Samsung Unpacked 2012 teaser, Galaxy owner or iSheep

Samsung’s first teaser containing the countdown has ended and bring in a new teaser video. There are two videos that are presented to welcome the unpacked event to be held May 3 the next. In the event, Samsung is expected to showcase the next Galaxy.Teaser time is also still contains mysteries. Only mention of a new universe, ‘A Whole New Universe’. No additional information can be obtained even though the video is displayed will invite curiosity. In this teaser were also asked about the technology that is considered really smart, which according to Samsung must correspond to one’s life naturally. These features are thought to be indicative of eye tracking, wireless charger, or other functions on the Galaxy S III.

Asked in a second teaser of the Galaxy is mentioned that fits perfectly in hand, the larger the display, and can be explored freely and quickly. In the final part noted that this technology will make a person stand on top of another, symbolized by a flock of sheep.

isheep = A follower of the Apple cult regardless of the usefulness or real worth of the product. Believes with without question the cult propaganda which installs the almost mythological belief that what they have just bought is the fastest or most user friendly product ever, only to be re-sold the same product, with a few minor tweaks, a few months later with the same rhetoric and complete disregard for reality. Easily mislead by their own egos and think they are being unique and innovative.

Samsung begins countdown to Galaxy S3, anagram a start to an online treasure hunt?

A couple of hours ago, Samsung mobile tweeted the following message: “Destination tgeltaayehxnx”. After some thinking it quickly became clear that tgeltaayehxnx is an anagram for “The Next Galaxy”.

When visiting the url tgeltaayehxnx.com you will see a count down timer on it. What could this mean?

Samsung marketing at its best

The last few weeks things have been crazy with daily leaks, rumors, fakes, pictures and information on Samsung’s upcoming phone. However, we still know almost nothing, the only thing we do know is that Samsung will announce “The Next Galaxy” on May 3rth. However, what this “next galaxy” is remains unknown, could it be the Samsung Galaxy S3?

The tweet that stared this all

One thing is sure, with this new website Samsung will create a huge buzz about the next galaxy.

Further investigation

Of course, we didn’t want to wait until tomorrow so we had a look at the source code to see if we could find some hints about what will happen tomorrow. Luckily for us, we found the following directory:

• http://www.tgeltaayehxnx.com/src_pz/

It contains all the files for the website and gives us a clue about what will happen tommorow. By the looks of it, tomorrow we will have to solve another puzzel to get new information. See the following pictures we found hidden on the website:

The Hint button telling you what you will need to do

And the letters that need to be put in the correct order:

A button we have found that will be shown once you have finished the puzzel. We have no idea where the button will take us

Solving the puzzle

We know the goal, and we know the letters, so time to solve the puzzle. Of course this is a piece of cake and the answer of the puzzle is: TheNextGalaxy.

So the logical thing to do was visit thenextgalaxy.com, but our path ended their since the site is locked with a password, for now. It seems logical that when the count down timer ends, the puzzle and the site thenextgalaxy.com will be available to the public.

What we will see there is unknown, but it will probably be more teasing from Samsung. We can’t imagine Samsung to announce an device on this site tomorrow, not with a Samsung unpacked event just around the corner.

What could it be? Perhaps Samsung will show a teaser video on the website, similar to what they did with the release of the Samsung Galaxy S2. Let’s hope it won’t be another puzzle and this time some real and valuable information!

What do you think will be visible on that website? Let us know in the comments!

Oh, How Pinteresting!: Addressing Spam on Pinterest

Addressing Spam on Pinterest

As Pinterest grows, spammers have also grown within our community. While the technology we use to detect spam becomes more advanced each day, we want Pinners to know what to do in case you come across suspicious content or links while browsing Pinterest.

First: What is spam and how can you report it?

Similar to spam emails that have plagued Internet users for years, it’s possible that you’ll encounter spam while using Pinterest. In most cases, spam accounts on Pinterest create pins with misleading links and follow many people in hopes that you’ll visit their boards.

You don’t need to be concerned if a spam account follows you on Pinterest, but you should definitely feel empowered to let us know about it.

Report one or more of their pins using the Report Pin button. Just click on any pin to view it in full-size. Then, on the right-hand side of the pinned image, you’ll see the Report Pin button which will open a menu to choose your type of report.

Reporting a pin helps everyone by removing the pin from public feeds. A reported pin also gives us information about the suspicious account and the spam links they’re trying to promote.

Second: How can you protect your account?

There are many online spam tactics, but following general Internet-safety practices will go a long way:

• If you click on a link and the resulting page isn’t what you expect, return to Pinterest.com.
• Don’t click on a pin that promotes a free giveaway or looks like an advertisement. Pinterest doesn’t have any advertising and we don’t post surveys, giveaways, or other promotions. If an offer seems too good to be true, it’s very likely spam.
• Pinterest will only ask for your login and password details on Pinterest.com or on our official iPhone app. Don’t log in on other websites or on other apps.
• Pinterest.com is the only Pinterest website; other addresses containing the name “Pinterest” are not legitimate.
• Avoid interacting with accounts where their pins do not link to relevant content or their pins all link to the same source.
• You should choose unique, difficult-to-guess passwords for all of your online accounts, and you should update them regularly. Don’t reuse passwords across websites. If you’re ever concerned about your account, create a new password.

Don’t Bother with Instagram; Here are Five Better Alternatives for Android

I’ll come right out and say it: I’m not a big fan of Instagram. And no, it’s not because iOS users have had their underpants in a wad over the Android release, but because for me, it really doesn’t live up to the hype. Here’s why, and more importantly, here are some just-as-good alternatives for Android users (and some for iOS users too!) who want to take and share photos with or without those filters that make a 5-megapixel cell phone camera look like a 70s Polaroid.

Why I Have No Love for Instagram

Here’s the thing—putting aside the fact that some very vocal iOS users are very upset that their precious app has descended to the likes of Android users (let’s be clear, some iOS users, not all – most people understand that the device you use, OS you prefer, or browser you surf with is not who you are) and the social commentary the whole depressing fiasco gives us, the truth is that while Instagram has great hype, slick sex appeal, and a bolted-on social aspect, it doesn’t do anything that a half-dozen other apps for iOS and Android don’t do. In fact, some of those Android apps do it just as well or better.

Instagram’s real appeal is the closed nature of its product—the fact that it’s walled off by default, with no open browsing of user photos by just anyone, and before its Android release, built a brand off of being iPhone only, private, and that thing that a select few used to take photos on their phone and then, for fear that no one would see it, pushed it over to Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Flickr, or anywhere else that people actually hang out. Aside from design and marketing, there’s little that makes the app special to this writer. (Your view may differ, and if so, that’s cool. You should use Instagram!)

That said, it’s good at what it does, the product is sound, it’s the aura around it that’s misplaced. That and the fact that it’s been dangled in front of Android users for far too long only to culminate in an arguably unfinished version (no tilt-shift? really?) when it was teased as “in some ways, it’s better than our iOS app,” according to one of the app’s founders. Combine the aura that and the fact that so many iOS users don’t want you playing in their sandbox anyway and it’s worth looking at some alternatives.

Samsung to held Galaxy S3 Launch event on 22nd May in London

The Samsung Galaxy S3 has undoubtedly become one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2012, and is sure to be a heavy competitor to Apple’s next iPhone 5. While the Korea-based company has not yet officially announced the launch, a leaked press invite for their London event may have revealed the date. The invite, which has appeared on a number of Korean websites, claims the smartphone will be unveiled at a special event in London on May 22

A slender, brushed metal phone is pictured beneath the slogan ‘Fast. Vivid. Slim’, strongly implying a sleek new design for the latest Galaxy.

When finally released, the Galaxy S3 will run Android 4.0 – also known as Ice Cream Sandwich – and it will come with a new 12 mega-pixel back-facing camera, according to the chief editor of Mobile-review Eldar Murtazin.  According to other reports, the Galaxy S3 will feature a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED Plus HD (720×1280) screen and a quad-core processor and LTE capabilities. Separate reports at the end of last year claimed the new phone may also be ‘outfitted with 3D technology’.

Its predecessor, the S2, was deemed by many to be the best smartphone of 2011 so the S3 certainly has a lot to live up to.
