It is reported that iphone will have a sapphire display- a protective glass screen which cannot be broken by anything except if you drive a car over it.

According to some rumors that only few models of iphone 6 will have this display as it is extremely costly. The other explanation for it is that Apple desires to release it in September and it is not possible for the company to get Sapphire display for all the phones.
Brian Huh, a senior analyst at NPD Display Search, said that GT Advanced technology is only able to manufacture this glass for around 45 million smart phones whereas Apple has given order for 68 million screens. It is expected that the company would not be able to reach the given target.

Consequently, those iphone 6 which will have the highest storage of 64 GB will contain this protective screen. Since it is very obvious that the price of smart phone is directly connected to its storage memory storage memory, increase the storage and the price will all raise. As it can be clearly seen in the difference of the price of iphone 5 which have 32 GB memory and which have 64 GB memory. A number of reports say that Apple has plans to launch and iphone 6 with 128 GB internal memory. People are already waiting for this iphone 6 because a video on internet is famous in which several things are done to damage the sapphire screen of iphone 6 but still it is not destroyed.

Outside of its agreement with United Launch Alliance – the multi-billion dollar agreement – the US Air Force released the first up to eight solicitations for space launch services. The solicitation was posted on Federal Business Opportunities on Tuesday and is the perhaps the first noticeable commercial outreach for launch services in a long time.

The National Reconnaissance Office which is responsible for the nation’s spy satellites needs a rocket to put a classified satellite into orbit by 2016.

SpaceX sued the Air Force in protest of its latest sole-source launch contract which had an $11 billion award for 36 boosters.

The Air Force and United Launch Alliance claim that SpaceX missed its chance when it did not protest the arrangement when it was first made in 2012. Ironically, while the Air Force and SpaceX continue to face each other in court, they are also cooperating to help SpaceX get certified to be competent enough for future US military contracts. By Tuesday the Air Force reported that Space X had completed three consecutive successful launches of its falcon 9 rocket.
General William Shelton, head of Air Force Space Command said that the Air Force has 136 assigned to the certification process and was willing to spend about $100 million in the effort.
Congress is in the process of considering bills ranging from $25 million to $250 million to weigh options and begin work on a new rocket regime. However the Obama administration is reluctant towards the idea and estimates that the engine would cost $4.5 billion.

Alan Estevez, who oversees Department of Defense acquisition told legislators that even optimistically it could take eight years to have a new engine developed and tested. According to Shelton, the Air Force will end its relationship with the United Launch Alliance by the start of the year 2018. Space X plans to introduce a new heavy lift falcon rocket next year, then the company will have rockets at least technically capable of handling most of the military’s launch requirements.

John Taylor, SpaceX spokesman encouraged opening up more National Security Space missions to competitions.

Denis Steele and Tim Williams are the two pilots stationed in Fairbanks, Alaska with NASA at Fort Wainwright for the summer. Dennis and his fellow pilot are to fly 48 hours over Alaska and the Arctic during their stay.

The pilots fly 20 kilometers above sea level which excludes them from over 90% of the Earth’s atmosphere and well above the troposphere. Interestingly the aircraft flown by the two pilots is basically a U-2 spy plane adjusted for non-military work. The U2 was designed in service of the Central Intelligence Agency in 1955 to take pictures of Soviet installations during the Cold War. However the US pilot Francis Gary was shot by the Soviet Union. The US initially attempted to cover the story by claiming that the aircraft belonged to NASA and was being used to monitor weather. To make it sound legit the US planted NASA’s logos on the plane and released a picture of the plane to establish credibility. In fact, this incident occurred in the 60’s and NASA only began using the U-2s by 1971.

The air craft which Dennis and Tim now fly is called ER-2 and is one of the two aircrafts NASA uses for high altitude imaging. The aircraft uses a laser which interacts with the frozen surface of the Earth. It detects the relative variations in the surface of the ice and is recording data so that it can be used to help scientists develop algorithms for a device with a similar purpose to be carried on a satellite which is called ICESAT-2.

The data recorded by this satellite will add to its predecessor ICESAT which recorded data from about 2003 to 2009. Its essential purpose is to assess the state of the ice and determine changes in weather patterns on Earth. The combined data from these missions will be used to assess the effect of the melting polar ice on the sea level rise and the general effect of the ice melt on the weather. The team will fly mission till August 1 of this year.

Mexico City officials reported on Thursday that the first known litter of gray wolves has been born recently. The gray wolf had disappeared completely from the wild in Mexico about three decades ago and this is part of a reintroduction program of the species so that they can no longer remain endangered.

Mexico’s National Commission for Natural Protected Areas stated that these litter sightings were of tremendous value and represented an important step in the recovery program since these pups have never come in contact with humans as opposed to wolves which breed in captivity.
The Mexican Gray Wolf was almost erased from existence in the US Southwest because of hunting, trapping and poisoning. As part of the reintroduction program the first wolves were released in to the wild in the Southwest starting in 1998 focusing mainly on Arizona and New Mexico. Now a US Fish and Wildlife Service has released an annual survey which showed that in January there were at least 83 of these exotic predators in Arizona and New Mexico. Regardless of the efforts of the concerned authorities the Mexican gray wolf remains an endangered species and continuous efforts are required to restore the balance that has been disturbed.

Apple has managed to make settlement with approximately 33 U.S states and regions. They agreed to pay up to 400$ million to customers who bought their e-books. Apple has to face all this because it has violated some anti-trust rules, which compelled the consumers to buy their e-book readers for a higher price.

The final decision was that Apple has to pay back 7 percent to the reader who paid double price for those e-books, that 7% costs 400 million dollar. In order to avoid the ruling Apple was willing to make a settlement with New York State.

 

Therefore, Apple made a plea in October 2013 anti-trust trial and because of that appeal case will revised or you can say re-opened. In that case, Apple has a chance to win it which will lesser the burden of amount a lot and it will be cut down to $50 million dollar. A number of publishers did not even take the trouble to go to the court and made a deal independently.

It is said that only the expenses of those five companies went up to $166 million up till now. Schneiderman issued a press release which states that this is a best instance to show that even the world’s largest companies are not devoid of laws. On the other hand, Apple argued that he has nothing to do with this conspiracy and still believe that they never done anything against the laws.

Smart watches are greatly known as wearable computers. Currently, they are extensive in range with various thrilling functions for instance; Sony smart watch has the technology through which it can work with any smart phone.

Several companies have launched a series of smart watches due to which a watch is often compared with the other smart watch of the same company. Right now, we will do a contrast between Samsung gear live and Samsung gear 2 neo. The most prominent dissimilarity is in the software of both the smart watches Samsung gear live runs on Google Android Os, which obviously has the facility of voice search, whereas Samsung Gear 2 Neo runs on Samsung’s Tizen software which has actually very basic options.

 

There is just a slight difference in its size, gear live is a bit thinner than the other one, that doesn’t make any big difference. When we talk about available colors in both the smart watches then we can easily say that Samsung gear 2 is the champion in it since it has 3 different colors that are black, gold, and orange. When it comes to the size of display screen, display type, water resistance ability, heat rate observer and fitness track then both smart watches stands on the same line with 1.63” screen.

In conclusion, one cannot be the winner because if we look at the appearance then the vote will be for Gear live on the other hand Gear 2 Neo has some certain features which you would not find in Gear live.

Facebook is testing an option that will let people buy directly from the website. Facebook which is the largest social network in the world is trying out a buy button to facilitate users in buying directly from their website instead of just hosting ads.

Even though it seems like an amazing business idea it seems rather ironic considering Facebook CEO Sheryl Sandberg is reported to have said earlier this year that Facebook had no plans to go in to direct e-commerce. Perhaps the idea was motivated by competition, as Twitter and Google. Inc are making it easy for their users to buy goods from their sites. In a Facebook blog post yesterday, the company communicated that the service was being tested with some small and medium-sized businesses in the US.

This is not the first time Facebook is taking such a step but efforts in the past have not really been fruitful an example would be Facebook Credits – a virtual currency – which was later abandoned.

After the initial digestion of the new idea, one starts to wonder how it will exactly work. Well, the information at the moment suggests that transaction privacy is paramount and Facebook said in a blog post that they had taken steps to ensure that the payment experience was safe

Samsung has presented a series of Galaxy smartphone which they have intended to upgrade every year, therefore every year people find a new Galaxy smartphone in the market. Recently Samsung S5 has just landed in the markets; it has an amiable texture with leather back and plastic front. It contains a larger camera with new design and some extremely unique characteristics. Samsung seems much contended after the launch of this product since it has gained a great deal of popularity among youngsters. What they are unaware of is the fact that almost immediately after its inauguration there will be a competitor of it.

Google plans to launch the new version of Nexus in the end of 2014. It will be named as Google Nexus 6 and rumors are going that it will come as rival for Galaxy S5. It will certainly be the toughest competition for Samsung in history since Google’s range of Nexus, up till now, is considered to be the best variety of android smartphones. The Nexus 6 will present a screen of 5.5” with an exceptional screen resolution of 2k display whereas Galaxy S5 has comparatively a slight smaller screen of 5.1”.

The outer side of Samsung Galaxy S5 formed of touch metal finish, on the other hand, Nexus 5 is probably have a lot different appearance, than the usual plastic exterior, of aluminum edges. The only negative aspect of Nexus 6 will be that it would not have an external battery or we can say user cannot switch the battery by them. Both the phones have similar internal storage of 16 and 32 GB with a RAM of 2GB.
