It has come to our attention that Samsung has set a planned release date for the Samsung Galaxy S6 to be aimed at December 20th (that's a Saturday) 2014. Sources from inside Samsung claim that the company aims for this particular dat because it's just on the doorstep of Christmas, and that particular day because it's the last Saturday before the big celebrations and traditionally the busiest shopping day of the year.

For now, these reports remain unconfirmed officially and it will stay like that for at least another 6 to 10 months. But it does sound very obvious if you think about it!

Self-cleaning bed sheets / A nearby reality

One exaple of self-cleaning textile
technology (there are a few more)

While fabric manufacturers are working day and nigh to perfect their self-cleaning fabrics, one European research lab has set its focus on a very good future application of this new technology:

self cleaning bed sheets

This would be an excellent product if we bear in mind the hundreds of thousands of hotels worldwide, not even mentioning those families consisting of five or more people. It would save enormous amounts of time, money and wash-frustration. Is this something we can expect to hit the market in the next 5 years? We can only pray for it!

Will we be printing our drugs in the future?

Printing medication the future?
Printing pills, drugs, medicin with
a special 3D chemical printer

Whether it regards medically prescribed drugs, painkillers or even party drugs and narcotics, we may not too far from now be able to use a printer to get them. Dutch scientists are currently developing a printer that is able, with the use of specific apps, to

print mixtures of chemicals into pills

. The app would have access to a database containing blueprints of common drugs. It would download the required blueprint and instruct the "chemical printer" to print the correct mixture of chemicals into a pill.

The existence of a drugs printer would give great benefits especially for certain patients who require very specific, customized and carefully measured personalized medication. Today, most medication comes in standard pills and a patient often consumes just a little too much or too little then he needs. Also, change of dosage and adjusting medication according to a patient's food intake on a specific day will become much more efficient.

Google filed patent reveals Google Glass technology to be extended to to car windshields

Google patent for Google Glass and
optical car windshield / window

Last month the US Patent & Trademark Office published a patent application from Google revealing Google's extension of Google Glass optical system technology further beyond their initial spectacle / wearable smart device. With this patent,Google clearly envisions their technology being extended through to car windshields.

or windshield by Google

What we find in this Google patent is that the tech giant clearly sees their optical system to be incorporated into car windshields. In more specific manner, as seen in the picture on the right, you can notice a car driver's view. Light pixels could be incorporated into the interactive car window. Further, the light source may be located away from the light pixels on the top side of the windshield. Critical information such as speed, battery levels, traffic information and GPS imaging can be displayed using an array of light pixels. Using the windhield / front window to display all this information would be far more safe, easier and efficient then the conventional ways.

While the next Samsung Galaxy S model, the S5 hasn't even seen the light of day yet, we are already busy with the question how the

Samsung Galaxy S6

is going to look like. Since it will be launched somewhere between December 2014 and February 2015 (exact release date to be confirmed later) it's fully understandable that Samsung has a dedicated Galaxy sVI (as they like to write it, personally I prefer Galaxy S6 though) team working on this new smartphone day and night! Will it look anything like this...?
