Buying a TV? LED was just a stepping stone, here comes the real revolution, OLED!

If you are in the market for a tv, then you should do two things. Wait, and save up some money. Okay, a lot of money!

LED televsions are going to enjoy a shorter stay then expected, as we move over to the next real staple of television viewing technology. It is not just the next evolution – but a revolution!

I put the ipad3 and ipad2 together and I saw that the new one is actually thinner and lighter, actually in more detail (50g and thicker 0.6mm). The second item that got my attention was the screen which helps people that want to read a book or watch movies, and definitely better quality picture in gaming.The new ipad3 is faster, and also they say that there are some differences in some standard applications.

Olympic Games In London 2012

The summer of 2012 is approaching and the United Kingdom is getting ready to host the XXX (30th) Summer Olympic Games in London.

London was selected as the host city on the 6th of July of 2005 with 54 votes overcoming Paris (France) which collected 50 and since then preparations have been underway.

Moreover it is a chance for them to show to the rest of the World their sense of hospitality. The opening ceremony will take place on the 27th of July while the closing ceremony on the 12th of August. Continue reading →
