Apple To Start Making Some Mac Computers in America in 2013

Some iMac owners have been finding lately that their computers were "assembled in the USA."Those U.S.-assembled machines have been few and far between -- most still have "assembled in China" tags. But Apple is planning for many more Mac computers to be made in the U.S. next year.

In an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that the Cupertino-based company is investing $100 million in U.S. based manufacturing for its Mac computers. The project will be an entirely new undertaking.

"And next year we are going to bring some production to the U.S. on the Mac. We've been working on this for a long time, and we were getting closer to it. It will happen in 2013," Cook said in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek's Josh Tyrangiel. "We could have quickly maybe done just assembly, but it's broader because we wanted to do something more substantial."

Apple has manufactured and assembled most of its products in China, and has been widely criticized for the poor working conditions in the factories of its Foxconn contractor there. Apple's late CEO, Steve Jobs, was quoted by biographer Walter Isaacson as complaining to President Obama that U.S. regulations made it easier to build a factory overseas.

His successor, Cook, now speaks of change.

"We'll literally invest over $100 million. This doesn't mean that Apple will do it ourselves, but we'll be working with people, and we'll be investing our money," Cook added in the interview.

After the furor began over conditions at Foxconn in China, ABC News' Bill Weir got an exclusive look at some of its factories in Shenzhen and Chengdu. Since then, Apple, along with the Fair Labor Association, has vowed to make changes to working hours, overtime and more.

Cook elaborated on the progress being made in China in the interview: "I think no one is looking at this as deeply as we are or going as deep in the supply chain. We're back to the mines. We're going all the way, not just at the first layer. And in addition to that, we've chosen to be incredibly transparent with it. I invite everyone to copy us."

According to the interview, Apple will bring Mac production to the U.S. -- but not iPad or iPhone manufacturing. When asked about making an iPhone in the U.S. at the All Things D conference in May, Cook pointed out that some parts are made in the U.S., including the Gorilla Glass screen on Apple's iPhones. Apple has not specified what Mac computer lines -- iMac, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, etc. -- will be made here.

Along with Apple, Lenovo plans to begin production of its ThinkPad laptops and desktops to the U.S. The company will start assembling and making hardware in early 2013 in Whitsett, North Carolina. As a result, Lenovo plans to hire for 115 manufacturing jobs later this year.

When reached by ABC News, Apple pointed us to the interview and would not elaborate on its 2013 U.S. production plans.

iOS 6.1.1 update released by Apple to tackle iPhone 4S signal issues

Apple has issued a new iOS 6.1.1 update, with the software patch landing just hours after network provider Vodafone warned iPhone 4S users off updating to iOS 6.1 due to on-going 3G signal issues.

With the recent iOS 6.1 update reportedly causing a swathe of iPhone 4S users to experience troublesome signal loss issues when attempting to utilise 3G connections, Apple has responded to complaints, rolling out iOS 6.1.1 in a bid to amend the recently introduced issues.

The HTC One could indeed sport an iPhone 5-like design, with a recent HTC Twitter post appearing to confirm the rumours.

The company has released an update to its Twitter account with the date of its big launch event being held in London on February 19. Behind the date we get a glimpse of the very top of a mysterious new device.

There's also a background shot of the back of a sleek metal (or metal-styled) smartphone with HTC engraved into it.

These images appear to align with a recently leaked photo from evleaks. Seemingly a press shot of the HTC One (formerly known as the HTC M7), the image reveals a sleek white and black device with a rather familiar design.

The Vertu Ti has been officially unveiled as the post-Nokia debut Vertu Android handset, sporting a minimum price tag of a breath taking £6,700.

Despite the rather ostentatious cost, the luxury handset may leave users wanting in the tech department, as the Vertu Ti doesn’t even offer top end specs, hosting the now rather dated Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS.

Nokia has launched the Nokia Asha 310, the latest in its line of affordable smartphones, which this time comes with Wi-Fi and dual SIM capabilities.

The Nokia Asha 310 follows on from the Nokia Asha 308 and the Nokia Asha 309, which were launched in September of last year. Like those two phones, the Nokia Asha 310 runs on Nokia's ancient but heavily-tweaked Series 40 OS.

5-inch iPhone 6 spotted at Chinese supplier alongside iPhone 5S

A 5-inch iPhone 6 prototype has been spotted at one of Apple’s Chinese suppliers, with the handset reportedly doing the rounds alongside the as yet unconfirmed iPhone 5S.

Adding to a flurry of recent iPhone 6 rumours, latest reports have suggested Apple’s iPhone 5 follow-on has been spotted playing host to a new 5-inch form factor. Said to have surfaced at a Chinese supplier alongside an iPhone 5S model, both the iPhone

Google NEXUS 4 sales have topped the 1

million unit milestone marker despite continuing stock shortages, latest figures have suggested.

Despite the handset having been unavailable and listed as ‘out of stock’ for much of the time since its November 13 release, figures compiled by the XDA Developers Forum have revealed that the 999,998th Google Nexus 4 was produced earlier this week on February 5.

Polytron has unveiled a prototype transparent smartphone with the potential to launch fully-functioning prototypes and limited market production by the end of this year.

The Taiwanese manufacturer this demoed an almost entirely transparent touchscreen handset made from the company’s “Polyvision Privacy Glass”, suggesting handsets could be released within the year.

With smartphones and tablets accounting for an ever increasing amount of online activity, 2013 will see portable devices targeted by malware as often as traditional desktop computers, internet security giant Kaspersky Lab has suggested.

Claiming that cybercriminals are set to increase “drive-by download” attacks within the coming months, Kaspersky Lab has suggested that the coming year will see mobile threats rival those on standard computers, with Google’s Android OS to be the target of many of the attacks.

“2012 has been the year of the explosive growth of mobile malware, with cybercriminals’ primary focus being the Android platform, as it was the most popular and widely used,” an official Kaspersky spokesperson has stated in the company’s 2013 predictions report.

“In 2013 we are likely to see a new alarming trend – the use of vulnerabilities to extend ‘drive-by download’ attacks on mobile devices. This means that personal and corporate data stored on smartphones and tablets will be targeted as frequently as it is targeted on traditional computers.”

As well drive-by download attacks, the Kaspersky report has suggested that 2013 could see the first smartphone based worms introduced. “There is also a high probability that the first mass worm for Android will appear, capable of spreading itself via text messages and sending out links to itself at some online app store,” the company suggested.

Expanding on the recent rise of Android based malware, Kaspersky added: “In June 2012 we identified almost 7,000 malicious Android programs. Overall, in 2012, we identified more than 35,000 malicious Android programs, which is about six times more than in 2011. That’s also about five times more than all the malicious Android samples we’ve received since 2005 altogether.”

They added: “Looking forward, there is no doubt this trend will continue, just like it did with Windows malware many years ago. We are therefore expecting 2013 to be filled with targeted attacks against Android users, zero-days and data leaks.”

Whilst users of Google’s hugely popular Android system are likely to be put at the most risk, Kaspersky has stressed that it is far from the only target for mobile based malicious attacks with iPhone users also at considerable risk. “For the same reasons (rising popularity), new sophisticated attacks will be performed against owners of Apple devices as well,” the company spokesperson added.

Many millions of homes across the United States contain the construction material, asbestos. This is because, the majority of the 20th century, asbestos was highly regarded for its fire-proofing qualities. Therefore the material can be found in the average American home: the walls, the roofs, chimneys, floor and ceiling tiles, insulation material, ducting and heating systems.

Asbestos Lawyer

Choosing an Asbestos Lawyer

Choosing a lawyer to represent you in court can be a very stressful, confusing, and trying task. Here are some tips that can help you to make the right decision:

Does the lawyer have asbestos lawsuit experience?

Most lawyers specialize in a particular field of law. You want to make sure that the lawyer you choose is familiar with your issues and has relevant experience in mesothelioma law. A lawyer that regularly drafts wills may not be the best choice when the subject is an asbestos law.

A structured settlement is a financial or insurance arrangement, defined by Internal Revenue Code as periodic payments; a claimant accepts to resolve a personal injury tort claim or to compromise a statutory periodic payment obligation. Structured settlements were first utilized in Canada after a settlement for children affected by Thalidomide.Structured

A structured settlement factoring transaction describes the selling of future structured settlement payments (or, more accurately, rights to receive the future structured settlement payments). People who receive structured settlement payments may decide at some point that they need more money in the short term than the periodic payment provides over time. An example would be the payment of personal injury damages over time instead of in a lump sum at settlement. The reasons are varied but can include unforeseen medical expenses for oneself or a dependent, the need for improved housing or transportation, education expenses and the like. To meet this need, the structured settlement recipient can sell (or, less commonly, encumber) all or part of their future periodic payments for a present lump sum.

A virtual data room (sometimes called a VDR) is an online repository of information that is used for the storing and distribution of documents. In many cases, a virtual data room is used to facilitate the due diligence process during an M&A transaction, loan syndication, or private equity and venture capital transactions. This due diligence process has traditionally used a physical data room to accomplish the disclosure of documents. For reasons of cost, efficiency and security, virtual data rooms have widely replaced the more traditional physical data room.

Performing due diligence in a merger or acquisition has become logistically easier in recent years through the use of virtual data and deal rooms (VDRs). The technology makes a target company’s centralized document repository available 24/7 to potential bidders via the Internet. VDRs can provide secure online access to business plans, projections, agreements, presentations, research, inventories and other sensitive information potential buyers need in shaping their offer.

Use VoIP to Do More with Less

VoIP for small business bundles phone, data, and video into one unified service so you can do more with less.

Now you can enjoy the speed, flexibility, and security of unified communications on your own network. Cisco offers VoIP for small business solutions that are just your size.

How VoIP Can Save Your Business Money?

The current economic climate is not exactly friendly for small companies. Rising prices for almost all of the day-to-day running costs are causing many problems for small businesses, and managers are being forced to look for as many ways as possible to save money. One popular solution is to sign up for a VoIP for Business solution. A well chosen VoIP for Business service can offer carrier-quality calls at a fraction of the cost, using a MPLS network.

What does the MPLS network do?

If you are using VoIP for Business, then you want to make sure that your calls will always be high quality, and have minimal lag. This is what an MPLS network can help with. MPLS stands for Multi Protocol Label Switching. This is used to prioritise data packets, ensuring that your VoIP calls are given priority over other bandwidth intensive network traffic such as file downloads, which do not need to be handled at speed.

Tape Data Recovery

It is a common practice to back up systems to tape drives. They are fast, convenient and are high capacity. However, tapes can fail for the same reasons as other magnetic media. Data Recovery Services has recovered tapes that have become corrupt due to many situations.

Including:

Physical damage

Back up Failures

Water damaged tapes

Overwritten Tapes

Smoke or Chemical Damaged Tapes

Intentionally damaged tapes

Broken Tapes

DRS has developed its own tape data recovery software in its research and development lab to access more data off of tapes than ever before. Our in-house programmers are constantly upgrading and generating new recovery software to help better serve you. Our engineers are trained in recovery from many tape formats.

Including:

4mm DAT, DDS, DDS2, DDS3, DDS4 and DDS5

Super DLT & DLT, DLT VS80 and VS160 tapes

Exabyte 8mm

SONY AIT 1, 2 and 3

Travan tapes

QIC mini cartridge tapes

Our first concern is to secure a copy of your data to the fullest extent possible; this can be achieved by performing a low-level read of your tape. We will then work from a secure copy of your data to identify the format and determine what process will be used to complete the recovery.

After determining what steps will be necessary to complete your tape data recovery, we will contact you. No work will be done without your approval. As soon as you approve the recovery, our engineers will continue with the recovery effort.

Conference call

A conference call is a telephone call in which the calling party wishes to have more than one called party listen in to the audio portion of the call. The conference calls may be designed to allow the called party to participate during the call, or the call may be set up so that the called party merely listens into the call and cannot speak. It is sometimes called ATC (Audio Tele-Conference).

Conference calls can be designed so that the calling party calls the other participants and adds them to the call; however, participants are usually able to call into the conference call themselves by dialing a telephone number that connects to a "conference bridge" (a specialized type of equipment that links telephone lines).

Credit Card Payment Processing

Credit Card Payment Processing--How It Works

This document provides an overview of how online credit card processing works. Credit card payment processing for your store takes place in two phases: authorization (getting approval for the transaction that is stored with the order) and settlement (processing the sale which transfers the funds from the issuing bank to the merchant's account). The flow charts below represent the key steps in the process starting from what a customer sees when placing an order through completing the sale and finishing with the merchant processing the sale to collect funds.

A personal injury lawyer is a lawyer who provides legal representation to those who claim to have been injured, physically or psychologically, as a result of the negligence or wrongdoing of another person, company, government agency, or other entity. Thus, personal injury lawyers tend to be especially knowledgeable and have more experience with regard to the area of law known as tort law, which includes civil wrongs and economic or non-economic damages to a person’s property, reputation, or rights.

Why Buy Antivirus Software?

Cheetahs and gazelles coevolved with increasing armament escalations comparable to the coevolution of hackers and their prey. Cheetahs and gazelles both have to keep going faster. As the underground organizes itself to attack your computer more efficiently, the best antivirus software vendors continue to improve the defenses available to you. The arms race between identity thieves and their marks will never achieve resolution. If you choose not to involve yourself in the race, the cheetahs will catch you. You don't want that to happen, so please read our articles on computer security to learn how to choose the product that's best for you. Based on our research, we recommend these three products: Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, Kaspersky Anti-Virus and Norton AntiVirus.

Even though Microsoft is increasing the strength of Windows' native security features, Microsoft has said that it is only doing so to raise the minimum standard of protection for its customers who will never purchase third-party antivirus software. Unfortunately, PC users who trust Windows' built-in security features will be the first to fall prey to evolving malware. Don't be one of them.

Antivirus Software: What to Look for

Antivirus software products block malware from entering your computer system. When security software is unsuccessful at preventing attacks, it is then supposed to detect and remove the malware that gets through the defenses. If you begin to analyze all of the forms of malware and all of the potential entry points, it quickly becomes quite complicated and confusing. You can reduce the complexity of shopping for virus protection by asking a few key questions. How does the antivirus software perform in third-party tests? What features does it have that pertain to my needs? Does it provide support during the times I will need it?

Panda Antivirus Pro 2013

Panda Security SL, formerly Panda Software, is one of the dominant computer security software vendors. AV-Test gives it excellent scores. Industry analysts praise its technology innovations. Since 1990, when it launched in Bilbao, Spain, Panda Security has achieved a worldwide reach. There are Panda subsidiaries in Austria, Belgium, France, Finland, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the U.K. and the United States. There are also Panda Security franchises in another 44 countries. Panda Antivirus Pro is one of the best antivirus software products and it is integrated with a proprietary firewall. In terms of performance, Panda Antivirus Pro runs with the big dogs, according to AV-Test.

We survived the Mayan apocalypse and made it to 2013. So did malware writers around the world; now's not the time to slack off on antivirus protection. About two thirds of the security vendors I track have updated for 2013, and about half of those celebrate the year by including 2013 in the current product name.

Year over year the same security products tend to be top scorers, but there's room for change. Here are the best from the current crop of antivirus products.

Miami Personal Injury Lawyer

Miami Personal Injury Lawyer

Over our decades of legal practice, Greenberg, Stone & Urbano, P.A. has established itself as a personal injury law firm built on a foundation of strong dedication to our clients. With offices in Miami, Palm Beach and Orlando, the AV-rated* law firm of Greenberg, Stone & Urbano, P.A. provides effective and ethical legal counsel to injured persons throughout Florida. Partners Stewart G. Greenberg, Mark D. Stone and Dennis N. Urbano offer more than 100 years of experience litigating personal injury cases in Florida and across the nation.

Our Past Cases Illustrate Our Commitment to Justice and Fairness for Injured People

Our personal injury lawyers in Miami continually strive for justice and fairness in the form of compensation for the victims of accidents caused by negligence or intentional wrongdoing by others. Our trial lawyers have obtained many substantial verdicts and settlements in excess of one million dollars, including one case we settled for $22 million. Our Florida injury lawyers have the experience necessary to get the results you need and deserve.

Demonstrated Experience With a Wide Range of Injury Cases

A car accident is different from medical malpractice, which is different from an accident on board a cruise ship. Serious auto accidents typically result in traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations and other serious trauma.

For example, statistics by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles show that there were 2,400 fatalities resulting from car accidents in 2011. This is 44 fatalities less than during 2010. However, fatalities of motorcyclists and passengers increased by approximately 18% from 383 to 451 respectively. Similarly, between 2010 and 2011, bicyclist fatalities increased by almost 58% from 76 to 120 respectively. These numbers are reflective of how much we depend on motor vehicles in Florida to conduct our daily lives. They also tell us that many of us may end up getting injured or dying as a result of a motor vehicle accident.

Unfortunately, when that happens, we find that most insurance companies mostly care for generating profits for their shareholders and therefore will engage in a number of tactics to reduce or minimize the payments they make as a result of claim settlements. Consequently, many injured victims have no choice but to hire a personal injury lawyer to recover the compensation they may be owed as a result of their injuries. At Greenberg, Stone & Urbano, P.A., our car accident lawyers in Miami have first-hand experience with a wide range of injury and accident lawsuits:

Motor vehicle accident claims
Premises liability lawsuits
Defective product cases
Cruise ship accident and injury claims
Amusement park accident cases
Medical malpractice lawsuits
Pharmacy negligence claims
Airplane crash lawsuits
Wrongful death suits
Traumatic brain injury claims
Spinal cord injury claims

Samsung Galaxy S4: What to expect from the most anticipated smartphone of 2013

In an attempt to steal the thunder from Nokia, Asus, Sony, and a slew of other mobile device makers at Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona, Samsung has announced that the Galaxy S4 will be unveiled at its own exclusive event in New York on March 14, with public availability to follow soon after. In a follow-up announcement, Samsung has announced that the New York event will occur in none other than Times Square. Some leaked benchmarks point to some very impressive performance from the Galaxy S4 — but leaked images from China, and a teaser image from Samsung, suggest that the Galaxy S4 will look almost identical to the Galaxy S3.

The same Chinese leak also includes a video (embedded below), and photo confirmation of the Galaxy S4′s hardware and software specs (detailed below).

According to a Samsung employee that spoke to the New York Times, the Galaxy S4 will feature eye-tracking technology to scroll and turn pages. We’re not entirely sure how, but hopefully this isn’t just another gimmick like the Galaxy S3′s Smart Stay face detection.

With two days to go until its official unveil, we have two leaks confirming the Samsung Galaxy S4′s appearance and specs — one leak from Samsung itself, and another from China, where a Galaxy S4 seems to have fallen off the back of a truck.

The competition in the Google Apps backup market is steadily ramping up, with more than a few contenders jumping in lately to have a piece of this newfound need. Just two months ago, I wrote about my (mostly) positive thoughts regarding Apps backup provider Backupify. But in order to do the competition justice, I decided to give the other popular alternative Spanning a run for the money.

At CES 2012, you couldn’t move for 3D TVs, ugly polarizing spectacles, and — because the viewer at home can’t take part in the awesomeness that is 3D — those awful, it’s-so-real-it’s-bursting-out-of-the-screen posters (below). At IFA — the big, mid-year consumer electronics event in Berlin — it was clear that 3D TV was on its way out. Today, at CES 2013, 3D TV is dead.

Search Engine Marketting

Search engine optimization (SEO)

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid ("organic") search results.[jargon] In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.

As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. Optimizing a website may involve editing its content, HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Promoting a site to increase the number of backlinks, or inbound links, is another SEO tactic.

The plural of the abbreviation SEO can also refer to "search engine optimizers," those who provide SEO services.

Recovering from Windows software RAID failure

Recovering from Windows software RAID failure
Array health states

RAID volumes can be in one of four states:

Healthy - the default. Everything is A-OK.

Rebuild - the system is rebuilding the array, and is thus at risk of data loss until the array has completely rebuilt. This will occur when the array is initially built, and while recovering from a failure.

Failed RAID - redundancy has failed, but the array is recoverable. You will need to replace the failed disk, or reactivate a disk with errors, to rebuild the array.

Failed - the array has failed. No rebuilding is possible and you have lost all data on the array. Replace the failed hardware and recover the data from backups.

Upcoming WINDOWS 9

Windows 8 could be partly responsible for declining PC sales

Will Microsoft learn from messages like this? As Heise reports, the head of Acer has made statement, that Windows 8 is too complicated and people do not understand the system.

The curious thing about the situation is that Windows 8 should boost the PC market sales. Now the opposite seems to have happened! Due to the many negative reports about Windows 8, this was to be expected anyway.

Sales of notebooks and desktop computers in Q4 2012 decreased by 6.4% compared to the same period last year, the entire year it was 3.2%. One reason for the problems is that many consumers prefer to buy smartphones and tablets, as they don’t require a lot of functionality of a complete PCs.

We hope that Microsoft will learn from all this and present as a better “Windows 9″!
