Had your fill of Samsung’s videos hailing the revolution of the S Pen? Maybe you’d prefer some semi-real leaks of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 itself. Although we are, naturally, unsure of the veracity of this video and image, we can simply add it to the growing body of knowledge ready to be confirmed or burned at the official unveiling … Continue reading
Vital Connect’s newest wearable, the HealthPatch MD, is a health-centric device different than most medical wearables we’ve seen. Unlike wristbands and such, the HealthPatch MD is targeted more towards doctors and newly-released patients, and as such it takes its job seriously: the device, among other things, encrypts the wearer’s health data to HIPPA standards. The company recently announced on its … Continue reading
While plasma technology might have been the go-to technology when it came to making TVs back in the day, safe to say that the technology has since been replaced. Popular plasma OEMs such as Panasonic have announced that they would no longer be making plasma TVs. Well it looks like LG will be hopping on board the bandwagon as well.
Speaking during a media event held in Korea, LG Electronics’ home entertainment president, Ha Hyun-hwoi revealed that they are planning on putting a halt to their PDP production. The question is when, as opposed to if. According to Ha, “We are studying on when we should suspend the PDP business.”
LG is not the only company with plans to end the production of plasma. Aside from Panasonic, LG’s other South Korean rival, Samsung, has also announced their plans to end the production of plasma devices. Once LG quits the business, it seems that Chinese company Changhong Electric Co will be the only one left creating plasma displays.
However in a market where OLED TVs are starting to catch on, we can only assume that eventually Changhong Electric Co will have plans on exiting the market. In the meantime anyone else a little sad to see plasma go?

A couple of days ago, we reported that Casio had an interesting looking camera that could be announced soon. Well it seems that “soon” is true because Casio has since officially announced the Casio Exilim EX-FR10 action camera. The camera has been designed for action so if you wanted something for landscapes or portraits, you might want to look elsewhere.
That being said for those who might our earlier report, the EX-FR10 is an unusual camera in terms of its design. It features a lens at the top part of the camera, and at the bottom it sports an LCD display that can be detached and also used as a remote shutter. In some ways we have to admit it’s pretty clever, but here’s hoping you don’t misplace either component!
The EX-FR10 will sport a 14MP 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor with a 21mm f/2.8 lens. The LCD display will measure 2-inches and images/videos recorded on the camera will be stored to microSD. It will also feature WiFi connectivity so that users will be able to transfer photos wirelessly to other devices.
The camera will be priced at 50,000 yen and for now it seems that it could be limited to the Japanese market, but either way we’ll keep our eyes peeled to see if an international release could be in the works.

Over the past couple of days, we have been hearing several rumors that suggests that the iPhone 6 could come with NFC. The last report we heard was where well-connected Apple blogger John Gruber hinted at the possibility of NFC. Now if you are still skeptical, and rightfully so, another report from the Financial Times (via MacRumors) has “confirmed” NFC as a feature of the iPhone 6.
The report claims that the NFC technology that will be making its way into the iPhone 6 will be provided by Dutch company NXP Semiconductors. NXP is a company that has been known for their NFC chips so we guess it does not come as a complete surprise to think that they could be supplying Apple with the technology.
In fact recent photos of the iPhone 6’s alleged logic boards have revealed a spot on the board in which NXP’s PN65 NFC chip would fit perfectly in. However it was speculated back then that it could be for any other component or perhaps a redesigned existing component and not necessarily of the NFC variety.
Either way all this talk of NFC is supposedly to help facilitate Apple’s mobile payment system which they have apparently been working on for a while now. Take it with a grain of salt for now but do check back with us on the 9th of September for the details!

Google Authorship—the thing that told you who wrote each article you saw when you searched—is being killed off. The reason? People just don’t use it.
Search on Facebook sucks so hard it would be funny if it wasn’t frustrating. Now it looks like Facebook is finally doing something about it, so allow me a minute bounce around my living room in joy.
There’s a commonly held view that kids using SMS abbreviation is going to be the ruin of the English language. But what if all that typing is actually just great practice?
We all know what havoc plastic wreaks on our environment. When it’s not running off into our lakes and choking fish, it’s fusing with sand, wood and natural debris and forming permanent litter that will far outlast us. Wouldn’t it be great it we could make biodegradable plastic out of agriculture waste? Turns out we can.
