Unveiled late last month and currently available for purchase only in South Korea, the Samsung Galaxy A8 (2016) has now been spotted on India’s import and export tracking website Zauba, hinting at an imminent launch in the country. While the Zauba listing also reveals an INR 13,635 (around $205) price tag for the phone, it’s not in line with the $580 tag the handset carries in Samsung’s home country. The pricing information on Zauba, as you might already know, is not usually reliable anyway. Sadly, there’s currently no information on exactly when the device will land in India. source”cnbc”

Perhaps Samsung has more pressing matters to address, and that’s why we never received an official release on the ArtPC Pulse, a cylindrical desktop PC that’s now available for pre-order on Amazon. But if you’re interested in computers with modern art aspirations, check out the product page and consider, well, what it all means. Looking much like HP’s Pavilion Wave (minus the Wave’s more tasteful fabric covering), the ArtPC Pulse stands 10.7 inches tall, and is designed with a full metal body and circular lighting. You also get 360-degree omni-directional Harmon Kardon audio, suggesting hints of Amazon Echo and Google…
