Both technologies work in a very similar manner....

The worst feelings, perhaps, come with phones. You can’t put them down, even though you want to put them down. When you succeed in putting them down, you can’t help but pick them up again after a few minutes....

According to the Taiwanese supply chain and rumor website website DigiTimes, Samsung is in a bind. They’re the world’s largest producer of memory chips, but apparently they’re not making enough memory chips for mobile devices. DigiTimes says GS4 demand is “larger than expected”, and that’s forcing Samsung to rush to devote more resources to manufacture mobile DRAM. That’s causing the price of computer RAM to go up. The world will probably never know what Samsung’s GS4 sales targets are, but it’s saying a lot that even they didn’t even anticipate how many millions of units they’d have to be making....
