Movies slow to take off online

This really doesn't surprise me much at all. Sure downloading is easy, but so is Netflix-ing, and then you have all the "pirates" who will copy their Netflix movies.

Sharp Aquos 32″ 1080p TV: Overkill?

I know I'm always harping on price, but I tend to agree with the Gizmodo guys that $2400 is an awful lot to spend on a 32" LCD. Sure saying it has 1080p is great, but is it really necessary? The 720p version is only $899. Still a lot, sure, but a LOT less than $2400. But wait, isn't 1080p […]

pana_total

I'm sure there's SOMETHING wrong with this unit, but if there is, the guys at Engadget sure can't figure it out. They kinda like this sub-$3000 projector, and there seems to be plenty to like.
