The next LG Optimus may have leaked!
This week Fortune debuted a list of the 100 best companies to work for. Google took the No. 1 spot while Microsoft checked in at No. 75. Wireless tech company Qualcomm took the 11 spot while chip manufacturer Intel showed up at 68.
Details of a high-powered version of LG's Optimus G have apparently leaked online. A slide sent to Engadget teases a new LG phone with a 5-inch 1080p display, a 1.7GHz quad-core processor, 13-megapixel rear camera, and 32 GB of on-board storage. There's no word yet on which carriers will support the LTE phone.
A no-competition conspiracy has accused major companies like Google, Apple, and others of being part of a plan to keep salaries artificially low. It's led to Apple's CEO Tim Cook taking part in a round of questioning by the plaintiff's attorneys, according to a report by Reuters. The plaintiffs accuse the companies in question of trying to prevent other entities from hiring ex-employees, which has a U.S. judge contemplating whether or not to award the case class-action status.
It seems Nokia has found some use for 3D printers. Today, the company announced it will be releasing 3D templates and specs of cases for the Lumia 820 phone. Users won't be able to build their own custom case per se, but instead use the plans to print out the Nokia-approved models. The catch? They'll have to find their own access to a 3D printer.
And finally, Apple has asked Sharp to cut the production of the 9.7-inch iPad screen, leading many to wonder whether or not this is the work of the iPad Mini and its skyrocketing popularity. Sharp's iPad screen production has fallen to a minimal level says Reteurs, but whether or not the shift to the mini is hurting Apple is still unclear.
