Since we are relying more and more with our mobile phones to do just about everything, our habits reasonably change over time. One trivial activity affected by this convergence is reading time. An ongoing poll at Gizmodo shows that about 64% of the respondents use their mobile phones to check time while only 32% voted for the conventional wristwatch. While this is not a formal or structured research, you can still dig some insights from more than 10,500 voters. In retrospect, perhaps the decision of Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer to develop its own line of luxury mobile phones might have some sense after all. Source: More People Read Time via Mobile Phone

OLED panels are the next big thing when it comes to TVs and other consumer electronics from cameras to cell phones. The OLED screen promises more compact dimensions, less power consumption and brighter images. Small OLED screens are currently found on some cell phones and LCD TV makers are looking for larger OLED screens to use in HDTVs. Reuters reports that Samsung recently unveiled a 31-inch active-matrix OLED screen . Samsung says it will have a 31-inch OLED prototype TV on display at CES 2008 in January. Samsung declined to comment on the commercial availability of TVs using the 31-inch OLED panel stating that the panel being available for retail purchase would depend on TV makers’ plans. With the very high cost of the Sony XEL-1, the first commercially available OLED TV retailing for over $1,700 USD, the price for a 31-inch Samsung panel equipped OLED TV is a frightening thought for many. Samsung didn’t comment on potential pricing for TVs using its 31-inch OLED panel. Samsung sa...

Osama bin Laden warned Iraq's Sunni Arabs against fighting al-Qaeda and promised to expand the terror group's holy war to Israel in a new audiotape Saturday, threatening "blood for blood, destruction for destruction." Most of the 56-minute tape dealt with Iraq, apparently al-Qaeda's latest attempt to keep supporters in Iraq unified at a time when the U.S. military claims to have al-Qaeda's Iraq branch on the run. The tape did not mention Pakistan or the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, though Pakistan's government has blamed al-Qaeda and the Taliban for her death on Thursday. But bin Laden's comments offered an unusually direct attack on Israel, which has warned of growing al-Qaeda activity in Palestinian territory. The terror network is not believed to have taken a strong role there so far. "We intend to liberate Palestine, the whole of Palestine from the (Jordan) river to the sea," he said, threatening "blood for blood, destruction for...
