At the CES 2013 Samsung stood out and are expected to do the same next year by introducing the Galaxy Round and Galaxy S5. With sales slowing on the Galaxy S4, Samsung is hopeful of the possible launch of the Galaxy 5 during CES 2014. With a new 16MP camera, potential 64-bit chip,  and all-metal body, consumers are certainly looking forward to this machine.

 

 

Microsoft is expected to throw light upon the adoption of Windows 8.1 and sales of Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2.  Kazuo Hirai, CEO of Sony, is believed to be delivering a keynote address which will constitute the Tech Titans keynote series.  Sony may launch a next-gen PS4 accessory at the event too.

 

Marissa Mayer, so far the only female speaker due to be present, will be part of the Tech Titan keynote address and will expand on Yahoo’s mobile user growth and general changes at Yahoo. In addition, Valve is set to launch the Steam Controller and Steam Machines at the CES whilst iBuyPower is also set to launch their own models.  As of that wasn’t enough, LG have announced its G Flex phone which is said to bend when pressure is applied without breaking.

 

So, guys brace yourselves because CES 2014 is definitely expected to be the hottest tech show on the planet.

How Marissa Mayer transformed Yahoo

How Marissa Mayer transformed Yahoo

After Mike Kerns, Yahoo’s senior vice president of home page declared it had become stagnant CEO Marissa Mayer has taken it upon herself to modify the Yahoo home page, Mail, Flickr and Sports for the better.

As you know My Yahoo is a customized page where one can add summarised content feeds such as email, stocks and websites.  For a time it seemed as if Yahoo was being left to die out but the entire site has itself become gradually more personalised and now we see that Yahoo has launched a makeover of My Yahoo.  The new page has a slicker look and lets one choose from among thousands of Yahoo services and feeds from other websites.  It arranges them in the order of one’s choice in an easier and faster manner. The new look is much more modern with the option of choosing from several themes and backgrounds.

Changes can be made more conveniently than ever before.  My Yahoo and the Yahoo homepage also work better on mobiles than their previous versions did.  The refresh was needed to satisfy millions who use it every day. Yahoo encourages people on its home page to try it out in order to get more new users.  Marissa Mayer said that the essential key was to get people back to Yahoo for their daily habits.

It is interesting to note that the stock price of Yahoo has doubled and Mayer has bought two dozen companies.  Recently, Yahoo passed Google as the top website for the first time in a period of more than two years.
