LG's E90 monitor slims down to 7.3mm thickness by stuffing everything into its excessively glossy base

LG's just announced a new desktop visualizer for us all and it looks a promising proposition with its stupendously thin 7.3mm profile and minimal bezels surrounding the screen. But wait, it can't be all good news and it's not, as LG's also decided to apply an ultra-glossy finish to the E90, which should easily neutralize any understated appeal it might otherwise have had.

Intel Makes WiMax Investment With South Korea's KT

Intel and South Korea's KT Corporation plan to work together to expand WiBro (Wireless Broadband) Internet service to several new areas of South Korea and and have worked to make the network compatible with mobile WiMax.

WiBro was developed by South Korea's telecommunications industry to make a flavor of WiMax that could better work with mobile devices. The technology is very similar to mobile Wimax but uses an 8.75MHz wide channel compared to a 10MHz wide channel on mobile WiMax. That's presented a barrier to roaming but WiBro is now compatible with 10MHz WiMax.

Intel Capital will invest US$20 million in WiBro Infra Co., a joint venture with KT, Samsung Electronics and KB Investment Company, as part of the deal. Intel and KT, which was formerly called Korea Telecom, are also collaborating to launch laptops and netbooks with Intel processors and WiMax chips in South Korea, the companies said in a joint statement.
