McApata: 21st Century Informania Arena

Here is my bit on this. 1. The biggest edge is the fact that Apple only caters to a particular class. There is not a lot of variety regarding the segment it covers. Samsung, on the other hand, is everyone’s brand, not just for the elite. 2. The company believes in producing large volumes of phones which keeps its costs low and helps retain profit margins. 3. Despite the fact that Apple has led the smartphone industry. It was Samsung which imitated many of the innovative features and made them available to low-cost smartphones. https://www.quora.com/What-does-Samsung-do-that-Apple-can-never-achieve/answer/Aslam-Chaudhry-4?share=c249421e&srid=3gMPC

Often unfairly. I’m not Nigerian, nor am I of Nigerian descent (that I know of), but I have worked for a number of large entities in Nigeria and I regularly advise Nigerian (and other African) bank boards—so I have a perspective on views of them by others. My general sense is that other Africans look at the fringe of Nigerians that raise the eyebrows with their behavior due to scams or big man-type corruption scandals, and extrapolate from these tail events in forming views about the entire nation. Perhaps I feel I can relate to this sort of unfair stereotyping. As an African-American, I know far more Black people with resumes nearing that of President Obama’s than people with resumes like Biggy Smalls’s—but the world seems to think quite the opposite. This is characteristic, by the way, of a common set of cognitive biases. We don’t do statistics well mentally—even if we are statisticians. In particular, we overestimate the likelihood of rare events and underestimate the probabilit...

Samsung is already hard at work on its upcoming Galaxy S9 smartphone, which is rumored to be launched early next year (earlier than previous releases). Here are the few details we know so far: According to reports, the Galaxy S9 will come with a 5.8-inch display, and a larger Galaxy S9+ should deliver a 6.2-inch screen. Its design won't change all that much, reports say, but it will be more powerful, thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip it's expected to deliver. And unlike the Galaxy S8, the Galaxy S9 could sport a virtual fingerprint sensor. It'll have the new powerful Snapdragon 845 chipset powering things but it will stick with 4GB of RAM, rather than 6GB as other modern smartphones. What Features Should We Expect from the Galaxy S9? * Modular Design * Insanely Powerful Processor * Embedded Fingerprint Sensor * Dual Lens Camera * Infinity Display More details later...

Following last week's issuance of quit notice to North Korean ambassador by Qatar, Spain on Monday ordered North Korea’s ambassador to leave the country by September 30 in protest over Pyongyang’s nuclear tests, which it has criticised as “a serious threat to peace”. “Today, the ambassador of North Korea DPRK in Spain has been declared persona non grata,” the foreign ministry said on its English twitter account. The ministry added on its Spanish account that the ambassador has until the end of the month to leave the country. In late August, Spain had warned that Pyongyang’s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes “create a serious threat to peace in the region and to global security,” saying they “would have consequences on bilateral relations”. This latest move by Spain followed decisions from both Peru and Mexico to expel the North Korean ambassador on their territory. The continuous test firing of NK nuclear capable ballistic missiles has renewed sanctions from the UN Secur...
