New York’s Times Square is where all the action is at. After all, we have seen how Mario’s 3D world ended up at the iconic place slightly more than a year ago. This time around, the next attention grabbing thing to appear on Times Square would be Mitsubishi’s Diamond Vision display, where those over at 1535 Broadway will be able to check out this humongous display – just remember to wipe the drool from your mouths once you’re done gaping at it in awe.

The Diamond Vision display will offer more than what 4k ultra-high-definition pixel density has at the moment, despite the entire screen measuring a mammoth 25,610-square feet, while offering a pixel density of 2,368 x 10,048. In other words, this would be the highest resolution LED video display around the world, and this installation is made possible thanks to a Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision AVL-ODT10 large scale display which delivers true 10mm pixel pitch spacing. Apart from that, it will make use of a 3-in-1 surface mount LED (SMD) that boasts of Mitsubishi Electric’s revolutionary Real Black LED technology.

Todd Stih, national sales manager, Mitsubishi Electric Power Products, Inc., was proud to take note that “with 23,793,664 individual physical pixels, a video quality display of this size and density is a milestone in the industry. It exceeds 4k resolution by nearly 15 million pixels.”

As this unique billboard, if you can call it that, sports high resolution and pixel density, Mitsubishi Electric has supplied a special control system in order to provide pixel-to-pixel mapping of content and life-like images. The entire image area of the screen can then be segmented to show off multiple pixel-for-pixel 1080 HD or 4k images simultaneously, while the display canvas itself paves the way for a couple of 4k images to be displayed side by side, where the pixels will remain in the height and width for other content. Surely this coming New Year countdown is going to be different.

I suppose those hardcore gamers among you out there do not need any kind of reminding, but the single player Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor is now available on the Sony PS3 as well as the Xbox 360 over in North America, which would definitely give those two previous generation consoles some attention after taking into consideration how both the Xbox One as well as the Sony PS4 are on the receiving end of the likes of Escape Dead Island, Far Cry 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition, WWE K15, and GTA 5, depending on which part of the world you reside in at the moment.

Do not shun Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor for rolling out on the previous generation consoles – this does not mean that the game is some sort of second tier title, as the action RPG that is set within The Lord of the Rings universe managed to ring in (pun not intended) some rather rave reviews when it was introduced on the PC and current generation consoles just last month. Hopefully the overall gaming experience would be as consistent as the released versions, and for our friends who live across the pond, do expect your copy of Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor to be made available this coming November 21st.

A recent report suggested that Samsung is looking towards advanced display technologies to help fuel its growth in the smartphone market. Flexible displays are likely to be a part of that plan. During the Samsung Investor Forum 2014 in New York a top company executive revealed that Samsung Display will launch a flexible display for phones by the end of next year. This flexible display will be for smartphones which will have the capability of being folded in half.

Lee Chang-hoon, vice president of Samsung Display’s business strategic team, said that the company expects to secure production capacity of 30,000 to 40,000 flexible displays each month by the end of 2015. If this goes according to plan, Chang-hoon claims that “there will be no company that has this great production capacity by 2016,” except Samsung of course.

He also mentioned that Samsung will provide its customers with a product which will have this flexible display, however nothing has been set in stone regarding that product, so we’ll have to wait and see what shape that smartphone ultimately takes.

The company is planning an expansion of its flexible-display smartphones following the warm response that Galaxy Note Edge has received in the market. This particular smartphone has a display that curves to the right side.

Samsung also revealed during the Investor Forum 2014 that it plans to release up to 30 percent fewer smartphone models in the coming year.

Twitter’s search engine was developed in a way that it provided users with swift access to what millions of people were tweeting at that point in time, which is why it began to be increasingly looked at as a great source of crowdfunding information and following events in real-time. This meant that after a few days every tweet had to be deleted from the search feature’s index to make room for newer tweets. That changes today with a major update to the Twitter Search feature, it is now capable of finding any tweet ever posted since the micro-blogging network launched back in 2006.

Previously in order to search for old tweets that no longer appeared in search, users either had to scroll through the entire timeline of the person who posted the tweet, or use third party services like Topsy or Tweet Machine. They’re still widely used by people to locate tweets that have been deleted on Twitter.

The updated search feature lets you find any tweet from the hundreds of millions that have been posted since 2006. Currently it works with rudimentary keyword searches but Twitter will improve the feature so that it can tackle complex queries as well. It will only display tweets from public accounts, tweets that hide behind protected accounts won’t show up.

This feature has been rolled out today but it will take some time before it goes live for all Twitter users. Twitter explains the mechanics behind the updated search feature on its blog, its a lengthy read but it will certainly satisfy your curiosity about how the company made this possible.

While the Apple Watch has not quite received a concrete release date for the masses just yet, and neither do we know anything else about its battery life, this does not mean that there will be no interest in this piece of wearable technology when it is made available. Chances are, it might spark off a smartwatch frenzy, just like how the iPhone did for the smartphone market. Having said that, what is the whole point of having fantastic looking hardware when there are no apps running on it? It would be akin to a Ferrari running without fuel. Hence, we have word that developers are starting to work on apps for the Apple Watch.

Developers can now start to work on WatchKit apps prior to the mass availability of Apple Watch, where innovative WatchKit apps, actionable notifications and Glances can be enjoyed. iOS 8.2 beta SDK would enable developers to make use of the WatchKit so that they might come up with the next breakthrough new app, in addition to Glances and other actionable notifications which were specially designed for the Apple Watch interface, alongside new technologies like Force Touch, Digital Crown and Taptic Engine.

The iOS 8.2 SDK beta that includes the WatchKit is now available for iOS Developer Program members here. [Press Release]
