Apple is interested OLED-screen Samsung

Despite the exception to the rule as a new iPad, mobile gadgets like Apple, and in general all the world's leading electronics manufacturers are becoming thinner and thinner. Most likely, in the next five to ten years we will see the first device, the screen that will be bent - and with it will bend the entire body. Prototypes are already in full walk on exhibitions, and Apple hastens to be one of the first to try the taste of the new technology.

The Korea Times newspaper, citing its sources in the Asian community reports that Apple, «probably», ask Samsung to put a certain number of its flexible OLED-screens. Start of mass production planned for the second half of 2012. That Samsung has made significant progress in the implementation of this amazing technology, which led to a sharp rise in orders for products with its use, as recently said Samsung Electronics Chairman Kwon O Hyon. And when it comes to large orders something, all the analysts in a voice whisper the name of the company from Cupertino.

Until the end of this year will be made slightly less than one million flexible OLED-screens - not the most impressive figure, given the industry a huge appetite for mobile devices. This is a logical explanation. Production of any "futuristic product" requires a long break, which felt the LG and Sharp, have been unable to cope with time Retina-display for the new iPad. Korean journalists believe that flexible displays are not destined to appear in the sixth generation iPhone, but the next year - it is quite possible. This smart pen makers have called them «iPhone Yoga».

Ferrari shows a solid increase in sales in 2012

After the German automaker Porsche announced sales results for the first quarter of 2012, the Italians of the Ferrari also decided to show off their achievements, which clearly demonstrate that the economic crisis of 2008-2009 recede.

In the first three months of the new year, the company delivered the car in its 1.733-expanding dealer network. In the UK alone, sales grew by 31%, the United States can boast of 16%, and the figure for countries of the Middle East - 23%. But the most interesting point is that all new cars purchased from Ferrari, made ​​to order, thanks to the program Tailor Made, allowing the car to personalize to your liking.

Together with the impressive sales figures, Ferrari has achieved enviable growth and profit - 42.1 million euros, equivalent to 17% compared to last year. It is worth noting that the brand new model F12 Berlinetta has not played in that absolutely no role, since the first car sales will begin only in the second half of this year.

Convenient electric bike

Electric bikes, based on mountain bikes (such as the Terminus, and eSpire) is possible and good trails in the forest, but to give them stability on the sand dunes, snow and ice, what we see in the highlands, it is better to use the flotation tires that we and saw in 2010. The company is ready to present two models in 2012 - an added rear suspension to overcome the mountain trails and the second, which is designed specifically for golfers.

Studying the previous model, the chief engineer Dan Hanebrink realized that something was missing. To fill this gap, the eight-adaptive front suspension fork with a double and three attachment points were added to five-inch rear suspension Hanebrink III consists of an air damper RockShock for easy climbing up steep rocky trails.

The unique rear shock, copied from the rear air suspension Ducati, designed to increase the adhesion to the surface. Air suspension makes it easier to overcome RockShock steep climbs. It gradually becomes harder when you drive up, and just as slowly returns to its normal position, providing a smooth ride.

"This is a multi-tube approach" - say in the company of Southern California. "Instead of one or two large beams, lattice frame provides great suspension moves with no significant weight gain. The system distributes the load over a larger area, thus achieving high stiffness, but it lacks the weight associated with large amounts of metal. "

Hanebrink III equipped with a 750 watt brushless electric motor and 7-speed (available separately as 14-speed version) and 36V/9.6 Ah LiNMC battery with a power reserve is 20 miles (32 km). The frame is made from solid aluminum pipe (Aircraft Aluminum 6061-T6). The bike is equipped with front and rear hydraulic disc brakes and switch speed Shimano. Complementing the picture tubeless tires squat 20 x 8 inches on aluminum discs.

Take a look at the following video, where a prototype Hanebrink III overcomes a mountain trail in the Santa Monica:

90 lbs (40 kg) Hanebrink III is available in black, orange or regular colors with a starting price of 6.750 U.S. dollars.

Unfortunately, at the time of writing was not collected enough information on the golf bike models. It was created by the numerous requests from golfers. The model assumes zatrachivaniya rider did some work on the movement, in contrast to a standard electric vehicle. Also, it should be removed, such as the annoying little things problematic to maintain a lead acid battery and leaking oil from the leading transmission.
Bicycle frame slightly modified to facilitate access to the club. It also ensures the stability of your "horse" in the heat of the game do not have to pay attention to it. It is not known when this model goes on sale, but we'll keep you posted.
