What is the US HIRE Bill and why is India’s $250-billion IT sector worried? Is the internet dead? What's this theory that OpenAI's Sam Altman says might be true?

In the image, the smartphone does look a lot like the Galaxy S III. Yesterday a Chinese blog had leaked pictures of the Galaxy S IV with a dual-SIM variant and the top of the smartphone (tweeted out by Samsung) does look similar to the leaked pictures.

The Chinese blog has also put put a purported video of the Samsung Galaxy S IV. You can watch video below. In the video the device has 5-inch screen along with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI. The author of this video played the Apple promo for the iPad mini in the background, taking a cheap pot shot at the Apple vs Samsung battle.

Samsung has also released a part two of the teaser video series for the Galaxy S IV with the annoying Jeremy returning. He does take a peek at the phone and talks about how its in his favourite colour. We don’t care, Jeremy, we just don’t about you. The phone, yeah sure.
