Photo Suggests Nexus 6 Might Come With Verizon Branding

Nexus 6

So you are thinking of buying a Nexus 6 from Verizon? It was listed on the website of Verizon that the handset will be “Coming soon”. However, when it will be available is still not known. In the meantime, if it is your biggest wish that your next favorite phone doesn’t come with Verizon branding then it seems you will be disappointed. As you can see in the image above it seems that the phone will come with Verizon branding on the back of the smartphone. For many people it is not that much of a big deal but still there are people who prefer a “Clean” Phone and also if you would like to resell it later then this can be quite an issue.

Of course, these photos could be completely fake as anyone can easily photoshop a Verizon Logo but when it comes to branding Verizon seem to like it quite much.  So we can say that this could be a real deal.  Now the last thing remains is whether Verizon will install bloatware on it or not which completely destroys the fun part of owning a Nexus 6 as it comes with Stock Android, but the chances are it will come with it. So we can just hope for the best even if the odds are against us.

Verizon Wireless Is Facing Pressure Due To Increased Amount Of Network Traffic

Verizon Wireless is feeling the crush of all of those LTE-enabled devices on its network.The carrier said it is facing pressure to deliver increased amounts of bandwidth in big cities such as New York, San Francisco, and Chicago. In a rare admission on Tuesday, Verizon Chief Financial Officer Fran Shammo admitted the rapid growth in traffic was starting to hamper the quality of the service.

Verizon Wireless is facing network pressure in Big cities
"There are certain pockets where we're absolutely going to experience that down tick from the LTE network down to 3G because of capacity constraints," Shammo said during an investor conference.
It's a surprising concession from a company that typically trumps its network superiority as a reason why customers should pay a premium for its wireless services. It has long touted itself as the nation's most reliable, but that claim has since been taken by AT&T, which also boasts the nation's fastest network. Verizon maintains it has the most reliable network, and cites a different study.

The growth in data traffic is a result of its early move into LTE. Verizon boasts the nation's largest LTE network, and the longest running, which has meant more LTE customers than anyone. And LTE customers like their data. While LTE customers make up a third of the company's total base, they consume 64 percent of the traffic.

National Security Agency And FBI Tapping Into 9 Leading US Tech Giants Servers To Extract Data

US Government surveillance has moved one step forward and are now targeting to leading Tech giants of US. According to the Washington Post today via PowerPoint slides , NSA and FBI are tapping into the central servers of nine leading US Tech companies to extract users data which includes Audio, Video, photographs,e-mails documents and connection logs that enable analyst to track a person’s movement and contacts over time. This secret program is known as PRISM but this is not disclosed to the public. This program was established in 2007 and six years of research and exponential growth took place beneath the surface of a roiling debate over the boundaries of surveillance and privacy. Even late last year, when critics of the foreign intelligence statute argued for changes, the only members of Congress who knew about PRISM were bound by oaths of office to hold their tongues.

PRISM Data Mining ,NSA,FBI

These 9 companies include Google,Yahoo,Microsoft,Facebook,Pal Talk,AOL,Skype , YouTube and Apple. Pal Talk is still a smaller company as compare to other but its added in the list because it has hosted a significant traffic during Arab spring and ongoing Syrian civil war. Drop Box is also in the testing stage which is described as coming soon. This information is kept secret from the public.

This program has became a top source of raw intelligence for NSA and serving as most prominent contributor to “President Barack Obama’s daily briefing.

This news is spreading all over the internet now and is featured at Mashable,Techcrunch ,Washington Post,CNBC and more. It has came to our knowledge that most of the companies have denied they know anything about the Program. Google denied directly which states that it has” back door for the government to access private user data “

NSA has always been active is intelligence actives, before also NSA collects information from Verizon , which is one the top network in US. NBC has confirmed from two sources that PRISM exist, and “its a data collection program rather than data mining program” as cleared from Government official. This news is still under consideration ,but we will keep you update.
