Motorola files patent application for anti-smear display tech
Motorola's applied to patent a new display layer that aims to prevent all those smudges that inevitably accrue on our finger-friendly devices. A modern-day touchscreen problem for prim-and-proper types, the application solves it with several minute, raised layers across the surface of the device, with little reflective caveats to capture oils and other unwanted impurities, optically disguising them from your eyes. The layers wouldn't degrade compared to chemical coatings that could also get scratched off. In typical patent application style, the wording's pretty hazy -- Motorola could either be describing an add-on layer applied to the phone afterward or something already fused to the display. In the application's words:
"A viewable surface of a device, and more particularly a viewable surface of an electronic device, and even more particularly a viewable surface of a transparent cover for a display in an electronic device, includes transparent pedestals projecting from the surface of the viewable surface, the pedestals having reflective sides that conceal, or suppress the appearance of, smudges on the viewable surface."
For some more specifics on Motorola's smudge-disguising solution, you can peruse the official filing down at your local patents and trademark office -- or just hit up the source below.

Telefonica Tries Its Hand At Free Calls, Texts With TU Me, Wants To Take The Skype Road To Make Money
Telefonica has been working hard to make sure it remains a relevant force in mobile as big companies like Apple and smaller app developers like Twilio all swoop in to eat the carriers' proverbial lunch -- offering mobile services to consumers and "owning" that customer relationship: that's seen the company make strategic investments in mobile payments operations like Boku, establish accelerator programs and generally look to remain on the cutting edge of whatever the mobile world will bring us next. The latest in that trend is the launch of a new app from Telefonica, TU Me, which will see the carrier taking a big step away from its traditional paid business model to offer users texts, voice calls, messages, and location and photo sharing -- all free of charge (excepting WiFi or data plan usage, of course). With the app available worldwide from today in Apple's App Store, the idea is to get as many people as possible using it, and then monetize it along the lines of how Skype has done -- through the rollout of eventual value-added services. That could mean enhanced communications, but Telefonica tells me that it will likely also mean adding mobile advertising and other ways of generating revenue.rashad evans jon jones chuck colson death meteor showers 2012 ufc 145 jones vs evans bobby valentine

Let’s face it, working out is not fun. Those of you that think it is, are just crazy because working out has fried your brain. For us normal (aka lazy) folks, we know the real truth. Working out is never going to be as much fun as sitting on our LazyBoy recliner watching The Game [...]

Google Play About To Pass 15 Billion App Downloads? Pssht! It Did That Weeks Ago
Way to blow your own horn, Google. Yesterday a newspaper in the UK, the Independent, ran a short item about how Google was about to reach an app milestone -- 15 billion apps downloaded! So we reached out to Google to ask about this... and guess what? It already happened. A Google spokesperson, Gina Weakley Johnson, tells us that the milestone was passed "a few weeks ago."nj plane crash plane crash new jersey beef o bradys bowl the hobbit the hobbit an unexpected journey latkes how to make it in america
