Flexing the boundaries of flash memory
Flash memory is a compact form of storage that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed. To date, it’s been primarily used in memory cards and USB flash drives, but during the past two years it has made its way to notebook SSD hard drives.
The memory developed at the University of Tokyo is physically flexible and can be used for large-area sensors, electronic paper and other large-area electronic devices if its memory retention time can be extended, beyond the current one-day limit. It also provides a glimpse of how computing devices could become more physically versatile depending on the situation and other components necessary to make the device work.

Along with McMansions and Hummers, it looks like the giant-sized HDTV has become a symbol of a not-so-distant era where people wanted bigger and better, their debt limits be damned. According to a new survey by electronics Web site Retrevo, the Black Friday spike in HDTV demand showed that respondents were far more—170% more—interested in sets smaller than 37 inches than those sized 37 to 50 inches.
If you think the discrepancy is entirely due to the fact that most buyers already have a larger HDTV and are looking to add another in a bedroom or study, think again: 46 percent of respondents said they’re looking to buy their first HDTV. Another interesting finding from the survey is that a sizable minority of people (42%) don’t think they need to view a set in advance of purchasing, trusting in reviews, brand and friend recommendations instead. Just 43% felt they needed to buy an HDTV in a bricks-and-mortar store, whether because they preferred the experience, didn’t want to pay for shipping or just wanted the instant gratification of taking the set home that day

So far, the Electronics Manufacturers Recycling Management Company (MRM) has collected more than 3 million pounds of old-fangled televisions being discarded in the national transition from analog to digital formats.
The figure was released this week by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which has been running a National TV Recycling Challenge to help divert at least some analog TVs from improper/irresponsible disposal fates. MRM was the winner of the challenge, which has so far recycled close to 8.2 million pounds of materials. The materials were collected between January and August. MRM is a joint venture of electronics giants Panasonic, Sharp and Toshiba.
