44 million people use Facebook iPhone app: Rather than the biblical 100 million users which was previously suggested, Facebook has now clarified that it is only a paltry 44million that use the Facebook application. We are of course being sarcastic, that’s a stupidly high amount considering Apple will had sold 59million iPhones by June this year. In other online news, LoveFilm has signed a deal with MGM which will enable users to stream all the films in MGM’s library, in case you were wondering that's a rather wonderful 4,100 titles.

Philips concept bendy OLED phone: Every now and then a concept comes along that really has us wishing a scientific breakthrough was actually around the corner and not in 10 years time. The Philips Fluid Concept Phone is one of those items. Boasting a fully bendable OLED screen, it functions as a totally normal smartphone, but then when you’re finished you can just wrap it around your wrist. Genius. Finally and back to reality, the Nokia C6 is available on Vodafone. Whilst it can’t bend, and we certainly wouldn’t recommend that you try that, it can boast a full touchscreen, Symbian and a slide out QWERTY keyboard.

With a much more high quality appearence the Smart 2 will undoubtedly be the Brew OS equivalent of its own Desire model which is touted to be updated this quarter also.

Details on specs are sketchy at best at the moment but expect something almost identical to the original Smart but with WiFi connectivity and the Office Suite set of programs which will allow you to create basic word documents and edit office documents.

If you're a fan of the Brew OS will you be looking forward to the Smart 2's arrival? Let us know on Facebook and Twitter.

Man gets shot in the head. Discovers five years later:

We’ve seen it all here at T3, from near-death escapes to hordes of Apple fans waging fierce civil war to get their hands on the iPad, but this has to be a first. A 35-year old German construction worker from Dortmund began to realise he had a bit of a lump on the back of his head; thought it was a cyst and so went to the doctors. Turned out it wasn’t a cyst, but a .22 calibre bullet, unsurprisingly the doctors were keen to understand how the man had been shot, unfortunately for them, our head-hardened construction worker just remembered it as a good new years eve drinking. Bravo.

Playboy Mansion stalked by Brits via Street View:

According to a survey carried out by Scotland Joinery we're all nosey, jealous, paranoid and incredibly aroused every time we use the internet, Google Street View to be more precise. According to the survey carried out, a third of us Brits use Street View to snoop on celebs, with the Playboy Mansion, Steve Job's pad and the White House being amongst the top searches. It goes on to reveal that 16 per cent also use it to spy on their ex's house, whether that's to make sure they haven't built an extension or cut down a tree we're just not sure. Either way it appears as though we're doing everything except what Street View was created for: To help you get around. Well, that's unless your ex works in the White House and you're a Playboy bunny.

Solve a Rubiks cude, in a dinghy at 4,500m? Easy.

In fact, the student who did indeed accomplish this astonishing feat was not the first. He however decided to be different and throw a dinghy into the equation. Jumping from 4,500m Ludwig Fichte preceded to then sit in the dinghy whilst two mates held the floatation device in place. With the ground rapidly approaching Ludwig manages to complete the Rubiks cube with 2,500m to spare. There is of course another aspect to this strange accomplishment; if it had all gone wrong we still would have got a great story of dinghy’s falling from the sky.

Climbing like Spiderman a reality it seems.

Researchers at Stanford University have decided that they’ve had enough of watching these daredevils scale buildings with those ridiculous suction cups. It’s ‘inefficient’ and looks silly. To combat their visual distress they’ve come up with a synthetic micro-hair which when grouped together imitates the hairs found on a Gecko’s feet, making an object stick to a wall. At the moment they’ve only managed to get a robotic Gecko to stick to the wall, but the research is well on the way to creating a material strong enough to support a humans weight.

Selfridges sells sexy bed for up to £50,000:

Found that your King size was lacking in a certain, ‘je ne se quoi’? Well Selfridges is here to help with their latest item for sale: The InDecent bed. For the ‘standard’ version you get a solid High Gloss Oak frame and on the headboard is a overly pixelated stitching of a woman pulling what can only be describe as a provocative pose, look closely and it’ll just be a blur of colours though, clever eh? But if instead you’ve decided that this immortalised goddess isn’t up to your standards then you can pay £50,000 and have a photographer take some raunchy pictures of you and have yourself staring cheekily down at you everytime you catch ’40 winks’.

Sumo wrestlers given iPad’s:

Now we’re not sure what the Japanese Sumo Association has been giving their wrestlers to communicate with, but we can only hope that it’s not an Xperia X10 Mini, mainly because that would just be a cruel joke. However it does seem that even the largest of handsets may just be too small for their overly sized fingers, so in response the JSA has issued the Sumo wrestlers with wonderful 10-inch iPads so that they can type away to their hearts content. In a hugely suspicious and highly amusing twist, this also coincides with the JSA’s investigation into Sumo wrestlers who have been illegally gambling. It’s highly amusing because the JSA admitted that the best way to track the Sumo wrestlers responsible was through email. iPad anyone?

Trombone/Close-quarters weapon.

Now before we leave you to enjoy the weekend ahead we knew that there was something missing from your life. It is of course a flame-throwing trombone. Fear not then for this gentleman below has managed to create such a machine. Its purpose we can only assume (apart from being awesome) is to be a last line of defence against the stern-faced and dictator-like army of music teachers that inhabits this Earth. No more shall ye have to spend hours and hours doing scales practice and playing ‘Baa Baa Black Sheep’. Check out the video below, oh and if you do go out this Bank Holiday weekend, check for bullets in the morning, you never know.

iPad users will be able to guide the desktop cursor around using the touchscreen, while summoning the device's keyboard when you need to type.

The new app takes inspiration from the LogMeIn application for the Apple iPhone, which allows users to view and work on files from your PC while out of the office.

The app arrives just days before the IFA tech expo in Berlin, where a slew of Windows-based tablets are set to be announced to take on Apple's all-conquering tablet.

The Splashtop Remote app is available from the App Store now for £3.99.

Gamescon it appears was the setting for the latest round with Lord of the Rings: Aragorns Quest fighting the corner for Playstation Move whilst the latest Harry Potter outing is announced to be on the side of Kinect.

Well to be honest it was never going to be a completely fair fight, for a start Harry Potter cheats a bit because for the majority of the game you'll be using the conventional controller, then when things get a bit pre-determinedly hairy you switch over to the Kinect and battle your way through, flailing your hands in spell-like fashions at the enemy.

Aragorn's Quest on the other hand uses purely the motion-controllers for directional movement and combat as well. Following round-the-fire stories from Samwise, the plot chronicles the adventures of Aragorn in a slightly cartoon-like style. So whilst Samwise happily recalls the days past you run around like Zelda slashing the controller, not unlike the Wii in fact.

In truth that's essentially the problem, Harry Potter cheats, and Aragorn's Quest is a multi-platform game, so ultimately the choice will be up to you as to whether you'll be flailing around casting spells, or dispatching orks with a disproportionately large sword. Decisions, decisions.

Which will be more successful, Playstation Move or Microsoft Kinect? Let us know on Facebook or Twitter.

The imminent “mass-production of 19-inch flexible e-papers and 9.7-inch colour e-papers” marks the culmination of years of research and development in to the electronic paper technology that holds the possibility adding up to 16.7 million colours to the current breed of monochrome screens used in many e-reader devices.

Providing the screens for Apple’s iPad tablet and Amazon’s Kindle e-reader, LG Display Co will have to combat the cost and usage issues that have previously troubled the introduction of flexible and colour e-papers if it is to make the technology a common feature in future tech.

Offering flexible electronic paper up to 19-inches, LG’s new batch of products pose many exciting possibilities for the future of e-reader devices that could see newspaper style publications landing on a single sheet of e-paper.

However, despite the possibilities, the difficulties in producing these flexible e-papers caused Plastic Logic to cancel plans to release the Que this month with the company stating simply it was redirecting its focus on the next-generation of e-reader.

Would a newspaper sized e-reader have a place in the market? Let us know if you think this 19-inch mammoth will take off via the T3 Twitter and Facebook pages.
