Emag a picat din nou de Black Friday




Cu toate ca se laudau ca au facut upgrade la servere si au apelat si la terti pentru a putea face fata numarului mare de vizitatori site-ul emag a picat inca de dimineata. De la ora 8 pana la 9 si ceva daca am putut incarca de 2, 3 ori pagina ...

Ma asteptam la mai mult. Nici reducerile nu mi se par bune, poate la cateva produse, restul sunt cu preturi mai mici pe alte site-uri care nici nu participa la black friday.

Pisica de neagra nu mai apare e decat un blank screen :)

Bafta la reduceri !

Probably the best goal ever? Zlatan Ibrahimovici scores a superb 30m 40-yard bicycle kick

Ibrahimovic celebrates one of the goals scored against England


Sweden captain has perfected his square of aces against the Albion squad with a phenomenal performance from 27.4 meters, which  drew all superlatives from the British  to Zlatan's.

It was supposed to be the Steven Gerrard's night but the England captain has had the terrible misfortune to celebrate his hundred selections in a friendly Oscar winning game for Ibrahimovic. And Zlatan really shone at the inauguration  of "Friends Arena" in Stockholm.



Swedish giant (31 years) was the one man-orchestra, managing all the goals for the hosts and Hodgson will always remember the first failure as coach of the Albion team(2-4). Not so the 4 aces, but especially the stratospheric final execution. Crazy scissors from 27.4 meters away worthy of the goal of the century!

Watch the spectacular goal here:



"The greatest work of art"

It was the first minute of overtime. Ibra overthrew the score 3-2, but felt that the hat-trick was not enough. His brilliant kick was a combination of inspiration, acrobatic movements of taekwondo, class, power and precision to score "the greatest masterpiece in the history of football" as Daily Mail posted.

Stepped outside the box, goalkeeper Hart dismissed ball head. Zlatan waited, made five quick steps to the right, and jump mathematically calculated, floating weightless.

Air-to-surface missile

Of his right foot the air-ground missile launched on the target as Gary Cahill's puzzled his eyes. Ibrahimovic hoped to score. Trajectory defied perfection. Nothing escaped despite Shawcross desperate attempt to clear the ball! Ball went like lightning at the  short corner and landed across the line. "It's definitely the best goal that I've ever seen. Only special players can score in style and Zlatan is undoubtedly one of world best player" Gerrard praised the Swede's jewel.

HTC Deluxe press image leaks out

A press shot of the HTC Deluxe has made its way to Twitter. The yet to be announced smartphone will be the internationally available relative of the 5" 1080p display sporting HTC beast for Verizon Wireless.

There is no information on when will the HTC Deluxe become official. We doubt however that it will be a long wait before it gets announced. HTC can surely use a device of such stature to boost its sales. The combination of 5" full HD display, quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro, and two gigs of RAM is currently the best hardware available for Android.

We are now waiting for the official announcement of the HTC Deluxe.

Reckless man in Britain wanted. Police seek cyclist with a child on his sholders !



Derbyshire Police are trying to trace a man who was seen cycling along a main road with a child on his shoulders.

The man was photographed by a passerby on Monday, cycling along Tamworth Road in Long Eaton. Police said a gust of wind could have knocked the child off.

Insp Ben Goodman said he was "amazed" by what he had seen and the man's actions as seen in the photograph were "dangerous".

He added he would like the cyclist to get in touch for the police to give him some road safety advice.

"Clearly this is very dangerous," said Insp Goodman.

"There is a section of law that covers dangerous cycling where there is a risk of injury and there is a risk of injury to the child.

"It would only take a pothole or a gust of wind or a close-moving vehicle and it's an accident waiting to happen."

The man who took the photograph, who does not want to be identified, said he saw the man cycling with one hand on the handlebars and "could not believe" what he was seeing.

Anyone who recognises the man is asked to contact Derbyshire Police.

Grand Theft Auto: Second GTA V Trailer Arrives - Launch date spring 2012


After almost a year since the first trailer for Grand Theft Auto V was released, a new one has arrived to whet fans' appetites for the latest edition.



GTA V, which publisher Rockstar Games is expected to release next spring, sees the action return to Los Santos and its surrounding areas.

 The city, Rockstar's interpretation of Los Angeles, first appeared in 2004's GTA San Andreas, and the adult-themed trailer shows how the opulence of the mansions and the fast cars contrast with the slum areas, drug dealers and addicts.

 The story is told through three characters - Michael, Trevor and Franklin - and a player can control either one during the game.

According to Game Informer, in one mission Michael abseils down the side of a building, Franklin provides covering fire with a sniper rifle, while Trevor controls the getaway vehicle.

The Grand Theft Auto universe has always been both massive and immersive.



 Each tiny car or ant-like pedestrian that can be seen below can be interacted with, when flying a helicopter over a city, just to name one.

Developer Rockstar North, which is based in Edinburgh, has now attempted to make those character animations look more realistic.

GTA V's game world is said to be the biggest environment ever seen in the series - San Andreas holding the previous record - and includes Los Santos itself, the surrounding desert and nearby Mount Chiliad.
Fixed-wing aircraft return in this title. It was helicopters only last time.


A recurring criticism of the GTA games has been the way the main characters are controlled.

Gamers claimed the controls were sometimes sluggish and contrasted with other modern first-person shooter titles, such as Call Of Duty.

But according to Rockstar, shooting has evolved in terms of both its feel and mechanics, while melee combat has been made "really fun and strong".

 GTA V will be soon released on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. A PC version is likely to follow later 2013.

Samsung's mobile division makes more money than Google

eThese are numbers that are surprising. Thanks to a recent study by Asymco we learn that Samsung makes more money thanks to its mobile division than Google with Android, which owes much of its success to Samsung smartphones.



Google is best known for its search engine, but also for the Android operating system which is experiencing a growing success. Google makes money by selling Android with the license number of telephone operators. Samsung is the biggest seller of Android smartphones and it now earns more money than the income from the Android system.

Since Samsung launched its Galaxy range, income exploded. Asymco reports that the Samsung mobile division now generates more money than Android. Samsung has more than 58 million mobile phones shipped in the last quarter alone, the Galaxy the Korean automaker is well ahead of sales.

These figures represent all Samsung mobile that run on Android. Google wanted to make available its mobile system to all manufacturers who wished. But there is a quasi-monopoly in terms of sales of Android smartphones, to the point of view totally dependent on Google Samsung to maintain the exceptional growth of Android.

Panasonic to Cut 17,000 Jobs

Panasonic to shed 17,000 jobs in cost-cutting drive



Cuts by Japanese electronics company come on top of nearly 18,000 job losses in past business year.

Panasonic, the biggest Japanese maker of consumer electronics, announced a major reorganization Thursday under which it will cut thousands of jobs as it adapts its business to a changing global environment and absorbs recent acquisitions.

It will streamline operations along three main lines, down from five, and said it would cut about 17,000 jobs over the next two years from its work force of 367,000, which is already down from the 385,000 people it employed at the end of March 2010. The reorganization will cost about ¥160 billion, or $2 billion, the chief executive of Panasonic, Fumio Ohtsubo, said in Osaka, where the company is based.

The company, formerly known as Matsushita Electric Industrial, is restructuring to compete with South Korean and Chinese rivals in an industry that is increasingly focusing on emerging markets. It is also eliminating redundancies caused by its acquisitions of Sanyo Electric and Panasonic Electric Works, which were completed this year.

Those job cuts add to the closure of 70 factories around the world over the next two years as it tries to reduce costs and keep up with its cheaper Korean and Chinese competitors. The Japanese consumer electronics company, whose products include Viera televisions and Lumix cameras, said that it was aiming to trim its workforce of 367,000 to 350,000 by March 2013. The reduction comes on top of nearly 18,000 job cuts in the past business year, making a total of 35,000 over three years. Panasonic has about 350 manufacturing bases worldwide and employs 500 people in Britain.

Dacia Logan 2013 - The new king of the cheap road cars !


First impressions on the road with the new Logan 2013 by Dacia with the support of Renault Group.




We've seen the new Dacia Logan on its launch in Spain on a day with heavy rain. Even though the weather was not suited for a drive test, the new Logan is the suited car for the low cost auto segment. We'd say is the best choice for those who want cheap and reliable cars. Here are the first impressions with the new Logan TCe.

Until its first road test in Spain, we've seen the new Dacia Logan in pictures and live at the Paris Motor Show 2012. But seeing it perform on the road it is much more impressive, because now the new Logan has a truly beautiful and successful design.


First of all the front of the car looks a lot more robust with a strong German spirit, unlike any Renault models. The new Dacia Logan is a balanced sedan when it comes to its dimensions. On the rear side of the car a rather strange curved edge appeared, but which contributes to a strong identity as a brand.

The rear end of the car looks ordinary, but it simply inspires more practical sense. But not 100% as we will see later on. As a whole, the new Logan looks serious and even elegant with the Laureate top version, with the bumpers painted in the body color and alloy wheels.


On the inside we did not expect anything else than a lot of plastic, but things look much better than we imagined. Without having expected high quality standards, the plastic on the dashboard seemed of a good quality, leaving a good impression, being durable and honest built, almost every surface is pleasant to touch.

We have to add the complete make up of the dashboard, more ergonomic and well designed. Immediately as you sit behind the steering wheel you will feel at ease. Actually when the car is equipped with Media Nav system, with its big touch screen, you can't even believe you are talking about a low cost car.


The seats have a quite soft tapestry and are large, built to accommodate even big people. There are plenty of storage compartments: you have to note the notch on the top of the console, or the "niche" in the console near the two spaces for the two doses of drinks.

Even on the back seat things are excellent, due to the large interior width, the seat can truly accommodate three persons with ease.  The space for the knees is very good, as well as the space for the head, and the armrests of the doors are very practical, under them you can find two quite big storage compartments.



In addition, split folding backseat is now a great addition to the previous Logan. Not only that: the backseat folding is split, but if you want a nearly flat load area, the seat can be raised to vertical and back can be lowered down. The communication space with the trunk is a little limited, but anyway, now we can talk about modularity.

The trunk has a capacity of 510 liters, with a reasonable geometrical shape, between the wheels compartments the space get a little more narrow but not by much. On the other hand the low-cost term returns to our attention regarding  the trunk lid alone, which has no exterior handle for opening, nor a closing one on the interior.



I hope that this will be fixed as soon as possible as we think these details are more important than adopting a damper for opening the bonnet. Otherwise, frankly, we have nothing to criticize about the new Logan in terms of practicality. Seems like a very well thought sedan for every family needs.

Lets now see how the turbo TCe petrol engine performs:

During the drive test in Spain , we had Logan models equipped with the new TCe petrol engine.


It is an engine made ​​by downsizing fashion, with only 0.9 liter, three-cylinder turbo. It's the first time we see a turbocharged gasoline engine mounted on the cheapest models Dacia, but I hope you not mean by this that now we are talking about a real "race turbo" engine.

Not at all, it's a decent engine, replacing the 1.6-liter aspirated engine. The new TCe has a power of 90 bhp achieved at 5250 rpm , while maximum torque is only acceptable: 135 Nm/2.500 rpm.

Compared to the previous Logan 1.6 16V, which had CP/5.750 105 rpm and a maximum torque of 148 Nm/3.750 rpm, the new TCe  seems less sinewy on paper . But in reality, things are not bad, primarily because torque is obtained at a lower rpm.



The main argument of this TCe mounted on the Logan is the steady climb in gears, making it a pleasant engine. The 5 speed manual gearbox has longer gears, so we understood from the beginning that Logan TCe relies more on a  calm driving style that favors low consumption.

The engine is quiet enough, the only disturbing fact is the  weird noise different than a regular engine, because the 0.9-liter TCe's only 3 cylinders. The smaller engine capacity makes its presence when running at below 2,000 rpm, when Logan moves slower as expected.

The accelerations for the 90 hp engine are normal and take overs at  faster speeds than 100 km / h are achieved successfully if down shifted. We do not know how the car behaves when it is full, it remains to be latter found a bigger test.

For now, this new petrol turbo engine receives a satisfactory grade, but clearly better than the previous 1.6. Instead, Logan gets a very good grade for their suspension comfort and quietness. Can not wait to see how comfortable the  Logan will be on tougher roads but at a first glance, chassis seems more refined.

Obviously, a flexible suspension means and a more pronounced over steer, but here comes ESP, which is standard. Therefore, even if a little over speeding in  curves, the electronics kicks in smoothly and Logan proves safe to drive. In fact, overall, Logan seems safer on longer trips, whether on national roads or motorways.



One criticism more consistent we have for the steering: although it's servo in parking maneuvers it seemed a little heavier to use. And on the road is not as communicative as we want from a modern car which cuts the enthusiasm of those who want to press the accelerator harder on windy roads.

In conclusion, the new Logan seems like a very comfortable car (even extremely comfortable for what we expected from a low-cost car), while the performance was left aside to make room for a greater safety driving impression.

Instead, I was a little surprised when we saw the prices of new Logan. This version of the engine has a base price of 8700 euros with Ambiance equipment, respectively EUR 9,800 with Laureate. An interesting amount, especially considering that we are promised exemplary reliability with this TCe (which comes with distribution chain).

Basically, if you add options like Nav media system (300 euros) package Securite (with cruise control, speed limiter and rear parking sensors - 400 euros) Appearance package (alloy wheels and rear electric windows - 350 euro) and metallic paint (300 euros), Logan TCe reaches a very good price of 11,150 euros.

An amount that is practically unbeatable for a practical car as  Logan turns to be. The comfort level is more than satisfactory and  not least, to how well looks now the new Logan (from what you would expect when you said "low-cost").

Our  first impression of the new Dacia Logan is better than we expected. we appreciate the changes mostly in terms of practical developments, improved road behavior, more decent than before and looks clearly better and has developed a strong brand identity.
