    The Long Goodbye transfer quality.

    Why is the black level so bad on this picture? There isn't a speck of dust or a scratch on the transfer but the picture looks like someone cranked the brightness up about ten notches too high. Normally I'd just turn the brightness down to compensate but that darkens to the point where much...

    Bose has a new Freestyle system.

    It is the Bose 3-2-1 speakers, the 5.1 simulation "video stage" decoder and the sub without the DVD player. It runs for 500 dollars which is exactly half the price of the 3-2-1. I can't comment on the sound quality but it amazes me that BOSE is charging 500 dollars more for a DVD player that...

    Is the ab-doer safe for your back?

    My aunt is thinking of getting one of these but they don't look safe to me. It looks like the machine would hurt your spinal column. Does anyone know any facts about the Ab-doer? I don't trust the advertisments.

    A weird question inspired by giant bug movies.

    Eight Legged Freaks and Starship Troopers made me start wondering about a stupid question. If insects and spiders were gigantic, would they still be able to run and jump with lightening speed? Or would they be squashed by their own weight or just creep around slowly because they'd weigh so much...
