John --
I'm writing to suggest a timely tech story for Video Technology Magazine: How anyone can put $4.2 billion dollars worth of art in their TV using Google Chromecast.
High-end art used to be just for the rich and famous -- something to appreciate at The Louvre or purchased at Sotheby's.
But now Google Chromecast is making billions of dollars worth of art available to everyone; Much of the world's greatest art has just become available for free so that anyone, anywhere, can stream it direct to their TV, using Artkick [www.artkick.com] -- a free app that turns home TV's into a digital frame for world-class art.
Now a billionaire's collection of visual masterpieces are available for display in your home today, including:
* $1,000,000,000: 'Mona Lisa' by Leonardo da Vinci
* $269,400,000: 'The Card Players' by Paul Cezanne
* $200,000,000: 'The Concert' by Johannes Vermeer
* $200,000,000: 'The Wedding Dance' by Pieter Bruegel the Elder
* $155,800,000: 'Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I' by Gustav Klimt
* $150,000,000: 'Self-Portrait (with straw hat)' by Vincent van Gogh
* $141,500,000: 'Bal du Moulin de la Galette' by Pierre-Auguste Renoir
* $122,200,000: 'The Scream' by Edvard Munch
* $109,400,000: 'Irises' by Vincent van Gogh
* $99,700,000: 'Massacre of the Innocents' by Peter Paul Rubens
* $90,000,000: 'The Visitation' by Rembrandt
* $87,500,000: 'Le Mont Sainte-Victoire vu des Lauves' by Paul Cezanne
* $86,200,000: 'Water Lily Pond' by Claude Monet
* $85,000,000: 'Still Life, Drapery, Pitcher and Fruit Bowl' by Paul Cezanne
For the complete list of 32 paintings worth $4.2 billion, just let me know and I can email it over right away. To display this grand collection of art on any TV, simply download the Artkick app [www.artkick.com] and choose the "Most Valuable Paintings" view list.
I'm also happy to arrange an interview on this Chromecast topic with Artkick CEO Sheldon Laube (the former Chief Innovation Officer of PriceWaterhouseCoopers). He is available for in-person (San Francisco or New York), phone, or Skype interviews from March 10 - 14.
Thanks,
Ann

Texas Instruments shrinks its HD DLP Pico projector chip down to 0.3-inches
http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/23/texas-instruments-hd-dlp-pico-projector/
We wouldn't say that smartphone projectors have exactly caught fire, Samsung'sGalaxy Beam notwithstanding. Part of the problem is the extra bulk required by pico projector components, which is where Texas Instruments comes in with its new HD "Tilt and Roll" DLP Pico chipset. They've now got the size down to about 0.3-inches, or about the size of a pencil-tip as shown above. That should let makers of tablets, smartphones and wearables add 120 Hz projector powers to their devices. It's also the chip used in Avegant's Glyph VR headset -- so it might be beaming a movie directly to your retinas at some point in the future.
