Toshiba Sends Contractor To My House To Break My TV Even More, Shrugs Chad is getting surgery soon: a spinal fusion. He’d like to be able to lie around and stare at his TV while he recovers from the operation, but his TV isn’t working so well. Audio from the coaxial connection went fuzzy, and now doesn’t work at all. A technician came to repair the TV, which was under warranty, and just went ahead and drilled through the screen. Now Chad is stuck between the service company and Toshiba, and they just keep passing him back and forth. I purchased a Toshiba 47” 3D Led TV in Early 2012. …

Toshiba develops a wirelessly-powered OLED panel

One of the major benefits of using OLED technology is the very low levels of power they require. Toshiba has combined that fact with another technology that’s becoming more popular–wireless power transmission. Typically, we see wireless power used to charge smartphones without the need to plug a cable into them directly. But what Toshiba has done is to integrate the inductive power system into the back of a small OLED panel. The result is a working light that requires no wires. Toshiba decided the best way to show this system off during Lighting Fair 2013 in Tokyo this week was to create an configurable light unit. It takes the form …

Toshiba Best and Worst Notebook Brands 2013 Rating

Reviews (9/20) Last year, Toshiba introduced a number of innovative notebooks. Some systems impressed, such as the ultra-widescreen Satellite U845W, but others fell flat. In all, we reviewed 12 systems, one of which (the $ 599 Satellite P845-S4200) earned an Editors’ Choice award, and eight received ratings of 3.5 or 4 stars. Unfortunately, two of the brand’s notebooks, the U925t and the U845-S402, were awarded just 2.5 stars, which brought down the company’s overall score.  Design (8/15) Ho-hum designs sunk Toshiba’s score in this category to the bottom of the list. While wafer-thin, the Portégé Z935-P300 was just a retread of last year’s Ultrabook with Windows 8 slapped on. And …

Toshiba Excite 10 Review – ComputerShopper.com

Enter the next iteration, the $ 449.99 Excite 10. Here, we’re talking sleek-looking and powerful. Not quite as thin and light as the Excite 10 LE, this revised Excite runs on a quad-core Tegra 3 processor. It comes with both micro-HDMI and mini-USB ports, which we’ve seen on only a select few slates. Plus, the Excite 10 provides an interesting option for massively increasing the storage capacity: It supports full-size SD cards up to 128GB. Most tablets, aside from Acer’s $ 449.99 Iconia Tab A510, which can use 64GB memory cards, have MicroSD card slots that support only 32GB of storage expansion. As you’ll see in the Design section (coming …

Toshiba demos Lytro-style sensor module for smartphone cameras – Crave – Cameras – CNET Asia

Instead of relying on the standard sensor found in other digital imaging devices, Toshiba’s new sensor has microlenses which capture the color, intensity, and vector direction of rays of light, allowing the camera to shoot first without worrying about focus. Measuring a mere 8mm, the new module will be small enough to fit into a smartphone, and can produce 2-megapixel images from its 8-megapixel sensor. The company plans to finalize development of the new sensor module by this year and may roll it out the following year. Lytro has previously suggested it could include its Light Field Technology in smartphone cameras but nothing concrete has been announced. Toshiba’s new sensor …
