Bomb Hoax Affects NVIDIA Employee
In a recent event, marketing director Yushing Lui was caught on a plane on the way to Hong Kong supposedly making threats that he had a bomb onboard with him in his jacket. When the flight attendant asked him if there was anything important in his jacket, he simply stated that he was withholding a bomb in it. Lui is currently pleading not guilty to these claims, and is saying that he made more of a joke reference, but did not say anything about carrying a bomb specifically. Currently, the misdemeanor charge is underway, but even if Yushing Lui did make a joke, charges can still be placed when considering the safety of all other passengers on the flight, whether an explosive device was hinted to or not.

Sony Stops Selling OLED TVs in Japan
You would think that more and more manufactures would be looking to innovate and jump onto next generation technology as soon as possible, but that is not the case for Sony. It seems they are taking two steps forward and one backwards. With all the new advancements that Sony is undertaking, such as 3D TVs, 3D support for the PlayStation 3 and the such, this announcement comes as quite unexpected. Sony has decided to stop making OLED TVs for Japan. This might not be a big loss, considering that Sony have had the same 11” TV model for the past 3 Years, but it can show many things, such as OLED just isn’t ready for the market yet. This comes as no surprise considering an 11” OLED TV costs $2000. You’d think by now, Sony would be rolling out OLED TVs by the truckload, since they were the first to release an OLED TV to consumers; instead they’ve decided to stop making them at all – for Japan at least. Hopefully this will mean something else. Let’s all stay hopeful that LG continues with their schedule – to have 40” OLED TVs by the end of the year, otherwise we shall be stuck with LCDs for quite a while more.
