Sharp has always been an innovator in display technology. Clearer images and brighter colors. The Aquos has been a leader in display technology for a while.

Sharp has decided to take this one step further. What they called Quad color pixel, they now mix the standard red — blue — green with a fourth color: yellow. These four colors bring out a lot more of the  picture.

Because of the fourth color, the screen is  naturally brighter. This also helps in saving energy —  the brighter screen takes  less electricity to run. Therefore saving you valuable money by just watching TV.

Jeffrey powers talks with Bruce over this great new technology. Bruce shows Jeffrey up close how the four color pixels really work. By looking through a microscope we see the four color pixel in action. This is a demonstration you will be able to do at your local retailer very soon.

After Apple ’s release of iPhone 3G, people were noticing connectiviy issues. This was due to the Infineon chip within (the chip that governs the 3G). It would ultimately cause the cutout. Apple quietly tried to resolve the matter, but eventually they had to just simply let people know what is going on. Steve Jobs sent out a letter saying “I’m sorry” and announcing how they are going to fix the problem.

For the last year and a half, the Quickcast has been running a podcast every Monday reviewing the past history of Technology. The show has been a fun one, but for the last couple months I felt it needs it’s own space. Therefore, WITH will be spinning off into the Day in Tech History – a Daily look at the Historical events in Technology.

WITH will continue on. For the first couple weeks, we will continue with the same format. Afterwards, WITH will take a new shape, highlighting one historical event and how it plays on events today. It should be a new, powerfully informative look in the IT industry.

Information for this weeks’ WITH:

• Smithsonian is established
• Netscape Lawyers send a letter about Microsoft anticompetitive nature
• Twitter’s “2000″ ceiling
• Apple Fire at Building #6
• Atari Files Lawsuit against Amiga
• Netflix 3 day outtage

On March 31st, Kaminsky – along with 16 other developers – gathered at Microsoft to work on a massive patch and synchronize the release so all details could be released as well. Today was the day that patch was released. Microsoft also released patch MS08-037 on the Windows side to counter the issues. Cisco, Sun and BIND fixes would come out shortly after.
