LG Flexible OLED Phones Coming This Year

By
The lighter, the better. The thinner, the more appealing. These seem to be the trends in consumer electronics, something that we observe in the latest gadgets released. From laptops to monitors to tablets to mobile phones – what catches the eye of consumers are those units that are sleek and sexy. And speaking of sleek and sexy, flexible displays are well on their way.

Talk about flexible gadgets has been going around for quite some time, with Samsung leading the pack – well, initially. Samsung has taken the point position in talking about development of flexible displays, but recent rumors indicate that another brand might get there before Samsung. Apple has also been rumored to be looking at flexible displays. With the announcement that LG flexible OLED phones are coming out by the end of the year being made, Samsung and all other manufacturers need to up their pace.
The announcement about LG flexible OLED phones was made during a call which was mainly focused on the company’s financial results. As those things go, other tidbits of information are also doled out, perhaps to tantalize the news-hungry public.
Early this year, it looked like Samsung was going to beat everyone else, with the flexible OLED phone prototype being shown off during the CES. We haven’t really seen or heard anything more concrete that that since then.
As for LG, it looks like they are upping the ante by promising us something to look forward to for Christmas. We have to be realistic about the LG flexible OLED phones, though. Assuming that the manufacturer can deliver on its promise, we also need to realize that current technology (circuit boards, etc.) will not be able to handle devices that actually bend. Still, this is definitely the first step to those devices that used to be only stuff from science fiction.
Are you enticed by the thought of flexible OLED phones? Will that tempt you to switch brands if LG pulls this off?

Wind Turbines

By
The Bahrain World Trade Center is the first skyscraper to have wind turbines integrated into the structure of the building.Three large wind turbines are suspended between two office towers. The towers are aerodynamically tapered to funnel wind and draw air into the turbines. This airfoil tapering allows the wind to enter the turbines at a perpendicular angle and increases air speed as much as 30 percent in each of the 95 ft wide turbine rotors. The turbines supply about 15 percent of the electricity used by the skyscraper - approximately the same amount of electricity used by 300 homes. Source: www.norwin.dk

Edible water balloons that could get rid of the need for plastic bottles

By
In case you didn’t know, bottled water is destroying the planet. We know that we need to be drinking plenty of water. It’s important. But the plastic bottles they’re sold in are terrible for the environment. One solution is using reusable bottles that you can fill from any nearby taps instead of buying a new bottle each time. Another solution is much more exciting. A group of engineers from Skipping Rocks Lab have developed a wonderful thing called The Ooho!. It’s a globe filled water that you can pop in your mouth whole. The outer shell is made of algae, so it’s edible and biodegradable. Meaning there’s no need for packaging or plastic – the globes of water are self-contained and ready to consume. Exciting, right? Plus they’re wobbly and they look cool, which is always a bonus. The team have now created a crowdfunding page to make their creation available to the public, with goals of selling The Ooho! at festival and marathons within the next 12 m...
