iPad 3′s New Screen?
by Bea June 14th, 2011 | Apple, Cell Phones, Computers, Research
Though there have been rumors about Samsung's new ultra-high-resolution technology being the iPad 3's new display, I have my doubts. The screen itself sounds absolutely wonderful. Its specs go above and beyond what the current market offers. It is a 10.1-inch WQXGA tablet touch screen with a resolution of 2560×1600. Not only that, but it also has a pixel density of 300 dots per inch. Crazy. Talk about "retina display."
Comparing your standard RGB stripe to Samsung’s PenTile display technology, HD is going to look about two times better on the Samsung screen.
It sounds great right? It does to me, and it seems perfect

So Close, but yet so Far Away

Sure, phone calls and Skype can help make a long distance relationship work, but it isn't the same as physically being next to one another.
Back in 2006, the whole notion of long distance technology truly kicked off with the Hug Shirt - fashionably unfashionable, but still a fun concept. Compared to the red circle design they used to have, it is a lot better now. The Hug Shirt is essentially a Bluetooth accessory for a mobile phone, and you are able to send hugs via text messages if you are running the HugMe™ java software.
Naturally, we couldn't stop at

by Jacob P. May 10th, 2011 | Cell Phones, Communications
With all the nice smartphones out there, many people have been looking into purchasing them; however, in many cases they are unnecessary. Truth is, many people don't need one, but get one anyway. If you are looking into buying one, you should ask yourself a few simple questions first.
- Does my work require me to carry a phone? This question is a tricky one in today's society. Your work may not have literally told you to buy one, but if you need to have constant email and web access, you need a smartphone. At the same time, you may think
What the Future Might Look Like
by Jacob P. April 15th, 2011 | Cell Phones, Communications
Of all the companies that would create a cell phone, Aston Martin doesn't strike me as overly likely. They build luxury cars, so why would they make phones? And yet they did. In fact, the device Aston Martin created may be more than just a phone. Rather, it is an Android operating luxury device. It is a possible view into the future.
The device is a transparent sapphire crystal that is sandwiched between two platinum panels located on the long, thin sides. It runs on the android system and is providing a glimpse of what comes next in cell phone
