It may be lagging three inches behind Panasonic's big telleh, but Mitsubishi's whopping great screen is OLED. Or should that be ZOLED? It was unveiled at ISE 2010, with Number 6 and Boomer dressy-likeys lending a hand.

The screen is actually made up of ten-centimeter-square panels, with a resolution of 1088 x 640p. Light output is 1500cd/m2 - that's loads brighter than your common-or-garden LCD display, meaning that it will work in brightly-lit areas indoors - CES 2011, I guess that means you. Time someone updated Chandler: "She was cute enough to make a gadget hack kick a hole in an OLED display screen."

Air New Zealand Adds USB Ports, iPod Connectors and Power Sockets To Each Seat





When you're flying 90 odd-hrs just to get to Auckland, you'd be wanting to charge your iPod or laptop at least once. Air New Zealand's done a major overhaul of its Boeing 777 plane, with sockets and USB ports galore. It's not just for the suit-clad first class and business class passengers either. 11 Skycouches that turn into flat beds for two will make those weeks in the air fly past quickly, with the other seats providing extra leg room and comfort. But that's not the best bit—the power sockets, iPod connectors and USB ports on each seat will blow people's minds. You know, for that full 3-month long flight to Wellington.

NEW Wii CONTROLLER!!!!!!


The Classic Controller Pro for Wii has been available in Japan for some time already, but it's making its way to these here parts this April.

The controller looks like it came from the PS2 factory, and it won't plug directly directly into your Wii. Instead, you have to plug it into your Wii Remote, which isn't that much of a hassle. It'll ship with Monster Hunter Tri, but will also be sold separately for $20.

The Classic Controller Pro will come in black or white, and be compatible more than 450 Wii, WiiWare, and Virtual Console games. The design includes a second row of shoulder buttons, and an "ergonomic" grip, which sounds like marketing pablum to me. Still, though, looks neat!


OPINIONS:

IT LOOKS LIKE THE PS3 CONTROLLER I THINK THEY COPIED THE DESIGN BECAUSE SONY IS DESIGNING A MOTION CONTROLLER SIMILAR TO THE WII!!

VERY SMALL VACUUM!







Weighing just 3.5kg, it's small enough to fit in your hand like a little kitten. It's about as powerful as other Dysons, so sucking up all those cat hairs shouldn't be too much of a problem for the City DC26.

It's apparently been in the works for five years, according to vacuum god James Dyson:

"It took us five years to painstakingly compress and rebuild every single component before we had a machine that was a third smaller than its predecessor, yet could still tackle dirt like bigger machines."

On sale from this weekend in the UK, it'll cost £249.99 and will be available in "satin blue." No word yet on worldwide availability, apart from Japan where it's already on sale, though when it launches in the US we'll let you know. [Dyson]

OMG CHINA BEING CENSORED!!!!!!!!!






Censorship's been an ongoing issue in China for decades, but in the last week Google's really opened a can of worms. Now, the massive carrierChina Mobile has been found snooping on people's messages, looking for "illegal or unhealthy content."

The Chinese government has supplied a list of keywords for China Mobile to search for, targeting those engaged in piracy, pornography and anything else they deem as being unsavory. Get this—if they find someone who's using the specific keywords, they'll lock the phones so that they're no longer able to send text messages. Makes you feel a whole lot happier with your current network provider, doesn't it.

I THINK HONESTLY WHY DO THEY NEED TO BE CENSORED!

CENSORSHIP IS DUMB!!

VIDEO GAMES ARE POISION! WTF!?!?!??!?!???!?










CARACAS (AFP) – Sony's PlayStation video game console is "poison" and leads children down the capitalist "road to hell," Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said.

Chavez, in his weekly radio-TV show "Alo Presidente," called on Venezuelan manufacturers to make "educational" toys and dolls with indigenous peoples' features to replace capitalistic counterparts like the Barbie doll that "have nothing to do with our culture."

In expanding on his dislike of western toys and games -- he already slammed Nintendo for promoting "selfishness, individualism and violence," Chavez Sunday took on the world's top selling game console, Sony's PlayStation.

"Those games they call 'PlayStation' are poison. Some games teach you to kill. They once put my face on a game, 'you've got to find Chavez to kill him.'"

The firebrand leftist president said any game that "bomb cities or just throw bombs," are sold by capitalist countries to sow violence so they can "later sell weapons."

They "promote the need for cigarettes, drugs and alcohol so they can sell them. That's capitalism, the road to hell," he added.

Venezuela, Chavez said, should be making "educational games," and suggested designing "little indigenous dolls" to sell in place of dolls "like Barbie, that have nothing to do with our culture."

Venezuelan lawmakers in October passed a law outlawing the sale of "bellicose" games and videogames that can be punished with up to five years imprisonment.

THIS GUY IS MENTALLY ILL HE THINKS THAT VIDEO GAMES AND BARBIES ARE BAD AND LEAD YOU TO CAPITALISM. HE IS JUST MAD THAT THEY PUT ON HIS FACE ON A GAME AND TOLD THE PEOPLE TO KILL HIM. SO HE LIKES EDUCATIONAL GAME, GO TO SCHOOL IT'S A VERY EDUCATIONAL GAME. I DONT LIKE THIS GUY HE IS WEIRD.

T-fal Actifry Review: Frying Without Oil











Price

$300 - Out for about a year in the UK, just hitting the US market.

How It Works

I've described the Actifry to friends as an ice cream maker combined with a convection oven. Basically, it's a big nonstick pan equipped with a constantly rotating silicone stirrer. You load all the food into the pan, drizzle it with a relatively small amount of oil and then close the clear lid. The controls include just two buttons—one for on/off, one for a timer. Fired up, hot air blows around making it sound, as you might expect, like a weak hairdryer. The idea is that the air blows the oil around and cooks the food while the spatula keeps everything cooking evenly.

The Cook-Off

I put the Actifry through three crucial tests, constantly questioning whether it was better than a convection oven. The first, chicken wings (buffalo style), because you can't generally duplicate a the crunch of a fried wing in the oven. The second, sweet potato fries. (Battered food like onion rings will just gunk up the system, so I settled for something that's also pretty difficult to oven fry.) And last, I made straight french fries—the devices biggest selling point by far.
