Flex iPhone concept !

Designer Fabrice Bardon almost had us thinking that was an unusual iPhone, but then we spotted the Sony Ericsson branding on the device's pictures. Dubbed the Flex iPhone, this handset has nothing in common with Apple's cellphone, but a lot in common with the future and modern devices.

We're dealing with a phone with modern design, thanks to a flexible body, a touch keypad, LCD screen and a shape that reminds us of the older communication devices. Well, the Flex iPhone looks nifty, but let's hope the material it's based on is not as fragile as the pics make it seem...

Google says that not anywhere else in Europe $80M French Publishers’ Fund replicated- Easy

Google says that outside the France it is not presently looking create any funds to support the digital pulishers.The head of the European publisher council have follow calls Google's comments last week by Francisco Pinto Balsemaoto pay media companies across Europe for their content displaying for Mountain View.

From several years ,in Europe courtrooms Google had been fighting ,in France and Belgium with publishers to bringing out the copyright cases against aggregating and displaying snippets of content in the result searching and on services such as its Google News aggregator.

To support French publishers' digital initiatives Google announced a 60 million ($80.5 million) fund earlier this month.it had also settled the local copyright dispute by announcing at the same time. However not anywhere else in Europe the company had confirmed that they are not looking to replicate this digital innovation fund support model.

Spokesman for the company told TechCrunch and asked that if it has any plans to make fund for digital innovation for publishes: wealways feel pleasure to publishers about the more additional ideas for driving traffic, monetization and engagement, and currently we are not currently looking to make a fund outside France.

In December Google settled a dispute with Belgian publishers by agreed as a partner with them and also promote their service and also their content. Another case was settled in France which is familiar to the previous one, in this case Google announced the fund of 60 million it not directly linked to the creation of local copyright. Google said that in addition to the fund "depend on the partnership with French publishers which helps in increasing the online revenue by using the advertising technology", a similar offering to Belgian settlement

The difference between the French market and the European market, Google never comment on that but in blog post they announced the creation of the fund they said that "The French's fulfill their commitment in 2011 so now they are going to increase their investment in France, Cultural Institute project is built out of Paris office, this project is another example of investment in this country.

In Germany, draft legislation is now making their way through parliament, if they passed it might extend the copyright law to publishers text snippets and they want some royalty from search engine and online aggregator to license them. Google is always against the extension, they call it "bad law" and they think that it might break the "founding principle" of the Web's hyperlink-based architecture.

Concept a flying washing machine 2050

The future - when all will be able to fly. Flying machines, flying people, flying animals, and so on. And even a flying washing machine. Where do without them. It is concept washing machine in 2050. This washing machine will not only fly in the air, it does not even require any water. The concept is called Orbit, and it will be a sphere that levitates inside the ring, using superconductivity magnets, cooled with liquid nitrogen. The author of the design is Elia Ahovi. Since all this is doing is in the air, the scope (which is located inside clothing) will be able to erase very efficiently and without the slightest noise, complete silence. Meanwhile, streams of carbon dioxide inside the sphere will be cryogenically clean clothes without water and detergent. Machine will be operated through an interactive interface.

For such a design can be applauded, but the only thing that can prevent future use of such machines is the fact that in 2050 we'll probably have to wear disposable suits that are just going to change daily. Or they will be treated independently. But if this is the wrong idea, then we will wait for a washing machine. Wait is only 28 years old, have a chance to survive. Designer Elie Ahovi
