of primer owners and future buyers. The company was only a precise time frame for the Android 4.0 ice cream sandwich update for its slate and it's gone either not too far.

The ICS update rollout for the transformer Prime on 12 January, is only 9 days away. The company also said that it already to release a tool that you use to unlock the Tegra 3 driven animal bootloaders and the custom ROMs get up and running.

Now for the bad news. Unlock of the bootloader means that kiss your warranty for reunion - a movement, the unlikely that ASUS is to win many friends among the developer community. But since install custom firmwares raises your warranty on any Smartphone (and if you install not so, why would you mess with your boot loader in the first place), we do not think that this will become too large a problem.

What could be a bit problematic, the Asus is transformer Prime GPS performance. "Early Adopters" have trouble getting a correct GPS lock with and according to ASUS with this problem in the hardware of the device.

According to the manufacturer, the metal shell of the transformer-Prime is the reason why its GPS performance is less than stellar. Now, there is quite an outrageous assertion as quad-Prime is not the first metal device not all of them are problems around and I am sure GPS. However, it is good to know that an update that you are not going to come, saw someone in the event to replace their car navigation with an ASUS tablet. The company even promised to remove the function of the transformer Prime information to avoid confusion.

For everyone else from the transformer, Prime is probably still there is an excellent device and it is all the sweeter in 9 days, when it comes to taste Android 4.0 ICS.

Next angry birds seasons iteration come later this month, Chinese new year theme?

We all know what is angry birds, right? Now, if you don't, chances that never a Smartphone in your life or something heard you are. As always, the next angry birds is seasons update on the way to the mobile OS platforms and is scheduled for January of this year.

The theme of the next chapter of seasons is China, not just the first we've seen. We advise that it somehow will be connected with the fact, that Chinese celebrated new year on 23 January this year.

Here is the promo video, without the subtle evidence is what we see. You'll notice two Dragons transitions in the video the feeling to have the apparent mighty eagles to them. We are perhaps for a mighty Dragon this time, as China enters the year of the Dragon.

I hope that is not those who have paid for the mighty eagles expansion are forced, to pay for the Dragon - plays if it actually makes the game.

If, that turns out the new issue is in fact on the Chinese new year, it is not the first issue centered around Chinese holidays dedicated. As well as always, I bet that it will be fun.

Apple iPhone 4S arrives in China, 21 other countries next week

Apple has launched iPhone 4S in seven countries back in October and gradually added new environment in the months since. The latest group brings the total number of countries which have 4S iPhone to more than 90.

As the fastest growing market for the iPhone, China's most of the country on the list. CEO Tim Cook last year called China "lock" to Apple's earnings.

Apple Designer Jonathan 'Jony' Ive Awarded Knighthood

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Apple designer Jonathan Ive can now add "Sir" to his title; he was named a Knight Commander of the British Empire (KBE) on Saturday as part of England's New Year's Honors List.

London-born Ive serves as vice president of industrial design at Apple, reporting to CEO Tim Cook. He has led Cupertino's highly regarded design team since 1996, according to his Apple bio, having started in 1992.

In a statement provided to the BBC, Ive said the honor was "absolutely thrilling."

"I discovered at an early age that all I've ever wanted to do is design," he said.

Honors are awarded twice a year by the Queen; on her birthday in mid-June and at the New Year. Anyone can be nominated, but they must be approved by a nominations team and the Queen. In all, almost 1,000 people were honored today, many of them local heroes.

Art historian John Patrick Richardson also received the KBE honor with Ive.

There are five classes in the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, which was created by George V in 1917 during World War I. The two most prestigious classes, which carry with them the "Sir" or "Dame" designation, are the Knight or Dame Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire and the Knight or Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.

The origins of knighthood, however, "are obscure, but they are said to date back to ancient Rome, where there was a knightly class Ordo Equestris (an order of mounted nobles)," according to the U.K. government.

As the BBC noted, Ive was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE) in 2005, the third highest honor, but it did not allow him to use the "Sir" title.

As described in Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs, Ive—known as Jony—thought about quitting Apple in 1997, the year Jobs returned as CEO. Ive was frustrated by the focus on profit rather than product design, Isaacson wrote, but Jobs changed that.

"I remember very clearly Steve announcing that our goal is not just to make money but to make great products," Ive told Isaacson.

Ive grew up the son of a silversmith who valued a handmade product. He landed at Apple after his London-based design firm, Tangerine, was awarded a contract job with Cupertino. He soon gained the respect of Jobs, who later told Isaacson that Ive was a "spiritual partner" at Apple.

Earlier this year, there were reports that Ive would leave Apple in order to spend more time in the U.K., but a report in the Daily Mail shot down those rumors.

Around the same time, there were also rumors that Jobs had been considered for knighthood, but the designation was blocked by former U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown because Jobs rejected an invitation to speak at a Labour Party event.

Another famous tech figure, former Microsoft head Bill Gates, was awarded an honorary knighthood in 2005. Full knighthoods are only available to citizens of countries where Queen Elizabeth II is queen. She can award honorary knighthoods to anyone else, but they cannot use the "Sir" title, so even if Brown had not allegedly blocked Jobs's nomination, the late Apple chief could never be addressed as Sir Steve Jobs.
