Samsung U750’s Dynamic Keypad Takes It Two Ways

The U750 is your standard free-on-contract feature phone—except for one thing: when the dual-flip-action display is rotated and folded into landscape mode, the keypad buttons switch assignments (and looks!) to create a QWERTY layout.

Photos: Macbook vs Mack Truck

Even built into the shape of a semi-stiff chassis, aluminum can bend. Especially when it goes head to head with a truck. Thankfully, the bicyclist who was hit was not hurt. (Even though his very nice carbon fiber forks on his very nice road bike was smashed up.) [Photos from Jase n tonic via gadgetlab]

What happens when you are caught making sweet love to a car wash vacuum in Michigan? Apparently, it gets you 90 days in jail for indecent exposure and mandatory drug testing.

Flying Platform – 1955 The April 30, 1955 issue of Pacific Stars and Stripes (Tokyo, Japan) ran this short piece about the future of the helicopter.
