CNET: Verizon Buys Intel Internet TV; Windows 7 Is Hanging in There; New Apple iPhones in June


Verizon reaches a deal with the chipmaker, Amazon may ship items before you even order them, and HP brings back Windows 7.

Intel's Internet TV service box has been purchased by Verizon for FiOS.

Windows 8 has a lot of criticism, and that's why Windows 7 is still around, and is even being promoted to increase PC sales market share.

New screen sizes of 4.7 inches and 5.7 inches may be coming in June 2014 for the Apple iPhone.

The two new iPhones are expected to be revealed at Apple's annual annual developer conference, held in San Francisco in June 2014. The iPhones are expected be available shortly after they're introduced.

Chinese analyst Sun Changxu told Chinese-language website QQ Tech that Apple will launch the follow up to its flagship smartphone in two large screen sizes.

TV Summary from CES: Quick Look at TV Progress


UHD TV Overview - CES 2014.

While 4K has been the big thing for a while, there were already 5K and 8K models already on display at CES 2014. 4K can be streamed 15 MB/s or faster.

Bottom line? Displays are beautiful, but manufacturers have not improved the software for controlling televisions. Hopefully, 2015 will be the year of the User Interface for televisions.

Panasonic? Bad user interface.
Samsung? Unintuitive
Sharp? Content is priority.
LG? Good work on the OS and User Interface ... See bottom video (below) ...

Many tech gurus recommend just getting a regular flat panel TV with a beautiful display, and adding Apple TV or ROKU.

All Things Digital (All Things D) Closes Down; Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher Launch New Tech Site "Re/code'

All Things Digital which began on April 2007 is finished.

All Things Digital was founded as an extension of the D: All Things Digital conference in 2007 by Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg.

AllThingsD.com focused on news, analysis and opinion on technology, the Internet and media, but considered itself a fusion of diverse media styles, different topics, formats and sources.

A new website Re/Code or recode.net represents a rebirth of Mossberg and Swisher with the expressed goal of smart, fair, and independent tech journalism.


Walt Mossberg, 66, has been a reporter and editor at the Journal since 1970. His Personal Technology column has appeared in that newspaper every Thursday since 1991.

Kara Swisher, 51, (pictured) is joined the paper in 1997, covering Silicon Valley from the Journal's San Francisco bureau, eventually penning the Boomtown section about the region.

FLIR ONE Places a Thermal Image Camera on an Apple iPhone 5 Case, Android Coming


FLIR ONE is the world's first private thermal imager, and slides right onto an Apple iPhone 5 or Apple iPhone 5s.

FLIR ONE(TM), is the first consumer-oriented thermal imaging system, which will be available as an Apple iPhone case for about $350. Introduced today at CES 2014, FLIR ONE places the power of thermal imaging technology into the palm of the consumer via an easy-to-use smartphone accessory case.

FLIR ONE attaches to any Apple iPhone 5 or 5s smartphone and displays a live thermal image on the phone's screen, giving users the unprecedented ability to see the world in a way the naked eye cannot, including in complete darkness. With a targeted MSRP of $349, FLIR ONE senses heat rather than light utilizing FLIR's revolutionary new Lepton(TM) camera core. This camera core incorporates the same FLIR(R) thermal imaging technology that is used in security, public safety, energy efficiency, nighttime navigation, industrial production, preventive maintenance, and the enjoyment of the outdoors.

Users of FLIR ONE (TM) can detect intruders in total darkness, find a lost pet, or see through smoke in an emergency using a FLIR ONE.

Also, homeowners and contractors with a FLIR ONE can easily identify heat or cooling leaks in buildings, find studs in walls, or locate water damage. An outdoor enthusiast can observe wildlife, day or night, navigate in the dark, determine if the day's catch is fully cooked, or make sure a campfire is out by using FLIR ONE.
"FLIR ONE represents a dramatic step in our pursuit of 'infrared everywhere.' As the first truly consumer focused thermal imager, FLIR ONE introduces thermal imaging technology to a completely new group of customers than we currently serve."

-- Andy Teich, President and CEO of FLIR


Think of the possibilities, too. Connecting your FLIR enabled iPhone to a large LED or OLED display.

FLIR took its name from the acronym for forward-looking infrared imaging systems, and is best known for imaging technology in defense, security, and law enforcement. FLIR's largest division, Government Systems, sells products to a variety of government agencies, including police and military, with products ranging from weapon sights to perimeter surveillance systems to low light cameras to laser illuminators. FLIR K-Series fire protection cameras are used to detect combustibles and hotspots, and victims in low visibility areas.

  FLIR: "New FLIR K-Series thermal imaging cameras combine superior visibility, easier operation, and more effective imaging with incredible affordability."
