HTC Vive Pre adds mixed reality-like capabilities
A front facing camera and "Chaperone mode" in HTC Vive Pre helps solve the problem of environment awareness, one of the big challenges of VR.  Although this reduces the gap between virtual reality and mixed reality, it still falls short of the Microsoft HoloLens which is a completely self-contained, untethered computer that can integrate virtual objects into your real world using surface reconstruction to understand your physical environment.

Good News from Apple and HTC
Apple and HTC, it's just been reported tonight, have decided to stop fighting. The two companies, according to Reuters, announced "a global patent settlement and 10-year license agreement that includes current and future patents held by the companies." Ideally, this is just the first step and we'll soon see similar announcements from Apple & Samsung and Apple & Motorola. Apple, as I wrote a few months ago, in a column called "Sue Different," is  almost as good at filing lawsuits as it is at inventing new products.
Right now, one of the biggest drags on technological innovation is the patent system. Companies spend resources suing each other instead of building things; and uncertainty hangs over every invention. Dream up something new, and you still have to worry that you'll be hit by a patent suit. Since patents in technology are so hard to define—even the people who write them sometimes have no idea what they mean—the whole system becomes confused. 
There are lots of players involved in creating this muck, and lots of players who'll need to clean it up. We need to get rid of patent trolls; the US PTO needs some revamping; Congress needs to pass new laws; and the large corporations need to enter into massive cross-licensing agreements. We don't know the details yet, but this deal seems to be a very good first step. Let's hope there's more to come.

HTC One A9 Product Ambassador – BlinkFeed, or how I became more of a social media junky.

With the last HTC phone I had (the E8) I didn’t set up BlinkFeed (the vertical scrolling list of updates/headlines from several different sources). It is like an online party with all of your social media sites in the same room. At the time I didn’t see the need for me to have it set up, and I also didn’t think I was too lazybusy to check my sites myself. As it is I only get certain Facebook notifications (events, messages etc) right away. Most of the “likes” and such I only will see if I open up the application. I don’t need to be that connected, right?
I have set up BlinkFeed on the A9, and although it has taken a few tweaks to get used to – it is now the feature I check most often on my phone. It is neat to see what the application thinks I would find interesting – and it shows different things from the news feeds in the actual tools.
BlinkFeed has a real variety or services and app’s that it can provide for your feed: News, Facebook, Flickr, Foursquare, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, Mealtime recommendations, Tumblr and Twitter.







At first I had all of them selected (well I am not on Flickr or Tumblr) – but even all of the rest just seemed way too chaotic for me. I have since simplified and now just have Facebook, LinkedIn and Google +.  I have the Chicago Tribune application for my news (it’s more local). And as for Instagram and FourSquare – I didn’t see the need to have “food envy” all day long.
Do I get all the updates that I need? No. Do I get updates that I would have missed? Yes (and maybe that is because I am checking the BlinkFeed more than I would have checked the individual applications, but who knows).  I am still playing with the different settings (The Tips and Help section in the settings is very helpful) and finding things I wouldn’t even have thought of!








Do you use BlinkFeed? What do you think?

HTC takes inspiration from Apple's '1984' to promote 'be different'.

HTC takes inspiration from Apple's '1984' to promote 'be different'.

Either a very bold move with the aim to garner earned media, or a misguided marketing strategy.
HTC has launched a campaign that seemingly parodies '1984', one of Apple's most iconic TV commercials, to 'be different', by promoting a phone that is regarded by industry experts as very similar to the iphone 6. 
The anti-Apple narrative is pretty obvious in the film; the protagonist is seen smashing a bowl full of pearl-white apples while automats, similar to those in '1984', look astonished. 
If HTC is embracing the irony and poking fun at itself then jolly good show. Let's hope that is the case and that it is a calculated risk too.

Stealing Fingerprints from HTC Phones

Stealing Fingerprints from HTC Phones

Biometrics are generally thought to be very secure, which is why many phones now let you use your fingerprints to authorize things from unlocking phones to making purchases.   Researchers have found, however, that it's pretty easy to get that information from the HTC One Max.

The problem is that the HTC One Max stores fingerprint images as a bitmap: dbgraw.bmp, in a folder with completely open "world readable" permissions.  This means any app or process is able to see the fingerprint file.  One way a hacker could use this is to create a fake lock screen that the user will open using their fingerprint.  Instead of unlocking the phone though, it would really be a way to make them unwittingly authorize a transfer of money.

A thief could also use this vulnerability to hack a phone and upload their fingerprint as the authorized fingerprint, although that's a much less likely scenario, given that they would have to have physical access to the phone, which carries a greater risk than remote hacking.

The best thing to do to avoid this is to make sure you apply updates to your phone as soon as possible, as they will surely want to rectify this security hazard as soon as they can.  You could also switch to a customer operating system like CynaogenMod.

On having done this, you will receive a code from the website which shall be used to unlock your HTC One M8. This process does not affect the hardware or the warranty in any manner and there is consistency in performance of your HTC One (M8).

Points to Consider

Top Smartphone of Mobile Plateau

When the iPhone 5s came out, I wanted to love it, to be enamored by its advancements. I really did, but despite my desire to yearn for it, the longing and admiration just wasn't there. The iPhone 5s is a fine phone, but the level of improvements over the iPhone 4S just were not enough to convince me to immediately upgrade. There were some niceties such as the addition of LTE and Touch ID, but those still weren't enough. Much of the low hanging fruit had already been plucked, and the yearly advancements in mobile technologies were tapering off.

Eager to find something fresh, my gaze extend outside of the Apple ecosphere. Many Android phones are slabs of poorly designed plastic, lacking the level of precision and quality which I was accustomed to with Apple products. One product which did catch my eye was the 2013 edition of the HTC One (M7).

I've used two versions of the M7, a silver Google Play edition and a metallic blue Verizon version. Externally, the phones are nearly identical except for the coloring and the addition of a carrier logo on the Verizon phone. The phone is a good size (quite a bit larger than the iPhone 4S), and feels very solid. However, one thing I missed about iOS was having a Home button to wake up the phone. Otherwise, the build quality is excellent.

The Google Play edition resolved one of Android's biggest hurdles by being able to upgrade to the latest version of KitKat (Android 4.4), whereas the Verizon version was restricted to version 4.2.2, with no word that Verizon has any plans on updating the software on the phone. The only work around to get future versions of Android looks like to root the device and upgrade it manually. This may not be the worst idea, since the Verizon M7 comes cluttered with a bunch of their carrier-branded crapware (which can't be manually uninstalled, either), so wiping the device and upgrading might be a worthwhile endeavor. I used these phones as testing devices (no SIM cards), which need to be put into Airplane Mode to get them to work properly with Wi-Fi. On the software front, getting the Google Play version of a device is certainly the way to go. No corporate branding, no unwanted crapware, and an easy upgrade path.

In September 2014, Apple announced the yearly update to the iPhone line: the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The iPhone 6 was Apple phone I was hoping for that would impress me again and make upgrading worthwhile. After using my trusty workhorse of an iPhone 4S for three years, trading up to the iPhone 6 came with numerous perks.


  • Larger 4.7" screen for easier typing and reading
  • 128 GB of storage
  • NFC for Apple Pay
  • Touch ID
  • LTE networking

General hardware improvements in the camera, speed, memory
The iPhone 6 line builds upon its predecessors, so some of these features had already been around for a year or few, but the larger screen size and expanded storage space were great additions. The 3.5" screen on the first several iterations of the iPhone looked astounding in comparison to the bevy of phones it supplanted, but it began to look diminutive in comparison to some of the newer Android phones, such as the HTC One's gorgeous 4.7" screen.

The iPhone 6 is an amazing device, one which I hope to be using well into 2017. The two year cycle of replacing phones might become more a thing of the past as the hardware and software improves to a point where these devices' lifespans can reach out to 3+ years (barring the usual accidents). Personal computers in the 1980s had a life expectancy of around three years before they became too antiquated to run the latest software. The computers built in the 21st century have reached a point where they can easily reach 5, 7, or more years of use. The youngest of the three Macs I use regularly at home is 8 and the oldest is now a dozen years in age.

Google's and Apple's developer conferences, Google I/O and WWDC respectively, are used as the platforms to announce their latest advancements and things to look forward to in the coming year. Normally these conferences bring about some interesting changes, especially in the realm of mobile technologies, but 2015 was quite the bust for both conferences. Aside from the Google Photos service, Google I/O elicited not much more than a yawn from me. I was hoping that WWDC would hold more promise.

The potential was there, but it was not met. Aside from the now yearly upgrades to OS X and iOS, there was the introduction of Apple Music, which was only marginally more interesting to me than Google Photos. For the past three years I've been hoping for an upgrade to the Apple TV that would be amazing enough that it would finally convince the rest of my family to cut the TV cable. No announcement yet, but there is always hope that something like this is in the works.

The iPhone in 2007 heralded the beginning of the current generation of smart phones, turning a device with twelve buttons into an amazing computer that fits into your pocket. The biggest shortcomings have been addressed and now Google and Apple are grasping to find interesting and important problems to tackle in the mobile space. We have reached a plateau in this space, where the annual leaps in technology are no longer being met. This is a lull in the storm for the time being, but things will eventually be churned up again, bringing about the next set of technological advancements, whether that is in mobile or another area altogether.

That’s according the press release of HTC, as of today 15.06.2015 see: http://investors.htc.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=148697&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2059059

“We strongly deny the news. We didn’t contact Asusteck and will not consider the acquisition. As an international brand, HTC will continue to design world-class innovative smart devices through its pursuit of brilliance brand promise.”

That’s in response to last Friday statement of the Austeck Computer Inc. (Asus) chairman Jonney Shih, that even though no formal evaluation has been made, he will not rule out a possible acquisition of the phone-maker HTC. Both companies are Taiwanese and strategically a possible merger could streamline the tough competition on the ever growing smart-phone market, as speculated on behalf of Asus. The latter is a niche where the firm has been trying to enter. Currently ( Q1 2015) the product mix of the firm (ASUS) consists of PC 67%, Mobile 16% (mobile phones and equipment), Components 14%; IOT 3%, as geographically the biggest market is Asia 52% followed by Europe 28% and Americas 20%. The firm was established in 2nd of April 1990, but has only recently entered the mobile phones business. Despite that the company is planning to ship 17 million phones this year, aiming expansion in all of the three major market-segments ( see. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2935312/asuss-shih-leaves-the-door-open-to-looking-at-htc-acquisition.html ). Further more according to the Asus business perspective (Q1 2015) the company plans its Mobile revenue to surpass that of PC’s in 2018, which sounds really ambitious. As of 31.12.2014 (1 €=38,3176 TWD) the company’s financial performance amounts for turnover of around 11,4 bn €, gross margin of around 13% and net income of around 0,5 bn €. The total balance sheet amonts for some 8,7 bn € as the cash and cash equivalent at the end of the year was about 1,9 bn €.

On the other hand HTC has been struggling with declines in both market share and profitability among the tough competition of its rivals including Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo, Xiaomi and so. On its turn the company (HTC) was founded in 1997 and ever since its product mix has been streamlined around smartphones and their accessories and support. Searching for growth lately the company is also testing new product lines. As HTC announces it since October 2014 it entered a new product category named HTC RETM – which stands for innovative camera and then at the Mobile World Congress 2015 the company introduced HTC GRIPTM- which stands for new performance fitness band and HTC ViveTM- which stands for the World’s most advanced virtual reality system, as the company announces it. And just for a quick glance the current (31.12.2014) consolidated financial performance of HTC stands for turnover of some 4,9 bn€ with gross margin of around 21,7% and net profit of some 0,04 bn € (vs loss of 0.03 bn € for 2013). The total balance sheet is around 4,3 bn €.
