Samsung lunch new 4K technology

                                                     Samsung lunch new 4K technology

4K resolution is a generic term for display devices or content having horizontal resolution on the order of 4,000 pixels.

Several 4K resolutions exist in the fields of digital television and digital cinematography. In the movie projection industry, Digital Cinema Initiatives is the dominant 4K standard.

The television industry has adopted ultra high definition television as its 4K standard. As of 2013,

Samsung UE65F9000 4K Ultra HD TV Review

The last time we analysed the first in a series of cutting-edge TV products here at HDTVTest, we took the future success of the display technology for granted, and proclaimed that the first 3D television we were putting through our review process was the beginning of a new era. The market, and subsequently, the industry, seems to have had different ideas, with CE companies instead hoping that web-connected “Smart TV” technology will be of more interest to buyers.

So, should we be more cautious before suggesting that Samsung’s Ultra High Definition (UHD) UE65F9000 LED LCD TV is a sign of things to come? Owed to Moore’s Law, probably not. Just as with the early days of HDTV, UHDTV content is scarce, but it is coming.

None of that will stop tech pundits and consumers dismayed at the thought of their current flat panel no longer being cutting edge from predicting the failure of UHD. Already, the usual reasons are being cited: “you’ll need a huge screen”, “only experts will care for the difference”, “we’ll need to buy new screens”, “there’s no content”… in other words, the exact same arguments that were floated for the refusal of 720p-centric “HD Ready” displays, and shortly thereafter, the 1080p full HD screens which followed (apparently early technology refuseniks also suffer from short-term memory issues).

The New Mahindra Duro DZ bike

                                                     The New Mahindra Duro DZ bike

 

Remember the MonoTracer? Well here’s another vehicle classed within the motorcycle category but an entirely different concept! The Uno, designed by the 18-year old Ben J. Poss Gulak and his team is a self-balancing motorcycle that uses a pair of gyroscopes to constantly keep its rider upright. This means it only needs a set of wheels placed together and not like any motorcycle you’ve seen. It may not look really easy to ride but apparently it’s just controlled by an on/off switch and all you need to do to accelerate is lean forward. If you lean back, it reverses too – there’s something normal motorcycles can’t do!

The one-of-a-kind motorcycle was recently demonstrated at the 2008 National Motorcycle Show in Toronto, Canada.

D-Roll laptop

one of the best type of laptop available in this world.that 's call D - Roll laptop that could be role as a bag. 

Notebooks and tablets already offer pretty convenient computing on- the - go solutions, but Germany's Orkin Design proposes rolling both units in an ultra - portable package . The Rolltop concept will take advantage of advances in flexible OLED and touchscreen technology for a cylinder - shaped laptop that can be rolled out to a laptop , a tablet or a screen to create forms . The concept has been floating around for a while , but recently a few tweaks to the design.

D - roll laptop is a next generation concept laptop design that is so different from standard laptops and shape. This computer, which was inspired by the storage tubes that artists use to keep large drawings eliminates perception of the traditional book like laptops.

                  This laptop has two modes. If it is in full operation mode , the laptop fully developed and all peripheral devices are turned on . The main display is turned off and the smaller screen , combined with the key is on, allows users to check and send e - mail as D - roll is under email mode. VC is a useful add - on to take photos or videos you create some security locking system and a laptop to offer.

Rather than carry around a laptop in a laptop bag, filled with all kinds of cables , the Rolltop concept proposes bringing everything together in a flat panel that is wrapped around a central cylinder. The top of the column is released and acts as a stopper , while the strap doubles as a power cord (presumably some sort of battery technology is also included, although this is not specified ) . The central column also contains speakers, a camera , USB ports and a LAN port .

After opening the catch , the user will roll out the Rolltop display like a mat and then leave it flat to 17 - inch tablet PC , or raise one side of what looks like a notebook. The lower part of the screen is then used to enter on a virtual keyboard on the screen while the upper part is a 13 inch screen for viewing content. A pull - out support at the back also makes it possible to use as a screen the flat device - like screen and a stylus pen is included in the panel.

          When rolled up, Rolltop be 11 inches (28 cm) long and has a 3.26 - inch (8.3 - inch ) in diameter - and that's about all we can tell you. Because it is a concept designed to be built in the future some of the technological kinks still being worked on , but Orkin has stated its desire to see a real , real-world product. Intent this design course, there are many technical hurdles to overcome before it happens , and unfortunately the designers do little to shed light on how such problems will be addressed , leaving us to wonder .

It requires no great stretch of the imagination to the various technologies already used in dual - screen notebook , all-in -one computers and cutting edge tablets processed in Rolltop visualize. Recent developments in the twisted shield technology can also make this device a current possibility. However, information on how the internal components such as processors, memory, storage and graphics cards will be dealt imminent , so it seems that we just have to wait until there is more content for this project.

Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon Table PC

                                                   Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon Table PC

Beijing founded Lenovo is the firm that bought out IBM’s personal computer division, is now redefining the board game and the method of playing them. They have come up with the Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon Table PC,  a wide-screen 27-inch device made for your table that allows you to play board games digitally.
The table PC is essentially a large tablet that makes an iPhone look tiny although it is much thinner than those all-in-one desktop PCs that have a protruding back. Coming in at 18 pounds, it may not be something you bring everywhere although you may want to.

The range of new products they are making include dice that you can roll and the game automatically knows what you rolled, along with actual figures to be placed on a touch screen device with the board game on the screen. With a $1700 price tag it is tempting for anyone to want to snag one.

USB Bracelet

                                                              USB Bracelet

Is it jewelry? Or a computer peripheral? Actually, the USB Bracelet (€30; roughly $40) is a little of both. Made in Scandinavia, It features a silver and gold metal, 2GB thumb drive that serves as the clasp for a 4mm real braided leather cord. Available in black, brown, and beige, it sure beats that gold microprocessor necklace you bought last year.

Eton Boost Turbine

                                                               Eton Boost Turbine

Keep your electronics going through the next power outage with the Eton Boost Turbine ($60). This portable power pack features a 2000 mAH lithium-ion battery pack, a durable aluminum body, an LED charge indicator, a Micro-USB DC input for use with standard phone chargers, and your choice of one of four exterior colors. The big deal, however, is the built-in hand turbine power generator, which lets you juice up the battery, no electricity required.

JBL SoundFly

                                                                 JBL SoundFly

Wireless, full-home audio has been getting more realistic for a while now, but until recently, if you wanted that convenience you were also filling your home with fairly large speaker systems. The JBL SoundFly ($180-$200) is here to change all of that. Boasting 20 watts of power, this diminutive speaker plugs right into an outlet, leaving your tables and countertops empty. The Wi-Fi-enabled, AirPlay-compatible version can link with up to three other units for true whole-home audio, while the Bluetooth model will let you wirelessly jam in any room you stick it.

Livescribe Sky Smartpen

                                                  Livescribe Sky Smartpen

Merge your real-life note taking and online workflow with the Livescribe Sky Smartpen ($170-$200). Available in 2GB and 4GB models, this multi-function pen sports a built-in mic and speaker for recording and playing back the audio that accompanies your notes — up to 200 or 400 hours of it, respectively. Thanks to built-in Wi-Fi, it automatically sends notes and audio to Evernote, and can also share notes directly to other services. Best of all, you can access your notes from nearly anywhere, including on a PC, Mac, iOS or Android device, or pretty much anything with a browser.

Memoto Lifelogging Camera

                                                  Memoto Lifelogging Camera

Want a photo record of your life, but want to actually enjoy your life instead of taking pictures? Meet the Memoto Lifelogging Camera ($250). This roughly inch and a half square box clips onto your clothes using a sturdy stainless steel clip, and shoots one 5 megapixel, geotagged photo every 30 seconds, storing it on built-in memory that holds up to 4,000 pictures. A built-in accelerometer keeps it from nabbing shots of your desk or nightstand when you take it off, and when you plug it in all your photos are automatically uploaded and securely stored on Memoto's cloud servers for easy viewing via app or browser.

Apple iMac 2012

                                                            Apple iMac 2012

It'd been awhile since Apple had rolled out a new iMac design — and now we know why. The all-new Apple iMac 2012 ($1,300-$2,000) features an updated design that's just 5mm thin at the corners and is 40% smaller by volume than its predecessors. It's powered by quad-core Intel Core i5 processors, boasts a completely reengineered display that reduces reflections by 75%, can hold up to 32GB of RAM, and can be configured with the new Fusion Drive storage option that combines 128GB of flash memory with a 1TB or 3TB hard drive to offer most of the speed of an SSD with the vast storage of a standard hard drive. The 21.5-inch model is coming in November, while those wanting the 27-inch model will be waiting 'til December.

Moto TC RC Cars

                                                            Moto TC RC Cars

Bring your iOS playtime off your device and into the real world with these Moto TC RC Cars ($30-$60). Available in large Monster truck or smaller Racer varieties, each is controlled via app, letting you use virtual controls — or accelerometer movements — to guide the vehicle. While the Monster connects via Bluetooth, the Racer comes with a RF transmitter — but either way, they're both compatible with most newer iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads.

Beats Pill

                                                                Beats Pill

Less than 2 inches tall and around 7.5 inches long, the Beats Pill ($200) promises sound bigger than you'd expect given its minuscule size. It relies on Bluetooth, so you'll be able to change tracks directly from your phone or iPod without needing to visit a dock, and you'll be able to take calls easily using the built-in microphone. As you'd expect from any highly-portable speaker, it boasts a rechargeable battery good for all-day listening, but you might not expect the carabiner on the included carrying case, which makes it easy to clip onto a bag and go.

GoPro Hero 3

                                                        GoPro Hero 3

Want the best action camera yet? You're looking at it. The new GoPro Hero 3 ($200-$400) continues the legendary line with three new models. While the base White Edition — 5MP still capture with 3 fps burst, 30fps 1080p video — and mid-range Silver — 11MP stills with 10 fps burst — are nice, the really exciting one is the Black Edition. While it's not actually black, it does offer the ability to record 4K footage — albeit at a paltry 15 fps — 60 fps 1080p recording, 120 fps at 720p quality, 12MP stills with 30 fps burst, and pro-level low-light performance. In addition, all three models come with a waterproof housing and offer built-in Wi-Fi and compatibility with the GoPro App — but only the Black Edition includes a dedicated Wi-Fi remote.

Ceramic Subwoofer

                                                            Ceramic Subwoofer

We've been more than happy with Joey Roth's Ceramic Speakers, but if you're looking for a bit more oomph than what they can provide, pair them with his new Ceramic Subwoofer ($700). Sporting the same clean white design as the speakers, the sub contains a 6.5-inch driver that's complemented by a passive radiator and is powered by a 50 watt Class D amplifier that sits in the simple stainless steel base. Available on its own or paired with the speakers for an extra $400.

McIntosh McAire

                                                        McIntosh McAire

Nope, it's not a new low-calorie menu item from McDonalds — although they could probably stand to introduce such a thing. The McIntosh McAire ($3,000) is a standalone speaker system designed to let you enjoy your media wirelessly via AirPlay. The unit includes both Wi-Fi and Ethernet hookups, as well as a USB port for charging and an RCA input for non-AirPlay devices, but its the dual 4-inch woofers, 2-inch midranges, and .75-inch tweeters that are the star of the show, along with the unit's classic, premium looks.

Boxee TV

                                                                  Boxee TV

Finally, someone's combined the Internet set-top box with a DVR. We just didn't expect it to be these guys. The Boxee TV ($100) features two tuners so you can watch one show while recording another, and works with both digital antennas and unencrypted cable. Of course, this is a Boxee box, so it still offers a fluid, good-looking UI and access to the online services you care about, but its killer feature is No Limits DVR, which uploads all your DVR recording to the cloud, and lets you access them on any device you'd like, no matter where you are. At $15 a month, it's a great deal, but unfortunately it'll only be available in NYC, LA, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Philly, and DC to start.

Belkin WeMo Baby

                                                         Belkin WeMo Baby

Anyone who's ever "enjoyed" listening to an entire night's worth of radio buzz from a traditional baby monitor can appreciate the Belkin WeMo Baby ($90). This new system connects to your home network via Wi-Fi, letting you check in on the little one using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. While the free app offers clear digital sound and easy-to-see graphics, you can upgrade to Evoz service for an extra fee and access advanced monitoring, cry notifications, history, and analysis of your baby's sleep patterns.

Intelligent Design Titanium Mouse

                                                     Intelligent Design Titanium Mouse

Although the name might be slightly confusing — if you're really designing intelligently, you're probably not using a mouse at all — but the Intelligent Design Titanium Mouse (€400; roughly $520) is sexy nonetheless. Crafted from grade 1 titanium and high quality plastic resin, the mouse features a seamless titanium exterior shell, a neodymium magnet scroll wheel, Bluetooth, and precise laser tracking.

Bad Habits Made-To-Order DJ Console

                                                  Bad Habits Made-To-Order DJ Console

It takes skill to create a DJ console that looks as good in your house as it would in a club. The Bad Habits Made-To-Order DJ Console (£750; roughly $1,200) boasts such a look, with a simple base that harkens back to classic setups from clubs like Studio 54, plenty of racking for mixers and other components, and your choice of finishes, materials, and either two or three turntable slots.

DirecTV Genie

                                                          DirecTV Genie

Ever wonder why you need a DVR in every room? So did the people at DirecTV. The result is the DirecTV Genie ($TBA), a whole home solution for TV viewing. This crazy box can record up to five shows in full HD simultaneously, lets you pause, rewind, record, and delete shows from any room, recommends new shows based on the ones you already watch, and offers 200 hours of HD storage — so you don't need to worry about running out of room due to a Honey Boo Boo marathon.

Puzzlebox Brain-Controlled Helicopter

                                                        Puzzlebox Brain-Controlled Helicopter

Yes, you read that correctly. The Puzzlebox Brain-Controlled Helicopter ($250) lets you control a floating orb using nothing but your brain power. The package includes a NeuroSky MindWave Mobile EEG headset, a Pryamid that serves as a home base and remote control, and the Orbit helicopter/orb itself. Simply select a flight path, slide on the headset, and focus — the software in the Pyramid will interpret your levels of concentration and relaxation and move the helicopter appropriately. A perfect gift for the sci-fi geek on your list.

Withings WS-30 Wireless Scale

                                                        Withings WS-30 Wireless Scale

Everything else in your house seems to connect to your smartphone, so why not your scale? The Withings WS-30 Wireless Scale ($130) sports built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to let you keep track of your weight and BMI via the company's own app or one of the 60 other apps that support it. After each weigh-in, it automatically uploads and syncs your weight data, but that's not its only trick — it also automatically calibrates itself while you're away, helps keep you in the same position for accurate measurements, and gets to know your weight, so it knows if it's you on the scale or your roommate/spouse/overly curious dog.

Ora iPad Sound System

                                                                  Ora iPad Sound System

Ever try holding your iPad at one end so you could aim the sound back at you? Us too. That's why one company planned the Ora iPad Sound System -- which was ultimately cancelled. Designed by a team that has created products for the likes of TDK, Vizio and Nike, the aluminum case/stand packs eight front-spacing speakers into the space surrounding the screen, giving you a far more immersive sound experience than you're used to from your tablet. Of course, it's louder, too, but you might not even notice when you're getting blown away by audio from apps you used to consider "tinny."

Lazerwood Keys

                                                                   Lazerwood KeysBoard

While we love the stark aluminum look of Apple's products, the sheer precision can give them a cold feel. Add a bit of natural warmth back with Lazerwood Keys ($40-$45). Available for Apple's desktop and laptop keyboards, these precision-etched key add-ons are just the thing to humanize your otherwise perfectly sterile computing device. Choose between cherry or walnut.

Still wary of uploading your precious media and memories to a cloud service? Create one of your own with the LaCie CloudBox ($120-$180). Available in 1TB - 3TB capacities, this dead-simple device plugs into the wall and your router — using Ethernet — and in minutes appears on your Macs and PCs just like a normal connected device. Thanks to its UPnP capabilities, it can stream music, movies, and photos to devices like the Xbox 360 and iPad wirelessly, and can also provide streaming service over the Internet with its MyNAS feature. The handsome Neil Poulton design is just icing on the cake.

Misfit Shine

                                                                  Misfit Shine

Why should you have to wear your activity tracker on your wrist? The Misfit Shine ($80) is a quarter-sized sensor that hooks up to your iPhone, iPad, or Android device via magic. Or actually, some sort of new sync paradigm where all you need to do is set it on your device. It's also crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum and sports a built-in clip, which makes you wonder if it isn't a secret Apple skunkworks project gone rogue.

Projecteo

                                                                        Projecteo

How to share your Instagram photos with friends without passing around your phone or tablet seems to be one of the hottest questions of the year. Projecteo ($25) thinks it has the answer — or more specifically, is the answer. This pint-sized projector uses an internal LED to project your photos, which have been printed onto 35mm film and cut into wheels, onto any wall you can find. To change wheels, simply pull out the current batch, slide in the next, and relish the quiet groans that haven't been heard since the traditional family photo slideshow fell by the wayside.

Nintendo Wii Mini

                                                                   Nintendo Wii Mini

As it turns out, Apple isn't the only company looking to score big with a pint-sized product this holiday. The Nintendo Wii Mini ($100) is barely bigger than the game discs it takes, and features an all-new design with a manual release, top-loading disc tray, a red and black color scheme, and a matching red controller. It's also notable for what it's missing: namely GameCube compatibility and Internet capabilities. The strangest part? It's Canada-only for now.

Electree

                                                                            Electree

Some new product ideas are cool, and some are downright crazy — too crazy to live, unfortunately. Take the Electree. This sculpture/gadget is shaped after a bonsai tree, but instead of leaves it sports solar panels on its branches. And what does it do with all the energy it collects? It charges an internal battery that you can then use to charge your phone or tablet. Wirelessly, even, if you'd like. Too bad it never left the concept stage.

Olive One

                                                                    Olive One

Tired of using various devices to access your music that's undoubtedly spread across multiple services and drives? Olive One ($400-$500) is looking to help you out.

Jabra Solemate Speaker

                                                          Jabra Solemate Speaker

No, it's not a speaker for your shoes. Instead, the Jabra Solemate Speaker ($160) gets its name from its sneaker-like rugged bottom tread. Powered by a rechargeable battery good for 8 hours of continuous play, the Solemate pairs with your devices via Bluetooth 3.0, and features built-in DSP for optimal sound, three front-facing speakers, a 3.5mm input for non-wireless (dumb) devices, and an included sound bag for added protection when jamming outdoors.

Bold Poker

                                                                 Bold Poker

Take away the house advantage at your weekly poker game with Bold Poker ($2). This ingenious little app runs on iOS and lets you replace your standard deck of cards with an iPad and a bunch of iPhones or iPod touches. Each Hold'em player views their cards on a separate device, while an iPad in the middle keeps track of the board cards and automatically re-deals when you move the dealer button. It may handle betting, but at least it can't be accused of stacking the deck.

Pianocade

                                                                  Pianocade

Combine the joy of making music with the nostalgia of a classic arcade machine with Pianocade ($250-$325). This powerful synthesizer is designed to sound, look, and feel like a vintage arcade game, offering a 128-note range, 5-pin and USB MIDI connectors, and either one or two octaves worth of buttons.

 Attempting to stay fit — especially over the holidays — can be a tough task. The Tinke Wellness Monitor ($120) can help. This diminutive device connects to the bottom of your iPhone* and has you place your thumb on its sensing platform, where it detects changes in skin blood volume to give you a real-time look at heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, and blood oxygen saturation. Thanks to the free app, it also tracks these measurements over time to give you a larger picture of changes in your fitness score and stress levels. *Sorry iPhone 5 users, looks like you'll be ponying up for an adapter.

Redray 4K Cinema Player

                                                             Redray 4K Cinema Player

Should you know the pleasure of owning a 4K-capable TV or projector, you're most likely also familiar with the first-world problem of trying to find content for it.

HAL 9000

                                                           HAL 9000 

Well, it doesn't come with the Discovery One, but this HAL 9000 ($500) is the closest you'll come to that ship's charismatic AI controller. Based on actual studio blueprints, this incredibly detailed, hand-assembled replica features a custom-ground fish-eye lens with a sticker to replicate the writing on the original Nikkor lens, a red LED eye, the ability to speak one of 15 movie quotes, the ability to respond to voices, the ability to respond to IR commands, and aircraft-grade aluminum construction.

                                                               Game Stick

Like the others, the Flex is designed to be worn on your wrist, and tracks your steps, distance traveled, calories burned, active minutes, and quality of sleep, all of which it syncs to your iPhone or Android device via Bluetooth 4.0.

Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner ($50)

                                          Lomography Smartphone Film Scanner

It comes in seven attractive colors so as to make it more enticing to use, but at less than 1.5" square, it's just as easy to toss in a bag or pocket to keep track of... whatever or whoever it is you want to track.

Beijing founded Lenovo is the firm that bought out IBM’s personal computer division, is now redefining the board game and the method of playing them. They have come up with the Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon Table PC,  a wide-screen 27-inch device made for your table that allows you to play board games digitally.
The table PC is essentially a large tablet that makes an iPhone look tiny although it is much thinner than those all-in-one desktop PCs that have a protruding back. Coming in at 18 pounds, it may not be something you bring everywhere although you may want to.
The range of new products they are making include dice that you can roll and the game automatically knows what you rolled, along with actual figures to be placed on a touch screen device with the board game on the screen. With a $1700 price tag it is tempting for anyone to want to snag one.
