Announcement of the next Ice Cream Sandwich and Nexus is rescheduled
When Samsung and Google have decided to postpone the event to launch the next Nexus speculation was that it would have been made with respect to the death of the co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs. Also came the rumor that the device would show that they infringe certain patents that are involved in one of dozens of lawsuits and so presumably the new collective happen in a place where there is no process yet. Confirming (or not) this rumor, the conference was rescheduled for the city of Hong Kong.
The invitation to the press yesterday said the new conference will take place at 10 am this day 19 months at the exhibition center of the city and also points out that the announcement will be broadcast live on in the Android YouTube channel. For those who want to follow here in Brazil, the conference should take place at midnight on the day 19 GMT.
Samsung has already hinted what it is to present to the past, releasing a teaser video. And some pictures of the supposed Galaxy Nexus or Nexus Prime has also leaked to the mountains, along with their technical specifications. What are we waiting for now is only the official confirmation of the name of your hardware, and with any luck, a release date and price. Fortunately we need only wait until next Wednesday.
Until then, stay with the video showing the newest symbol of Android being placed on the campus of Google, along with the others.

Skype leaves the Google search bar
Microsoft today announced they have completed the acquisition of Skype. It is no surprise, therefore, find that the current installer Skype has abandoned a feature.
"In new version of Skype offers we have removed the Google product flow installation of Skype," Skype said in the release notes for Skype 5.6 for Windows.
The question is whether the new command will give Skype the blessed plugin that automatically turns all phone numbers on web pages seen in dialable options (write anyway), entitled to bond with just one click and using Skype (obviously ) as a way to make the call. I think disabling this plugin is the first thing I do after installing Skype on some machine.
It also remains to be seen whether Skype will get a bar of Bing soon. Admittedly, it makes sense for Microsoft to adopt this strategy, although it is irritating to the geek community.

Find My Friends App Catches Wife Cheating
Upgrading to iOS 5 launched by Apple last week brought a slew of news. And for a particular user, also brought a new not very pleasant the discovery that his wife is not as accurate as the matrimonial provided.
According to a thread created by the forum ThomasMetz MacRumors site, the user found that his wife was cheating on her after she said she was in a place, but the application Find My Friends showed women in another place.
ThomasMetz gave an iPhone 4S for his wife and installed the Find My Friends without her knowing. The application displays the location of other friends on the map. On any given day she said she would meet a friend in an area of New York City. But when I decided to check ThomasMetz, opening the Find My Friends, realized that she was elsewhere. And to prove it, took the screenshots you see above.
Obviously, all this can deal only with a false story to get attention. But it also highlights some privacy issues involving geolocation services, and are becoming increasingly embedded in programs and mobile phones. And as demonstrated here, Find My Friends Apple is a very invasive and ... wait a minute.
Oh! Apparently anyone with more than two neurons can disable it. Forget the issue of privacy then.

Fall of BlackBerry services decreased traffic accidents
If you have a BlackBerry device then probably you was one of those affected by the fall of the company's services last week. In the list of consequences of this decline are some items already nervous as users expected, loss of important messages, possible financial losses and many others. But one particular consequence was something nobody could have predicted: the days of unavailability of services from RIM, traffic accidents decreased for two Arab cities.
Those who claim they are the chiefs of police of the city of Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, and Dubai, the second largest city in the nation. They say they saw a 40% drop in accidents in the first and 20% drop in second, both during the period in which the BlackBerry services were unavailable.
Be smart: make pairing the BlackBerry in the car and do not send SMS.
The police chief Gen Dahi Khalfan Tamim, and Brig Gen Hussein Al Hareth said this was because, due to the decline of services, BlackBerry users could not read e-mails or texting with their phones while driving, which forced them to pay more attention to the traffic.
As Abu Dhabi has a lot of businesses and commercial buildings you expect the number of executives working on them is too high, then the data from the local police to make sense. But another factor may be also pointed out by staff of the Naked Security: the death of national team football in the UAE, Theyab Awana. He died in a traffic accident while sending a message on your BlackBerry, which may have caused a greater awareness of this danger to the Arab population.

iPhone 4S makes absolute success in first weekend
The success of the iPhone 4S was confirmed on Monday by Apple. In a statement, the company headed by Tim Cook said that 4 million smartphone units were sold in the first weekend. Not bad for a device that Apple enthusiasts frustrated at first, right?
"The iPhone 4S is a hit with consumers around the world, and together with iOS 5 and iCloud is the best phone of all time," said Phil Schiller, VP for global product marketing, in a statement. According to Schiller, for more than 20 million users of iOS 5 in the world. It was expected, given that the latest system for smartphones Apple works on three generations of the iPhone: 4S, 4 and 3GS.
iPhone 4S
The information disclosed by Apple contrasts with the initial reaction of anyone that loves technology and accompanied the launch of the iPhone 4S (did the-minute coverage here): frustration.
I have seen some sites where information is questioning the failure originally planned for the new iPhone. I speak for myself: I never imagined drop in iPhone sales later. The Apple smartphone is an electronic popular not only in the technology, but in the daily lives of ordinary users as well. There is a vast market of eager devices with the famous apple in his back. It's not because he was frustrated with the lack of killer features that a buyer will leave Apple to buy an iPhone with more powerful processor, better camera, video recording at 1080p and virtual assistant Siri.

To reach the figure of 4 million units Apple has sold worldwide launch of the iPhone 4S in very important markets. Follow the list of nations where the smartphone is on sale for Friday: Germany, Australia, Canada, United States, France, Japan and the United Kingdom. With such a riot, it's no surprise that the device has sold 135% more than the iPhone 4 in its first weekend (as provided by Asymco).
The base price of the iPhone is $ 199 for the 16GB model, provided the customer agrees to a 2 year contract with Apple's partner carriers. The same value is repere with minor adjustments in other countries and conversions. For Brazil usually worth the price of the unlocked smartphone, which is $ 649 (expensive!) by the same 16 GB.
In the iPhone 4S Tupiniquins land must come only at the end of the year when the unit is officially "in over 70 countries" (Apple's words).
