When Samsung looks at what materials to use, it isn’t just taking into consideration the aesthetic quality of the device, Lee said. The company also assesses how quickly and efficiently it can manufacture the product, knowing that it will have to ship a high volume.

I had a chance to use the new version before it was released today and really liked it. I didn’t figure it would find much on my system, but it cleaned up 6GB of garbage from my computer.
Okay, I want one of these too.
Ferrari, which today unveiled the 1 million euro hybrid model “LaFerrari,” is in talks with Apple about broadening a partnership on in-car entertainment, Di Montezemolo said today at the Geneva motor show. The new four-seater Ferrari model includes mini i-Pads on the passenger seats. Eddy Cue, Apple senior vice president overseeing online services, joined the Ferrari board last year.

The people you follow will be shown in your buddy list. Double clicking one will open a new chat window and start a new private messaging session like you would see on Omega.

You can drag files into the chat window, and they will upload to your account’s App.net file storage and be sent as part of a message.
I haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds interesting.

Okay, so the big news today on the Wall Street Journal is that Samsung is ramping up advertising ahead of a new product launch. That’s it, that’s the story.

Houston called out iCloud’s “bizarre limitations,” saying that no iPhone or iPad user can easily share iCloud documents with an Android device.
I see iCloud and Dropbox as different types of services — maybe they shouldn’t be, but I think they are. There are plenty of things I could say that iCloud does better than Dropbox, but it wouldn’t make sense to do so. Just like this doesn’t make sense in a some ways.

An interesting Tweet from the company’s Twitter account. Obviously raises a lot of questions.
Einhorn’s Greenlight Capital on Friday withdrew the suit it brought against Apple over a proxy proposal that would have allowed shareholders to vote on eliminating preferred stock from the company charter.
I’m glad that’s over.
I mentioned a couple of months ago that one of the big changes coming to The Loop in 2013 was a responsive design, making it easier for people to read the site on mobile devices. That feature went live late last night. […]
Matthew Panzarino gives us one good example of what’s wrong with writer’s these days.
The artist’s attitude reminds me a lot of Jony Ive.
