The Apple vs Samsung trial began yesterday, with lawyers from both sides trying to pick the jury in the case while relevant court documents were made available to the public. One interested piece of information found within? The Verge discovered that Samsung is working on a tablet with a Retina-like display, an 11.8-inch slate with a resolution of 2560×1600. The tablet is codenamed “P10”, and looks to include LTE connectivity too.
Late last year reports emerged that Samsung was working on a high-resolution display for a tablet, with the new iPad and its Retina display unveiled by Apple a few short months later. Leaked slides of the Exynos 5 SoC produced by Samsung also reference high-resolutions, with the chip able to handle up to 2560×1600 without any problems.
Samsung is holding an event on August 15th that will unveil a new Galaxy product. Many believe that it will be the revised Galaxy Note 10.1, recently seen to include a quad-core Exynos processor, 2GB of RAM, and Ice Cream Sandwich. The resolution on that display, however, is only 1280×800, but it’s possible that Samsung may also announce this 11.8-inch device. IFA kicks off on August 31st as well, giving the Korean manufacturer another opportunity to unveil a high-resolution tablet.
The focus of the lawsuit between Apple and Samsung, meanwhile, is design and patent infringement. Apple asserts that Samsung has copied the design of the iPad for its Galaxy Tab while also falling foul of several patents. Samsung’s product lead finds the whole affair silly, saying that the two companies are “fighting over rectangles,” and that Apple is “defying common sense.”

We think it’s safe to say that everyone loves waffles – I know I do, but instead of the regular waffle pattern, how about classing it up a bit? If you’re wondering what we meant by that, then the photo above should already clue you guys in! Yup, pictured above is none other than a waffle maker that comes with the monogram imprints that are famous to the Louis Vuitton fashion brand. Now if you’re wondering why on earth would Louis Vuitton make a waffle maker of all things, don’t worry as your favorite fashion brand has not lost it. This is in fact a concept design by 
As we’re sure that most of you guys probably know, Rolls Royce cars are by no means cheap. In fact they’re pretty much out of the reach for most of us. Despite different opinions regarding value for money versus performance and etc., the Rolls Royce brand is indeed a luxury one which makes us wonder how does one add more value to such a car? Well, by covering it with crystals of course! Yup, pictured above is none other than a Rolls Royce car that has been covered all over with over a million Swarovski crystals, with the Rolls Royce logo itself covered with over 4,000 topaz gems. Seems a little excessive but we have to admit, it looks pretty amazing albeit gratuitous. This project reportedly took six employees several years to complete and is expected to go on sale at a charity auction. The car is also expected to fetch millions of Euros which will go to the Help in Motion charity that aims to provide free medical clinics to countries where quality healthcare might not be so readily available.
If you have a tablet at home that is shared between members of the family, you probably wish that there were multiple user accounts so that when the user logs in, apps, settings, bookmarks and etc would be loaded specifically for that user. This would probably put an end to a frustrations felt by many who wondered who deleted this app, or who moved their bookmarks and so forth. Well if you love the idea of multiple user accounts on Android, you might be interested to learn that thanks to the folks over at Android Police who have done some very extensive digging and investigation, it seems that there is a framework in place in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean that would suggest that multiple user accounts could be coming in the future.
If you’re living in a country where the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has not been banned, it has been reported by the folks at 
While the iPad might have originally been meant to be used without a stylus, let’s face it, taking notes or drawing using our sometimes fat and clumsy fingers aren’t the best of ideas. While some people manage to get by doing so, a stylus would seem like a more efficient solution and if you think you wouldn’t mind getting a stylus for your iPad, here’s one that you can add to the list of styluses already available in the market. Dubbed the TruGlide Duo, the photo above and name should already give you a clue as to what you can expect.
Granted that pretty much most of our modern technology these days can be stolen and resold in black markets, there are naturally some products that are worth more than others simply because of the demand for them. Apparently Apple products top that list according to NYC’s Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, who said that 40% of device thefts in NYC belong to Apple. Yikes! This isn’t to say that you should never bring your gadgets out with you, but we guess common sense would dictate that you should be aware of your surroundings. Of course NYC isn’t the only place in the world where gadgets are stolen, but we guess it’s a pretty astounding figure that Apple products account for 40% of them!
