Microsoft will rename its own cloud storage of "SkyDrive" in "OneDrive". The software giant has been the domain onedrive.com registered and the company has made ​​a promotional video on YouTube online. Microsoft already announced that the name change will soon take place.

Microsoft says to himself: "will continue to operate as you expect and all of your content will be available on OneDrive and OneDrive for Business respectively as the new name is rolled out across the portfolio."

Why the renaming takes place, should any interested reader already be clear. Had Microsoft in Good old England lost a name dispute with British Sky Broadcasting Group (BSkyB), which already called SkyDrive its own service and the longer naming rights were held.

Microsoft is positioning the new name "OneDrive" as a place for documents, photos and other content. "Changing the name of a product as loved as SkyDrive was not easy,"said Microsoft's Ryan Gavin. "We are excited about what is to come , and can not wait to share more. "

It is believed to be the model for the U.S. provider Verizon, which has long been under discussion. As it naturally rises the hope that an LTE model comes to Europe.

The LG G Pad 8.3, with its 8.3-inch WUXGA display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, the high-quality housing and the software features quite a very popular Android tablet. Unfortunately, there is only one version with 16 GB of internal memory, the least you can expand with a memory card, and only WiFi. Thus, one is on the way to rely on his cell phone or foreign networks. With an LTE module you would with the tablet much more independent and could also use apps that are otherwise only meant for smartphones.

Technically likely to basically nothing continue to change. So you still expects a Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor with 1.7 GHz per core, 2 GB RAM, Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and a 5 MP camera on the back. The battery is expected to remain at 4,600 mAh, so the weight is not too high fails and the tablet stays nice and easy.

iPhone 5C offers the most internal memory, Samsung Galaxy S4 far behind

The IT Blog Which? has performed and shown which smartphone operating system the 16 GB class at least and which the most memory occupies a smartphone analysis - without the user. The result: The list is led by Apple's iPhone 5C and completed by Samsung's Galaxy S4.

The leader offers 16 gigabytes of total memory 12.60 GB of free space that is exactly 78.75 percent, the users for their own purposes still remain. Apple's second iPhone, 5S, second with 12.2 gigabytes in third place, after the Google Nexus 5 with 12.28 GB and followed by Sony's Xperia Z1 with 11.43 GB.

Now, one could argue: Even those 78.75 percent of iPhone 5C are not very much, but the device is offered as a 16-GB model. A naive user would wonder why he does not get the promised 16 GB. In other words, the capacity specified in the offer to sell could be interpreted as a deliberate deception.

Rival Samsung, which completes the comparison with absolutely below average result, solves the problem in an almost intelligent way. From the promised 16 GB of Samsung Galaxy S4, the user receives while only slightly more than half (53.5 percent) for free.

In addition to the operating system, the available memory is filled by a variety of more or less useless programs - sometimes also called Samsung "powerful features". That you can equip an Android also space-saving, however, shows the Google Nexus, which is inferior to the iPhone's as good as nothing. ( via )

In addition, colleagues from being Macrumors have heard that Apple is working with the Swiss company Meyer Burger Technologies at Sapphire glass cutting machines.
