Very Sexy Dell Crystal LCD Display For A Price

Posted: January 3rd, 2008 | Author: Daniel Georges | Filed under: Technology | Tags: , , , , , , | No Comments »

Dell CrystalThe 22-inch design concept has already shown off at trade shows and what not, but no release date was ever set for it. Not any longer with it being ready to ship in the next couple of days.
The 22-inch Dell Crystal LCD display features a resolution of 1680×1050 (WSXGA+), four speakers (apparently a first for Dell), 2ms response time, webcam, 98 percent colour gamut, 2000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, DVI and HDCP-compliant HDMI connectivity (in one cable). It looks sexy and it can do everything you will ever need, always nice to know.
Where is the catch? It’s the $US1199 price tag. What did you expect for a floating 4mm thick tempered glass screen overlay and polished metalĀ  stand? I think I will stick to my $US300 Viewsonic for a little bit longer.

Rearview Camera On Your Bike?

Posted: December 21st, 2007 | Author: Daniel Georges | Filed under: Transport | Tags: , , , , , | 1 Comment »

Rear View CameraYou can guess the purpose of the rear view camera on your car, and that is so you don’t have to turn your head to reverse (therefore making you even lazier then before) plus other safety options (like not backing over your kid). What is the purpose of it on a bike? No, not a road bike, but a simple peddle bike!
Cerevellum have created a rear view camera for your peddle bike, which displays what is going on behind you on its 3.5 inch screen. The system also features a 4 hour battery life, 32 mb of storage for workout data, and 4 USB ports for expanding the device with modules (GPS maybe?). The cost of this handle bar mounted device will be around $US200, but is still currently a concept.
If you have ever ridden a bike on the open road, you will know how dangerous it can be so this could be a logical solution. When you are travelling at higher speeds, turning your head to check around you could be dangerous, but is it enough to rely on a electronic device? What do you guys think?
