and, now, smartphones. Letv announced its entry into the Chinese smartphone market in April, and according to Li and his colleague JD Howard, the company plans to offer phones in the United states by year's end."

The deadly global war for sandit's an audacious move, given the dominance of Apple

"What's going to be critical, "Howard says, "is what you use your smartphone for.""The company joins a wave of Chinese Internet companies eying the United states. E-commerce conglomerate Alibaba recently debuted on Wall street (its market cap the day of its IPO exceeded that of Facebook, Amazon,

Basically, they see their phones as a way of delivering Chinese video to Chinese speakers in the United states. Then they may do much the same for people who've immigrated to the United states from other countries."

telling them about federal guidelines on the amount of radiation that cell phones can emit
and the instructions on safe phone use. Lawyers and clinicians involved in creating the new law said that it is meant to make consumers aware of the already existing regulations.
In 2011, the World health organization classified the kind of low energy radiation that cell phones emit as"possibly carcinogenic"because of a link between cell phone use and a type of malignant brain tumor called glioma and a benign brain tumor called acoustic neuroma.
One study of nearly 360,000 adults in Denmark did not find an increase in the number of brain tumors even among those who had been using a cell phone for at least 13 years.
THE WHO panel took into account studies that suggested that those who used cell phones did have higher rates of certain brain tumors.
The Interphone study is the largest study to date looking at cell phones and brain tumors. It involves 13 countries,
Those participants were 40%more likely than those who never used a cell phone to have a glioma.
and thus the link between heavy phone use and brain tumor risk in the study might not be real."
A recent analysis found that people who used a mobile phone were 30%more likely to have a glioma,
The researchers also found that users of cordless phones which emit less radiation than cell phones,

Another argument against the possibility that cell phones cause cancer is that there has not been an increase in the incidence of brain tumors in the United states,

#Samsung Finally Has a Phone That Runs Its Own Operating system After years of delays and false starts,
Samsung Electronics Co. has launched finally a smartphone that runs on its own Tizen operating system, a landmark move that may mark the beginning of the end of its dependence on Google Inc. Android system.
The company has pared the offering down to a no-frills product aimed at first-time smartphone buyers at the bottom end of the market,
still less Apple ios. Those two systems operate 19 out of every 20 smartphones worldwide.
according to the Wall street journal. Reuters quoted Samsung as saying that the phone will have more than 1, 000 apps available for downloadess than one-tenth of those available for Android and ios. At the bottom end of the market, that may be no great problem.
Samsung was deposed last year by Xiaomi as the largest smartphone maker in China. Tizen is already in use in Samsung smartwatches and cameras and, most recently, its TVS.
even in the world third biggest market for smartphones, Samsung can achieve enough scale for Tizen to persuade skeptical developers that making apps for it is worth their while.
At $92, the phone is almost four times as expensive as the ultra-basic Nokia 130 phone

The electrodes worked for about 100 charge-discharge cycles without significantly losing their energy storage capacity. hat s still quite a way from the goal of about 500 cycles for cell phones
which uses very similar technology to a cellphone base station. This means the number of MKIDS that can be read out for a given price is increasing according to Moore s Lawâ##overall processing power for computers doubles every two yearsâ
The device wirelessly converts the microwave signal to direct current voltage capable of recharging a cell phone battery or other small electronic device according to a report appearing in Applied Physics Letters.
The design process used to create our metamaterial array takes these effects into account allowing the cells to work together. ith additional modifications the researchers say the power harvesting metamaterial could potentially be built into a cell phone allowing the phone to recharge wirelessly while not in use.
