HTC One Max Will Feature Finger Print Security

Following the path of much successful iphone 5S finger print reader, it is HTC that is the first to introduce the system on to Android platform. HTC has released One Max, with finger print reader identical to Apple Iphone 5S.

The phone will be a 5.9 inch screen running Android 4.3. The phone can run on fourth-generation Long-Term Evolution networks, it said in a statement yesterday. The device, using Qualcomm Inc.’s Snapdragon 600 processor will debut in China, U.K. and Taiwan before starting U.S. sales, Chief Marketing Officer Ben Ho said in an interview today.

The Taiwanese company had registered a loss in the first quarter and is planning to regain the market with the newly released HTC one max. The market was easily taken away from HTC by the leader Samsung and the new defined Sony Xperia series.

“Large-screen phones have been picked up in Asia more than in Western countries, and the trend for larger is definitely there,” Ho said by phone. One Max is HTC’s last major product release this year ahead of the next One device expected in the first quarter, he said.

The phone will be officially unveiled at a press conference today in Beijing and becomes the latest model to be first shown in China. Various models of its Desire series as well as China-specific phones have been released first in that market, Ho said.

One Max will be released by the end of this month featuring HTC’s UltraPixel camera technology, first unveiled with the HTC One in February. Its fingerprint sensor is on the device’s back while Apple’s is on the front.

No Encroachment, China Is Cautious About India - A K Antony

Beijing fears New Delhi is ramping up its military infrastructure along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) to catch up with China, defence minister AK Antony said in the Rajya Sabha on Friday.

HT had first reported on May 28 that, with improvement in infrastructure, India is getting ready to be more assertive along its disputed border with China.

Confirming another HT report, published on September 3, he told both Houses that National Security Advisory Board chief Shyam Saran had visited the Ladakh sector from August 2 to August 9 and submitted his report “primarily focused on border infrastructure” to the PMO and the defence ministry.

He also denied some media reports that China had occupied 640 sq km of Indian territory in the Ladakh sector.

Antony further told Parliament that improved infrastructure along the Indian side of the border with China is bringing the two armies closer to each other, resulting in “unpleasant and unfortunate” face-offs along the LAC.

Under fire from the BJP and the Samajwadi Party over frequent incursions from Chinese troops, he had to speak twice in the Lok Sabha on the issue.

In the Lok Sabha, BJP’s Yashwant Sinha wanted to know whether India was still in control of Despang Bulge, while SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav questioned the consistent Chinese claims on what he termed seven Indian states.

Antony said India had made significant leaps in improving infrastructure along the Chinese border over the last decade. “China also fears that India is trying to catch up. I can’t share everything,” he said.

Top government sources had told HT that improved infrastructure would allow Indian forces to patrol deeper into the disputed territory with China instead of restricting surveillance to a “patrolling limit” ranging from 2-20km within New Delhi’s perception of the LAC.

“China has built capacities and continues to do so. There will be no compromise on building capacities on our side,” Antony said. On incursions, he said just as India complains about Chinese incursions, Beijing also accuses India of carrying out patrols in what they consider their territory. “In recent years, patrols from both sides have been coming closer due to rapid infrastructure development,” he said.

INS Vikrant A Step Closer to being Super Power - Admiral Sureesh Mehta : National Desk

The biggest gain is that this ship was indigenously designed and built by us. If we have to be a big superpower, we must have the capability to build ships of such calibre ourselves. We will continue to build some more ships of the same class.

This brings us close to our maritime strategy of having three aircraft carriers. The idea is that two out of three must be fully operational all the time. One can be deployed on the eastern seaboard and the other one on the western seaboard.

Our areas of responsibility increased significantly and we are now sailing into what I would like to call the Indo-Pacific region. All the maritime traffic passes through this area (and the Malacca Straits) and we need to maintain a good presence in this region.

An aircraft carrier is a huge instrument to project force and this gives us a huge advantage over China that is still far behind on experience in aircraft carriers. China is getting its first aircraft carrier and its navy doesn’t have any right now.

We are years ahead of it in terms of experience and capability, and it will take time for the Chinese to get their act together. It takes years to induct a carrier and it has to work with other forces.

It also takes five to seven years to build maritime doctrines for an aircraft carrier and in this area, we have decades of experience.

Even though China has more nuclear submarines than us, how long can it remain in water without any major logistic base in this region? Also, we are getting the P8I aircraft, which is an excellent anti-submarine warfare aircraft, from the Americans.

That will help us neutralise China’s advantage over us in submarine capabilities.

The MiG-29K is a wonderful aircraft and it we will help maintain an impenetrable bubble of at least 300 nautical miles around an aircraft carrier or a carrier battle group. This gives us a massive strategic reach and power...
