With the new 3D TV’s coming out, I wonder just what the Anime companies are going to do. I believe that we see more computer generated programming coming out in the next few years… What do you think? Here is the WSJ report on the new channel…

At least that is probably what some people might think. A 22-year-old South Korean girl, Kim Yeo-hee, landed a record deal recently by posting a home made video of her singing a Lady GaGa song. What makes it even more unique is that she accompanies her singing with 4 iPhones running music apps. More details can be seen here on the Akihabara News site. For now, here are a couple of videos showcasing her talent.

While watching, I also came across this teaser video of her work after being signed… WOW, sounds great!

LaptopAkihabara News posted an article how South Koreans are able to watch a number of live cable channels over their PC utilizing the internet. This new service will cost roughly $3 per month and offers 53 channels. Sounds pretty cool to me. I subscribe to U-Verse currently and my dream is that one day they will open remote access to the home DVR via PC.
