Be a song writer.

Someone once said, "There is a song in all of us. It's just waiting to get out". I dunno who said that or where I have heard of it. But I think this was the inspiration for Microsoft when it created Microsoft Songsmith. A great piece of software which allows anyone to become a songwriter/singer. All you have to do is to sing along to the sound of the drum, then Songsmith will do the rest. Have a look at their commercial.

How thin can it go?

Sony's been actively developing OLED technologies. With the progress that has taken place, it will not be long before we start to see screens bigger then 50" but thinner then 1cm. These screens will be able to wrap around pillars and provide audiences with unique viewing experiences. I just hope the products are commercially viable soon.

Good bye LCD & Plasma..... HELLO Laser TV

CRT screens have been the norm for home television for many years and is still today the most favored television system, due to it's low price tag. But LCD and Plasma screens have been creeping in to the market becoming a more common occurrence, due to it's picture quality and it's size. But recently there seems to be a new player in town which looks like it'll take over the LCD and plasma market. Laser TV, currently available by Mitsubishi, offers a screen that utilizes less power, provides more color, a better picture quality, faster screen refresh rates and no deterioration of image quality over time. The image you get from a Laser TV is sharper, clearer and brighter then any TV before it, whilst maintaining the quality from the time you buy it.
