Reminds of one of Ari Gold's funniest lines on Entourage...

"You all have one goal today - to get Vincent Chase's brother, Johnny Chase a job - ANY job. I don't care if it's a porn shoot where he is being gang raped by a gaggle of silverback apes, if there are cameras rolling, everyone wins"]]>Dec 23rd 2008 4:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/Dec 23rd 2008 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/Dec 23rd 2008 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/Dec 23rd 2008 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/Dec 23rd 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/Dec 23rd 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/
2. Where, exactly, was I being critical of UF? Sounds like someone is jumping the gun a bit in their defense.]]>Dec 23rd 2008 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/
I'd say he jumped the gun, but that's florida for you. However, when you finally do get your degree, it needs to be from a real university. Bullshit aside, it makes your education well rounded, and where you went to school can open tons of doors. For instance, I attended Cal and UTA, if I told people UTA, they'd say, 'where the hell is that?,' even though it's one of the best computer science schools in the country. Everyone on earth knows where Berkeley stands, even if the majority of its students are liberal arts majors, and that is a terrible part of the school.

It's stupidity and arrogance, but that's how most people are, and you have to beat the system at its own game.]]>Dec 24th 2008 2:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/

I guess I don't know that much about OLEDs. Do more efficient ones last longer? How are the two connected?]]>Dec 23rd 2008 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/One thing I don't get in the press release is that the author says that OLEDs are tunable, which is not true. You need different epimaterial to get different color of OLEDs, so making a multicolor display requires different kinds of OLEDs. This option is still feasible but the statement is misleading.]]>Dec 24th 2008 2:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/But perhaps they can bill it as 'testing the reader's alertness'.

More efficient = more light at the same current

OLEDs are already bright enough for you, so to get the same amount of light, drive them at less current

Less current = less heat

Less heat = longer life

So yes, you can get longer life at the same brightness out of more efficient LEDs (and OLEDs)]]>Dec 24th 2008 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/Dec 23rd 2008 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/Dec 24th 2008 4:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/Dec 24th 2008 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/23/researchers-achieve-new-efficiency-record-of-blue-oleds/

I had the same idea about energy saving lightbulbs too, since they get to full brightness so slow put in a halogen or something backup light that turns off after the energy-saving one got full brightness, a hybrid light.
