"Sony's otherwise dull pre-NAB press conference yielded one gem -- the NEX-FS700 cinema camera -- which the company announced earlier this month. The FS700 doesn't include 4K shooting functionality out of the box, but it is 4K capable, with the appropriate software coming later in the form of a firmware update. The camera includes the familiar Sony E-mount, bringing with it compatibility with interchangeable lenses, including the standard 18-200mm lens attached to the demo camera at today's event. There's also a trio of ND filters on board -- 1/64ND, 1/16ND and 1/4ND -- along with some impressive slow-motion capabilities, ranging from 120 to 240 frames-per-second in 1080p, going all the way up to 960fps if you're willing to sacrifice full-HD resolution. Company reps confirmed that the camera is expected to retail for "under $10,000" when it hits the market in June, while that 4K update should hit before the year is out, once Sony's external recorder becomes available. The body itself looks very similar to its predecessor, the NEX-FS100, and is lightweight enough for comfortable handheld shooting.

LG ANNOUNCES GLOBAL LAUNCH OF 3D WORLD, NEXT GENERATION PREMIUM 3D CONTENT SERVICE

3D World to Improve Access to High Quality 3D Content for
LG Customers and Boost Efforts to Increase 3D Content Collaboration


"SEOUL, Apr. 16, 2012 – LG Electronics (LG) announced the worldwide opening of 3D World, a premium content service that will be available to LG's CINEMA 3D Smart TV users in nearly 70 countries. With DNA from LG's original 3D Zone Smart TV app launched last year, 3D World gives LG customers access to an expansive selection of high quality 3D content via a "card" on the Home Dashboard.

3D World allows customers the ability to search through high quality 3D content across numerous content categories such as entertainment, sports, documentary, kids, and lifestyle. Once the content is selected, LG's CINEMA 3D Smart TV brings it to life in beautifully rendered 3D images. The action scenes in sports become more dynamic and exciting, documentaries more realistic, educational videos in the kids' category more captivating.

Whether it's cooking, travel, fashion or any other interest, there's something for everyone. In addition to the content, LG plans to pursue further collaborations with global 3D content providers in order to bring the most sought after 3D content to LG customers.

"3D World is a critical part of LG's long-term strategy which includes controlling more of the 3D ecosystem that CINEMA 3D owners experience," said Havis Kwon, President and CEO of LG Home Entertainment Company. "With the global roll-out of 3D World, LG is demonstrating its commitment to providing diverse, high quality 3D content."

3D World will be offered in app-format for CINEMA 3D Smart TVs that were produced in 2011, while 2012 models will use the streamlined card system on the Home Dashboard." ...

Also packed in will be four hours of bonus features, including an all new documentary The Shark Is Still Working: The Impact & Legacy of Jaws." ...

Not surprising probably just want to check it out. I mean it is Nokia getting back into the fray. The Nokia 900 has been number 1 on Amazon phone sales for the past week and most ATT stores are sold out. Perhaps, Windows Phone has a fighting chance after all....

"Well, people, it looks like that massive marketing budget, backing the AT&T exclusive Nokia Lumia 900 is starting to pay some serious dividends. No other but Apple’s co-founder Steve Wozniak might have picked one up, according to his own tweet from earlier today."

"Well, a week (or two) is a long time in the technology industry, and despite that joint venture with Sony heading south, it's not all bad news for Sharp. According to a press release from the panel maker, it has begun production of the world's first screens based on IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) technology. These screens are said to promise twice the detail as existing panels of similar transparency, which also translates into a hefty 90 percent reduction in power consumption, reports PC World. Sharp did kindly share some sample specifications, such as a 7-inch tablet display touting a 1280 x 800 resolution equaling 217 ppi, and a 32-inch 3840 x 2160 screen at 140 ppi, to give you an idea of what we can expect." ...

Saw this last night and it was a bit over-hyped for me. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't scary at all and I get what Joss Whedon is trying to do and that is deconstruct the horror genre much like Scream did. For the most part the accomplished this task, ...
