Back in the day of video game benchmarks and goals being measured in “bits”, a true racing sim involved at most a monstrous TV, racing sim of choice, and a comfy chair. Thankfully we’ve made some decent progress since those days. Today’s racing sim geek generally has multiple monitors, racing “seat” that is actually a cage more or less, replicating the interior of a real car, and of course steering wheel and pedals.

The iPod by far has the largest selection of accessories of any major gadget. Anything from simple silicon cases to little “iPad Beanbag chairs” show that the whole accessory market has gotten out of control.

LG: we introduce to you the Serie 1, a 4:3 “retro-TV” complete with big boxy design and cathrode-ray tube picture that is also very “3D”. Uh-oh. Has LG lost their minds? No, not really.
