Dual view displays are old hat by now, but LG ups the ante by offering a Triple View LCD panel. This 47″ prototype offers up to three different images simultaneously, depending on where you’re looking from, making this the ideal display for advertising and engaging multiple consumers simultaneously. This LCD panel is able to hit full High Definition resolution (1,920 x 1,080), but it remains to be seen just how much it will cost when it is being mass manufactured.

Rosen has rolled out its 3.-in-1 hard drive-based media player - the RG-360. This device supports majority of popular Internet video formats such as RMVB, H.264, WMA, MPEG-2/4, DivX and XviD, making it perfect for the living room. In addition, the networkable multimedia hard drive player is also able to record your favorite shows, boasts HDMI connectivity for you to get on with the High Definition program sometime down the road, as well as network storage functions for superior flexibility. No idea on the pricing though.

Is this the coolest NES mod you’ve ever seen or what - the whole works, consisting of an NES emulator system, controls, an LCD display, all crammed into an original NES cartridge. What more can an old school video game fanboy ask for? Of course, the mod case itself took a fair bit of hits during the modification process, but that only adds to the overall character. Too bad you don’t see the same level of devotion from Sega Game Gear or Master System fans…

Sharp has a couple of new solar-powered LED street lights that will hit the Japanese market later next month, merging both Sharp’s proprietary solar modules and high-intensity, long-life white LEDs. First off we have the Sharp LN-LW3A1 Solar-Powered LED Street Light that offers the highest level rating for light output, hitting an amount that is comparable to the 20-W class of security lights, making it ideal for spot lighting in areas such as public parks. In addition, these inventions boast a Seismic Motion Sensor that is able to detect whether an earthquake which measures 5 or more on the Japanese seismic scale is about to hit the Land of the Rising Sun. Good to see Japan taking pro-active steps in going green - when will the rest of the world follow closely?

With all these new small netbooks/compact laptops like the Asus EEE people keep commenting in online forums such as Slashdot, Engadget, DailyTech, etc. that Vista will crawl and that Vista sucks at this and that and will run like a dog. Really? Maybe if they pulled their heads out of their collective MS hating asses long enough to actually try it instead of repeating what other gerbil zealots are posting online they could get a clue.I run Vista Business edition on an old IBM x31 ultra light laptop from 2003 with a paltry old Pentium M 1.4 Ghz processor and it runs great; I have 2 Gigs of ram and have upgraded the hard drive for more space and speed. Vista Business edition ditches all the fancy pants Premium graphics effects however it still looks almost the same and operates the same. Office 2007 runs fine and I prefer Vista because I can plug anything into that old laptop and it just works. Cameras, GPS, 3G modems, etc. All that and it weighs like 3lbs and fits into my book bag.To sum it up on one phrase…Vista haters can suck it!
