That’s 430 pixels per inch. When will said panel end up in a retail product? Let’s think about this logically. Rumor has it that Google is going to announce a 1080p Nexus 7 successor at Google I/O next month....

Yes, the latest “witch hunt” has led to the banning of the myPersonality app. The problem is that the action may have been somewhat exaggerated. As more than 400 applications have been suspended from the platform (Facebook) since audit work began in March. But expelling and suspending does not have the same meaning. Suspended apps can be back on the platform as long as the issues that led to the penalty are fixed....
A couple of weeks ago, Facebook announced that the accounts of 50 million members may have been hacked, and it logged out 90 million accounts just to be sure. Now, Facebook is saying that “only” 30 million accounts were actually hacked, and about 14 million of them had information grabbed that was far more intimate than had ever been accessed. How intimate? Try the last 15 people or things they had searched for on Facebook and the last 10 locations they had checked into....

The first of these goals is advocating for digital trade liberalisation, standards, and regulatory cooperation with international partners and through participation in international fora.

While yes, I wear an Apple Watch on my wrist some days, if Apple’s smartwatch looked this good, I would be making sure it’s on my wrist every day. This watch features stainless-steel casing and the ability to change your watch band so it will work for any occasion. But, while this watch features an obviously elegant design, the ECG monitoring, auto workout technology, and wellness management are all built into this smartwatch, so it’s hard for other brands to compete....

It certainly has had its impact on culture, self-esteem, and accumulated debt. But then there’s the whole, “look, the shiny thing goes blinky, makes noise, must have now!” part of our personalities. Marketers count on the materialistic side of our personalities winning out, and quite frankly, so does the health of our overall economy....
