| “Samsung still playing with Apple’s Strings – iPhone 5s A7 Chip Designed by Samsung” Posted: 22 Sep 2013 08:48 AM PDT Samsung is still holding Apple; in a blog post by Chipworks, it was announced that Apple's A7 chip for iPhone 5s has been designed by Samsung. A fight regarding Apple's reliance on Samsung for the manufacturing of chips, revealed this fact.
Chipworks was also able to figure out that M7, known as the "motion processor" gave a vibe that it had been designed by another party. And according to the analysis and survey conducted, Chipworks was expecting an NXP device and an NXP device was what they got. The M7 is in the form of NXP LPC18A1. The LPC1800 series being of a very high performance represents a great success for NXP. Before the launch of iPhone 5S, speculation was flying around that Apple might be getting a new chip supplier company by the name of TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co). However the rumor turned out to be just a buzz setting our tails on fire. However, it is being anticipated that TSMC will start for Apple from January 2014. The reason for this expectation is that Apple is cutting its supply orders to the Samsung plant in Austin.

| Cortana, the next new Personal Assistant comes with windows 8.1? Posted: 22 Sep 2013 08:39 AM PDT The idea of a personal assistant, a companion who knows what we want and when we want is simply spectacular. Microsoft, trying to fulfill this fantasy has been giving details regarding its personal assistant that has been code named, Cortana. The character that has been taken from a game of Halo series, is supposed to compete with Apple's Siri voice recognition and interaction capabilities and Google Now context-aware ability.
The assistant will be an integral fragment of the windows 8.1 which is being released in 2014 but even then Cortana will only be available in the United States. While we sadly inform the rest of the world, they will have to be a little more patient. The International Support for the service is being assumed to cross the borders of the USA after 2014, the support that consists of 44 languages. The waves of enthusiasm are being spread all over the world amongst Windows Phone users. Plus the name of the character from the infamous game series has created such hype that already above 20,000 was signing a petition request to Microsoft for "Cortana" to be the name. People are feeling so strongly about the name that a blogger named “Quicksilverr” wrote, “Cortana is the best possible name for an AI. She has guided us all on the Halo games and now she can guide us on our phones.” Lets' just cross our fingers for Cortana!
