It looks like OEMs which create Ultrabook computers could be in hot soup in the future. According to reports online, the US Patent and Trademark Office has granted Apple the rights to the design of the latest version of the MacBook Air. How does this affect other PC makers, you ask? Well, judging by the diagram provided (image above) you can see why – it pretty much looks like any generic Intel Ultrabook available on the market today.
While the MacBook Air is one slim laptop, it does come with a price: a limited storage capacity. For most users – this is a huge problem. And while memory can be expanded with the use of external hard disks – it does mean you have to bring around with you an additional piece of hardware. Some folks have resorted to using the SD card slot on the side of the machine – but any cards slotted in stick out halfway which is pretty unsightly and risks being knocked out accidentally. This is where the Nifty MiniDrive comes in.
If you’re a fan of interesting looking PC case mods, the White Silence might lend you some inspiration for your next project. From the outside it looks like a regular white PC case with random blood splats all over the place, but a look under the hood tells a different story. The inside of the case features cooling lines with blood red fluid, matching red cables and a blood bag for aesthetic purposes. Of course there are more random blood splats all over the place, but it all adds to the creepy vibe it has going on.
Do you use Skype every single day, whether it is for work as you operate remotely from your office, or for you to communicate with a loved one, where you are both separated by thousands of miles? Regardless, having the latest update to your software is more or less a good thing at all times, although there were instances in the past where Murphy decided to strike and go amok with the latest software update (not talking about Skype in particular). There is a new update available for Skype now, targeting Windows and Mac versions.
Samsung was definitely on a roll during the previous quarter, having hit a whopping $5.9 billion in terms of its profit, although the South Korean conglomerate does have its fair share of struggles to handle, including Europe’s current mire of debt that has certainly dampened demand in its biggest market for TVs as well as home appliances. Samsung’s flagship Galaxy smartphones do seem that they are doing more than enough to increase its lead over bitter rivals Apple and Nokia, never mind that there is a parts shortage which could only mean one thing – it could have performed better, and there is a need for them to figure out their parts availability model with their suppliers.
