Share An eminent, yet unnamed, gaming god sat down for a session of unprecedented magnitude last week. The man supposedly dropped $15,000 to park his recliner underneath "the world's second largest LED screen." (He must have auctioned off a colossal stockpile of geeky, collectible figurines.) Housed a Beijing pedestrian mall, The Place, the screen measured over 80,000 square feet. The mysterious, ...

We don't want to insult any of our loyal readers when we say that water sculpture, in general, rarely attains an aesthetic value exceeding the fine objets available in your monthly SkyMall catalog. (Maybe you have one? Send pics!) Perhaps Peter Barnum, Srinivasa Narasimhan and Takeo Kanade -- researchers at Carnegie Mellon University -- also enjoy the aesthetic of cheaply produced, disco ...

Last week, we told you about how Nintendo's next DS model will feature 3-D technology without those dorky glasses. However, details were pretty scarce. Today, one more piece of the puzzle might have fallen into place. According to an Associated Press report, Sharp has unveiled a 3-D mobile device display that works without glasses. While nobody will confirm it, we figure it's inevitable that ...

We here in America know that everything is bigger in Texas, but the Lone Star's got nothing on Scandinavia. For example, Norway has the largest capital reserve of any country, making it the wealthiest in the world by monetary value. Some of the largest sea predators -- like the sperm whale and the basking shark -- call Norwegian waters home, while the people of Norway represent one of the largest ...

Art Center College of Design graduate student Julia Yu Tsao's thesis project 'Curious Displays' rejects the idea of a display as a single unit, like a monitor or mobile device. Instead, Yu Tsao's project is made up of a series of independent blocks, which are fully mobile with the ability to interact with one another. The blocks can coalesce into a single form (such as a television screen), or ...

Twenty years ago, as one of the world's biggest rock bands, U2 could appease their fans by simply playing "Where the Streets Have No Name" on a building rooftop. Twenty years later, U2 is still huge, and their live performance has evolved into a gargantuan show of lights, screens, and over-the-top stage props. Don't believe us? Check out the band's expanding screen currently in use on the U2 ...

They're not much more useful or cost efficient than a second or third regular-sized display, but Korean company Nanovision's soon-to-be-released 7-inch mini-LCDs -- model-named MIMO -- are novel, and probably a bit more convenient to hook up thanks to a USB interface. Two models will hit the streets of Korea in just a couple of days, and they both work in either landscape or portrait mode at ...

Well we've certainly never seen anything quite like this. Alienware unveiled a new curved DLP gaming monitor as part of the pre-CES festivities, saying it will make gaming more immersive. We've heard claims like this before from companies making 3D displays, VR goggles, and sub woofer-packed chairs, but they've all kind of left us thinking "seriously?" But Alienware's new display is quite ...

Tech gossip site Valleywag has compiled an amusing roundup of the "worst news photos of computer screens" -- those generic, photo agency shots meant to help illustrate a story. For example, we once used the photo above for a story about choosing a safe password. We wouldn't call it horrible, though that woman's giant eyebrow is definitely a distraction . . . what do you want to bet her password ...
