Samsung to report record Q1 as profits double
Like UnlikeFiled in: Samsung
Samsung Electronics on Friday reported unaudited earnings results for the first calendar quarter of 2012. Following a record holiday quarter that saw the company pull in a profit of 5.3 trillion Korean won on sales of 47 trillion won, Samsung expects to report an operating profit of 5.8 trillion won — nearly twice its profit the first quarter last year — and revenue of approximately 45 trillion won. Samsung’s Galaxy S II smartphones are still among carriers’ best-selling smartphones in the United States, and the South Korea-based consumer electronics giant recently announced that sales of its massive Galaxy Note “phablet” topped 5 million units.

Yahoo Chief Product Officer resigns
Like UnlikeThings have been rough at Yahoo for a long time now. Yesterday the company announced massive layoffs with 2000 workers feeling the axe. The brunt of those cuts came within divisions that were overseen by Yahoo Chief Product Officer Blake Irving. Sources close to Yahoo claim that Irving has turned in his resignation.
The sources claim the company also accepted his resignation and that the process of his leaving has been underway for a while. Irving was not at Yahoo this week while the cuts were being made according to AllThingsD. Apparently, Irving opposed the massive cuts Yahoo made this week because there was no clear plan moving forward.

Philips ErgoSensor Monitor scolds you for slouching
Like UnlikeFiled in: MonitorsPhilips241P4LRYEB
Philips has launched a new display that tracks user-attention and can make posture suggestions – or even turn off completely – if the observer isn’t ergonomically ideal. The ErgoSensor Monitor is a 24-inch 1920 x 1080 LCD with a 1,000:1 contrast ratio and integrated stereo speakers, but it’s the ErgoSense system itself that’s most interesting. It relies on an embedded sensor to give optimal viewing distance, ergonomic neck angle and a time break advice.

Google Nexus Tablet expected in July
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsGoogle
We’ve been hearing loud rumblings that a Google Nexus tablet would be landing soon and that Google would be offering this and other Android tablets directly to consumers through an online store. Well, the folks at The Verge are reporting that we shouldn’t expect Google’s tablet until July at the earliest.
While it’s tough to really call this a “delay” because the device has never been officially announced, The Verge said that Google originally wanted the tablet out in May. The report suggests that Google is pushing it back in order to get it out at a lower price.

With the Windows Phone flagship Nokia Lumia 900 getting launched on Easter Sunday, the device will actually be first available in AT&T corporate stores on Monday. To let everyone in the States know that the device is available, AT&T has put up some major signage inside its stores.

It looks like the tag line for AT&T's campaign will be "Beautifully different".

Rumor: Samsung to release 3 Windows Phones this year
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsSamsungMicrosoftWindows Phone 7
Nokia may be getting all the attention (of what little there is) in the Windows Phone world, but let’s not forget that there are other players with their neck in the game. Samsung, who we’ve traditionally recognized as the leading manufacturer of Android devices, has released a few Windows Phone devices that haven’t really taken off, but rumor has it that they’re going to take another stab at Microsoft’s mobile operating system this year with three new models. One of them, codenmaed Mandel, is said to run Windows Phone Tango and come with 4G LTE. Seeing as how we’re not big fans of Tango, let’s skip straight to the good stuff: Apollo. We don’t know anything about these other two smartphones ...

Firefox Adds Outdated Java Plugin Versions to Blocklist
Like UnlikeDownright malicious browser plugins and add-ons are obviously a massive security risk, but make no mistake unpatched or outdated extensions are just as big a headache. For this reason, Mozilla has a blocklist service to deal with plugins that jeopardize the security, stability, or performance of Firefox. The latest addition to the Firefox blocklist happens to be the ubiquitous Java plugin. Hit the jump for more.
Back in February, Oracle rolled out a “critical patch update” for Java SE, patching as many as 14 remotely exploitable vulnerabilities. But considering the Java plugin’s notoriety for remaining outdated, the holes that Oracle plugged last month still pose a risk to many users. In fac...

LulzSec hacker pleads guilty in Sony Pictures security breach case
Like UnlikeFiled in: Sony
An accused member of Anonymous offshoot LulzSec has pleaded guilty to participating in an extensive hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment in 2011. Reuters has reported that in a deal with prosecutors, Cody Kretsinger pleaded guilty to one count each of conspiracy and unauthorized impairment of a protected computer. We still don't have any information on the deal, but it was apparently enough to get him to reverse an earlier "not guilty" plea.
Kretsinger, allegedly known as "recursion" within LulzSec, was accused last year of obtaining information from Sony and passing it along to other members. Kretsinger was the first alleged member of LulzSec to be apprehended, a list that is now significant...

Sony yanks Vita firmware update after release
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesSonyPSVITA
Sony has cited technical faults after pulling a recently released Playstation Vita update. The new firmware, version 1.65, was announced earlier this week, and Sony pushed it out to Vita devices shortly thereafter. However, anyone attempting to find the update now will be told there are no updates available. It’s odd considering this wasn’t a major update by any means.

US Gov't won't ditch BlackBerry, security paramount
Like UnlikeFiled in: RIM BlackBerry
Recently, we heard reports about agencies inside the US Government ready to make the switch to the iPhone, and in some places Android could also have been considered, but now a Washington Post article reports that President Obama and the whole administration have to and will stick to their BlackBerries. Why? It’s all about security, not wants, and while many would like to make the switch to the now more popular iPhone and Android devices, they remain bound to the ‘Berries.
"We appreciate RIM’s focus on security, which is paramount for government use,” Casey Coleman, chief information officer at the General Services Administration (GSA), explained.

Best Buy says ICS for the RAZR delayed, Rezound still on for Friday
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsHTCMotorolaGoogleRezoundAndroid 4.0RAZR
Droid-Life got ahold of an internal employee memo Best Buy sent out yesterday, updating employees on the status of Ice Cream Sandwich updates for some of Verizon’s most popular phones. First, Best Buy told employees what we already reported to you – that the updates headed to the Droid RAZR and RAZR MAXX aren’t going to be ICS, they will be bug fixes.
We’re not sure that translates as ICS being “delayed”; there was never anything but speculation that today’s soak test for RAZR devices would be Android 4.0, so Best Buy may have simply jumped the gun with their previous announcement.
