Shares of Apple Inc fell to as low as $518.63 on Thursday, declining nearly 10 percent for the week. But for the year, the stock is still up more than 30 percent. At its peak in September the stock was worth $705.07.
Earlier in the day, research firm IDC said Apple’s rank in China’s smartphone market, which is set to become the world’s largest this year, fell to No.6 in the third quarter as it faced tough competition from Chinese brands.
That sounds plausible - we've heard that the Galaxy Note II was supposed to have a 13MP shooter, but in the end Samsung went with the old 8MP because Sony couldn’t make enough sensors (and it had already made a deal with LG for the Optimus G). Plus, Samsung can't have three consecutive generations of Galaxy S phones using the same camera, can it?
Rumor has it that Samsung already nicknamed their new line-up of products: Project J. Project J is allegedly the next generation of Samsung Galaxy terminals, with a release date scheduled for April 2013, beginning with Samsung Galaxy S4 if the rumors are accurate.
Personally I am expecting a huge Samsung Unpacked event, most likely hosted in London. Returning to the rumors that recently hit the web, it seems that Samsung Galaxy S4 will sport a Super AMOLED display with Full HD resolution, a quad-core chipset based on Cortex A15 architecture, the latest Android software release, a 5-inch display and a 13 megapixel camera.

According to Mr. Soon Kwon, President South West Asia Region & MD, LG India, “Smartphones today have become an essential part of life. People see it as an extension of themselves. Smartphones have come a long way from where they had started and today’s smartphones are a far cry from their bulky ancestors. LG Optimus L9 has been designed in a way that it can cater to every need of smart consumers who demands a powerhouse of style, performance and efficiency in their smartphones.”

I just implemented this tip on this very page, as you can see below.
To do so I went to Plugins/Add New, and then searched for: “facebook like button.” I installed three different plugins but none worked well with my theme. I decided to stick with the share button at the top of this post.
I recommend installing code for each button manually. Facebook provides a like button building tool that is quite easy to use, and generates code to copy and paste automatically.
You can get a like button by going to the like button plugin page within the facebook developers portal.
If you have a WordPress blog better way to install this feature into all of your posts and/or pages is with the wordpress plugin: WP FB Like. I installed over five facebook like plugins and this one was the easiest to configure, so I recommend it.
If you don’t want a “like” button you can change the verb to “recommend”, as the image above shows.

Pricey blowers such as the Samsung Galaxy S3 or iPhone 5 normally steal the limelight, but that doesn’t mean cheap phones can’t get our juices flowing. The Huawei Ascend G300 proved a cracking mobile for £100, while the Google Nexus 4 is rocking our socks with its quad-core processor and £239 price tag — although shoppers are struggling to get their hands on one.
We’ll be giving the Xperia E the full review treatment as soon as possible.
Recently entrance to the 7-inch tablet market was done by Apple with the launch of the iPad mini. It’s needless to speak out that the device is very much impressive and you will surely want one if you are a part of the Apple ecosystem.
A sense of confusion however does arise when deciding on which is the right iPad for you. If you want a smaller more portable device then the iPad mini seems right. If you want a larger display and more screen real estate, the 9.7-inch behemoth seems perfect.

So here, we take a look at which is the tablet for you based on various criteria of utility. We battle it out between the iPad 2 and the iPad mini.
Google took two months to update Google Voice to be fully compatible with iOS 6.But now Google voice is working well with iOS 6.
Google isn’t the only turtle in the update race, as Bing and Nike+ are other prominent apps that have yet to make good with the iPhone 5’s larger screen.
While an update to Google Voice is much welcome, Google Translate is yet to go that route and for those of us who have an interest in randomly wanting to know what a phrase looks like in another language, this is a bummer. Of course you could just use the web interface, or a computer, but it’s sad to see the progress on Google apps be so slow for iOS 6.
