Hands-On With The HTC Corporation One V: This Little Guy Feels Great

So, it's time for the next links roundup. We'll be talking about HTC Corporation WikiLeaks and Oracle Corporation

To kick it off, who's been talking about HTC? It was techcrunch.com with their write-up entitled Hands-On With The HTC One V: This Little Guy Feels Great.

What did they point out about HTC? Well...:

There's been plenty of news about HTC of late

and went on to say

If you've been following our MWC coverage, you know all about it and I won't bore you. Instead, I'll just let you in on a little tidbit that we learned here at HTC's New York roundtable and give you a few of my impressions of HTC's One V

Next it's a site that's been talking about WikiLeaks - WikiLeaks Partners With Anonymous, Releases Security Firm's Emails.

They said:

Even with founder Julian Assange under house arrest in Britain, WikiLeaks's engines are set to "full steam ahead."

... OK ...

And the whistleblowing organization has a new partner: Anonymous

Last but not least we have Oracle Goes GA with Exalytics Big Data Appliance from www.eweek.com, focussing on Oracle. They made a number of good points, particularly

Exalytics, Oracle's new in-memory Big Data analytics appliance that moves "at the speed of thought" (CEO and co-founder Larry Ellison's words), on Feb. 27 graduated from theory to GA status in the Oracle product catalog

and

Oracle had introduced Exalytics last October at Oracle OpenWorld to go with its Exalogic cloud-systems server and its Exadata storage server. Although it has been testing for several months with an undisclosed number of customers, Exalytics now has been sanctioned as a ready-for-prime-time product.
