Sharp shows off 85-inch LCD HDTV with 16 times resolution of 1080p


Remember how 1080p used to be the “next big thing”? Well tomorrow’s HDTV is going to make 1080p look like a fuzzy UHF signal. No, I’m not even talking about 4k, which hasn’t reached the marketplace and promises double the horizontal resolution of 1080p. Instead, Sharp and Japan’s NHK broadcasting company are leaping ahead to Super Hi-Vision, which promises16 times the resolution of your current high-def set.
This week, Sharp unveiled the first direct-view display that could handle Super Hi-Vision in its 103 pixels-per-inch glory (compare to 36ppi for a 1080p big screen), an 85-inch LCD that boasts a staggering resolution of 7,680×4,320. It also features 10-bit color depth, though only a 60Hz refresh rate. Of course, NHK won’t be showing any trial broadcasts in Super Hi-Vision until 2020, so there’s more than just a little time to perfect this display technology further.
Those lucky enough to be in Tokyo between May 26 and May 29 will be able to see the Sharp set in action at NHK’s Science & Technology Research Laboratories. The rest of us will have to settle for watching this video clipand imagine what HDTVs will be like in the next decade.

Kurumsal Dijitalleşme mi yoksa Dijital Kurumsallaşma mı? (+Anket)

Eğer benim gibi siz de işinizin önemli bir bölümünü pazar araştırması yaparak geçiriyorsanız muhtemelen siz de en az benim kadar Türkiye'de pazar verisine ulaşmanın ne kadar zor olduğu hakkında defalarca şikayet etmiş ve sonunda yaratıcı yollar keşfetme yolunu tercih etmişsinizdir. Bunun sebebinin analitik düşünceye ihtiyacımızın olmaması mı, tembellik mi, kısa vadeli düşünmemiz mi yoksa insanüstü tahmin ve öngörü yeteneklerine sahip olmamız mı emin değilim. "Y  ou can’t manage what you can’t measure " - "Ö  lçemedeğiniz şeyi yönetemezsiniz " Her ne kadar bu söz, günümüze  yanlış  bir şekilde aktarılmış olsa da, kendi içerisinde kısmi bir doğruluk barındırmakta. Aslında bu söz ile anlatılmak istenen, ölçerek herşeyin yönetilemeyeceği fakat sonuçları iyileştirmek için süreçlerin ölçülmesi ve takip edilmesinin önemli olduğudur.  Sözün asıl sahibi W. Edward Deming, verinin ve gözlemin önemini aşağıdaki sözüyle çok güzel bir şekilde anlatmaktadır....

A Creative Way to Meet Investors - UberX

Have a cool startup idea, and want to get it funded? You could go the traditional route, blindly sending your pitch deck to every VC in Silicon Valley. Or you could follow investors on Twitter, hoping that through casual badinage you can win the hearts (and eventually, the wallets) of your startup's money source.  Or maybe, just maybe, you should drive for Uber. UberX Lowers The Bar Yes, Uber, the popular mobile app that connects drivers with people who need a lift. Founded in 2009 as UberCab, Uber has become the go-to app for hailing a sedan in markets like San Francisco, New York City and London. And while historically Uber operators have been commercial sedan drivers filling time between jobs their employer provides them, Uber's introduction of UberX in July 2012 has opened the service to cars and drivers of all kinds. This means that not only will you be picked up in a Toyota Prius or Volkswagen Jetta instead of a Lincoln Town Car, but you're also going...
