Samsung will soon unveil the next version of its flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S6, which might be released in two distinct versions at the Moblie World Congress on March 2 to 4 in Barcelona, including a regular model and an “Edge” version. 
Samsung has in the past, been successful at keeping designs of their upcoming smartphones under wraps, and even though leaked images of earlier versions of the Galaxy series have floated around the Internet, very few have been credible. However, this time, Droid-life reportedly spotted images of the Samsung Galaxy S6 on accessories maker Spigen's Amazon sales page.

 Samsung had said that it plans to launch an “innovative premium handset” this year, featuring a “special function.” The company did not explain what that actually means during its earnings call on January 29, though Samsung’s statements may fall in line with speculation detailing the Galaxy S Edge model, which should basically be a special, innovative version of the Galaxy S6.
Looking at the picture, which cannot be confirmed for its authenticity, the only design change from Galaxy S5 visible so far is the position of camera and flash.

Micromax’s Yu Yureka sales sees 10000 units going out of stock in just 3 seconds

Micromax’s Yu Yureka sales sees 10000 units going out of stock in just 3 seconds

Apparently, all 10000 units of the Micromax’s Yu Yureka vanished from Amazon India within 3 seconds of today’s sale being flagged off. At 2pm, the third batch of the Cynogen-based smartphone was made available for grabs. For those who missed it, registration for the next race to buy the handset is now open.

As for the claim of 10000 units of the yu  yurekha getting sold out in 3 seconds, you may want to swallow it hesitantly, with a pinch of salt. Earlier this month, there were allegations about the company having fudged the figures with regards to the handset’s first ever sale. It was reported that only 2657 pieces were purchased by customers, even though 10000 were supposedly picked up.

Instead of reacting to these accusations with a proper defense, Amazon India and Micromax chose to keep mum. The two appear ready to continue playing the way Xiaomi does, though they will have to be careful about covering their tracks in the future, assuming there are any to hide. On January 22, more Yu Yureka devices were made available again, rendering today’s to be the third flash sale.

Yu Yureka specifications:

– 2GB of RAM, 16GB ROM, 32GB expandability

– 1.5GHz octa core Snapdragon 615 chip

– 5.5-inch 720p IPS display

– Android 4.4 KitKat (Cyanogen OS 11)

– 13MP and 5MP cameras

– 2500mAh battery

Google Hand Over WikiLeaks Gmail Data to Authorities

 WikiLeaks wants to know why Google took two and a half years to notify three WikiLeaks staff members that it had handed over their Gmail data to the U.S. authorities.

Gigaom reports that WikiLeaks section editor Sarah Harrison, spokesperson Kristinn Hranfsson and journalist Joseph Farrell were notified by Google on Christmas Eve 2014 that back in 2012, the company had been forced by a Virginia district court to hand over their emails, email metadata, draft and deleted emails, contact addresses, and the IP addresses from which they had logged in.

On Sunday, WikiLeaks published the search and seizure warrants, as well as the emails the three had received from Google claiming the legal process was initially subject to a nondisclosure or ‘gag’ order that prohibited Google from disclosing the existence or details of the legal process to them.

WikiLeaks have also published an open letter to Google chairman Eric Schmidt demanding copy of the gag order, and a full report of all Gmail account data that Google provided the authorities. A small part of the letter read as follows:

We are astonished and disturbed that Google waited over two and a half years to notify its subscribers     that a search warrant was issued for their records… 

 

Had Ms Harrison, Mr Hranfsson, or Mr Farrell been aware of such proceedings they could have intervened and protected their interests including their rights to privacy, association and freedom from illegal searches.

 

The letter was drafted by Center for Constitutional Rights president Michael Ratner, and also asks Google if they challenged the warrants before complying and handing the Gmail data over to the authorities. It is unclear how long the gag order that prevented Google from notifying the WikiLeaks staff of the seizure was in place for.

Mozilla Adds Virtual Reality to its Firefox Browser

 Mozilla has decided to bring something new to its Firefox browser. The company has released a limited edition of Firefox that will support web-based virtual reality apps through Oculus Rift. Mozilla has said that it will try to release its Web Virtual Reality API through Google’s Cardboard. Mozilla will introduce this feature on the web through its Developer or Nightly editions.

The Web Virtual Reality will be an experimental API that will allow the connection to the browser to virtual reality headsets is easier. To the users downloading Firefox’s Developer or Nightly edition builds, you will also be required to download a separate add-on in order for your Oculus Rift headsets to work. In a blog post, Mozilla’s engineering director Vlad Vukicevic said the company is rapidly making improvements to both of the VR interfaces.
 
Previously, users and content creators had to download a separate build of Firefox. This one-off build usually lagged behind ongoing development. From now on, VR capabilities will be developed alongside other continuous Firefox improvements. While Firefox Nightly builds include core WebVR functionality, an additional add-on is needed to integrate with the Oculus Rift headset.
 
While VR support will be enabled in our Nightly and Developer Edition (Alpha) builds, it will currently be automatically disabled in Beta and Release builds. We’re still making rapid improvements and changes to both the VR interfaces and the necessary platform support pieces. Once WebVR is more complete, we’ll discuss shipping plans to our Beta and Release builds.

Along with the web browser updates, Mozilla will also be launching a new version of MozVR As of now, the site only hosts a how-to-guide to get Oculus Rift owners to know how to use Firefox’s new virtual reality capabilities.
