Samsung now No. 1 smartphone vendor, over Apple

In the third quarter of 2011, Samsung was the king of the smartphone world, with one report showing the domination of the manufacturer overtaking Apple's global reign.

Apple may be getting ready to reinvent TV

Remarks by late co-founder Steve Jobs in a new biography have set off a flurry of speculation that Apple will roll out a TV set that could remake the industry. Now that Apple Inc.'s chief visionary is gone, the company is facing a billion-dollar question: Will it be able to conjure another pioneering product without Steve Jobs?

Senh: If they can make Television sets as simple to use and as cool as the iPhone, iPod, and iPads, then they'll have another hit.

Steve Jobs' Post-Mortem Advice For Google, Microsoft, And President Obama

Steve Jobs authorized biography(ironically I ordered it for my Kindle) comes out Monday and he was pretty upset with Google and its Chairman Eric Schmidt. The exact quote, if you haven't read it is:"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong,” Jobs said. “I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go thermonuclear war on this.”

Senh: This article is gone from Forbes. I wonder why.

iPhone Finds Cheating Spouse

How do you like those Apples? An unnamed New Yorker claims Apple's new "Find My Friends" app -- which uses GPS to locate any of your friends that have allowed you access to their location -- led to a stunning revelation: His wife has been cheating on him.

Senh: I call bull. I've heard similar things before with an Android location app, but this sounds really fishy.

Making up: free apps for furious Blackberry users

The BlackBerry has left a bitter taste in the mouths of its users. Trying to make amends for massive outages last week, Research In Motion on Monday promised BlackBerry users free premium apps and a month of technical support. But the apology is unlikely to placate miffed customers, many of whom are considering whether to part with the tarnished brand in favor of more popular devices such as Apple's newest iPhone.

Senh: Users complain that the CEOs for RIM didn't react quick enough, but it seems that it's rare that anyone ever reacts quick enough when things go wrong. Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis addressed the public on the fourth day of the outage. That's not too bad. They have to assess the situation first. I guess in situtations like this, it's always better to over-react. Plus, you never know how bad it is until at least a couple days have passed. "The most important thing is staying connected to the ecosystem and making sure you're on what's the root cause. If you spend more time on PR it's less time finding the root cause," Balsillie said. I agree with that.

Apple sells 4 million iPhone 4S in 3 days

Apple Inc said on Monday it sold 4 million iPhone 4S in the new smartphone's first three days on the market, setting up a strong December quarter for the world's largest technology company. Helped by availability in more countries and on more telecommunications carrier networks, the iPhone 4S, which went on sale on Friday, October 14, managed to outshine the iPhone 4, which sold 1.7 million over its first three days.

Senh: Talk about a loyal following. This is also the phone that people are buying to commemorate Steve Jobs. iPhone 4S stands for "For Steve." I'm not sure if the iPhone will catch up to Android in terms number devices sold, but allowing more carriers to sell them definitely helps.

Steve Jobs ill Biological Mother Unaware Of His Son's Death, Suffering From Dementia

Steve Jobs Biological Mother is to ill to know his Son's death. She is suffering from brain loss (dementia), so she cant remember him.

Senh: Steve Jobs looks just like his biological father. Although he had arranged for his biological mom's medical care to be taken paid for, I wonder why he didn't keep in touch with his biological father.

Android app downloads could surpass Apple by June 2012

In a recent study conducted by Xyologic, results show that in 2012 Apple will no longer have the advantage when it comes to app downloads, the Cupertino-based company will be surpassed by Android.

Senh: That's the way it's heading. Android has already surpassed iPhone as the most-used operating system for smartphones. It's just a matter of time before the number of apps catch up.
