Samsung may launch two bendable smartphones with OLED screens in 2017
Seems like Samsung has been working on this tech for a good while now.
Maybe its finally ripe enough for a complete fold without the glass. We've all seen their curved OLED displays for a few years now, but they all had glass.

Apple's iPhone is no Blackberry: a closer look at AI and the world's biggest company
Even if Marco was involved with the sale of Tumblr to Yahoo, why not? Work hard, build a thing people use then sell it. Wash, rinse, repeat.lowededwookie said:We're supposed to believe an idea of Apple's failure from Marco Ament? The guy who sold Tumblr to Yahoo? A company that is very possibly on its deathbed? If he's not smart enough to see that one happening how could he ever be smart enough to see Apple fail?
But the facts are that Marco left Tumblr September 2010.
The Tumblr sale to Yahoo closed June 20, 2013 after being announced a month prior.
While I am sure Marco made money with the sale of Tumblr to Yahoo (he likely had shares), I don't think he had any direct involvement with it. He hadn't been with Tumblr for 2.75 years by then. Long enough for him to develop Instapaper and sell it to Betaworks, as well as develop The Magazine and sell it to Glenn Fleishman. Build a thing people use, sell it, wash, rinse, repeat.
Marco gets a good deal of hate, especially around these parts. But those are the facts and he is no dummy. He's a successful one-person developer and he's done quite well for himself. I think what rubs people the wrong way about Marco, other than he comes across as arrogant, is that he sometimes does or says things that fans don't want to see or hear. That doesn't necessarily make him wrong or not smart.
Anyone who's followed Marco and his career sees that he loves Apple dearly. It seems to me that what he really wants is what is best for Apple, it's customers and developers.
