Samsung Galaxy S III to have two color versions (blue, white). Screen protector leaks

Since both the original Galaxy S i9000 and the S II i9100 are available in several color versions, we're obviously expecting the new Galaxy S III to have at least two different colors, too. And it looks like it will. GSM Arena has received a screenshot that shows the S III included in Carphone Warehouse's inventory system. White and blue versions are mentioned.

Accelerometer mic could change the way we look at cochlear implants

Accelerometer mic could change the way we look at cochlear implants

Hearing aids aren't the most discreet cybernetic creations, because the need for a clog-free microphone means that they generally need an external component. Engineers at the Universities of Utah and Ohio aim to change everything with a much smaller mic that uses an accelerometer to detect sound vibrations - so it requires no opening and can be inserted right into the ear. The only exterior hardware is the charger - worn exclusively at night.
