Sharp's 8k TV Is 16 Times More HD than the Most HD TV
Sharp's lineup of TVs has been pretty lacklustre so far. Oh! Except for this 85-inch 8k television, which is made up over 33 million pixels that look so shockingly good I actually felt ill.

I trudge past several million quid's worth of 3DTVs, looking for a good place to take a shit. The toilets are all filthy. CES attendees are overwhlemingly men. Men are filthy, especially when they've been drinking too much coffee and eating Vegas buffets.
Video eyewear hasn't been the most practical, or even quality, technology to emerge over the past 10 years, but it still carries an essence of the future with it. And while they're not any more practical, Lumus Technologies' 720p DK-32 See-Through video eyewear struck enough of a balance between picture quality, wearability and that future factor for my enjoyment.
Casio didn't announce much at CES this year, but they are showing off a crazy 2D to 3D conversion service with results that literally make your photos leap off the page.
When I'm shopping for a new fridge (obviously a frequent occasion) I'm not interested in how much ice it can produce every hour, how crisp it would keep the vegetables I'm probably supposed to be eating, or even how much it will reduce my electricity bill.
Don't think Apple is not at CES. They are there, everywhere. You can't see them, but 250 stealth Apple employees are at CES 2012. They are not there to show things. They are there to voraciously analyse the competition.
Fujifims' new X-Pro-1 is the most sophisticated mirrorless camera we've ever touched. We said sophisticated, not complicated. If you know the difference, you are going to love this camera.
Games company Sega will take one look at Crazy Hedgy and probably have cause for concern. Not because the title character is a hedgehog – aside from species, he bears no resemblance to Sonic the Hedgehog. But because the core concept of tilt and roll appears to have been lifted verbatim from another of their major franchises, Super Monkey Ball. Is replacing monkeys with hedgehogs enough to keep the lawyers at bay?
Mark your calendars: Apple has summoned the press corps for a special event on January 19th in New York City. That's next Thursday for those keeping count. What's this going to be? A special version of the iPad for students, perhaps?
Russia’s not had a lot of luck as of late with their space program. Explosions, wayward rockets and now a dead satellite chock-a-block full of fuel sits in orbit, waiting to come back to Earth with a bang. But according to Russia’s space chief it might not be its fault -- he suspects sabotage.
When we found out about ViewSonic's £100 tablet that runs Android's latest (and definitely greatest) OS, we were more than just a little skeptical. We wanted to believe, but we've been hurt before. After some hands-on time, I can confirm that our dead-inside hearts were dead-on.
Despite the rise in NFC payment technologies, the humble magnetic and chip-and-pin credit card is still king, and that doesn’t look to be changing soon. But the credit card is evolving and it’s gaining a screen and battery.
The iPad offers great promise in terms of music making, and I'm not talking about karaoke or strange virtual guitar concepts: artists like Gorrilaz have managed to record full songs using them. Now you can, too, thanks to Griffin.
Astronomers have discovered the far, far away galaxies. The farthest galaxy cluster ever seen, in fact, a whooping 13.1 billion light-years away. According to the researchers, "these galaxies formed during the earliest stages of galaxy assembly, when galaxies had just started to cluster together."
Books are wonderful, wonderful things. I love my Kindle, I really do. But this video makes me realise just how much I love the hard copy: the crack of a spine, the smell of the paper, the turn of the page. My Kindle doesn't do those things: it just runs out of battery.
It’s a bit strange, it has to be said, that the iPad 2 hasn’t gotten an injection of Siri yet; unless Apple’s going to screw us and leave it as an iPad 3-exclusive, of course. But according to new evidence found in a recent iOS 5.1 beta, Apple is actually working on Siri-powered Dictation for the iPad.
