    iLife '08: Impressions & Discussion

    Aaron, that's the best integration of an iWeb site and a web gallery that I've seen so far and some really nice pictures. I was excited when I first saw the web galleries but it missed the mark in a few key areas. The web gallery itself gives the user no control over look and feel, no layout...

    Wireless audio from PC to stereo receiver 12' away?

    Have you taken a look at the upcoming Linksys WMB54G Wireless-G Music Bridge (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...Fencoding=UTF8)? It looks promising assuming you want to control your audio using the PC. This combined with a good RF remote could be what I've been waiting for myself. Jeff

    Plasma TV choice for 42"-50"?

    Bill, I think you are right about JVC using Panasonic glass...my mistake. I just checked their specs and the contrast ratio they have listed is the same as the coorosponding Panasonic. The 42 and 50 XBR950 use the NEC glass...I think a few other companies do as well (Marantz and Loewe are...

    Plasma TV choice for 42"-50"?

    I just recently purchased a Plasma and I spent a ton of time researching. For me this represents a huge investment so keeping buyers remorse to a minimum was a must have requirement. I spent a lot of time looking at the Panny ED and HD and for me the decision to go HD was pretty easy...

    Apple iTunes is a hit!

    Apple iTunes is a hit!

    Hello, While I agree that paying $10 for 10 great songs is better then spending $15 for 2 or 3, I don't find this to be the case with most of the albums that I buy. Perhaps I’m just picky. At close to $1 per song I still don't see the value or the cost savings. Why pay the same...

    Have Plasma's caught up?

    Hello, I agree that plasmas are very expensive but I think they offer the best picture quality of any display device available today. I've been looking at a lot of displays lately and I cannot find anything that looks better then a properly configured Panasonic 42" plasma...HD or ED. I can't...

    Verify My Computer Build

    Hello, I'm thinking of a upgrading and am going through similar purchasing decisions. From all the reviews that I have read (Tom's Hardware, anandtech.com etc.) you will increase system performance if you match the 333 FSB processor with 333 MHz RAM. 400 MHz consistently performs slower in...

    Need help with my digital camera...

    Hello, Camera Settings - Use the highest resolution (1600x1200) and lowest compression setting (super fine) that you can afford to use given the number of photos you want to take and the size of your compact flash card. Buy a bigger compact flash card if you need to...in the long run this is...

    Suggestions needed for Seattle hotel

    Brian, I've lived in the city for a little over five years and have stayed at a handful of hotels. All these recommendations are great. Stay at the W if you want to experience one of the 'hippest' hotels in the city. The Hotel Vintage Park is very popular with the theater crowd and the...

    How can people not wash their hands?

    Hello, Washing your hands after going to the bathroom is less about the germs in the bathroom and more a matter of opportunity. We come into contact with some nasty germs all day long and the scum on our keyboards is just as dirty as the scum around a toilet. Given that most people will...

    Looking for information on how to write a kick butt resume

    Hello, Monster.com has a great summary of how to write an effective resume at http://resume.monster.com/. When I was laid off in November I sat down with the HR department and went over my resume with a fine tooth comb. They made some suggestions that proved very helpful. My response rate...

    Thanks for all the great memories in Dallas, Emmitt Smith.....

    I've never been a fan of the Cowboys as a franchise (I'm originally from Virginia...it's against the law) but I have always respected Emmitt Smith for both his athletic ability and attitude on the field. His decision to retire or not should be made based on his own desire to keep playing...

    Which digital camera should I get and why...

    I have been doing a lot of research on digital cameras and I have decided on the Canon S45. My wife and I have several SLRs and are considering buying a digital SLR in the near future. I want the S45 so that I can always have a camera on me. I will very rarely print the images I get from the...

    Win 98 or ME or XP

    I recently upgraded my wife's computer from 98 to XP and she loves it. I have been using XP Pro on my home machine since it came out and I have always had very good luck. With 98 her machine was crashing at least twice a day and with XP those crashes are gone. The machine is an older PII 400...

    Any hot sauce fan here?

    I am a huge fan of hot sauces and I love to try new varieties. My main three in no particular order: Tabasco - I love the tang and while it's not very spicy it tastes great with foods such as chili, burgers, etc. and I love it mixed with ketchup on eggs. Matouk's Calypso Hot Sauce - My...

    What are the best floor fans? Vornados?

    I love my Vornado fans. In my experience they do a very good job of cooling a room without making you feel like you are in a wind tunnel. They are also fairly quiet for the amount of air they circulate. I have no experience with the Kool Operator fans but they look like they can move some...

    Starting to realize that I am picky audiophile without the audiophile budget!

    This may be the five martinis and numerous beers that I have had tonight talking but...I think we just get bored with what we have and crave something new. If we handed our old systems to someone else they would be perfectly happy with them. We are obsessed and should seek help :) Unless you...

    Dead or Alive 3 add-on disc

    I loved...and still love the game. All fighting games are used almost strictly as multi-player games for me and this one is perfect for that. I think that DOA3 has the right balance of depth and playability. An experienced player can really get into the complicated combo moves but the game...

    Is it alright to mix PSB Alpha Center with Klipsch RF-3's?

    If you are buying all three speakers anyway then I would suggest buying from the same manufacturer...ideally the same speaker for your front stage. In a pinch a mismatch can still deliver decent results, but not when compared to a well matched setup. I had been using an Infinity Kappa...

    Dead or Alive 3 add-on disc

    The magazine is for sale pretty much everywhere. You can usually pick up a copy in most grocery stores, 7-11, etc. so I imagine it would be at any gaming store. - Jeff

    Is 'hell' considered to be a swear word?

    What's Your Nickname?

    Jones, Jonesy or Dr. Jones. Jones is used in a wide variety of situations, Jonesy gets used mostly during trash talking sessions, and Dr. Jones is only used when I've done something deserving of a little extra respect :) - jjones (my normal signature nickname)
