More images of the new BB10 QWERTY keyboard and some details

Several days ago I had talked about the leak of a photo of a smartphone with BlackBerry OS 10 further incorporates a physical keyboard, returning to the classic models that defined the brand. Now at least we now have better image quality and even have a name for your phone: BlackBerry X10. The display also indicates that several apps will be available for BB10 popular as the platform to be launched in late January, which is in only one month.
The new photos were released by N4BB and we show a device similar to that seen days before. As we can see, the screen provides information about upcoming events as blocked, also allows us to view received messages and gives us the possibility to enter directly into the camera with an icon, similar to what happens on the iPhone.

 

When the screen is unlocked, you can have up to eight icons in the same application and at the bottom there pitching for you phone, search and slow.
One detail worth mentioning is that the mobile screen is square with resolution of 720 × 720 pixels.

Apple abandons claims against the Galaxy S III Mini

We're on the last day of the year and likely Apple wants to start the next on the right foot, while also adding a little rest to his lawyers. What do you see the lawyers? As the company has decided to withdraw the patent claims made ​​against the Galaxy S III Mini for Samsung . It seems that both parties have agreed on this and have decided to leave the matter behind.
After Samsung announced that the S III Mini not be sold in the United States, the largest market for Apple, apple gladly withdrew its complaint.
Neither Samsung nor Apple or their representatives have agreed to make comments. For now we are just two possibilities: first, it is possible that Apple and Samsung have finally signed a peace agreement, which frankly does not seem to be the case, and on the other hand just have a little distraction, a pause in the war patent between the two companies to resume it in the future, which is what many believe is happening.
What do you think?

Without doubt it is likely that at CES 2013 we witness the existence of more tablets and phones that can be charged wirelessly.
2-A smartphone with Intel CPU. Several Intel smartphones were launched this year, but none of them came to the U.S. market, but is believed to be possible next year. If so, all begin with a presentation on January 8.
3-hexa-core processor AMR or octa-core. The quad-core processors are very fashionable at ARM, but many believe that it is time to take the next step and see new CPUs with more cores.
4-Most cameras Android. Cameras like the Galaxy Camera and Nikon S800C and run with Android and this leaves the door open to more models appear.
5-Gadgets with NFC. NFC technology is great and is widely used in the new Android smartphones and WP8. It is more than likely to let them see some new gadget that has NFC soon.
6-Laptops with Haswell CPUs. Haswell is the name given to the new generation of Intel processors. Perhaps? Debut at CES 2013 or will be delayed a little longer?

Color wheels safer than normal

The wheels you see in the picture below might seem part of some kind of Car tuneo set. The outside of the tire seems furrowed reddish or orange lines that give a pretty nice touch (depending on individual taste). But the thing is that the idea behind this design is quite practical because, in principle, are safer than other rims.

This does not mean that the paint used for tinting the wheel has some additional property that enhance adhesion is simply a visual control system may well have been implemented for decades. When you see the colored area starts to wear out and turns gray area means that the design of the wheel is worn and need replacing. Much better than the alternative of having to measure the depth of the grooves by hand, just take a look you realize if worn or not. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most practical and, in this case, it seems to be something that is true. From a design point seen in Yankodesign that should be sold in general.

Mice in the future with gyroscopes, accelerometers and other advanced motion sensors

If you look at a desktop computer you realize that in the last 10 or 15 years has evolved almost everything, disk drives, displays, processors, etc.. But there is still the odd item that resists being redesigned, this bag could fit a classic peripherals: mouse and keyboard. Is it because they are perfect enough or a lack of imagination? Apple may have the key to the next generation of mice because it has just patented design.

These include a mouse some elements that are quite common today in smartphones: gyroscopes, accelerometers and similar sensors. The idea here is quite interesting because it is based on multiplying the number of gestures you can make with the peripheral. For example, when you move the mouse over the surface of a table waiting for the mouse pointer on the screen moves too, but imagine here you will find a different behavior in the case of the mouse to tilt to one side or another, if you shake or if it up from the table. You could switch between browser tabs simply tilting the mouse left or right or maximize a window by simply lifting the mouse a few millimeters from the table. The possibilities would be many but the most interesting is that you could program these gestures and shortcuts to get mouse gestures in complex programs with multiple functions such as Photoshop, video games, etc..

Currently only a concept but the idea seems practical enough as to represent the future of these classics peripherals.

Technology 'Virtual Body' gets you into the body of another person

The telepresence system goes a step beyond the odd you've seen it directly puts you in the shoes of another person, as if you had somehow 'possessed in spirit' or whatever you see. The experience should be pretty strange judging by what they say and what you see in the video, to begin around you a virtual reality system based on multiple sensors that isolate you to some extent the world around you. These sensors include a 3D viewer that provides you with images, vibration systems to provide tactile sensations in various parts of the body including the soles of the feet, throwing systems directly to your nose smells, headphones and even a fan to simulate wind and currents air. Literally 'hijack' your five senses, although it is unclear how to apply the taste.

With this system you can feel you are in places where you've never been.

From here begins the experience where you are immersed in the experience of another person through various stimuli. You can see walking down the street feeling the pressure of the soil on your shoes, surround sound listening, receiving and perceiving smells the breeze on your face.

So far it is a passive system, meaning that you just receive a series of pre-recorded feelings but the system seems ideal to feel in faraway places through tele-presence robots that could be controlled by remote control.

Floating magnets move chasing a laser, the possible future of maglev vehicles

If you had to name two futuristic inventions that can be found today would probably maglevs lasers and these vehicles almost magically levitating through the effect of magnetism and get impressive speeds.

Aoyama Gakuin University in Japan have united both concepts to give a curious invention: a magnet that levitates on a metal surface and moves chasing a point of light.

The metal surface comprises a matrix of small magnets. The material on the surface coat is composed of graphite and what they do is to illuminate a point just at its edge. This point of light modifies the temperature of graphite piece enough to change the magnetic behavior of the area, the graphite is unbalanced at that point and move in that direction.

It may seem just a game having fun with these scientists in their spare time, but in practice could lead to quite interesting inventions. Maglev vehicles could be designed which would lead to a point of laser light, either manually or through an automated driving system to draw the light path has to trace the vehicle.

Another could be the most revolutionary inventions, there is the possibility of creating generators whose turbines were activated simply using spotlights.
