Samsung boss responds to bribery probe: “I am responsible”
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets
Lee Kun-hee, Samsung’s 66 year old chairman and son of the company’s founder, made a potentially damning announcement over the weekend. Following 11 hours of interrogation by prosecutors into allegations of bribery and maintaining a slush fund (among other improprieties), Lee said, “This is all due to my carelessness. I am responsible for everything and must take responsibility.” We won’t know for sure until the investigation is complete. However, the statement is less likely an admission of guilt than it is an attempt to appease the people of South Korea where the Samsung “chaebol” is more than just a brand, it’s a national symbol of pride… at least it was.

Thin is in: LG shares a glimpse of its 5 megapixel hottie phone
Filed under: Cellphones
Great news, Mr. and Mrs. Tighty Pants: carrying five megapixels in your pocket is about to become a little less obvious! The latest member of LG’s storied Black Label line — other alumni being the Chocolate and the Shine — is starting to break cover, and for what the slider might lack in sheer visual distinction, it makes up in technical prowess. The as-yet-unnamed slider promises to be the thinnest 5 megapixel cameraphone in the world when it launches, featuring a reinforced glass touchscreen up front (just a little Glimmer-esque, if you ask us) and a shell constructed from carbon fiber. Other than that, LG’s being a little stingy with details at this point, saying that it’ll unveil the handset’s name later this month — hopefully along with pricing and a full spec sheet. The phone will hit Europe first with a number of other launches across the globe thereafter, finally hitting LG’s own South Korea in the second half.
