Next generation of annoying packaging enabled by Wireless electricity

Yep, these cereal boxes light up. They’re using a new branded-technology called eCoupling that provides electricity via induction, which means the shelves have a coil with AC power running through it. The “printed coils” on the boxes allow inventory control and data exchange presumably thanks to a low-power microcontroller. But in the video after the break you can see that the printed lighting on the boxes lets them flash parts of the box art as a way to attract customers’ attention. 

We’d bet that they’re using electroluminescent materials but we weren’t able to get find specifics on how this is done. We just hope advertisers don’t start rolling noise-makers into their packaging.

Fruit Ninja HD for iPad (App Review)

Fruit Ninja HD for iPad (App Review)

Fruit Ninja is a highly addictive application that has been out for the iPhone / iPod Touch for quite awhile, but never on the iPad. This is easily one of my top 5 favorite applications for the iPhone, maybe even my top application, so I was very excited to hear that an iPad version came out. 

The iPad version is called Fruit Ninja HD and is a bit pricy, and at $4.99, I'm sure a lot of you might not buy the application. I was a little disappointed myself it was so expensive, but iPad apps are usually more expensive than iPhone apps.

The iPad version of the application has everything the iPhone version has - there is classic mode and zen mode, the dojo, openfeint, etc. There is one new feature, though, and this is that there is multiplayer mode. In multiplayer mode, you can choose between multiplayer class and multiplayer zen.

HAHAHA


LOL

3D plans for The Matrix 4 and 5?

Keanu Reeves has revealed that plans are underway for two more sequels to The Matrix. The actor, who appears as lead character Neoin the first three movies in the franchise, told Worstpreviews.comthat he and the writers of the sci-fi franchise, Andy and Larry Wachowski, have discussed the possibility of shooting the two new sequels in 3D. 

It is believed the Wachowskis are seeking 3D filmmaking advice fromAvatar creator James Cameron, who with that film helped repopularise the medium.

Reeves said they were keen to deliver something which has "never been seen" and would "truly transform" the action movie genre.

The films won't be coming any time soon. The Wachowskis are looking to complete new movie Cloud Atlasbefore thinking any more about continuing The Matrix series.
