Samsung’s New Galaxy S III Combines LTE And Quad-Core Processor | TechCrunch

Samsung’s New Galaxy S III Combines LTE And Quad-Core Processor | TechCrunch: quad-core processors and high-speed LTE radios may seem like the next logical step in the way for smartphone spec supremacy (and you’d be right to think so), but making it happen is a process that’s easier said than done. You see, quad-core devices like the HTC One X and the Galaxy S III tend to get futzed with as they jump from market to market. One of the major concessions that HTC and Samsung had to make when they brought their respective phones to the U.S. is that they couldn’t have both a quad-core chipset and an LTE radio onboard because of compatibility issues.

Burritob0t: A 3D Tex-Mex Printer of Hangover Helpers
TODAY'S GOOD



25% digital 25% mechanical 50% gastronomic

Have you ever dreamed of a warm, tortilla-wrapped bundle of joy after a long night out or on a bleary-eyed morning, only to find your favorite taco shop closed? Maybe you just have an unhealthy addiction to these penny-saving, bean, meat, cheese, or anything-filled savory and cylindrical meals that will fill you up pronto. 

If you can relate, you're in for a treat. The customizable, 3-D Burritob0t prototype will print your dream burrito ingredients straight onto a tortilla. The invention is the work of interactive designer Marko Manriquez, who created the project while studying at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program and he hopes to bring it to life with a Kickstarter campaign.

Manriquez calls his Burritob0t "Tex-Mex 3D Printing." The b0t features disposable syringes to print ingredients including beans, rice, cheese, sour cream, corn, guacamole, and of course salsa picante. As long as it's in paste form, any ingredient can be attached to the printer.

The machine is connected with a smartphone app, which offers the burrito-lover flexibility in controlling the meal. The user selects the level of each ingredient according to a numbered scale. The app enables Manriquez to track user taste preferences in a database and visualize the data.

"The Burritob0t has the potential to revolutionize the way we engage with food, in the same way a hot plate, a blender, or a mixer have in our recent past," says Manriquez. "By creating an open-source, DIY version of the Burritob0t, I am aiming to put the power in the hands of the consumer. With the Burritob0t in your kitchen, you can create more meals in less time."

Manriquez is using his machine to question the food industry's assembly line mentality, especially when it comes to fast food. "Burritob0t aims to encourage dialogue about how and where our food is grown, methods of production, environmental impact, cultural appropriation, and, perhaps most importantly: what our food means to us," says Manriquez.

Curious to see the Burritob0t in action? Manriquez plans to hold a public demo this summer in New York City. He is also working on a 5-course meal exhibition: each course will be prepared (or printed) from the syringes of a different bot.

Visiting the Doctor Digitally with the Help of a New Startup
TODAY'S GOOD



33% expertise 33% accesibility 33% efficiency

There are many reasons people avoid the emergency room—the endless waiting, the stench, the feeling of being lost in a sea of aches and pains. But what if you could skip the visit to the emergency room and your doctor altogether—at least in the flesh?

Soon, a prescription refill, answers to health questions, and even a diagnosis could be an email away. Sherpaa, a medical company for today's digital world, allows their clients to connect with primary care doctors online or on the phone around the clock. The concept is simple—if a client cuts his finger, for example, he can snap a photo with his cell phone, email it to his primary care doctor (better known as a "guide" in the Sherpaa-verse), then have the doctor assess the damage and whether an ER trip is required. If a stitch is needed, they'll give the patient instructions to care for the wound until a prompt appointment at a local specialist's office can be made. In the end, Sherpaa hopes this will save patients thousands of dollars and hours of time, turning multiple doctor visits into just one whenever possible.

Co-founder Dr. Jay Parkinson told Co.Exist that Sherpaa's main goals include lowering health care costs (the second-highest cost for businesses after payroll) for companies while providing a better patient-doctor relationship. Sherpaa steps in, analyzes how a company handles health care, then overhauls their plan for one that best suits their employees. They'll often advise companies to give out a $2,000 debit card to cover the initial deductible—if an employee doesn't use all of it, it goes back to the company, which ends up saving money in the end.

Sherpaa currently lists Tumblr as its only client online, but is reportedly branching out to other New York-based companies. "When you go to a company and explain to them what's going on, within a few minutes, it's a no-brainer for them to do it," Parkinson told Co.Exist. "It just highlights how much waste there is in the health care system. That's their business model: confusion."
