Weight:
57 grams (62 Frontier)
Price:
3999, –

We were present when the new clock was unveiled, and got of course also palpable some of it afterwards.

Similar to a common clock

Samsung has emphasized that Gear S3 should resemble the ‘real’ clock, not just be a smart watch. The clock has been redesigned, and according to Samsung will withstand more and have better battery life. There is great emphasis on material selection, and the clock to “feel good,” said Samsung at the launch.

That it has received more similarities with traditional clocks are also displayed at the Gear S3 now uses a standard 22 millimeter strap. Thus, you can go to any watchmaker pick of watch straps from manufacturers other than Samsung.



Larger and thicker

The first thing we noticed when we got the watch in his hands, was that it has been a little larger than gear S2. Not only is the screen size increased from 1.2 to 1.3 inches, but the clock has also become thicker – up from 44 to 46 millimeters. It does not sound like much, but it feels noticeably bigger.

Gear S3 comes in two varieties: “Frontier” and “Classic”. Frontier version should be a more sporty variant, made of steel with black matte finish. Classic variant is in shiny steel and appeals perhaps more for those who want a classic watch. Maybe one that is in harmony with the suit?

The time has the same rotating ring as we saw in Gear S2. This is used to scroll through the various screens. The ring, however, has now gained some new features, which you can now answer or reject a call by rotating the ring.



Ability to use without mobile phone

On the inside, the two variants like, as far as we were able to ascertain. But Frontier will come with the option of esim, so you can use the clock regardless of the mobile phone.

today sells Samsung one esim version of Gear S2 via OneCall, and then you will among other things be able to use certain apps on the clock without having to have your phone nearby. With Gear S3 Samsung has taken the usefulness of esim even further – now watch namely also got built-in speaker. Thus, you should also be able to answer calls directly on the clock, even if your phone is left at home.

Read our test of gear S2 with esim “

We are told by Samsung Norway that Gear S3 Frontier with esim not come into Norway with the first but that it might will come eventually. Here is Samsung dependent on getting an agreement with an operator first, but we do not see it as unlikely that OneCall will sell well this.



Built-in GPS and barometer

A bit of why Gear S3 has been bigger than the previous model, is presumably that the clock has got built-in GPS. In addition, the barometer / altimeter. Thus, the clock will be even more useful if you use it for training. There is also an app that lets you measure the speed – in other words a “speedometer”. Pulse Monitors are of course also built.

The time has support for NFC and Samsung Pay with Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) – to enable secure payment where it is supported (currently Norway).

There are 4 GB of storage on the clock, so you can store as music files on it. If the sound from the small built-in speaker is good enough to listen to music we ask ourselves doubtful – but for quick phone calls or to listen to voice messages, it might work. We did not get the opportunity to try this.



Better battery life, although the screen is always on

One of the really big news with Gear S3 is that the battery life has improved. With the active use of gear S2 holds the battery only one day, maybe two. Samsung promises that the battery in Gear S3 will keep going strong for 3-4 days – and if it’s true then it is a welcome novelty.

That battery life is so much better surprises us a bit, since gear S3 not only have got several functions – but also a screen that is always on. The 1.3 inch display is a Super AMOLED screen that can display up to 16 million colors, and instead of the screen after a while becomes black (like the gear S2) will always show the current time. It is a trait we also find help to do Gear S3 more like a traditional clock.

the screen seems very bright , sharp and fine – and a plus for us Northerners is that it can be used with gloves. The screen resolution is 360 x 360 points, the same as the gear S2.

The time is IP68-rated, which means it can withstand both dust and water. The chassis must also withstand shock and rough treatment, according to Samsung.



Download apps directly from the clock

During the press conference boasted Samsung really the selection of apps to watch , which include fitness apps, music apps and Travel Apps. Some apps can be downloaded directly from the watch, without having to download them from the phone first. You can also download new dials directly from the clock.

The time is also based on Samsung’s Tizen operating system.

We are told by Samsung Norway that Gear S3 come to Norway later fall, at a cost of 3999 million.

Spill: «PS4 Slim» er høyst virkelig, se den her!

For en drøy uke siden skrev vi om at Sony kanskje skulle vise frem Playstation Neo i september i år. Men ryktene svirret også om enda en ny konsoll fra Sony, nemlig Playstation Slim.

En vanskelig hemmelighet
Bildene av den nye Slim-versjonen av spillkonsollen dukket den gang opp i en nettauksjon, men ble senere fjernet. Det var da Eurogamer som hadde fått tak i en versjon og la ut en video som de senere tok ned etter at Sony angivelig kom på banen med advokater.

Nå har nye bilder og sågar en video dukket opp, men Sony nekter fortsatt å erkjenne at denne konsollen faktisk finnes eller om det bare en prototype.

Elefanten i rommet
Det er spillsiden Let's Play Video Games som har fått tak i et eksemplar og de skriver i sin sniktitt at «la oss vedkjenne oss elefanten i rommet, Playstation 4 Slim har ikke blitt offisielt annonsert av Sony ei er den ment å være i salg nå».

Ifølge Letsplayvideogames.com så er enheten kjøpt via eBay. Selgeren, som angivelig skal være en butikk, har i følge nettsiden erkjent at de har brutt slippdato, men at maskinvaren ikke er tyvgods.

Mange små endringer
Det er ikke mange store endringer fra den originale Playstation 4 og til denne Slim-versjonen. Den største (og kanskje mest åpenbare) er at denne modellen er en del tynnere enn sin forgjenger. Slim måles til 264 x 39 x 288mm sammenlignet med den originale som måles til  275 x 53 x 305mm.

En annen forbedring fra forrige versjon er at kontrolleren til denne maskinen har en modifisert berøringsflate som gjør at du kan se hvilken farge lyset har uten å tippe kontrollen rett opp og ned.

Mer brukervennlig
Resten av endringene er stort sett rene design-valg. Blant annet er det gjort en endring plassering av USB porter på forsiden av enheten, disse er flyttet litt fra hverandre og gir bedre plass. Det er en forbedring i tilgang til harddisken på baksiden av maskinen.

En annen liten endring i designet er at de har laget et lite «søkk» i den analoge styreflaten som gjør angivelig gjør den noe lettere å bruke.

Fjernet optisk port
Av mer merkelige designvalg i denne versjonen så har Sony valgt å fjerne den optiske-lydutgangen. Selv om undertegnede aldri har brukt den på noen konsoll, noensinne, er det nok av spillere der ute som nok sikkert vil finne det helt uakseptabelt.

Kjappere kontroller-respons
En av endringene som kan ha effekt på spillingen, om enn kun for de mest ihuga, er at du nå kan koble kontrolleren til maskinen og spille via kabelen. Med det så menes det at all data fra kontrolleren da går via kabelen og kan gi deg noen millisekund fordel i spill der slikt er aktuelt.

Sony har fortsatt ikke bekreftet eller avkreftet at dette er deres Playstation Slim, eller om dette er konsollen som skal ta over for dagens Playstation 4.

But in Rjukan is now capacity blasted, admits CEO Knut Molaug Green Mountain when digi.no rings.

– Yes, we have fully up with customers. To be ready to take further customers, we now have to build out. The process starts now, says Molaug.

Phase one gave about 5-600 square meters of space for computer equipment, and a total area of ​​around 1,000 m2.

Building steps two, which starts in September with the stated completion first quarter 2017, will result in a doubling of the area of ​​data center operations.

the new building is made by so-called Tier III designs.

Increased customer demand is the stated reason for the extension. Previously, Green Mountain be open that they have invested at least half a billion in Rjukan. Now they do not want to quantify what enlargement will cost.

– We do not want to comment on the amount of money, but of course there are significant investments, says Molaug to digi.no.



Background: Pumps 600 million into the data center at Rjukan

There is no surprising development as the basis for expansion. This is in line with the expectations of growth that the company has had.

The plant is located on the Molaug describes a relatively large property in an industrial area, with many opportunities for further development. The data center is located a few kilometers from the power station at Vemork, pictured at the top of the case.

– People who travel up to Gaustadtoppen will pass the plant on the way up, he said.



exploitation of the upcoming data area depends on client cases. It is difficult to be specific, but according Molaug becomes accommodate hundreds of new server racks.



Telling customer lists

In the second construction stage will Rjukan center pull around half megawatts. When fully developed, once far ahead of time, the business Telemark take close to 25 megawatts.

– So there is great potential for further development, said Knut Molaug.

DNB and the Norwegian Veritas is the only customers here, as Green Mountain has exited public with.

– What kind of secret customers is what has drawn up demand for data center services you offer?

It does not want Knut Molaug to go into detail on.

He may extend to admit that the other consists of a number of different customers. There is talk about business, but some of these also provides services to the public sector. It is also Norwegian customers, not international.

– The economy goes straight road

The cost to invest and build data center operations. Closing (Proff.no) has so far shown a significant growth in revenues, but also tens of millions in losses over the past five or six years.

Revenue last year totaled just over NOK 72 million with a red bottom line at nearly 10 million. How is it going in 2016?

– development is the right way. We’ve got a good supply of new customers. Both at Rennesøy and as you now understand in Rjukan. So we feel that the development is good, says Molaug.

He does not comment on the steering towards a joyful break-even or surplus already this year. There we interpret as it yet will be some time before the store goes in plus.

Also the main data center in western Norway will be expanded over time. Where is the area however finished blasted out and ready for use in old, established caverns. So that extensions will not appear in the same manner as in Rjukan.

EU requirements: Apple must pay 120 billion in penalty tax – Aftenposten

The European Commission has concluded that the US IT giant Apple has received illegal state aid from the government of Ireland, the news agency Reuters.

Ireland denies that the country’s tax system constitutes illegal state aid.

the decision could have serious consequences for taxation of multinational corporations in other countries, claiming interest organization Tax Justice Networ – Norway

the European Commission has since 2014 investigated Apple’s tax treaties with Ireland. The amount of 13 billion euros (120 billion. NOK) covers the period from 2003 to 2014.



Illegal State Aid

The European Commission believes the low tax rate that Apple has benefited from in Ireland constitutes illegal state aid because the company received a benefit that has not been available to other companies.

– This decision sends a clear signal. Member States may not grant unjustified tax advantages to selected companies, said EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager.



Apple has its European headquarters in Ireland.

Will appealed

Ireland’s Finance Minister Michael Noonan said he strongly disagrees with the decision.

– Our tax system is based on strict enforcement of the law, says the Irish Minister.

Apple announced Tuesday that the European Commission’s decision is appealed to the European Court of Justice.

– Apple obey the law and pay all the taxes that we owe where we operate. We are going to appeal and we are sure that the decision is going to be set aside, writes the American company in a statement.



Have paid less than 2 percent tax to Ireland

Apple has paid 2 percent – or less – in taxes in Ireland and had attractive tax agreements with authorities in more than two decades.

the American big bank JPMorgan has previously estimated that Apple might have to pay 19 billion euros in penalty tax. Past estimates have been between EUR 1 billion and 8 billion euros.

Last year had Apple to pay 318 million euros in penalty tax after being investigated for tax fraud in Italy.



USA – EU acts as a supranational taxman

US criticizes EU

last week sent Treasury of the United States back hard against the European Commission’s investigation of Apple and other companies, lucrative tax deals in Europe. Americans believe that agreements are a matter between the companies and the individual countries.

Finance Ministry accuses the European Commission to act as “a supranational tax collector,” and suggests also that the EU goes especially for US companies. European Commission refuses on his side for this and points out that the law is equal for everyone.

The European Commission has previously explained that tax treaties between Dublin and Apple is similar to State aid and therefore violate EU reglerom a free internal market .

Ireland removed loopholes in tax

“Double Irish”

Irish authorities have previously stated that they are confident that the agreements with Apple is not breach of rules State Aid. Yet they have removed the loophole that makes it lucrative for Apple to operate in the country.

Multinational corporations have been able to use a system known as “double Irish” to move profits from one country to another, where the tax is lower.

Apple can still benefit from the scheme, the change in the tax rules applicable in the first place new companies.

can have major consequences

European Commission decision can have major consequences for international taxation of companies, argues Sigrid Klæboe Jacobsen Tax Justice Networ – Norway.

the relationship between the US and the EU are affected by the decision, she says.

– We has for several years seen that large multinational companies have organized themselves in a way that makes them virtually pay zero tax, which for most people seems unfair and wrong, but claimed to be within the law. Now we see that more and more countries, and today therefore also the EU is starting to challenge the legality of these structures, she writes in an e-mail.

As the fiber rope is neutral in water, can 250-ton crane with 2,500 meter long fiber rope in principle lifting and used down to 2500 meters depth without losing capacity. Rolls-Royce has basically designed crane for 4,500 meters fiber tow.

A crane with steel cables must pay attention to the wire weight, which can halve the actual lift capability for operations at great depths.

Industrial designers from Inventas has helped to get Rolls-Royce engineers to think outside the box.

It has given a slimmer, lighter and simpler construction.

Max 400 tonnes

According Rolls- Royce they can deliver cranes with capacities up to 400 tons. The crane can be either electric or hydraulic operation of winches.

Cost and operational should fibertaukrana be competitive in today’s marketplace.

Several current customers in Norway and abroad are according Rolls-Royce ready to order as soon as the opening of the market.

Rolls-Royce has over  10 & # xE5; rs experience fibretau in l  & # xF8; fteoperasjoner.

the crane will be first presented at ONS in Stavanger. It is just over a year after the National Oilwell Varco (NOV) presented his fibertaukran during Nor-Shipping.



Water cooling

Rolls-Royce has chosen a little another method than NOV. There NOV has chosen to fast rope vertically inside the crane housing tower and foundation, Rolls-Royce has placed winch and reeling under cover.

Not to destroy the rope strength and capacity, it is important that the rope not overheat and be kept at a stable temperature.

While NOV controls the temperature in the race, has Rolls-Royce water cooling the rope at each turning point.

Brazil testing

Product responsible for the crane, Johnny Aarseth, says that Rolls-Royce has developed an electronic control system for fibertauhåndtering, based on 10 years long fibertauerfaring, including from ODIM, which was acquired in 2010.

– We began experimenting with fiber rope in 2003 and delivered its first winch fiber rope for Subsea7 in 2006. We have developed a model for the control of the core temperature of fiber rope, says Aarseth to TU.

Crane operations with fiber rope is conducted in full scale onboard Skandi Santos in Brazil since 2010. There used a module handling tower.

– It’s a Christmas tree installation factory for Petrobras. Fibertaukrana works perfectly, says Aarseth.



Outside the box

For the new offshore crane, which should have active heave compensated (AHC), the Rolls- Royce used industrial designers.

– the goal was to bring down the weight. Industrial designers asked questions and made us think outside the box. It has given great weight savings, including by building hexagonal arms and not square with internal stiffeners, says Aarseth.

He said the new control system monitors the operation and rope condition, and tells you when it’s time for inspection and repair.

– it may conclude that part of health monitoring for the entire ship, called Equipment health Monitoring from Rolls-Royce, says Aarseth.

Health surveillance for ship sends valuable data to the ship’s operator and owner of the land.



Easier crane and rope – less ship

with slimmer and lighter designs on knekkarmkrana (knuckle boom) and reduced weight with fiber rope, the offshore service companies and oil companies to manage with smaller ships.

– When a smaller crane do the same job, could potentially also a smaller ship used for crane operations offshore. A smaller and lighter crane is also an advantage for the ship’s stability when the crane is in operation, and may result in lower fuel consumption, says Aarseth.

The design must also prevent ice formation in arctic conditions. A new wheelhouse provides a good overview, low noise. It is heated and may be equipped with a toilet, if desired, according to Rolls-Royce.

2,000 fewer attending Birkebeinerrittet – E24

Da påmeldingen til Birkebeinerrittet 2011 ble lagt ut Hosta 2010 ble 17,000 Plasser Revet vekk and lopeta av 53 Sekunden.

I fjor var 14,136 startnumre kjøpt, men bare 11406 sto på start.

Da sa doktorgradsstipendiat og Forska and opplevelsesøkonomi ved Aalborg Universitet, Tor Geir Kvinen, folgende til E24:

– Kortsiktig be det ut til at Birken har Nadd Toppen.

dag för startskuddet for det 24 . Birkebeinerrittet går, I drøye 9600 syklister påmeldt hovedrittet.

Det kan Altså be ut us at Kvinen har Fatt Rett.

Men SELV om antallet syklister are Delta and hovedrittet har Gatti ned, har Noen av Andre arrangementene under Birken vokst and popularitet.

Det totale deltakerantallet ligger dermed and år på rundt 15,000 syklister, word 17000 and toppårene 2010 til og med 2014.

Flere Ritt opplever nedgang

Den utviklingen and negative deltakerantall imidlertid er ikke Unik for Birkebeinerrittet, MENERS daglig Leder Ellevold Gunnar and I Birkebeinerrittet AS.

– wine was at det SAMME gjelder for andre store sykkelritt, sier Ellevold til E24.

They Viser til Raumerittet, we ar Matteo avlyses på grunn BC for få påmeldte, og Grenserittet, we are of Siste par Arene har sett drastisk in nedgang Antall and deltakere.

– Det kan være til denne Flere grunner utviklingen, fortsetter Ellevold.

– en kan være Trender, senior HVA ønsker folk på å gjøre Fritid. Dette vil svinge. Samtidig Tror kanskje markedet jeg har metning in Nadd. Etterhvert are det Arranger Flere ulike Ritt er det Helt naturlig at deltakelsen på hvert enkelt Ritt failed.

Ellevold påpeker at det Selga mye sykler og at Selve interest for a sykle fortsatt er stor.



Fortsatt Verdens største

var det 2014 and 16,200 påmeldte deltakere and hovedrittet, 2000 and 2015 og 7000 Flere Flere enn enn ar. Imidlertid Oker interest for Andre rittene we Birken arrangerer, slik at det totale deltakertallet ikke blir fullt så drastisk redusert.



& lt; p & gt; & lt; b & gt; F & # xC6;  RRE DELTAKERE: & lt; / b & gt; & # x2013; Men  fortsatt popul & # xE6; rt, sier Birken-Sjef  I Gunnar Ellevold. Her Brother pressekonferansen  and etterkant BC fjor & # xE5; networks Ritt.  & lt; / p & gt;

Faeries DELTAKERE: – Men fortsatt populært, sier Birken-Gunnar Sjef I Ellevold. Her Brother pressekonferansen and etterkant BC fjorårets Ritt.

– Ultrarittet og halvbirken Oker and deltakerantall, og ungdomsrittet ligger stabilt, forteller Ellevold.

– vi er fortsatt Verdens største sykkelritt over fjellet, og det er gledelig at vi har så stor The interest dian Ungdom, for at det vi da was rekrutteres nedenfra. Så må det vi akseptere at svinger and Trender og litt interesse.



Stor økning Antall and Ritt

Norges Cycleforbund har sett at Flere av de har hatt største sykkelrittene and nedgang deltakerantall ar. Men samtidig Ritt andre har hatt in økning.

– er det nye spesielt Ritt we Blitt har mer populære. Det Virk are folk vile comes noe nytt, sier presseansvarlig By Erik Mæhlum and NCF til E24.

Det er for tidlig and sesongen til at NCF kan SLA fast om det har vært in generell nedgang and antallet are delta sykkelritt, eller om det heller I in stabilisering, opplyser Mæhlum.

– in grunn til at Noen opplever nedgang, kan være at det har vært in vanvittig økning and Antall Ritter Siste Arene, og at konkurransen om deltakerne dermed har OKT, sier have.
