Europe’s Best Songs From 2011 (Video) – The Hollywood Reporter

Every year in America, a few hits make the jump from across the Atlantic, but the vast majority do not. Obvious language and accent barriers (not to mention licensing deals, or lack thereof) remain the primary reason why so many songs don’t venture outside the domain of the EU, Scandinavia and beyond. But YouTube exposes exponentially more Americans to an astounding array of excellent pop offerings. Here, 15 songs from the other side of the pond that are worth checking out.

Samsung transparent LCD panel

Transparent LCD panels are more often than not the stuff of sci-fi movies, but will they ever make it to our realm and dimension? It seems that the stuff you normally see on the silver screen is now about to arrive in real life, thanks to South Korean technology giants Samsung. We are talking about the Samsung LTI460AP01 transparent LCD, where it obviously works differently from regular LCDs in order to get the job done. Standard LCD panels require BLUs (Back Light Units) as a light source so that they are able to display an image, making BLUs an essential part of a LCD panel. As for transparent LCDs, it does away with BLUs but relies on other available light sources instead such as sunlight and in-door lighting. What about when you prefer watching your movies in the dark? Just activate the transparent BLU, and you are good to go.
