I have heard of humans being tortured so that important information can be extracted from them, and this tends to happen in times of war more often than not, but who would have thought that “torturing” smartphones, too, would be able to yield a somewhat similar result? Well, we are not exactly going to waterboard an Android-powered smartphone per

Samsung is a company that has a rather wide product portfolio, especially in the consumer electronics segment where they intend to target the entire market spectrum, starting from the entry level and working their way up to the mid-range and high end markets. Well, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 which was introduced at last month’s MWC 2013 does s

There are talks between two companies, Verizon and Vodafone, going on which hopes to see both of them resolve their current dispute, and we have word from the ground (anonymous sources, as usual), where Bloomberg cited that both carriers have disagreed where leadership matters are concerned, as well as where the new headquarters should be located.
