Sprint Instinct Full Video Walkthrough

The latest batch of Sprint Instinct vids are mercifully (and smartly) short on the iPhone bashing, instead going for a feature walkthrough/tutorial, kind of like the iPhone’s (sorry Sprint).

Blazing Samsung 256GB SSD Is the One We’ve Been Waiting For

This is the solid-state drive that we’ve been waiting for: a full 256GB, which Samsung says is “the world’s fastest and largest capacity 2.5-inch, MLC-based SSD with SATA II Interface.” Sick sequential read and sequential write speeds of 200 and 160 MBps, respectively, put it in the same speed range of more nimble single-level cell…

We may have a new dream TV. Samsung is set to unveil an 82-inch LCD with ultra-definition resolution (3,840 by 2,160) that refreshes at 120Hz sometime this week. But equally as exciting, the display will also come in a multi-touch flavor for education purposes. That version will run at just 60Hz. Unfortunately, we have no…

Samsung OLED Passport Is Perfect for Secret Agents, Plastic Surgery Junkies

For some reason, Samsung SDI and German company Bundesdruckerei think that their new passport with a 700µm (tiny) polycarbonate data page, which contains an active matrix bendable 300µm (really tiny) OLED display—capable of displaying video or text regarding the passport holder—is the next thing in border security. The only problem is that they forgot that…

You got us, Samsung. We’re suckers for optical illusions, and your "10 Optical Illusions in 2 Minutes" is—even with the Soul advertisement—extremely entertaining.
