Texas Instruments is now sampling to its third-party developer network the 0.47-in. TRP Full-HD 1080p chipset—the smallest TI chipset capable of generating brighter, more efficient full high-definition projection displays from small form-factor electronics. The chipset is based on DLP Cinema technology and employs the DLP4710 digital micromirror device to deliver sharp, clear images in a compact size that enables end-user products in many form factors.
Low power consumption allows the chipset to be used in battery-powered applications, such as mobile projectors and wearable electronics. In addition, the proprietary DLP TRP architecture and adaptive DLP IntelliBright suite of algorithms deliver up to 100% higher brightness or up to 50% lower power consumption than previous DLP Pico chipset architectures.

Texas Instruments unveiled a new Tilt & Roll Pixel (TRP) DLP pico chipset. According to TI, this is the smallest (at 0.3″, which is strange because the previous model was 0.2″) and most efficient DLP chip ever. It support HD resolutions (probably 720p) and can be used in pico projectors and wearable displays, augmented reality displays and other applications. [via]
The new Texas Instruments 0.3″ HD Tilt & Roll Pixel (TRP) DLP® Pico™ chipset is TI's smallest, most power-efficient HD micro-mirror array and can generate 720p displays from compact applications, including tablets, smartphones, accessories, wearable displays, augmented reality displays, interactive surface computing, digital signage and control panels. The chipset delivers significantly higher levels of brightness and power efficiency, allowing developers to create a wide variety of applications and products in smaller form factors than ever before. The chipset's fast switching speeds of up to thousands of times per second enable the world's smallest true color RGB engines with 120Hz video performance.

Researchers at Caltech have developed a novel device which uses an integrated optical phased array (OPA) structure to project images electronically, using a single laser diode as the light source with no mechanical moving parts or lenses. From the description it seems to operate in much the same way that phased-array radars steer a radar beam by adjusting the signal phase to each antenna element in the array.
The Caltech device works at optical wavelengths, the lead researcher Ali Hajimiri and his colleagues found out they did not need traditional optics to bend light but could achieve the same result by altering the coherence of light. When two light waves are in phase in the direction of propagation they combine to give twice the amplitude and four times the energy. By changing the relative wave timing they were able to change the direction of the beam.
"Because the direction of the light beam is controlled electronically and not mechanically, it can create a sort of line very quickly," said Hajimiri. "Since the light draws many times per second, the eye sees the process as a single image instead of a moving light beam." Researchers said that "In the future, this can be incorporated into a cell phone. Since there is no need for a lens, you can have a phone that acts as a projector all by itself."

Lately I was playing with my dual color LED matrix from Sparkfun. It is a matrix of 8 by 8 dual color (red and green) LEDs that measures 5 cm by 5 cm. I just had some sprites flickering across the matrix as the magnifying glass of my "third hand" came in the way. I realized, that, if in the right distance, it will project the sprites on the ceiling. Although the projection is not very bright, it works, if the room is dark enough. Disco, here I come.

Life without porn is such a horrific idea that I never want to consider it. Namely because without porn I'd be out of a steady job and reduced to turn tricks for hot MILFs at my local cougar. But also, how would we be able to identify impromptu come-ons by hot babes getting their cable fixed? How would sexy broke girls pay for pizza? How could we ensure that we're not getting cheated by a hot mechanic?
These questions are all answered in the Guy Code's new video that explores the nightmare that would be life without porn… Continue Reading

I went to Kittichai for my birthday celebration and found the chocolate baby back ribs disgusting. (it was like eating a brownie with meat stuffed inside) However, my entree meal of lemongrass stuffed chicken was fabulous. the bananan and honey ice cream was ok, but overall I felt the meals were overpriced for such average food. Also the portions weren't that big
Posted by gt9971a on 06/14/2009
Our experience was good at this restaurant. We felt the food tasted very good (Vegetarians - You have a limited choice here). The food presentation was excellent. The atmosphere was lively but not overwhelming (good spacing between tables). This is a pricey restaurant -- which is not a bad thing if this was a fine dining restaurant which it isn't. So we liked the place but felt we were overcharged for the food. On the flip side, the wine bottles markups were lower than I had expected.
Posted by anonymous on 06/12/2009
We went there on a Thursday and it was packed after 8pm. The ambience was really nice. we thought the appetizers were better than the entrees. I would NOT recommend the chocolate pork. The steak and the duck were good. Service was pretty quick and staffs were attentive. the meal was pretty expensive. I would only go back there for special occasions.
Posted by Anonymous on 05/02/2009
We went here on a weekday and were seated immediately. The decor was amazing and the food was exceptional. Everything we had was delicious, including the appetizer papaya mango salad and the sides (stir-fried rice and the thai omelette). I would highly recommend this place.The Thai food is unlike other places in New york. I'm definitely going back
Posted by anonymous on 03/08/2009
Live locally and have been meaning to go for years, but only finally made it last night. The biggest surprise, especially after reading the poor reviews below was how good the food was. It was so refreshingly different from the usual drab "NY style Thai" which usually tastes like a poor cousin of chinese food (if that's possible!) The flavors were fresh & surprising, and the servings generous. The drinks were also lovely with fresh ginger, lemongrass & orchids. Funnily, despite the comments below, I thought the interior a bit "midtowny" ie flashy theme-y fitout for corporate types on expense accts.... but smart none-the-less. Definately going back for more!

went for restaurant week and thought it was just ok. apps were great, chicken was not good, desserts were hit/miss. drinks are fabulous. the service was terribly slow, but the room is gorgeous. would not neccesarily return.
Posted by anonymous on 01/27/2009
Went to kittichai over restuarant week and had a fabulous time. The decor was gorgeous and the food was perfect. Our waiter took his time explaining the dishes we had questions about and his recommendations were great. Definitely try the papaya mango salad when you go and take your camera for some fun pictures.
