KitKat coming to Samsung Galaxy Mega and Samsung Galaxy S4 mini?

A leaked document seems to confirm that the Samsung Galaxy Mega models and the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini will all be getting updated to Android 4.4 (KitKat). The document shows that the Korean OEM plans on adding Samsung KNOX to the Samsung Galaxy Mega 5.8, the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini once the trio of handsets is updated to Android 4.4. That is about as much of a confirmation as you are going to see that those models will be updated to Android 4.4.

Samsung KNOX consists of a number of work related applications placed inside a secure 'container' that prevents the applications inside from being infected by malware and viruses. The applications include email, a browser, contacts and a calendar to name a few. Tapping on the KNOX icon secures the apps and starts the program. Another tap returns the phone to its normal functionality.

Based on the leaked document, it seems that those with the Samsung Galaxy S III mini will not be receiving the consumer version or the enterprise version of KNOX and the phone will most likely never see Android 4.4. As for the other devices on the list, We would expect KitKat to end up on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (which was preloaded with the KNOX software), the Samsung GALAXY Note II, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy S III. The latter three models will receive Samsung KNOX after they are updated to Android 4.3.

Once Samsung KNOX becomes available on a model, the software will come pre-installed on future versions of the device. In China, only the KNOX launcher will come pre-loaded. Opening it up will download the appropriate files. There is also a chance that a carrier bought model will have the feature locked down by the mobile operator.

Rick Otton Reveals The Secret Of Buying Sydney Property Easily As ...

Rick Otton, the man who brought creative real estate strategies to Australia, shares with Sydneysiders the secret in buying Sydney real estate, despite high property values right now.

RP Data and Rismark International index showed over 2 percent growth for residential property values in Sydney last month. Report authors added that home values in Australia?s capital cities have risen 8.7 percent from June 2012 to September 2013, according to a Property Wire news report published on 1 October 2013.

?High Sydney property prices and the strict approval of new home loans are two of the main reasons why many first home buyers are having a hard time getting a house of their own, and this rapid increase of the already expensive property values in capital cities only makes the situation even worse,? Mr. Otton said.

?For home buyers who are using the traditional process of buying and selling houses, this is the perfect time to throw in the towel because there?s no way you can you can get Sydney real estate without making high deposit payment in this system,? he shared in his latest interview.

?Those who use creative strategies, on the other hand, still have a lot of options left on their hands, despite the extreme prices of Sydney property right now. This is possible with the help of flexible payment terms which are in the heart of every creative strategy I teach,? according to Mr. Otton.

Mr. Otton then showed how flexible payment terms in instalment contracts help home buyers get Sydney real estate without paying high amounts of deposit.

?Instead of paying the seller everything at once, instalment contracts simply allow a buyer to pay the value of a property for sale within a certain number of years, but in exchange for that he will have to pay the seller a little bit more of the property?s original value,? Mr. Otton said.

?The 10:10, a variation of instalment contracts, for example directs buyers to pay the seller 10 percent more, so that he can finish his payments within 10 years. This is a great deal for sellers, since they get more out of their property in exchange for a little patience,? he discussed.

?Home buyers should never let the high cost of Sydney real estate stop them from reaching for their dream of home ownership. They should, instead, start applying creative solutions so they won?t be faced with a dead end in any property problem the modern world throws at them,? he explained further.

Rick Otton would be visiting Sydney on 12 October 2013 to talk about his creative real estate strategies free of charge.

Deadly clashes hit Egypt on 1973 war anniversary

CAIRO (AP) ? Clashes erupted across much of Egypt between security forces and supporters of the ousted president on Sunday, leaving 15 killed, as rival crowds of supporters of the military and backers of the Islamist Mohammed Morsi poured into streets around the country to mark a major holiday.

The clashes took place on the day 40 years ago when Egyptian forces crossed the Suez Canal at the start of the nation's last war with Israel. The day has since been declared a national holiday. The military-backed government had wanted the anniversary celebration to be a tribute to the armed forces, whose chief ousted the Islamist Mohammed Morsi in a popularly supported coup on July 3.

But demonstrations across Cairo and much of the country by Morsi's supporters marred the festivities. They and security forces fought pitched street battles for hours in several Cairo locations that now look like combat zones, with small fires burning, black smoke rising and the sound of gunshots piercing the air thick with tear gas.

In some cases, the pro-Morsi demonstrators were set upon by supporters of the military. Authorities said they had arrested 335 Morsi supporters nationwide.

The clashes were the last chapter in the turmoil roiling the country since the ouster in February 2011 of longtime ruler Hosni Mubarak and are certain to set back efforts by the government to revive the economy, especially the vital tourism sector, and bring order to the streets of Cairo, where crime and lawlessness have been rife.

The scene of the fighting contrasted sharply with a carnival-like mood in Cairo's central Tahrir Square, where thousands of supporters of the military waved Egyptian flags, blew whistles and touted posters of army chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi. Adding to the festivities, a military band in green jackets and off white pants played, and men spun in whirling dervish-style dances.

Thousands of Morsi backers meanwhile held marches around the city, shouting slogans against el-Sissi as some headed toward Tahrir in hopes of forcing their way into the sprawling plaza.

At central locations including a southern entrance to the square, police fired into the air and lobbed tear gas to push back several pro-Morsi marches as they approached. Some of the dead however suffered gunshot wounds to the head and chest and the pro-Morsi demonstrators were also lobbing firebombs and firing birdshots at the police.

An Associated Press photographer saw nine bodies lying on the floor of a clinic in the Dokki area, where heavy clashes took place. Most had gunshot wounds to the head and chest.

Soldiers barricaded entrances to Tahrir with barbed wire and armored personnel vehicles. Metal detectors were installed at the entrances and demonstrators pouring into the square were searched by troops.

"The people have one demand: Remove el-Sissi and the president," Islamist protesters chanted, referring to the interim president installed after Morsi's fall.

Violence was also reported in southern Egypt, where one Morsi supporter was killed in the town of Dalga. Police opened fire on a march by Islamists after some of the protesters fired birdshot at the police, according to the provincial security chief, Osama Metwali.

Microsoft Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 ?close to selling out?

?

The new Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 tablets may soon be hard to come by, as Microsoft said its slates are selling out.

Microsoft has recently launched its second-generation Surface tablets to a rather skeptic crowd, as its first-generation slates did not exactly fly off the shelves. The Surface RT in particular was not well-received at all, dealing a pretty heavy blow to the company's finances.

Follow us

The company hoped to turn things around with the new Windows RT-based Surface 2 and the Surface Pro 2, which runs the full-fledged version of Windows. According to Microsoft's latest announcement, things seem to be turning out well so far.

"Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 are close to selling out," tweeted the company on Friday, Oct. 4.

It remains unclear at this point just how many tablets Microsoft made (and sold) and what that "close to selling out" really means. The company did not provide any additional details.

The Microsoft Store online indeed shows some shipping delays for the new Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2, which usually indicates high demand. The 32GB version of the Surface 2 will ship by Oct. 29, while the 64GB model will ship from Oct. 25. The Surface Pro 2, meanwhile, should ship in 64GB and 128GB configurations by Oct. 21, while the 256GB and 512GB should ship by Oct. 29.

Microsoft faces some tough competition on the crowded tablet market, which is mostly dominated by the iPad and tablets running on Google's Android operating system. Consumers still seem more drawn to the iOS and Android platforms rather than Windows 8 and Windows RT, but the new-generation Surface tablets seem to be pushing in the right direction.

The first-generation Surface tablets that launched last year marked Microsoft's first foray into the tablet market with its own-brand hardware, but the company seems to have learned plenty since then and is now trying again with improved specs and features.

For those unfamiliar with the new tablets, the Surface 2 runs the stripped-down version of Windows 8 called Windows RT, but sports better specs than the original Surface RT. The Surface Pro 2, meanwhile, is marketed as a slate that offers a full laptop experience in a tablet package. The two tablets went up for pre-order on Sept. 24 and will hit stores on Oct. 22. If Microsoft's tweet is any indication, interested buyers might want to hurry while the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 are still in stock.?

Prep football: Warriors fall to Ironmen

VINCENT - Locked in a close ballgame, there comes a time when the defense simply has to get a stop.

If it doesn't, then that close ball game quickly becomes not quite so close.

Such was the case for the Warren Warriors, who watched the Jackson Ironmen pound out 407 yards rushing to pull away for a 35-20 win in Vincent Friday night, spoiling homecoming for the Warriors.

Warren quarterback Austin Klintworth (12) gets dropped for a loss by Jackson's Reagan Williams (6) during the first quarter of a football game in Vincent Friday night. Jackson beat Warren 35-20.

Warren's Gunnar Smith (66) makes a tackle on Jackson's Derek Rafferty (2) as the Warriors' David Rowland (62) closes in during the first quarter of a football game in Vincent Friday night. Rafferty was injured on the play and did not return as the Ironmen beat Warren 35-20.

"It's typical Jackson football. They're good at what they do," said Warren football coach Andy Schob. "We just weren't physically good enough to beat them."

On four different occasions the Ironmen had the ball leading by just a single score.

And every time they put the ball in the endzone to go just one step further away from the Warriors.

"You've got to find a way to stop the run," Schob said. "It wasn't the kids weren't trying. We just physically could not stop them."

Despite an offense that punted just once in the entire game - that coming after an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty negated a first down - the Ironmen couldn't get away from the Warriors.

Managing just 61 yards of total offense in the first half and a meager 159 for the game, the Warriors none-the-less kept pace with the Ironmen, as it wasn't until the fourth quarter Jackson got a two-score lead.

The Ironmen got the scoring started on their second possession from scrimmage, making use of reserve running backs when starter Derek Rafferty went down with an apparent knee injury on his first carry of the game.

All those backup backs did was run for 113, 126 and 73 yards respectively while combining for five touchdowns.

"We pretty much went to a goal line and they were still driving our kids (off the line of scrimmage)," Schob said.

The scoring started with Johnny Farley finding the endzone from 14 yards out with 2:18 to play in the first quarter.

Warren answered the Jackson score, thanks to 20 yards in penalties assessed against the Ironmen on the ensuing possession and capitalized when quarterback Austin Klintworth connected with David Ryan on a 25-yard touchdown pass.

That 25-yard strike accounted for nearly half the offense mustered by the Warriors in the first half of play, but despite their inability to move downfield Warren never trailed by more than eight points in the first half.

Trailing 7-6, the Warriors could have gained an opportunity to take the lead, but watched the Ironmen turn to their ground game to cover 80 yards on six plays, with Farley again finding the endzone, this time from 15 yards out, to make the score 14-6 with 7:25 in the opening half.

Jackson nearly took a 17-6 advantage into the break, but Ironman kicker Jimmy Voiles attempt at a 42-yard field goal was blocked by the Warrior defense, and Jake Powell returned the block all the way to the endzone. That touchdown was negated by an illegal block against the Warriors, and deja vu struck again.

Attempting a 22-yard field goal after the penalty was assessed, the Warriors' kick was blocked by the Ironmen, but Warren kicker Alex Miller, who also stars on the soccer team, scooped up the ball and raced 15 yards into the endzone to set the halftime score 14-12 in favor of Jackson.

"It was a good play. I'm sure he (Miller) is excited. He's a great athlete. Unfortunately we can only use him to kick, or the soccer coach would kill me," Schob laughed.

Down by two, the Warriors stalled on their first possession to open the second half and the Ironmen answered, going 77 yards on seven plays with Jake Crabtree getting into the endzone from 24 yards out with 5:27 to play in the third quarter.

Jackson tallied another touchdown following Warren's second stalled drive of the quarter, with Gabe Griffiths finding the endzone from 11 yards out with 10:50 in regulation.

The Warrior offense discovered a spark of life in the second half behind tailback Jared Isner, who returned from an injury to pick up 57 yards on nine carries, accounting for all but 17 of Warren's rushing yardage.

Isner's 27 yard run set up the final score of the game for the Warriors, as Klintworth again connected with Ryan to make the score 28-20 with 7:50 to play in the game.

Rather than stopping the Jackson offense, the Warrior defense saw the Ironmen run over four minutes off the clock on nine plays as Griffiths scored from 21 yards out to set the final margin.

Overall, the Ironmen held a 407 to 74 advantage on the ground, and 443 to 159 advantage in total offense as they improved their record to 3-3 on the season while the Warriors fell to 2-4.

"When they can play their game, they're really good," Schob said.

Florida Panthers (1-0-0) at St. Louis Blues (1-0-0), 8 p.m. (ET)

(SportsNetwork.com) - The St. Louis Blues hope to have some more early jump in their skates on Saturday night as they continue their season-opening homestand with a matchup against the Florida Panthers.

The Blues exploded out of the gate on Thursday in a 4-2 win over the Nashville Predators, scoring three times in the first half of the opening period. David Backes got it started 2:05 into the contest on the power play before Vladimir Sobotka and T.J. Oshie added goals on St. Louis' first six shots of the game.

Nashville did score twice to get within a goal, but Alex Steen provided more cushion with another power-play goal.

"You have to score on the power play if you want to win hockey games," said Alex Pietrangelo, who finished with two assists. "You have to take advantage of that extra guy."

Jaroslav Halak stopped 28-of-30 shots for the victory.

"It was pretty ideal the first 10 minutes," said Backes. "I don't know if we got complacent, but we played pretty well that first 10 and maybe took a step back. They're a team that just keeps coming at you. They found a couple and kind of woke us up again where we had to focus on playing our style of hockey. The result we love."

The Panthers should also be happy with the result of their season opener, a 4-2 road win over the Dallas Stars.

Playing in his first game since April of 2012, Tim Thomas made 25 saves in his Panthers debut. The two-time Vezina winner and one-time Conn Smythe recipient had taken a leave of absence from the league last year.

Thomas is looking to provide a boost to a Panthers club that finished dead last in the league a season ago.

"That was a big difference for us," said Florida head coach Kevin Dineen about Thomas. "He was a guy that stood up and made the saves when he needed to and that's what we're going to need."

Aleksander Barkov, selected with the second overall pick of the 2013 draft, scored in his NHL debut, while Marcel Goc had the game-winner with 4:55 to go before adding an empty-net tally. Scott Gomez also scored.

Florida has road games against Philadelphia and Tampa Bay up next before its home opener on Oct. 11 versus Pittsburgh.

The Blues have won seven of their past 11 against the Panthers, including the last two encounters.

St. Louis is 9-3-0 with a tie all-time versus Florida at home.
