May 8, 2012 By
HTC ‘s One S — launched earlier this year at Mobile World Congress — features a nifty ceramic-like finish that is achieved using micro arc oxidation. We’ve of course heard about the process and been treated to the details of the treatment but had yet to see it translated for our eyes to behold. HTC has a stand set up at CTIA detailing the steps from blank lump of aluminum to the finished HTC One S product with its lovely smooth black shell.

Flat-panel TV shipments to fall for the first time ever in 2012?
March 28, 2012 By
The past fourteen or so years have been a great run for flat-panel TV sales, but according to IHS (formerly iSuppli), that run is finally going to turn in the down direction in 2012. The expected drop off is predicted to be five percent, which still leaves the total TVs sold in 2012 at 37.1 million, more than a few dollars for sure. The fact that last year saw a modest one percent raise is as good of an indicator as any that the good times are over.

Samsung reports operating profit of $4.5 billion on cellphone, hard drive biz sales
January 6, 2012 By
Fourth quarter earnings for Samsung are out and wouldn’t you know it, selling a record number of mobile phones — more than three times over what it sold in the same period last year — is a pretty good way to turn a profit. Businessweek notes it closed the three months ending in December with an operating profit of 5.2 trillion won ($4.5 billion), beating analyst estimates. Other than the more than 300 million phones it sold, there was also a bump from the $1.38 billion sale of its hard drive business to Seagate that helped overcome drops in profits from its chipmaking and flat-screen units
