Featured Articles In Europe, how citizens shop and pay is radically changing. From debit cards to mobile phones, Europeans are deploying variety of electronic technologies to make payments when traveling, buying groceries, making online payments or purchasing tickets. Both job seekers and job holders seem more optimistic about their prospects for work, according to a new study from the folks at company review site Glassdoor. Google is once again in trouble over AdWord adverts being used on the company's search engine. According to the BBC, Google was displaying a sponsored 2012 Olympic Games ticket ad that was supposed to allow users to buy two tickets to the games. However, instead of a ticket users were getting ripped off. Samsung has presented its Optical Smart Hub which has many features - including those for backing up and accessing media files - operating on diverse devices. Royalty payments for GSM, WCDMA, and LTE technology on mobile devices are about to reach the $20 billion mark according to a new report released by ABI Research.

When it comes to the tablet market, it appears that Dell has taken the approach of "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Last year, Dell released a tablet model known as the Streak. The Android based Streak 5 and Streak 7 were so unpopular that they were quickly taken off the market. While the sheer number of Android based tablets that have come and gone is astounding, there is no shortage of companies that are willing to give it another go. Dell appears to be another in a long line of companies that believe sooner or later they will get a tablet out there that can gain some traction. Just like last year, TV manufacturers are making all the noise at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. For their sake, let's hope all the talk translates into more sales than it did a year ago. South Korean electronics giants LG and Samsung each unveiled a few similar offerings on the eve of this year's show, including a new line of high-end smart televisions built with microphones and speech recognition software.
