new name for a new start. By storing in the closet Internet Explorer, Microsoft starts with a clean sheet for the Windows browser 10. On Wednesday, the company revealed the official name of its “Project Spartan”: this will be Microsoft Edge. And beta (still under the name Spartan, for now), delivered with the new preview version of Windows 10 on Thursday, appears promising.
A modern look
joined Edge minimalism of Chrome and Safari. The design is very “flat” and fades to put the Web page forward. Launch, load … Everything is fast and it becomes hard to tell the difference between browsers when they have been installed. Afterwards, they all tend to slow down, particularly because of extensions (eh, Chrome), and it will see how Edge behaves in the long run.
The practice play mode
It already existed in Safari with a single click, Edge can extract the main section of a page to read an eBook much like without pollution pubs and menus. We particularly appreciate the on tablet and smartphone. Not to kill advertising revenue, the button is not active once the page is fully loaded for the first time.
Annotate the Web on the fly
You work on a project to several? Edge to annotate a Web page directly. Either with a text note on the side or by scribbling with the mouse or finger on a touch screen. The result can then be shared directly into OneNote software, or sent (email, tweet) as an image.
Extensions come
For now, they are not not there yet but real extensions, like Chrome or Firefox, will be incorporated in the final version by summer. With the same logic as its universal apps, Microsoft promises that the code will be easy to wear for Windows.
And for companies?
Edge does not share any code with Internet Explorer to look to the future and embrace the modern web standards. Companies can, however, install IE11 on Windows 10, to facilitate their transition. History of turning the page smoothly
Paul Thurrott yesterday announced before the opening of the conference Build 2015: Microsoft will open up to Android and iOS applications. The publisher has actually made announcements on this, but the reality is somewhat more complex. Not here Android compatibility as implemented by BlackBerry.
So, otherwise, users will not be able to automatically execute apps from the Android universe on terminals under Windows 10. The idea is rather to allow developers to more easily carry their software on the Microsoft environment.
From the software emulation, but not that
As the result of our brothers and ZDNet.com The Register, the principle returns to “reuse” code rather than “run”. The developers have designed for Android apps? Microsoft will provide a way to reuse their Java and C ++ code.
But the company also wishes to adapt their applications to use the specifics of its platform. Developers therefore have much to go through the design of extensions to the original code.
“To make this possible, Windows phones include Android subsystem”. The code name of this subsystem: Project Astoria. For now, the publisher did not provide technical details, but the Build conference is after all not complete.
So it is not known what Android APIs will be supported. Presumably the APK file will actually work without having to go through the source code changes. Moreover, with Astoria, Microsoft will provide Java developers to exploit what Windows API.
The purpose, anyway, is not to make Windows a distributor Android applications. Microsoft first tries to streamline developments to encourage publishers, when designing an application to run on both Android and Windows.
for Windows iOS apps, Web, Win32 and .Net
And for iOS apps, the concept remains the same. The Astoria for the Apple environment, the project according to Paul Thurrott Islandwood. During the keynote, Terry Myerson Microsoft has explained that Objective-C compiler for Windows Studio was designed. It is available for download from April 29.
The development tools should allow to import XCode projects in Visual Studio to convert universal iOS applications in Windows apps. Again, this is for the firm to provide developers something to make life easier and thus encourage them to think more easily to Windows.
Microsoft has no intention of focus exclusively on developers of mobile apps though. Web developers and software classics have their place in the strategy of the publisher.
For example, .Net and Win32 software can enter the Windows Store. Microsoft will use this to its App-V technology. “With Apple, you choose to invest in iOS or Mac OS. With Google, you choose to invest in Android or Chrome OS. Windows is the only ecosystem that allows you to effectively carry your applications on all terminals” boasts the OS boss at Microsoft, Terry Myerson

Private propulsion, unable to send or receive data, the Russian space cargo Progress , which unsuccessfully tried to resupply the space station International (ISS) on April 28 began an inexorable fall to Earth.
Currently, seven tons of the ship unmanned are still in orbit around the Earth at an altitude of between 190 and 250 kilometers from our soil. It performs, out of control, some 16 laps around the earth daily. Due to the rotation of our planet, it is regularly above every region of the world except the poles.
Can we “fall on head “?
” It goes down slowly spiral because of the drag from the thin air at this altitude layer “ says Holger Krag, service space debris the European Space Agency. When it is “120 km altitude, the brake will be stronger this time and it will be a real fall” . When he is down about 80 kilometers, it will be almost the end. The vertical fall will last less than ten minutes
From this moment, it will be possible to see traces of light if the sky is clear. But “This is very different from meteorites” says Mr. Krag. “These are much more compact and are three times faster. They do not disintegrate completely before touching ground from which they create craters on the surface. Debris Progress will, themselves, a slower speed when they arrived. “
The disintegration of Progress will be such that few large pieces reach the surface of Earth, also covered by oceans 80%. It is also impossible to predict the timing of this event, which is expected to occur in about a week.
“It should be understood that all space objects ” fall “. But their speed is such that they make laps around the Earth. If you cast a pebble quickly enough, it will fall while returning in your hand after a tour “, adds Lionel Suchet, deputy director of the National Centre for Space Studies (CNES) in Toulouse. “Even the International Space Station ” grave “ and must enhance the regularly. “
A difficult to predict disintegration
These atmospheric flows are not uncommon. ” At CNES, we monitor a dozen returnees uncontrolled year “, says Mr. Suchet. “The novelty here is that it’s a big subject of some seven tons. This is about 10% [mass] of annual global revenue “, for its part Holger Krag.
” In a comeback controlled, we strongly putting a brake the ship to penetrate with a steep slope into the atmosphere and be as specific as possible to the point of contact. The South Pacific is usually the place we seek “, said Lionel Suchet. ” We achieve a strip 50 kilometers wide but can be many thousands of kilometers long. There are uncertainties in the state of the atmosphere, “, complete the specialist. In the case of Progress , so it is impossible to know when and how will this autumn.
The various sites giving the trajectories of various satellites, including Progress , are reliable for the moment because the braking is low. “ But their updates by radar data are less common than we have. So we can quickly correct the path and estimates “ says Lionel Suchet. The general public will have trouble following this live reentry.
No worries for life in the ISS
The reasons for the failure of this mission are not yet known. Impossible to say if this is the pitcher who has failed, or if it is the time of separation that problems arose; even if the cargo itself has had failures. Whatever the origin of the malfunction, contact and control have indeed been lost. And Progress is running abnormally on itself in five seconds.
As for the effects on life on board the international space station, there is little concern for Nothing. The six occupants of the ISS continued their experiences as if nothing had happened. Their reserves of oxygen, food and fuel are sufficient to hold at least until the summer. By then, the Dragon capsule to be launched on 19 June, should have fulfilled its mission.
In the worst case, nobody evokes the ISS occupants could evacuate the station using the Soyuz capsules docked to the station. These have heat shields avoiding disintegration by the dense atmosphere.
From our special correspondent in San Francisco – “Microsoft was founded by two developers” exclaims Satya Nadella on stage as soon as you sound ultra-low frequencies that accompanied the arrival of CEO for the opening of the annual conference of Microsoft, reserved for the developers.
5000 developers and over 200 journalists were present to understand strategies OS, Microsoft Office and Cloud, announced by Satya Nadella. (Source: ZDnet.fr)
5,000 of them had paid 2,500 dollars to be present Moscon Center in San Francisco, center Conference also used by the giants of Silicon Valley, and finger (demonstrations are many) Microsoft news. Starting with Windows 10.
“Windows 10 is an OS built for mobility multi device “shall Satya enthusiasm Nadella. Microsoft’s goal is clear: become the first OS actor equip billion appliances, while form factor confused. The ambition of Microsoft is offering Windows 10 with a “unified platform” that drives not only the desktop, laptops or smartphones, but also Rasperry PI 2 and Holographic computers, ie HoloLens.
Windows 10, only one OS to control them all.
Microsoft’s secret to seamlessly run applications on such different platforms? A new Windows Store Windows application that distributes say ‘Universal’, ie that work on all devices with Windows 10, with the same binary file.
Specifically, it is the same application that will be available for a smartphone, a computer and HoloLens, as complicated as it may seem at first. And it is through the concept of ‘continuum’ that Microsoft hopes to take advantage of this innovation by connecting a smartphone on a touch screen and a Bluetooth keyboard, the user can work with Excel, installed on the smartphone, and deported on the computer screen, with the same features if the tool is installed on a desktop.
The iOS and Android applications brought on W10
But above all, with the Universal method for Windows Platform, Microsoft offers to all developers bring Web sites developed in HTML / CSS and .NET and Win32 applications on the Windows Store. Better, it will also the case for Android applications developed in JAVA / C ++ and, major feat, iOS applications developed in Objective C.
The idea? Attract developers operating in the Google and Apple ecosystem, encourage them to quickly bring users to layout Windows 10 their products and convince them to stay. Mostly it comes to enhancing the attractiveness of Windows Phone application that is sorely lacking. Still, Microsoft still remained discreet on how to “translate” those Android and iOS applications …
On this Focus, Joe Belfiore, VP of Microsoft OS, gave some tips see on stage set up by Microsoft on Windows 10 to push applications such as the “Suggested Application” function, crept into the menu Start the future OS.
Office 365 increasingly open
Office 365 now integrates via APIs, publishers services partners, such Docusign with electronic signature on a Word document or SAP which data are integrated on an Excel chart, Microsoft pushing delight to demonstrate on an iPad. Similarly, LinkedIn applications, Salesforce, or Uber are integrated directly to Outlook.
But Microsoft wants to go further as integration services to its traditional desktop bricks were they now online . The integration of various office tools to give Sway Graphs or an application ‘Portal’ which ‘extends beyond the Information Office applications to a unified interface “in the words of Satya Nadella.
Azure bigger than AWS and Google together
Azure side, two new products, data warehouse SQL Azure and Azure Lake Data Service provide an idea of the potential of scalibilité reached by the Microsoft cloud. What give wings to Big Data projects on the Microsoft cloud.
SQL Azure data warehouse enables the integration of heterogeneous data (Hadoop, SAP, Oracle, and of course Dynamics), which the now poses frontal competitor AWS Redshift, Microsoft provides.
It is even across cloud services that Microsoft announces now have a punching power that exceeds that “Amazon and Google together “assures Scott Guthrie, the executive VP of Cloud and Microsoft business. 19 world regions are now “hyperscale” with Azure, Microsoft promises.
Microsoft by figures speak for themselves. The company claims more than 90,000 new users per month, the operation of 1.4 million SQL Azure databases, or 3 million Visual Studio developers Online subscribers. Enough to give a volume to what became Azure (over 500 updates in 12 months), and show the wealth of a “total platform” that allows to develop, test and bring into production applications , without worrying about capacity issues.
And to show that Azure is not only powerful but open, Satya Nadella had invited on stage Docker CEO Ben Golub, so that can say all the good that a company DNA thought Microsoft Linux.
“Microsoft is actively contributing to Docker Hub” Tool contribution Docker community, emphasized the character witness, noting in passing that the company is now managed perfectly well in the Azure-Mufti containerization even associated with Linux instances

The output of Windows 10 almost here. Expected this summer, Microsoft must mobilize its ecosystem of developers to the launch of the new Microsoft OS for the general public and businesses be successful.
At the session Build held in San Francisco until May 1, Microsoft plans to unveil new functions related to Windows 10 and distribute new software development kits (SDK) meet all programmers. And whatever their preferred programming environment. .NET, Android, iOS and other
On Wednesday night, Satya Nadella opened the first plenary session of Build <. /> p>
The stakes are high: it is the first OS designed under his responsibility as CEO of Microsoft. It is also symbolic because of the fortieth anniversary of the co-founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen firm.
To summarize, Microsoft has unwrapped a series of announcements related to Windows 10.
But the new widen the cloud with Microsoft Azure (with data services to design “smart applications”) with the Visual Studio development tools (a release candidate version of Visual Studio 2015 available) and the .NET environment. Not to mention new connectors (API) to enrich the practices related to Office 365, the cloud version of the office suite of publisher
Windows 10. Billion of active terminals quickly
The cross-platform dimension plays a very important role with Windows 10. Microsoft wants to show the potential to develop code for the new OS juggling terminals. . While incorporating the changes in screen sizes
The ambitions are high: Microsoft wants to bring a billion terminals Business operating under Windows 10 by the beginning of fiscal year 2018
<. p> Windows universal platform vision remains at the heart of the convergence approach of the new OS: any professional or fun application is intended to run on all Windows 10 devices (smartphone, tablet, laptop …)
.
However, in the current state, it is better to speak of “continuum” for now because it will always be minor modifications to take into account. Four new SDK are available for developers to soak up the Universal Platform Windows pane.
Developers can integrate Cortana (technology for personal digital assistant and featuring voice recognition) but also Xbox Live module in their creation of apps, develop transactional services for trade, create holograms via HoloLens technology and reference their tools instead of Windows Store Market
Browser. Spartan becomes Edge
is also progressing on the new Internet browser forehead generation Spartan code name.
Now, the default browser built into Windows 10 and Windows Phone 10 officially called Microsoft Edge. This will be the new flagship in the battle of the browsers.
While anchoring more in line vis-à-vis the recent web standards, Edge is intended to provide a smooth browsing experience to users and extensions designed for the Google Chrome browser can be integrated (it will just tweak to adjust).
In unveiling the Microsoft Edge logo, it is difficult not to draw a parallel with that of Internet Explorer who initially survive the arrival of Edge, but for how long
Mobility: charm offensive to Android and iOS
On the face of mobility, Microsoft found a way to catch up in terms of wealth of apps available in the Windows Phone marketplace for 10 terminals.
A tool will allow to translate the Android and iOS apps to be compatible with smartphones running the new OS.
A weapon that will be appreciated in the war of the mobile OS. For the battle with Android and iOS is awesome and she is likely to intensify with the next Google IO and WWDC sessions to be held by the end of spring.
Big data, Office … and HoloLens to finish “fun”
The exploitation of databases in the cloud extends at Microsoft.
For problems of Unstructured data base management (“elastic database”), the publisher has unveiled a preview version of SQL Azure Database.
For an intense data mining, Microsoft has provided a warehouse Service databases in the cloud. SQL Azure Data Warehouse
In the extension, the publisher planned Azure Data Lake, a repository of content that is similar to an agile storage solution for high-volume data (known in petabytes.)
integration with services like Azure HDInsight (Apache Hadoop cloud service) Azure Machine Learning (predictive analytics service) solutions and third-party providers experts in big data like Cloudera and Hortonworks.
Microsoft has not forgotten its community of users to Office 365 (1.2 billion worldwide).
Through the new Office Connector Graph it will be possible to multiply the extensions (third party applications) directly integrated in the interface of Office 365. And that will be valid for users of iPad and those of Outlook.
A touch of ‘fun innovation to finish. Given the media attention, Microsoft has also surfed the intriguing HoloLens augmented reality technology that was introduced in January.
The demo with a beta tester with a headset in a salon for entertainment purposes remains bluffing (YouTube video).

8:40 p.m.: That’s it
The final word for Satya Nadella: “We want that people go to the stage of having to Windows, Windows to want to fall in love with Windows.” With Windows 10, apps Android / iOS and Hololens, the charm offensive has started rather well
8:40 p.m..: Not until the night of Thursday to Friday to Hololens
The first tests will take place tomorrow.
2030: We will be able to test Hololens
We will fight to be able to give you our impressions soon enough
8:15 p.m.: Hololens he is the future of computing
It is a helmet all in one: no cable to a PC, the Internet is built, everything happens over the eyes, as Minority Report, and it is handled with voice and gestures
.
20h00: Back to the future with Hololens
C ‘Microsoft is augmented reality glasses. Alex Kipman, his boss does not look like your typical engineer. The demo of “holographic computing” is quite impressive, with very well integrated 3D objects over the real. Not just to play, but also for its timing or emails around. Not sure the general public really wants, but it’s still a geek’s dream. For architects, designers, surgeons etc.
7:40 p.m.. Project Spartan is called Microsoft Edge
We were waiting, here is the official name of Microsoft’s browser: Edge. Internet Explorer can die in agony
19:30. The Android and iOS apps will be able to operate Windows 10 (with some tweaking)
The rumor was true: Microsoft will provide a tool for translating Android app (in Java and C ++) and iOS ( Objective C) so they run under Windows 10. It smartphones’ll have to see the details, and if it works with all apps, but it’s big: it would solve the biggest problem on Windows Mobile: the lack of ‘apps
7:20 p.m.. The promise of universal apps
Microsoft’s equation is simple: a single app, a unique code, multiple devices. With Windows 10, developers can create an app running on smartphone, tablet, PC or Xbox.
7:15 p.m.: Microsoft wants 1 billion users in Windows 10 in 2 years
It’s ambitious. It starts with a free update. And Microsoft will put the package to help businesses upgrade
7:10 p.m.. 1.5 billion Windows users
Microsoft wants to remind its platform still has enough to compete with iOS and Android. Mobile, it’s more complicated, but with its universal apps, Microsoft promises developers they can touch everyone, from smartphones to tablets to PCs.
7:05 p.m.: WINDOWS ON A PAST
” You waited patiemmement “jokes Nadella. No kidding. With this Windows 10, this is not the conf Build, Rebuild conf but for Microsoft. The reconstruction and reconqupête PC users. Windows 10 is
– designed as a
Service
– to a single platform, from PCs to tablets, phones and even Raspberry Pi
– shop Windows Unified
19.00: Find the odd
Nadella proved he was agnostic and was ready to go for the users and developers where they are on iOS and Android.
6:50 p.m.: We go to Office
Nadella back on stage. Microsoft opens Office will become a platform. Translation: developers can create apps for Office. We recall that Office now brings in more money than Microsoft Windows
18h45:! Just kidding
One always talks about Azure. Microsoft has also not the most charismatic speakers. I think I will use the 3D printing service presented on stage for me to deliver a katana and commit seppuku.
18.30: Windows 10 should not delay
It is now more than an hour we are on the Cloud and Saas (software as a service or software in the Cloud by subscription). Microsoft should not be long before you upgrade to Windows 10. Who, reconnnaissons it interests us a little more.
6:15 p.m.: Visual Studio Code arrives on Mac and Linux
The room applauded. Microsoft continues its offensive on all platforms. The idea? Encode from any machine to any platform with apps “cross-platform”. With Azure as infrastructure and environment like Visual Studio
6:10 p.m.. Code still
If (continuous code)
Then
{
take.a.nap == true;
// zzzzzzzzzzzz
}
18.00: zzzzzzzzzz
Microsoft did not really start with a bang. Code, code, code. At the same time, it is a developers conf
5:55 p.m.. Azure’s secret weapon Microsoft
It’s not sexy but services in the Cloud Microsoft represent a large portion of its revenues (More 25M%). On stage, was the cofounder of Docker, a startup that is worth more than a billion dollars. She makes “containers” that can deploy virtual in apps on any Linux server. Ok, we just lost 50% of the audience
5:50 p.m.. He is 40 years old , BASIC
Nostalgia with this tweet from Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen.
5:50 p.m.: The 3 central themes
– Build me a smart cloud (Internet of Things?)
– reinvent productivity and business (Office as a platform with apps)
– a “personal computing” more personal (Windows 10)
Nadella on stage:
17h45: music Developer
A musician is on stage to present their app: just scribbling notes on a score, and the software then creates the the cheek. “You can even write in C #,” he jokes (nerd alert, the musical note is a programming language).
5:40 p.m.: Developers Developers Developers
This is the refrain of the day. Nadella wants everyone developing for Windows. Students. Indie dev. Big boxes. “Microsoft has been created by developers,” he recalls
5:35 p.m.. C ‘ left
Satya Nadella in the place. For those who missed it, the new boss of Microsoft. Ballmer went to a heart attack as owner of the Los Angeles Clippers
5:30 p.m.. Welcome to all
This is do or die for Microsoft. Make or Break. Go big or go home. That’s all I have in sports metaphors ESPN. Joking aside, Windows 10 is a little Microsoft’s last chance to pass a comeback. The challenge convince developers not to ignore its platform. Things have changed in 10 years
IN IMAGES. The 40 Microsoft MS-DOS to Windows 10, is to discover here.
This is the season. After Facebook and before Google and Apple, Microsoft is holding its annual conference for developers in San Francisco. Wednesday and Thursday, the company will attempt to convince the world that Windows can become a platform that can compete with Android and iOS. Windows 10 PC users want to win and gain ground with universal mobile apps. This will be exciting without complicated hardware, and the company is expected to have a few surprises up its sleeve, including the side of the smartphone. Thursday, it should also give details of its futuristic glasses augmented reality Hololens. Add Office, the Cloud and the Xbox, and you have a busy schedule.
The Russian Progress cargo was not dropped at the correct altitude for the Soyuz rocket. But experts are categorical, the danger is minimal.
A Russian space freighter is in loss above our heads. The Progress, which was to supply the International Space Station (ISS) has “begun its fall” and he “totally uncontrollable reactions,” said, on condition of anonymity a Russian official told AFP. A disaster scenario worthy films showing (over two hours) a space object hurtling at full speed on the planet Blue …
In France, experts of the National Centre for Space Studies (CNES) evaluate the situation, as their alter ego of NASA and the Russian space agency Roskosmos. And the news is reassuring. Given the altitude and orbit where the spacecraft was dumped seven tonnes by a Soyuz rocket, “there is no risk that the Progress collides with the space station,” says one very good source in France.
Trying to regain control
Similarly, the probability that the ship crashes on Earth are completely void. Those pieces of Progress – titanium tank, docking clamps … – fall on the ground of the planet (the Earth is covered by oceans 70%), in a populated area and injures a human being are “infinitesimal” that is to say close to zero but “non-zero” says a specialist in space industry.
The fallout on Earth of Russian cargo will also last “for several weeks” period during which, the space agencies (CNES, NASA …) will, within the framework of international cooperation, follow fairly accurately with radar and calculate its trajectory while the Russian agency will attempt to resume Control. Objective? Turning its engines, control the path and halt its descent to direct it towards an uninhabited area, usually in the South Pacific. Spacefaring nations are accustomed to managing this type of return to earth “unmanned” of satellites or other space objects once or twice a year. “We’ll know a few hours before his arrival the pieces fall where cargo” insists the expert interviewed. Indeed, in contact with the Earth’s atmosphere, the ship bearing down 8 kilometers per second will undergo a warm-up phenomenon that will melt and disintegrate. Only some solid parts may not melt completely.
“Soyuz has not done the job”
It also remains to know what really happened. According to data collected from the Russian Space Agency, the problem occurred during the release of the cargo. “Soyuz has not done the job; he did not give the sufficient thrust to cargo that reaches the correct orbit,” says a specialist. Instead of being dropped to 250 km altitude and at a given speed in a circular orbit (at an altitude fixed) Progress has been placed too low (200 km) on a circular orbit or an elliptical orbit ( its altitude of 140-160 km alternates to 300 km altitude). But Progress engines are not powerful enough to allow him to return to the target orbit. They are mainly used, as well as antennas, to drive the ISS approach phase and adjust the position of cargo to the dock accurately.
We thought that most smartphone manufacturers had abandoned the high-end segment, crushed by Apple in favor of medium range, volumes of quality. But two exceptions prove the rule. If HTC One dares with the M9, if Samsung intends to rub apple with Galaxy S6, it will not be the only South Korean to fight on this ground since LG today unveiled the new version of its flagship.
The G4, that’s his name, takes the sober and slightly curved design of its predecessor, the G3, according to the manufacturer ensuring resistance 20% higher and better grip. Or.
It has a Quad HD 5-inch screen (2560×1440) slightly curved like G Flex family (but less pronounced) equipped with Quantum Dots technology, which would provide contrast 50% superior to conventional qHD screens, a Snapdragon 808-6 hearts Qualcomm (a modified too hot 810) clocked at 1.8 GHz and 3 GB of RAM, all accompanied by Android 5.1 an overcoat home.
In addition to these specifications, LG is how he differentiates Apple or Samsung? The giant put particularly on the quality of the screen, similar to the S6, and finishing the smartphone notably through a back cover made of genuine leather. The question is whether the leather is not too fragile face to wear, stains, scratches, everyday life … The less careful can opt for a classic hull, plastic …
Without really be original, LG also emphasizes the quality of its photo sensor to 16 megapixels thought to be effective in difficult conditions (with optical f1.8 and 50 possible settings). It is also possible to record and play videos in 4K or enjoy a sensor on the front of 8 MP for selfies. Again, the idea is to go beat Samsung on this ground where S6 is widely acclaimed. Battery side (removable), LG promises an autonomy normal use day thanks to its 3000 mAh.
As for prices, the G4 will be in the range of high-end handsets with a price of 699 euros for the leather version, and 649 euros for plastic versions. It will be released on June 5
With this new terminal, LG’s goal is clear:. Confirm or amplify Manufacturer encouraging results in recent months. Indeed, LG is now in a good current. Having fallen into the depths of the world rankings, the conglomerate has started a spectacular recovery, precisely supported by the premium range G including the G3.
In Q3 2014, sales were also up by 40%. However, its global market share is still low: 4% in Q4 2014, according to IDC

& gt; & Gt; & Gt; The Messenger probe will crash soon on Mercury
The gossips say that after having polluted the Earth, Americans will cast their waste on Mercury. Beyond the sarcastic side, it is a chapter that closes to the probe Messenger , which after 11 years of mission in orbit, will eventually crash into the planet Mercury. The probe sent by NASA in 2004 should complete the race Thursday, April 30.
For nearly 11 years, Messenger has provided important data to NASA scientists. They have for example discovered that Mercury’s surface was covered with a carbon layer, created by the influx of meteorites that strike its surface for billions of years. Initially, the mission was to last a year but thanks to advances in science, it has been extended twice.
Messenger is running out of time
If NASA says goodbye to the probe Messenger, this is not because the researchers got answers to their questions, but because Messenger has more fuels. The probe can no longer function and should crashing at the speed of 14,000 km / h, and should still cause an explosion 15 meters in diameter.
BepiColombo will replace Messenger
Despite many questions left unanswered, NASA is very satisfied Messenger. “For the first time in history, we have a good knowledge of Mercury which reveals a fascinating planet in our solar system” says John Grunsfeld, head of NASA’s science missions.
“While the satellite’s operation comes to an end, we celebrate Messenger for the success of this mission. A long journey starts to analyze the data that will reveal all the scientific mysteries of Mercury ” he concluded. It’s BepiColombo probe conducted by Japanese and European teams continue to analyze the planet Mercury
