Philips AC-powered OLED module: a more reliable, cheaper alternative for light bulbs

Philips, a well known name for TVs and screens is testing the waters for an alternative for a more reliable, cheaper alternative to current light bulbs. Philips believes that Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED) are not only good for displays, but they work just as well when used for lighting. Up until now, OLED technology took the high voltage AC from the wall and converted it to  a low voltage DC to supply the diodes. By eliminating this AC to DC conversion process and having the diodes run directly of AC eliminates expensive bulky unnecessary components and produces more efficient light. 


I believe that this technology has potential, my next questions would be: how bright will they be and what are they going to cost?

ViewSonic MB-P702, an e-reader and HD video player in COLOR!

I think we have a great concept here as far as tablets here. With a 7 inch 800x480 resolution, the LCD touchscreen display functions as an e-reader, and displays movies in color, but it is unknown that it offers internet browsing. There is defiantly potential here in the future if they decide to turn it into a full functioning internet-based tablet!

Dual 5D Mark IIs used to produce HDR Video!?

Its only a matter of time until you start to see HDR becoming a standard in video and photography. Take the picture above for example, with HDR you are able to achieve a more realistic capture. Then to top it all off being able to achieve this element in VIDEO... movies will never be the same! The effect has been accomplished by Soviet Montage Productions. Two Canon EOS 5D Mark II DSLRs where used along with a beam splitter, which allows each camera to look at the exact same subject. I believe it is only a matter of time before camcorders today come with dual lenses in order to achieve HDR, rather than rigging a set-up with two 5D Mark IIs.
