MobileFun, a UK based blog, has “leaked” what it says are the schematics for an iPhone 5 third-party case. From the drawings you can clearly see a larger screen, and a curved back. The display looks as if it’s 4″ – as previously rumoured – and is an edge-to-edge display, meaning the device itself doesn’t change size. Instead, the display simply takes up…

Do you miss the feeling of pressing physical buttons when you touch icons or letters on a smartphone touchscreen? Japan’s second largest mobile carrier KDDI is working on a display that recreates exactly that “clicking sensation” by combining vibration with a pressure sensor.
The haptic display, which is manufactured by Kyocera, is still in prototype mode. Apparently, KDDI currently aims at developing a thinner multi-touch version before offering the screen to manufacturers of cell phones.

You know, I was just stuck in LA traffic the other day mercilessly beating my head on the steering wheel hoping to die when I realized, “you know what this wheel really needs? A desk more buttons.” Well, I guess Porsche was listening when designing the wheel for their upcoming 911 GT3 Hybrid! Damn I just want to mash all of those aside, there’s also another interesting feature. See it? Look at the middle dial on the left. Notice anything? They all go up to 11. That’s some futuristic technology if I’ve ever seen it! 10? Pfft, this shit goes 11. *cranks them all the way being tearing the dials off* EAT MY DUST LEFTOVERS, HOSEBAGS! “Leftovers?” Yeah, there’s still half a tuna-melt in the fridge — I’m out! *VrrooooOOOOOOOOOM — CRASH!* Oh shi-shi. *fleeing the scene on foot*

Thanks to Bakker, who once tore his steering wheel off in a fit of road rage and plowed into the back of a truck. Ha, and they won’t give me a license! View full post on Geekologie – Gadgets, Gizmos, and Awesome
