What does 2008 hold for the high definition format war?  If you were to look around the Internet lately, most would tell you that nothing good is going to come of it.

With all of the buzz about global warming it’s easy to forget other simple ways we can improve the environment. Old electronics take a long time to decompose here are some recycling options to keep that gear out of our landfills and some of them are free.

Everyone shrugs off China’s censorship of the internet with a sort of, “Well, it IS China,” attitude. However, what might come as a shock to everyone around the globe is that Australia is jumping on the censorship bandwagon behind the communist country.

Last time I reviewed the SZ640 based on its hardware alone, if you didn’t read that, do so now and then come back here.  Of course, that review pretty much covered the entire SZ line of computers because the build is standard among all models.  Now it’s time to evaluate the SZ640 strictly from a performance standpoint.

"Constance vigilance" - Harry Potter fans might recognise that phrase, oft-quoted by a decidedly demented and obviously paranoid teacher. But it’s something online users might need to latch on to, seeing as personal data theft reached record levels in 2007.

Uniden, known for being makers of high end radar detectors for many years, has entered the GPS navigation system game. Upping the ante on all of the other GPS and radar detectors out there, they are releasing the very first GPS and Radar detector combo in 2008. They haven’t released the details of its features yet, but the combination looks promising.

If you thought the war on capitalism died with the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989, you’d be wrong. Agitators are still hard at work at bringing down capitalism, but now they have a new weapon, the Apple iPod.

Oh, my. It’s Microsoft. On YouTube. And it’s not that cute ad about the MS iPod redesign. They’re trying to push Live and Vista via YouTube. And leaving comments open. Desperation? Courage? Insanity? You decide.

Often it’s more effective to communicate a series of project schedules visually. In this how-to we’ll create a Gantt chart in Excel that automatically adjusts as project dates change.

Due to the recent Apple and Fox deal, the iPod will pose a threat to Netflix’s latest casualty, Blockbuster, and will keep Netflix alive due to Apple’s limited selection and inability to keep price’s low. However, it won’t kill Blockbuster since, well, Netflix already did that.

The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) has been fighting a losing battle for years, bringing thousands of lawsuits against ordinary people over illegal file sharing. Now it’s trying to take that fight one stage further, by criminalising anyone and everyone who has ever backed up, or transferred a legally bought CD to their computer.

Ads on your cell phone - if you are anything like me the thought makes you cringe. You can be sure the ads are on their way, though. The market has gone too long untapped for salivating sales pros to let it remain ad free for long.

Firefox is one of the very best browsers on the market, far better than IE (and faster), it has more configuration options than Opera and a host of add-ons make it a breeze to configure to your personal preferences.  You have to start somewhere so why not start with these 5 add-ons?  Add-ons are not listed in any particular order.

Students across the nation have become the hapless targets of the RIAA’s campaign against piracy; many of those students are completely ill-prepared to defend the allegations being brought against them, financially and otherwise. For two students at the University of Maine, the student advocates in the school’s law program have taken up the case to fight the RIAA’s lawsuit.

Sony is trying a tactic similar to the one they are using in Australia to get more Playstation 3 units into the hands of consumers.

I recently picked up a Sony Vaio over a Dell Inspiron 1420 which I had for a short time and a review of that laptop will be forthcoming.  I like the laptop a lot and after the growing pains of getting it set up, it is a nice, light and powerful laptop for its size.  However, unless you are happy with the default configuration, this is not a laptop to buy if you plan to upgrade it.
