If you’ve ever wanted to see a flatscreen TV’s innards and how all its gizzards fit into the TV’s supermodel-thin body—but you’ve never had the guts to do it yourself—Samsung has dissected it for you. With a LCD flat panel from its 6000 series, Samsung reveals, layer by layer, everything from its LED backlight—which is actually lit up from the sides of the panel—all the way to the front bezel.

60GHz RF Chip For High Speed Wireless Transfer
Posted on 2009 under Wireless, Digital News, Miscellaneous, Computers | No Comment24 Jan
It’s not the only group toying around in the 60GHz frequency range, but a team of researchers from Georgia Tech’s Georgia Electronic Design Center seem to be a bit further along than most, and they say that their new 60GHz RF chip could pave the way into a whole host of new, speedier wireless devices. Apparently, the chip is the first 60GHz embedded chip designed for multi-gigabit wireless use, and the researchers have already pushed it to some pretty impressive lengths, reaching speeds of 15Gbps at a distance of 1 meter, 10Gbps at 2 meters, and 5Gbps at Read more… »
