Sony Develops TVs That Zoom in for True Close-ups
prakslash writes "Sony has unveiled version 2 of its 'Digital Reality Creation' technology that allows viewers to pan around a TV image and then zoom in. Unlike the current TVs that simply scale the image, Sony's technology does 'true' zooming by digitally enhancing the signal to communicate gloss, depth and texture.

Just 'cause your moms female and nice to you, does'nt mean its cool to refer to her as your "Girlfriend".
But some of us are a bit pants at cutting things straight. So being able to grab a nice even slice straight from the packet to stick into the toaster is quite useful - especially when you hate having to spand too much time at all on food prep.

And you can choose how you want to slice it - you can make smaller straight pieces or longer slanted pieces. But this is somewhat different for different types of bread. For example, very light white bread for toasts is difficult to cut, because it compresses so well. :) Though in the year 2004 there is no excuse not to have a decent sharp knife.
If you just want to make a sandwich from other types of bread, there is almost no advantage to having it sliced.
Also, I have never seen sliced bread that was really fresh - like it was just several hours from the bakery at most, usually the quality is quite ordinary.
