Samsung essentially invented the "phablet" with the release of its original Galaxy Note back in 2011. Three years later, it takes the category to new, ultra-high-res territory with a fourth-generation version of the extra-large smartphone, the Galaxy Note 4. Yes, the Galaxy Note 4 is the first Quad HD smartphone from Samsung, which means its display has a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440 — the highest you can get in smartphones today. The LG G3 was the first mainstream phone to boast Quad HD, although it's been seen in some phones out of China since late last year . See also: David Hasselhoff and KITT Plug Samsung's Smart Home in New Ad Quad HD is certainly pixel overkill in terms of resolution (at normal viewing distances), although manufacturers claim it has benefits for color and contrast. To my eyes, Quad HD displays do look better than full HD (1,920 x 1,080) screens, and it definitely looked that way when I had a little hands- and eyes-on time with the Galaxy Note 4. … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Arrives With Quad HD Display, Supercharged Camera

Very few people can say they can remember using an Apple I computer. Only 200 of the machines were ever made, and each was built by hand. To say that Apple I computers are rare might be a bit of an understatement. However, a museum in Seattle, Washington has just acquired the rarest of the rare. The Living Computers museum , founded by Paul Allen of Microsoft fame, has obtained Steve Jobs’ personal Apple I computer and placed it on display. The computer had previously been owned by Don Hutmacher, an early employee of Apple. Apparently, Don had grabbed the computer back in 1985 after Jobs had left the company for the first time. According to TechCrunch, Hutmacher died in 2016 leaving it to his wife. Rather than allowing the computer to collect dust, she is allowing the museum to display and care for it. Curators were unsure if the item was genuine, but a full inspection revealed that it was certainly an Apple I and a unique one at that. In fact, a tag with the initials “BF” on … [Read more...] about Seattle museum has ultra-rare Apple I computer on display

There's more than one way to fleece people using Web advertising. Botnets have been harnessed to generate fake clicks by injecting fake links into search results and to click randomly on webpages the infected computer's user never sees. But fraudsters are starting to get more sophisticated in their efforts to get rich off Web advertising. As Dr. Douglas de Jager, CEO of Spider.io, reported in a blog post today , fraudulent advertising networks are now acting as middlemen between advertising networks placing Web display ads and those stuffing whole hidden webpages of ads into ad slots on legitimate sites. Instead of using bots, this sort of ad fraud uses real humans to generate the traffic—but it never actually shows them the ads that are served up to them. Display advertising fraud targets ads that are paid for by pageview rather than by click. The use of real-time bidding to auction ad space on websites through exchanges such as Google's DoubleClick Ad Exchange and … [Read more...] about Thank you for not viewing: “Hidden” display ads hurt Web ad networks

Freshly leaked images suggest Fitbit's next wearable tracker could be made of more premium materials and come with a more expensive price tag than the products currently in its range of devices. Pictures obtained by WinFuture show what's being called the Fitbit Luxe, a stylish-looking tracker with a stainless steel casing and an OLED screen. It's not hugely dissimilar in design from the Fitbit Inspire 2 . WinFuture doesn't go into a whole lot of detail about what to expect from the Fitbit Luxe, but it does say the device is coming soon and may well have a few advanced features not available on Fitbit's other wearables. Samsung plots a tri-fold tablet Apple's next event is almost here Why Windows 10 should be free While none of this is official yet, the information that WinFuture gets hold of is usually accurate, and the image you can see below definitely looks like it could have come straight out of the Fitbit public relations department.

Further Reading Virginia man demands cops stop routine scans via license plate reader A Virginia state court has decided that a license plate number is not personal information—essentially validating law enforcement’s use of license plate readers in the commonwealth. In a recently published opinion letter , the 19th Judicial Circuit of Virginia ruled against a man who sued the Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) and its chief of police. The man alleges that the agency has been "unlawfully" collecting information about his license plate in violation of state law. Circuit Court Judge Robert J. Smith ruled that a license plate number is not “personal information,” as defined under Virginia law , essentially because, as license plate numbers must be made publicly visible, there can be no privacy interest. Therefore, according to Judge Smith, license plate numbers cannot be considered “personal information.” (It is worth noting however, that in Google Street View, all … [Read more...] about Court: License plates must be displayed, so by definition they aren’t private
