In order for the WHDI technology to work properly, the group intends to introduce a revolutionary video-modem that operates in the 5GHz unlicensed band to enable robust wireless delivery of uncompressed HD video (including 1080p and Super Hi-Vision standards). WHDI provides secure, encrypted HD video delivery through multiple rooms and other potential signal obstructions, such as people, furniture and walls, while maintaining a 3Gbps data flux with less than one-millisecond latency.

The newly-founded group will ensure the wireless uncompressed HD video and audio transmission between CE devices such as LCD and plasma HDTVs, multimedia projectors, A/V receivers, DVD and BD players, set-top boxes (STBs), game consoles, and PCs. The new interoperable standard also aims to facilitate flawless connections between CE devices manufactured by different vendors.

While all the above-mentioned companies will contribute to the development of the WHDI standard, WHDI still remains a trademark of AMIMON, Ltd.

The Goldmund U-32 was created to meet the demands of Goldmund clients looking to build larger media rooms that can seat up to 50 guests. The new Goldmund U-32 Processor includes a set of high-power digital signal processors (DSP) capable of more than 50 times the power output of current solutions. When paired with the recently announced U-Telos family of amplifiers form Goldmund, which is capable of achieving an ideal crossover for the associated speaker with full time delay correction and a signal measurement feature to control the protection of each driver it operates, the Goldmund U-32 can reach an infinite number of discreet channels, which is necessary to properly reproduce extreme surround-sound accuracy in a very large Goldmund Media Room.

The new Goldmund Media Rooms provide unparalleled surround sound by enveloping each individual user with a higher than usual number of speakers, each being smaller and less expensive, each non-audible separately, but together capable of providing each user with sound levels up to 130dB at all frequencies. Hey, that’s more than a plane jet engine can produce!

Under the gold plate, the Pico-C Gold 8GB USB flash drive is made of steel and designed in such a way to be shock resistant and water resistant, even if it weighs just 4.7 grams.
In its 8GB storage capacity it can support up to 2,000 MP3 songs, while the transfer speeds reaches 30MB/sec.
You can even wear it as a necklace unde the T-shirt, as it comes with a cool accessory, a sturdy gold chain, which can be attached to your cell phone or other portable handset.

“Is it the speed, the ruggedness, the water resistance, the incredibly tiny size or the pure elegance that people like most in our Pico-C drive? Who knows? But, this combination of features and style is not offered in any other terrestrial storage device, which makes it a real craze,” declared Super Talent Marketing Director, Joe James.

Pico-C Gold is compatible with USB 1.1 and the high-speed USB 2.0 and supports up to 10 years data retention, while it’s plug-and-play.
In addition to its cool features, the USB drive comes with a lifetime warranty at a reasonable price of $40. You can find it with capacities ranging from 1GB to 8GB.

Super Talent Technology is a Californian company with award winning memory-based products, partnered with leading computing solutions developers such as Samsung, Asus, AMD and Intel.

“Artists and producers work hard in the studio perfecting their sound, but people can’t really hear it with normal headphones,” says Dr. Dre. “Most headphones can’t handle the bass, the detail, the dynamics. Bottom line: the music doesn’t move you. With Beats, people are going to hear what the artists hear and listen to the music the way they should - the way I do.”

According to the press release, Beats by Dr. Dre provide the best sound clarity, deep bass and high power, based on the idea of creating a new type of headphones, capable to reproduce the full spectrum of sound that musical artists and producers hear in professional recording studios. The three specialists in sound accomplished this by using advanced materials, sophisticated construction, extra large drivers, and a powerful digital amplifier. The powered ambient noise-isolation contributes at creating the quietness of an isolated recording studio.

If you have an iPhone 3G, Blackberry or other high-end music-enabled device, you can connect the Monster’s iSoniTalk headphone cable with integrated high grade microphone and answer button.
These high definition headphones will be available exclusively at Apple, Best Buy and beatsbydre.com, the official website of the model, starting July 25, at a price of $349.95.

“Dre and I have been developing these headphones for a while and in Monster we found a partner that could work with us to crystallize his vision and develop them to the quality level he expects,” said Jimmy Iovine, Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records. “Beats By Dr. Dre is yet another example of Interscope’s commitment to working together with its artists in developing new avenues to experience music.”

According to Kevin Lee, VP of Product and Marketing for Monster, it took 3 years of hard word to develop these headphones, considered to be the best headphones ever built. They are equipped with a wide adjustable headband, soft plush hinged ear cups and the high-quality Monster cable.
In addition to its highest quality, Beats by Dr. Dre sports a stylish exterior design and come with a comfortable hip carrying case accessory.

According to T3, each of these laptops is hand built, with authentic Bentley cross-over hand-stitching. The color schemes are said to really match those of the famous luxury cars. When you open up the laptop, you can see the shiny metal reflects the paint job on the outside, while the outer leather is taken straight from Bentley’s seats.

The metal carry handle is shaped just like the car’s door handle. OK, what about specs? The Bentley laptop comes with preinstalled Microsoft Vista Ultimate and is powered by a 64 bit processor of your choice. It also comes with a 160GB hard drive and there are 12 direct access keys for quickly getting to the point. Presumably it comes with many more goodies like 4GB DDR3 and a SLI configuration and a 20” LCD maybe. I mean, how else would they justify the £10,000 price tag? No big deal if you already have a Bentley, anyway.

Gizmodo says there are absolutely no computer generated effects in this video. The dinosaur you see is an Animatronics-like mechanical robot, but with more refined movements than those Jurassic park monsters. It looks pretty real, and it might even eat up your kids if you let them alone with the famished robot. Well, not really, but it sure can scare the living daylights out of a bunch of meddling kids that are ready to lay waste on your backyard. Or it could help you with those pesky trick-or-treaters that come around Halloween. Eheh, they would be in for a nasty trick… raaaaahr!

The 8 Series brings two models, the Bernina 820 and 830 Bernina embroidery machines, the first one being prepared for the market in 2009, featuring a 12-inch extended arm, a 12.8-inch diagonal space, 5.12-inch height, the world’s fastest home sewing speed of 1,100 stitches per minute, the Bernina Stitch Regulator for free-motion sewing, a pop-out jumbo bobbin with 40% more capacity than the other machines, the Bernina Dual Feed for better control your largest quilts, presser-foot height adjustments, a row of bright LED lights illuminating the work space, and multiple spool holder for large and small cones.

We have contacted the company to find out the price information, and we’ll get back to you with it as soon as we’ll have it.

E Ink gadgets use an electronic paper display with high contrast, very low power consumption and a lighter-weight thin shape. The ink carries a charge and can be updated electronically. It consists of millions of tiny micro capsules having positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles suspended in a clear fluid. As the negative electric field is applied, white particles start moving to the top of the micro capsule, becoming visible to the user.

Cybook GEN3 is the most improved version of this portable eBook reader model, featuring the E Ink-based display offering high viewability in any light conditions, from any angle, without showing flicker effects. As it looks like a normal paper, you can’t use it in dark environments, but it has a resolution of 166 dpi, 600 x 800 pixel, black and white display, 6 inches in diagonal, 4 grey levels, portrait or landscape modes, and the Vizplex technology, the fastest and brightest electronic paper display from the E Ink Corporation, providing 80% improved refresh rate and 25% more brightness.
As it was designed with a 1-mm thick screen and integrating a very small Lithium Polymer battery, the new Cybook portable eBook reader measures just 188 x 118 x 8.5 mm at a weight of 174 grams. The E Ink technology doesn’t require power to maintain an image so while you read a page it doesn’t consume power, this leading to an increased battery life for up to 8,000 screen refreshes.

You can store your books either in the internal memory of the Cybook or in an extra optional memory card. The books can be stored either on its internal 512MB space or on a memory card with which you can add up to 2GB, meaning 10,000 standard books in Mobipocket, HTML or Text format.
The 1000 mAh Li-Pol battery charges via the Cybook USB connector in 3 hours, and to maintain it you could switch between the following modes: Sleep mode, which increased the battery life up to one week; Off mode; and the Normal mode with the processor running at full speed and with the MP3 playing. The latter lasts up to 3 hours.

Cybook GEN3’s interface is described as highly responsive, accessible via buttons, so you can turn page forward/backward, jump to a specific page, display position in the book, increase font size and reflow text automatically, modify font family and reflow text, display/hide header information, activate hyperlink within text or image, lookup word definition or translation from loaded dictionaries, add bookmark to pages, switch layout to landscape mode, zoom pages, modify number of items displayed per page, filter by document type, sort documents, start/stop slideshow between images or eBooks, deactivate/activate flashing between screen, activate/deactivate auto shut-off, playback MP3s, and generate custom newspaper with RSS feeds and synchronize it via USB with the Cybook.
Also, you have access to the free Mobipocket Desktop Reader software with tones of books available for download on the Cybook.
You can even read several books at the same time.

The Cybook GEN3 eReader is available at Booken online store at a price of $350.

After watching the following demonstration video i realized that i don’t like its black&white interface and the flash-like light between changing pages, but this is how far the electronic paper technology was developed by now.

This clip was filmed in Santa Monica, CA, at Glow ‘08. Glow is an annual art and music festival with a bunch of cool events and attractions, and this year’s coolest event has been the “Primal Source,” a gigantic fountain with projections on it built by Usman Haque. It looks like a gigantic drug-induced hallucination. Projecting laser stuff on walls would have been outdated, but projecting hallucinatory light patterns on veils of water is something you don’t see every day. The agglomeration of psychedelic lights really confuses and adds to the impression you’re being stoned.

Apparently, there was some pot and acid available for the people on the beach, but the light show on its own was enough to drive most of the people crazy. You can hear some of them reacting pretty weird to the psychedelic lights.

Now, don’t expect this thing to teleport you to some other worlds. Anyhow, most of the body and mechanisms are made out of carbon fiber, and the perfluorinated, hypoallergenic rubber wristband is impervious to “all acids,” according to the designer. Acids? Wait; is this going to become standard gear for the future marines pitted against those swarms of Aliens?

Gizmodo informs that the designer factored in the natural asymmetry of the human arm, and made the crown side of the watch thicker so it would fit almost perfectly. The new breed of rubber that makes up the band is also used to seal the watch, and Kapshitzer guarantees it’ll last for 50 years.

OK, it looks cool and all that, but does it actually tell the time? Located eccentrically towards the right of the dial, a cut-away metal piece reveals the jumping hours and minutes on two superimposed discs. The seconds are displayed in the 3 o’clock area on a cylinder linked directly to the crown. The 9 o’clock area of the dial forms the tail of the “spaceship.”

Alright, Data, set course for Earth 2, warp 9!
