Samsung Display to quit as Apple supplier in 2013

post from Ubergizmo on 22 October 2012 01:00:31 PM. © Ubergizmo

Samsung picked up the slack where others failed to a few years ago when it came to supplying displays for Cupertino?s range of portable devices, and even until today, they remain as the largest Apple screen supplier, shipping 15 million panels over to Apple in the first six months of 2012 alone. In the second half, however, the picture was not all that rosy, where Samsung shipped under the 3 million figure mark to Apple, and one can only postulate that the fourth quarter shipment is going to suffer even further – perhaps 1.5 million or less.

Having said that, word on the street has it that an unnamed (how convenient) Samsung Display executive was ?caught? sharing word that Samsung Display will no longer supply displays to Apple from 2013 onwards, terminating the contract between both companies. The main reason cited was the changed relationship with suppliers that Apple has imposed, where the price per pixel from the iPad 2 to the new iPad has dropped by over 20 times for suppliers. That certainly does not bode well for the suppliers, and we are inclined to think that the lawsuit which Apple picked up a major victory in the US also had something to do with souring relations. What do you think?

Borderlands Legends for iOS revealed in leaked ad

Good news gamers, if you?ve enjoyed the Borderlands universe so far and thought it might be cool if you could play it on your mobile device, well it seems like your wish will be coming true this October. It seems that an ad spotted in the Borderlands 2?s digital strategy guide (via Gearbox forum) has revealed that an iOS version of Borderlands Legends will be available via the iTunes App Store in October! Given that we?re nearly at the end of October, we guess we won?t have to wait much longer to get our hands on the game! As per the advertisement, gamers will be able to play as any of the original Borderlands heroes (Mordecai, Lilith, Roland, Brick), collect thousands of different weapons, access to 36 unique powers and abilities and will have the missions randomized. Gearbox has yet to officially announce the game but we guess we might not have to wait too long to hear an official statement. So, who?s excited?

Skyrim inspires a course at Rice University

It seems Bethesda?s Skyrim has proved so popular that Rice University in Houston, Texas, has launched a one-time course based on it. Dubbed the ?Scandanavian Fantasy World: Old Norse Sagas and Skyrim?, this is a one-time course that will run for one semester and is offered by the Department of English with enrollment being limited. We guess given the popularity of Skyrim, we expect that the class should be filled pretty quickly. So what exactly will students learn in this course? According to the course description: (more…)
