Samsung’s First 3D TV Available

We’ve been waiting for this now for quite a while for this day to arrive. Samsung have just started shipping the first of their HD 3D TVs in the US as the world gets ready for 3D content to start going live. This is a whopping 55 inch TV that is stunning to look at, even when it’s turned off. However, all 55 inches will set you back just under $3,300. Ouch!

Plus, those shutter glasses which we talked about earlier will set you back another few bucks (between $150 and $200 probably) if you ever want to activate the TV’s 3D mode which I assume everyone who just paid an arm and a leg for the thing will.

Both Amazon and Sears are now selling the product with free delivery. So if you fancy watching World Cup 2010 in 3D, order now while stocks last. There’s sure to be a rush for these babies. Last time I checked Amazon there was only two left!

Toshiba Release 3D TV SuperComputer

Toshiba have just announced the arrival of their new TV – what must be the most powerful TV in the universe. It’s called the Cell TV and is available in 55 or 65 inch versions. Don’t it look good?

Well it’s the insides that I’m more concerned about. They have crammed in multiple eight-core processors which all combine to make it more powerful than ten average desktop computers and 143 times faster than rival televisions. Impressive right? Toshiba think so too.

The possibilities of what we can do are really endless,” said Scott Ramirez, vice president of marketing for Toshiba’s TV group, during a press conference.

The TV is also connected to the internet via WiFi or an Ethernet cable allowing content to be downloaded and streamed. You can also browse the net and hold video calls by using the inbuilt video camera and microphone.

2010 has been dubbed the year of 3D TV, well this TV has a processor which makes normal TV ‘jump’ out of the screen at you. This includes things like football which was thought too complex and fast-paced to be made 3D just a few years ago.

This TV will go down in the history books as a turning point in home entertainment, home computing and technology in general.

Internet Fame Being A Movie Celebrity

Hollywood, for some, is a place of fantasies and dreams considered unattainable by many. There’s a great many of us who at one point dreamed of making it big and entertaining millions. For some of us we watch movies and laugh, saying that we could easily have played that part better. Well now you can put yourself in a movie with Yoostar.

Yoostar provides you with a green screen, studio-grade webcam, remote control and PC software. The price for being famous comes in at the low cast of $170. The package comes with 12 movie scenes to select from, placing you in the middle of the action, but more scenes are available via download. So now reach that Hollywood status may not be something we all achieve from real life, but in all, this sounds like a fun way to approach a Friday or Saturday night, but how long does the fun really last?

Your recordings and placement into the movie scenes are spit out in a web-ready clip that can be posted online for all your friends to see. Personally this sounds like something I’d probably pass over, but for some of us, it’s as attractive as Karaoke. I know better that if I was not cast in a movie or allowed to sing a song I stay away…far away. The worst part of the whole experience?

Is that what the marketing team came up with? This does not bold well my friends.
