Have you ever spent money on big business? What do you think about investing $ 655 million? That's what I just did LG Display. The company has spent that kind of money for the launch of its new generation of OLED TVs. This is undoubtedly a big bet and LG is quite sure who will win in this race.

The first work of the new generation of OLED screens in these months begin in a plant located in Paju, South Korea. Mass production of the new screens is a different story, as it is expected by mid-year just ahead.

Recall that LG is a leader and innovator in the market for displays and TVs, and even last month released its 55-inch OLED TV at CES 2013. The bet made by LG is very large, that is clear, and it is expected that consumers begin to demand better products in the coming years, so 4K TVs will become very fashionable.

If a company can develop the new generation of screens that everyone expects, then LG is insurance firm with the best chance.

On Tuesday, Apple announced that some Macintosh computers used by its employees had been infected by hackers recently. There is no evidence that hackers have done with some data and Apple has reportedly been working on a software tool whose function is to identify and repair infected Macintosh computers, which would be completed at this time. Infected systems within Apple have been isolated and removed from the company's internal network.

An unknown group of hackers managed to exploit a bug in the Java plugin used in web browsers. A similar malware was used to attack Facebook earlier, and the recent attack he suffered Apple also suffered other companies.

For a long time it was thought that Apple computers were the safest in the industry, but not the operating system was impenetrable, but there was a lack of attention from hackers to the platform, as most teams have always made use of Windows, the operating system in the world with more vulnerabilities. Maybe now that Apple is achieving greater market share hackers have decided to change their objectives.

What do you think? Did difficult time ahead for Apple?

A comparative adsl can cut expenses at home

The current economic crisis is playing strong everyone, so we try to save at every possible opportunity, it is often necessary to pay attention to every euro or dollar spent.

Interestingly one of the issues to which attention is paid less, is how much you could save on monthly expenses we spend on telecommunications services. In particular, the flat rate ADSL often comes in combination with a flat rate calls and also includes the phone line, causing them to pay a monthly package. To find the best deal on price / quality is essential a comparative adsl

In general, most consumers are already satisfied once the ADSL connection has been installed and the Internet works the way it should be run, especially if this is achieved with save a few euros per month compared to ADSL offerings other providers we offer to pay.

Many people who do not have in mind a few dollars a month does not sound like much, of course not, but to look at the full year, you can save up to 100 euros a comparative adsl, a sum that certainly everyone wants to be at the end of extra year. He who has the ability to change your ADSL flat rate, you should. Particularly recommended if the current ADSL contract and has the duration of 24 months, ie, the rates are almost two years old.

Staying consistent with the flat rate ADSL with today appears to be more convenient to perform the contract in the first place, but it can break a chance to get a great rate and offers better conditions within the new mobile phone contracts, always can expect new phones, instead what you would expect in a new ADSL contract are better for the same price or even a lower price, plus a new ADSL router or ADSL modem that is included in some offers by various companies .

A new high of contract with a wireless router that has improved technology transfer and improved security settings, they are actually already enough reason to make a change promotion and search different deals ADSL Internet.

You must know that in a comparison of ADSL is noted exactly the period of the contract, signed again a two-year contract does not always make sense, even if the offer is very economical, because the price situation and tenders in services may vary very quickly, so a long time fixed contract, can be annoying.

The transition can be reasonable in an offer ADSL when the contract period is one month, so you can expect a provider with an attractive offer ADSL to sign a contract for two years. In summary, comparative adsl is recommended for a change to a new provider with a duration as short as possible after completion of the previous contract, or switch to an ADSL provider that automatically reduce their rates of ADSL.

This way we can save money and yet have always renewed our technology.

Scientists want to use a solar weapon to destroy meteorites

http://i.imgur.com/RpJ3EaJ.jpg

Is this idea the start of construction of a device like the Death Star from Star Wars? The meteorite fell in Russia a few days ago and the close passage of an asteroid 16 hours later have produced some panic among the population, and many fear a giant space rock end to our world in a few years. To avoid such a horrible death, two California scientists have to work and have begun to develop a weapon capable of destroying meteorites.

His invention is called Solar Energy Directed Targeting of Asteroids and Exploration, or DE-STAR for short. It is a system that uses orbiting solar power to fire a powerful laser beam capable of deflecting the great meteor off course to avoid collision with the Earth.

The two scientists have been working on the idea into reality for more than one year, but to carry it out need to use existing technology (solar energy collection) and one that has not yet been developed, but are expected to be in a couple of years (a powerful laser destructor).

Different sizes have been considered for the DE-STAR, from one measuring approximately 2 meters to another that was about 10km in diameter. One thing is clear: the bigger, the more powerful the laser shoot.

Will this be too much science fiction or a reality in a few years?
