iPhone 6 to come in two screen sizes

iPhone 6 to come in two screen sizes: Report
The latest report on iPhone 6 says that the model will come in two screen sizes – 4.7-inch and 5.7-inch.

 iPhone is once again in the rumour mill, with speculation mostly centred around the upcoming model's screen size. 

The latest report on iPhone 6 comes courtesy Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, where a user called C Technology has posted that the model will come in two screen sizes - 4.7-inch and 5.7-inch. Citing Foxconn executives, the post says that the two models will feature eye scanning biometric technology, along with the Touch ID fingerprint scanner. 

The report also says that the screen size of the upcoming iPhone phablet may vary. The Wall Street Journal has earlier reported that Apple is experimenting with an iPhone with 6-inch display. 

An earlier report by Chinese technology website Digitimes also says that the next iPhone will have a 4.7-inch screen and may be unveiled as soon as May 2014. This model will be developed using the 20nm processer by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. 

It is expected that the upcoming iPhone 6 will have a 64-bit A8 processor, scratch-resistant sapphire glass body, wireless charging and built-in solar panel. 

Wells Fargo analysts have downgraded the Apple stock from 'Outperform' to 'Market Perform' over concerns about the price of iPhone 6. The investment bank is concerned that the profit margins of iPhone 6 would be lesser than that of current and previous models since the component cost would be higher. After the downgrade, Apple shares fell 1.4%.

Apple is also expected to unveil the iPad Pro tablet with a 12.9-inch high-resolution screen this year, which will be aimed at students and business users and replace the Macbook Air. Other rumoured products in the company's 2014 lineup include a smartwatch and a HDTV.

LIST OF ELECTRONICS PROJECTS AND CIRCUITS......

The world’s smallest computer measures just one cubic millimetre.

world's_smallest_computer
World’s smallest computer, measuring in at just over one cubic millimeter, this miniscule microprocessor was designed as an implantable eye pressure monitor for glaucoma patients. You may think something this size would have to scrimp on the hardware, but modern nanotechnology allows the computer to contain a microprocessor, pressure sensor, battery, memory chip, and a tiny antenna that allows it to transmit data to a reader device placed near the eye. 
The system takes 15 minutes to collect pressure data and requires 10 hours of indoor light or an hour and a half of sunlight to recharge its battery. This opens the door for millimeter-sized systems in the future with all sorts of applications. Nanotechnology such as this could be used for constant monitoring of other body parts, the environment, or for making virtually any item ‘smart‘ and thereby traceable!

7 Most Stylish Hollywood Celeb Kids of 2013.....

Although we can’t boast of a time machine, it ain’t difficult to hazard a guess as to who will be hogging the fashion headlines ten years from now.
7 Most Stylish Hollywood Celeb Kids of 2013
Forget all the yummy mummies, these days it is their kids who are stealing all the spotlight. Here’s a look at the fashion brigade’s newest recruits:

Aila Wang
1

At the wee age of four, this little stunner is making heads turn with her miniature fur coats and mini leather skirts. Given that she is the niece of legendary designer Alexander Wang, the killer dressing sense probably comes as part of the lineage.

Harper Seven Beckham
2

At an age when we were still trying to get the alphabet right, li’l Beckham is fielding off modeling offers. Zero points for guessing where she gets that poshness from. 

Mason Disick
3


Some rave about his dressing style, others dig the way Kourteney Kardashian’s son co-ordinates his ensembles with those of his parents.’ All we’d like to say is that any kid who can rock a hat like him has our undying respect.

Suri Cruise
3

Meet Hollywood’s pint-sized darling who is known to step out in nothing lesser than a perfectly co-ordinated outfit, helped along with her killer taste in shoes and accessories; we spy a fashionista in training.

Flynn Bloom
4

Given that he has Miranda Kerr, a Victoria’s Secret model and sex icon for a mom, we guess it’d be safe to bet that Flynn Bloom has style and flair programmed into his genes.

Romeo Beckham
5

While sister Harper is fielding off modeling contracts, the second Beckham guy is busy being named the Most Stylish Kid in Britain and modeling for Burberry. Plus, the guy can carry off a hat. Respect.

Marion & Tabitha Broderick

Stealing the spotlight from Sarah Jessica Parker is a job we never thought possible, but suffice it to say that her twin mini-fashionistas have the style gurus wrapped around their tiny pink finger.

MTV names Miley Cyrus 2013 Artist of the Year ......


The former child star twerked her way to the top. Her eye-popping duet with Robin Thicke on the MTV Video Music Awards was one of the year's most talked about cultural events.

MTV said the VMA duet on "We Can't Stop" and "Blurred Lines" was the year's most watched video on its websites. Similarly, the MTV artist site devoted to Cyrus had more visits than any other artist's.

Besides "We Can't Stop," the song "Wrecking Ball" and album "Bangerz" were big hits for Cyrus, who also had notable appearances on "Saturday Night Live" and MTV's European music awards show.

MTV executives pick their top artist. One Direction won last year, and Katy Perry won the year before.

This year, Cyrus was an easy choice, said Amy Doyle, head of MTV's music and talent programming strategy.

"She dominated the music charts and critics' best-of lists while creating some of the year's most memorable moments," Doyle said.

Obama, Cameron 'selfie' at Mandela memorial causes online stir!!!!

Obama, Cameron 'selfie' at Mandela memorial causes online stir
In a candid moment, Denmark's Helle Thorning-Schmidt can be seen holding up her smartphone, with Obama lending a helping hand.
PARIS: US President Barack Obama may have moved the masses attending Nelson Mandela's memorial service with his stirring eulogy today, but it was his grinning "selfie" with the Danishand British premiers that set social networks abuzz.

In a candid moment captured by AFP photographer Roberto Schmidt, Denmark's Helle Thorning-Schmidt can be seen holding up her smartphone, with Obama lending a helping hand, as they pose for a picture with David Cameron, all three of them smiling broadly in their seats at Soweto's World Cup stadium.

First Lady Michelle Obama, sitting to the left of her husband, does not join in with the lighthearted moment, keeping her eyes firmly trained on the podium where world leaders were paying tribute to South Africa's anti-apartheid hero Mandela, who died Thursday aged 95.

The so-called selfie — short for self-portrait — was quickly picked up by major international news outlets and went viral on social media sites, with many questioning whether the moment of mirth was appropriate for the occasion.
