iphone 6 release date

New iPhone 6 will come in two variants. The first variant will have a screen size of 4.7, like the previous iPhone series. The report also claimed that Apple had acquired parts from various Taiwanese suppliers such as wafer maker Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co and Largan Precision, a leading maker of lenses used in mobile phones, for the handset expected to be called iPhone 6.

Apple’s new iPhone is expected to hit the markets during mid-August according to the reports but there is no details about which markets would receive the phone first.

According to the mass-circulation national newspaper, Foxconn and Pegatron, the two Taiwanese electronic contract makers have been notified by Apple to start their assembly lines for the new handsets which are likely to come around late June. The source also claims that Eighty million units of the new iPhone 6 will be designed prior to the launch event.

The second variant of iPhone 6 will be a phablet device as it will have screen size of 5.5-inch. Apple is trying to battle against rivals like Samsung by introducing this phablet into the market. Also it is believed that screen size is now the primary competition stream for Apple and that’s the reason they are launching a phablet version with a bigger screen size of 5.5-inch. The phablet version of iPhone 6 will come in markets immediately after the 4.7-inch version. It is expected to be available around September or later.

It is expected that the Samsung’s Note series is going to receive tough competition.

Morover, iPhone 6 will also have slimmer and lighter design. It will also have faster A8 Processor which will boost the phone’s performance. The A7 processor was already acclaimed by many top reviewers and there won’t be any surprises if the A8 processor will boost it’s speed by huge extent.

It will also have a better camera for more crisp images. Rumors say that the phablet version will take more time to enter the markets as they have issues with battery life.

iPhone 6 is likely to launch with iOS 8 pre-installed. Its design is expected to be adapted from its successor iPhone 5c and it will also be available in various colors. iPhone 6 might be as slim as 7mm. But to achieve that they would have to redesign other modules as well.Apple’s new smartwatch named iWatch is also expected to work along their new iPhone 6.

May 8, 2014 By Karen Jackson Leave a Comment

Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan acknowledges that his country’s effort to subdue Boko Haram have not produced the results it had promised to the nation. But he is hopeful that this will be the beginning of the end of this terror group.

“I believe the kidnap of these girls will be the beginning of the end for terror in Nigeria,” said Mr Jonathan at the World Economic Forum in Abuja.

The attack this week left 376 people dead and the mass abduction of 276 kidnapped girls a month ago have brought Nigeria to the fore.

Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram has made matters worse by admitting that he plans to sell the girls.

This week the town of Gamboru Ngala, a state capital was attacked in which some victims were burned alive.

Countries including United States, France, Britain and China have promised help to Nigeria for finding the girls, as the world outrage over the plight of 276 girls has grown.

The US President Barack Obama said in statement, “Every day when I wake up and I think about young girls in Nigeria or children caught up in the conflict in Syria, when there are times in which I want to reach out and save those kids. And having to think through what levers, what powers do we have at any given moment, I think drop by drop by drop that we can erode and wear down these forces that are so destructive.”

JenPaksi, U.S. State Department spokeswoman had confirmed the FBI agent’s arrest via a press statement on Wednesday, “This individual detained is an employee of the FBI who was on a temporary duty assignment to provide routine assistance to the legal attache at the U.S. mission.”

Psaki told the press that Washington is working closely with officials in Islamabad to resolve the issue.

Minutes before the bail announcement, Tasneem Aslam, spokeswoman for Pakistani Foreign Office said in her press statement, “Yes, an FBI official was arrested at Karachi airport. The Karachi police officials already have given some preliminary details, the matter is under investigation.”

She also said that Joel Cox was in Pakistan on a short-term visa for his temporary duty at the American embassy, and supposedly did not have diplomatic immunity.

Due to the War on Terror, the United States and Pakistan have had uneasy ties. The relations between the two countries took a major downturn in the year 2011, when a CIA contractor Raymond Davis killed two Pakistani men who he claimed were threatening him.

Later the U.S. Navy Seals had also killed Osama bin Laden on Pakistani soil which is followed by NATO troops misconduct that mistakenly led to the killing of 24 Pakistani soldiers on a border post with Afghanistan.

D’Antoni Resigns as Coach of the Lakers

May 1, 2014 By Kenneth Scott Leave a Comment

Mike D’Antoni the embattled head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers had wanted the option on his contract to be picked up for the 2015-16 season.

On Wednesday, D’Antoni resigned as the team refused to pick up his option ending a two-year tumultuous run with the Lakers and bringing to an end one of the franchise’s worst seasons.

The coach had one more year of a guaranteed $4 million contract but was upset when management declined to pick up the option for 2015-16 for $4 million more.

Veterans Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant disliked D’Antoni’s small ball approach, which led to disharmony inside the locker room during a season when the Lakers won just 27 of their 82 games, setting a franchise record for futility.

One person close to the situation said the search for a head coach would be wide open by they do not expect a head coach to be hired before the draft lottery on May 20.

Even though the prospects are dim for next season for the Lakers, making the coaching job a less attractive one than at other times, they could pursue a big-name, high-salaried NBA coach. On the other hand, they could go for an assistant in the NBA who is low salaried with a shorter contract.

The lottery for the draft could be the difference in management going one way or the other. If the Lakers could get the No. 1 pick overall, from their current sixth position, of which they have a 6.3% chance, then a more experienced coach might be their decision.

However, if the team were to slip in the lottery a coach with a shorter contract is what might be the choice.

There is a 30.5% possibility they fall down one spot to seventh during the lottery and a 4% chance of falling to eighth and 0.1% chance of dropping to ninth.

Regardless, Magic Johnson who is an unpaid vice president of the Lakers was ecstatic to learn of the resignation of D’Antoni.

On Twitter Johnson wrote that Happy days were back again in LA. He said he could not be happier for the franchise.

White House Releases Guidelines to Combat Rape in Colleges

April 29, 2014 By Karen Jackson Leave a Comment

On Monday, the White House took one step more in its effort of combating rape on university and college campuses across the country when it released a new report.

The report consisted of 20 pages. A special task force was step up to produce the report and included Arne Duncan the Secretary of Education and Eric Holder the Attorney General.

The group spent three months compiling recommendations from talking with many people.

The task force is interested in finding out more about the scale and scope of the problem. Statistics were cited in the report from the National Institute of Justice, which said that 1 in 5 women experienced attempted rape or rape during college.

This year the group is pushing institutions of higher learning to use its 2015 tool kit to survey their own campuses. Before 2016, the task force will start making reports. It is planning to explore administrative or legislative options requiring school to carry out the survey.

In 2011, schools were first alerted by the administration about the responsibilities they had to sexual violence survivors. The administration announced that schools under Title IX must address the sexual violence issue to provide an equal access to all for education.

However, schools struggled with that. Over the last three years, many of the schools have been cited publicly for not living up to the standards.

The most recent is when the U.S. Department of Education announced that Tufts University had failed to comply in the way it handles issues related to sexual assaults.

The university wrote it was disappointed and surprised with the government’s finding and added it had a deep commitment to the well-being and safety of its students.

Now the White House has decided to get more specific. It has now emphasized the importance of using confidential advocates. This clarifies what was confusing for many that not all on college campuses have a duty to report.

Recently campus officials have said that all their employees needed to report every detail of what happened to officials. However, the report said that could mean control is quickly lost by the survivor over what takes place next.

Many advocates insist the survivors should never lose control over what takes place next.

The White House report calls for more training for those dealing with sexual violence issues on campuses across the country.
