iPad 3: Leaked Pictures Giving The Game Away    [ 01-02-2012 20:41 ]

BGR has maanged to get its hands on some screenshots that are reportedly from the anticipated iPad 3 (or whatever it will be called). The source of the images informed BGR that he was in posession of an iPad 3 prototype and had taken the following screenshots using a development/de-bug tool called iBoot.

The screenshots themselves give us some insight into the device. For starters there are two models references, with model numbers of J1 and J2. These aren't actually separate iPads so much as they are variants of the same device. One will be WiFi only whilst the other looks to feature additional support for GSM/CDMA/LTE. The screenshots also ched some light on the processor running the show, namely the A6. This new chip looks to be a quad-core effort, which ties in with some of the rumours that have appeared concerning the device in recent months.

Microsoft Running Anti-Google Newspaper Ads    [ 01-02-2012 20:13 ]

Google is currently taking a bit of flack of its recent privacy policy changes. Now a good competitor never lets such an opportunity pass them by and Microsoft is nothing if not sharp eyed when it comes to exploiting an opportunity to get one over on its rivals. To that end Microsoft is running anti-Google newspaper ads in major American newspapers.

Google claims that its new privacy policy doesn't actually collect any more data on users than its previous policy. This doesn't seem to be finding much support at Microsoft, whose ads read:

To be clear, there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting to improve the quality of an advertising product. But, that effort needs to be balanced with continuing to meet the needs and interests of users. Every business find sits own balance and attracts users who share those priorities. Google's new changes have upset that balance, with users' priorities being de-prioritised. That's why people are concerned and looking for alternatives ... If these changes rub you the wrong way, please consider using our portfolio of award-winning products and services.

Well there you have it. How effective will such ads be? It's hard to say really, but it's doubtful that they will have any real impact upon Google, especially when it comes to search. The ads will be appearing in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and USA Today.
