Saudi Princes and 8-bit Nintendos = The day before Science is Neat Saturday!

Tech-mo-logy: if discarded 8-bit nintendos banded together and came back to rule the earth. As for actual technological relevant facts: Ever wonder what the differences are between LCD and Plasma? Lay people go here and look for quick guide to LCDs and Plasma in the first paragraph. Interesting to say the least. (there is a segway, trust me...not: The verbal kind.) Anyway... What would you do if you had a million dollars? The obvious answer: two chicks at the same time. hint: (highlight the "blank" spot). Ok, hotshot, what would you do if you had 300 million dollars? retire forever? Well, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal decided to buy the world's largest jumbo jet. Granted, he has billions of dollars at his fingers, so this is really just a drop in the bucket, but wow. Some of the details: After they remove the seats, this 5000 sq ft "building" (which apparently has a wing span a football field) will have a sauna, dinning facility and a movie theater. Oh yeah, and it'll take about 15 people just to run the whole john. wow, again. So that got me thinking: if I was able to upgrade something in my house (addition, new appliances, etc) what room would I do? well, I would definitely like a new kitchen, but adding an entertainment room would be awesome. What would you need? Awesome seating would be key. Sound, lighting and the system itself. One component that I'd need to look into would be audio visual projectors. I don't know a lot about them, so what I'd need to do was find a company that specialized in high end A/V equipment. One company that seemed to have it together was Reflex Ltd. From their site, I found about all sorts of things audio/visual. Remember the LCD/Plasma issue? (ah, the segway) Well, LCD pictures start to lose lots of contrast and color when viewed at an angle. Pretty much all plasma screens, on the other hand, retain their quality up to around 160 degrees. Who knew? Now we all do. Well, I don't have a million dollars, let alone 300, so I don't really have to worry about this stuff. But I maintain, it's always good to learn and look into things because you never know. have a good one, ab.
