Oppo teases 6.65mm-thick smartphone, about to steal 'world's thinnest' title from Huawei

China-based Poop Oppo is back again with yet another smartphone, only this time there's no pretty girl teasing Mr. DiCaprio. Instead, what we have here is an exclusive leak that shows off a 6.65mm-thick device -- just 0.03mm thinner than the Ascend P1 S from local rival Huawei. In other words, if all goes well then Oppo will have us the world's slimmest smartphone. Details are scarce at the moment, but judging by the above picture this phone will come with a metallic bezel of some sort, along with three capacitive buttons and a three-pin contact for dock connection. Obviously, stay tuned for more deets.

Google Drive official: 5GB of free storage, Chrome web apps, Wave-like sharing and editing (video)

If it happened any other way, it just wouldn't be as satisfying, now would it? After years of leaks, murmurs, hubbub and other familiar synonyms, Google's mythical cloud storage platform is now official... sort of. As Lady Fate would have it, the company apparently outed a memo of the features on its French blog earlier today, but before it could yank the 'pull' switch, an eagle-eyed reader managed to grab the text and run it through -- surprise, surprise -- Google Translate. What's left is an official-as-you'll-get-right-now transcript of Google Drive's features, but contrary to the hype, it all feels way more enterprise-centric than consumers may have wanted. For starters, there's no real mention of music (we guess Google Music is on its own, there), and there's just 5GB of free storage for "documents, videos, photos, Google Docs, PDFs, etc." According to the brief, it's designed to let users "live, work and play in the cloud," with direct integration with Docs and Google+.

We're also told that Drive can be installed on one's Mac, PC or Android phone / tablet, while an iOS version will be "available in the coming weeks." Of note, Google's making this accessible to visually impaired consumers with the use of a screen reader. As for features? Naturally, Google's flexing its search muscles in as many ways as possible; if you scan in a newspaper clipping, a simple Search All within Drive will allow results to appear directly from said clipping. If you upload a shot of the Eiffel Tower, it'll show up whenever you search for the aforesaid icon. Moreover, Drive will allow folks to open over 30 types of documents directly from a web browser, including HD video, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and more -- "even without the software installed on your computer." For those concerned about access, the new platform will have the same infrastructure as any other Google Apps services, giving admins a familiar set of management tools on that end.

On the topic of storage, just 5GB are provided gratis, with 25GB costing $2.49 per month, 100GB running you $4.99 per month and 1TB demanding $49.99 per month, with a maximum of 16TB ($799.99 per month, if you're curious) per user; thankfully, Google Docs will not be included in your usage total. Finally, the note played up the ability to "attach documents directly into your Drive Gmail," and given that it's intended to be an open platform, Goog's promising to work with third party developers in order to enhance Drive's functionality even further. The source link below is still dead as of right now, but it simply can't be long before the lights are officially turned on. Oh, and if you're not enamored at the moment, the outfit's suggesting that "many more developments" will be arriving in the coming weeks.

Update: It's live on the Google Play store, and a pair of explanatory videos are embedded after the break!

Buying Real Estate Foreclosures | Real Estate Management

April 6, 2012 admin Real Estate Management

When searching for a home for you and your family you will come across all kinds of offers, bargains, and so-called values along the way. If price is a very real object for you and your real estate investment then you may seriously want to think about the value of foreclosures. If you are hoping to invest in real estate in order to make a profit then you may also wish to think about these properties that are often offered well below the normal value of the property because they are in varying degrees of disrepair.

Foreclosures are properties that have already been taken back by the financial institutions because the previous owners had been unable to carry on making payments on the property. Being that these houses were frequently owned by individuals in financial distress and may have been empty for some time before being sold, odds are that the repossessed homes being marketed at any given time are in some level of disrepair.

The shabbiness of many of these residences is among the factors that continues to keep the prices down. Another is the fact that the lenders are essentially attempting to recoup their investment in the house. For this reason they are frequently prepared to take less than the value of the house if that?s what?s owed on the house.

Why are these properties frequently in a condition of disrepair? Truthfully, there are many reasons but the main culprit in this situation is money. Obviously the owners of the house had been struggling to make the repayments or the property would not be in the state of foreclosure. If the payments on the house had been hard to start with it makes absolute sense that other problems such as leaking roofs, shabby carpeting, or plumbing repairs would take a distant second in priority to making mortgage payment.

At the same time, you will find individuals who are bitter about loosing their properties. As sad as the situation may be some add insult to injury by damaging these homes intentionally. These homeowners really feel they?ve nothing left to loose and if they can?t have their property wholly then the lenders should not as well. Whilst this is by no means the way to go, you will find a number of people who choose this path over other options.

The fact is that their loss in these scenarios is actually your gain. The damage they do to the property is often not terribly costly to repair though it might be rather bothersome. Your willingness to do the work in order to create a beautiful house for you and your family or as an investment can frequently translate to significant savings at the closing table or when negotiating the cost of the house. House foreclosures can permit families to buy larger houses in better neighborhoods than they would ordinarily be able to afford. They can also offer a good kick-start to a house investment portfolio.

In spite of common claims and Internet ads, you do not need to buy a list in order to locate foreclosed property in your area. You simply have to procure the services of a capable realtor and let him or her be aware that your intentions are to purchase a foreclosed property or another house that is selling well beneath market value. You may be amazed at the wealth of knowledge and assistance your realtor can provide not just in discovering excellent foreclosures but also when it comes to procuring finance for some of the more creatively damaged foreclosures you may come across at crazy bargain prices.

Fujitsu buys out Toshiba's stake in mobile joint venture, division now called Fujitsu Mobile Communications

April 2, 2012: a great day to officially wash your hands of unprofitable business ventures. On the heels of Philips marking its exit from the TV biz, Fujitsu announced it has bought out Toshiba's stake in Fujitsu Toshiba Mobile Communications (just like we knew it would). Fujitsu already had a controlling 80.1 percent interest in the company, so this doesn't exactly mark a seismic change in management. Still, with that final 19.9 percent it's now a fully-owned subsidiary of the Fujitsu Group, and has been rechristened Fujitsu Mobile Communications. We've got the full PR below, but unless you want to know how much capital the division has (450 million yen, to be exact), we think we've got you covered on the facts.
