So Does Samsung Think Its 10-Inch Galaxy Tab Is Adequate Now?

Last week, a Samsung executive was reported as saying that his company’s 10-inch Galaxy Tab was “inadequate” in the face of iPad 2.

The Shaving Helmet Is as Wacky and Stupid as It Sounds

The Shaving Helmet. Two servos running four razors, automatic shaving cream injection, LED progress indicators. It can shave any head in 24 seconds. Why? Because they can. Or maybe it’s just a prank and the guy just shaved manually when the camera looked away for the explanation. In any case, it’s a silly device. [Thanks…
