It was reported a few weeks ago that we might get this 30″ beast before the holidays, but it doesn’t look like that is going to happen. January 5, 2005 seems to be the ‘reported’ date that we can expect this time, but it does look like it is going to be pretty sweet. This looks like the feature set we are going to be able to expect from it:
- 2560 x 1600 WQXGA Resolution
- 11ms response time
- 400cd/m2 brightness
- 700:1 contrast ratio
- Support for HDCP
- Built-in 4-port USB hub
- 9-in-1 multimedia card reader

Is this Samsung's Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 tablet?
(Credit: FCC)
Samsung’s purported Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 tablet may have just gotten its first bit of public exposure.
A series of FCC documents published on Thursday point to a new device from Samsung with the model number SM-T320. A diagram shows a Wi-Fi-enabled device with a rear camera. One of the documents reveals other details, including a diagonal size for the device of 240 milimeters (9.4 inches), while another document dubs it a “portable tablet.”
The exact screen size isn’t spilled in the FCC material. But import information from the Indian agency Zauba spotted by the folks at Phone Arena fills in the blanks. Listing the same SM-T320 model number, the import data describes a screen size of 8.4 inches.
Reports have surfaced that Samsung will … [Read more]

I am quite sure that many people have already watched The Matrix which rolled out at the end of the previous century, having turned into a cult film with a sequel and subsequently, third film which had plenty of snazzy special effects, although the explanation in the story has proved to be as confounding as ever even until today. I guess it makes sense then, if the $168.99 TokyoFlash Kisai Online timepiece was part of the Matrix world, especially since it comes with an extremely unconventional way of telling the time, that to the untrained eye, it is seeing nothing more than just some random lines moving around.
With the TokyoFlash Kisai Online, it will come with a built-in accelerometer, so that it knows the exact moment when you turn your wrist. Doing so would see the lines fall away, allowing you to tell the time as it is right there and then. How is that for a genius product? The TokyoFlash Kisai Online comes with a black steel case and strap with natural LCD face, and it will take some practice before you are able to tell the time expertly, so do expect a learning curve attached to this cool clock. One thing’s for sure, once you have mastered reading the time on it, your friends would have regretted taking the blue pill in the past.

One of the hassles of playing tabletop games is that pieces are often moved out of their place or sometimes even off the table. It’s a minor inconvenience at best and a game-stalling dilemma at worst, as you try to figure out which piece should be at which position. That’s the problem that BFR Games wants to solve with GripMat.
As its name implies, GripMat is made of a material designed to create a enough friction to prevent pieces from accidentally sliding about. It’s waterproof and retains its form even after you roll it up or crumple it. It’s also great to roll dice on. It muffles the sound that dice make and quickly stops them in their tracks. What I don’t know is if GripMat makes it easier or harder to pick up paper-thin items like cards.
As shown in the video, GripMat comes in a variety of designs; the ones in the gallery below are just a few of them. You can also customize your order further with tile or hex grid overlays.
Pledge at least $25 (USD) on Kickstarter to get a GripMat as a reward. It also comes in different sizes; naturally the larger ones are available at higher pledge tiers.

Ever since the internet came along, our relationship to libraries has changed dramatically. But recent studies show that these institutions—pillars of the OG sharing economy—are still viewed as essential to American communities. So it’s fascinating to take a look through the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign‘s collection of posters and propaganda from the American Library Association, an organization founded in 1876 and still going strong in its quest to make libraries—both physical and digital—cultural hubs for learning and leisure.

Samsung's $70 Galaxy Note 3 Wireless Charging S-View Flip Cover.
(Credit: Samsung)
Users of the Galaxy Note 3 can now protect and charge their phones courtesy of a new cover from Samsung.
Selling for $70, the Galaxy Note 3 Wireless Charging S-View Flip Cover encases your phone, aka phablet, in polyurethane leather. When the cover is open, you can access the entire touch screen. When the cover is closed, you can still see the date and time on the home screen and swipe your way to other screens and menus. Notifications and other alerts also pop up without you having to open the case.
Best of all, the case can help juice up your Note 3 when power is low. Just swap the phone’s current battery cover with the wireless charging flip cover. Place the phone on any Qi-compatible charging pad. And power flows through without the need to plug in charging cables.
The case is available in both black and white.
