Edward Snowden was accepted to leave Moscow’s Sheremetyevo airport and enter Russia, according to the news.


  The Russian Federal Migration Service has issued to Snowden the proof of accepting his application for asylum. With the proof, Snowden will be unrestricted for movement in Russia. Accepting the application is just the first step. If Snowden’s application is approved, then he can stay in Russia for one year. When the time is up, one can apply for another year.

Sprint finally brought New York the 4G/LTE network, while the AT&T introduced 4G signal to eight new regions, finally bringing the service to a total of 336 markets around the States. When we look back, it is just a moment ago when the 4G first introduced to the market. Now it becomes the standard wireless network.


And for the business users, the 4G gives you a different experience. When you come to a 3G area, the download speeds maybe, in most cases, 1Mbps for Verizon, and about 512Kbps for Sprint. It’s much higher for the AT&T and T-Mobile due to HSPA+ 3G networks. Turn to the 4G network, the results promote profoundly, around 9Mbps for AT&T.


The promotion may be little for you when you are browsing news, chatting online, but when it comes to the video or downloading software or something like that, it does matter. You may spend 15 minutes to download software under a 3G net, but only 2 minutes under a 4G net.

Google Cloud Print apps land onto Windows desktop

Now with the help of Google’s new app, you can get to the Cloud Print service from Windows applications that are capable of printing. To enjoy the Google Cloud Printer service you need install the printer-driver software for the Google’s online printing service. After installing the driver, you can print your documents, PDFs, excel sheets, and even photos via the Google Cloud Print. When you want to print files, you’ll see an option that says “Google Cloud Printer” in the print dialog box. Previously, to print your files you should send them to the remote printer by the Chrome browser; now you can print from any apps.

When you come to the printing interface, the dialog box will ask you about the device you want to do the printing job. The device may be an Android phone or a tablet or a real printer.  Once you’ve chosen to print a document with Cloud Printer, a Chrome dialog box opens in a separate window asking you to pick which of your Google Cloud devices you want to receive the job.

There is a little problem. The Cloud Printer sometimes may have some compatibility issues with the modern UI. Then you should print with a Chrome browser. And the modern UI applications would not show you the dialog box for you to select a printer. The BUG may be fixed in the formal edition.

Intel releases 4.5W Haswell processors

For a long time, Microsoft is frustrated in its tablets market because of the processor’s high energy cost and high TDP. Even the lowest power-consumption chipset also can not meet the low power requirement. So the tablets are equipped with cooling fans—So the tablets based on Microsoft OS are thicker and more noisy than the ARM-based tablets.

It will not get better until Intel announced the new Core Y-series Haswell processors on Tuesday. The thinner and fanless tablets become reality. Previously Intel announced its Core Y-series chips would be of 6 watts, and the new processors are of 4.5 SDP. The 1.5-watt difference makes the tablet to be fanless. According to Intel’s spokesman, the new processors make the battery life to be more than 9 hours.

The new processors are allowed to boost to a higher performance for short time, gaining a balance between performance and power consumption, but may give press to the fanless cooling system. The new Haswell processors will compete with the ARM chips as well as Intel’s own Atom chipsets. The quantities of the first round of energy-sipping will be limited, according to Intel.

Samsung announces Xpress C410W color laser with NFC

Samsung released two color laser printers with near-field communication (NFC) function on Wednesday, the single-function printer Xpress C410W for $229 and the color laser multifunction printer Xpress C460FW MFP for $399.They are available until next week.



The new technology–NFC allows the user to print through a simple touch. The technology makes the print easier.


The C410W provides you with the basic color print function, while the C460FW MFP can do the same thing that the C410W does, and can provide the additional scanning and faxing. The printer can print 19 pages per minute (ppm) for black print and 4 ppm for color output. There is a 150-sheet input tray and a 50-sheet output tray. The printers’ toner capacities can last for 700 pages for black and 500 pages for each color. Replace the cartridges can also last 1,500 pages for black and 1,000 pages for each color. But the costs for per page may be high to replace cartridges. Because the work style is the cheap lasers They are suitable for home or small-office users.


To compete with the SAMSUNG’s products, Brother announced the MFC-J870DW printer–an NFC-equipped inkjet multifunction printer two weeks ago.

Analyst said that the iPhone 5S will be released in September

Analyst Guo Ming-Chi reports that the iPhone 5S will be shipped by the end of September. But due to the limited production, the iPhone 5S may face a short supply until October or November.


As some components and parts have some problem, the iPhone 5S’ release will be postponed to the end of September. Report says that:” It is believed that the components have difficult in producing and assembling. All the reasons lead to a limited production and cannot supply the market. The situation will be eased until the October to November.”


It has a similar look between the iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5S. The difference is that the iPhone 5S will have a higher pixel camera and supports slow motion shot, and has a built-in fingerprint sensor. For the cheap version of iPhone, Guo thinks its price will be $450 to $550, and the release time will mostly be in early September, when the iPad 5 will be released at the same time.


The thickness of the iPad 5 is said to be thinner and lighter. The design is based on the iPad mini. Although news says that iPad mini with 2nd non- Retina screen will be put to the market, Guo thinks not. To the most expected iPad mini with a Retina screen, Guo said, the larger screen comes with more power consumption. Limited to the size, the iPad mini’s main problem is the battery life. And it becomes one reason that it won’t be released this year.
