Other features noted by Samsung included: HD movie playback, e-reading, Flash support, augmented reality, navigation, and PC-like Web browsing.
The design of the Tab appears to be somewhat...

What this is, however? More evidence towards the widely-held notion that the Washington Post is facing one of the worst identity and culture crises in the history of...

tedr:
If you don’t know that using infogrpahics to game digg and google was a highly employed technique, then this whole thread will be fascinating to you. (Scout’s honor, we’ve never done this, but have mapped out doing it. Where the whole infographic-strategy got whacky is when sites would make entirely unrelated graphic topics that still linked to their site, such as the history of the candy...
