Wow! It's been a while. Still a part of me is a die-hard geek and tech blogging has formed a lifestyle on me way way back five years ago. Blogging gadgets and technologies has been one of my favorites before and thanks to my over-demanding job and hectic personal life, I missed blogging so much that the moment I saw my blog again, I had rekindled the flame of writing once more. Mainly the reason why I wanted to re-born Cybernation is because I wanted to continue what I started, especially the vision that I wanted. I think this is the perfect time to re-think about reviving the efforts as the surge and advent of new and breathtaking gadgets are just overwhelming. The coming out of new breakthroughs and specs were almost every quarter and the consumer is demanding more from this trailblazers.

Every month we see new ways to explore the world and technology is becoming more important in the daily lives of people.

CES 2013 has just been concluded and now tech junkies are talking and gushing about the newest gadgets that are going to hit the store this coming months. CES is like the nirvana of tech enthusiasts. This is where every tech companies are going to outshine one another with their latest innovations and out of this world inventions.

Here's some of the highlights of the Consumer Electronics Show held in Las Vegas:

1. The Samsung Flexible Display. Is it too-much or just exactly what we are waiting for?

Well, the display is kind of confusing first, like who wants to have a flexible display? The images are just intriguing and one would suspect that this just another marketing ploy and eventually would find it a hoax. But no worries, don't expect too much. It turns out that this thing is just shown as a prototype and is not poised to steer the market into another direction once again. As per TheVerge, the prototype isn't truly a phone and it lacks phone features such as radio, operating system, camera, etc. It is considered more as a photo album. Bleh


Instead, in its current form, the prototype is more like a touch-capable digital picture frame that uses a low-power processor to cycle through images of a mocked-up UI. The phone certainly feels like a prototype: it's poorly made of plastic, and it felt completely hollow within. We're skeptical of the utility of a flexible display on a phone, but it certainly makes for a cool tech demo.
