LG is aiming to make technology easier to understand. A lot of us simply don’t have time to figure out every button and feature on our treasured TV set, and remote controls can be particularly confusing. LG acted upon this insight by producing a remote control that interacts with the TV via your hand’s motion (for Wii fanatics, this is very much like the Wii wand).

Today we got to see for the first time the new family of I nfinia premium viewing TVs. This range includes Full LED Slim TVs and accessories. The Full LED Slim TVs work with “detailed local dimming of up to 240 addressable segments, resulting in an HDTV that provides deeper black levels and uniform picture quality – this typically can not be achieved on an ultra-thin set.” (This basically means far better contrast between dark and light.) Aside from OLED, these puppies really are the crème de la crème of TV viewing for the year ahead: All have wireless Internet connectivity All are HDTVs and will allow HD content on whichever platform suits the viewer: Freeview HD , Freesat, Satellite or cable plus Sky’s new 3D service The majority is single layer – which means no external plastic frame/bezel All have a slim design, seamless connectivity and limitless content options The Full LED 9 series are a super thin 2.3cm/0.92″ depth (see pictures!!) The Infinia range will be available from April 2010 and also includes other premium LED and Plasma models Movie of Infinia Full LED TV 9 series

By Jim Fusco: And a Happy New Year to you- I’m Jim Fusco back for another year of the Laptop Sessions. I’m also back with Number 200! That’s right, tonight’s video is my 200th and it kicks off a brand new year of great acoustic cover song music videos here on the most popular music blog that isn’t corporately-owned…well, I can’t substantiate that claim… Anyway, I figured I’d kick the New Year and new decade off right with a New Year’s song in “Ding Dong Ding Dong”, a hit single off of George Harrison’s Dark Horse album. If you’ve heard the original version of this song, you probably wondered why George’s voice sounded so raw and raspy. No, he wasn’t taking vocal cues from his pal (and future Traveling Wilburys member) Bob Dylan. He was actually suffering from a terrible break-up when his wife ran off with his best friend, Eric Clapton. It forced the two friends to not speak for a long time (yes, significant others can change people and break friends apart, that’s for sure), but eventually they reconciled…once she and Eric broke up, too! That’s a fairytale friendship story if I ever heard one. The title track from Dark Horse also features George’s gravelly vocals and it’s actually a nice tool he uses well on these somewhat bitter songs. I mean, George was always one to write songs against the “establishment” (like “Taxman”, “Not Guilty”, and “Devil’s Radio”), but this time, it was a more personal fight. One can only think that “ringing out the old and bringing in the new” has to be correlated to his estranged wife leaving the picture

When Michael Jackson died on June 25, millions of people flooded onto Google News to find the latest information about what had happened. The spike in traffic was so massive that Google suspected a malware attack and began blocking anyone searching for “Michael Jackson.” It’s a funny story, but it illustrates how the Web is changing. People increasingly turn to the Internet for up-to-the-minute information about, well, everything—blog postings about celebrity antics, status updates from friends, and pictures and videos of political events as they unfold, like the protests over the Iranian election

While trying to find more information on the meteor shower I was promised last night but didn’t see, I came across this gorgeous video on YouTube today. In the words of Tony Darnell, who scripted the narration and shared it with the world: I’ve recently discovered an animation that was rendered using the measured redshift of all 10,000 galaxies in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field image. I’ve written a short script that leads you through a quick history of both deep field images and this video ends with a fly-through of the Ultra Deep Field
