Nokia working on 8-inch tablet: Report...

Nokia recently took the covers off its very first tablet Lumia 2520 that rivals Apple iPad Air, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, Sony Xperia Tablet Z and Microsoft Surface Pro. Though the new device is yet to hit the market, speculation has already started about the company's second tablet.
Technology website The Verge has reported that the upcoming tablet is codenamed Illusionist and will feature an 8-inch screen. It is also said to run on a Qualcomm processor and will be powered by Windows RT 8.1 operating system.
The Nokia Lumia Illusionist tablet is slated to be launched early next year and will hit certain markets alongside the newly announced Lumia 1520 phablet.
With this screen size, the upcoming device will compete against the likes of Apple's iPad mini with Retina display, Google Nexus 7, Amazon Kindle Fire HDX, Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 and LG G Pad 8.3.
Microsoft is also rumoured to launch a Surface tablet with 7.5-inch display next year. Nokia shareholders will vote on selling its handset business to Microsoft this month.
Nokia is also said to be working on Lumia 929 and Lumia 525 smartphones.

First look: Google's Moto X smartphone..

NEW YORK: In the four decades since Motorola first showed off a prototype of the world's first cellphone, the company has watched Apple, Samsung and other innovators surpass it in sales. With Google as its new owner, Motorola is introducing the Moto X, a phone notable for innovations in manufacturing, as part of an attempt to regain its stature.
Yes, there's plenty the Moto X offers in terms of software, including the ability to get directions, seek trivia answers or set the alarm without ever touching the phone. There's good hardware, too, including a body that's nearly as slim as the iPhone 5, but with the larger, 4.7-inch screen that is comparable to those found in rival Android phones.
But what's really special about the Moto X has nothing to do with making calls, checking Facebook or holding it in your hands. Rather, it breaks from the pack by allowing for a lot of customization. You can choose everything from the color of the power button to a personalized message on the back cover.
To make those special orders possible, Motorola is assembling the Moto X in Texas, making it the first smartphone to be put together in the U.S. Motorola promises to ship custom designs within four days, faster than it would be able to if the company had chosen to make the Moto X halfway around the world in Asia, as other phones typically are. (Phones for overseas markets will be made overseas.)

Why the name...'GOOGLE'..

Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin on september 4,1998 while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University.Google was earlier called as BackRub Search Engine.Larry and Sergey decide that the BackRub search engine needs a new name. After some brainstorming, they go with Google—a play on the word “googol,” a mathematical term for the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. The use of the term reflects their mission to organize a seemingly infinite amount of information on the web.
