Nokia is reportedly working on a true PureView Windows Phone, which will include a sensor similar to the one found on the company’s 41-megapixel 808 handset.

According to The Verge, the phone will be made out of aluminum rather than the polycarbonate typically found in Nokia’s Lumia line. Slated to launch on AT&T later this year, the handset –- code-named EOS — will be one of several Lumias sporting a new design. Nokia is also reportedly working on its own Windows 8 tablet to debut later this year.

2013’s Lumia will likely continue that tradition, providing high-resolution, high-quality photos, especially in low-light situations.

SAN FRANCISCO—September 12, 2012—Apple® today announced iPhone® 5, the thinnest and lightest iPhone ever, completely redesigned to feature a stunning new 4-inch Retina™ display; an Apple-designed A6 chip for blazing fast performance; and ultrafast wireless technology*—all while delivering even better battery life.** iPhone 5 comes with iOS 6, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system with over 200 new features including: the all new Maps app with Apple-designed cartography and turn-by-turn navigation; Facebook integration; Passbook® organization; and even more Siri® features and languages.

Amazon claims the Kindle Fire successfully accounted for 22% of tablet sales in the United States (U.S.).

From Agence France-Presse:

Amazon, which has scheduled a September 6 news event in California widely believed to be a launch for a new version of its tablet, has normally kept its sales data tightly guarded.

But the latest news suggests it has sold several million of the tablets in the US, which is expected to see 2012 sales of some 35 million. The Kindle Fire was launched in the fourth quarter of 2011.

"Kindle Fire quickly became the most successful product launch in the history of Amazon.com, earning over 10,000 5-star customer reviews, and is the number one best-selling product across the millions of items available on Amazon since its introduction 48 weeks ago," Amazon said in a statement.

"Today, Amazon announced that Kindle Fire is sold out, and that in just nine months, Kindle Fire has captured 22 percent of tablet sales in the US."

Jeff Bezos, Amazon's founder and chief executive, gave the strongest hint to date that a new version of the tablet will be coming.

"Kindle Fire is sold out, but we have an exciting roadmap ahead. We will continue to offer our customers the best hardware, the best prices, the best customer service, the best cross-platform interoperability, and the best content ecosystem," he said.

Apple's iPad has about two-thirds of the global market for tablets, and the company is expected to introduce a smaller version of it later this year.

The Kindle Fire costs $199, less than half the price of the cheapest iPad.

It has a seven-inch (17.78-centimeter) screen, smaller than the iPad's 9.7 inches (24.6 centimeters), connects to the Web using Wi-Fi and is powered by a modified version of Google's Android operating system.

Amazon said separately it was launching its Amazon Appstore in Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, offering Android apps.

"Customers in the US have purchased millions of apps, games, in-app items and subscriptions since the store launched last year," said Jim Adkins, vice president of Amazon Appstore.

"Amazon has spent years developing innovative features that help customers find and discover the products that are right for them and have applied that know-how to the Amazon Appstore. We're delighted to extend that experience to our European customers."

Following in the footsteps of Broadcom, Nvidia, and Samsung--all of which joined the nonprofit consortium recently--none other than Twitter will announce on Tuesday that it is joining the foundation as well.

“Linux and its ability to be heavily tweaked is fundamental to our technology infrastructure,” said Chris Aniszczyk, manager of open source for the social networking giant. “By joining the Linux Foundation we can support an organization that is important to us and collaborate with a community that is advancing Linux as fast as we are improving Twitter.”

Twitter's Aniszczyk will deliver a keynote entitled “The OSS Behind a Tweet” at the foundation's LinuxCon conference in San Diego next week.

From Google+:

When you hover over the I'm Feeling Lucky button, it spins to an emotion and clicking on it connects you to a page that reflects that emotion. For instance, I'm Feeling Hungry leads you to a Google results page for restaurants in your area. Bon appetit!

Korean multinational electronics company LG is reportedly developing a thinner display panels with technology in-cell for the next Apple Smartphone iPhone.

Reuters reports that LG company has ordered the mass production of a batch of 4-inch displays in preparation for the unveiling of Apple's new handset next month.

"We just began mass production and we don't expect any disruption in supplies," LG Display's chief executive Han Sang-beom told reporters.

The screens are said to feature an in-cell panel that eliminates the need for the touch-screen layer underneath, allowing for a slimmer form factor. A 4-inch display would bring the iPhone range in line with competitors such as the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Apple's next handset has also been tipped to feature a smaller connector dock, and metal alloy back casing, as well as 4G LTE, NFC technology and the iOS 6 operating system.

To be sure, all had to wait until September 12 where Apple will announce something on that date.

Adobe has released a critical patch for its Flash and AIR applications, following the discovery of yet more serious security vulnerabilities in the software.

Affecting users of Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Chrome OS and Android, the flaws include four memory corruption vulnerabilities, an integer overflow vulnerability, and a cross-domain information leakage issue. You should be careful resorting to other methods to get Flash back, though, as multiple malicious Flash .apk files have been making rounds across the internet.

In its notification regarding the updates, Adobe admitted to the seriousness of the issues. 'These updates address vulnerabilities that could case a crash,' the company explained, 'and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.'

That latter, of course, is the key: while system crashes are irritating, the flaws in Flash and AIR mean that an attacker could potentially load a malicious file into a website and automatically execute arbitrary code on visiting systems - potentially taking full control of the targets with very little effort.

The updates area available to download from Adobe now, and we'd certainly recommend that you do so if you value your system's security.

Google makes a supreme selling advertising – nearly 97% of its revenue comes from advertising. In the U.S., 41% of all online advertising dollars go to Google. Ever wonder which keywords are the most expensive with Google AdWords?

WordStream, an online marketing company, analyzed the most expensive keyword categories for online advertising and found that keywords related to Insurance, Loans, Mortgage, Attorneys and Credit were the most expensive with advertising costs ranging between $55-$45 per click.

In the technology domain, the high-paying keywords are around web hosting, conference call services, CRM / help-desk software and data recovery software.
The advertising rates for such niches are so high for two reasons – there’s plenty of competition among advertisers so they have to bid higher to outbid the other and second, the return after winning a customer is extremely high. Image Credit: wordstream.com
