Samsung unviels Galaxy S III, the iPhone killer?

Samsung today launched its flagship phone the Galaxy S III at an event in London. The first noticeable thing about it was the size of the screen. At 4.8" it is bigger than the iPhone. Galaxy S 3 will run on quad core processor to power the Android OS. The iPhone still runs on a dual core processor. Though all the extra computing power won't go in vain, as Samsung revealed loads of cool feature for the S III.

One of the features that got more attention than the others was S Voice. S voice is Samsung's version of the iPhone Siri. With S voice you can now command your Galaxy with your voice. If your phone is sleep just say "Hi galaxy" to wake it up. It now seems that touch input is a bit old and the future of smartphones and computer input will be your own voice.

Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolian is now available for downloads.

ubuntu-12.04-download
The now long awaited Ubuntu 12.04 LTS has finally arrived and is now available for download. Don't let the term LTS confuse much, it just means Long Term Support. Open source software are released more frequently then commercial ones and because of this if you have an old version of open source software you are less likely to get support for it. Hence Ubuntu releases the LTS versions which help them provide support for the OS for a long term, in this case 5 years. So if you install Ubuntu 12.04 ( which I strongly recommend), then you can get support for any trouble for at least the next five years.
