Rooting an Android device has many advantages, including the ability to remove some of the pre-installed bloatware, add new features, and do much more. Samsung has been pretty liberal about the whole root thing, which makes its devices some of the easiest to root — after the Nexus series from Google.
Here is a detailed step-by-step guide on how to root the international Galaxy S III (I9300) from using a Windows-based PC.
You know about Magnetyze, right? It’s a system that lets you charge an iPhone 4/S or Galaxy S3 without the need for a cord. Pop your iPhone into the provided case, then drop the case on the magnetic charging base and your iPhone will charge (and sync) — it works kind of like the MagSafe power adapter on a MacBook. It’s really cool on the S3, because the Magnetyze case replaces the S3’s original back, so there’s almost zero extra bulk. Neat.
Woz loves Android even though he co-founded Apple
Steve Wozniak says the darnest things. Even though he’s the co-founder of Apple, and was one of Steve Jobs’ best friends, he’s not afraid to say what’s on his mind when he’s thinking something negative about Apple.
In a recent interview with the German newspaper Wirtschafts Woche, Woz says that even though Apple’s fans are very loyal, the iPhone is starting to fall behind the competition.
Looks like Samsung has “unpacked” a little early and let the cat out of the bag regarding what processor will be powering their “Next Galaxy” device. In an official announcement, Samsung has unveiled the new Exynos 4 Quad processor along with the fact that the “Next Galaxy” will be the first to be fitted with the chip. Samsung is boasting double the processing power at a 20 percent lower power bill over its predecessor, the 45nm process based Exynos 4 Dual. That claim, while impressive, is backed by its 32nm HKMG low-power process and power-saving design, hot-plug functionality for on-off switching of cores, full HD 30 frame per second video hardware codec engine, embedded image signal processor interface and HDMI 1.4 interface (whew).
