Scientists Create the First Super-duper "Pure White LED"
The American Chemical Society is claiming that the "holy grail" of the LED world has been reached. A pair of Indian Scientists have created a pure white LED. No longer will we have to suffer with odd blue- or yellow-like white LED's. The method used to achieve the white color was so blatantly obvious, they used "phosphors made from semiconductor nanocrystals of cadmium sulfide mixed with manganese." The scientific duo is currently attempting to raise its production consistency so that it can be brought to the masses. [Physorg via ACS]

False alarm. The Blue Zune we showed you in the Target ad isn't actually a Blue Zune, it's a Black Zune that just looks blue thanks to the crappy image. The black one does actually look slightly blue when you look at it (the doubleshot is blue), so we can see where the confusion comes from. But still, the image was REALLY blue. [Zune Online]
Rumor Smashed: Blue Zune Not Blue Zune

Next week's Target ad shows both a $199 price cut in the Microsoft Zune player—something we've covered before—and a brand new Blue Zune. We haven't seen this anywhere yet, but it looks like it's blue with light blue doubleshotting, and will be the same $199 that all the other Zunes are priced at. If Target's going to start getting Zune scoops, we're going to have to start teaming up with Martha Stewart and selling crocheted underpants. [Electronista]

Sony's Blue Laser Diodes Down to $8 - PS3 and BD Player Price Cuts Soon?
Good news for Blu-ray fans. Sony's just announced that they're ramping up blue laser diode production yet again, which will lower the price to just around $8 each by June. What will this mean to you? Well, seeing as the diodes were the reason for the PS3 shortages this fall (and contributed to both the PlayStation's and Blu-ray players' high prices), this huge windfall of diodes could mean lowered prices for all Blu-ray related items.

Giant Big Ben Blue LED Clock
We love our clocks around these parts and this is a good one. It's giant, it's digital and it's blue, which is all you really need. The interesting fact is that the clock reads 4:20 in the product photo, which is commonly associated with an alternate hobby. I've personally never dabbled, but does this hobby possibly hinder vision? If so, pick up this clock and always know when Taco Bell is closing and when the cartoons are beginning. $120. More »

Sizemodo: LG BH100 Super Multi Blue Actually Smaller Than Standalones
How is this possible? How does LG's Blu-ray/HD DVD player end up being smaller than the cheapest HD DVD and Blu-ray player? Apparently by skimping on the HD features, though we don't imagine that'd add any noticible size to the device. More »

IUBI Blue PMP Updated: Bigger Disk, Lower Price
We already liked the IUBI Blue personal media player when our main man Travis took a look at it in June, but now the dang thing's got twice as much disk space at 60GB and it costs $433, $17 less than its predecessor. Plus it plays just about every video and audio format you can imagine. More »
