Copying? The Apple vs Samsung case

Its all pretty ok, if we steal off ideas and make it work for our personal benefit, but how would it look when some one finds that you stole it and files a lawsuit for it. It wouldn't put you in such a comfortable work place right?

I am sure you all would have heard about it. Apple had sued Samsung stating that most of its devices after the release of the iPhone have started looking like it, violating some of the patents. Apple fired at Samsung, Samsung did some stuff and finally the verdict was out. Apple had sued Samsung for around $1 billion!! Thats a pretty huge amount right? Now the question is , what will happen to the rest of the smartphones that had been inspired by the iPhone and not to mention the tablets. Will they all have their patents checked and rechecked in order to avoid any lawsuits? We will just have to wait and see where this goes!

Glassless 3D - The next step or the next leap?

3D was a technology that was lying around for a long time. 3D movies have been around since 1980 but it is until recently that its roaring on top of its feet. Almost every action sic fi flick is coming out in 3D , with some of them gaining popularity just because of the great usage of 3D technology.
In its initial days, the only place where we could enjoy 3D content was in cinemas. But now due to advances in technology, 3D is now available right at our home. We can all play games, watch movies in beautiful 3D. Todays technology has made 3D come right to our hands. Now a days we even have special cameras that can shoot both depth filled photos and videos. We were restricted to view eye popping content only through special glasses. But now we can do more than that. Special glassless 3D tech have emerged that makes it possible to view them straight away. This has made it possible to view 3D content on phones and handheld gaming devices. This is where we are today. But 3D tech for home entertainment systems where quite a rage and before it could reach everyones home, we saw the emergence of the glassless tech. Will something with a much more immersive entertainment experience emerge before everyone can get their hands on this glassless tech, or will it be a runner for a long time as smartphones did for a decade..? Only the future can answer us.

iPad

iPad - it is the latest mind blowing gadget from Apple, the same guys who brought us the iPod and iPhone.

Apple iPad

The iPad is nothing but a tablet computer which works on the same OS as the iPhone. Its technical specifications include:

* A 9.7 inch display
* It uses a 1 GHz processor chip
* Flash storage of 16,32 and 64 GB
* Wifi and 3G connectivity along with bluetooth connectivity
* The battery can last long upto 10 hours of usage and also up to one month in standby mode
* It also includes an accelerometer and a digital compass which comes along with the iPhone

Tablet computers are mainly aimed at more portable situations than laptops. The main usage is browsing the internet at a wifi hot spot and also document editing on the go. The iPad is very much similar to the iPhone as it has the same input techniques. The only major difference is going to be the size.But still, this gadget will definitely be an eye catcher.
