e-Ink and e-Paper are fairly old news at this point. If you've had any interaction with an e-reader like the Kindle, then you've experienced e-paper. It's a technology for displays that has no need to backlighting and so is ultra energy efficient. Research has been going in to how to make e-paper colorful and able to display colors fast enough to enable video. But Philips has also been looking in to how to make the technology into something beyond displays. The company has created e-skin, e-paper that is really a skin for devices, or can even be scaled up to be wall paper. Color changing wall paper. Sounds neat - but what's the point of using this green technology for wall paper?

AEROSMITH.......

Aerosmith is an American hard rock band, sometimes referred to as "The Bad Boys from Boston" and "America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band". Their style, which is rooted in blues-based hard rock, has come to also incorporate elements of pop, heavy metal and rhythm and blues, and has inspired many subsequent rock artists. The band was formed in Boston , Massachusetts in 1970. Guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton, originally in a band together called the Jam Band, met up with singer Steven Tyler, drummer Joey Kramer, and guitarist Ray Tabano, and formed Aerosmith. In 1971, Tabano was replaced by Brad Whitford, and the band began developing a following in Boston.

They were signed to Columbia Records in 1972, and released a string of multi-platinum albums, beginning with their 1973 eponymous debut album. In 1975, the band broke into the mainstream with the album Toys in the Attic, and their 1976 follow-up Rocks cemented their status as hard rock superstars. By the end of the 1970s, they were among the most popular hard rock bands in the world and developed a loyal following of fans, often referred to as the "Blue Army". However, drug addiction and internal conflict took their toll on the band, which resulted in the departures of Perry and Whitford, in 1979 and 1981 respectively. They were replaced by Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay. The band did not fare well between 1980 and 1984, releasing a lone album, Rock in a Hard Place, which went gold but failed to match their previous successes.
