Microsoft Surface - A Phase or the Future?

Posted 7 months, 3 weeks ago at 1:52 pm. 0 comments

So, Microsoft have yet again released another “Product”, but with their common failures of software and hardware (Windows Vista, Mobile Phones etc) then what makes the Surface Anything Different?

From looks they look amazing, something that would be amazing in a bar or hotel, at home? Nah Dont think it will ever ever hit off, the lack of keyboards and having to “Finger Paint” emails to me looks like a complete balls up!

Whilst being able to paint like an artist with a brush, or play the piano will amuse a large amount of people, but will it just be one of those “Wow its amazing” Things like the nintendo wii, that we will just bored of too quick?

Sony OLED TV - 1,000,000 - 1 Contrast Ratio

Posted 7 months, 3 weeks ago at 1:42 pm. 0 comments

So Sony have now started mass producing their OLED TV’s,

So what does OLED Mean? organic light-emitting diode!

Or to you and me, 3mm thick screens with a 1,000,000 - 1 contrast ratio, and a very fast response time.. Great eh? Yeah sure, only problem is their 27″ 3mm thick TV only offers a resolution of 1024 x 600*, a Very HIGH Price Tag, and a LOW Lifespan!

So what will become of this technology? Is the lifespan dependant on how long the TV is on? Or is it just a standard “food” lifespan, best before xxxx? Who knows, one thing for certain though is this could be fab for inside cars!
