With gold prices rising and the economy falling, some people started to dig deeper for gold in California and they are actually finding quite a bit of it!

“Wallpaper with changing designs, bulbless lamps that shed light from their shades, mediaeval-looking scrolls that unroll to become flexible full-colour displays… These are just a few of the new devices the approaching era of printed electronics could bring.”

“Several new e-readers, including Amazon’s Kindle and Sony’s eReader, use electronic-paper technology that is easier to read than conventional displays. But e-paper still suffers in comparison to conventional liquid crystal displays in terms of refresh speed and vividness of color. Electronics manufacturer Fujitsu says it is shipping an LCD-based electronic reader called FLEPia in Japan next month that displays vivid color, a first in the industry. It hopes the technology can compete directly with E Ink, the manufacturer of the black-and-white e-paper displays used in the Kindle and eReader, though with a pricetag of more than $1,000, FLEPia may still have a way to go.”
