. The company was said to focus on cloud and user experience, leveraging webOS and Enyo along the way. Nothing new has come out about how exactly they're going to do that or when that's going to start happening - that's what happens when you're in stealth mode (which one could easily argue is in effect an admission that there's nothing more than grand plans to announce right now anyway).

We wondered for a short time what URL Gram might secure, as sites like gram.com and gram.net registered as available, but thanks to their actual-word nature would have commanded a high price. So HP turned to Armenia, and shortly thereafter having it merely redirect to the Open webOS project site. That recently changed, however, with gr.am now displaying the looping curvy three-quarters-of-a-butterfly Gram logo on a white background. Nothing else. No links to anywhere, nothing commented out in the code. Nothing.

Stealth mode is serious business, it would seem.

      Kinetic LED signage has transformed how viewers interact with content, emerging as a new method of visual storytelling. Recent technological advancements have forged the way for the brilliance of traditional LEDs to come together with kinetic art technology, creating three-dimensional (3D) displays that exude vibrant colors and dynamic sounds for an enhanced visual experience.

      Kinetic LED signage has become a standout choice for artistic exhibits in public spaces, adding dynamic movement to museums, hotel lobbies and galleries. By displaying animated patterns that seem to emerge from the screen, this innovative signage solution adds a sense of realism to the space that conventional displays cannot replicate. When combined with vivid colors and sound effects, it seamlessly integrates into a wide array of spaces, effectively showcasing diverse content from compelling advertisements to stunning works of art.

      The Sangsang Platform, a cultural complex in South Korea remodeled from an old granary to host various cultural activities, features the gigantic LG Kinetic LED façade as a breathtaking centerpiece. In addition to mesmerizing visitors, the signage solution heightens the ambiance and effectively modernizes the space with dazzling media art displays. Renowned for its size and cutting-edge technology, the LG Kinetic LED signage immerses audiences with its dynamic presence.

      Measuring a massive 3 meters wide by 5 meters long and powered by 240 engine motors, images in the LG Kinetic LED signage come alive in vivid detail with the support of High Dynamic Range (HDR). By synchronizing with 240 LED modules that move delicately back and forth up to 300mm, HDR defies the challenges of traditional flat signage to create 3D content, enhancing the sense of immersion and transforming kinetic motion into a work of art. In addition, with customized digital media and sound, the signage delivers realistic audio and motion for an unforgettable sensory experience.

      From lobbies to shopping malls to public squares, the LG kinetic LED signage creates an impactful visual effect in indoor spaces. This Kinetic LED as a media platform can maximize the impact of advertising by effectively capturing people’s attention. What’s more, LG Kinetic LED signage offers a bundled software package for buyers, enabling easy application of kinetic motion utilities and eliminating concerns about implementing additional art technology services.

      The dynamic media façade of the LG Kinetic LED signage is set to mesmerize viewers and satisfy stakeholders alike, demonstrating LG’s commitment to delivering total service that includes space design, installation and post-management of the LED signage, all of which elevate the customer experience and optimize operational efficiency.

      Across the world, the workplace has been undergoing a major transformation with more and more professionals choosing to work remotely each passing year. In 2020, before the onset of the global pandemic, 13 percent of the entire workforce worked from home. In 2023, that number had risen to a remarkable 27 percent, leading to the laptop market’s steady growth and an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0 percent in 2024. Laptop consumption is expected to continue on this strong trajectory in the coming years.*

      To reinforce its foothold in this vital market, LG Taiwan recently held the LG gram 2024 Series Launch Event at Zhuori Coffee Shop in Taipei. The event, which was presented in the form of a light teatime talk session, invited journalists and editors, especially those who contribute to media platforms frequented by digital creators, business professionals and freelancers – the people who stand to benefit the most from the gram’s unparalleled versatility to the unique showcase.

      The event showcased two key areas: the LG gram highlight zone and the demonstration zone, where the spotlight shone on the key features of the 2024 lineup. Among them were the powerful gram Link, seamlessly integrated AI capabilities, energy-efficient performance and meticulously crafted lightweight designs, all tailored to elevate communication across diverse scenarios. Boasting a harmonious blend of power and portability, the LG gram series’ ultra-lightweight laptops combine high-end specifications with exceptionally slim yet durable designs and all-day battery life.

      Guests were able to experience each laptop from the latest gram series, including LG gram, LG gram Pro, LG gram Pro 2-in-1 and LG gram Super Slim. The event was designed to allow them to immerse themselves fully in the exceptional usability of the product while receiving detailed explanations in person. What impressed them the most were the laptops’ outstanding portability, sleek styling and premium performance.

      The devices on display left a lasting impression through their slim and lightweight designs, two aspects that have become synonymous with the LG gram brand. The hands-on experience with the touch display and Stylus pen of the LG gram Pro 2-in-1 convertible laptop, as well as features like LG gram Link and LG Glance by Mira-metrix, were particularly well received by event-goers.

      It was the perfect opportunity to reveal something LG Taiwan has been working on for some time – a collaboration with ‘boven Magazine Library,’ the only magazine library in Taiwan, to launch the “LG gram x boven Pop-up Store” which will run from April to June this year. As part of this joining of forces, limited edition collaborative gifts will be given out at boven Magazine Library branches in Taipei and Tainan, where visitors can also witness the latest LG gram offerings.

      just like with PWA. Just a link to the website. This would be a huge upgrade since navigating to websites is painful, typing. And it would be easy to implement. How do I submit this as a feature request to LG TV OS?
