Video Cables Demystified

I know having recently set up an HD system myself, the number of cables that are available in a store can be quite confusing. I did this short video, which will hopefully explain some of the differences between the various cables, and in what order you want to use them. This is just some basic information, for more in depth information I would start with Wikipedia. In the video I mistakenly said that component cables carry analog signals, although this is still true for most consumer grade application. Digital component cables are starting to gain popularity and can carry signals up to 1080p, although HDMI cables still have the advantage of also being able to carry audio.

A Review of Gazelle

I decided to have my payment sent through Paypal. I then received an email with the packing slip and the shipping label. I do know they have boxes they send out at a certain price point, but I am not sure what that is. I packed up my items and brought it down to the local Fed Ex store on Monday, July 19. I got an email on the evening of July 22, that they had received my package and confirmed all the items in it. At that point they began to test each item separately to make sure it is working and in the condition I said it was. For example, I had checked to make sure my PSP turned on, but that's all I had done. I hadn't used it in such a long time that I had forgotten there was a sim card stuck in it and that it would start but then all of a sudden turn off after a short time. After they tested that item, I received an email with the problems they found and the reduce price they could offer. I had the option of either accepting the reduce price or they would send the item back to me. I chose to go with the reduced price.

Iphone iOS4 Review

This is my initial review of the iPhone iOS 4.0 update.  I updated my 3GS phone, I will not get the IPhone 4 until the middle of July  Right now I am writing while listening to Pandora. The multitasking works well.  If you have multiple applications open, you switch between them by double tapping the home button. It works really

Yelp Makes Some Changes

This is a follow-up post to an earlier entry I wrote back in on March 21, 2010, titled Trouble with Yelp. It was about Yelp being sued for manipulating reviews and pressuring businesses into buying advertisements with them. Last week, Yelp announced some changes in its policies. The first change they made was to start showing all reviews, even those

Bose Mobile In Ear Headset Review

I've owned an Iphone since it first came out and have always used the earphones that came with it. If for some reason I can't find them I use a pair of cheap Sony headphones. I have also tried the Jawbone, but found it uncomfortable. Last week, my Iphone headphone broke, for the second time in less then a year the seal on the ear piece split. This left me with only the Sony headphones, which are ok for listening to music, but they have no mic. I decided it was time to get a good pair of headphones.

Microsoft CES Keynote a Review

I watched the Microsoft CES Keynote last night, on Ustream thanks to Cali Lewis of Geekbrief TV and I was not impressed. A little background, this is the first Microsoft Keynote I have watch. I have used Windows before, but I am presently a Mac user. I don't hate Windows, I just find the Mac easier to use. So with

HP Mini 110 Netbook – Mini Review

Netbooks seems to be one of the biggest "old" technologies for 2009. I say old technology because it doesn't seem to really offer anything that hasn't been offered before, except in a smaller size. Under-powered machines have been around since PCs came on the scene back in 1981 (and before). With that said, I been using one for a couple
