ViewSonic PJD6381 3D projector

The ViewSonic PJD6381 3D projector is a good example of a product whose designers haven't quite thought things through.

Seven's dream to turn vivid nightmare?

Australia definitely loves its wireless broadband — but as Seven firms up plans to deploy high-speed WiMax wireless services this year under its vividwireless brand, the big question is whether the geographically-limited service can become relevant in an already crowded wireless landscape.
