The market for smartphones has grown to such an extent that people are no longer just interested in the features and apps.

You won’t find Apple trying to sell the new model of the iPhone or a new feature they have added to it. They try to make the device appealing so that the people are automatically attracted towards it. This is the difference between the leading companies and the companies trying to make their mark in the market like HTC.
Once again, Lenovo has taken into priority that modern design is well, modern, and that if used correctly, can be extremely satisfying.

Scientists at CERN have a small update that they thought you (and the rest of the world that’s interested) should know: that their purported finding of the Higgs boson “god particle” seems to be getting closer and closer to specific characteristics and formula that would classify it as the particle they’re looking for; as they said simply, the particle they’ve been working with is ”more and more like a Higgs boson.” The researchers weren’t very specific after that, which makes us sad/mad, but I’ll leave it at that.
