The HTC One is certainly one of the smartphones of the year and has come a long way towards helping the Taiwanese company out of its financial woes. It was only logical then that HTC will try to capitalize on that success by bringing the same formula to other parts of its portfolio. We already got the upscaled version with the Butterfly S, so now it's time to shrink the design with the HC One mini.</div>

Over the last few years large phones (that grow ever bigger) have managed to claim a monopoly on good specs it seems, which made many (including quite a few members of our team, we even <a href="http://www.gsmarena.com/help_us_make_a_change_sign_our_smartphone_petition_now-news-5891.php" style="border: 0px; color: #4b3c23; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">started a petition</a>) yearn for a compact, but premium Android. The Galaxy S4 (the arch rival of the One) already got its mini version, but that one made too great a compromise with the screen. Let's see if HTC has done better.</div>

Some might frown at the idea that a 4.3" smartphone qualifies as mini, but the truth is this size hits a sweet spot. It has enough screen estate to provide enjoyable multimedia and gaming experience as well as enable decent productivity, yet it still allows a smartphone to fit into virtually every pocket.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-seirf; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
And the 720p resolution is just right too - the Galaxy S4 mini screen is also 4.3" big but the qHD resolution and 256ppi pixel density spoil the premium feel somewhat. The plastic body didn't help the One mini competitor either.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-seirf; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
This is important - there are plenty of mid-range reasonably compact phones already. What we want (and really hope HTC has delivered here) is a compact phone with high-end specs. The HTC One mini spells out premium with an aluminum unibody design and UltraPixel camera with dedicated ImageChip 2, plus BoomSound (stereo speakers on the front with a dedicated amp).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-seirf; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
HTC has delivered the best software it has too - Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean out of the box with Sense 5. The Sense customizations include the BlinkFeed news and social media aggregator, Zoe camera and Video highlights.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, sans-seirf; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; vertical-align: baseline;">

Could this be it? The dream phone with good specs, without a huge screen you have to overpay for, even when you don't want it in the first place? At first glance there are only a couple of things that might prevent the HTC One mini from achieving glory. It has a lesser chipset (1.4GHz dual-core Krait CPU, 1GB RAM) compared to both the original One and the Galaxy S4 mini and its storage is limited (just 16GB with no option for expansion).</div>

Viber Attacked By Syrian Electronic Army

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Viber has confirmed a situation earlier this morning in which Viber appeared to have been hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army (a pro-government group of computer hackers aligned with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
AppleSpot originally reported on the hack that affected the Viber support page, though it was unclear the extent to which hackers accessed Viber systems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Viber has now clarified that the hack only allowed access to two minor systems, a customer support panel and a support administration system. According to the company’s official response, “no sensitive user data was exposed and Viber’s databases were not ‘hacked’.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://cdn1.dailymirror.lk/media/images/sriya-cyber1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cdn1.dailymirror.lk/media/images/sriya-cyber1.jpg" /></a>The company did not confirm whether the attack came from the Syrian Electronic Army, though the hacker group does take responsibility for the hack. Viber did, however, claim that the hack was the product of a phishing attack that was carried out against one of their employees.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here’s the official statement:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
    Today the Viber Support site was defaced after a Viber employee unfortunately fell victim to an email phishing attack. The phishing attack allowed access to two minor systems: a customer support panel and a support administration system. Information from one of these systems was posted on the defaced page.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
    It is very important to emphasize that no sensitive user data was exposed and that Viber’s databases were not “hacked”. Sensitive, private user information is kept in a secure system that cannot be accessed through this type of attack and is not part of our support system.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
    We take this incident very seriously and we are working right now to return the support site to full service for our users. Additionally, we want to assure all of our users that we are reviewing all of our policies to make sure that no such incident is repeated in the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hack took down the Viber support page, and replaced it with the following message and a screenshot of the hack.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
    <b>Dear All Viber Users,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>    The Israeli-based “Viber” is spying and tracking you</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>    We weren’t able to hack all Viber systems, but most of it is designed for spying and tracking</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
