When people ask me what would be the first thing I'd grab in a house fire, my kids come first … second, I'm embarrassed to say, is my iPhone.
According to a 2012 Connected World Technology Report by Cisco, I'm in good company, though. Nine out of 10 Gen Y respondents said their smartphone is as much apart of their morning routines as brushing their teeth. In fact, many said they check their phones before they even get out of bed, which leads to the next, slightly bothersome factoid: Globally, three out of four respondents use their smartphones in bed—likely putting a squelch on romance. Based on the study, excessive smartphone impacts nearly every facet of a Gen Yer's life.
Here are a few other findings from the study:
• More than a third use smartphones in the bathroom.
• Two-thirds of respondents said they spend an equal amount or more time socializing online with friends than they do in person.
• More than 40 percent said they would feel anxious, like part of me is missing, if they couldn't check their smartphones constantly.
• Globally, one if five checks a smartphone for email, text and social media updates at least every 10 minutes. In the U.S., two out of five check at least once every 10 minutes.
• Women are more driven to connect: 85 percent of women vs. 63 percent of men find themselves often compulsively checking their smartphone.
• 81 percent believe that people have different online and offline identities.
• Almost 90 percent upload photos to share or store on Internet sites.
• 87 percent have a Facebook account, and one in 10 have Facebook always up.

Adalat is a show revolving around KD Pathak, a suave, sophisticated, witty and yet unconventional lawyer who is known as a 'Houdini' in circles of law because he can get his clients out of the tightest of situations. His success rate of acquittals is 100 percent. But most importantly KD stands not for his client, but for Justice.
KD has an amazing eye for detail and an insatiable thirst for knowledge. He always seems to know enough about every profession, and what he doesn't know he covers up/makes up with his smartness. A quick thinker.
KD steps into a case when all is doomed for the accused. All the doors are shut. When the prosecution has prepared a water tight open and shut case where even a blind man can tell that the accused is guilty. But no one can see the case from the angle KD does. He digs fervently for loopholes in the prosecution's case much to their frustration and thinking on his feet, he manages to turn the entire case around. Often through histrionics, magical gimmicks (since he has recently started learning magic ' and uses a parallel between magic and justice' that often what we see is not all' there is something beyond it), performances, which the Judge does not approve of ! And nor does his ex-love Maya (The Prosecutor who is often at the receiving end!) - But that is KD. Unstoppable, incorrigible and completely enthralling and entertaining. It is a treat to watch him perform in court week after week, tearing the toughest of cases to shreds and helping convict an evil scheming villain, and setting a poor hapless innocent victim free!

Laurie LaRusso, MS, ELS
Cervical cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in the cervix. The cervix is the lower, narrow part of the uterus also known as the womb. It connects the uterus with the vagina.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. With cervical cancer, epithelial cervix cells that line the cervical canal divide without control or order. Normally, cells divide in a controlled manner. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably, a mass of tissue forms, called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors. Malignant tumors can invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor does not invade or spread.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Research suggests that some sexually transmitted viruses like
human papilloma virus (HPV) can cause cervical cells to begin the changes that can lead to cancer.
Cervical cancer is more common in women over 25 years old. Factors that may increase your risk of cervical cancer include:
Symptoms usually do not appear until the abnormal cells become cancerous. Then, they invade nearby tissue. When this happens, the most common symptom is abnormal bleeding, which may include:
There may also be pelvic discomfort or backache.
Your doctor will need to examine your vagina and cervix. This can be done with:
After cervical cancer is found, more tests are done to find out if the cancer has spread beyond the cervix, and, if so, to what extent. This process is called staging, which may be done with:
Treatment depends on the stage of the cancer and may include:
The cancerous tumor, nearby tissue, and possibly nearby lymph nodes may be removed. The doctor may remove only the tumor and nearby normal tissue if the tumor is contained within the cervix. In some cases, a
is necessary.
If the cancer is at a high stage, more tissue must be removed. Sometimes the ovaries and fallopian tubes are also removed.
Radiation therapy
the use of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Radiation may be given in two ways:
is the use of toxic drugs to kill cancer cells. It may be given in many forms, including: pill, injection, and by catheter. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body. It kills mostly cancer cells, but also some healthy cells. Chemotherapy alone rarely cures cervical cancer. It may be used with surgery and/or radiation.
This therapy may also be used to help control pain and bleeding when a cure is no longer possible.
If you are diagnosed with cervical cancer, follow your doctor's
Finding and treating precancerous tissue in the cervix is the best way to prevent cervical cancer. Talk to your doctor about when you should have Pap tests done. Another good approach is to reduce your risk of exposure to the HPV virus. There are currently two methods to do this:
The Pap test is used to screen for cervical cancer. It is also used to detect cervical dysplasia. A sample of cells is collected from the cervix to be tested. HPV can also be screened by testing the same sample of cells.
If you are a healthy woman, many professional health organizations offer these recommendations for screening:
You will need to have Pap tests done more often if you have abnormal results or certain conditions, like a weak immune system or a history of cervical dysplasia or cervical cancer. Talk to your doctor about the right screening schedule for you.

Last year wasn't exactly must-see as far as 3D was concerned. The technology was there, but when it came to content, we constantly felt like we were scrounging for the few morsels that were available.
The New Year has a slew of new possibilities for 3D. We've seen a lot of exciting announcements so far. VUDU recently announced plans to start streaming in 3D, HBO has 3D video on demand, and ESPN will continue to crank out certain 3D-worthy events.
We're also seeing the opportunity for more Blu-ray 3D in the home. Of course, Panasonic still has a tight hold on Avatar, and won't be letting up until sometime in 2012. We don't blame them. In the meantime, however, this should be a banner year for the Blu-ray 3D format. Disney will deliver 15 of its current and classic movies on Blu-ray 3D—and they aren't the only ones planning widespread releases. Here are eight films we can't wait to enjoy in the eye-popping comfort of our own home.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Google TV brings the web to the TV.
Rumors, whispers, and snippets of info regarding Google TV have been floating around for a few months now.
But Thursday at Google I/O 2010, the company made the big announcement of Google TV, while Sony and Logitech followed suit with the first Google TV products. Dish Network also said it will offer a Google TV-powered DVR recording feature on set-top boxes.
Devices for Google TV will be sold at Best Buy.
Google TV
Roughly two out of three people watch TV. So it's no surprise Google wants a piece of that pie. "Video should be consumed on the biggest, best, and brightest screen in your house, and that's the TV," says Google.
So how do they plan to bring the web to the TV without compromising video or content? A search-driven experience centered around discovery and customization. Media aggregation helps as well, with Hulu logos being thrown around like candy, which might be the most intriguing aspect of the whole ordeal.
All of this is going to be based on Intel's CE4100 Atom processor running a version of the Android OS, Chrome browser, and Flash 10.1. Devices will have a WiFi network connection, HDMI, and QWERTY input option along with standard remote controls.
Sony Internet TV
Sony will launch its Sony Internet TVs and Blu-ray players with Google TV in the fall of 2010. Models have yet to be announced.
Sony chairman, president and CEO Howard Stringer says:
"I am delighted to announce the unique alignment of Google's rapidly growing, open source Android platform with Sony's unparalleled expertise in the field of TV design and technology. The addition of 'Sony Internet TV' will further bolster Sony's comprehensive TV lineup and will fuse new levels of enjoyment and interactivity into the TV experience."
Read: Sony's Google TV Partner Press Release
Logitech Google TV Companion Box
Logitech will introduce a Google TV Companion Box. This settop box will bring Google TV to anyone not looking for a new TV or Blu-ray player containing Google TV.
The most intriguing aspects of the Companion Box are the planned QWERTY Harmony remote (still under development) and Harmony app for iPhone/iPod Touch and Android devices. The Companion Box also has an IR blaster that gives it all the powers of the Harmony 900. Price and release date weren't announced.
Logitech president and CEO Gerald Quindlen says:
"We committed to Google TV early on because it aligns with our strategy to support open platforms that enable new immersive experiences in the digital living room. While Google TV enables seamless discovery of all your content, Logitech enables seamless control over how you experience that content. We look forward to continued collaboration with Google and the developer community to create new Google TV experiences that have yet to be imagined."

The Delta 75150 Venetian Bronze will be dark like Kohler's Oil Rubbed Bronze but will not have the coppery bronze coloring that you see at the seams on Kohler's. Venetian Bronze is pretty much a uniform dark color.

Adam, Eve, and Human Population Genetics, Part 1: Scripture, science, and defining the issues
Does the human race all descend from two individuals? Genomic science says no, but it doesn't rule out the possibility that Adam and Eve were still historic persons.
Saturday Science Links: October 25, 2014
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
Saturday Science Links: October 18, 2014
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Series: Evolution Basics (50 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Series: Reviewing "Darwin's Doubt" (9 entries)
Origins News Roundup for August 20, 2014
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
The Christian Reformed Church votes to support scholarship on human origins
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
Series: The Human Fossil Record (19 entries)
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
What Americans Think and Feel about Evolution
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Origins News Round-Up for May 28, 2014
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
Series: Intelligent Design and Common Ancestry (4 entries)
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
Series: Interpreting Adam (7 entries)
A few months ago Zondervan published the anthology Four Views on the Historical Adam. This valuable new resource addresses one of the most common questions Christians have about evolution: how does the Adam of the Bible fit with the scientific and historical evidence about early humans?
Origins News Round-up for January 17, 2014
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
Origins News Round-up for January 3, 2014

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
Why the Church Needs Multiple Theories of Original Sin
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Humanity as and in Creation
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science (4 entries)
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.

I'm 60 years old and have been camping my whole life. These are nice bags. The cotton lining is a big plus over the slippery nylon of others I've used. Another nice feature is the zipper system using separate bottom and side zippers. Open the bottom and stick your feet out if you get too warm. Speaking of warm, these bags are. Used them on a recent motorcycle trip and they were actually too warm for the evening. Remember these are 4 pound bags and are larger for packing. They have other nice features too, including a velcro tab and drawstring at the neck. The ONLY complaint I have is the lack of ties or straps to keep them rolled for stuffing in the sack provided and that's pretty easily fixed. Great Sleeping Bags!!
I bought this Colorado along with the River to compare. The "cotton" lining was really coarse and scratchy. If you slept in the bag with shorts, you'd probably get a friction rash! With pajamas on, shifting positions was hard because the lining stuck to you like velcro. Sadly, I returned this bag and ordered 2 more Rivers! The zip together feature was nice, though. I would still recommend this bag if you're budget minded. Everything about the bag is wonderful (except for the lining).
Just ordered these bags and they seem to be good quality bags for such a great price. Each bag is a left and right zipping bag, not just two identical bags thrown together. Nice and heavy, definitely look like they will keep you nice and warm- haven't used them yet but looking forward to it. Nice cotton lining not that cold nylon like I've seen in a lot of bags. Includes stuff sacks too!
Love the bags. Better than I expected. Warmer than expected. I love being surprised with greater than expected performance. I would recommend them to anyone.
Not a color choice for moi , warmth for camping outdoors in early spring time yes! The quality of bag is solid I have no complaints
I purchased these specifically to use zipped together, the description (and the stuff sacks they come in) states Right & Left zipper set. When I zippered them together, both of the wind baffles were one the same side of the bags, so the other side had no baffles. . . So someone mixed them up and sent either 2 lefts or 2 rights. If I needed just a set of single bags, these would be perfect. The inside is exactly like a cotton percale sheet. The stitching is perfect - not through and through. Overstock is refunding my purchase price,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,)
I love these sleeping bags! Nice looking, great quality, soft, and very comfortable!
Oredering was easy and I live in Detroit, Michigan and had them delivered in a few days to my Daughter in California. Now she has easy bedding to pull out for visitors that sleep over on the air mattress or couch and she can use them to go camping too. Any time you get two uses from one item in a small apartment it really helps. Paul

Ribbon {Egg} Topiary!!!
27 comments:
Aw, it's cute! You have a real commitment to ribbon! How do you use all of these adorable little topiaries to decorate?ReplyDelete
Love this! Too funny, I used the same little bucket (is it from Hobby Lobby?) for a topiary and also switched out the ribbon.ReplyDelete
Stacy is there anything you can't cover with ribbon? Your approach is perfect, you're right - I prefer the wrapped egg versus an egg covered with the loops (but I do love the loops on other shapes!). Next time will you do something really big, like a bike or a ladder? something slightly unexpected - that would be totally crazy!ReplyDelete

text: Quote: ?"Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life; second, to liberty, third, to property, together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. These are evident branches of... the duty of self preservation, commonly called the first law of nature. All men have a right to remain in a state of nature as long as they please; and in case of intolerable oppression, civil or religious, to leave the society they belong to, and enter into another... Now what liberty can there be where property is taken away without consent?" Samuel Adams (November 20,1772)It is too bad that the overall value to human beings of their basic right to private property is so widely and prestigiously denied. It is one of the most beneficent institutions and certainly the bulwark against any kind of tyranny, be it that of a ruling party, a dictatorship, or even of a democratic majority. Tibor Machan

Sony demos ultra-expensive, ultra-thin OLED telly
View a more bandwidth-friendly version of this video here Can't see the video? Download Flash Player from Adobe.com Sony_XEL1_SM
OMG, how thin?, OMFG how much??
I wait impatiently and salivating at the thought of what the King of thin could do with those displays!
Yeah, I mean Apple.
All very pretty but
How long will the screen last for before it loses quality or breaks down altogether? Dead pixels?
I wouldn't be the first to dump £3k. Luckily for Sony I can think of some who would.
Thanks Sony
You can continue to watch TV while using the menu? That's incredible.
I tried to use that interface on the PS3 and came out of the experience with a brand new nervous twitch.
The Emperor's New Clothes no more
I have spent years walking past/in various electrical shops looking at the quality of LCD televisions and wondering why on earth anyone would buy one. I am yet to see one that doesn't blur on movement, esp fast movement.
As everyone and their dog was buying LCD and raving about them, I thought it was just my eyes, so I went to ask the chap behind the desk and he agreed with me and said that the quality is not that good but if someone wants something big and thin to hang on their wall, LCD is the only option.
So, I have continued to benefit from this by buying our latest flatscreen (not LCD) 28 inch television for £38 from someone who had 'upgraded' to LCD. job done!
OLED appears to be what LCD should have been, and the example I saw in our local Sony shop simply blew me away. It was amazing. Unfortunately the price is too high and the screen sizes too small, but the same could have been said about LCD 6-8 years ago so we just need to wait.
Yes, too expensive, but also too small?
Is it just me or does OLED tech seem to be in the same place as SSDs right now? Not only is it far too expensive (I'd never pay 3 grand for a TV set, no matter how fantastic it is), but it's also too small (11" isn't even big enough for the kitchen or a small bedroom!).
The tech is great, but we're still years away from seeing this in living rooms - wait until the digital switchover in the UK has finished (i.e. 2012 Olympics) and wake me up again then....
Wouldn't Touch it With A Ten Foot Pole
I'm typing this on a two year old Sony notebook. The battery life is down to fifteen minutes, the screen coating has started to fail and the letters have started to rub off the keyboard. Sony have refused to fix the machine because I wiped XP off the hard drive and replaced it with Linux.
Then they hit us with the Sony root kit fiasco.
Then they released 'Quantum of Solace' which contained so much DRM that it wouldn't play on some of the DVD players out there.
Sure Sony, your OLED TV set looks fabulous, but I will never purchase another Sony product again.
Enthusiastic - not Insane
Yeah my dad would like this (hes a bit gadget mad) but....
a) hes not actually clinically mental
b) he'd have to travel over 100 miles to reach a sony centre just to view the item, let alone buy one
c) sony have better TVs for the price
d) the tv is not wall mountable since all the electronics are in the stand
e) and dont sony have screens at >50 inches for less than £3000? (save your money and get a big screen that does the same job)
Personally I think Sony need to stop trying to be so cutting edge/overpriced.
This TV isnt much bigger than my hand (or other appendages) and where is an 11inch TV going to go? the kitchen? the bedroom? I can't see it going in my living room as the main TV unless it gets to 22 inches or bigger.
The only way anyone could justify ending up with one of these is as a gift from some one else (your cat/dog/child doesnt count), much like those LCD photo frames people get but never use. I cant see how anyone could justify buying one for themselves. its just far too expensive compared with competing products (just as the PS3 was when it first came out compared with the Xbox and Wii). To put it another way.. I can get a car for 3000.
The naked eye cant tell the difference between 1ms delays and 6ms delays. Therefore such a quantification is irrelevant. Think about it, how many people have switched from DVD to bluray yet? Not many, and I think the reason is the naked eye cant really tell much difference between the picture quality... not enough to justify buying all new equipment and replacements to DVDs.
The only people that will buy this are people who have been, or want to be, on Cribs some day.
According to Moore's Law these items will start selling in 2-4 years once the size has doubled and the price has halved.
Presumably with such high contrast ratio dead pixels become a FAR bigger issue as they stand out more? Whats sony's policy on this??
Holy cow. Yeh, it's a beauty, but it's 11" !! Anyone who spends 3k on a tv that is about only big enough for a kitchen telly has more money than sense.
Yes, £3000 is the answer...
In case you can't view the video at work, it really is £3000 and is initially only available from Sony Centres.
Recession - what recession ? There are still many City types with more money than sense - even after losing a lot of our money and being bailed out by the government.
Sweet Cherries Earned and Deserved and Most Favourably Received and Gratified
Wow. Sony bites into Apple CompleXXXX EgoCentricity... A Quantum Bridging Leap for Alternate Intelligence Missions..... Virtual Projects, Sony San? East Leading Westwards?
I still don't get it
Does the screen come away from the base so it can go on the wall ( the wall I would hope that is very close indeed)
Wow but who would buy one?
It looks fantastic but £3000? Has Sony not heard of the credit crunch? I can't see them shifting many of these.
However if Sony want to lend me a demo version I could be converted!
Another useless video. It's thin. It works. Fine. Anyone ever noticed how looking at super-advanced screens on your not super-advanced screen is rather pointless, assuming you want to know anything about the quality of the picture?
The day they (all of them) get off the darn "glossy everything" fad will be declared an international holiday. Also, I could not care less about the über-thinness of flatscreens, especially when "skinny" means it comes with a ginormous blob attached to it. Good picture, low energy consumption, decent price.

The Future of Displays?
This is pretty old news, the Sony OLED TV has already been all over the internet and on loads of TV shows including Something for the Weekend which is a cooking show!!
The TV looks amazing but why does the remote look like something from 1980? for £3000 I would want a touch screen OLED remote that also works with the PS3! Come on Sony!
I know alot of people will cry at the £3000 price tag but its the first get of a new technology, remember when Plasma TV's were £20,000, way back, when they first come out!
Once they start to produce these panels in millions rather than the hundreds expect the price to drop like a stone and the size to grow like the Hydroponics "Plant" your mate has in the cupboard
I expect to see these as 20" Professional Monitors and top of the line laptops in less than a year and 32"+ TV's for £1500 within a couple of years!
Why is it?
Why is it that when Sony talks about OLED it's expensive, but when the rest of the world talks about OLED it's cheap? I mean I have seen end-customer prices for OLED modules of 30 Euros and less.
3 grand?
Pass. No 11" TV is worth 3 grand.
bit twee
11 inch? That's not a TV screen, that's a UMPC screen bolted to an ugly box. Buncha wankers. Where's my 60 inch OLED screen I was promised not 10 years ago? They promised it would take 10 years, and they've never lied. Now excuse me while I go fetch my flying car.
could you not make your goofy looking logo a little less obscure in the video?
Little evidence...
...of it's alleged superior motion performance - to back up this claim the demonstrator shows footage of a woman eating and a series of static images. Does this explain Sony's PS3 sales strategy, perchance?
Paris, because even though she may not understand it, she might be able to afford it.
Very nice
Now let's fast forward 5 years when OLED screens are of a decent size and sensible price. Even if I had the money I can't think what use I'd have for such a small screen. Maybe I'd buy several and build a video wall. ;-)
Did you...
kidnap this guy and film this in your secret underground bunker - or is this what counts as a "stylish" demo area in the credit crunch era? Liked the rather interesting black radiator though...
Overlaid menus
Wow! I think our veteran Sanyo CRT does that, what esteemed company.
That video will encourage ..
.. vegetarians to buy OLED TVs.
OK, so its a few millimetres thick.
But couldn't you have said that in WORDS?
Why do we need these stupid videos, that always take ten times longer than reading the WORDS ???
What a joke
Who gives a hoot how thin it is when the only way they saved those few centimeters at most is by moving electronics to a huge base meaning you don't even have the mounting flexibility any more?
I thought we had entered the wireless base to screen era with forthcoming products, only sony would give us small and expensive and anti-ergonomic.
Paris, even this she can understand.
Can't moan about the price if there isn't an OLED TV cheaper...
11" for £3000 isn't a bad price if you can't get one for that price from another manufacturer, let alone cheaper...
Pioneering technology isn't supposed to be cheap or reliable, just a demonstration of what the future holds, so I'm going to try to see one of these and dream about what they'll be like when they hit > 30"
Wer'e appreciating the picture quality run through a video camera; possibly run through a PAL/NTSC conversion; using YouTube compression FFS; and finally viewed through whatever kit we're using at home.
Oh yeah, that works.
old news ...
This thing has been available since mid 2008 . They even have it at the local Fry's store for 2995 $. I had no idea europe was so lagging behind ...
"Light-emitting OLED technology eliminates the need for a backlight and achieves a high level of energy efficiency while consuming up to 40 percent less power than conventional 20-inch LCD panels."
Wow. Sony's ELEVEN inch screen uses 40% less power than a TWENTY inch LCD? In other words, Sony's 11" OLED screen, which has a screen area 30.24999% of the area of a 20" screen, only uses 60+% the power of that 20" screen. Or, put another way, the 20" LCD has 230.57861% more screen area than Sony's 11" screen, and only uses up to 40% more power. And they call the OLED screen "energy efficient". For the record, Sharp's 19" LCD uses 45-54% less power than their 20" LCD. Sharp's model LC-20D42U 20" LCD with 10W audio uses 69W. Sharp's model LC-19D44U 19" LCD with 4W audio uses 45W. Sony's model XEL-1 11" OLED with 2W audio uses 34W.
"Experience an unrivaled picture quality. Boasting a 960 x 540 native resolution, the OLED TV yields the same pixel density as a 40" (measured diagonally) 1080p LCD TV."
Yes, a screen that's half the resolution of 1080p will definitely be unrivaled. Nobody else would be stupid enough to try that. Pixel density means nothing if the resolution isn't great enough to handle the input sent to it.
And seriously, who cares how thin the panel itself is when the size of the base means the total unit depth is 6-8"? However, "thin" does mean "breaks more easily when bumped". Yes, you should be careful around your equipment (especially such expensive equipment), but accidents (and children) happen. That was one of the best things about CRTs -- a glass screen meant good protection (not to mention it could be cleaned much more easily without fear of damaging the screen).
But hey, let's not let silly things like facts distort the fantasy of an overpriced piece of bragging rights.
New? Saw it a year ago
I saw this on sale over a year ago in Tokyo, ISTR price was about GBP1K.
Yes the display is stunning but who wants a TV that small?
OK it's thin, but the attatched base makes this pointless.
Nice proof of concept that OLED TV may some day be good though.
Stop all the Moaning
Has anyone actually seen this OLED display in person? No! thats what I thought.
When your local Sony has one on display, go take a look.
£3000 Price tag! You know what they say, if you have to ask, you cant afford it. This is like most First Generation Consumer products.
First Plasma TVs £30,000+ They all broke and suffered from horrible screen burn
First Laser Disc players! £2000+ If I remember rightly, the movies cost a fortune
First Blu Ray players £1000+ Only a handful of movies on Blu Ray to watch!
Large LCD TV's were still around £2000 only a couple years ago and had crap contrast ratios.
Alot of people can afford these and will buy them, these are the people that help pathe the way for the cheaper consumer models that come in time.
Not nice
@Stuart Duel
"I wait impatiently and salivating at the thought of what the King of thin could do with those displays!
Yeah, I mean Apple."
It's not nice of you to talk about Steve Jobs like that! The man can't take up any proteins, you insensitive clod!
Nobody ever claimed OLED was particularly energy efficient. A good LCD television set takes a single watt or less. Unless of course they have an electronic backlight.
Expensive Plasmas v Expensive OLED
"I know alot of people will cry at the £3000 price tag but its the first get of a new technology, remember when Plasma TV's were £20,000, way back, when they first come out!"
Yes but the first plasmas were BIGGER than any other TV you could buy at the time. This thing is pretty much the *smallest* TV you can buy (and it's not even portable). It would certainly be the most expensive TV per inch you could buy now or ever.
I know that thin is in, but @#$% me that's an expensive 11 inches.
Not exactly groundbreaking...
This came out two years ago in Japan, for 210000 yen or, for at the time, £1000. How can they justify tripling the price on a two year old product?
Surely they can't blame VAT for this difference!
Here it is, same product and more than half the price!
@Richard Lloyd
11" isn't big enough for the bedroom? You've been spoilt...
For 3k I'd expect the same pixel density and response rate as the eMagin 1/2" HMD screens. And they've just hit SXGA so that'd be hundreds of megapixels on an 11" screen with nS refresh times. Now THAT would be worth the money for the bragging rights. "Oh, look at my TV- non of that HDReady crap, this is Full HD!" "Oh, really? Mine's a higher resolution than real life."
Also,according to a commenter they're saying 1ms response rates- isn't this really slow for an OLED?
Overall, some sort of serious fail for Sony on this one.
Is it just me?
I cant see in what way it is different to a floptop screen.. its even about the same size.. ok smaller.
I know its OLED but its not the freaking size that makes me go wow .... I want to know what the power consumption is... (if its too high the screen gets hot drains my pocket and dies in two years...) and the response time the (including the afterglow) and the contrast ratio etc... forgive me for asking for specifics... but I dont buy a car based on how thin/fat/tall/blue/spongy it is!
£3000/11 inches
my 11 inches is worth £3000, so why can't their's be?
Ultra Thin...
So, how thin could you get a traditional LCD screen if you backlit with LCDs and relocated the electronics and ports to a huge box sitting underneath the screen rather than behind it? I'm guessing about as thin as that one!
Sure you wouldn't be able to match the contrast ratio or response time, but can the average person tell the difference between 50k:1 and <2ms that you see on modern LCDs and get a 50" screen for under 1k, compared to 1m:1 and <0.1ms from an 11" OLED that costs £3k?
I know which one I would prefer to have in my living room!
RE: Stop all the Moaning
AC, if you bought a first generation LaserDisc Player it was likely a Philips or Pioneer and built like a tank. Unless the Helium-neon laser tube gave out last year or so it likely still works like a charm. Same for the "expensive" movies. Yes, they cost more than Blu-ray does today, but they were BIG, had no DRM or ARM whatsoever and demanded a cleanroom to be made. Which is why they don't die either. Unless you bought those rotters that came out of SONY plants, as even back then SONY was unable to make something that doesn't break within a year or two.
When flatscreens came to market, they were the size of big-screen tubes or bigger. The issue with this TV is that while the technology might be amazing (hardly anyone knows because you need to see them in person) it is overall a pointless desk toy for managers. This is not the 50s where you would put a dedicated chair in front of the tube at two feet distance and oh-ah at the novelty. This 11inch screen is just a tech-demo gone commercial. They can come back once its 40"+, half the price, and someone can tell how fast those OLEDs crap out.
want one..want one...want one...who's the blond?...want one...want one...
how much?
i actually shouted out expletives when i found out how high the price wsa...i think ill wait a few years till they make a 50 inch one before i have a heart attack
Thanks for nothing Sony...
Odd that no one has picked up on the fact that it's on sale in the US for half the price....welcome to rip off Britain........

In what might be a Silicon Valley first, Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter, won two startup awards on the same night, highlighting both the achievements of his role at the company's helm, and the controversies created in the process.
Inside the Davies Symphony Hall, Costolo won "Best CEO," the Best Actor equivalent of The Crunchies, Silicon Valley's lavish annual award ceremony co-organized by TechCrunch, GigaOM, and VentureBeat. Costolo's newest accolade emerged from fierce competition, in which he edged out Tesla's Elon Musk, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Yahoo!'s Marissa Mayer, and runner-up-winning Travis Kalanick of Uber.
"This is really a team award," said Costolo, in a gracious and brief acceptance speech. "It's just such a delight to be able to get up in the morning and come to work with such enthusiastic, and creative, and courageous people. It makes it fun, it makes it exciting, and it never gets old, so thanks very much — I really appreciate it."
Today marked the seventh year of The Crunchies, and the first of another event: The Crappies, organized in protest by the San Francisco chapter of Jobs With Justice. Playfully adorned with hand-written, paperboard signage, The Crappies organizers "awarded" individuals and companies for actions deemed problematic and harmful to the city and its myriad communities.
Dick Costolo was among the dubious cast of Crappies prizewinners, receiving the award for Best Tax Evader. The award references the company's decision to relocate to the city's Mid-Market neighborhood in the now-termed "Twitter building."
In agreeing to the move, Twitter accepted a payroll tax credit pioneered by Mayor Ed Lee. The credit, misleadingly called the "Twitter tax break," in fact extends to any company that relocates to the Mid-Market neighborhood, a trending district that incorporates areas of Civic Center and the Tenderloin, along with stretches of SoMa from 6th to 10th Street.
In guise of the real Costolo, local nonprofit worker and activist James Chionsini, playing a rather convincing Fake Dick Costolo, accepted the award. Chionsini's last tweet, dated from almost a year ago, rings today with newfound prescience:
@twitter i work at a non profit at 5th and mission with seniors and the landlord is jacking our rent to attract tech firms. thanks a lot
— James Chionsini (@Chionsini) February 28, 2012
The Crappies have followed a wave anti-gentrification protests across the Bay Area, where private buses transport Google workers to and from the company's Mountain View headquarters. The protests, widely covered in both tech and mainstream press, highlight the tensions rippled by the wave of a tech economy that fails to lift all boats.
"San Francisco is in a crisis," decries Jobs With Justice. Median rental prices recently topped $3,000 for the first time in history, situating the City by the Bay as the country's single most expensive place to live.

Cloten: I would this music would come. I am advised to give her music o' mornings; they say it will penetrate. Come on, tune. If you penetrate her with your fingering, so; we'll try with tongue too. If none will do, let her remain; but I'll never give o'er. First, a very excellent good-conceited thing; after, a wonderful sweet air with admirable rich words to it; and then let her consider.
Musician: Hark, hark! the lark at heaven's gate sings …
Thus double entendre of the bawdiest kind introduces a song which was very dear to the Victorians (it might have been something composed by Arthur Sullivan for this was the type of Schubert he adored and emulated) and which played its part in early Schubert reception in a more prudish England than Shakespeare's. This is another creation from the summer holiday in Währing (perhaps the relatively well-to-do Schobers had a copy of the Wiener Shakespeare Ausgabe in the house). It was a period which finds Schubert composing not very prolifically, but like a god. How effortless this all seems, this tender serenade with the chirruping of the lark evoked by a delicate semiquaver motif which also brings to mind tiny elfin trumpets announcing the dawning of a new day. These piano figurations seem as delicate as dew drops on an exquisite summer morning, and they have already been prophesied in Die Rose (at the phrase 'Es kam die Morgenröte', also descriptive of dawn and opening flower buds), a Schlegel setting from 1822. The cheekily genial music of An Silvia has given way to something much more ethereal. The song as the composer intended it (without the two extra verses written by Friedrich Reil for the second Diabelli edition of 1835) is over in a trice, as transitory as the best British weather.
The song is in C major, but we hear the tonic chord in root position only rarely. So much of it is written over a dominant pedal that the listener seems suspended in that dream world, half-sleeping and half-waking, in which Imogen finds herself. At the repeat of 'Der Blumenkelche deckt' there is a real modulation to the dominant, but this yields immediately to the dominant of the 'Neapolitan' key of A flat major. At 'Der Ringelblume Knospe schleusst' we are thereby drawn by this distant tonality into the secret world of flowers, the composer revelling in the pathetic fallacy with the same sense of wonder which we hear in some of Schumann's flower songs, above all in Am leuchtenden Sommermorgen from Dichterliebe. As the serenade progresses it gathers momentum and enthusiasm with the heat of the rising sun. Delicate pleas give way to an outburst of energy where the invitation to arise becomes a command. Capell is amusing here: 'Imogen would have been altogether too startled at being bidden arise by the interval of a seventh [at 'Steh auf'] and could only have taken the aubade for a brawl.' This is perhaps saying too much, for each successive 'auf' is underpinned by a different bass harmony, and, in never being grounded on the tonic, the vocal line soars like a lark in the clear air. The return of the prelude as a postlude restores the decorum and the sense of musicians gently tapping on the window to rouse the stay-abed. Like the serenade to Silvia, this is a masterpiece of economy and delight.

Throughout the 90's I used an old Minolta X-300 that I could not fault at all - absolutely loved it.
At the start of the 00's the X-300 developed a leak and as I couldn't afford a DSLR (and the quality wasn't that great at that point) and I didn't want another film camera, I went for a fuji compact digital for several years.
In 2009 I decided that DSLR's were affordable enough and the tech was good enough to be a viable purchase so I plunged for a Sony Alpha 200 (thinking that it would be the closest thing to a Minolta that I could get).
I've struggled with it really.......I found the Minolta much easier to use and I could figure out why.
I can get similar results, but the Sony takes a lot more effort.
After reading around, its dawned on me that big difference is the lens......50mm prime f1.8 on the X-300 and an 18-70mm f5.3 on the Sony.........so my problem has always been getting enough light into the Sony to achieve the same results as the Minolta.
So, given that the Sony is now 3 years old and a 50mm f1.4 lens is around £300.........should I get a lens or a new camera?
I guess the camera is ok, no video (but i've got an iphone), 10.2M - so the quality is still good - I guess the only issue is that, If I get a lens, I tie myself into Sony........
Its a big purchase for me - and for an old camera.......I just want to make sure i'm doing the right thing??
