'Hobbit' offers more 'sophisticated' Gollum, Peter Jackson says
It's been nine years since the release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", the concluding installment in Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning J.R.R. Tolkien trilogy. In movie terms, that might not seem quite so long ago, but when it comes to the light-speed at which movie-making technology advances, it might as well be a lifetime.

Sharp's first 4K 32-inch IGZO LCD is destined for Japanese workstations
We've been waiting to enjoy the promised extra detail and low power consumption of IGZO-based LCD panels for a few years now, and they're finally starting to appear. The latest on the docket is Sharp's new PN-K321 monitor, built for professional use with 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160) plus HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, and what Sharp claims is the industry's thinnest frame at just 35mm thick. With an expected price of 450,000 yen or so (about $5,500 US) when it debuts in February 2013 it's still too pricey for our desks but if you're doing CAD work you may be able to design a budget it can fit into. We're seeing them in phones, tablets and now monitors overseas, here's hoping we'll see plenty of these high pixel density yet power-sipping panels with US release dates at CES in January.

Spoiler Alert: The Bachelorette's Shocking Finale Twist Revealed!
It?s the most shocking Bachelorette finale ever!
In Touch can exclusively reveal that the man who proposes to Emily Maynard on the season finale, airing on July 22, was not her first choice. ?He won by default,? an insider on the ABC show spills in the new issue of In Touch, on newsstands now.
In fact, the insider reveals that the man who captured Emily?s heart rejected her at the penultimate hour. According to the insider, in an emotional scene filmed for the finale, Emily was enjoying a final date with one of her final two candidates ? race car driver Arie Luyendyk Jr., 30, and entrepreneur Jef Holm, 27 ? when he got a sudden case of cold feet. ?He said, ?I don?t think we know each other nearly enough to even be entertaining this; I don?t think we should get engaged,?? says the insider.
?She was crying and begging him to reconsider,? says the insider, who says she even blurted out, ?You?re the one I want to pick!? Despite this bombshell revelation, and her tearful pleas, Emily?s dream man walked off the show ? and out of her life.
Whether viewers will get to watch this shocking twist play out on air, is still uncertain. But one thing?s for sure; despite being ditched by her dream man, Emily is now happily engaged and living with the other top contender. An insider, who recently spoke with Emily?s fianc�, said, ?He told me, ?We?re gonna get married, and we?re gonna have kids.??
