Sony’s 0.3 mm OLED is Smokin’
I’d like to introduce you to the mother of all OLEDs. Sony’s latest OLED is a mere 0.3mm thick (or 0.0118 inches!). Details are sparse, but we know that the OLED will have a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels. Allegedly, the picture is amazingly crisp. Sony plans on having these OLEDs on the market in 2-3 years.

Netflix Offers Unlimited Streaming, Tolls the End of Blockbuster
Effective immediately, any Netflix customers with unlimited plans will be able to download an unlimited number of movie rentals per month. Currently, Netflix boasts over 6,000 movies and shows available for download (compared with the over 90,000 titles that are available by mail). Yet, this number is sure to increase rapidly to keep up with consumer interest. This may be the last nail in the coffin of traditional movie renting; although Blockbuster tried to keep up to Netflix through Blockbuster Online, only a rival online download plan will save them now. Netflix continues to revolutionize the media industry. With a starting price of $8.99 for unlimited movie rental downloads, Netflix is sure to gain a huge number of new users.

Pansonic’s Godlike 150″ TV
There’s not much I wouldn’t do to get my hands on Panasonic’s behemoth advanced high definition tv. At 150″ diagonally (or 12.5 feet!), Panasonic’s definition is 2160 x 4096 (4x normal high definition). It sucks in 220 volts (twice what average household sockets provide), costs $115,000, and requires a viewing distance of at least ten meters. So, while extremely impractical, Panasonic’s newest TV is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
