Samsung shows off video of transparent, flexible screen - with 3D so real it looks like you can touch it

Samsung has said that it will start to ship 'bendy screened' gadgets in the first half of 2012 - with the first 'flexible' gizmos on the market certain to be mobile phones.
At technology shows, the Korean company has also demonstrated flexible screens just 0.3mm thick.
But its latest video demo shows off truly out-there technology - a 'tablet of the future' that offers instant translation, video, and a level of 3D beyond anything yet available

Samsung's transparent, flexible AMOLED screen isn't as wacky as it seems - the company has already promised that it will ship flexible AMOLED devices in 2012, starting with mobile phones

This is where it all starts to get a little far-fetched - the screen seems to be able to 'throw' a holographic 3D image so solid it looks like you could touch it. Glasses-free 3D does exist - but it doesn't look like this

The screen has the functions of a high-end tablet computer - and appears to be able to translate instantly from French into Korean

Microsoft Makes Keyboard for iPad

Who needs to make a successful tablet, or even a successful tablet OS when you can just make a tablet-compatible keyboard? That seems to be the thinking over at Microsoft these days–the company has just announced a portable Bluetooth keyboard called the Mobile Keyboard 5000.
As is usually the case with Microsoft peripherals, the 5000 looks smart and well made, if a little businesslike. From the sci-fi retro name on, there’s a lot to like. First, it’s a good size, measuring 355mm (14 inches) long, which compares to 280mm (11 inches) for Apple’s Bluetooth keyboard. That’s not very portable (the Logitech iPad 2 keyboard case is even smaller at 245 mm [9.7 inches] long), but that doesn’t seem to be the point here.
That point is comfort, and the 5000 is designed for notebooks as well as tablets. The keyboard features an ergonomic curve, and is an easy-to-reach 15.9 mm (0.6 inches) thick.
So, you decide: Do you want a compact, portable keyboard perfect for your iPad? Then pick the Logitech/Zagg case. Do you have an iPad and a Mac? Then use the Apple case, with extra media keys for both. Do you want a full-sized keyboard, and are happy to carry it around in your ugly, oversized nylon laptop bag? Get this. Bonus: it costs just $50.

“Optimus Popularis is engineered for any layout, language or symbols: Cyrillic, Ancient Greek, Georgian, Arabian, music notes, numerals, codes, math functions, images, special symbols, and so on to infinity.”

“Optimus Popularis is an indispensable tool when it comes to high performance in any creative field and will be appreciated by designers, typesetters, traders, musicians, video designers, photographers, and others.”

“The upper portion of the keyboard — between the numeral keys and the Function keys — is reserved to display a custom range of the most important information. The Fn key (bottom left) switches the functions, bringing up upon request a set of tools that full-size keyboards usually have to the right.”

Nokia 888

Nooka Zizm Watch

Olloclip 3-in-1 lens for iPhone 4

The Olloclip is a quick-connect lens solution for the iPhone 4S that includes fisheye, wide-angle and macro lenses in one small, convenient package that easily fits in your pocket.

 The Olloclip’s creators specifically designed the attachment to clip onto the side of the iPhone 4. That limits its range–it won’t work with phone cases and it won’t fit on other phones, either, unless their thickness and camera location perfectly match the iPhone 4’s.
The Fisheye lens captures approximately a 180 Degree field-of-view and produces some striking images.

inspirational quotes by steve jobs

Steve Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was the co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc. He lead the technology world with new innovations which are the true picture of inspiration and creativity. iPhone, iPad and the iPod are the best examples of quality gadgets from Apple.

Here are the Top 10 Inspirational Steve Jobs Quotes:
1.“It’s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don’t know what they want   until you show it to them. [BusinessWeek, May 25, 1998]
2.“I’m the only person I know that’s lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year…. It’s very character-building.” [Apple Confidential 2.0]
3.“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.” – The Wall Street Journal (Summer 1993).
4.“I was worth over $1,000,000 when I was 23, and over $10,000,000 when I was 24, and over $100,000,000 when I was 25, and it wasn’t that important because I never did it for the money.”
5.“My job is not to be easy on people. My jobs is to take these great people we have and to push them and make them even better.”
6.“We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we’ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it.” – [Fortune]
7.“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”[Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]
8.“No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.[Stanford commencement speech, June 2005]
9.“I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next.”[NBC Nightly News, May 2006] .
10.“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”[Stanford commencement speech, June 2005].
