iPhone 5 Debut Issue is Scheduled on September 12

Previously, report said that iPhone 5 might launch on September 21, 2012. Currently, additional details have surfaced that make it appear likely that Apple's next-generation iPhone 5 will be revealed as early as September 12 and then later released on Sept.21.



iMore was the first to report that according to reliable, but unnamed sources, Apple is going to hold a special media event on the week of Wednesday September 12. This has since been confirmed by AllthingsD with additional unnamed sources. iMore further states that according to their sources that the iPhone 5 will indeed be showcased at this event 9 days prior to its release date.

Update: Now both Reuters and Bloomberg say they can confirm that Apple is planning to unveil its new smartphone on Sept. 12.

In March, it was noted that Apple was shooting for an October release date, much like last year's iPhone 4S. This has apparently changed.

Earlier reports have possible revealed some of the hardware details, such as a larger screen and 4G LTE.

How to watch the Olympics in HD, 3D and Super Hi-Vision?


The 2012 London Summer Olympic Games are the most-televised Olympic games ever, with every event being televised in high definition, plus selected events in 3D HD and the new Super Hi-Vision format.



No sporting event has received total HD coverage before, but this year BBC viewers can watch up to 24 HD Olympic HD channels, on Freeview, Freesat, Sky, Virgin, online and smart TVs.

This is the first Summer Olympics to be filmed in high definition 3D, and the first to be captured in Super Hi-Vision, the new ultra high definition format with 16 times the detail of today's HD TV.


48 Olympic TV channels

The BBC is broadcasting 28 dedicated TV channels for the Games, with 24 each in standard definition and high definition on Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.
That's in addition to BBC One and BBC Three, which will be chock-a-block with Olympics sports coverage for the next two weeks.
Freeview viewers get just two extra channels of highlights and live events on 301 and 302, because there's nowhere to fit anything more into the crowded airwaves used by Freeview. Channel 301 will also be available in HD for those with Freeview HD receivers.
The extra channels on Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media can be accessed through either the Red Button, or via dedicated channel numbers in each TV platform's onscreen programme guide.
The multi-screen BBC Sport app also carries the entire roster of extra HD channels, and is available on smart TVs and Blu-ray players from Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony (including the Playstation 3).
And finally, the ubiquitous BBC iPlayer has all of the feeds in HD and SD on numerous devices as well as online, as does the BBC Sport website.


2012 Olympics in 3D: BBC and Eurosport

There are both free and pay-TV Olympic events in 3D this year, with more than 100 hours of 3D HD coverage from Eurosport on Sky 3D and Virgin.
BBC HD will have an hour-long daily 3D roundup at 11pm, plus the entire Opening Ceremony on Friday, July 27, from 8.50pm.
The Men's 100m Final will be shown in 3D on Sunday, August 5, at 8.30pm, and the Final day, August 12, will carry a 3D Olympic Games Review from 8pm-9pm, followed by the Olympic Closing Ceremony from 9pm to around 12.30am.
Eurosport on Sky and Virgin adds live events from swimming, basketball, gymnastics, and canoeing in 3D, with about eight hours of live action and four hours of highlights daily.
Sky's coverage will be on Sky 3D, which is free to all Sky subscribers with HD boxes for the duration of the Olympics.
Eurosport 3D launches on Virgin on July 27, and it's also available to any Virgin subscriber with a V HD, V+ HD or TiVo box.


Super Hi-Vision Olympics: the UK’s first look

If you're anywhere near Bradford, Glasgow or London, we would urge you to snap up the last-remaining tickets to the free public Super Hi-Vision screenings from the BBC.
Developed by Japanese state broadcaster NHK, Super Hi-Vision is the last word in 2D film, with a resolution 16 times that of conventional HD.
This ultra HD experience also has stunningly realistic 22.2 surround sound in three dimensions - and for our money, SHV is miles better than 3D, even if you can't watch it at home.
The BBC is holding several free screenings every day of the games, showing highlights from the Opening Ceremony and events at the Olympic Stadium, Velodrome, Aquatic Centre and Basketball Arena.

How to Watch the London 2012 Olympics Live Anytime Anywhere?

The 2012 Olympic Games officially begins on July 27, 2012, I bet you will focus on the games in the following two weeks. But what if you are out and can't access to TV live broadcasting. What about watching the London 2012 Olympics Live with your mobile devices? In the following, here are some tips for viewing video streams on the go without running down your battery.


●Use Wi-Fi, especially if you have a metered plan. Although 4G connectivity will give you a good streaming experience—and most phones with 4G have large, sharp displays—it will burn through your data allowance pretty quickly. Switching over to Wi-Fi saves your data usage.

●Adjust your display's brightness. Take it off Auto, and set it to less than 50 percent brightness, to save your battery from dying too quickly. (And then find a shady place to watch!).

●Download a free battery-monitor app. It can will alert you if you're running out of juice. (Some phones, such as Motorola's latest Android phones, have this function built in.)

●Hold the screen 3 or 4 feet away, to avoid eyestrain. Some phones (such as the HTC Evo 4G) have built-in stands; or you can buy stands for tablets or phones, for not much money. Or go DIY and make your own, from, say, a cheap picture frame.

Once the app is installed, it can notify the latest match status and switch to any game process at will.

During 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, BBC provided 6 extra live broadcast channels and during 2012 London Olympic Games the channels will be four times as the previous one. The total time of the 24 channels will be 2500 hours. And PC, tablet, mobile phone, and TV users can get news the first time.

American TV network NBC and Adobe announced partnership, trying to set up the similar Olympic coverage alliance in the United States. At present the application supports iOS 5.0 or above, Android 2.2 or above.

Windows 8 Access Will be Available by Late October according to Microsoft

Finally Microsoft officials confirmed that Windows 8 on track to be released to manufacturing by the first week of August and to be accessible by late October.



According to the statement of the corporate vice president of Windows, Windows 8 is on track to be released to manufacturing the first week of August, and will be available by late October 2012. The statement is also with a connotation that Windows Server 2012 will be released to manufacturing by the first week of August. But the server bits will not be available to customers until September. 

The business users (volume licensees with Software Assurance) will have access to the final Windows 8 bits "as early as the beginning of August."

The October general availability date has been rumored for months. A late July RTM date for Windows 8 has been rumored for a while. Microsoft has sold 630 million Windows 7 licenses to date, up from 600 million at the beginning of June.

The Windows team's @BuildWindows8 account on Twitter recently repeated that the official guidance was that as of May 31, Microsoft execs had said to expect Microsoft to enter the "final phases" of the RTM process "in about two months," assuming all was seen as progressing well by Microsoft and its partners.

Microsoft officials said in late June that the newly announced Microsoft Surface PC/tablets running Windows RT would be available at the time Windows 8 is generally available. So that means the ARM-based Surfaces will be out by then, one would expect.

Listen up: iPhone and iPad Users Can Get Angry Birds Seasons for Free

To enrich your game life, Apple is giving away this level-packed game for both iPhone and iPad users.



I think you have been waiting for quite a long time, just for this moment, the free release of Angry Birds Seasons.

Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Seasons HD (for iPad) are the iTunes free apps of the week. They're normally priced at 99 cents and $1.99, respectively.

True to its name, Angry Birds Seasons is a theme-oriented spin-off of the original game -- that theme being, well, seasons. Thus you've got level collections ranging from summer and winter to St. Patrick's Day and Halloween.

Rovio updates Seasons on a regular basis, with the game now approaching a whopping 300 levels. All the new themes and levels come free, making for almost unparalleled bang for the buck.

In this case, bang for the click, as no money will change hands unless you make an in-game purchase. (The 99-cent Mighty Eagle, for example, can help you get past a particularly tricky level.)

It's worth noting that these are the full, ad-free versions of Angry Birds Seasons. If you don't yet own the game and want to see what all the fuss is about, this is the freebie for you.
