Just two days after Samsung unveiled its Honeycomb-sports tab Galaxy 7.7 , slate (with all traces of its existence) has disappeared from the IFA stage. All demonstration models were torn from the stand Sammy, branding is gone, and even large poster touting the slate was covered. Korean society has not been fully forthcoming about the reason behind the kidnapping, but a spokesman has said that the move was voluntary SlashGear. Since the Galaxy tab 10.1 is already banned from sale in Germany (and about 7.7 units on display was a sticker informing managers that it would also not do retail in Germany), speculation led many links the act of escape for the ongoing legal battle with Apple. For now, all we have to go on the Samsung is a confirmation that the tablet was taken, accompanied by a refusal to comment further.

In an IFA very distant galaxy saw the Chinese flag. And on the other side of the outer ring of the Pavilion China, buried among a plethora of steamers, curling irons, and goes on television, you can fall on the S-Walker – if you are just as likely to miss . And what could be an S-Walker? Well, if we said, it is a Speed-Walker Sky-Walker, whatever, according to his master stand German. Luke would be proud. Inferior beings can recognize it as a Segway KIRF , designed in Germany and China in their hands, just barely ten days ago. His greatest strength is the price – the thing is scheduled for retail € 2500 (about $ 3,550) in the middle of next year. We assume that what remains to be free-carrier power is here to serve the warehouse workers, couriers, and the millions of students each day the dream of zooming in on campus on top of a pair of motorized wheels, but simply could not justify spending an entire semester of tuition on a Segway.

We spent a few minutes riding the first (and only) functional S-Walker around the place deserted International Hall, and while many still a prototype, the vehicle battery felt peppy enough and answered accurately at the controls, suggesting that we have relied on the front and back that we have changed weight at the rear. You control the direction using a small joystick mounted on the handlebars, rather than leaning to one side to another as you would on a Segway. Designers maximum speed 10 km / h for the demo IFA, but production models will be increased to 30 km / h and is theoretically capable of reaching 100 km / h (but that will probably take a few hacks on potentially illegal your part). Riding on past the break to see the S-Walker in action. And that the force be with you.

You are also looking at integrated 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 and a pair of USB 3.0 ports – not bad for something that is (barely) size of a palm. The most AD10 model comes pre-equipped with a 320GB hard drive and 2GB of DDR3 RAM for only $ 276. Barebones model appears not to have been priced yet, but we would not expect it to be too much less considering how cheap memory and hard drives are today.

An anonymous reader writes After previously saying the Iranian hack Diginotar CA certificates did not compromise the Dutch government, it was decided that there are too many risks and certificates will be revoked after all ( Dutch text of origin). Since the Dutch government has been using only Diginotar provided certificates, that will leave all government web sites with invalid certificates when a new supplier is sought.
