Looks like Samsung's elves have been busy thinking up new ways to cram a QWERTY onto all those touchscreen phones they've been selling lately: check out this patent application for a side-mounted flip-down keyboard. We're not sure if this would be comfortable, usable, or even stable, but we do know that we support any design decision that makes our phones look more like super-awesome space planes from the future.

It's not much, in fact, these screenshots are incredibly easy to fake. Still, a hastily constructed WordPress blog has been setup to host what are claimed to be the world's first screenshots of Google's new Chrome OS -- hailed as both a Microsoft Windows and Apple OS X killer or a Google FUD generator depending upon who you're listening to. As the story is told, a Google representative demonstrated a private beta build of the OS to an anonymous Acer parts supplier yesterday, presumably somewhere in Taiwan. The picture above was grabbed breathlessly while the Google rep was distracted. Highlights of the demonstration break down as follows:

• The "elegant" install on the Acer Extensa 4620Z laptop took about 10 minutes and 1 restart
• Reboots desktop-to-desktop in about 25 seconds
• It was "amazingly fast" in its stripped-down beta form
• The blue orb on the auto-hiding "Chrome Bar" along the bottom of the UI is essentially the start menu
• Navigating the file system can be done in "exploration" (like Windows explorer) or "browser" (search based) modes
• The Chrome Bar can also host a search bar if configured
  
• Future Chrome OS net books will feature an iconified Chrome key on the keyboard similar to the Windows flag key

Of course, it's a long, long time before this OS appears on next generation ARM and x86 smartnetbooks -- second half of 2010 according to the Google -- so who knows what the interface will look like by then. One more image after the break.

Here's the new goggles featured with a 5 megapixel CMOS sensor, software - free USB connectivity which has the ability to record 720 x 480 video at 30 fps to a microSD card in it. now the chance is yours enjoy the ride under water with this evolutionary gadget.

No idea which man would want to hide the fact that he carries a shaver, but if you’re one who places space in your luggage as a premium, then the USB Card Shaver would fit into your agenda very nicely. This device has a diameter of just 1cm, and is perfect for business and travel. A full charge will last for up to 12 hours of shaving, which ought to be more than enough to go through a week’s worth of stubble with juice to spare. In case you don’t want to charge it via a notebook, there is always a USB-to-AC adapter to keep it charged. The USB Card Shaver will retail for approximately $32 each, and it would be nice to see future improvements include integrated memory (with waterproof specifications, of course).
