About 3 weeks ago I bought a Nikon D5000 as my first DSLR and I was thrilled with the pictures it took. Not only was it extremely easy to use for a total photography newb but it also made me look like a much better photographer than I was. Can't complain about that.
All was well until a little while ago when Nikon published that they had found a fatal flaw in the circuitry of the D5000 and would need to recall [...]
After writing a rather scathing post on the iPhone and posting quite a few negative things about it, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and give it a shot. It turned out that the AT&T store near me had quite a few in stock and not a ridiculous amount of people waiting for one so I got one on Friday, June 29th at 6:05pm!
The reason I decided to even give it a shot is I came to the realization that th [...]
Want an iPhone? Of course you do. It looks sexy, it's innovative, and--for a while at least--it'll be the ultimate status symbol. But in the fog of iPhone hype, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that the latest Apple sensation will still have its share of disadvantages.

One of the best Blackberry devices that gives you both CDMA/EVDO (Verizon's network in US) and GSM/GPRS roaming when abroad (basically what the rest of the world uses) has launched on Verizon Wireless. If you're on Verizon Wireless and have been waiting to jump on the 'berry bandwagon then this is the one you've been waiting for. Apart from the global roaming capabilities, it has the latest BB 4.2 OS, an amazing sc [...]
Ok, lets get it out of the way. This is only my personal opinion and should only be taken as such especially by the Apple faithful.
So where to start? Well as everyone probably knows a while back now Apple commander-in-chief Steve Jobs announced the iPhone and the Apple world collectively starting weeping with joy. Mind you a lot of folks who aren't real hardcore Apple users were also mesmerized by the shiny de [...]
So I know it might sound stupid to jump on the proverbial HD-format bandwagon since there really hasn't been a clear winner between HD DVDÂ and Blu-Ray, I figured I might as well jump in. I went ahead and ordered a Toshiba HD-A2 HD DVD player from Amazon and of course the Planet Earth HD DVD set (original BBC series) to accompany it.
I got the HD-A2 pretty quickly and it was very easy to setup via HDMI to my O [...]
Nowadays, most consumers who buy new TVs are realizing it makes more sense to buy an HDTV rather than a SDTV (standard definition). Given the continuing drop of HDTV prices, it seems more and more likely that in the next one to two years, we could see the inevitable death of SDTV.
Most HDTVs support two resolutions that are considered to be "high-definition", 720p and 1080i. Recently announced HDTVs are star [...]
