HTC Pyramid, the first pictures and specifications

We talked about the 'Pyramid HTC last month and go do it through the first rendering and technical characteristics always show the preview image to xda.cn.

We're talking about a device with large 4.3 inch display and, unlike what was expected, would not have a dual core processor but a single processor at 1.2 GHz is a QHD resolution display (960 x 540). The source says that Android 3.0 will mount Honeycomb although it seems unlikely that it is considering a version of the operating system designed for the tablet.

The smartphone will have 768MB of ram and dual camera, 8 megapixels and the rear 1.3-megapixel resolution and a classic front. We await news directly from HTC as early as next week.

Apple, Google, Amazon, And Microsoft Make Up 4 Of The Top 10 Most Admired Companies

Every year, Fortune magazine (where I started out as a reporter) comes out with its list of the Most Admired Companies in the world. In truth, it doesn’t really change much from year to year. Apple, once again for the fourth year in a row, is No. 1, as it should be. The company single-handedly created an entirely new class of touch computing with the iPad last year, and is on it’s way to becoming the most valuable company in the world.
Google is No. 2 (although, confusingly, it’s overall score of 8.22 is higher than Apple’s 8.16—it turns out that those are their industry scores not their separate Top 50 scores, a spokesperson explains, even though they are labeled “overall scores”). And Amazon comes in at No. 7. Microsoft hangs on at No. 9. So four of the top 10 companies are from the technology industry. And IBM is No. 12. After that, the list becomes a mixed bag, and even a little questionable. Cisco, Intel, Netflix, eBay, Sony, and Oracle also made the list. Netflix totally deserves to be there and maybe Cisco, but the others just seem to grandfathered in. Where’s Yahoo?
Actually, before you put too much credence into this list, however, Goldman Sachs also made the list at No. 25. Yes, that Goldman Sachs, the one that turned out to be too big to jail for its culpability in the financial crisis and is spending $3.4 billion in legal fees just to defend itself this year alone.
Here are the Top 10 Most Admired companies according to Fortune:
1 Apple
2 Google
3 Berkshire Hathaway
4 Southwest Airlines
5 Procter & Gamble
6 Coca-Cola
7 Amazon.com
8 FedEx
9 Microsoft
10 McDonald’s
