Samsung Manufacturing Issues Reportedly Overblown, May Split A8 Production with TSMC
Samsung may play a larger role in the production of Apple’s next generation A8 processor than previously rumored, claims ZDNet Korea (via GforGames). According to the report, the Korean company has already signed a contract to produce the A8 processor at its Austin, Texas plant and is in the final stages of testing before mass production begins.
This latest information from an anonymous Samsung official contradicts an earlier report that said Samsung was struggling with poor yields of the A8 processor and could not meet Apple’s demands. As a result, the bulk of A8 chip production was said to be shifting to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). These “manufacturing issues” were “exaggerated claims” says the Samsung source, stating that the company is ready to start mass production of the A8 in Q2 2014.
While Samsung and TSMC may be splitting A8 production however, the latter already appears to have a lead on the Korean manufacturer. A recent report from Taiwan’s Commercial Times claims TSMC has started production of the next generation chip.
Samsung has been the exclusive manufacturer of Apple’s A-series chips, but Apple has been looking to depend less on its rival by shifting some of its orders to TSMC. Apple reportedly struck a deal with TSMC in 2013 to start A-series chip production early in 2014.

[LEAK] Lots more photos of the All New HTC One leak out, unsurprisingly looks exactly the Same
By now, most of you will have already seen a substantial number of photos of what is going to be the All New HTC One, HTC‘s next flagship device, which is expected to be announced at a March 25th event. In fact, some might say that we’ve probably seen too many leaked photos of the device already (Seriously, does everybody have one or something?). But for those who don’t think they have, or haven’t seen any, you’re in luck as today we have many more photos of the All New HTC One for you to look at.
There’s nothing terribly new in the photos (12 in total), or at least, nothing that we haven’t seen before from the formerly codenamed, HTC M8. Confirmed yet again is the dual-sensor rear camera, as well as the general design of the device. Probably of most note is one of the photographed devices is a China Mobile device, which is good news for those of you who are customers there, but a close second would be the photos that show the All New One posing with its much bigger brother, the HTC One Max. The 5.9-inch Max positively dwarfs the All New One, which is expected to come out a 5-inch device. Check out all the photos below:
What do you think about this collection of leaked photos; see something that we’ve missed? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Netflix reportedly reaches another Comcast-style agreement, but with a Norwegian ISP
Netflix’s oddly public peering agreement to connect directly with Comcast has, as many expected, been followed closely by a similar deal. What may surprise some is that this arrangement is with Norway’s Telenor and not Verizon or AT&T, although the circumstances are remarkably similar. Filter Magazine points out a report from Dagens Næringsliv (Today’s Business), a Norwegian industry paper, revealing an arrangement where Netflix is apparently paying rent to place its servers loaded full of movies inside the telecommunication company’s datacenter. Telenor spokesman Jørn Bremtun confirmed a commercial agreement to Filter but could not reveal details, although Netflix’s OpenConnect proposal suggested a similar arrangement, without payment.
Telenor has recently dropped sharply in Netflix’s ISP speed index (sound familiar?), and like the Comcast announcement, this new deal is drawing scrutiny from supporters of the principles of net neutrality. Telenor is held to the standards of net neutrality as set by the Norwegian Post and Telecommunications Authority (PDF), just like Comcast is under the terms of its agreement to purchase NBC. Also just like Comcast, Telenor claims that charging Netflix is not blocked by those standards, since it isn’t providing preferential treatment to any particular traffic on the network. Finn Myrstad of The Consumer Council of Norway echoes statements by US consumer rights groups and our post on the topic, pointing out that the secret nature of such deals is inherently troubling. There’s still no word on any other similar agreements with US ISPs, but the trend appears to be firmly in motion.

HTC’s next One leaks again in all-angle photo shoot
HTC’s upcoming successor to the One, codenamed M8, has been a leaky ship while sailing to its March 25th launch. But the latest set of photos from a Chinese Weibo site leave nothing to the imagination, showing a possible China Mobile retail model from nearly all angles. Of interest are the speaker grills, which seem to be coated with a clear layer of material, possibly for protection. The leaker also said that the M8 used a lot of new CNC process tech, resulting in a very tight build on the handset. Otherwise, the gallery confirms details we’ve already seen and several pics with an HTC One Max show the relative size. To cap it off, @evleaks has has shown a possible LED smart cover for the M8, which mimics one we saw for the Alcatel One OneTouch by showing the weather, time and other info. Head after the break to see the smart cover, or for an all-around view of the (alleged) M8, check the gallery below.

Sony and Panasonic announce the Archival Disc, a new optical disc standard for long-term storage
Aiming to offer a long-term storage option in disc form, Sony and Panasonic have announced the new Archival Disc format that will store between 300GB and 1TB per disc. The companies are bigging up the non-HDD form factor for its hardiness to temperature and humidity. They’re also promising “inter-generational compatibility” between different formats as the standard matures — but we’ll believe it when we see it. While the initial team-up was signed back in July last year, the current roadmap suggests we’ll see the first 300GB discs from Summer 2015. Storage upgrades will follow, in line with signal processing improvements, with high linear density processing (which all sounds good) supposedly set to offer up to a magical one terabyte of space per disc. We’ll just go ahead and throw away all these Blu-rays.

Talon for Twitter is a Super-Sexy Twitter Client – APP OF THE WEEK
When it came to my Twitter needs, Falcon Pro was my dear friend. Ever since the developers launched it as just a simple widget, I instantly became attracted to it, simply because I am a widgethead. I would briefly look at some of the other Twitter clients out there, but none of them seem to catch my eye like the Falcon widget did. Once Falcon Pro came into our lives, I felt I was never going to need another Twitter client again. Boy was I wrong.
Ever since I updated my HTC One to Android 4.4 KitKat, I would have countless problems with Falcon Pro. Constant force closes, pictures not uploading, and my feed not refreshing, were just some of the problems I was having. I thought maybe is just the One, but once I got the Nexus 5, same problems occurred. I finally got fed up with all the annoying problems, and got suggestions for Talon from my Twitter followers. I thank you guys oh so very much.
Talon for Twitter is a super-sexy Twitter client, that runs smooth, runs super-quick, and has no problems on my phone. The navigation is smooth as silk, and has the Holo slide-out navigation that we all love dearly. You can theme Talon as well, and there are many themes to choose from in the Play Store already, and I am sure more are coming. I love the layers of info that show up while using the app, for instance, when it let’s you know how many tweets you are from the top. Little eye pleasing features like that can go a long way. Talon also takes up the full screen on my Nexus 5, which is another lovely added bonus to make me never want to use anything else twitter again.
So I highly recommend using Talon because I guarantee you that you will not use another client. It is $2.00 in the Play Store, but it is worth it. Check out my video run-through below to see it in action.
UK Prime Minister wants a ‘permanent technological revolution’… and movies downloaded in a second
David Cameron outlined his Spectrum Strategy for the UK’s digital future, touching on 5G mobile broadband, better use of existing wireless frequencies and (as we keep hearing) the internet of things. In a speech at CeBIT 2014 in Hanover, he said: “This is a world on fast forward, a world of permeant technological revolution. Countries like the UK and Germany will only succeed if we have a relentless drive for new ideas and innovations.” The government plans to stake £45 million (around $75 million) on research into that pesky internet of things, with the Prime Minister reckoning that improved spectrum use will lead to economic benefits of around £100 billion by 2025 — and probably less spinning wheel of death.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is so hot it’s set a factory on fire. Literally.
Despite reservations from critics about its overall innovation and design, the Samsung Galaxy S5 still appears to have garnered a lot of attention and a lot of interest, becoming one of the hottest topics of the last month, but we never expected this: apparently, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is so hot that it’s set a factory on fire, in particular a factory that has been contracted to build the S5′s PCBs.
It wasn’t some small, contained fire either; the fire required the attention of 287 firefighters and 80 fire vehicles, causing an estimated $1 billion in equipment damage. Thankfully, it seems that nobody has been hurt. Samsung hasn’t outright said that this incident is going to affect the launch date of the S5, however, it has said they are looking at getting the same PCBs from other factories as to not cause a delay. With a month till the April 11th release date, we hope they get that sorted soon.
Do you think this incident is going to affect the Samsung Galaxy S5 supply when it is finally released? Let us know your opinion in the comments.
