Caption contest: Gulliver’s iPhone makes it big in Hollywood

So apparently the hidden island of Lilliput has cellular coverage, but who cares — it’s still gonna be another crap movie. Way to ruin Gulliver’s Travels with Jack Black. Joe: “Finally, Angry Birds the way it was meant to be played.” Darren: “That’s a big iPhone.” Josh T.: “Apple’s new doorknob was a game changer.” Paul: “Time-traveling Jack Black plants hidden iPhone reference in Jonathan Swift novel.” Thomas: “It’s holding you wrong.” Tim: “Eighteen months ago, the first evidence of intelligent life off the Earth was discovered. It was buried forty feet below the lunar surface, near the crater Cupertino.” Vlad: “It’s just a jumbo iPhone, I don’t see what all the fuss is about.” Sam: “What does this mean? It’s so bright, so vivid.” Sean H.: “And so did the tiny scholars toil for decades to unravel the mysteries of the blue block, and the significance of its question marks.” Richard Lai: “Paul Miller makes a cameo appearance in this scene, tut-tuts at the low pixel density.” Continue reading Caption contest: Gulliver’s iPhone makes it big in Hollywood Caption contest: Gulliver’s iPhone makes it big in Hollywood originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 03 Nov 2010 12:57:00 EDT.

AUO trumpets ‘deadzone-free’ laptop and tablet 3D displays, recommends leaving glasses at home

Hello, future! We had an inkling that glasses-free 3D was the next big thing when we had a gaze at Intel’s display back at CES earlier this year, but it seems that AUO is out to overcome the largest hurdle when dealing with lenticular lens 3D technology: viewing angles. Today, the outfit has revealed the world’s first deadzone-free naked eye 3D notebook panel at FPD International 2010, and as the lengthy title indicates, this solution will enable you to view 3D content sans glasses and without positioning yourself carefully in front of the screen. Purportedly, AUO’s tapping into SuperD’s naked eye 3D wizardry to create a 15.6-inch laptop (1080p) and 10.1-inch tablet (WXGA) panel, and there’s even an eye-tracking mechanism that’s baked in to capture viewers’ eyeball movements. Zanier still, both 2D and 3D modes can operate concurrently on the same display, and the viewer can switch back and forth between the two modes without having their brain implode. The company’s pushing a mass production date of Q3 2011, which means that the last CES this planet ever sees should be quite the interesting one.
