Panasonic teams up with NHK on 145-inch 8K Super Hi-Vision plasma TV

April 29th, 2012 by ecszenc43 | Permalink

We thought the 8K 85-inch Super Hi-Vision LCD we saw during CES was impressive, but Japanese broadcaster NHK is already looking to surpass that by going even bigger. To that end it worked with Panasonic (above: that’s Panasonic’s Keishi Kubota on the left, Yoshio Ito of NHK on the right) to create this 145-inch prototype plasma, unveiled today as an example of the kind of displays we can expect to see once broadcasts jump to the higher resolution some day. The world’s first self-illuminating Super Hi-Vision TV, it features every pixel of its expected 8K resolution — 7,680 x 4,320. After working for months on smaller (only 85- or 103-inch) 4K plasmas, the two companies had to come up with an entirely new drive method for the display that works by scanning the pixels vertically to achieve a uniform picture quality. The NHK plans to show off the new display at its open house in May, although we’re a bit more interested to see if we can watch the Olympics on it this summer. Check the gallery below for a few more pictures from DigInfo.TV’s Don Kennedy, or hit the more coverage link for a breakdown of the difficulties encountered in building a high resolution display that’s this massive.

Flirty Facebook Post Sparks 30-WOMAN BRAWL in Sacramento

April 29th, 2012 by ecszenc43 | Permalink


An ill-advised Facebook comment allegedly led to a 30-woman brawl involving baseball bats, a smashed glass candle crudely wielded as a weapon, and resulting in two serious injuries in Sacramento, Calif., this week.

Officer Michele Gigante of the Sacramento Police said a post on one man’s Facebook page was the culprit. His wife allegedly wasn’t fond of its salacious nature, which apparently instigated (somehow) a multi-woman showdown.

FB fight

Cops claim that Facebook played a role beyond the man flirting with another woman besides his wife. Some participants used FB to organize the fight.

The participants looked “angry and out of breath,” according to one eyewitness, who adds that several individuals were hurt after the epic melee.

One imagines that things like this never used to happen. But of course they did. They just didn’t benefit from the virtual megaphone and fine organizational possibilities offered to breathlessly angry mobs by Facebook’s mere existence.

Thank you, Mark Zuckerberg. Thank you.

N.O.R.E Featuring Styles P and Raekwon: Google That [Video]

April 28th, 2012 by ecszenc43 | Permalink

Dropping today is N.O.R.E.s “Google That,” one of the most memorable tech references in recent rap memory since Rick Ross said he was “selling dope straight off the iPhone.” Watch out though, because it might get stuck in your head with a chorus that repeats the phrase synonymous with Internet search more dozens of times.

Celebs Dish on Sex, Death and Love on ‘The Conversation’

April 28th, 2012 by ecszenc43 | Permalink

When a TV interviewer sits across from a celebrity, she knows what the audience wants to hear. The juicy stuff! The success of the interview — almost any celebrity interview — depends on how far the star will open up about body-image issues, or a recent divorce, or the pain of infidelity, or the death of a family member, or, best of all, a personal disclosure she’s making for the first time.

Spinach-based solar cells get $90,000 development funds from EPA, Popeye delighted

Spinach-based solar cells get $90,000 development funds from EPA, Popeye delightedA biohybrid solar panel that substitutes expensive silicon components for a spinach protein has been granted some substantial Phase II funding from the EPA. Engineering students from the Vanderbilt School of Engineering managed to stand out from 44 other university teams vying for funding at the National Sustainable Design Expo held in Washington DC. The team’s large-scale panel only ekes out a small amount of electricity from the photosynthetic proteins at the moment, but according to Professor Kane Jennings, the cash injection from the EPA will help achieve higher energy conversion ratios over the next few years. Perhaps you could try wrapping them up into giant 3D cubes, Professor.
