Harry and the Hogwarts return to Hong Kong on July 17.
There’s one film you can count on having a simultaneous worldwide release, and that is Harry Potter. In line around the world, July 17th is the day the world will be out to see Daniel Radcliffe do some magic in the penultimate Harry Potter flick and share with us the identity of the Half-Blood Prince.
Only 2 movies to go (the last book will be split into 2 movies, to make more money to allow the filmmakers to expand on the dense storyline of the final book) we present the most recent behind-the-scenes video to you below:
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:
