Samsung Galaxy Note III tipped to come in three colors, including pink
Aug 23rd 2013, 03:34, by Juan Carlos Torres

As expected, we’re just a week or so shy from a barrage of product announcements and we’re still getting last minute leaks. Now it’s Samsung‘s turn and word is that the much-awaited Galaxy Note III will come in one more color other than black and white.

Samsung’s next S Pen phablet is expected to be a giant in size and hardware, with a 5.7-inch 1080p Full HD Super AMOLED running on a 2.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor and 3 GB of RAM. It is also rumored to be packing a 3450 mAh battery, although some are saying it will only have a 3200 mAh one. That’s still not bad for that added punch.

We know that the Galaxy Note III will already have some variations, with an 8-core Exynos 5 Octa model being made available to 3G-only regions while 4G LTE users will be receiving the mentioned Qualcomm variant. But now it seems that there will yet be another source of differentiation as the phablet is said to be available not only in black and white, but also in pink.

With the Sony Honami rumored to have a purple option and the HTC One having red and blue versions exclusive to some carriers, does this point to an emerging pattern of manufacturers offering unique color options right off the bat? We really don’t have much about the Galaxy Note III’s appearance except for some leaked prototypes and renders, so we’ll just have to wait for September 4 to really see it all.

Google Search gets wordy, adds sample sentences and origins
Aug 23rd 2013, 02:57, by Juan Carlos Torres

Google has just revealed a couple of new features that will not only delight lovers of words but will also help learners and researches get a better grasp of the English Language. Now featuring on Google Search are usage samples, etymologies, and translations into supported languages.

Hardcore Google users might already be familiar with the Google word search feature, but for those who aren’t, here’s the lowdown. Prefixing a word with “define”, such as “define fortuitous” in Google’s example, will bring up a Google Now card that used to show only a couple of definitions as well as links to the sources of those definitions. That has now changed with Google augmenting the results with more relevant and helpful information.

Google Search will now include example sentences that make use of the word as well as other synonyms. But a probably more interesting feature is the Origin section of the card which shows not only the etymological source of the word but also its historical origin. It even has a graph for the word’s usage over time since the 1800! Users who fear that the new features will clutter up search results need not worry as the additional information are not displayed by default and can be shown or hidden at a click of a button.

The word origin feature is not available for all words yet. According to Google, these new features have only rolled out on desktop and mobile in the US only, but seems to be available in other regions as well, at least for web browser searches.
