If you live in NYC, Chicago, Florida, Northern California or Southern California, you're in luck. They hope to open more dealerships soon after, as they're able to pump out more product. Is this the start of the age of the mainstream electric car? We sure hope so.

LCD LED HDTV at CeBit, that makes the formerly buff Sharp 108-inch LCD feel downright pathetic. That's enough space to park two mini coopers on, side by side. Wait...TechnovisionWho?
[UPDATED: Aha! It's an array of LEDs, not an LCD]
The Italian company, in operation since 1987, specializes in displays for outdoor areas. Ohhh. So this is like a jumbotron. Except for inside, and HD. I refuse to believe that these are single pieces of glass. Likely they're comprised of a few panels joined together like some of the "big" TVs we saw at CES.
Regardless, that much glass -- over 15 feet by 8 feet -- forming a single picture, is rad. They unveiled them at a yacht show in February, so you can imagine the market they're aiming for. We've no idea if these will ship soon, or in the US. But that doesn't matter. You can't afford this TV.

For $75,000, it comes with 3-chip DLP, four bulbs rocking 10,000 lumens, 1080p (1920x1080), 5000:1 contrast ratio, and an "auto cleaning robot" to extend filter life to 2000 hours. The unit can operate in temps up to 113 degrees thanks to a liquid cooling system and three big exhaust fans. Could get noisy. Definitely useful for those screening rooms in hell.
The watermarks identify both the "network operator distributing the content" and the individual device. A spokesman said that people "should not be upset about this unless they are widely redistributing content." Thomson sees it as a way to "slow down piracy without limiting the use of the consumer."
So, if you feel upset or limited, that means you're a pirate.

We're feelin' what Fujitsu's done so far this year, but now we've got an idea of what it might bust out with in the near future. Last week's Fujitsu North American Technology Forum 2007 was an opportunity to flaunt not-yet-real (at least not in the US) concepts like color e-paper and FPcodes, among a few others. We've seen Fujitsu's elusive e-paper prototype before, and it's still not ready, but at least now we know that the 8-inch, 640 x 480 color display is about 0.03-inches thick, with a 12-inch version in the works and an ambitious goal to reach 2.5-meters. It requires virtually no power and can operate with a teeny boost of focused energy like radio waves from a cellphone. In addition to this e-paper flight of fancy, Fujitsu was showing off a waterproof RFID tag, along with those QR-killin' FPcodes and their vein pattern identification system we've seen before.
