LG’s next set of 3D glasses were designed by a designer, will grace CES 2011
December 8, 2010 No Comment
Alain Mikli, for those of you (and us) who didn’t know, is a highly regarded designer of eyeglasses. LG, as we’re all aware, is a 3D-peddling purveyor of HDTVs. Marry the two together and the offspring is a rather fetching set of 3D goggles , built out of “select metals,” and featuring a co-patented nose bridge and perfect weight balancing for the utmost in user comfort. LG promises to let us play around with the new eyewear at CES next month, which we’ll be more than happy to do — telling you about the eventual price tag, on the other hand, probably won’t be such a pleasant experience. More imagery of the specs and the full press release follow after the break.

Photo: charlotte macey Lavender sachets are so lovely; they smell sweet and look nice in your drawer. They are supposed to keep away the moths (although the jury is still out on that one) and help you sleep peacefully. Here’s a small gift for yourself or a friend that you can make without a sewing machine. Use whatever nice fabric you have and decorate it as simply or as lavishly as you wish. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

CANCUN, Mexico-U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urged governments to rise to the global-warming challenge, and Pacific islanders pleaded for haste in drafting a new pact to slow climate change before their homes are swallowed by the rising ocean. The appeals Tuesday came as a two-week U.N. climate conference moved into its final days, with delegates seeking to resolve a host of arguments barring agreements to help poor countries cope with climate change and protect the world’s last native forests. With divisions running deep, the 193-nation conclave set aside the seemingly…

You’ll need to pop into a Quick Chek in New York or New Jersey to take advantage for now, but if you and iTunes just aren’t on speaking terms, a hear-to-heart with a MOD Systems’ Download2Go kiosk may be your best alternative. Planted in ten locations across aforementioned states, these kiosks work a lot like the movie-equipped ones that were installed in various Blockbuster locations and in 30 US airports, but rather than hosting the newest chick flicks, these are loaded down with singles, albums and other things you may enjoy on your so-called MP3 player. You can get a general idea of how it works with a film just after the break, but whatever you do, make sure you bring an unloaded SD card or USB drive.

The US and UK may be the only officially official markets for the Samsung-built Nexus S from Google, however Sammy’s Russian team has already dished out a few extra details on overseas availability. Penciling in a February 2011 launch for the Gingerbread flagship, the Russki guys point out that their version of the Nexus S will come with a 4-inch Super Clear LCD instead of the Super AMOLED panel adorning the English-speaking variants. This is most likely motivated by the still limited supply of S-AMOLED displays, though we wouldn’t fret too much — the Super Clear stuff has shown that it’s no slouch either. If anything, it’ll be the February release that has us grumbling our way through winter.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Furious supporters of eliminated candidates set fires and put up barricades in the streets of Haiti’s capital after officials announced that government protege Jude Celestin and former first lady Mirlande Manigat would advance to a second-round runoff in presidential elections. The results announced late Tuesday were immediately questioned at home and abroad, threatening more unrest for a country wracked by a cholera epidemic and still recovering from a devastating Jan. 12 earthquake. Popular carnival singer Michel “Sweet Micky” Martelly trailed Celestin by about 6,800 votes – less than 1 percent, according to the results released by Haiti’s Provisional Electoral…

Beijing (CNN) — China is all set to give out its own first-ever peace prize Thursday, a move apparently to counter the Norwegian Nobel committee’s choice of imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo as this year’s laureate. Organizers told CNN they will present the Confucius Peace Prize — which comes with an award of $15,000 — in Beijing to promote the ancient sage’s philosophy, a day before the Nobel committee honors Liu in Oslo. “China is a great nation that has been influenced by the Confucian concept of peace for a long time,” said Tan Changliu, chairman of…
