Supposed iPhone 6 parts surface on Twitter, hint at a larger screen on the way (update: likely fake)

Lately it seems like Apple can't build anything without a few prototype cases leaking into public view, and now we're seeing pictures of what could be the next iPhone. Posted by a Twitter user earlier today and addressed to several Apple-focused websites, the "iPhone 6" shells look very close to current models, but are thinner and have space for a larger edge to edge-style display, which has been rumored before. Sonny Dickson, who has previously obtained iPhone and iPad parts prior to the launch of new devices, has also apparently received the same pictures and tells MacRumors they came from a source in China. Based on the ports, MacRumors says the parts here are 2.6-inches wide, compared to the iPhone 5s which is 2.31 inches. Are these pics the real thing, and if they are, do they represent what we'll likely see from Apple later this year? Without any details to back them up we can't be sure, but you can check out a few more pictures for yourself after the break.

Update: Forum posters at MacRumors have taken a closer look at the images and found several reasons to believe they're rendered fakes, including textures that repeat and the usage of an out-of-date font.

Facebook Wins WhatsApp Gold

Facebook Wins WhatsApp Gold
By Rebel Raju Admin



 No one is criticizing Facebook for being rash in doling out $19 billion for WhatsApp -- in fact, the acquisition looks like a major coup. With its simplicity and universal appeal, WhatsApp could be the perfect vehicle not only to ensure that Facebook has a strong messaging platform, but also to spur the network's growth in developing markets. As for monetization -- no worries, it will come.

Facebook on Wednesday announced the acquisition of WhatsApp in a US$19 billion deal geared toward increasing its global connectivity.

The company paid $4 billion in cash, $12 billion worth of Facebook shares and an additional $3 billion in restricted stock to acquire WhatsApp. Facebook was drawn to the company's ability not only to connect mobile users worldwide, but also to sustain rapid growth in a competitive arena.

More than 450 million people use WhatsApp each month, with 70 percent of them active on a given day. WhatsApp is adding more than 1 million new registered users per day.

WhatsApp will maintain its brand and independence going forward, and nothing will change for WhatsApp users as a result of the acquisition, the companies said. As part of the deal, WhatsApp cofounder and CEO Jan Koum will join Facebook's board of directors.

Top Dollar 

 

The $19 billion that Facebook shelled out is worth it, considering that WhatsApp is more than a messaging service, said Brent Csutoras, social media strategist at Kairay Media.
"At first, I was shocked by the $19 billion valuation, even if it is only $3 billion in cash," he told the E-Commerce Times. "However, when you start looking at other valuations for tech companies over the last two years, such as Twitter at nearly $10 billion, you find two important things that have really been essential in a higher-than-normal valuation: user and user data acquisition, and mobile usage."
The investment will pay off, said Csutoras, especially since WhatsApp fits so well into Facebook's core business model.
"The purchase of WhatsApp helps Facebook further accomplish their goal, which is to give people the power to be more connected," he said. "With the growth of mobile, connectivity throughout the world and technology, it is an amazing valuation -- but also an amazing buy for Facebook."

What's Next for WhatsApp

Figuring out how WhatsApp will add to Facebook's bottom line will come slowly, said Arvind Bhatia, an analyst at Sterne Agee.

"WhatsApp is clearly in the very early stages of monetization as management's entire focus currently is user growth and user experience," he told The E-Commerce Times.

WhatsApp's continued growth will be key to its eventual monetization, said Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg a call following announcement of the acquisition.

Global expansion -- not ad sales -- will be the winning strategy, he said.

The money will come once users worldwide turn to WhatsApp for their international connectivity needs, said Trip Chowdhry, senior analyst for Global Equities Research.

"There is the potential here for so much growth in the developing world, because WhatsApp is one of the only applications that runs equally well on feature phones and smartphones, and is fast and simple to use," he told the E-Commerce Times. "This is a very smart and essential acquisition for Facebook."

Apple relaunching 8GB iPhone 4 in India to boost sales

Apple is said to be re-releasing the iPhone 4 in India, specifically the 8GB model, according to The Economic Times. The move comes as a result to boost sales in the Indian market, which Apple has been losing to cheaper rivals running Android and Windows Phone 8.

The iPhone 4 was a popular model for Apple because of its relatively lower price compared to the newer iPhones in India. Apple and the iPhone in particular are aspirational brands in India and as such are on everyone's wishlist but the high price of the unlocked models means most people either go for the older cheaper models or some rival brand, of which there is no shortage.

With the iPhone 4 being discontinued last year after the launch of the iPhone 5c and the 5s, Apple lost one of its key sellers in the Indian market, along with its customers as well. With the relaunch of the iPhone 4, Apple is trying to gain back some of these customers.

According to the source, the iPhone 4 8GB will be priced in India at around INR 15,000 ($244) through buy back schemes and EMI options. The phone is expected to go on sale as early as next week.

Here’s a few great reasons to start a blog

 

One of the first things that attract people to blogging is the fact anyone can do it. We all have a beef we want to get off our chests, a cause we feel passionately about, a business we want to promote, or some personal thoughts and emotions we want to share.



Maybe you want to start a blog and join the Internet community but don’t know where to begin or what to start blogging about. Here’s a few of the more common ideas that have been proven to work.

Promotions


Regardless of the type of blogging you get involved with, you’ll need to set up a routine and blog on a constant basis to attract readers and the search engines to the work you do. Nowhere is this more important than when you’re promoting something online like a business, product, service or even cause. Take the time to select good keywords that describe your business and learn how to blend them in seamlessly with your text for the best results.

People


The burden of suffering through a hard situation or illness can be lightened when you share your thoughts, feelings and experiences online in a blog. A problem shared is a problem halved as the saying goes and cyberspace is a great place to do some good this way. There are lots of blogs that deal with health-related issues on the net. It’s not necessary to look at the darker side of life either. There are many interesting and helpful sites online that deal with parenting and other similar issues.

Professional


The Internet is a great place to establish yourself as an expert in your chosen field as well. If you’re looking to establish a reputation as someone to turn to in a specific field, the Internet and blogs are a great one/two punch to reach as many people as possible in little time. Blogs are an excellent way to expand your online presence when you want to spread the net of your influence over as wide an area as possible.

Friends and Family


If you’re looking to stay connected to friends and family in different parts of the world in other time zones, some of the other platforms like Skype might not be the best method. A blog can be the perfect solution to share stories, photos and even videos.

Remember, no matter what subject matter you choose, a successful blog needs to be nurtured and maintained. It’s also important to set aside specific times to blog so the people who read and follow you will know when they can read your latest entries. Part of being successful is about consistency. Finally, there are some income generating activities like advertising you can work at through blogging, but you need to take the time to generate a reputation for the blog first.
