Owners of Sony Xperia Z3 and Xperia Z3 Compact Android handsets that have a locked bootloader, it is your lucky day. At least, it is if you’ve been hoping to root your device.
A clever dev over at the XDA-Forums has scored himself a touch of bounty for working out the xploit. Sorry… exploit. The method is not intended for the international Xperia Z3 and Z3 Compact devices, which come with unlockable bootloaders, and are rather easily tinkered with by the AOSP and ROM enthusiasts.
The first half of next year should get very interesting for mobile devices. We’re expecting the Qualcomm S4, NVIDIA Kal-El, Texas Instruments OMAP 4470, and Samsung’s new Exynos 4212 chips to arrive then. But, even if these devices will all arrive in the first half of 2012, we don’t know the exact dates–and that might make a difference.
For example, if one of them is 30% better than the other, but arrives in June, while the other arrives in January, then it might not mean much, because the January chip will probably have an upgraded version by June, too, and might equal or even surpass the original “better” chip.
Sony’s smartphone business is a shadow of its former self, but that doesn’t mean that the company isn’t profiting off the smartphone revolution.
Sony is the leading manufacturer of camera sensors for mobile applications – its Exmor sensors can be found in virtually every major device, ensuring a steady flow of cash for the company, a part of which is re-invested into R&D.
The latest camera sensor from Sony looks to further solidify its lead in the sector.

Cybersecurity firm Chronicle announced it is a new business under the umbrella of Alphabet. Chronicle was founded in 2016 in the semi-secretive X division. The company looks to offer its cybersecurity platform and VirusTotal malware intelligence system to other companies. It took almost two years, but cybersecurity firm Chronicle finally “graduated” from Alphabet‘s somewhat secretive X division and made it to the big leagues.

Luckily, our days of trying to make sense of fuzzy shots are over, as a collection of high resolution images and video showing the LG G2 made their way online.
Without further ado, here’s the video and the image gallery.

How Google coaxed the Academy Award-winning actor out of semi-retirement is anyone’s guess, but it’s certainly good to see him.
