Intel investigation into the sale of fake processors Core i7

Many clients have reported that they had the bad surprise to receive a crude imitation of the Intel Core i7 they had ordered to Newegg. Intel has acknowledged that at least one false Intel Core i7 circulated in the U.S. market and launched an investigation into the matter.

The case began Friday, March 5 when a client Newegg webshop specializes in computer equipment, said they had received a carbon copy of the Intel Core i7 which was ordered. In place of the quad-processor, it was left with an ordinary piece of metal, plastic mold as a heat sink and a textbook with blank pages. Newegg immediately returned a true Core i7 to the client.

The “CPUs” in question were purchased between Mar. 1, and Mar. 4, according to a Newegg statement, and have FPO/BATCH# 3938B006 printed on the packaging. “Additionally, the Part Number on the heat sink will read CNFN936612 and there will be no wiring on the heat sink itself,”

According to the site HardOCP, many buyers have been victims of this deceit. If good faith Newegg does not seem challenging, the problem is unclear. The seller says that these are demo versions that have crept in error in an order they received from a wholesaler.

But HardOCP quotes a statement sent by Intel, which indicates that it is in any sample demonstration and they had never seen before. The mystery remains unsolved, especially ‘HardOCP even said they have received threatening letters from the wholesaler involved for revealing the affair.

Sony is hoping Android PlayStation

In recent months there have been numerous reports of new Android phones from various manufacturers – HTC, Motorola and Samsung. All of them want to jump on the train or even share some time on the operating system. A name previously entered in rare phenomenon – Sony Ericsson. But now the Japanese-Swedish manufacturer responded and announced new Android phones with a new interface.

Two years of development work put in the new interface – the manufacturer wants to score with new features. According to a report by Wired, the developers of Sony Ericsson put more than two years in the development of the new interface. Meaning and purpose it was to collect multimedia and contacts from social networks on a single platform .

SonyEricsson thus starts a trial with its MotoBLUR the Motorola or HTC with sense some time ago had begun. “We have the complex PlayStation middleware where streamlined to fit in Android OS,” said George Arriola from Wired.

Later this quarter, SonyEricsson in the United States wants its new Android phones get into the trade including the Xperia X10 with 4-inch touch screen, 1-GHz Snapdragon CPU and 8.1-megapixel camera, or the Mini, a compact mobile phone with 2.6-inch display – either as a touch-screen model, or with fold-out keyboard.

From the perspective of the Sony wired interface that provides “visually attractive yet on” approach in comparison to current competitors in the centre of the Sony . UXP-interface is a widget called ‘Timescape’. “Timescape” collects feeds from social networks and presents them in a map view. In addition, it also collects messages and posts on Facebook and Co.

Sony, however, continues to embrace multimedia and want to show with “Mediascape” its approach to better presentation and management of video, music and photos. The icon – known from the PSP or PlayStation Network World – designed to ensure the best possible overview. Sony Ericsson’s UI UXP is for Android much less confusing than the MotoBlur interface and significantly revamped as the HTC Sense,” says Wired.

Apple iPad or HP Slate? Flash or no flash?

Apple has unsheathed Apple iPad through an advertisement at the Oscars on Sunday. HP responded on Monday on the Internet by introducing Hp slate. Apple loves Hollywood ceremonies. At the Grammy’s, Stephen Colbert had a lather with iPad on stage. Sunday at the Oscars, Steve Jobs took out his tuxedo and the firm at the apple has beaten three spots of 30 seconds in the space of two hours, taking advantage of an audience of 40 million viewers-the one of the strongest after the Super Bowl.

For Apple, but 30 seconds in his highly effective “There Goes My Love by The Blue Van. The emphasis is on simplicity of interface and functionality (read a book, The New York Times, watch Star Trek, lay out a document, sorting his emails etc). A single message: “April 3, date of availability iPad WiFi in the U.S. (late April for the 3G model in other countires)

Opposite cordial HP, Adobe and Microsoft : HP had been rather low profile since the brief presentation of its Slate PC by Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer at CES last January. Still no official release date prices or technical specifications announced by the company. Monday, however, HP has posted a note on his official blog, including a video posted Friday on YouTube.

On a techno rhythm, assembly very epileptic shows broadly similar functions to those of the iPad. Main difference between Apple I pad and the HP Slate is that it runs under Windows 7. The war raged among technophiles to decide if this is a positive or negative.

Flash, savior of the universe

In terms of interface, it is rather a handicap. Windows 7 handles the touch. Side features, however, is a question of philosophy. Windows 7 means Adobe Flash and Air, on which HP focuses its communication by promising access to “all the Internet, including Flash” (which does not support iPad).

Videos, interactive sites, small online games … The owner closed plugin from Adobe has become a standard content. Advocates of free software see it still like a cancer responsible for many bugs on the verge of extinction, including the future democratization of HTML5 for videos.

On its touch devices, Apple has chosen to boycott Flash. Reason semi-official: greedy, and most importantly, the Adobe plugin is based on the movements of the mouse (mouse-over etc.) to trigger actions. Problem, touch screens remove the slider and the navigation is to review in part. Another significant reason: banish Flash allows Apple to protect its iTunes model + apps for games. In short, everyone defends his business.

Lower version of Nexus One for India Why? An analysis

Google India has given hint that the company is busy in planning a stripped down version of nexus one for India which will offer at relatively low price. The nexus one mobile phone will not be power- packed and offers less features to Indians. Now the question arises why the lower range for the Nexus One? and how it will be helpful for Google ? The lower version of Nexus one which will be introduced shortly will definitely help Google to achieve sales target . The analysts were rave about the Nexus One. Doug Anmuth Barclays Capital estimated that Google would sell between 5 and 6 million the first year.(http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20100106/google-to-sell-5-6-million-nexus-ones-in-2010/)

Goldman Sachs table to share on 3.5 million Nexus One sold in 2010. Finally, Mark Mahaney of Citigroup is a little more reserved: 1 million in the worst case, 3 million in the best case for 2010.

With a little hindsight, it seems that moving more on sales of around one million units only 5 or 6.

The opinion of Goldman Sachs analyst is a bit inflamed at the presentation of the Nexus One. He now believes that Google will be able to sell one million this year.

And we hope that the stripped down version of Nexus One will definitely help Google to increase the sales of handset because India has lots of potential for smart handsets.
