Google Nexus smartwatch concept has us dreaming for the future

I have a confession to make. I’m not a fan of the entire smartwatch idea. Especially after trying out the Pebble, although our pal Robert Nelson loved it in his review. I just can’t see myself actually spending my hard-earned cash on a smartwatch. However, this new concept (not real) video of a Google Nexus watch might change my mind. We’ll just leave this here for you to enjoy for the weekend. The video comes to us from T3, and gives us a pretty amazing look at the potential behind a Google-made Nexus smartwatch. Imagine using the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean quick settings toggle to flip from watch info, to details and battery stats for your smartphone. Now that’s something I could get behind. Checking Google Now, my phone battery, weather, and more all from my watch that syncs to my Nexus 4 – or 5. Wearable technology is going [...]

Unhand that phone! Texting tools for the big screen

Don’t cramp your style texting on that teeny-tiny smartphone. There’s no need, especially when you consider how many apps and services make it easy for you to text from the roomy comfort of your computer’s monitor and keyboard. We tested five services to see how well they worked, and whether they were able to reliably bring the convenience of texting on your smartphone to your PC. The good news: Most were impressive, many are free, and all were easy to use. All of the solutions we tested work with Android phones, as its open nature allows apps more access to your phone’s messages. Apple’s limits are more restrictive, and as such, most of the services we tested don’t work with iOS devices. And, even those that do come with some limitations that make them less than desirable. MobiTexter Like many of the services we tested, MobiTexter (free) works with Android [...]

Chinese app store offers pirated iOS apps without the need to jailbreak

Every iOS owner is faced with an important, life-altering decision: to jailbreak their device or not. If you’re not a fan of spending a ton of cumulative money on relatively inexpensive app purchases, you might want to turn to piracy; however, you can’t get pirated apps without jailbreaking your device and relinquishing any of Apple’s official features. Thanks to a Chinese piracy site, though, you can now obtain pirated apps on your device without needing to jailbreak. Jailbreaking an iOS device isn’t difficult nowadays; it just requires you to click the mouse a few times and then find something to do while it installs. Current jailbreaks are relatively safe as well — if your device accidentally powers down during the installation process, nothing is harmed, and you don’t become the new owner of a fancy brick. The biggest downside to jailbreaking an Apple device is you regularly need to avoid [...]

EC investigates Samsung over alleged abuse of FRAND patent standards to beat Apple

The European Commission has called for an investigation into Samsung with allegations that Samsung has used FRAND (fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory) licensing of patents against Apple. If Samsung loses the case, this could potentially force the completely withdrawal of all complaints it has against Apple. According to FOSS Patents, the FRAND patent holder can ask for reasonable compensation but the patent holder isn’t allowed to overcharge or try to kill products as long as the user is willing to sign an agreement. Apple has filed many countersuits against Samsung and some of those are FRAND related. The European Commission investigation into Samsung was confirmed today. The investigation is looking into patents that Samsung holds that are “essential to wireless communications.” Samsung says that it will cooperate fully with the investigation. A representative for the EC points out that the investigation is standard procedure and not something special in this instance. [...]
