LG Takes 3D to School - Literally[teaser]LG's new passive 3D displays and projectors are aimed at businesses and schools. [/teaser] "Beyond the living room," says Dr. Nandhu Nandhakumar, the senior vice president of advanced technology at LF, "the immersive experience of 3D video will help transform commercial display applications in the years ahead." Advances in technology are fun, but in the long run there's usually some sort of practical application too. So while the main focus of 3D is on entertainment, LG is looking towards education, or possibly edutainment. "As businesses explore how to leverage this technology to engage consumers and drive business, LG is creating products with the versatility to entertain and educate." Among the new commercial displays on the way from LG is the CF3D – a single lens 3D projector. It boasts 2,500 ANSI-lumens and a 7,000:1 contrast ratio. It's got calibration technologies to help with that whole 3D thing and even TruMotion 120Hz, which is normally only seen on televisions.

Boxee Box Pushed Back to November[teaser]The official Boxee blog cites both hardware and software issues, while stressing that the experience will be as good as or better than Boxee on PC. [/teaser] Oh Boxee Box, how you disappoint us. We've been talking about you for so long now and we were really looking forward to that Q2 release. But we're nearing the end of the second quarter now and you never showed up. We don't like being stood up Boxee, but we understand that sometimes things do happen. We know you're trying to get Flash 10.1 running smoothly and make 1080p streaming simple. Point is – the Boxee Box is gonna be a little while yet. It's still slated for a 2010 release, and according to the official blog, it's still coming in at under $200. There's a lot to get working on the device, and it's understandable that there would be a delay. But with all of the new connected devices coming out, like the PopBox slated for July 4th and the upcoming Google and Apple sets, the delay could end up getting the company lost in the shuffle. Then again, November is usually a pretty good month for sales, so proper promotion could make the Boxee Box huge. Source: Boxee BlogPosted Tue Jun 15, 2010 at 09:00 AM PDT by: -

Cablevision Expands West – Acquires Bresnan Communications[teaser]The New York based cable provider is looking for a foothold in the west. [/teaser] If you live in the Northeast, chances are you're familiar with Cablevision. It's one of many providers servicing the area, and well, that's the problem. There are a lot of options in places like New York when it comes to television service. So Cablevision has decided to expand outward, going against what most analysts and stockholders expected. In an effort to get something going outside of its normal area of operations, Cablevision has picked up Bresnan Communications. Bresnan provides cable and internet to Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming, where it faces little to no competition in most areas. There's no word yet on just how this will affect current Bresnan customers, but they may be time to start getting used to Cablevision branding.
