Protect yourself from Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The best way to prevent the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic illness is by avoiding your exposure to the virus. Clean your hands often, use soap and water for at least 20 seconds or a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol to clean your hands more frequently.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands or after being in the public.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. Maintain a safe distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community.
Stay home if you’re sick and take help from local health authorities and medical professionals.
Make sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze. Properly dispose the used tissues in the trash, and immediately clean your hands with soap and water or a hand sanitizer.
Wear a face mask if you are sick or if you are around other people (e.g., sharing a room or vehicle) and before you enter a healthcare provider’s office. Do not wear a face mask unless you are caring for someone who is sick.

TSMC to make Apple's upcoming chipsets, not Samsung



Back in September, 2013, we heard rumors of the South Korean multinational manufacturer, Samsung to make the initial amount for Apple's A8 chipsets, about 30 to 40 percent for the American's upcoming smartphone, this year. The news also made it clear, that the remaining numbers will be full filled by the Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, TSMC.

 As today's reports emerge from a Taiwanese source, both Samsung and Apple will not be working anymore together, for any kind of partnerships in the near future. Reportedly, the Cupertino people has handed over the entire consignment for manufacturing A8 chipsets to the independent TSMC, away from the Koreans. The alleged reasons given by the sources for Samsung to not work with Apple this time around, is mainly because of the production issues involved in making A8 SoC's at 20nm manufacturing process, where the company is facing delays in supplying the orders at the moment. It is also said the 'Big S' may return back to partner the 'Big A' for their A9 processor components, as it could be made out of 16nm or 14nm tech, and Samsung has done it before.

Rumors of Samsung to manufacture 30 to 40% of Apple's upcoming A8 chipsets



We know how Apple is pushing away the company's relationship from the South Korean multinational corporation, Samsung. 

 Accordingly, we have heard previously that the American's have signed a deal with the TSMC for the making of their 2013 flagship's processor. But unfortunately, with a latest tear-down, we came across the fact that, it was the Korean's, who was behind the production of their iPhone 5S's A7 SoC's.

 Now we have reports of rumors, that it will be the same South Korean company handling about 30 to 40% of the company's 2014 flagship's chipset, the A8's manufacturing. As read before, the rest of the production will be handed over to the Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). As sources claims, the creation of 20nm SoC's involved Samsung back in the game.
