  1. Re:Gah, DLP on Alienware's Curved Monitor · · Score: 1

    Some people have these problems with DLPs because of the color wheel. It is a wheel with different color translucent segments that spins very fast and produces color for the dmd. Some backlit/rear proj/front proj DLP devices use three chips, one for R G and B, but they are usually very expensive. Additionally, if this device is backlit by LED light, it is possible to use the LED to produce the color and eliminate the color wheel also. Traditionally, the faster spinning color wheels produce less ill-effect for the users (Headaches, Rainbows or RBE.)

    It is possible there is no color wheel in the unit. It may use the LED backlights to provide different colors. The article does not specify, however.

    "Is there a chance artificial intelligence & robotics will ever become generalized enough to make interaction interesting?" Who needs a girlfriend when you have robots that can perform 'interesting interactions'?

  4. I think a lot of people are missing the market on First Look at the DirecTV SAT-GO · · Score: 1

    Think about truck drivers. They already often have the entire normal size dish and have to manually adjust and rotate it whenever they stop. Something like this might be ideal for them since most of all modern trucks have TVs installed these days.
