[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 516358, member: 259515"] Thursday morning is looking pretty quiet on the tech front, but we still have plenty to keep us interested and a few items that have us scratching our heads. In the decidedly odd category, how about LG Philips’ news that it has created the [URL="http://www.lgphilips-lcd.com/homeContain/jsp/eng/inv/inv101_j_e.jsp?BOARD_IDX=1501&languageSec=E&kinds=IN1"]world’s biggest circular LCD screen[/URL]? The 1.4-inch diameter isn’t all that big, so could end up as the face of watches that can look like anything or as a sub-display in mobile phones perhaps. LG also has a 6-inch elliptical LCD that it suggests might be a good fit for the instrument panel on a car dashboard. [B]XPS lives on[/B] Next, remember we reported on Tuesday that Dell was [URL="http://www.techradar.com/news/world-of-tech/roundup/wakey-wakey-all-the-news-in-30-seconds-365804"]dropping its XPS gaming machines[/URL]? Well, apparently that was a load of hogwash – according to a blogger inside Dell, that is. Said person, Anne Camden, [URL="http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/05/14/dell_not_killing_xps/"]retorted[/URL]: "We are going to expand our focus on Alienware. We are going to invest like crazy in product development, design and engineering to propel Alienware as the premier gaming brand in the future." So there.
