“El Secret de Mateo” (Matthew's Secret) is a heart-warming short film produced by Greg Fay for the Philips Cinema Project. In the film, a boy leads a young girl, who appears to be blind, up into a building in a housing project to show her his secret. The girl is introduced to a donkey, which the boy tells her is a unicorn. The young girl is filled with fulfillment and delight, as she feels the magic of the moment in a life that has offered her so little. However, the joy is short lived, as we are shown the difficulties of growing up when a group of bullies taunt the pair. The boy stands up for his younger friend, but afterward it all seems too much as the brave boy is left to cry quietly in the corner. Unaware of her friend’s pain, the little girl turns her attention once again to the beauty of the animal.
“El Secreto de Mateo” leaves the viewer emotionally speechless with the feeling of both happiness and sorrow.
This piece includes colorful photographs, as well as the remarkable short film.

A couple of years ago mood lights were all the rage and Philips released a very good one (that I own)
Since then they have developed this technology and come up with thier latest gadget, a mood bracelet:
"For a high-tech mood ring that can be worn as a bracelet, look no further than the Philips Rationalizer. This device offers a mirror of emotion "to warn you that it might be good to take a breather and calm down.
"A clever and surprisingly simple idea -- flashiness aside, it looks like it's just primary motivation is pulse detection.""A couple of years ago mood lights were all the rage and Philips released a very good... more

It's not every day that someone attempts to redesign the humble laptop cushion, but Philips has done just that with its new CushionSpeaker which, somehow, someway manages to combine a cushion and a speaker. As our pals at Engadget Spanish found out first-hand at IFA, that combination actually delivers mostly as promised, but not without a few trade-offs.
The good news is that speaker does seem to be of reasonable quality, and should be an improvement over most laptop speakers (the retractable USB cord is also a nice touch). On the downside, while the cushion is apparently suitably cushiony, the hard plastic surface isn't exactly the most conductive to keeping your laptop in place -- such are the perils of innovation. Hit up the link below for a closer look, and look for the CushionSpeaker to be available sometime soon (in Europe, at least) for €69, or just under $100.It's not every day that someone attempts to redesign the humble laptop cushion,... more

What better to complement your new trippy, edge-glowing Philips 3rd gen Aurea HDTV than an egg-shaped remote? Our friends at Engaget Spanish hunted down the controller and walked away impressed at its build construction and design -- but not before capturing numerous pictures and footage, of course. There was some concern with the rigidity of the buttons, but nothing worth squabbling over on this bundled device.

Which is why one upcoming television has really caught our eye: The Philips Cinema 21:9.We love HDTV not only because the picture is superior to the old fashion television... more

Back in April, Philips announced plans to hand over its television promotion, sales and manufacturing to Funai. Now the company has expanded those plans to what sounds like all of their home theater products, including DVD players, Blu-ray players and surround sound equipment. Oh, you'll still see Philips DVD players for sure, but it won't really be Philips. So have a good time dropping that little factoid to your favorite, know-it-all salesperson next time they gush about the Philips brand name.Back in April, Philips announced plans to hand over its television promotion, sales... more
