Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 trailer is out

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 trailer is out, promises some epic stuff

As you should well know, the last Harry Potter movie was split into two parts, because the seventh book turned out impossible to fit into a two-hour movie. The first part of the Deathly Hallows premiered last November and it was really good and the script was very close to the book.

Today the Deathly Hallows Part 2 trailer was released and it looks epic. Let’s hope the movie keeps that spirit.

I personally like the books but I’m not such a fan of the movies. In my opinion the Half-Blood Prince was a disaster – it was a good and a beautiful movie, but it was very far away from the events in the sixth book. I honestly didn’t believe David Yates & Co will give us a decent ending, but the Part 1 of the Deathly Hallows was quite a surprise – it followed and covered almost all events in the book it was based on. And it was an excellent movie too.

The Deathly Hallows Part 2 will hits cinemas on 15 July this year. Would you go watch it?

LG and Sony settle patent dispute with a cross-licensing deal

Sony and LG have finally settled their patent dispute that concerned infringed patents on smartphones, TVs and Blu-ray technology.

The dispute began after a technology sharing agreement expired three years ago and the two companies have exchanged a couple of blows in the US and European courts since then. A complaint was filed by Sony concerning LG smartphones in the US and LG accused Sony of infringing its Blu-ray video technology in the PlayStation 3. LG even got a court injunction in the Netherlands, where PlayStation 3 consoles were seized by customs.

Both companies have now confirmed, however, that the battle is over and that they have signed a cross-licensing agreement that will allow each of them to use the other’s patents. There’s no saying if any money changed hands for the agreement to be reached, though.

Well that’s one patent war down, but there are still many many more to come as the technological world currently seems to be in a full blown patent war.

Chrome for Android will likely remain Flash-less forever

Limited availability aside, the Chrome beta launch went as smooth as Google could have possibly hoped. Everyone who got a chance to take the new Android browser for a spin loved it and for a good reason. The Chrome beta is smooth, offers a cool UI and plenty of eye-candy and seemed to have the stock browser in its pocket.

And then you notice that it’s lacking Flash support. But hey, the stock ICS browser also missed Flash at launch and got it later, right? As it turns out, Chrome for Android won’t be as lucky and it will most likely remain without Flash support forever.

The problem is that the mobile-friendly Chrome arrives too late – it comes after Adobe announced the discontinued development of its Flash player for mobile devices. The developing company will only release security and bugfixes from now on and won’t bother creating a plug-in for the Chrome browser.

And while it’s true that Chrome scores the highest of any mobile browser on the html5test.com benchmark, the web is still a long way from moving completely to HTML5 and Flash is still a pretty major part of it.

Normally, the lack of Flash support wouldn’t be a big problem for a browser as cool as Chrome, but the problem here is it faces a really strong rival in the face of the stock ICS browser. The stock browser from the latest Android release is impressively smooth too and offers the innovative quick controls interface plus a ton of other extras.

As it turns out choosing between the two is a matter of picking your priorities – great syncing with your desktop Chrome browser vs Flash support and for some this might not be as easy a choice as Google might have hoped.

Google turns 14 - Happy Birthday

Google turns 14 - Happy Birthday!

14 years ago a small but effective search engine came to prominence on the domain www.google.com. The rest is history.

Today marks the 14th year of existence for the tech giant, and it’s celebrating with one of its trademark homepage doodles.

Google was first envisioned by Standford students Larry Page and Sergey Brin as part of a research project which attempted to catalog a web page by the number of pages that backlink to it. The result was the PageRank system, which coincidentally provided much more accurate search results than those of commercial search portals at the time, such as Yahoo! or Excite.com.

Google later went on to offer its IPO in 2004, just after reaching its peak in terms of search engine dominance, at which time it accounted for just under 85% of all searches made on the internet.

Today, Google remains one of the most successful tech companies in history, and stands firmly by its declaration to be “a company that does good things for the world even if we forgo some short term gains.”

So, from us at GSMArena.com, happy birthday Google! Thanks for making the internet a better place!

Check out our source link from some previous Google birthday doodles.

Twitter got hacked by the Iranian Cyber Army

Twitter got hacked by the Iranian Cyber Army, presumably nothing stolen

A day ago the social network Twitter was hacked by a group called “Iranian Cyber Army”. There is no harm done to the servers and databases, the attack just compromised the DNS records and redirected to a new web site, instead of Twitter.

Twitter claim nothing is stolen and I believe they’re straight with us. But if the hackers really meant some harm, they might have managed to design a false Twitter page before unveiling the attack. This would have allowed them to easily steal a lot of accounts with passwords.

So just to be sure, you may want to change your password.
