Alessi’s “Birds & Clouds” Sushi set is an odd combination for a cool gift. I am not sure how clouds and birds fit in with sushi. But it shouldn’t really matter when you have a cloud for a plate, soy sauce bowl and chopstick holder. Nothing like a serene setting when eating raw animals. At least the silk placemat sounds authentic to it’s origins.

These Sushi shaped screen cleaners will help keep even the most fingerprint ridden iPhone display nice and clean. That having been said, I would like to thank the Japanese once again for their dedication to developing products that don’t make a damn bit of sense.

Seven companies, LG Electronics, Matsushita Electric Industrial, NEC, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba and SiBEAM are forming a consortium to develop a wireless system for transmitting HD content over short distances. The goal is to allow all the different devices in your home to connect to your display without having to run a bunch of cables. And if you are running High Definition with a DVD player, Satellite and/or Cable box and a game system or two, you know the tangle of wires you have to hide. Not only that, but with a planned range of 32 feet, you can get those signals to places that would have required cables to be run across things such as fireplaces that are in the way. The best piece of news is that there is no plan for using compression, so there should be no signal degradation or loss.
The technical specs are planned to be finalized by spring of 2007, with a product hoped to be out in 2008. Ideally, if all these companies come up with a resonably cheap, viable product the technology could eventually be built into the various devices. Until then, we will have to live with add on devices that will probably cost us an arm and a leg. Maybe they will at least be competitive with the cost of Monster cables.
We had the article about the Matsushita 103 inch TV, and today Panasonic released the pricing for their 103 incher. $70,000. I compared the expected price of the Matsushita to the price of a nice car. I guess that car could be a Porsche. I guess this will have it’s own market, but I don’t expect that market to be home use. You can buy a hig-quality projector for less, and end up with a bigger picture. And if Panasonic’s TV weighs anything near the almost 500 pounds of the Matsushita, then you will need 2 friends to help you move it.

Ok, so maybe developing a display that is 1 inch larger than the previous record holder is not the ultimate coup. But anyone that sells a display that measures almost 8 feet by 4 1/2 feet and weighs 473 pounds certainly has their priorities in the right place. While no pricing has been announced, you can bet you will have a choice between this TV and a nice car. Exactly how nice remains to be seen. They only plan to sell 5,00 per year, and estimate that only about 20% of those would be used for TV viewing. Others would most likely be used for demonstrations and presentations.
My only question is, at 473 pounds, isn’t there a certain at which you need to be looking at a high end projector?
