It’s clear by now that the Galaxy S III is an extremely popular smartphone, so it’s no wonder we’ve been hearing rumors of a new version of the handset â€" dubbed the Galaxy S III Mini â€" off and on for a while. Today we’re hearing new rumors of such a device, although this time around there’s some lovely photographic evidence to go along with it. Samsung has apparently started sending out invitations to an October 11 event in Germany, and with them, the company is teasing something tiny.
According to the folks at UnwiredView, the text on the invitation (pictured below) says something along the lines of “Something small will be really big,†and, “Get ready for a little sensation.†Of course, it’s impossible to know for sure what Samsung is talking about in this invitation, but we can clearly see the “S†that Samsung has always used in the branding for Galaxy S devices pictured in the center. So, at the very least, we should be hearing about a new Galaxy S device at this event on October 11.
The text on the invite, however, suggest that this device’s size is one of the main talking points. That’s leading some to believe that the long-rumored Galaxy S III Mini will be revealed at this event, but even though the evidence is pointing toward such a reveal, we’re hesitant to say that it’s a sure thing. In short, take any rumors about a Galaxy S III Mini with a grain of salt until Samsung makes the announcement it’s teasing in this invite.
Even with all of the mystery, it would make sense for Samsung to release a Galaxy S III Mini. The Galaxy S III is a great phone, but some think that the massive 4.8-inch screen is a little on the big side. If Samsung can fix those complaints by offering a mini variant of the Galaxy S III, it would surely net a few more sales, so we’re tempted to believe the hype and assume that the company is teasing the Galaxy S III Mini here. What do you think?

Elliott often seems lonely and out of sorts, lost in his own world. One day, while looking for something in the back yard, he senses something mysterious in the woods watching him.

OpenWorld 2012 Oracle CEO Larry Ellison says one of the top advantages of his company's newly announced cloudy application suite is that Oracle uses all of its own technology to build and deploy its cloud apps, and it allows its customers to do the same.
"Oracle owns Java, the most popular programming language in the world," Ellison told the crowd assembled for the database giant's annual OpenWorld conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, adding that all of Oracle's cloud-based applications were written in Java and all run on Oracle databases.
By the same token, Ellison said, the programming language Oracle supports on its Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering is Java, and the database it offers is the Oracle database.
That's important, he said, because it means the tools Oracle gives its customers to modify, customize, and interoperate with its cloud platform â€" as well as to build their own applications â€" are the very same ones Oracle uses, something not all of its competitors can say.
Earlier in the day, Oracle VP of Product Development Thomas Kurian tactfully made it through his entire keynote without ever mentioning Salesforce.com, which is sure to be one of Oracle's biggest rivals in the cloud applications market. Ellison displayed no such restraint, calling out Salesforce as a prominent Oracle customer.
"Salesforce.com bases its entire cloud on Oracle database," Ellison said, "but its database platform offering is PostgreSQL. I find that interesting."
Similarly, Ellison said, Salesforce offers a PaaS development platform through its Heroku subsidiary. "But they don't use it," he said. "Salesforce wasn't written in Heroku Java."
That almost goes without saying, since the Heroku cloud has only supported Java since last year and its Java PaaS offering for enterprises launched last month.
In strict point of fact, Salesforce doesn't operate the backend behind the Heroku cloud, either. Salesforce bagged the startup PaaS vendor in 2010 for $ 212m in cash and $ 27m in stock, but Heroku still runs its platform on Amazon Web Services, rather than Salesforce's own infrastructure.
Ellison went on to extol the virtues of Oracle's privately-run cloud, which he said was also based on the company's own technology, including its newest Exadata X3 database clusters.
His comments came just weeks after Salesforce held its own Dreamforce 2012 conference, also at San Francisco's Moscone Center. At that event, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff trumpeted that his company offered the most popular cloud platform and the most widely used cloudy applications.
But if this week's OpenWorld keynotes were any indication, Benioff may soon need to step up his game even further. During Dreamforce, Oracle had only teased investors that it was readying a cloud push. Based on Ellison's comments on Tuesday, however, Oracle is not just entering the cloud applications and PaaS markets, but it's spoiling for a fight. ®

It's a tantalizing, often perplexing question, haunting in nature and simple in demeanor. One might argue it's a philosophical question, inviting us to ask WHO WAS PHONE within each one of us. Others may suggest that it offers a fleeting glimpse into an alternate reality that we cannot understand. It is a question that will be pondered by the greatest minds of our generation for decades to come. Will we ever truly know the answer? Maybe. Maybe.

Billionaire investor Paul Allen says he's bullish on Windows 8, but it seems even the co-founder of Microsoft has struggled with what he describes as some of the more "puzzling aspects" of the new OS.
In an in-depth review posted to his personal website, Allen says he has been working with a preview release of Windows 8 for a few months, and that while he has been "impressed" and "excited" by it, the experiment hasn't been entirely painless.
"Windows 8 does certainly require a brief adjustment period before users become familiar and comfortable with the new bimodal operating system," Allen writes.
"Bimodal" is the word Allen uses to describe the new OS's twin user experience, which offers both a traditional, Windows 7â€"like desktop environment and the blocky, touch-centric UI of Windows 8's new Start Screen. Although Allen says he appreciates both modes, like most of us he found it disconcerting how the OS kept bouncing him between the two.
"In Windows 8, users will be surprised when they are switched unexpectedly between the desktop and Windows 8 style applications," Allen writes, clearly not having got the memo that we're supposed to call them Windows Store apps now.
According to Allen, users can avoid some of these sudden transitions by adjusting Windows' file type associations, and he explains how with detailed instructions.
But in other cases, he says, the problem is that Windows 8 simply doesn't make a clear enough distinction between its desktop and tablet-centric UIs. For example, it includes a Windows Store version of Internet Explorer and a desktop version, but although they're both named the same thing, they're actually completely different applications â€" so different that they can't even share the same bookmarks.
Allen also found â€" surprise, surprise â€" that although the touch-centric Start Screen might be great for tablets, its UI was often counterintuitive when running on a desktop PC with a traditional keyboard and mouse combo.
Some of the touch controls are hidden, Allen writes, and there aren't any on-screen clues to let users know how to find them. Also, he says some of the swiping, sliding, and scrolling controls didn't translate well between the Windows 8's two modes.
Despite his list of complaints, however, Allen has a suggestion for anyone who has been underwhelmed by Windows 8's new UI: Get used to it. Bill Gates's former business partner says most of his gripes are really no big deal, and that even desktop PC users "should be able to pick things up without much trouble."
"Touch seems a natural progression in the evolution of operating systems, and I'm confident that Windows 8 offers the best of legacy Windows features with an eye toward a very promising future," Allen writes, adding, "I hope this helps."
You and Steve Ballmer both, Paul. ®
