LG 3D Ultra Definition TV is world’s largest

Posted: 31 Dec 2011 04:00 AM PST

Having a (positive) superlative describing your product is definitely something that most, if not all, hardware manufacturers would love to experience. LG Electronics steps up to the plate, full of confidence, that their 3D Ultra Definition (UD) TV is the largest in the world. Of course, you can tell by the name alone that Ultra Definition is far better than High Definition, so I cannot wait to see just what kind of images my eyes will be greeted with at CES 2012 that is happening in less than a fortnight’s time in Las Vegas.

Basically, this unique display will debut at CES 2012 next year, where it will sport 84″ of viewing goodness, while ensuring it breaks new ground where immersive 3D home entertainment is concerned. To put it in the words of Havis Kwon, President and CEO of LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company, "LG is pushing the limits of home entertainment innovation with this 3D UD TV. We are bringing together all our Smart TV and 3D knowledge in the 3D UD TV in order to demonstrate to the CES audience that LG is committed to being the world's leading brand for immersive home entertainment in 2012 and beyond."

Just what can you expect LG's 3D UD TV to deliver to your eyes? For starters, superb picture quality is a given, thanks to a cool 8 million pixels that is actually four times the resolution clarity (3840 x 2160 pixels) of current Full HD TV panels. Of course, at such a high resolution, popping in your Blu-ray disc is of no use since it would probably occupy just a small space on the display, and when you blow it up, it will just end up as a jagged copy. Guess this is one of the few times where hardware has outpaced “software” (in this case), so we will have to wait and see just what kind of imagery magic comes our way down the road.

When you merge that with LG's Slim and Narrow Bezel Design, the 3D UD TV is said to deliver the ultimate in 3D viewing experience that is available anywhere – save for the movie theater, of course. Not only that, with 3D Depth Control, you are able to customize your viewing experience through the control of the 3D effect while 3D Sound Zooming will offer users 3D sound which rivals the output of most of the other home theater systems.

Thermosensitive Pillow Gushes All Sorts Of Colors

Posted: 31 Dec 2011 08:00 AM PST

So yeah, you’ve got this pillow and it’s soft and comfy. But wait, that’s not all! See those hand prints? The catch is the Thermosensitive Pillow is…thermosensitive, which means your body heat ‘reflects’ on the surface. Would’ve been cooler if the pillow could also warm you amid the winter chill. Also, there’s a catch to its colorful feature.

Fake It Till You Make It: The StarScreen Social Backdrop

Posted: 31 Dec 2011 07:00 AM PST

Nothing suggest/implies/screams ‘fake!’ better than a crummy technicolor backdrop on a nylon screen. This is barely high-tech but is awkward enough to merit some contrived measure of acclaim. If you haven’t figured out what it does, the StarScreen is a prop for your teleconferencing and Skype sessions–a ‘vivid’ background to lend an utterly false sense of where you’re at. Thus, have a white sand beach in place behind you rather than the dirty garage you actually live in. For example, of course.

Tether Your Wineglasses With The, Uh, Tether (Video)

Posted: 31 Dec 2011 05:10 AM PST

Way to go, branding! Okay, enough snark for now so that the product at hand may be scrutinized properly. Seen below is the Tether in action. What it does is provide an easy grip for fragile wine glasses. Of course, since the world is in the grip of the holidays, the Tether becomes ever more practical as wine and champagne are served in jolly abundance.  At seven inches long, each Tether allows for an easy grip on the stem of a wine or champagne or even cocktail glass. Because nothing is more teeth gnashingly frustrating than wet glasses slipping from your oily fingers while trying to clean them, the Tether arrives right on time.

Scanadu Tricorder Is Supposed To Be A Health Scanner For Kids (Video)

Posted: 31 Dec 2011 04:03 AM PST

‘Supposed’ because at this point it’s little more than a concept, though its function is pretty straightforward. It’s a tool for assessing a subject’s health, armed with the kind of software whose read out would render a trip to the doctor pointless. The gadget is from the year old startup of the same name headed by Walter de Brouwer. Based in California, Scanadu is aiming for a 2012 release for households, where parents can use it to look after their kids.

Vintage Blade Runner Concept Sketches Made Public

Posted: 31 Dec 2011 02:35 AM PST

Warning: They will blow your mind. If you think Syd Mead is the most badass concept artist to ever consult for Hollywood productions, get a load of Ridley Scott’s own contributions (plus a few others). Mr. Scott of Alien and Gladiator fame is legend for his detailed storyboarding. In fact, he’s right up there with James Cameron when it comes to mad drawing skills. Not kidding—the spaceships on Aliens and the nude sketch of Kate Winslet on Titanic? James Cameron’s work. No wonder both directors have a proclivity for epic films. Though Mr. Scott’s oeuvre is a bit more eclectic.

Monstrous gAtari Does Sweet, Sweet Music (Video)

Posted: 31 Dec 2011 02:24 AM PST

Turns out there was a music festival in Japan recently and one of the participants  is this dude named cTrix, who performed with his gAtari. That’s him pictured below wielding the beast. Take note of his facial expression–it’s a mix of awe and wonder as he grasps the mighty…thing in his feeble hands. It’s a heavily modded (emphasis on ‘heavily’) Atari console impregnated with effects pedals and other devices. The resulting instrument can reduce the unworthy to cinders via its sheer musical/visceral mind-exploding aural madness.

vWallpaper 2 app now lets you set video wallpapers for your iOS 5 device

Posted: 31 Dec 2011 03:55 AM PST

Unlike Android users, if you’re an iOS device owner you’ll have noticed you don’t have the luxury of choosing fancy ‘live’ / moving wallpapers. I’ve found this especially annoying as an iPhone 4 user because the retinal display would have been brilliant for this task should Apple have enabled this feature. But the obvious downside would have been a compromise to battery life. Nevertheless vWallpaper is an app that’s been around for a while but now compatible with iOS 5.

 

As you will have guessed correctly, such a function would not possibly be authorised by Apple and hence the app is available for download only via Cydia meaning you will need to jailbreak your iOS 5 device.
vWallpaper 2 not only allows users to replace static wallpaper with videos but it also comes with cool effects like particles, 3D objects, HTML widgets and lots more. Check it out in the video below…

If you’re interested, here’s how to get vWallpaper 2 up and running:

  1. Launch Cydia
  2. Tap on Manage
  3. Then tap on Sources
  4. Tap on the Edit button at the top right corner and then tap the Add button
  5. Enter the following URL – http://deb.danstaface.net and tap on Add Source
  6. After skrew’s source has been successfully added it, tap on Return to Cydia button
  7. Tap on the Search tab and search for vWallpaper 2
  8. Tap on vWallpaper 2 for iOS 5/ARMV7 from the search results and tap on Install and then Confirm buttons to install it
  9. After it is successfully installed, it will automatically restart the Springboard
  10. You should now be able to find the vWallpaper2 icon on your iPhone’s home screen
  11. Tap on it to launch vWallpaper 2
  12. Tap on ‘Manage current theme’
  13. Then tap on the Video toggle where you will get an option to download video from various repositories or select from the default videos: Wave.mp4 or electriblue.mp4
  14. You also have the option to add cool effects like particles, magic fingers (seen in the video above), 3D objects, HTML widgets to the video wallpaper on that settings screen
  15. That’s it, now tap on the Home button. It will automatically respring your Springboard and you should be able the see the video wallpaper in all it’s glory

There are variety of Facebook apps for smartphones and tablets, and now we're getting the first Windows-based Facebook Messenger that allows people to stay in touch with their friends without opening Facebook in their browser.

Facebook Messenger supports chat, but it also includes notifications, new friend requests, and even a feed that allows you to stay up to date with your friend's activity.
