Samsung is sued by Apple over Galaxy products



Samsung Electronics is sued by Apple over Galaxy products. They claim that the new products from Samsung copies the iPhone and iPad concept design. Although they use different OS, Apple still claims that Samsung copied design features, the look and the icons. Apple is bringing 16 claims against Samsung, including unjust enrichment, trademark infringement and 10 patent claims.

It's clear that Samsung is the Apple's real competitor when it comes to tablets. Does this mean that they are afraid of the competition?

Amazing LEGO Mindstorm 20 modules



Lego Mindstorms is a line of programmable robotics/construction toys, manufactured by the Lego Group. It comes in a kit containing many pieces including sensors and cables. This guy used 20 GBC modules built by him, 4 modules(screw,sweeper,shovel,pump) based on Philo's. The module at 5:24 based on Isogawa's and the pneumatic module at 7:00 using Linmix's image. Some other modules were inspired by GBC fan's.

I liked the fact that at 2:33 the module is sorting the balls by color. Too bad they are mixed together after that. I was hoping for something more.

Folding laptop concept

This amazing concept is called LIFEBOOK X2 and starts from an amazing idea: a folding laptop. The best thing about this laptop is its compactness and it's amazing design.



As you can see in the pictures, the laptop has 4 superimposed components that could be opened in two ways.


What I like about this concept design is that you have a full size laptop if you unfold all the components, but you can have a compact laptop if you unfold only two components.

The downside of this design is the middle line of the screen. When in full size, a line can be observed in the middle of the screen. This cannot be avoid due to the unfolding concept. But I'm sure you'll get used to it!



How do you like the folding laptop concept?
