Well, if were just the woofer that needed a connection it would be cool, the satellite speakers could do well with a powerful battery. But sadly, everything’s wired out here, save the one that connects to your music source (that too, with a dongle). The main...

Firstly we need to know what 3M’s 3D displays are all about. Basically, these are developed using a technology that makes it possible to have 3D displays on LCD panels.

We may soon be seeing technology get its inspiration from mantis shrimps that are found Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It’s said that their vision system is the most complex one around. They can view 12 colors, that’s four times as much as men can. The light sensitive cells in the eyes of these shrimps work in a similar fashion like the electronic sensors in DVD players. The part where shrimps better DVD players is that they can convert...
