SIM2 aims high with $58,000 Grand Cinema HT5000E DLP projector – Engadget

SIM2 never fails to stun, and it’s proving yet again that it couldn’t care less about the global economic situation (or that it just aims at a class of people that are simply unaffected) with the Grand Cinema HT5000E. Said device was actually outed yesterday courtesy of an HDGiants pair-up, but today we’re being gifted with the official details. The three-chip DLP beamer includes a trio of 0.95-inch DarkChip4 DMDs, a 1,920 x 1,080 native resolution, six lens options, Ethernet jack for remote control and world-class color uniformity / edge-to-edge focus capabilities. Yeah, it’ll cost you more than most vehicles and even some diminutive homes at $57,995, but at least the white glove delivery service is included. A true bargain, let us tell you. Full release is after the break.

The price is fearsome, though. 😮

Contrary to what you know, the internet is NOT a series of tubes.

Heh – guys, this is the a large chunk of the TCE Computer Science curriculum in 8 minutes.

Well worth the watch. Watch it already!

Excellently presented, with beautiful animation, and a somewhat cool voice-over.

Lulwut? That sentence pretty much summed up the entire MS Keynote… I didn’t even know such a thing existed.

As an aside, it’s interesting to note that all the presentations (Palm, Microsoft) are all doing “Keynote” presentations.

They do know that Keynote is an Apple product right?

Or is Keynote just the industry name for presentation? 😀
