Tech News 2013: Motorola lays off 1,200 employees in the U.S., China and India

Moto_laid_off

Motorola Mobility has sent an email to its workforce saying more than 10% of the personnel is going to be laid off, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.

The email, which affects about 1,200 employees in the U.S, China and India states that while we're very optimistic about the new products in our pipeline, we still face challenges.

Here's what a Motorola representative said to WSJ:

These cuts are a continuation of the reductions we announced last summer. It's obviously very hard for the employees concerned, and we are committed to helping them through this difficult transition.

Google is continuing to streamline Motorola Mobility after in August last year more than 4,000 people were let go, leaving the smartphone maker with 11,113 employees.

Tech News Update: Samsung To Launch Galaxy S4 On March 14, 2013, www.drmobiles.co.nz (Google Android Repair, Auckland)

Samsung-galaxy-s4
After months of speculation, Samsung have finally confirmed that they will be revealing the Galaxy S IV on March 14th at a dedicated event in New York. The March 14th date was widely predicted throughout the industry before the official invitations were sent, as press were expecting Samsung to wait until the Mobile World Conference in Barcelona, but the confirmation is exciting nonetheless for those who have long-anticipated the newest Galaxy device.

Despite there being little information about the handset at this stage, online stores are already allowing customers to register an interest in the Galaxy S4. Enough rumours have circulated that a fairly solid prediction can be drawn about its features, so here’s what industry experts are expecting from the press event next month:

Specifications

The Galaxy S IV is expected to boast Samsung’s new eight-core processor, alongside a separate eight-core graphics processing unit, with 2GB RAM. A five-inch display with an impressive 1920×1080 resolution and a 13-megapixel camera should keep photographers happy, while the predicted 2-megapixel front-facing camera would enable users to take quick social snaps and make high-quality video calls. It should be running on the latest version of Android, the Jelly Bean.

 

Hardware

Alongside the inner workings of the phone, there are a number of additions contributing to the handset’s design and functionality which should make it a strong contender in this year’s smartphone market should they turn out to be more than rumour. In December, the concept of a super-strong, flexible display started making the rounds in connection with the Galaxy S IV. It’s well-known that Samsung has been working on this technology, but whether it will be featured on the upcoming device remains to be seen. Other predictions include the capacity for wireless charging, and a build that creates the impression that the screen reaches the edges of the handset.

Competition

The Samsung Galaxy S IV is expected to see stiff competition this year from the iPhone 6, which has only just started its turn on the rumour wheel. It’s not expected until summer/autumn, which gives Samsung a great opportunity to gain some ground if the April release prediction is correct.

Even after the iPhone 6′s release, it’s likely that the S IV won’t see too much change in profit, as fans of the manufacturer and the Android software are slowly becoming as loyal as Apple’s own fanbase! The Galaxy S3 sparked a new trend in smartphone buying, as one of the first handsets to overtake the iPhone in sales – the BBC reported that by the third quarter of last year Samsung had reported record profits. The hype around the S4 suggests we could be expecting another great victory for Samsung in 2013!

Archeologists Unearth Alien-Like Skulls In A Mexico Cemetery

[Watch Video: Alien-Like Skulls Unearthed In Mexican Cemetery]

Archeologists have unearthed what looks like a cone-shaped alien skull from 1,000 years ago in Mexico.

The skull, which dates from 945 A.D. to 1308 A.D., was discovered accidentally while digging an irrigation system in the northwest state of Sonora in Mexico.

Cristina Garcia Moreno, who worked on the project with Arizona State University, explained that 13 of the 25 skulls found in the Hispanic cemetery had these deformed heads.

“We don’t know why this population specifically deformed their heads,” Moreno told ABC News.

The site, known as El Cementerio, was discovered in 1999, but the team just completed their analysis of the skeletal remains last month. They plan to continue their research during the next field season. Archaeologists also discovered artifacts on the site, like pendants, nose rings and jewelry.

They said the deformation of human skulls was part of an ancient ritual that took place 1,000 years ago. The deformation was achieved by binding a person’s head between two blocks of wood to apply pressure on the skull by wrapping the wood with bands.

“Cranial deformation has been used by different societies in the world as a ritual practice, or for distinction of status within a group or to distinguish between social groups,” Moreno told ABC News. “The reason why these individuals at El Cementerio deformed their skulls is still unknown.”

The team said that many of the bones unearthed were the remains of children, leading them to believe the practice of deforming skulls “may have been inlet and dangerous.”

The Chinook of the U.S. Northwest and the Choctaw of the U.S. Southeast both were known for practicing skull deformation as well.

Moreno told ABC that people deformed their heads in Mexico because they wanted to distinguish important people, or they wanted to distinguish people from one group from another.
