Movie remakes are, in the eyes of the die-hard film buffs, often a recipe for disaster. Most of the classics have come back for a second innings, and the likes of The Karate Kid, The A Team, and Nightmare On Elm Street all have one thing in common - they were nowhere near as good as the originals.
Windows Phone, whilst not having found a significant user-base just yet, is widely considered as the only threat to the dominance of Google's Android and Apple's iOS operating systems, and despite having only released a handful of devices with Windows Phone 7.x, the anticipation regarding Windows Phone 8 is almost as great as that of the desktop edition.
With only twelve days to go before Apple is rumored to be announcing its next iPhone, it just wouldn't be right if we had a whole day without any coverage of the device, dubbed the iPhone 5, and like so many of the recent leaks, this one arrives courtesy of the French blog Nowhereelse.fr.

Although Samsung is still in the process of hiding in the shadows of the consumer technology industry in an attempt to lick their wounds that are a result of their rather large defeat against Apple in California, they have managed to present their case in a Japanese court and notch up what can only be classed as an extremely small victory over the Cupertino-based iPhone giants. Although the case is in no way as large as the recent happenings that have been going on in San Jose recently, a victory is still a victory and Samsung will walk away from this one with their heads held a little higher.
The time is fast approaching for Tim Cook and his cohorts to adorn that Moscone Center stage and introduce the world to the sixth-generation iPhone, which in turn will more than likely bring with it an immediate release of iOS 6, the company's next major revision of their mobile operating system. Registered members of the iOS dev program are now regularly using the fourth beta of iOS 6 in an attempt to familiarize themselves with the new features and improvements which Apple has pushed out, as well as trying to find and report any bugs that may exist.
For those that believe that Apple's industry leading smartphone is impervious to viral or spyware infections then it would be the right time to brace yourself for some bad news that it just isn't the case.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that the technology world is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, something that is occurring with both hardware and software.
