Africa, a new Eldorado fashion



December 29, 2012 - Africa, long poor cousin of fashion is trying to catch up. Several major fashion weeks are held on the continent and celebrate African fashion, increasingly dynamic (jeuneafrique.com).

The Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note will receive Android 4.1 Jelly Bean



During his conference Wednesday, August 29, 2012, during which Samsung Galaxy Note 2 formalize particular, we learned that another should please all owners of the Galaxy Note's first name and / or Galaxy S3. In fact, Samsung has announced that the update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean would be available soon for the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note. What?! That's it! Yeah, unfortunately, Samsung did not linger to give more details and I must confess that I find it really sucks! I think this kind of ads must be followed by action or, as you know, the updates to later versions of Android are generally long wait ... wait! Moreover, it is this point that Google and the various manufacturers should greatly improve and take example (prepare your tomatoes!) ... Apple (LANCEZ!) with respect to updates to their OS products.

The acquisition of Facebook by Instagram finally proves to be a great hit!


If you remember, last April, Mark Zucherberg via his Facebook profile, had proudly announced that the social network had reached an agreement for the acquisition of Instagram, the popular photo sharing service, for $ 1 billion dollars. As I had predicted, it was understood that $ 1 billion was to be paid partly in cash and the other actions. This was indeed the case, but certainly not in the best proportions for former owners Instagram. In fact, Facebook is clearly refusing to pay 1 billion cash to Instagram, they had agreed that the billion is paid in cash to the tune of $ 300 million and the balance in shares. But now, since the action of Facebook is constantly collapsing, which ultimately reduces the acquisition of Instagram to less than 1 billion but around 735 million. While it is true that it is always easier to say after this, but according to the New York Times, the founders would be perfectly able to negotiate, and therefore include in the agreement an adjustment is made according to the value of action and not just fix the number of shares.

Well, we do not complain about the former owners of Instagram, but one thing is certain is that the negotiation was conducted masterfully by Facebook.
