OLED Technology Brings The Flexible Screen

Flexible screens have been in the que for awhile now, but hitting the mainstream market running, has to be difficult. Not since Apple's Iphone have we seen a game changer hit the ground running in the middle of a technology sprint. Now leaders like Samsung are trying to follow up a tough act. At least in the sense of sticking the landing. Much like knowing that the worlds fastest man is in the Olympics, knowing that Samsung has had a viable flex screen created still has to be seen. We want to see if it can enter the market with minimal flaws and show well out of the gates.

Filtering the technology of mass communication

The Technology and evolution of communication is obviously here, and in the forefront of our lives today; but with all new things comes a chance to re-analyze how beneficial they are. The great thing about the next day as there's things like Consumer Reports, Lonely Planet, and other who give us great information about what to do how to go there and other reviews on relative matters. The problem is the fact that we have all sorts of other things to do besides read reviews all day.

This is where filters come in and become very much needed in this huge new frontier. For many of us this will be ket to us making sense of all that is out there. Things like Trip Advisor, New York Times List all sorts of Yahoo answers and review sites, are great but at this time is more about how can we find what we really need at moments notice. 

So once again we are challenged. With time as our enemy - time is never on our side and in the new age of communication it is even worse. What is the next solution what is the next transition as far as how we communicate around the world. The best thing I can think of is to have all sorts of custom filters that are defined by the end-user, us. There are many things coming out now-a-days and I think that new focus can be very powerful in how we end up using the information that is out there on the Internet.

For the last few years the web has seen a social impact online through Facebook, Twitter MySpace, and others like that. These reviews and these recommendations moreover are very valuable and the fact that they're based on a foundation of trust a premise of what we do believe our friends now and don't know this is very powerful in the consumer realm.

Linkedin and Twitter used at higher volumes in one country

Social Media Trending Results

Research regarding the usage of social networking in the Netherlands was put together by a company that deals with media studies. There are some interesting incites that come from it too.

One of the most interesting parts of the research done, is that Hyves is still leading the way, though that is not expected to last forever. If I was Twitter or Facebook, I would highly consider focusing on this market and see if they can win it over. They certainly have the muscle to do so...

Many unique characteristics came from the usage of social media in the Netherlands. In many ways they are unique to the whole craze and will continue to reflect a deeply influenced societies habits. There are many people all over the world that use social media, but I think the people over there have learned to make it a part of their lives at a greater scale. 

With more usage of social media, it was easy to see that the Eleven Million mark being surpassed would lead to attention. The major take away here is that with so many people using it per capita, you find a new dynamic in a social structure. In some countries there are just a small cross section of teenagers and young adults using social media, where as in the Netherlands you find that there are many age groups, thus changing the activity and relationships of families and friends at new levels. 

Apple Launches the White Version of iPhone 4

The all mighty Apple will soon be releasing the much awaited white iphone 4.  

This is a major benefit to AT&T customers and Verizon as it will be released to both by the end of the month. It is quite unfortunate that the white version had to be so late in production, as it was suppose to come out during the normal release. Knowing that consumers appetites have been sharpened to a fine point over the years, it is obvious that this lack of delivery upset many. I myself understanding that things happen, like to give people the benefit of the doubt but 10 months is a little too late I think for even us understanding types. Being that the company expressed its ultimate challenge with producing the white model, I find myself even more confused. As it is just a white version not a new level of technology. I mean now-a-days the whole world is redefined in 10 months.This decoration by Apple did get to me a little bit, as I see that as a comment to passify more then give definition to a loyal following.

Though there are claims of the paint peeling at high temps. it seems far to unlikely that a company would not be able to test that in a week and move beyond that production issue. they have now changed the film material, but I am still confused how that takes 10 months for such a small challenge. Anyways, at the end of the April it should be out.

When, Steve Jobs, Apple CEO,k released the iPad 2 he confirmed that there would be no issue with the whote version of this launch. (Well I should hope not, if you want to avoid the image of total incompetence). Phil Schiller, VP of worldwide product marketing, echoed this with a tweet to the masses. Let's hope that these little things don't turn off buyers in the future, as these details shouldn't be issues for such a giant in the global market. We aren't in the 1920's where you can have any color you want as long as its black...

Women Are Attracted to Men's Uncertainty

A study published by the Psychological Science journal reinforced the reciprocity principle, stating that people like others who also like them as well, and revealed that women are more romantically attracted to mysterious men who are unsure about the reciprocity of their attraction towards them.

The study was conducted on 47 college women with Facebook accounts, who were asked to view the profiles of four male students who had previously seen their profiles. The men included in the study had to decide if they:

a)      Liked the women a lot;

b)      Found the women average;

c)       Were uncertain whether they liked the women or found them average.

The women then had to rate their moods and their feelings and thoughts towards the men. The results showed the validity of the reciprocity principle, revealing that women felt more attracted to men who also found them attractive and liked them a lot than to men who found them average. This proves that people respond to others based on the feelings they receive and give back accordingly. Basically if you like me, I like you back, and if I like you, you probably like me back as well. However, the surprising part of the study was that women were even more attracted to men who were uncertain whether they liked them or not than to men who liked them a lot. It seems that uncertainty is a guilty pleasure for women. The study showed that women who were in the uncertain group were most attracted to the men, even more than women who were in the “like-a-lot” group. Moreover, women in the uncertain group thought about the men the most, which actually increased their attraction towards the men. Likewise, women in the “like-a-lot” group seemed to be in a very good mood in comparison to those in the average group, but those in the uncertain group were surprisingly again in an even better mood.
