iPhone 5s, 3 Most dissapointing factors.

1. The screen remains the same

As I noted back in August, Apple needed to do just one thing to keep me as an iPhone customer: enlarge the screen. I'm not looking for an iPhablet, mind you, just something in the Galaxy S4 range to better accommodate my aging eyes.

Alas, it wasn't to be. The iPhone 5S has the same screen dimensions as the iPhone 5, which is merely half an inch taller than my iPhone 4S. I'm afraid that's a big no-sale for me.

2. No improvement to battery life

I don't need or want a faster processor in my phone, and I suspect the same is true for 98 percent of all users. What I do need is a bigger, better battery. The iPhone 5s doesn't have one.

Yes, Apple managed to deliver more or less the same talk, video, Internet, and standby times despite including a faster processor, but that's not an improvement. That's treading water while carrying more weight.

3. Still no 128GB model

I've never understood why Apple doesn't offer this option. Most users carry growing libraries of apps, games, music, movies, and the like, but Apple has never seen fit to push past the 64GB limit for iPhone storage. Most Android phones have a microSD slot that allows virtually unlimited storage -- maybe not in a big contiguous chunk, but at least you have the extra breathing room if you need it.

Schiller talked up the iPhone 5S as the "gold standard" of smartphones. So where's the 128GB option many users have spent years clamoring for?

Google Fiber - GBPS Speed is here.

Google Fiber is a project to build a broadband Internet network infrastructure using fiber-optic communication. The initial location was chosen following a competitive selection process. Over 1,100 communities applied to be the first recipient of the technology.On March 30, 2011, Google announced that Kansas City, Kansas, would be the first community where the new network would be deployed.The network was subsequently rolled out to Kansas City, Missouri, with plans underway for a further expansion to several other Kansas City area suburbs, as well as Austin, Texas, and Provo, Utah.

After building an infrastructure of the network, in July 2012, Google announced pricing for Google Fiber. The service will offer three options. These include a free broadband internet option, a 1 Gbps internet option for $70 per month and a version that includes television service for $120 per month. The internet service includes 1 terabyte of Google Drive service and the television service includes a 2 terabyte DVRrecorder in addition to the Google Drive service. The DVR will record up to eight live television shows simultaneously. The television options also includes a Nexus 7 tablet that will act as a remote control for the system. In addition, television service will also stream live program content on iPad and Android tablet computers.

Not Key Lime Pie, Its Kit Kat.

In a surprise twist, Google announced that the next version of Google's operating system will be named KitKat in honor of the Hershey's (or Nestle) chocolate bar, instead of Key Lime Pie, which previous code numbers and images had led us to believe.

If a software company co-branding with a confectionery brand feels unprecedented, you'd be correct. The closest we've come to seeing another brand work with Android came in 2010 with the 2.2 Froyo release. Feeling more like a friendly gesture than a legal arrangement, nationwide frozen yogurt chain TCBY congratulated Google.

Everyone thought that the next version of Android would be called Key Lime Pie, but Google has surprised everyone by naming it after the Nestle chocolate bar, the Kit Kat. Yep, you read that right, the next version of Android is named after an actual chocolate bar.

Google is well known for naming each version of its Android operating system after desserts and treats, such as Gingerbread, Honeycomb and Jelly Bean. It's also incremented its codenames alphabetically, giving everyone the view that Android 4.4 would be called Key Lime Pie.

Google's Sundar Pichai, head of both Android and Chrome, has confirmed that the next version of Android will be called KitKat.

Microsoft to buy Nokia.

Microsoft has agreed a deal to buy Nokia's 

mobile phone business for 5.4bn euros ($7.2bn;

 £4.6bn).

Nokia will also license its patents and mapping services to Microsoft. Nokia shares jumped 35% on the news, whereas Microsoft's fell more than 5%.

The purchase is set to be completed in early 2014, when about 32,000 Nokia employees will transfer to Microsoft.

Nokia has fallen behind rivals Samsung and Apple, while critics say Microsoft has been slow into the mobile market.

Describing the deal as a "big, bold step forward", Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer told the BBC that his company was in the process of transforming itself from one that "was known for software and PCs, to a company that focuses on devices and services".
