Xperia Link app now available â tethers a tablet to your Xperia phone Xperia Link app now available – tethers a tablet to your Xperia phone. The Xperia Link application, which we previously reported on at the end of August, has now been released onto the Google Play Store. The app is designed to easily tether your Sony tablet with your Sony Xperia smartphone to receive an internet connection. We’re still not sure of the benefits of this dedicated app versus using the ‘Portable Wi-Fi hotspot’ feature. To use Xperia Link you will need to make sure the app is on both the tablet and phone. The link can be remotely turned on and off from the tablet directly, without using the phone. However, Bluetooth needs to always be on during use for this work. See a video of it in action below.

Why Crimea is so dangerous The peninsula of Crimea in southern Ukraine is at the centre of what is being seen as the biggest crisis between Russia and the West since the Cold War.ussia has been the dominant power in Crimea for most of the past 200 years, since it annexed the region in 1783. But it was transferred by Moscow to Ukraine-then part of the Soviet Union-in 1954. Some ethnic Russians see that as a historical wrong.

Why Ukraine Is Such A Big Deal For Russia More than half of its 2 million people are Russian, and Russia still maintains a naval base there. In fact, the region was part of Russia until 1954, when Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev gave it to Ukraine as a present. When the Soviet Union broke up in 1991, Crimea became part of an independent Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians work in Russia, and according to the EU-funded Migration Policy Centre, the Russia-Ukraine border is the second-largest migration corridor in the world.

Crimea crisis quickens Nato's steps In terms of the gravity of the military situation on Ukraine's frontier, Nato has been rather more forthright about what it is seeing. Nato's top military man in Europe, General Philip Breedlove, says that some 40,000 Russian soldiers are still massed near Russia's border with Ukraine. Nato, he insists, has not seen any significant pull-back. But it is the high level of readiness of these troops that is most alarming Nato leaders.

"Why are the so-called ""rebels"" in Donbass, Ukraine willing to fight with weapons to their death and kill their compatriots just to avoid joining the EU?" Ukraine is indeed on path to join the EU. The EU-Ukraine association plan has been voted for by all EU members with lopsided margins, and an overwhelming majority of Ukrainians support the plan. The fighting in E.Ukraine was started by Russian citizens, with Russian weapons, by their own public admission. They themselves complained that the locals did not want to fight, even when being paid. A fairly large number of Russians have rotated through E.Ukraine (their veterans union numbered well over 50K people in mid 2015), and thousands died there.
