Concept Phone called Nokia 888

Its true if dreams really can change any kind. Moreover, if the dream of technology. Maybe now we can only dream about, but maybe that dream will come true a few years later. For example, it may be found in radio before people could only dream of "whether it is possible if my sound can be heard in the other hemisphere?" Apparently it has become apparent after the discovery of radio. Then the dream again "whether it is possible if my face can be viewed by people in the hemisphere there?" It turned television realize that dream. The next dream, "whether it is possible if i'm in Usa now, but a second later in Europe?" The Internet has virtually make it happen, and maybe teleport technology will make it significantly. I do not know when .





Just as the concept of following. This concept is called Nokia 888. The concept is a phone that can take the form of its users. So the cell shape can change as of gum. Display it had been throughout the body of the phone. Whether it is made from nothing. Perhaps nanotechnology will make it happen .. Obviously this stuff is not real, nothing to do with nokia original, just a concept idea alone .. But it is very likely to be real ..

Compenion: Laptop from the future














The Compenion is a concept laptop designed by Felix Schmidberger

The system contains of a personal computer you take with you during the day (middle), several context-oriented docking stations, for example a home entertainment station for your living room (left), a "senstylus pen" to control the computer and a leather etui.

The personal computer is a slider with hidden second touchscreen. The second OLED touchscreen serves both as monitor and keyboard. You can place exactly the controls there that you need at the moment or have individual styles and themes to fit your taste.















You can tap away by hand or use the "senstylus" pen to control it, and through a series of docking stations the Compenion will adapt to the environment where you're using it. For example, the home dock might have a projector for viewing video, while the office might include ergonomic stuff like an external keyboard.

This type of design looks like the trend for new laptops to come in the future.

Microsoft recently announced a new product called Surface. It allows people to touch and move objects on screen for everything from digital finger painting and jigsaw puzzles to ordering off a virtual menu in a restaurant. It has a fancy touch screen interface and no wires. Microsoft Surface

35 hours of video uploaded every minute on YouTube

When i read the headline of this news, i little bit shocked. i never thought that many videos uploaded every minute.

i dont wanna rambling anymore, Here we go..

Just in case you had any doubts that YouTube was still growing, the folks over at Google have unleashed some stats to prove it.

According to a company blog post yesterday, YouTube users upload about 35 hours of video to the site every minute. That means that about 50,400 hours are added every day. In comparison, that figures was 24 hours of video every minute back in March

YouTube attributes the growth to several factors. First, the company's decision to increase time limits from 10 minutes to 15 minutes per video has helped. It also pointed to the site's file size limit of 2GB. With the help of mobile phones, YouTube said that consumers are finding it relatively simple to quickly add videos to the site. It also doesn't hurt that "more companies [are] integrating our APIs to support upload from outside of YouTube.com."

In a report from August, market researcher ComScore noted that Google video sites, led by YouTube, served videos to more than 143 million unique viewers in July and had more than 1.8 billion viewing sessions. The average viewer spent 282.7 minutes--or more than 4 1/2 hours--watching YouTube videos during the month.
