Is 3-D TV A Passing Fad?

Diamonds: Hard as Aerogel
Diamonds are as useful as they are beautiful. They coat our blades, sharpen our tools, and convince women way out of our league to marry us. Researchers have now managed to construct a diamond aerogel 40 times as dense as air. Continue reading

E Ink strikes first with color e-paper display

GEARgasm: 43″ Ostendotech CRVD Curved Display
I wouldn’t even bother to besmirch the sanctity of the 43″ Ostendotech CRVD display and its 0.02 millisecond response time and 2880×900 resolution with the mediocrity that is my computer. A display like this deserves nothing less than a custom-built gaming behemoth. Most Alienware gamer rigs are too modest for this bad boy. With its awesome curved form factor you’re enveloped in the game like never before. Can any of your friends say they’ve been hugged by Google? I think... Continue reading
