I kind-of agree that downloading movies might be the wave of the future, think Microsoft, but for most of us it's going to be the far, far future. I'm still limping along on 768K DSL with no way to improve unless I go Comcast, which I really don't w…

I meant to post yesterday but was busy. Still haven't received the HDMI cable, perhaps this afternoon but definitely tomorrow. Monday I put the 10a player in place and hooked up the analog cable to the older Sony receiver so it'd be ready to go w…

Gloss, you beat me posting this. In fairness, though, I would like to point out that Blockbuster will still carry HD-DVDs on line where, I'm sure, most of the HD rentals occur given they have HD discs in only 250 B&M stores. So it's hard to s…

I've mentioned more than once that I think the whole HD competing formats is stupid and detrimental and that as long as there wasn't a standard I was staying on the sidelines. Plus there wasn't a large enough library of quality titles available and …

Northgate, if you're shopping for HDMI cables at Best Buy you obviously have money to burn. Monoprice is the place to order them. http://www.monoprice.com/products/su...d=10240&style=

I don't know whether it's the end of the third quarter, second or even first, but to declare the game over because Toshiba is cutting back its sales estimate is unduly overly optimistic as Toshiba, as well as Sony, has shown a willingness to limp al…

To stay on topic, I'm using a TiBook 867 and to me the upgrade looks fantastic. However, the TiBook, which I use as a second computer downstairs and is plugged into ac about 98% of the time, still works fine for me. It's a lot slower than my MacPro…

I'd be a little leery of upgrading the processor on your G4, as I don't think it would be worth it, especially since you're planning on getting a new computer later in the year, If I read your post correctly it's a single processor not dual. Your po…

Here's a link to an article that states Sony will have a firmware update available tomorrow that allows upscaling. The article is confusing as it mentions upscaling Blu-ray disks not SD DVDs. A mistake? http://www.macworld.com/news/2007/05/23/ps3/…

While never say never, my guess is that the chances are very remote as Apple was badly burned by Motorola's inability to keep the PPC chips used in the Power Macs comptetive. Job got egg on his face once by promising 3Ghz in a couple of months, whic…

While I'm sure Sony would rather make money from day 1 on the PS3, often times new products loose money until economics of scale takes over. I'm not a gamer. but from what I've read the PS2 has had a long life and it seems Sony has designed the PS3 …

Congratulations on your new camera and thanks for taking the time to let us know your decision. Which macro lens did you get?
