Networking researchers have used LED lighting to distribute Full HD movies to notebooks, smartphones and other devices, in a system that could join WiFi and PowerLine networks in shuttling high-speed data around the home and office. The optical WLAN co-opts white LEDs used for regular illumination to transmit data at up to 100 Mbit/s, by flickering it more rapidly than the human eye can see.

Apple’s Revamped LED Cinema Displays With Thunderbolt Coming Soon
Rumors for an upcoming MacBook Air revamp alongside Mac OS X Lion are so prominent that we've pretty much accepted their launch next week as fact. However, other rumors on upcoming Mac Pro, Mac Mini, and even a revamped white MacBook keep flip flopping.

Switch Lighting LED light bulb is cheap and makes light just like incandescent
I am all for moving away from the normal incandescent bulbs almost all of us use today to a more efficient and longer lasting alternative like CFL or LED lighting. The problem is that the incandescent bulb is dirt cheap; you can buy a box of four for a few dollars. The CLF bulbs are more expensive with one selling for a couple times that price and the LED bulbs today are even more costly with each bulb selling in the $40 to $50 range.

Vizio hops into LED lighting industry
I would wager most readers are familiar with the Vizio brand. The company has a great line of HDTVs that are the best selling in the US market thanks to the performance and the price of the sets. The company will also soon get into the Android tablet market with a new offering that sounds very nice for the price. Vizio is also now looking to get into a new market to make use of its LED prowess and I hope that it can bring the same low price and quality to this new market.

Eyeshadow of the future uses LEDs not makeup
I admit that Ii have never understood makeup. I can get that women wear the stuff to make them look better (so they think) and cover up things on the face like blemishes. The part I have never understood is why some women wear makeup that is in weird colors or is plastered on their face. To each their own, I guess. I once knew a woman that had her makeup tattooed on her face so she would wake up ready to go. Geeky women or anyone else that likes eyeshadow and raves will appreciate this LED eyeshadow.

Our Gigantic Aire LED Black Monitor Contest WINNER!
I have a story to tell you about this monitor. It involves the end of the world, what that ended up being, and how we forged the wilderness for you to have this monitor, oh you winner. It all happened about a week ago when the tides were coming in, our hair was feeling crunchy, and it was time to wake up from a 30 minute binge sleep (the longest any of us are allowed to keep our eyes closed, of course.) We woke up, and there it was, a big hole in the wall where the monitor should be – avast! Said we, pirates on the loose! Therefor we had to take action. This is not a choose your own adventure but it DOES have one happy ending – continue on, crime stoppers!
The Daily Slash: May 2nd, 2011

First, win an Aire LED Black Monitor - then grab yourself a Qualcomm/BSQUARE Mobile Development Platform aka a bad mother with a Snapdragon MSM8660 1.5GHz asynchronous dual-core CPU and Adreno 220 - finally we've got ONE MORE Motorola XOOM to give away - lucky you!
