SPAM: Samsung NC220 Monitor needs only Ethernet Cable

Submitted by i4u
i4u writes "The new Samsung NC220 Monitor just needs an Ethernet Cable to work.
The Cisco UPOE technology integrated in the NC220 is designed to enable that both data and power can be supplied through a single Ethernet cable, allowing for easier installation and more flexibility when configuring an office space. Cisco UPOE can supply up to 60 watts of power—twice as much as existing power-over-Ethernet technologies, which is currently restricted to 30 watts."

SPAM: 3DS Only Selling At Half The Rate Of DS

Submitted by i4u
i4u writes "Glasses-free 3D not a killer feature?

When you don't have any stellar games for a system, it's not going to do that well in the marketplace. That's the lesson Nintendo is learning with the 3DS.

After weeks of analysts talking about poor sales and an overwhelming lack of interest in the new glasses-free 3D handheld, Nintendo confessed in its own press release that the DS is still outselling the 3DS at a rate of two-to-one, but instead of treating it as a failure for the 3DS, you can probably guess how they spun it."

SPAM: LG Cinema 3D TV get Full HD Certification from VDE

Submitted by i4u
i4u writes "LG announced today that the German VDE, one of the largest technical and scientific associations in Europe, has certified the LG Cinema 3D TVs to be full HD in 3D-mode. LG’s Film Patterned Retarder (FPR) technology, used on the CINEMA 3D TVs, creates the perception of 3D depth by delivering two 540 line images, one for each eye, that are then combined via the glasses to create a unified 1080p image. The ruling from the VDE lets LG carry the full HD badge. There is no explanation one how the VDE arrives at this ruling.
My personal experience shows a rather big resolution difference between FPR and shutter glass based 3D TVs. What is your take?"

SPAM: Living Well on Solar Power.

Submitted by i4u
i4u writes "So, you've decided it's time to go off the grid. Time to disconnect yourself from fossil fuels and really get lost somewhere peaceful and isolated. But there's one problem: you're still a nerd. And still addicted to the shiny gadgets that make life in our bustling, noisy concrete swaps so hard to give up. It's time to start looking into solar power.

I've spent almost every weekend of the last several months out camping or working far away from power sockets and gasoline. Two panel kits- the Sherpa 50 and Sherpa 120 from Goal Zero, have accompanied me. Here's what I've learned about living off the sun."
