From what I can figure, it is LED, individually addressable LED back lighting I think.
Dolby has been developing and pushing this tech for a decade.

One group I work with is communication disfunctional.
Between slack, DMs in slack (almost any combination of users), slack on laptop, slack on phone, plus email from multiple accounts and FB messages and text messages I will see something but may not be able to respond immediately. Then when I need to respond I have no idea where that message was.
Am I an ID10T? Is there some magic feature I am missing that could integrate all that into one search?
Yep. But for locking a display on a blank wall or talking to a holo avatar at a meeting or text message HUD or working on a CAD part it seems about perfect now.
I checked the Magic Leap. It looks like they help mitigate the FOV issue by wrapping steam punk goggles around to limit your FOV. I need to find a pair of those...
I assume the FOV issue can be fixed by expanding the display size. It just seems like more pixels which can be improved with some moores law. Maybe I am missing something?
Even with HL1 I never noticed the FOV issues. I just liked that I was not getting motion sickness. The stuff I looked at appeared locked in just fine. Maybe I don't focus much outside of my LOS?
Nice comparisons here:

I was fairly impressed with Hololens. I have not managed to get my hands on the Hololens2.
Since HL is AR, most of what you see is reality and just a little bit has to be rendered by the computer. It didn't seem like you would get motion sick that way.
Occulus though is another matter. Just a bit of FPS with total immersion and some difference in movement sets me off. You need some reality to keep your brain from getting confused and upsetting your stomach. The only mechanic I liked was teleport to move like in robo recall.
Mark my words, AR is a game changer. 5-10 years from now we will have low-cost high-res lightweight AR headsets.
The apple remote is so thin it is constantly lost. I almost want to tie it to a tether. I thought about a tile to track it but it is not usually hard to find.
I was not a fan of the swipe touch interface but it has really grown on me a bit. Hey, it removes five buttons (U/D/L/R/Select) so it is cleaner.
I end up using the iPhone remote when I have to but it does not do volume for some of my TVs.
Wife forced me into Apple TV and I am pretty happy with it. Things I wish for still:
Remote beeper (activate from phone) to find remote
Multiple remote (his/hers) with login capability for apps to bypass the who is using step.
A magic app that gives me clean access to all my subscriptions and accounts. Hulu, free youtube, netflix, etc.
BT speaker option when she wants me in silent mode.
Agreed. Without storage, wind and solar are going to eventually bite you in the rear.
Do we want everyone with generators just in case? Or walls of battery backup?
Some risk could be mitigated with low-loss long distance transmission from other regions. But eventually a large area will be hit with cloudy calm days...
At least solar thermal plants can be set up to make steam from biomass or petrochemicals when the sun fails. Fusion plants can't get here soon enough.
You must be new here.
Back in the good old days, the high-quality editors would have dupes on the same day, not months apart.
I swear I saw a "trupe" (tripe?) triple-posted article, all simultaneously on the front page once.
Wine can be awesome when it works. I remember getting it to run some stuff back in the 90s but the UI was usually fouled up.
I moved to VMware to ensure compatibility but it was usually slow.
Eventually, I sold out and run Windows but live in a cygwin shell 95% of the time.
Back in my day, we had Combat on the Atari 2600 and we liked it.
2kB should be enough for anyone.

Yep. Me too.
I was just wondering about SETI and here comes the doom for them...
After all that Google has abandoned over the years, why would anyone trust them for anything?
The big ones I think of are:
Reader
Wave
Picasa
Google+
I love google docs, android, and gmail but I would not be surprised to see them get dropped as well.
"The company did not elaborate on how the hydrogen fuel is supplied, and it did not respond to requests for comment."
So they may be using dirty hydrogen from fossil fuels. I have toured a German solar-powered electrolysis hydrogen production plant; one big enough to support a train would be a very substantial investment in size and money.
Not to mention the maintenance on fuel cells. PEMs are usually for small to medium installations, but there are issues with longevity of the expensive membranes. SOFCs are solid for applications that run continuously.
Of course. Why use anything else?
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
