~samsung 3D LED TV



let's see now.

1. introduce the new 3D TV. Check.
2. do it in the most interactive/creative way possible. Check.
3. tease with behind-the-scene clips to add realism. Check.
4. hire talents/actors as random, uninitiated crowds totally in awe. Check.
5. use ambient soundtrack that segues into an ever inspiring crescendo. Check.
6. and finally, show how thin/big/shiny the tv really is as a signoff. Check.
7. 3D glasses needed to use this very technology. Err..oops?

waddaya know.

they somehow forgot to tell/imply/show that you would need 3D glasses to use this technology properly. still, i love the direction. the interpretation of endless imagination.

Err..

Surprise! NVIDIA has officially unleashed its new GeForce GTX 280 and GTX 260 graphics cards. The GTX 280, NVIDIA's flagship model, is reportedly 50% faster than last year's 8800 GX2 when in its overclocked AMP! Edition, and it is loaded with around twice as many transistors as the 9800. The new single-chip processor packs some serious number crunching, such as a 142 GB/s memory bandwidth with a 512-bit memory interface. Other final specs look to include 1GB GDDR3 memory, two Dual Link DVI connectors, and, of course, an overclocked chipset. In short, it's the fastest graphics card you can get. Don't go nuts just yet, though -- the GTX280 with 1GB of RAM will run you a cool $649. The lower-end GTX 260 with 896MB is a more palatable $399. GTX280 availability starts tomorrow, and GTX 260s will hit the streets on June 26. And to finally put this joke to rest: Yes, they will run Crysis.
