2,000 Netflix Movies to Disappear

2,000 Netflix Movies to Disappear, One of the most frequent complaints about Netflix (fair or not) is the supposed paucity of titles available for streaming. That complaint is about to get louder and more frequent because about 1,800 titles will be pulled because Netflix's (NFLX) licensing agreements for them are expiring today.

It's being called "The Great Netflix Purge" and "Streamageddon" (sometimes by the same publication). Titles from Warner Bros., MGM, and Universal will vanish from the service today. Netflix is pooh-poohing it, of course, sending out statements to argue that it's all part of the "churn" that Netflix has always been subject to as it lets some licensing deals go while signing new ones. The company told The Verge that the number of titles the streaming service carries isn't all that important anyway. Netflix's mission, the statement said is not to be a "broad distributor," but rather an "expert programmer."

Invisible Bike Helmet Goes On Sale

Invisible Bike Helmet Goes On Sale - Invisible Bike Helmet Goes On Sale – It’s been seven years in the making, but the world’s first “invisible” bike helmet is now available for purchase. The brainchild of Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin, two industrial designers from Sweden, the Hövding—Swedish for “chieftain”—is essentially a collar that deploys an airbag-like hood in case of an impact. Unlike regular hard-hat helmets, which the duo deride as “bulky, like a hard mushroom on your head,” the Hövding is designed to be unobtrusive. But the device is more than an expression of vanity. “An invisible bicycle helmet is a symbol of the ‘impossible,’” Haupt and Alstin say in the video. “If people say it’s impossible, we have to prove them wrong.”

7.85-inch iPad And Fall Release

7.85-inch iPad And Fall Release - On the heels of Google's $199 Nexus 7, Pacific Crest analyst Andy Hargreaves is predicting that Apple will introduce a 7.85-inch iPad in October:

"We anticipate an entry-level 7.85" iPad with 8GB of NAND capacity to price at $299 with an initial gross margin of 31%. We estimate Apple will sell 10.0 million 7.85" iPads in FQ1 (Dec. 2012) and 35.2 million in all of F2013. Based on estimated component order volume, we believe our iPad mini unit estimates are well within Apple's production capacity. We anticipate 25% cannibalization of the larger 9.7" iPad (for every four 7.85" iPads added, we reduced our 9.7" iPad estimate by one), so our total F2013 iPad estimate increases to 91.6 million from 65.2 million," he wrote in a report published Thursday.

What is the difference between LCD and LED?

Difference Between LED & LCD

Liquid crystal display (LCD) technology was developed in the 1970s---think digital wristwatches---and its use in televisions and computer monitors means thinner profiles and larger screens. Light-emitting diode (LED) is a newer LCD technology.

Lightest Material

Lightest Material, Scientists invent lightest material on Earth. What now? Scientists have invented a new material that is so lightweight it can sit atop a fluffy dandelion without crushing the little fuzzy seeds.

It's so lightweight, styrofoam is 100 times heavier.

It is so lightweight, in fact, that the research team consisting of scientists at UC Irvine, HRL Laboratories and Caltech say in the peer-reviewed Nov. 18 issue of Science that it is the lightest material on Earth, and no one has asked them to run a correction yet.

That's light!

The material has been dubbed "ultralight metallic microlattice," and according to a news release sent out by UC Irvine, it consists of 99.99% air thanks to its "microlattice" cellular architecture.

Nokia Microsoft partnership

Nokia Microsoft partnership, Nokia And Microsoft’s ‘Special Partnership’ Just Another Windows Phone. It was supposed to be a unique partnership: two giants of the tech world coming together to jump-start their mobile strategies and develop products greater than the sum of their two parts. Instead, what Nokia (NYSE: NOK) and Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) unveiled Wednesday looks an awful lot like Nokia’s previous hardware designs with a fairly stock Windows Phone Mango build: in other words, a phone will be hard-pressed to revive either company’s fortunes amid a fiercely competitive mobile market.

Phone embedded in arm

Phone embedded in arm, Nokia C7 sits in world’s first prosthetic smartphone arm. Mister Trevor Prideaux, a British man born without an arm on the left side of his body, now has what we’re pretty sure is the world’s first prosthetic limb with a built-in smartphone dock. Not only that, but he’s using the cool Nokia C7, a device that not only Chris Davies reviewed here on SlashGear, your humble narrator Chris Burns wrote a review for the USA side of things as well. Now one of these magical little devices sits in the hardened arm of a Brit – hows that for taking your “handicap” and making it work in your favor. Plain old human arm not looking so good to you now, is it?

IBM produces first brain chips. BM has developed a microprocessor which it claims comes closer than ever to replicating the human brain. The system is capable of "rewiring" its connections as it encounters new information, similar to the way biological synapses work.
Researchers believe that by replicating that feature, the technology could start to learn.
