Rolltop : The Future Designed Laptop


Ever wonder what future laptops would look like? Well if you like reading newspaper, then you are gonna be thrilled when you read this article. Even though it appears to be just a concept model through 3D animation, Germany’s Orkin Design seems to have plans for a computer using an OLED.  The screen is able to rollup around a core which doubles as not only a method of storage but also as an A/C adapter as well as a USB hub. The "laptop" has a flexible OLED display that is also capable of multitouch. When rolled out it becomes a 17-inch flat screen but can also be folded into a 13-inch tablet of sorts. I'd like to think that by the time we see something like the Rolltop we will have wireless power, but the detachable stand stores the tablet's stylus, power adapter and USB ports. From what it appears, the keyboard is onscreen and the whole unit can be converted into a giant tablet PC as well.

Payperpost v4, The New Looks of Payperpost !

Do you know about paid to post sites? They are sites that give you money when you post something in a blog. The price for each post varies of course, depending on the content of the post and the blogger itself.
Long ago I joined a paid to post site called Payperpost. Lately I found out that the site managed to upgrade its appearance and made a new version, Payperpost v4.
I personally like the newer version more cause the interface is fantastic. I hope this site gives me a better opportunity to earn money than the previous one.

Google Chrome OS, New Operating System from Google

 Are you eager to try out a new operating system?If you are, then I have good news for you. Get ready for a new Operating System made by Google called Chrome OS. Announced on July 7, 2009, Chrome OS is set to have a publicly available stable release during the second half of 2010. The operating system is based on Linux and targets specifically designed hardware. Google Chrome OS is aimed at users who spend most of their computer time on the Internet.



Here are some info about the Chrome OS.
  • Every application in Chrome OS will be a web-based application — there won’t be any local apps installed
  • You can pin shortcuts to apps in the browser
  • Fast boot times (under 7 seconds) will be partially due to the light environment, but also due to the requirement for Solid State Disk storage
  • No mention of smartbooks; Chrome OS looks targeted solely for netbooks
  • Support for X86 and ARM, so there’s still hope for smartbooks running Chrome OS
  • All Google apps you see today will look and behave exactly the same in Chrome OS
  • Android apps will not be compatible — remember, no local apps installed.
  • Google will work with partners on the hardware that runs the operating system
  • Main use case for Chrome OS requires connectivity, such as Wi-Fi. Google is planning for 802.11n support
  • Chrome OS devices aren’t intended to be your primary machine. Google assumes you have a second computer at home or work
  • Google was coy on device pricing but said to expect prices that customers are used to today. I take that to be around $300 to $400
  • Local user data is simply stored in a cache. The book of record for your data will be on Google’s servers
  • You won’t need a Chrome OS machine to use it. Most all of the Chrome OS features will be baked into the Chrome browser.
  • Interesting approach to security: Chrome OS barely trusts itself. Every time you restart your computer the operating system verifies the integrity of its code. If your system has been compromised, it is designed to fix itself with a reboot.”
