The New LG Rollable OLED Screen

After years of development, LG's rollable OLED screen is on display. This paper thin, rollable material can be poked and moved without disrupting the image.

This screen is made of plastic that is able to capture the organic light it emits through diodes.

This technology can soon be used in many practical ways. Imagine being able to have a TV screen in your school binder, backpack or pocket!

LG has already experimented with this technology in some of their phones (like the LG Flex 2) but so far these screens have had to be protected with glass.

Lately LG has been in the news a lot for their innovation - such as their new LG 360 VR.

How To Stop The World's Next Epidemic

Remember, about a year ago everyone was worried about Ebola destroying humanity? Scientists already made the vaccine.

It took only 10 months.

Scientists used new techniques to swap proteins from Ebola and other viruses, which allows people to become automatically immune.

Health workers in Guinea gave 4,000 adults the vaccine who had been in contact with people with Ebola. All of them survived.

That technique will be later used to develop new emergency vaccines in the future.

What do you think? Do you think this technique will work on other diseases in the future? Comment in the comment section below!

The Selfie Drone That Never Was

Taking a photo with a drone can be pretty hard. I mean, trying to fly these can end up with them crashing to the concrete.

That's why the Torquing Group designed the Zano - a drone that tracks you doing random things.

Zano films you by following your smartphone. So it has a second purpose - if you lose your phone outside the house, just look up at the sky and look where the drone is hovering.

When you do activities outside like biking, rock-climbing or just chilling at the beach, the drone will use its GPS and pressure sensor to navigate its way to you and snap a pic or two.

Everyone loved it. Kickstarter ate it up and Zano got 2.3 million euros for it. And then issues started to appear.

They couldn't meet their stretch goals. The factory in China creating the parts was late. The drones that did ship crashed into walls or took awful photos. Then they disappeared and filed for bankrupcy. Forever.

Zano was gone.

Kickstarter is a really good idea. Many people love to fund projects, and much of the time the backers get their product.

Once I funded a Kickstarter project too. I shelled out around $25 for the project and guess what? It never came.

Kickstarter needs to force their projects to be more accountable. Many backers of the Zano never got their refund.

What do you think? Would you fund a Kickstarter project after hearing about this? What do you think about the Zano?

The Fitbit Of Jumpropes: The Tangram Smart Rope

The Tangram Jumprope: The Fitbit of smartwatches.

It comes in this nice case:

It's designed especially to be comfortable, using 45 degree angles. The handles are designed so they don't get in the way and they are easy to hold.


The smart rope also connects to Smart Gym - where you can track stats on your jumprope workout like rope count, interval training and awards. SmartGym is kind of like a Fitbit app.



The app is really nicely designed. They have daily competitions with your friends, awards (ex. Bronze - 10000 jumps) and awesome interval training.

It costs around the same amount as a Fitbit - $80-90.

It's a pretty sweet jumprope. But when are you going to use a jumprope? Like seriously, when will you use it? Maybe a couple times in the morning, but you won't use it all day?

Overall, I think the Smartrope is a great concept, has amazing design but how much demand will there be for a smart rope? How many professional jump ropers do you know? Only 9 people reviewed it but they seemed to like it.

Would you buy a Smartrope if it was a little cheaper or would you buy it at this price? Comment in the comment section below!

The Raspberry Pi Zero: A $5 Computer

Raspberry Pi Zero - the $5 computer.

It sold out on its first weekend available and everybody seemed to want one. I mean, who wouldn't? It's a $5 computer!

It comes with a Micro SD slot, a mini HDMI socket, a 1GHz ARM11 core and micro-USB slots. It runs Raspbian and can run games for Linux like CSGO, TF2 and Rust.

MagPi was giving away free ones when you bought their magazine but that stopped.

Unfortunately, you have to buy a Raspberry Pi Zero from a Raspberry Pi distributor instead of online.

If they were more easily accessible, would you buy one? Comment in the comment section below!
