It was once said that if a phone or tablet used a stylus its hardware designers had blown it. It was also said that if the software on that device contained a task manager that coders had similarly missed the mark. The Samsung Galaxy Note on AT&T contains what many would consider a stylus and, if you hold down the Home button, you’re presented with what can only be described as a task manager.
So the Galaxy Note, Samsung’s massive 5.3-inch “superphone,” is critically flawed then, right? No. It is, in fact, one of the best phones to hit the market since another Samsung powerhouse — the Galaxy Nexus. It’s a device with a lot to love and is the kind of phone that would make almost every Android aficionado swoon. However, with its massive 5.3-inch display and generally understated styling, it isn’t for everybody. We reviewed it before in European guise, but now read on to see if AT&T’s $300 LTE version of this big brute is just right for you.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was for real!! 😛

When last we heard from GE and its Morpho-butterfly inspired sensors, all the talk was about detecting chemicals. And, with $6.3 million in funding coming from DARPA, we’re not surprised. In the latest issue of Nature Photonics, however, the company’s researchers show that the wing-like structures are just as good at detecting heat as they are ricin attacks. By coating them with carbon nanotubes the team was able to create a sensor sensitive to temperature changes as small as 0.02 degrees Celsius with a response rate of 1/40 of a second. The sensors could eventually find their way into imaging devices and medical equipment, and are expected to cost just a fraction of similar technologies currently on the market. Of course, since DARPA is still involved with the project, there are some potential security uses as well — such as screening devices and fire detection. Head after the break for a video and some PR.

Nice! Good for them! This means that the general public (well, more affluent ones anyway) are pro-green!
