Well don’t worry because the next-generation USB connector plug will always work as it will get connected to the port on the both sides.<br /> The new USB Type-C connector is built on existing USB 3.1 and 2.0 technologies but features an entirely new design, the connector would be much smaller in size and won’t depend upon the plug’s orientation.<br /> The promoter group of USB 3.0 comprised of HP, Intel, Microsoft, Renesas Electronics and Texas Instruments. The group says that the new design will accommodate further upgrades in future devices bringing thinner and sleeker product designs, enhancing usability and providing better performance.<br /> <div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> </div> The newer design would support for scalable power charging, allowing the cable to offer up to 100 watts and support data rates nearing 10 GBs.<br /> The group’s president Jeff Ravencraft said “Consumers are now demanding thinner and sleeker product designs and the USB 3.0 Promoter Group recognizes this need”<br /> Unfortunately the plug won’t work with the current USB ports and would require adapters and is expected to be released in the mid 2014.<br /> Not to mention, transfer rates will be way higher than current standards.</div>

BlackBerry Loses $4.4 Billion Last Quarter

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQyszOB48ZQQkbFkSr1jWqOiDF0SzPYFT6-cMm845_1JSQbL2PWiAlqvFdA1YtHJRnQdbirmYOrZZ-jcsWCdWPMofcT9dfceJZoXVZxa2Qu_IA0Wa-a41ogPYmtoDvd__kSCpaowu69e4/s1600/blackberry.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQyszOB48ZQQkbFkSr1jWqOiDF0SzPYFT6-cMm845_1JSQbL2PWiAlqvFdA1YtHJRnQdbirmYOrZZ-jcsWCdWPMofcT9dfceJZoXVZxa2Qu_IA0Wa-a41ogPYmtoDvd__kSCpaowu69e4/s1600/blackberry.jpg" /></a></div> As times passes, things seem to be worsening than ever for BlackBerry. The Canadian company reports that last quarter it made revenues of just $1.2 billion, down from $1.6 billion the last quarter (and $2.7 billion a year ago) and sold 4.3 million phones, out of which only 1.1 million were running on BB10 OS, which was supposed to be the lifesaver.<br /> The company made a loss of $1.8 billion last quarter since it wrote-off unsold BB10 devices in the warehouse, the figure stands at a monumental $4.4 billion.<br /> <div class="adsxpls" id="adsxpls1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"> </div> Still, the company is seeing revolutionary changes thanks to its new CEO. In order to capture larger more market share, BlackBerry is partnering with Foxconn in China to manufacture cheaper smartphones. The first phones to come out of the partnership will debut in 2014.<br /> Secondly, the firm is divided into three divisions, Services, QNX Embedded and Devices. The first one will be getting the most attention from BlackBerry while Devices department will be handled in a more efficient way.<br /> And despite that phenomenal loss, the CEO John S. Chen thinks that things will get fine by 2016. According to its plan, profits and losses should get even by 2015, with profits turning in later. We’ll have to wait and see whether this strategy will work.</div>
