LG, Samsung To Start Selling $15,000 Curved TVs In U.S.
Flat screens have been a selling point for TVs for more than a decade.
Now, LG and Samsung are making a selling point of screens that are not
flat. The two Korean electronics companies are launching TVs in the U.S. this
week that have concave screens, where the middle bends away from the
viewer. That's the opposite of the convex bulge of the old cathode-ray
tube TVs. The idea, the companies say, is to envelop the viewer.
The sets have a suggested price of $15,000. LG's set will be sold in some Best Buy stores. Samsung's will be sold by specialty stores. The curved sets are made possible by a technological breakthrough -- the picture is formed a thin, bendable layer of organic light-emitting diodes. (AP)

Guy Builds Functional Boeing 737 Cockpit in His Kids’ Bedroom
It’s not going to make his house airborne, but Laurent Aigon’s
home-made Boeing 737 cockpit is so realistic that the Institute of
Aircraft Maintenance at Bordeaux-Merignac Airport asked him to give a
lecture on his achievement, and an aircraft maintenance company
contacted him about using his creation for simulations. 40-year-old Laurent Aigon, from Lacanau, France, has always had a
thing for airplanes. He grew up in Beutre, just 200 meters from the
Merignac Airport, where he used to spend most of his time watching
planes land and take-off, daydreaming that one day he would be the one
behind the yoke. At 12-years old he had his first plane-flying
experience, in front of his computer screen, playing Flight Simulator,
but he was just too lazy for school and never went on to become a real
pilot. Still his childhood dream stuck with him, and one day he decided
that if he couldn’t fly a real plane, he was going to fly a fake one,
right in the comfort of his own home. Five years ago, he met Jean-Paul
Dupuy, a like-minded aircraft enthusiast, and together they set out to
build the most realistic simulation cockpit possible. They met with the
people of Aquitaine Simulation, and got s glimpse of their Airbus flight
simulator. Confident they could build their own functional cockpit,
Laurent and Jean-Paul scoured the internet for parts, and piece by
piece, module by module, they managed to put together one of the world’s
most realistic Boeing 737 cockpits. The fact that it’s crammed between a
closet and a bunk-bed in a children’s bedroom is of little importance. (more)

Nietzsche's Typewriter
"Friedrich Nietzsche received his writing ball in 1882. It was the
newest model, the portable tall one with a colour ribbon, serial number
125, and several typescripts are known to have been written by him on
this writing ball. We know that Nietzsche was also familiar with the
newest Remington typewriter (model 2), but as he wanted to buy a
portable typewriter, he chose to buy the Malling-Hansen writing ball, as
this model was lightweight and easy to carry — one might say that it
was the "laptop" of that time." (nerdcore)

shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney)
in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly
routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving
Stone and Kowalsky completely alone--tethered to nothing but each other
and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them
they have lost any link to Earth...and any chance for rescue. As fear
turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is
left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying
expanse of space. (comingsoon)

"Invisibility Wetsuit" To Protect Against Shark Attacks
World's first 'invisibility wetsuit' to protect sea surfers
from deadly shark attacks has been developed by Australian scientists. The suits are designed to mimic nature and camouflage swimmers while others warn sharks to stay away. Researchers from the University of Western Australia ( UWA), with
designers Shark Attack Mitigation Systems, have unveiled two new
wet-suits they claim could save lives. Labelled as "Elude", one of the
wetsuits is designed to camouflage a swimmer or diver in the sea and is
based on a breakthrough discovery that sharks are colour blind, AAP news
agency said. On the other hand, the "Diverter" sports bold white and dark blue stripes, and is intended to mirror nature's warning signs to ward off any potential shark attack. A mix of scientific discoveries and observations about nature were used
to come up with warning suit designs aimed at reducing the risk to
swimmers, surfers and divers, scientists said. "The idea is to reduce
the risk of the wearer in certain conditions," prof Shaun Collin, from
UWA's Ocean Institute, said. The five fatal attacks in Western
Australian waters in just under 12 months prompted the research into the
suits more than two years ago, the report said. (timesofindia)
