Sony just revealed the new laser they’re developing alongside Tohoku University. Regardless of the future of physical media, the specs are astounding to consider. The blue-violet laser fires ultra fast bursts of very thin beams of light. The wavelength measures 405 nanometers, pulsing for durations of 3 picoseconds. (A nanometer, as most of you know, is one billionth of a meter. And a picosecond is one-trillionth of a second.) The light output will be over 100x that of similar lasers. Such a laser could read a next generation media with 20x the capacity of Blu-ray, meaning you could [...]

Sharp has told TechRadar that is keen to force its way back to the forefront of the UK public’s consciousness, admitting that the brand has not been viewed as strongly since a high-profile sponsorship with Manchester United ended 10 years ago. From 1982 to 2000 Sharp was the shirt sponsor of one of the biggest sports brands in the world in a period of explosive growth for Manchester United and huge success for the club.

Last season’s Marc Jacob’s bunny ears are this season’s antlers. Satchels? Still in, along with back packs and waisted leather pocketbooks. [...]
