The Facebook Browser would include components, plugins and Facebook menus that enrich web browsing sessions with specific elements of Facebook social network, such as recommendation of interesting pages, posting pictures and comments.

Given the popularity of Opera Mobile browser, this new venture could lead for a new Facebook success, resulting in a web browser even more attractive for those 900 million followers of the social network.

With the launch of its own web browser, Facebook will enter a competition on two fronts with Google, the owner of Google+ social network and Google Chrome web browser - recently advanced to the status of the most widely used web browser in the world.

Google Nexus Released in June. Rumor?

The latest rumors said that Google’s Nexus tablet will reportedly ship in June with an initial volume of 600,000 units per month. Digitimes stated the tablet (which is developed incollaboration with ASUS) is ready to be launched in July. DigiTimes notes that Google initially wanted to release the Nexus tablet in May, but the developers did not come with a satisfactory design and the cost was a little bit high than expected.

Google had to make some modifications and that’s why the launch of the tablet was delayed till July. Google’s hopes for its new device are very high and people expect that the shipments will reach 2.5 million units by the end of the year. Rumor has it that Google’s will be packed with NVIDIA’s quad-core Tegra 3 CPU and could have a very small price, of $199. Most rumors say that the device will be unveiled on June 27th when Google’s annual I/O conference will take place.

It looks like everyone is following Amazon’s steps and want to produce cheaper tablets as Google Nexus is meant to be a direct rival for Kindle Fire in both size and price. Also, it is rumored that Apple will release a tablet around 7.85 inches called iPad Mini. Plus, there is also the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab, so the affordable 7-inch market will be very crowded. There will come a time when almost everybody will own one of these devices, even more than one.

Probably, the Google Nexus Tab will feature Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. However, it seems that the operating system will be upgraded this year (probably in November), so Google can sell its tablet with Android 5.0

The earliest has been reported by Christian Post on April 6, 2012. It said that the rumor release for the upcoming 7-inch Google Nexus tablet has reportedly been set back until July, according to tech site 9to5Google.

The device was originally expected to debut in May, however that date was only a previous rumor that was never officially confirmed by the company.

The news of a July release comes after The Verge published this report earlier today, showing the reasons for the delay.

"The Mountain View team plans to make some design changes and hopes to lower the price from $249," wrote the site. "The tablet, made in partnership with Taiwan's Asustek Computer, currently comes with a 7-inch screen, an Nvidia Tegra 3 quad-core processor, and is Wi-Fi only."

The tablet will also include Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich and Google reportedly hopes to lower the price down into the $149-$199 range in order to better compete with the low-end tablet market leader, the Amazon Kindle Fire.

Other reports surfaced yesterday regarding Apple's rumored iPad mini. The company is reportedly testing a 7.85-inch iPad in its labs, according to Daring Fireball's John Gruber, who revealed the information in a recent podcast.

Gruber was a guest on a Talk Show podcast hosted by Dan Benjamin, who asked him if he thought a 7.85-inch iPad would ever be released. His answer was quite surprising.

"Well, I don't know," said Gruber. "What I do know is that they have one in the lab … a 7.85-inch iPad that runs at 1024 x 768."

He also described this device's capabilities in comparison to its larger predecessors. "It's just like the 9.7-inch iPad shrunk down a little bit," he added. "Apps wouldn't need to be recompiled or redesigned to work optimally on it. It's just the iPad smaller."

According the Mac Rumors, Gruber is reliable source for information pertaining to Apple and its products. He also noted that the company has many products that enter into testing that never actually make it into the open market.

2013 Technology Trends

If the world will remain on actual course, 2013 could be a year for gadgets, new trends and amazing gizmos  easily overshadowing conventional Macs and PCs. The market embodies a provision wheel, and analysts are called for another prevision in order to depict what 2013 technology trends will look like. Understandably, we'll experience more bandwidth, more 3D (hopefully it will be real 3D) and new website interactions. 3D TV will be raging, and many of us we'll be using tablets for something.

So, this is me looking in a crystal ball and trying to describe what 2013 will look like.

The Launch of the PS4 and Xbox 720

We saw the launch of Nintendo's Wii U in 2012 and I'm sure that we'll see the new PS4 and Xbox 720 by the end of 2013. These new consoles will provide improvements in graphical power, design, gaming experience. The PS4 was codenamed "Orbis" and is build around AMD x64 CPU. It is believed that it could handle screen resolutions of up to 4000 x 2000 pixels. 3D is the thing of the future, and PS4 will provide 3D gaming experience in full HD.

The Xbox 720 is codenamed "Durango" and is powered by an 16 cores IBM Power PC CPU.

Cloud Computing and Gaming

Apple has already launched Airplay, which grants you to stream games wirelessly to your HDTV. Only that producers and coders are searching ways to take it to the next level and grant you to leave the gaming consoles behind and move to cloud computing and gaming. Can we anticipate a new gaming network in 2013? Why not!

Networking in 2013: 10 Gigabit & 4G

4G technology is here for some time but it's not spread worldwide. This is history in the making, and 4G networks just started to rollout really fast. With advances to both roaming and bandwidth direction, 4G networks will provide more and better connection. 4G means HD resolution on your cell phone, less delay and more speed.

Another cool technology that we may see in 2013 is the 10 gigabit networking. Developed by Marvel, this networking product is called Avanta and it promises 100 times more speed.

Real 3D

I genuinely believed that we would not experience real 3D until 2018, mostly because the active shutter glasses that are presently required are way too costly. Nevertheless 3ality Digital showcased a professional JVC flat panel display that was really good with the far less costly Dolby 3D polarized glasses that they provide in theaters.

I really believe that 3D movies seen through these glasses could be more popular in 2013.

Bottle Opener Wayfarers

If you love beer like I love beer you'll love to have a pair of Bottle Opener Wayfarers. This project is called JackHawk 9000 and I found it on KickStarter. Although they appear as normal glasses, it packs integrated bottle openers on each titanium arm.

The Dark Knight Rises: Catwoman's Gadgets

The Dark Knight Rises is set to be released on July 20, 2012. I'm a big fan of Batman franchise and I know there are many Batman fans among my readers. So, let's see some cool Catwoman's Gadgets from the upcoming movie:

The Motorcycle - We've seen Batman riding a motor in the second movie, but I wonder what's new here...

The Glasses - I'm sure these glasses have special functions. Maybe... see through walls?

The Gun - Batman is not into guns. He likes to punch, kick and hurt in other ways. But this does seem to apply to Catwoman.

The craziest case mod in the world

No, this is not a new military robot! 

I've seen a really interesting case mods in the past but nothing beats this one. I know the title may seem a little definitive but, as you can see, this crazy case mod is unique and goes 10 levels over anything I've seen before.

Design by Wehr-Wolf of Ukraine, this crazy case mod is amazingly precise,  looks like a real-life military robot ready to scare anyone in the room. I'm not sure what's the most scary element: the steel, the gun or the red color that rise from its parts.

The new headquarters will have a ring shape with an area of ​​2.8 million square meters. To achieve this up to 176 acres will be demolished.

Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III. Price, Specs and Features.

Another Quad-core powered Android

Samsung users have expected a quad-core processor for a while, its direct competitors in the Android space like HTC and ZTE already boasting of quad-core processors. Samsung Galaxy S III meets that expectation and possibly opens the door for a few other Galaxy phones to go quad-core. The 1.4GHz quad-core processor is really doing its job, providing the needed power and performance to drive this super phone. Samsung Galaxy S III runs the Google Android 4.0 OS (Ice Cream sandwich) with all the new software features it brings to the table.

The Age of Massive Displays

After its success of the Samsung Galaxy Note, a mini-tablet/smartphone combo, Samsung is confident that consumers love larger displays. The Samsung Galaxy III comes with a larger display, a 4.8-inch Super AMOLED display. Despite coming with a larger display, the view is crisp, thanks to HD quality resolution (720 x 1280 pixels, 306 ppi). The AMOLED display is protected with Corning Glass 2.

8 megapixels camera

The 8 megapixels camera features full HD (1080p) video recording, Autofocus, Smile detection, and LED Flash. One difference of the two cameras is that the Gallaxy S III can be taking photos and at the same time recording videos. It features a 2MP front facing camera with 720p HD video.

Network, Data, and Internet browsing

Samsung Galaxy S III features HSPA+ high-speed data with up to 21Mbps downloads. However, an LTE variant is expected to ship to the United States. Outside 3G coverage users will access data services on GPRS and EDGE. Galaxy S 3 accesses wireless LAN networks on Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n with DLNA and Wi-Fi Direct support. It can also function as a Wi-Fi hotspot. The phone supports Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC.

Galaxy S III at a glance:

A lengthy list for sure and pretty great for the most part. In addition to plenty of extra screen estate, resolution and processing power, the Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III brings a new, much larger battery, the futuristic sounding eye-tracking technology, and also hides several cool software tricks up its sleeve.

In fact, of all the rumored goodies, the non-PenTile screen and the 12 megapixel camera are the only ones which didn't make the cut, but we are not even sure you should feel too sorry about that. The subpixel density is still on par with what the S II offered, while the camera got a whole new sensor, thus it might still turn out to be a nice upgrade.
