For those who have been diligently following Apple rumors, you guys are probably familiar with the rumor that suggests that the iPhone 5 (or whatever it will be called) will be seeing a launch in September.

Most of us spend hours in front of the computer, either for leisure or for work. Either way the number of hours spent are usually not very healthy, although we admit this sounds kind of ironic coming from a tech blogger. In any case two students at the University of Munich have come up with an Arduino powered “Personal Energy Orb”, which as pictured above, glows a rather ominous red when it has detected that the user in front of the computer has been on it for too long. The orb measures what its designers, Janko Hoffman and Fabian Pammer call “virtual energy level”, which is essentially how they measure how long someone’s been in front of a computer against healthy physical activity.
A couple of days ago we reported that Samsung had released a video on its website that teased us by saying, “
A while back there were alleged leaked photos of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Those photos resembled the Galaxy S3 quite a bit and unfortunately could not be confirmed.
