Don't bother pulling out your ruler. Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. That's an ultra widescreen flat screen TV brought to you by Philips. They figure people are losing way too much info watching movies originally filmed at a 21:9 aspect ratio (ahem, Iron Man, Batman... all the "_man" movies) so they're bringing the cinema experience home.

Love the idea but damn, that's gonna be some big ass side letter boxing when I watch normal broadcast television or even regular movies filmed at 16:9.

Philips press release

Talk about a wimpy remote. Panasonic's Gel Remote concept might feel familiar to dildo connoisseurs because it's flesh-like material is designed to engage users with something more tactile and like themselves.

Constructed of a soft, flesh-like gel, the remote appears cold when off. Once turned on, however, it seems to come to life. A soft light emanates somewhere from within as the center of the device begins to slowly rise and fall, mimicking the tranquil motions of breath. Left undisturbed, the remote will slumber peacefully. Buth should a human hand approach, sensors inside alert it to the imminent touch. It stops breathing, grows rigid - the light from within is extinguished. A remote is the ideal meaphor for the disturbance electronic distration poses to life. If we had to interrupt its life before it could interrupt ours, we may think twice before picking it up.
