this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by carbonite what's up everyone welcome back there episode of rumor roundup I am your host John Ranger this is quite obviously the show we take a little Tech over from here a little Tech rumor from there and we smash them into one tech rumor show of awesome so you don't have to keep track on everything that's happened in the week of this week iPad Mini 2 rumors Xperia z2 Galaxy Notes 12.2 and Google is looking to kill cookies not the kind of thinking of this is rumor roundup let's start rounding them up look too early to start with Apple rumors right I mean the iPhone just came out it seems like we should just chill for a while but no the rumor mill will never ever stop turning out this delicious blocks of rumors so story goes like this the iPad Mini 2 is gonna be out in space gray makes total sense right that casings have sort of been unveiled and leaves whatever you want to call it nothing official from Apple but you can see what its gonna look like not surprisingly it follows the same color scheme as the iPhone 5s you can expect a Retina display a 7 chip and we're also hearing rumors that we might see these guys at an October 15th event which by my calculation is coming up relatively soon whether or not we'll see it in gold has yet to be seen but we have seen SIM trays that are showing up in Gold's hood not as for an iPad Mini 2 or for the next generation iPad 5 who knows but say goodbye to black and say hello to space grey say goodbye to white and say hello to silver and just say hello to champagne gold I understand that the Xperia z1 really isn't even out on shelves yet just got an available a a few weeks ago but hey that doesn't stop us from talking about the Xperia z2 and doesn't stop Sony from planning the sequel and it looks like it might be coming sooner rather than later according to a new report from our friends at Android sauce the Xperia z2 will come equipped with a 5.5 inch on a gigs o IGZO display at 1080p and 540 PPI the same Snapdragon 800 processor was already pretty beastly tuned to Z 1 and a 20 point 7 megapixel camera with xenon flash and upgraded RAM to 3 gigs and a awesomely sized thirty-five hundred million power battery in the best part Android 4.4 deliciously named KitKat however all is not set in stone an earlier spec sheet published on the asado forums time the advice would actually support a 5.2 inch display 1080p display at 500 PPI and a 32 hundred million power battery at that point earning over what's better like cupcakes or cake they're both deliciously awesome and you can't go wrong no matter what you choose looks like the z2 is gonna be priests we see one already seems kind of awesome so I would necessarily wait around for the z2 if the z1 is what you want go buy it and rumors be damned bones are getting bigger and bigger well I can't tablets do the same it looks like the folks that started the gigantic phone craze are gonna steer us into the gigantic ginormous tablet craze galaxy notes getting big 12.2 supposedly I was spotted in Bluetooth certification so story goes like this Galaxy Note twelve point two is gonna support Bluetooth 4.0 I also expect it to offer pretty similar specs that just refreshed galaxy note 10.1 it's a little bigger screen which means three gigs of ram 1.9 gigahertz octo-core processor crazy a screen resolution of 2560 by 1600 and the redesigned s-pen of course we don't really know anything for sure until Samsung makes it official which could come very soon although we did see this guy sort of get leaked by our good friends at least it's not Eevee Lee so pronounce it correctly it's F leaks so it looks like it's pretty legit he's got an incredible track record so I don't expect to see a ginormous tablet make its way sometime soon so it's time to say goodbye to cookies when Google isn't busy creating wearable technology leading the world and browsing developing internet-capable balloons and whatever the heck else they're up to and their skunk wars lab might be trying to get rid of the dreaded cookie I'm not talking about the delicious chocolate chip guy and I'd like to enjoy with nobody's looking at me Google might be developing its own alternative to HTTP cookies an effort to improve online advertising of course neither how to make money somehow in there according to a report from the US eight today they are citing an anonymous source because the best sources are always anonymous the new service is apparently called add ID when gathered data the company would share with advertisers and ad sales companies after agreeing to the search giant's guideline but of course no one's gonna reads can be a giant thing you hit that box but suddenly they know more about you then probably your own mother does if these rumors are true though ad ID would offer you the specific controls even letting you blocks mythic organizations from tracking your internet activity through updated browser setting they also say that incognito mode is still going to be available so it looks like the lesser of two evils you can choose what people are following you on and what they're not following on and like most of us you probably forget about it and just let them follow you anyway so expect way more targeted ads so if you think about buying shoes expect shoe advertising this to show up just right your own page without even typing shoes I don't know it's a good thing or a bad thing if something that exists already I'd rather have more control over a bad thing than have no control with already-existing bad things so I guess sort of a unenthusiastic thumbs up me make a family I'm like that but I would love to hear your thoughts see them in the comments my pants region you take a
