This past Tuesday marked the debut of a new reality talent competition called "The Voice". Did you see the debut show on your Harbor Green TV lift cabinet?  The Mark Burnett produced show has established singers perform a blind audition in front of four celebrity coaches – Christina Aguilera, Cee-Lo Green, Adam Levine of Maroon 5 and Blake Shelton. These blind auditions are conducted with the coaches’ backs to the contestant. They are then judged solely on their voice, not their appearance. The coaches pick contestants they would like to mentor, often leading to fights between coaches. The idea is to mentor their picks until the end where the last contestant standing will receive a $100,000 recording contract with Universal.

When the show goes live in several weeks, viewers will have a chance to vote for contestants they would like to “save” for the next round. Unlike "American Idol", "The Voice" does not judge and vote contestants off the show, the coaches mentor artists who already

While many design trends come and go, one constant has been the popularity of Asian inspired design. Identifiable by its clean lines and natural elements, Asian influences not only create a stylish room but also inspire relaxation and a feeling of zen. Fortunately, TV lift cabinets can fit perfectly into Asian décor when you pick the right design. The Tao TV lift cabinet and the Hideaway TV lift cabinet are both available in a formal black finish or a more natural brown finish. Here are some tips to achieve the Asian inspired look you’ve been imagining:

• Minimalism is key – try neutral colors on the walls and bold colors on fabrics and other accent pieces
• Keep the lighting subdued and diffused. Rice paper lamps and Chinese paper lanterns are great for this effect
• Bring nature inside – rock gardens, bamboo and bonsai trees, tabletop fountains, cherry blossoms or orchids work great
• Clean lines and furniture low to the ground keep with the Asian theme and minimalist approach. Also, avoid clutter!

Recently, 3D technology has exploded on the big screen. It was only a matter of time until TV followed suit. The advances being made in 3D imagery are ever-evolving.  However the idea of watching programs on a 3D TV mounted in a TV lift cabinet may not appeal to everyone.

Reports from the Consumer Electronics Show highlight different forms of 3D entertainment that are in the early stages of development. Some systems require the consumer to sport 3D glasses similar to what you would wear to view a 3D Movie. Sometimes the glasses are more advanced and take on an appearance similar to a virtual reality head set.  The most intriguing technology in my opinion was a Sony television that alternated images hundreds of times per second to send different pictures to each eye – no glasses required! Imagine that in your TV lift cabinet! How far away this technology is from being commonplace is debatable. The introduction of new technology is further complicated by studies showing that consumers

Nearly 50 3D movies are expected to hit US theaters this year, making the US the number one provider of 3D entertainment. Although many will be watching these 3D masterpieces at home in front of their TV lift cabinets, with their own pair of stylish 3D glasses, theater owners have long been looking for a way to offer their customers the same quality and comfort as an at-home viewing, without investing too heavily in thousands of disposable 3D glasses. The answer, now, is Xpand, a leader in active 3D technologies for home, cinema and education.

Xpand just released its award-winning, cinema-grade X101 3D glasses, and now cinema owners can provide top-quality reusable 3D glasses without breaking the bank. Each pair runs around $35 and can be used comfortably for up to 5,000 shows. The glasses’ viewing angles have been optimized, so patrons can sit wherever they wish in the theater and enjoy a clear 3D image. Hot spots, usually created by 2D movie presentations will no longer interrupt 3D

With today’s portability of electronics, people may be trading in their office chairs and desks for more comfortable surroundings more frequently. Perhaps in the traditional popularity of over-stuffed chairs and couches in coffeeshops, people who use their laptops at home are opting for the comforts of their own living room seating, at least enough are to warrant Logitech’s creation of the first Couch Mouse M515, which is completely optimized for soft surfaces, such as couches, beds or carpets. Now you can immediately go from watching your favorite movie on your flat-screen TV in front of your TV lift cabinet to pulling out your laptop and surfing the Internet without being bound to use the small, awkward finger pad present on most laptops. Logitech has made it possible to surf, shop and socialize with ease.

Now if you’re a real traditionalist and don’t like the idea of burning through batteries to have a wireless device, Logitech claims that the mouse will run for two years before needing

The big buzz already this year in the world of game shows was not figuring out who was smarter than a middle-schooler, or which shiny briefcase held the most money, or even which contestant could look the silliest running, jumping and falling over an obstacle course. No, the real buzz was summed up in one word, “Watson”. And if you happened to catch an episode of Jeopardy! in front of your TV lift cabinet during February 14-16, you saw an IBM-built, artificial intelligence computer system capable of answering questions (in the form of a question) posed in natural human language.

Beyond what IBM’s Deep Blue did in 1997 to trounce world chess champion, Garry Kasparov, in a game with finite possibilities (as staggering as those possibilities were), Watson was able to process nuances in human language, calculate possible meanings, rank itself on how confident it was in his answer and buzz in – all in less than three seconds.

IBM and Jeopardy! producers joined together to pit Watson against
