    Weekly RoundUp 1-4-2011

    Looking at the Target ad, these are regular DVDs, not Blu-Rays, with the possible exception of The Dark Knight which shows a Blu-Ray package. Each of the others when viewed online, shows DVD when you click the package to view details. The Dark Knight doesn't have any details available when you...

    Survivor: Tocantins

    Am I the only one that noticed a big improvement in the picture quality? Last season's HD Premiere was a let down as I didn't think the picture looked all that great.

    The Amazing Race season 14

    As much as I love this show, I'm getting really annoyed at the lack of HD. This is honestly one of the only non-HD shows I still watch.

    Dock(speakers) for iTouch/iPod

    I picked up the Sony XDR-S10HDiP. It's a clock radio with integrated HD Radio and iPod dock (iPhone/Touch compatible). I paid $179 at Fry's for it, and got a $50 mailed rebate from HD Radio. Don't know if the rebate is still active, but Amazon has it for $149. I have been VERY...

    Wow, I guess I'm not alone in my boredom. If you guys haven't already, you really should check out that link in the first post to the Boston Globe's Big Picture, it's cool. Anyone else have a cool site like that I can add to my bookmarks?

    Best of the web: Post your favorite web sites

    Alright, It's 4:33am, and I'm bored. I was thinking that with the web being around since Al Gore created it back in the 90's, I really should be having more fun then this. One of my recent favorite sites is The Boston Globe's Big Picture Blog. So what do you guys all spend your web time...

    Looking to buy my first Mazda (RX-8)

    Hey Ron, Long time no see man! Hope the holidays were good... Have you considered the Mazdaspeed 3? It's won every comparison test in the recent car magazines that I've read. $24-$26k, about 270hp. 0-60 times in the mid 5's. Hatchback (is that a deal-killer?). Here's a quick YouTube...

    Chris, you have to take my movie recommendations with a grain of salt, because I'm pretty easy to please... but I would say The Kingdom is a definite buy if you enjoy action movies. My wife and I saw it at a preview screening here in LA with the director Peter Berg present. It was pretty...

    Amazing things you might not know about your cell phone...

    Good idea Jason... I'm a 911 Dispatcher and you'd be amazed (well --- maybe YOU wouldn't!) by the number of open 911 lines we receive from cell phones. Heard everything from guys talking about the pot they just scored to very, uh, "energetic activities". As for testing 911, it's not all that...

    You guys see the size of this hog ?

    Westinghouse and Syntax LCD

    Kenny, The response time is important if you watch lots of sports or want to use the TV for gaming. If yes to either, you'll probably want to stick with a set that has an 8ms response time. Not mentioned in this thread is the Sceptre line of LCD's. They are available from Costco's website...

    Visiting Los Angeles (Things to do on the cheap)

    With all the LA traffic in mind, you'd be smart to consolidate your trips. For instance if you go to the Getty in the afternoon, go a couple miles East to Westwood in the evening. Great theaters (The Village) where lots of red-carpet premieres are held, and tons of sidewalk cafes and the like...
