Intel recently finally released the much anticipated product of Ivy Bridge chips, however, provides users with a strong performance at the same time, chip is overheating the problem has attracted the attention of many people. A few weeks ago, Overclockers.net found a possible reason, that is heatsink for Intel CPU core and an exposed using only ordinary grease, and not on the Sandy Bridge processor heat sink before excellent Gan-free welding process.

Now, Japan site PC Watch on a Overclokers.net basis to the next step and Core i7-3770K for two good thermal paste to see how it works. From jump Hou of pictures in the we see: in default 3.5GHz of situation Xia, using Freeze Extreme Silicon fat of chip temperature for 53 of, and using Liquid Pro thermal cream of is for 50 of, phase more replaced Qian of 61 of respectively fell has 8 of and 11 of; and in overclocking 4.6GHz of situation Xia effect more display with, two species Silicon fat temperature for 69 of and 64 of, respectively fell has 15 of and 20 of. Heat dissipation better I think we all understand that in case of higher CPU performance, and Ivy Bridge has been hidden for so long created after this kind of problem, the truth that really should not. Intel, do not think the 22nm process would not be caught Oh, Jerry, users can now be removed.

Innovation with Smartphone application features, boundaries are increasingly spread of mobile communication features. Under the background of this industry, operators targeting subdivision features custom fields are now beginning to trend. Recently, Shanghai Unicom’s first individual areas of financial payments, introduced Green mobile phone payment instrument “Tong fubao” is one example.

It is reported that “General fubao”, Shanghai, Shanghai Unicom is in line with the plan of action for promoting the construction of intelligent city 2011-2013 “social utility and public service” the electronic billing service platform construction of key projects, Hui payment card product developed on the basis of multiple billing inquiries, payment tools, provide user billing timing push and secure payment feature.

China Unicom to reporters, “Tong fubao” covers several major features, such as billing timing push, secure payment, remote payment application features including mobile phone charging, mobile phones to buy lottery tickets, cinema tickets, game cards, online subscriptions, such as newspapers and magazines.

　Unicom services extension first financial payment

As one of the smart phone features of future trends, near-field inductive (NFC) mobile payments is a big focus. Personal payment from the Bank of fixed network of finance “restrictions” at the same time, have spawned a lot of emerging markets, operators is also the jump, their layout article.

This reporter learned from the interchange, the first open “pass fubao” business processes required by the user is not complicated. When applications open, just before renewal of Shanghai Unicom’s wisdom card into the phone, bank card bound by a Union flag, no need to open online banking.

/The daily news

Now all large phone manufacturers in design production intelligent phone Shi, a important of considered factors is it of lens. currently 5 million pixel of lens only said does not is behind, 8 million pixel of only is now of standard. but, we also will found sometimes as Prime does not and took out of photos quality into is proportional to the. actually, does not should just to as Prime to comparison phone lens of bad, actually it by many factors decided.

Just recently, Samsung released its most popular in the history of Galaxy s II’s successor, Global Edition quad-core carrying Android Samsung Galaxy s ICS III. after a new release, people comment on it very cluttered. some people say just a 8MP camera to allow Samsung to be proud.

May zhiqian rumors in the of 12MP lens hanging foot has members of appetite, but actually 8MP does does not is what progress. phase comparison Samsung of competition opponents, HTC Titan II has 16MP of lens, also has crazy of Nokia Pureview 808 Shang amazing of 41MP lens. Despite currently intelligent phone Shang of mainstream configuration is 8MP of lens, but members also will think it has obsolete behind has. and, Samsung Shang a paragraph top flagship Samsung Galaxy Nexus only has 5 million pixel camera, so that everyone is relatively disappointing.

However, this does not mean that slag quality is of 5MP photos, some of them better than the 8MP. for consumers, 8 million more than 5 million sounds good forever, so, 12MP is also more attractive than the 8MP.

But familiar photography of package will told you just with pixel measure lens is is too small white has. like, Samsung of Focus with it 5 million pixel of lens can took out quality better of photos, full pressure had carrying 8MP lens of Motorola Droid Razr. Apple iPhone 4 Shang of 5MP lens also also to than many 8MP lens has better of photo quality, in low light Xia of performance also better.

Of course, this is not to tell you that bigger is not better. for example, HTC One X,HTC Titan II, they can take better quality pictures.

So, take better photos of formula is it? it involves the entire camera modules, including the size of the lens material, image sensor, image processor, and software to link them together. of course, if you are a photography in God, you can not see this article here.

Key #1: sensor

Tongzimen is earnestly telling you of the many photographic camera optical structure is the most important thing in the sensor, because it is to catch the light element. base component of the entire camera: there is no light, no photo.

After the light through the lens, are processed when it reaches the sensor into a digital signal. after the processor receives the image signal in order to optimize it.

Usually the sensor is very important. greater area, means that the pixel, the more, in turn, means more light collected. When you catch enough light for a long time, will be able to take good pictures.

Relationship between the sensor and pixel can often be explained by a method of comparison images: pixel is a bucket and sensors is the barrel. If you’re trying to be more water (light), area of the barrel is very important. that’s why 8 million pixel DSLR picture quality is much better than the 10MP camera of the mobile phone.

A fallacy is that you can reduce the pixel on pixel size, which in the case of not changing the sensor area increased resolution. but so that makes light work of time gets longer, resulting in more noise.

Processor area may be reasons for restricting the 12MP camera appeared on smart phones. of current mobile phone designs tended to be light, without a larger sensor, 12MP performance may be worse than the 5MP.

So Nokia Pureview 808 of 41MP lens is how thing does? Nokia engineer explained said, despite 808 maximum can support 41MP, but general situation Xia are default for 5 million pixel. Nokia of “had sampling” technology is it of roots. in other words, each a you see of pixel points are is by 7 a pixel composition of, dang you zoom photos Shi, are of not fuzzy of photos, But the original pixel. this technology can be described as taking a great photo, and then narrowing it. According to the Nokia engineers introduced, Pureview after 5 years of design, high pixel-and not just because of its larger sensor, but also because of a unique algorithm. of course, Pureview 808 sensor itself is very large, even more than some of the cards.

Key #2: image processing

Dropped outside the lens quality, sensor size, there is still a key image processing. most of the high-end Smartphone CPU have built-in image processing module. this image does not rely solely on software, hardware acceleration, rendering images, video and games is no reason to rely on the main processor.

In zhiqian end of MWC Shang, HTC describes has One series in the unique of independent image processor, called HTC ImageChip. it can makes camera to in 0.7 seconds of time in the continuous shooting. are because image processor, HTC One series of global version and United States version can has also of photo time, regardless of they carrying of is four nuclear Nvidia Tegra 3 also is double nuclear Qualcomm Snapdragon S4. image processor also can solution shooting delay of problem Does not occur after the click the shoot button will generate a picture.

Of course, dropping more than two key components, integral parts of the camera quality is also critical. good phone camera may be more expensive than General mobile phone more than twice times, to $ 15.

Of course, the user experience is a must. for example, how to shoot from the lock screen interface, speed of photos, and a number of special shooting mode. some specific features, such as smile detection, also suffer from user welcoming. Instagram like image processing mode is also very important.

As odd Tiger 360 Chairman Hongwei Zhou in micro-Bo in the high profile announced entered phone area, cannot help but let many people to concern of focus put in has Hongwei Zhou of “old friends” Lei Jun who, because as phone area of pioneer, Lei Jun and he of millet has in phone area get has must of accumulation, and by massive of publicity offensive, “millet phone” brand has became has a beyond has millet phone itself of things.

Since the birth of millet, a lot of public opinion had been “successful” cap of the buckle on the phone the millet available only a few months on the product, but it seems to Hongwei Zhou, millet is known as the “success”, and is the only “gave you a good start.” More and more celebrities in the industry and consumer questions, “millet brand hype was a great success, but do not see the people around you? “Even the Lei Jun also had to issue requests on his personal Twitter: someone said he didn’t see the others with millet, so sales of millet is false. The problem is hard to defend, if you see, help forward!

“Successful” marketing support

In this year of May 4, millet invited has including media zainei of user participation has its open day of activities, except millet of home outside, first opening millet customer service center, and Logistics Center, media and public are can appointment visit, more watch millet phone from Xia single to distribution cargo of all process, and has opportunities in professionals of guide Xia personally experience once millet phone packaging distribution of work.

According to the Nanfang daily reporter has learned that the millet mobile phone factory for INVAR, its role as a factory has been in existence for many years, but open to the public and media for open opportunities are few and far between.

“This is the difference of brand marketing. “Jiang Yu, head of brand consulting company in an interview with Diario reporter argued millet brand marketing is undoubtedly the success of the mobile phone. “Through the perspective of an open mind and take the initiative to communicate with the media and the public and Exchange, you can quickly enhance the brand awareness, can also deepen brand awareness and understanding in the media, the media also became millet’s ‘ friend ‘. Or directly to upgrade the status of millet in the mobile phone industry and communication effect. ”

Millet mobile marketing strategy did allow it to obtain very high transmission rates. Up to press time, Baidu search for “millet phone” keyword results about 14.8 million, Google search results of 109 million, on the hottest network marketing platform for SINA microblog “millet mobile” content of up to 12,830,824.

“Success” lack of product support

“Millet branding was successful, but do not see the people around you? ”

Millet mobile phone users “reach”, believed to be many people in the industry and consumers on the question of the greatest reasons. Even Lei Jun had to come forward to clarify myself on April 7 this year issued his personal Twitter request: someone said he didn’t see others use millet, millet’s sales are false. The problem is hard to defend, if you see, help forward!

Reporters noted that the majority is back so far “haven’t seen. ”

Integrated micro-Bo Lei Jun and millet information published by the company, from August 16 published works to date, millet had reached 1.5 million units of mobile phone sales. 1.5 million for a new mobile phone brand, do have rather good results, but for overall capacity in the market, but is also a “decimal”. Art-Media Advisory (iiMedia Research) data display in 2012, mobile phone sales will reach 300 million. By 2014, China’s mobile phone market sales to more than 330 million.

“Millet production model of the mobile phone has decided for the time being not like including brands such as Apple, or Motorola to get sufficient yield support, and lack of support capacity, both millet’s own network of channels of cooperation for the and operator, will encounter a lot of problems. “Industry pointed out that there is insufficient capacity has made millet cell phone becoming a drag” millet phone “key to branding. Millet phone fans are reflected, while millet products through the introduction of the mobile phone to know that Yes, but each millet phones open scheduled time is very short, very few number, last only “empathy” to other brands above.

According to the Nanfang daily reporter has learned that the millet Mobile has announced a partnership with Unicom last year, become one of Unicom’s contract machines. But with one-day break on the Unicom, 3rd break 100,000 units shipped, millet, phones are “early” stage.

Talk with mother “Mimi”:

Millet founder @ Lei Jun: “millet phone just listed at the end of last year, total amount and other brand there is a difference. ”

Former editor in Chief of the journal entrepreneurs @ Shen YIN: do you think @ millet hunger of mobile marketing success? Millet listed so far, @ Lei Jun’s most successful and most inappropriate moves is what? Millet end-how much can you sell mobile phone the first generation units, 1 million or 5 million or more? Why annual revenue of RMB 7 billion cool only hundreds of millions of dollars in market value of Hong Kong, and millet valuations have reached US $ 1 billion? Carrot millet roads is representative of the future? “

Vice President of Huawei @ Yu Chengdong: “millet released today to see Lei Jun mobile phone, Huawei will go on sale in early October and found its main specifications amazing Honor honor phone line! The same resolution 4 inches of Japan screen, the same bulk 1930mAh and Honor more narrow than the millet phone! More thin! Better appearance and technology! Time to market in early October. Millet has released so much in advance, and we Honor the glory also does not released to the media. We are not good at propaganda! ”

Senior consultant @ rock the heart of the consumer electronics industry: “2 anniversary of millet, a few questions: 1. millet has been shipped? Officials said nearly 1 million, what real? 2. phone millet is a loss or a profit? 3. If 1 million Ministry, badly built in some third-party software alone can support revenue, talk to m and basically abandoned, Triathlon, Internet how to continue? ”

Real name certification users @ Yu Hongzhou: this Department claims override has a again Android, claims enthusiasts custom phone, and claims and jobs speech wear also clothing is coincidence of company just seize has does not knows technology, also total wanted to with technology loaded forced of people of show off psychological, what height custom, is plus has several standard Android no of basic function software, it most success is micro-Bo operation where guest cooperation.

Siri has been introduced is the exclusive function of iPhone 4S, not even new New iPad. But in the latest OS x found Mountain Lion beta of Siri’s gone, we can finally look forward to Siri break boundaries and landing platforms and devices?

OS x-Mountain Lion is the first step for Apple iOS and Mac OS integration, many iOS apps have landed in the OS x version. For example, notification Center (Notification Center), messages (Messages), iCloud, and alerts (Reminders). Although Apple did not mention, but in OS x to join the Siri is by no means impossible.

Foreign site in Mountain Lion found in the beta of Safari browser a number of keyboard shortcuts, one of them is “Dictation”. It is believed that the voice dictation feature of Siri, is what you say, the appliance will then hear what you said. Also because the Mac is using the hardware keyboard, can not automatically join the Siri button, so the two command keys to press to start.

Software companies can build their own smart phone? We’re going to find the answer. Last week, Google officially announced the completion of acquisition of Motorola mobile, the acquisition of up to us $ 12.5 billion, it will cause the search engine Google has the ability to develop your own smart phones. But there is a software company can go into the hardware game: Facebook. Facebook employees and recruitment contacts and Facebook engineers, as well as some people who understand Facebook plans revealed that Facebook plans to launch its own Smartphone next year.

Facebook plans next year, pushing smartphones

These people are only willing to anonymously disclose messages, they fear that the news will jeopardize the organization relationship with Facebook.

Facebook has recruited more than 5 Apple software and hardware engineers, which has been developed for the iPhone-effect, there is one for the iPad.

One sources and contacts and recruiters say this could be Facebook’s third effort to build a smart phone. In 2010, TechCrunch reported that Facebook in the development of smart phones. When companies understand the difficulties to give up. Late last year, AllThingsD reports that Facebook and HTC to develop Smartphone, codenamed “Buffy”, it still continues.

Now, Facebook plans to go further, expanding the Buffy project work, looking for other smart phones project, it has established an experienced hardware team, before these people are developing equipment.

Facebook does not confirm not deny

An engineer had previously worked at Apple, has developed an iPhone, he said he and Facebook founder Zuckerberg (Mark Zuckerberg) met, when he asked a lot of smart phones internal working problems. The engineer said, sounds like a moment of curiosity. He asked a lot of details, including the type of chip used. Also have an Apple hardware before Facebook executive recruiting, he was told that Facebook hardware planning.

On Friday, Facebook for this report did not deny nor confirm, just before the quoted statement said: “we work with throughout the mobile industry, and operators, hardware manufacturers, OS vendors, application developers and cooperation. ”

He worried about Facebook platform application

On Facebook, motivation is obvious. As a new listed company, Facebook needs to find a new source of revenue, it is also concerned that their move backward, this is what it promised one of the growth areas.

A Facebook employee said: “Zuckerberg if Facebook cannot be made a cell phone in the near future, Facebook may be reduced to a simple program on other mobile platforms. ”

Facebook Mobile project has been kept confidential, which is not listed on their own jobs site-related jobs, but finding the right talent in person. However, a social networking site can you learned to manufacture hardware? The mixed culture of hardware and software engineers, is tantamount to mix oil and water. In addition to the apples of the heterogeneous, other handset makers are not good at.

Consumer electronics sector some of the enterprise are frequently encountered setbacks, such as HP, Dell. Sony is not successful in phone.

Apple hardware before Manager Hugo · faience (Hugo Fiennes) says, “make not to enter into. Make a small change to smartphones, it is possible to completely change the operation of the antenna. If you do not have to do for some time, you are not aware of. “He also said,” entering the mobile phone business is complex. ”

Facebook also has its own obstacles, obstacles to that is their own business. For example, in Twitter integrated into the iPhone, people can seamlessly send Twitter messages with pictures and links. Apple and Facebook because there is a dispute, have not been integrated in the iOS.

Facebook already has an operating system

A Facebook employee said, cell phone plans to continuously restart, because Facebook wants to personally build before. Facebook understood after to ask some people come in with mobile phone manufacturing experience. So, it began to move into the hardware engineers, and in cooperation with manufacturers, design, forms, internal working methods, building a Facebook phone.

Despite the difficulties, Facebook looks to find a path into the Smartphone market. It has a complete set of operating systems, you can consolidate information, calendar, contacts, videos, there is a store, there are thousands of popular programs. Instagram program got $ 1 billion acquisition.

If its own team of engineers failed, it might buy a smart phone manufacturers. Through the IPO, it raised $ 16 billion. It can buy a declining Enterprise RIM, its valuation at least US $ 6 billion, and RIM phones covered with beautiful Facebook system. HTC mess, it is worth $ 11.8 billion, have become cheaper.

Enter the smart phone market, Facebook does not need to challenge Apple. Instead, develop into Facebook against Google, which owns Android operating system, the two companies can compete for a number of low end Smartphone buyers.

Gartner market research company Deputy General Manager of the Research Department of the card Luo Linna-s.Milanese (Carolina Milanesi) said: “when you provide advertising-mobile phones, you can target users who prepay, communications-sensitive. “Milan says, this is a huge market, Amazon can be used the same way in two enterprises, providing low cost hardware, like the Kindle, by advertising subsidy costs.

After all, Google and Facebook are obtained through advertising revenues. If they chance to people constantly on the Smartphone display, remaining problem is to get the machine up and running.
