Enviromental effects of LCD tv's

http://environment.newscientist.com/article/dn15032-flatscreen-tvs-turn-up-the-heat-on-climate.html
Researches are now reporting that while in the manufacturing process of LCD tv's they use a gas that is more effective at heating the atmosphere than carbon dioxide by more than 17,000times. They gas is a bi-product of them making circuit boards.

I personally find it stupid they use something that can be so harmful to make things and they are doing it in mass production so they are creating a lot of this gas.

The Internet & the Developing World

The internet is becoming more accessible in developing countries. Some find is unlikely but 61 percent of the world's 2.7 billion mobile phone users are from developing countries. Many of them use it to access the internet. It is also helping them raise money by creating websites and other ways. It is a more affordable for minimum wage families to buy a cell phone than a pc.

3-D TV

Scientists are saying that within our lifetime we may be getting rid of our current TV sets. Some people are optomistic it can happens the projections would be changing hundreds of times a second and some say it is not possible. Japan is really pushing for it spending big bucks on it try to get a prototype they hope they will have one by the year 2010. I for one hope they do it is a fasinating idea and would be amazing if it is possible.

Google revamped their iGoogle. They added customization to make it more personal for the user. This is a great idea due to making it more personal than just logging in seeing a white screen with a search bar. I think it will attract more people to use it just because i found google to be a better search engine but a little plain, but this revamp will allow alot more customization and more reflective of your personality.

Micron

Micron is a company that is one of the worlds largest producers of memory chips. They are going out of business so the price on memory chips is going down. Prices on the chips are dropping largely and and Micron announced on Oct 1 they had $344 million loss in the fourth-quarter .

This could be a good thing but what happens when the they shut down the prices will probably sky rocket due to not as many coming out.

Laptop Killer

They are saying the new blackberry might eliminate laptops. They are testing and compairing the applications currently.

Do I think cell phones will replace laptops, no Laptops are getting very small and still have more versatility which I think cell phones will ever pass


Yes it is a little lacking sry.

Clickjacking

No I have never heard of it. From what I understand it is not a good thing because they can see and hear what you are talking about. The style that they use is a hidden link that allows them to access your computer that they put on web pages.

Texting is for romantics

http://www.informationweek.com/news/mobility/messaging/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=210800540
A lot of people over 50% use it for sending love messages or flirting. I dont like to discuss messages I receive its personal I even have a block on my phone so only I can access them.

iPhone killer

G4TV reviewed this phone the other day and I completeley agreed with them. They said It was a good phone but if it is not as good as the iPhone due to it having issues with the touch motion compared to iphone (it gets buggy when it gets near the sides) and it is lacking a few great things that iPhone has.
