Samsung Galaxy S5 may sport fingerprint sensor

By



Samsung thinks the Touch ID feature in the iPhone 5S is a pretty nifty idea worth including in its upcoming Galaxy S5, if a note from a Chinese analyst with a pretty solid track record of predicting upcoming smartphone features (including Touch ID) turns out to be accurate.
An analyst predicts that the Galaxy S5 will have a fingerprint sensor to compete with Apple's Touch ID.
KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is predicting that the Galaxy S5 will also debut with a fingerprint sensor, according to a research note obtained by AppleInsider.
"Fingerprint is necessary for a star model," Kuo writes. "Even (if it) is not as mature as the iPhone 5S's."

Kuo believes that Samsung feels pressure from both the iPhone 5S and the fingerprint-reading HTC One Max to include the feature. This is interesting, considering that a Samsung executive mentioned that the company was looking at iris-scanning security technology earlier this month.
Kuo does not see Samsung trying to match Appe's 64-bit processors, however, predicting that Galaxy S5 models will use 32-bit hardware from Qualcomm or Exynos instead. He also backs up the rumors we've been hearing about a standard and premium edition of the Galaxy S5, but mentions nothing of the possibility that one could come with a metal body as other reports have mentioned.
Plastic cases aside, given the Korean company's habit of trying to be all things to all customers in offering its devices in a wide array of shapes, sizes, and models, perhaps Galaxy S5 owners will have the opportunity to chose between a phone that knows you by the soft touch of a finger or by staring deeply into your eyes. Or maybe the Galaxy S5 will just go the distance and make Scarlett Johansson a part of TouchWiz.

Now crate some Application Packages with Dockers

By
Ever seen those huge and conspicuous containers at shipyard which are capable of storing lots of materials and junk ready to be exported,imported and transferred. As the world is racing towards the digitalization, even the concept of Dockers have been digitalized. Learning about contemporary  Docker is, it allows to us to combine an application with all of its necessary dependent data into a standardized unit for development of software code. Simply speaking, Dockers work just like containers wrapping up a piece of application code in complete file system that contains everything which are required to support at execution level: code, system tools, system libraries , runtime utilities, GUI files – however, accessibility is a remote-level picture. This guarantees that it will always run the same, regardless of the environment it is running in. As we talk about Docker, we are looking at bigger picture. With remote level availability, these units are definitely everyone’s cho...

IBM LinuxONE : Execute everything with Linux Mainframe!

By
IBM on 17th August 2015 announced the launch of IBM LinuxONE Enterprise level which runs on Linux.  As we all know, Linux is known for its security and high-end flexibility, the latest one’s will definitely be cynosure.  The server variants includes LinuxONE Emperor for large enterprises and Rock hopper for mid-size businesses. LinuxONE Rockhopper can efficiently support small scale infrastructure at lower costs. IBM Mainframe is designed in a subtle way, with a capability of handling 8,000 virtual machines, and millions of active users it would be simply Uber. To be more specific, LinuxONE is capable enough to handle 30 Billions RESTful Web transactions per day.       Now, what is a RESTful transaction??! . While REST means Representational State Transfer, this is an architectural style for hypermedia networked application design; it mainly is used to build modern day web services which make things easy, with their ...
