    IÂ’m in the market for a new fancy big TV

    I think if you're sitting right in front of a plasma, then yes, it will be blurry. I'm talking about when,m for example, you're gaming, most LCDs have a motion blur which can make you feel sick. DLPs, on the other hand, can be viewed at and distance with excellent visual quality, and don't have...

    IÂ’m in the market for a new fancy big TV

    Yeah, I'd have to vote for a DLP most of the time. Assuming you're not packing up and moving every few minutes, 'cause any kind of projection TV will not be as easy to move as a plasma/LCD/whatever, or if you watch TV under halogen spotlights (in which case you're probably going to want to go...

    Does Sex Sell?

    Does anyone here think Sex Sells? I watch the Paris Hilton Hamburger commercial and it doesnÂ’t really want me to buy a burger, but I do enjoy the commercial. Do I go to Carls Jr. No. Somethings work. I have taken a shot at a bar because the waitress was really good looking and dress to kill...

    1TB Disks This Year?

    Well basically what I'm refering to is the idea that, say, you like to listen to music. And you have something like iTunes, and you've paid for a crapload of it. You don't have to store it all locally, because with Internet speeds that are fast enough, you could instantaniously download whatever...

    1TB Disks This Year?

    Acctually, if internet connection speeds get high enough, it may become the fashion to store everything remotely, in massive central databases, and get at everything over our terrabit connections. Wouldn't THAT be neat? Then, in theory , you wouldn't need to have huge local data drives, you...

    T9

    I have done so and I'm now very happy with it. It makes early-morning texting intelegible. Well, mostly. =P I'm still confused about the "It's a waste of money" bit... Whassat? Nuke?

    T9

    Wait, it's a waste of money? What's a waste of money? T9 is free, and if you believe that "time is money", then it's acctually saving you money over standard texting. =P

    1TB Disks This Year?

    I have a rig with 3 160GB drives and an 8GB system drive. The system drive is 1/2 full, and the 160GBs are at 40-60% each. And I plan to fill them completely, get a RAID 5 card, and have a bank of 360GBs, or something...=P

    T9

    So, in short: Is T9 worth learning and using? The long version: No wait, I'm feeling a bit too lazy for that... The medium version: So I have a phone, and I send a lot of text messages with it. I especially use them to get information from google (using google SMS), and for communicating with...

    Mainstream viral advertising.

    Probably, but the iPod is mostly spread through mainstream advertising. It seems like anywhere you turn you see another iPod ad on TV or the side of a bus or plastered onto the side of a building... They haven't taken the "Here's a guy making videos on the internet, isn't he funny!?!?" line of...

    Mainstream viral advertising.

    When you see the subject you think"Ah, an oxymoron!" That's what I thought too, when I first heard of the idea. But it's what Dell is trying to do with this site. Usually, marketing is obvious, and put on TV. The general message, as you're all probably aware is "SEXSEXSEXBUYOURPRODUCTSEXSEXSEX"...

    PSP vs ipod

    A Sandisk 1GB memory stick is like $140, and apparently they're really great. (http://www.gamerz-edge.com/psp/reviews/sandisk1gb.html), and it's a piece of cake to copy your DVDs to PSP using x-copy9(www.psptransfer.com), etc. So with that in mind, you can watch DVDs on your PSP, or whatever...

    Computer restarts

    Power Supply! Then again, surffing the net shouldn't be *too* processor intensive... but still. Go into your BIOS screen and have a look at the "hardware monitor". If your CPU is getting over 70C, or your voltqages are unsteady, it could be causing a reboot.

    1TB Disks This Year?

    Really? Dude! Link! All I can find are 500GB drives. =( HVD looks neat, I read about it in Scientific American like 4 years ago as a hypothetical possibility, and though "Oh, that's neat, I wonder if they'll ever do it...", and then I promptly forgot all about it. -CC
