Samsung Galaxy S4 Active coming to AT&T June 21st for $199.99, pre-orders begin tomorrow Mobile

It appears that we were spot-on about yesterday's teaser, as AT&T has officially unveiled the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active this morning. Available in stores or online starting June 21st, you'll be able to grab one of your very own for $199.99 on a two-year commitment. As we mentioned yesterday, the "life-proof" IP67-certified handset will come in Dive Blue (pictured above) and Urban Gray; there's no mention of Flame Orange, sadly. As a recap, the Active features Android 4.2, a 1.9GHz quad-core processor, a 5-inch 1080p TFT LCD panel, microSD slot with support for up to 64GB, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage (no word on how much is user-accessible), a 2,600mAh battery and an 8MP rear camera with 2MP front-facing cam. Dimension-wise, the Active measures at 139.65 x 71.25 x 9.1mm and weighs 5.29 ounces (150g) -- not too shabby for a tough device.

While AT&T acknowledged that the device shouldn't be considered "rugged," it's still technically a durable smartphone that takes advantage of a sealed water-resistant cover which will protect the phone in up to one meter of H2O for thirty minutes, and even features a special camera setting called Aqua Mode which is designed to let you take some nifty underwater shots. If you're eager to get the sales process started as soon as possible, AT&T will be offering pre-orders of the device beginning tomorrow.

JVC unveils $18,000 4K interchangeable lens camcorder with Nikon F-mount

Lovers of 4K and Nikon glass, rejoice: JVC has just launched a 4K large-sensor camcorder that will use Nikon F-mount lenses. The JY-HMQ30 camera will operate in manual focus mode only -- even with AF glass -- though f-stop settings will be controllable in-camera for modern lenses with no aperture ring. As with the company's fixed lens GY-HMQ10, the interchangeable model will record AVC/H.264 4K video at up to 60 fps onto four separate SDHC cards, each capturing an HD-sized quadrant with a total maximum data rate of 144Mbps -- and also capture 1080/60p video at 28Mbps onto a single card. Other features include a JVC 4K clip manager that'll convert files to Apple's ProRes422 codec, live 4K, 60 fps output to a monitor or portable recorder, 4K time-lapse recording, a focus assist function and stereo XLR microphone inputs. Though the company's taking orders for the 1.7 million yen ($18,000) camera starting today in Japan, there's no word yet on availability or pricing stateside -- but you can probably start polishing up those Nikon lenses soon.

Sony Xperia ZU specs reportedly leak: 6.44-inch display, 2.2GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, 8MP camera and 3,000mAh battery Mobile

Given the quantity of rumors that are floating around, it's hard to think that we won't be seeing a Sony phablet intermediate-size phone/tablet device in the near future. One of the folks over at ePrice is claiming that the Xperia ZU (for "Ultra") will come with a 6.44-inch, 1,920 x 1,080 IPS LCD display with a pixel density of 342ppi. Internals-wise, it's said to run a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 with 2GB RAM, 16GB storage and a 64GB microSD card slot, as well as a 3,000mAh non-removable battery. On the imaging front, there's a 8-megapixel Exmor RS sensor primary camera and a 1.3-megapixel Exmor R up front. The same tipster let slip that the ZU won't come with a stylus, but will be receptive to third-party styluses and should arrive on June 25th, so we'll be waiting for an invite to Sony's July 4th Paris launch with bated breath.

Forex

Qu'est-ce-que le Forex?
Le Forex est le marché des devises, des changes entre les principales monnaies du monde entier.A l'origine c'était un marché réservés aux professionnels de la finances comme les courtiers, les banques d'affaire, les traders, où les lots étaient très importants (minimum 1000€).Avec le développement d'internet et de ses facilités de communication, le forex s' est énormément démocratisé; les cours en temps réel ainsi que les mises d'entrée beaucoup plus faibles, ont permis aux particuliers de s'attaquer à ce système de trading..Concrètement, comment ça fonctionne?
Pour pouvoir faire ses premiers pas dans le trading des devises, il faut s'inscrire sur une plateforme spécialisée comme ECMarkets par exemple, effectuer son 1er dépot, afin de se constituer un capital et commencer à le rentabiliser.Ensuite grâce à votre analyse de l'actualité économique, des indices financiers et des conseils de traders que vous pouvez obtenir sur la plateforme ou sur des sites spécialisés, vous pourrez acheter vos 1ers lots.C'est donc la succession d'achats et de ventes de lots qui vous permettront le cas échéant de faire des profits.Il faut savoir que la plateforme n'est pas partie prenante dans votre espérance de gains, elle se rémunère uniquement en fonction des transactions que vous faites (spread).C'est un gage de neutralité.Comment spéculer avec le Forex?
Comme nous l'avons vu, les principales valeurs financières de trading sont les devises.Ce sont les variations à la hausse ou à la baisse des changes sur les monnaies du monde entier qui vous permettront de faire éventuellement des profits.Les principales paires (c'est que l'on nomme les changes de monnaie) sont EUR/USD (euro/dollar US), EUR/GBP (euro/livre sterling), CHF/EUR (franc suisse/EUR).Les bourses du monde entier (Asie, Amérique, Europe) influent sur le cours des devises, c'est pour cela que les cotations ont lieu 24h/ 24 et 6 jours/7.Par extension, les plateformes de trading offrent la possibilité de spéculer sur le cours des principales matières premières, et des actions de sociétés de taille mondiale.Cependant le terme Forex est resté quand on parle de plateformes pour les non-professionnels.
