The fourth Terminator film (and the first of a new trilogy is this does well) has been hype ramping for the last few months. The trailers are great, Hot Toys 1/6 figures look hot, Christian Bale’s on-set meltdown was great, co-star Sam Worthington is getting alot of buzz as the cyborg, rumors of Linda Hamilton AND Arnold making cameo’s/voiceovers/digital acting all make it look like the ultimate Terminator sequel. It just got slapped with a PG-13 rating though, but that shouldn’t hurt the action, which it looks full of.
Even with no comic book movies outside of Wolverine this Summer looks to be fun and get ready Hong Kong as Terminator Salvation hits us 1 week after the US release. Get ready to book tickets on May 28, 2009.
Here is a round-up of 3 TV commercials now airiing in the U.S.:
Samsung launches 6 new home theatre systems in Hong Kong.
If you want quality sound, leave it up to the global leader Samsung to do the work for you. They recently released a total of 6 home theatre systems for your living room. All of these feature bio kelp technology to make sure that you get crystal clear sound with natural tone balance. Let’s take a look at them:
1. HT-BD1255
This is Samsung’s blue-ray home theatre system. It offers 1000 watts of output power and 5.1 surround sound to produce life-like audio. It also has wireless networking capabilities for convenience. Furthermore, Samsung’s BD Wise technology adjusts the blue-ray picture to best match your TV, so you’ll always get the best picture quality possible.
The future of e-papers may be more than what it seems like. Bridgestone showed us this with their new 13″ e-paper display. This is probably the only time you’ll have to accept the fact that a tire company can make decent electronics…
E-papers are extremely thin– almost as thin as normal sheets as paper. However, before this, e-paper manufacturers were only able to create decent black-and-white e-papers (like the Amazon Kindle), or color e-papers with extremely slow refresh times. This full-color, 13-inch e-paper display from Bridgestone has a very fast 0.8 second refresh time (very fast for color in this size), and even accepts pen inputs!
The only downsides we could see at the moment is the picture looking a little dim. However, this is definitely a big breakthrough into harnessing e-paper technology. It doesn’t look like it’ll be replacing anything very soon, but its future looks promising.
There doesn’t seem to be any price or release date information on this product yet, as it seems only like a prototype. But hey, it looks like The Daily Prophet from Harry Potter would eventually become real! There is a short clip of this e-paper if you want to check it out:
