Samsung has a knack for releasing a lot of advertisements for its devices, especially the high-end models that the company wants to move quite a bit of. For the Galaxy Tab S, a direct competitor to Apple’s iPad lineup, a lot of marketing muscle has already been flexed, but that doesn’t mean we’re done seeing new ads. As many have pointed out over the years, many of Samsung’s ads usually offer quite a bit of Apple products in them, in an effort to compare and contrast features or specifications....

Another day, another Samsung Galaxy. This time it’s the Galaxy Trend II. I never even knew there was a Trend I, no I feel a little ignorant right now. Anyway, what’s this phone all about? It looks like the GS3 Mini, the 4 inch version of the GS3, except that the 5 megapixel camera module in the Mini has been swapped out for a 3 megapixel sensor. Other than that, it’s the same 4 inch 800 x 480 pixel resolution display, a slightly faster dual core processor (1....

Much has been speculated about the announcement date of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S5, with many debating whether or not we will see the company’s flagship at their Unpacked event next week at MWC or later in the year at a different event.

The video is a series of photos overlaid with different words with a number “5” exponent....

As widely expected, Samsung has unveiled the successor to the massively popular Note 2 – the Galaxy Note 3 – at an Unpacked event in IFA, Berlin.

Design/Build If you thought that the Galaxy S4 was a marvel of engineering with ridiculously less bezel space, be ready to be surprised with the Note 3....

Although it is very quick and easy to deploy new systems, it is not so simple to decommission existing systems. Within a large organization, which is usually more risk-averse, a guarantee will need to be given that the system really has no purpose anymore, now and in the future, before the virtual plug can be pulled. To get this guarantee on paper takes a lot of effort. No one wants to be responsible for turning off a perfectly fine running system that for instance executes a critical monthly report or task....

It feels just like yesterday. Back in 2006, I was some random punk kid harassing people walking through the mall, trying to get them to buy a mobile phone from an MVNO that doesn’t exist anymore, Helio. After a day’s worth of smooth talking and product pitching, I’d come home, boot up my computer, and write a few hundred words about an an industry where I was but a mere foot solider....

HANA stands for High-Performance Analytic Appliance. It’s an in-memory relational database management system. Later, SAP introduced an application server dubbed HANA XS, and business applications based on top of this database (i.e. HANA S/4). Currently, SAP HANA looks more like a platform rather than a database. The platform seems to be the default for all business applications that SAP will release in the future, SAP reports outnumbering 7200 SAP HANA instances implemented worldwide....

It looks like Samsung’s latest tablets have run into some overheating issues. According to images posted by hi-tech.mail.ru, the 8.4-inch Galaxy Tab S can overheat so much that it can damage the rear plastic shell of the tablet. The Galaxy Tab S 8.4 comes with a 2K resolution Super-AMOLED display and an Exynos processor inside a body that is only 6.6mm thin. Considering how hot AMOLED displays can get under high brightness levels and the poor power management of Samsung’s Exynos chips, the overheating of Galaxy Tab S should not really come as a surprise....
