It’s always nice to have a few more USB ports, preferably at the front end of your PC. However most of the PC’s usually come with two or three USB slots at the front.

Most of us use USB extensions to make use of some of unused USB slots at the rear end of the PC, but even with the most sophisticated USB extension, it is pretty hard to harness all the functionality. Keeping this in mind a company has released a 4 port USB revolving hub. The hub as visible in the image has 4 ports, two of which are fixed and the rest can rotate up to 90 degrees.

These USB hubs have been designed pretty nicely as well. It is available in two base colors – black and white, each of them having a bit of flower decoration on the top.

It is available for a price of $ 12 only.

USB drives have made the job of transferring data very easy. Now we can easily transfer data in GB’s without the hassle of finding a new DVD or CD every time. It not only saves times but also is very convenient to carry and store.

Having said that it also suffers from a basic defect i.e. it acts as a virus career and the fact that it can be used over and over again only intensifies the problem. In fact it was only a few days back when US army banned their usage after a virus from a USB drive plagued their networks.

However it seems that SanDisk has found a solution to this problem as well. They have introduced a secure USB drive named Cruzer Enterprise which has built in McAfee Antivirus security feature. The USB drive conducts an automatic virus scan and denies any data transfer if it recognizes any virus.

This is a wonderful breakthrough which is likely to re-boost the confidence of people in USB drives.

Japanese won’t ever give up innovating newer robots. They seem to make robots for literally everything. Their latest robot cleans up the entire building all by itself. The robot that has been developed by the Fuji Heavy Industries and Sumitomo is being hailed as the future of industrial cleaning automatons.

To move from one floor to the other it uses the lifts just like us humans. The robot interfaces with the office elevators with the help of an optical control system and thus is able to eliminate the requirement of multiple robots on the different floors of the same building.

The robot can detect any kind of obstacles thanks to its laser sensors and camera. The only thing missing in this robot is its name. We hope it will get one soon.

It seems that the display screen of smart phones is growing proportionally with its growing fan base. That is why probably mobile phone companies are spending heavily on research and development of folding and rollable displays. These proposed displays have actually started a kind of rat race between companies as the first one to come up with these phones could easily hit a goldmine.

Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in association with PilotFish have engineered a TFT-EPD (Thin Film Transistor Electrophoretic Display) panel that could solve the display solutions for Smartphone manufacturers. It has a folding top display and a bottom sliding display which literally doubles the screen size to a whooping 5 inches. The two displays are separated by a 1cm flexible strip. In the images you would it appears that there is actually a break in the center of the complex display but actually it is the software taskbar. The next step which companies are gearing up to is bringing touchscreen feature into such large screens and it is expected to be made available for use sometime next year.

It seems that Nokia has finally decided to take the iPhone head on. They have announced that they will be releasing the new N97 early next year. If the critics are to be believed, this phone could very well snatch the Phone of the year award from the iPhone.

Apple has snatched the top spot in the sales chart for the third quarter in the mobile device category. It had shipped more than 6.9 million units in the time period.

According to Apple the sale figures in the third quarter are more than the combined effort of the previous two quarters. However most of this sales boost is believed to have come from the dramatic price reduction by AT&T. They have been selling iPhone for prices very near to $ 200 mark with a two year contract.

IPhone had taken the top spot from the Motorola Razr which was No 1 for over 36 months. Blackberry curve is ranked third with LG rumor in fourth.
