Drivers from pretty much every region across the globe are familiar with the frustration which follows tailgating a slower moving truck. On a two lane road, it becomes virtually impossible to overtake the truck without risking running into incoming traffic from the other end, but Samsung is showing us how all of this can be avoided. The company is demoing the 'Safety Truck' which carries 4 screen panels at the back showing live camera feed of the road up ahead.
The selfie craze is not going away, and if anything, it's infecting all those who even oppose the idea. This is the age of the selfie, and Samsung has decided to cash in on this craze with the announcement of the Galaxy J5 and J7 smartphones. The devices are part of the Galaxy J lineup of handsets from the Korean giant, but unlike those before them, these two new phones feature a front-facing LED flash for producing some bright selfies under low lighting conditions.
It's been a bad day for both Samsung and Swift, the makers of the keyboard loved by many Android and iOS users, after it was discovered that a security flaw leaves Galaxy devices open to the running of malicious code when the Swift Keyboard is installed.

If you take a look back over some of the decisions made internally at Samsung over the last few years it's extremely difficult to argue in favour of the integrity of its design department. We will never truly know if the decision to blatantly copy the visuals of numerous Apple devices is made at the top of the corporate food-chain and then passed down to the individual departments, or if the design teams are so lacking in individuality that they take the easy option, but what we do know is that if this latest Galaxy S6 video is anything to go by the trend has managed to infiltrate the company's marketing departments as well.
Those of us carrying Apple hardware around with us, be that a smartwatch, a smartphone, a tablet or a notebook tend to have a few things in common. One of those things is a keen eye for design, whether that be for actually doing it or just appreciating it when design is done well. The latter is much easier than the former, that's for sure.
