Hungry for a hot lunch at your desk every Monday through Friday, but don’t want to stand in line for the microwave? The USB-powered heated lunch bag is probably something you’ll want to look into, then. It apparently keeps your food at a steamy 140 degrees Farenheit all day, though it gives us pause that we’re warned to
“make sure the plastic container that you store your food in is of a certain grade and quality” to ensure that there’s not “an adverse chemical reaction,” but we figure that’s probably a minor concern. We don’t know if the bag will ever be available in the US, but we have a feeling that if it is, it’ll be at least double the size of the current iteration.

HP broke some considerable new ground by creating the very first “memristor”
earlier this year, but it looks like it didn’t rest on its laurels for very long, as it has now also taken the wraps off the first hybrid memristor-transistor chip at (where else?) the inaugural Memristor and Memristor Systems Symposium. According to the researchers at HP Labs, the memristors are able to do the job of the transistors they replace more efficiently, letting you use less of them when space is a priority, or the same amount or, conceivably, more of ‘em to get some increased performance, which the researchers say could “give Moore’s Law a boost.” As if that wasn’t enough, the researchers also say that memristors could also allow for faster, smaller, and more energy-efficient flash storage, and allow for field-programmable gate array (or FPGAs) that are not only more efficient, but considerably less expensive as well. Of course, there’s plenty more experimenting that needs to be done, but HP says that the first commercial circuits using memristors could arrive within the next three years.

Hitachi‘s latest trifecta wasn’t designed for your surely swank abode per se, but we suppose those with enough cash and willpower can do anything they darn well please. That said, the CP-X10000 (1,024 x 768), CP-WX11000 (1,280 x 800) and CP-SX12000 (1,400 x 1,050) can all handle professional (read: lit) settings with ease, featuring 7,500 / 6,500 / 7,000 lumens, respectively. The whole lot also boasts a 2,500:1 contrast ratio, 10-bit signal processor, HDMI / BNC connectors, Ethernet, an RS-232 control port and a lamp good for 10,000 maintenance-free hours. Mum’s the word on price, but don’t worry, these are going on the corporate card anyway.
