Rolltop Laptop Closed
With the recent launch of the Apple Tablet, computer advances are all the rage. Orkin Design have come up with a concept that rolls the laptop, tablet, e-reader and TV into one. When we say “rolls”, we are quite literal about it.

The RollTop computer comes with a flexible OLED display which also handles multitouch. When fully rolled out, it ends up as a 17″ flatscreen display. Folded, it can be used as a 13″ notebook/tablet. A portion of the display is used as a keyboard and the rest as dispay screen.

Rolltop Laptop Half Rolled OutThe device is composed of two parts. The flexible OLED display and a tower. The tower acts as the power supply, USB interface, webcam and speaker system.

The crazy thing about the RollTop concept is that we’re fairly close to actually being able to build it. Samsung has a flexible OLED screen in the works and incorporating touch capabilities wouldn’t be that much of a leap forward.

It is really worth your while to watch the animated video of the design. You can find it by following this link.

Square Action Shot

Cash is old news, but unfortunately technology just isn’t up to speed in the credit/debit business…..until now!

Say, for example, you own a landscaping business. The old method of collecting money from your happy customer was to ask for cash, hesitantly accept a check (let’s hope it isn’t made of rubber) or mail an invoice at the end of the month. The new method, thanks to Square is to whip out your mobile phone, swipe your customers credit or debit card and receive the money in under 60 seconds.

Square Payer Verification ScreenWhat about a receipt? no problem! With Square, your customer gets thier receipts sent to their email or mobile phone instantly and they can access them securely online. You can also use a text message to authorize every payment in real-time.

And a feature we just love….customers can create a Square payer account to speed up and secure every payment. With photo verification, Square users can visually confirm they are the card holder.
