LEDs: Its Begining Of End For The Traditional Light Bulbs

In the beginning, there was darkness.

Then came fire.

It wasn’t until the 19th century that artificial light was first generated. The big leap came in the 1880s, when Thomas Edison lit homes with the incandescent bulb. Since then, for the next 130 years, incandescents ruled the nights, the roads, and especially the Christmas tree.

But now, the incandescent light bulb, one of the most venerable inventions of its era but deemed too inefficient for our own, will be phased off the U.S. market beginning in 2012 under the new energy law just approved by Congress. In Europe alsom the stage has been set for the imminent death of the incandescent light bulb. And the rest of the World is also following the same. Already many stores across the world stopped stocking the good old bulbs already.

Most desirable brands of 2012

What women (and men) want

Our emotional connection with brands has an immeasurable impact on what we buy and how we perceive the companies behind the products.

As Gary Singer, the chief executive of Buyology, explains: "If I really, really love Apple (AAPL), then everything Apple does I will react to more positively because it's passing through this filter."

It's this filter that interests Singer and prompted Buyology, which bills itself as a consumer-psychology insight company, to collaborate with consumer research company uSamp on a survey of 4,000 Americans to determine which of 240 brands were the most desired.

"What we're really doing is scientifically measuring what is the strength of the connection with brands," Singer says.

Child of Eden

Why you should play it: Describing Child of Eden as an on-rails shooter is at once factually correct and woefully inadequate. Conjured up by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, the mind that created Rez, Child of Eden exquisitely blends myriad explosions of digital colour with a soundtrack that is occasionally so heavy you can feel in your belly. Billed as a Kinect poster-child it was criminally overlooked by the joypad-faithful masses. It offers a rich experience via every control scheme.

What the web said: “Child Of Eden is a convincing example of how motion control can breathe new life into a niche genre ... It’s a delirious, intoxicating and sometimes cruel world that’s well worth the trip.” 8/10 – Edge

He joked: "She prayed for three things - to have everyone in the entire world be fascinated with her haircut, to one day star in a movie about an evil leprechaun who kills people, and most importantly, receive a star on the prestigious Hollywood Walk of Fame. Well today, Jennifer, the trifecta is here."
