According to several sources close to the site The Verge, Intel is behind the production of machines capable of booting Windows and Android operating systems at the same time. And, to better show the “dual OS”, the company will present their idea during CES 2014 that will be held from 7 to 10 January in Las Vegas, in the United States.

The concept, already used by Acer in a PC, seeks to reverse the low sales of personal computers in recent months – that only in 2013 showed a decline of 7.6% the 2nd automakers. In Intel chips, Android will run through virtualization techniques, allowing simultaneous execution of both operating systems applications.

The problem, however, is that the sources cited by The Verge show that neither Google nor Microsoft are in favor of the idea. “Microsoft does not want that to happen,” said an analyst at Moor Insights and Strategy, Patrick Moorhead, to the site.

If the hybrid engine will be well received by users, only Intel can show during CES 2014. The company’s presentation at the event is scheduled for next Monday, at 14 o’clock, so be tuned for more updates!

Myths and facts about Android: does everything they say is real? - Tech & Net

Urban legends involve all parts of our daily lives, some horror and other simple common sense that are passed from one person to another. The Android operating system has also become a victim of these stories, and many of them do not have any kind of truth. Let us know some rumors and trivia about the little robot Google?

Android is devoted to the devil!

This story became widespread when some users have found that to get into the smartphone settings and click several times to find out what your version, appeared the image of a little robot next to a “zombie cookie” to. To create stories in people’s minds was a leap. What no one knew is that this is actually an easter egg (secret / surprise) present on all Android devices from version 2.3 operating. “The art was placed there to represent a mixture of modernity, the little robot, and something like an ancient magic that would create a crowd of zombies,” said Jack Larson, the artist creator of the design. Therefore, we can continue smoothly using Android devices without fear that our soul is at stake.

Android Phones catch more than the competition

This is another story that appeared without people to know the real reason. The Android system was to always be accessible to all, for this plan, he should adapt to various types of equipment and different brands. The problem created by this decision is that Google had no control of the apparatus used by brands and many of these devices had lower settings, making the operation was hampered. The big change came with the arrival of increasingly modern smartphones and reducing the cost of producing them, giving the chance that all people could have cell quality. There was something similar to the relationship of the quality of the touchscreen Android handsets and competition, and were almost the same reasons as the previous problem. Devices with different technology and lower prices would not have the same advantages, but it is a thing of the past and the little robot does not have anything to lose anyone.

There are no quality apps

The Android OS is opensource , so anyone can develop applications for it, but this does not mean low quality. At first, like any other brand, finding safe and quality for developing apps sources was a struggle, and most of the applications that were launched in the play were adaptations of competition. Time passed, with the power of Google and largest public consumer brand, competition for developing virtual tools became increasingly fierce day. This growth in consumption meant that applications were better produced and updates masted increasingly better the needs of people. This story that applications are not good is thing of the past, since besides the quality, the play has much of its offered products for free.

Android is complicated

Android Logo The last of the stories is that Android is complicated. Many say that competition is most elemental and the Operating System from Google is tough learning, which goes far from the truth. Apart out of the box ready to use without the need for updates or connections to a server, the features of the handset are rather intuitive and can be learned and used by anyone. Therefore, there is nothing complicated in the use of Android, it’s just a matter of adapting each of the most widely used worldwide operating system.

These are some of the many stories about the little robot ever created Google. You already know some of them or heard something out there? Know any stories about Android that do not list? Leave your suggestion in the comments or opinions on the subject.

Much has been leaked on the Normandy Nokia, Android input device that Nokia is developing. When rumors began to emerge about it, many did not believe, especially with the purchase of Nokia devices and services sector by Microsoft. Others believed that the development of this device was just to force Microsoft to purchase.

Now we have a picture of the connected device running Android operating system. We should note that there is no logo on the Nokia device. Apart from that, everything seems to be within the compliant and one capacitive button. It is also possible that the device is dual-SIM by what we see in the notifications.

He supposedly is a unit of Asha line, running on Series 40. Does a device that would make you successful? [WPDang]

[CES 2014 - Audi and Google announce Android-based system ... - Xpert Mobile

The idea is that Android works as a centerpiece of entertainment and information for drivers. Also according to sources who spoke to the WSJ, Android will “ allow drivers and passengers to access music, navigation, apps and services similar to those which are now widely available on smartphones with Android. ” So it is not hard to imagine the new features that cars have, such as integrated GPS, just to name one example. In addition, Google also would be closing a partnership with Nvidia, known hardware manufacturer, so in an effort they make Android an important technology for future vehicles. The information on this new endeavor are scarce, the text of the WSJ itself is pretty poor for more information, but the two companies plan to reveal more details about this plan already at CES (Consumer Electronic Show) will begin on June 07 (Tuesday Friday).

Coincidentally or not, this seems to be a new technology race since the last WWDC, which occurred in June 2013, Apple also unveiled plans for a technology to be used in cars. I’m talking about the “iOS in the Car”, which will integrate the mobile system of apple with several cars. Manufacturers like Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Audi to Own shown interest in this future technology. Apple proposes that with iOS in the Car drivers may have a control of calls and messages, as well as be able to use Siri and take information from satellites, among other things.

seems that this marriage between gadgets and cars is the next evolutionary step in technology. Let’s wait and see what will come out of this new technology race.

Android devices are those that spend more data - TeK.sapo

The data are from a study of Ericsson, unsurprisingly, also puts the tops of the range of the mobile operating system from Google in the set of devices that more data on average spend (4GB per month).

There are several factors that explain the situation, starting with the size of the screens. With larger screens and usually resolution images downloaded to Android phones also end up being higher. Addition, such devices are also commonly used for watching movies and other videos.

The version of the operating system also influences the consumption data. The study indicates the inefficiency of Android in general, to manage applications in the background compared to iOS, at least until the Jelly Bean version, since that’s something supposedly improved in Android 4.4 KitKat.

The report speaks of mismanagement of closure of applications, even if they are not in use, keep running in the background, connecting to the network and downloading data.

Lovoo: last chance for company to ... - TeK.sapo

If you are a shy person and need technologies that help in the contact with new people, get to know the Lovoo application has enormous potential to solve this challenge. And you can do it via a slick and appealing interface.

At first the user is invited to create a profile which can be based on Facebook, so that the software can detect what their preferences.

Then just start looking for your soul mate. One of the most interesting features is in correspondence taking into account the proximity of people. Each person can set a distance for people who would like to know. In Portugal, for example, this limit can include men and women in Spain

The Lovoo has however a negative point, but which may prove to be overcome. Portuguese-based users is low. It is possible to find a few dozen matches the radius of “action” is in the hundreds of kilometers, but if reduced to just a few dozen, then there will feel like the last glass of water in the desert.

But who knows if it will not be so positive, right? Happy 2014.
