[ Sun, 19 Aug 2012 17:34:56 GMT ]
Youâll know when itâs over. Upon impact, a small amount of elastic energy is converted into acoustic energy â that resounding indication of breaking glass. But the majority of the elastic energy stored in the glass will be converted into two â or more â surface energies. A crack. You've just smashed your phone's screen.

Review: Samsung Galaxy Note tablet
[ Thu, 16 Aug 2012 14:49:38 EDT ]
When Samsung's Galaxy Note smartphone went on sale in the U.S. in February, two things made it, um, noteworthy. At 5.3â³, its display was the largest one ever offered on a phone. And the Note came with Samsung's S Pen, a precision stylus which let you jot notes and sketch pictures without jabbing at the screen with your finger.
