According to foreign media reports, in 2013, when you see the controversy about who can access user data, new game consoles, Microsoft development of blockbuster products, you can also see the previous glory of the IT industry also disappeared, you may not be surprised. Frankly, it's hard to predict what's going to happen, especially in the changing consumer technology arena. Here are the top ten technical news for 2013 years.
1. Google set up a disability-assisted technology business unit
At the beginning of 2013, Google Glasses (Google Glass) will be handed over to developers who pay 1500 dollars for each pair of glasses at the Google I/O conference in 2012. You've seen Google glasses with a camera, a map guide, and a video phone. However, Kurzweil Ray Kurzweil was hired by Google as engineering director in 2012 to help launch the consumer version of Google glasses. We are also told that Kurzweil will open a new business unit at Google to develop assistive technologies for people with disabilities.
In the same 2013, hackers will create a face-recognition screen like The Terminator movie. But you have to wait a few more years to get it done with DNA and retinal scans.
2. WikiLeaks founder extradited to US
Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, was placed under house arrest at the Ecuadorian embassy in London for six months. He couldn't have been there forever, and the Ecuadorian embassy could not have been able to smuggle him out of Britain.
As a result, in 2013, Assange will be freed from the diplomatic embassy's protection against the Swedish allegations of sexual assault against him. Shortly thereafter, he will be extradited to the United States for criminal charges, as he released a large number of confidential U.S. diplomatic cables in 2010.
3. John-McAfee reality TV series launched
We predict that John McAfee, a well-known technology entrepreneur, will eventually be questioned by Belize city police for suspected murder. But he will remain in the United States, producing a film that reflects his life. Dissatisfied with the final result, McAfee will sign a TV show with cable channel Bravo later next year.
4. Mixing Windows 8 laptops eventually became hot
Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 8, has so far not sparked a rush of consumers snapping up Windows 8 hardware. However, in the 2013, the hybrid laptop will eventually become hot. Microsoft's Surface Pro and Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 will gain the favor of some business people who want both the convenience of tablets and the ability to have laptops.
With the success of Microsoft and its hardware partners, Apple's rumor factory will be told that Apple is likely to develop Macpad, an apple hybrid that is said to run the iOS x operating system. Apple will not comment on the rumours, but it will issue rules banning its engineers and prototype developers from making bars in the next six months.
5. BlackBerry market share will be less than 5%
In January 2013, RIM will continue its efforts to maintain its relevance by launching two devices with BlackBerry 10. BlackBerry 10 is RIM's most modified smartphone operating system with touch-centric features.
But with Android and iOS dominating the smartphone market, Microsoft's push for Windows Phone 8,rim began to retreat. BlackBerry's market share in the US smartphone market has fallen from 35.8% in October 2010 to 7.8% in 2012 years, according to the market research firm comscore.
We expect BlackBerry devices to have less than 5% of the U.S. market by the end of 2013. The die-hard BlackBerry review site Crackberry users will continue to maintain rim's popularity by claiming that BlackBerry will be the best mobile operating system and hardware-think of Apple's loyal fans, who have spent the most difficult time with Apple.
6. Ikea and Microsoft jointly produce surface coffee table
In 2012, Ikea tried to combine furniture with technology. In 2013, IKEA will work with Microsoft to produce a coffee table that integrates Microsoft's Surface tablet computer technology. You'll be able to play casual games, keep up with a variety of Xbox consoles, surf the web and update Facebook information-you don't have to leave the couch to do all this.
7. Players are furious about DRM programs
To boost revenue, game makers will be experimenting with new DRM schemes to infuriate players. By the end of the summer of 2013, the rumored Sony PlayStation Orbis console and next-generation Xbox 360 will be unveiled. They will feature high-resolution and augmented reality glasses. But Sony's new gaming machines will have a bigger surprise: their game discs will be used only on specific consoles, effectively preventing game discs from renting, selling second-hand games, and exchanging games discs with friends. Microsoft and Nintendo will announce a similar approach to their game consoles.
Players will march to the streets to protest. By the winter of 2013, all game makers would have apologized for saying "oops" and dropped the new DRM program.
8. Privacy Disclosure
In the 2013, there will be a major turning point in the increasingly rigorous era of network monitoring. People will be dramatically less concerned about the personal data they publish online and will no longer worry about who sees them. At the same time, NSA is in the Utah State Network data Collection Center, will be online and large-scale collection of U.S. network activity information.
Users will be delighted to enjoy the excessive information-sharing of Zuckerberg's times, who shrug their shoulders and continue to share every detail of their lives. Data collectors will be salivating to look at their results and use this information to create more accurate digital archival materials for everyone and share them with advertisers rather than with the NSA. The Privacy protection organization will speak out and try to warn us. However, users will be too lazy to manage the sophisticated information tracking technology.
9. Microsoft launches Xbox HDTV against Apple HDTV
If Apple had a year in the TV market, it would be 2013 years. Smart televisions with many apps are now becoming more popular, and TV makers are preparing to vigorously promote high-definition OLED HDTV to get the mainstream people to use it by 2014, according to market research firm NPD DisplaySearch.
This set the stage for Apple to launch its Apple TV. Apple TV will have applications from NBC, ABC, CBS and other large content providers to allow viewers to see a variety of video-on-demand video content. Other advanced features of Apple TV include built-in airplay music players and the integrated Siri Voice Helper feature.
In order not to lag behind, Microsoft will announce the launch of the Xbox HDTV in 2014. The TV will support the built-in Xbox 720 (to be announced in 2013), the Kinect 2.0 and augmented reality glasses.
Chromebook notebook computer will die
In 2012, we saw 200-dollar, 249-dollar and 300-dollar Internet laptop Chromebook. But Google and its manufacturing partners cannot persuade more people to buy the search giant's products. In 2013, Google will realise that Chromebook has come to a dead end. But it will still be toying with the Android laptop and will eventually focus on Android tablets. By the end of 2013, the only person using Chromebook will be Jeff Jarvis, the author of San Francisco's elementary schools and prominent commentators and what Google would do.
