Have you ever wondered if it was possible for your daily news paper to be like a small television like The Daily Prophet(a newspaper) from the famous Harry potter movies with scrolling text moving pictures and videos. You would probably say such newspapers are surely a ting of fantasy or would easily take 10-20 more years to become a reality but not according to BBC News. According to them Harry Potter style newspapers and newspaper ads will soon become a thing of the past. Appearing for the first time in the September 18th editions of Entertainment Weekly(a popular paper magazine) in Los Angeles and New York, slim-line screens will be embedded into the printed pages to offer video in these paper magazines making the content life like and moving similar to the Harry potter movies. The chips that store the video (up to 40 minutes worth and rechargeable via miniUSB) are activated upon a page turn and are very similar to the technology used in the singing greeting cards and the fold-able and flexible video screen uses the native liquid crystal display(LCD) technology found in your TV-sets and computer monitors. The first units will display advertisements from Pepsi and CBS, and are expected to revolutionize magazine advertisement but will take some more time to make an appearance in your daily newspapers.

1. Danny Carey- Without doubt one of the best drummers around. With an amazing sense of odd time signatures and a knack of utilizing the entire drum kit in every song. His ability to play jazz grooves on rock songs is the key behind his odd time signatures. He has been playing with the band Tool for over a decade.
