Finally....
I don’t think most people are anxious to buy a new Samsung cell phone. However, that doesn’t mean if the manufacturer came up with something completely new that a lot of folks wouldn’t change their minds.
The tech industry just found out that Samsung filed a patent with the Korean Intellectual Property Office for a foldable smartphone. That’s huge news for those of us who want the convenience of a more compact cell.
Those in the know, say Samsung is planning for a device that features a screen that bends and folds.That reminds me of the old flip phones. The Verge, the tech site, showed a sketch of what this could look like. The numbers represent where the folds are situated.

It’s amazing how the iPad has entered the serious world of art creation and collecting. Sheila Elias, a multi-talented artist whose work has been shown around the world, is a leading force in iPad art creations. I’ve written about Sheila before. Click here.
Look at some of these amazing pieces of art. Sheila prints her work on aluminum, canvas, and paper. She loves working on the iPad because she can create her art on-the-go. It has given her the ability to instantly express herself and take advantage of spontaneous ideas. She loves it.
It’s truly wonderful that a mature artist can truly appreciate the benefits of digital technology.
Congratulations Sheila.
I can still hear my mother saying “Lipstick And Paint Make You What You Ain’t.” She used to say that after she finished applying her makeup.
I thought of her words when I was introduced to the app, You Cam Makeup. This app allows you to try on make up without getting your face dirty. This is like a dream come true.
I can’t make this stuff up. A company called Spartan Underwear, from Paris, France, was at @CES Unveiled New York (trade exhibition) today showing off high tech boxer briefs that protect a man’s private parts from wi-fi and cellphone radiation. You may want to tell your sons and grandsons about this.
Meet Arthur Menard, Co-founder and CEO
The underwear is made of anti-bacterial silver fibers. The company brochure says, “A number of major scientific institutions around the world have raised alarms over the harmful effects of wireless radiation on male fertility, especially if smartphones are carried around in the pockets of pants.
“At Spartan, we don’t want to stop using technology or change our habits to stay safe. We developed a high-tech fabric by incorporating silver fibers into our cotton weave which together act as an electromagnetic shielding.”
I have included a video which explains the entire concept. Each undie is about $45.00. A small price to pay to protect your worldly goods.
Congratulations Steve Smith on being honored by the CT Hall of Fame (Consumer Technology) at the Rainbow Room. It was a fabulous night. We are so proud of you. Steve was Editor-In-Chief of a tech trade magazine, called TWICE, for many years, and other business journals.
The Rainbow Room is still one of the most stunning restaurants and event spaces in the world. We were 64 stories up and the views were stunning.
Below are pictures of pals who joined us to honor Steve. Photos two and three include gals ( Susan Schreiner and Robin Raskin) who are trailblazers in the tech business and it was wonderful to see them busy as ever.
Photo 8 is a long shot of Gary Shapiro, CEO of CES. Photo 9 is Steve getting his award from Gary.
I owe this one to David Pogue. When I read his column in Yahoo, about turning the iPhone into the world’s best magnifying glass, I knew I had to get DigiDame readers this information immediately.
As Pogue points out, this is just perfect for dim restaurants, tiny type on packages, and theater programs.
All you have to do is:
“Open Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Magnifier, and proceed as shown in the video.”
Click here to see a video demonstration.
I hope the world is a better place for you to view tomorrow night.
Enjoy this handy new gadget.
I can’t make this stuff up.
There is a website called Napflix. Yes, it’s like Netflix except that it provides videos that make you fall asleep. There are hundreds of videos to choose from that relaxes your brain so you can easily fall asleep. The videos, curated from YouTube, are so boring that even insomniacs will pass out.
Many medical men claim that looking at a screen is a terrible way to fall asleep. Truth be told, many people rely on white noise or boring videos to help them combat insomnia.
Whatever works.
Check out these videos.
Goodnight
If it wasn’t for Headspace, I don’t think I would have made it through the elections. It’s as simple as that. I needed something extra to get me away from all the noise.
Through Google, I found the Headspace app. I later found out Headspace is now one of the most buzzed-about meditation apps. It was developed by a Buddhist from Venice, CA.
Other well known meditation apps are: Buddhify, Omvana, Smiling Mind and Dharma Seed.
Headspace uses animations and videos to help you relax and get into a peaceful state. I would love you to try it and give me your feedback.
This one is perfect for me because I can start and stop easily. I tend to fall asleep and often need to go back and experience the session again. Don’t tell anyone. Thanks.
