It used to be the case that people thought bigger was better, particularly in America. Not so, now. Everything has to be in miniature. Mobile phones have got smaller with each generation, as have digital cameras. The same thing is happening now with MP3 players and iPods. Just in case you hadn’t heard, the MP3 and the iPod are digital music recorders. You can download music from your computer and straight onto an MP3 or iPod. These small devices are capable of storing hundreds of your favorite tunes. As the MP3 player has got smaller and smaller – currently it is equivalent to the size of a woman’s earring – so the iPod is going the same way, first with the nano iPod and now with the Apple nano iPod.

The Sony NW-HD5 20GB hard drive audio player is a solid competitor: It certainly has a leg up on its wheel-sporting white rival in the battery life department, and it has a couple of navigation features that should make Apple take note.
Sony has been struggling to keep pace with Apple’s hugely successful iPod and iTunes, but it’s been a losing battle. It lacks extras like an FM tuner or recording, but so does the iPod, and the lack of frills makes it very simple to use. Read the rest of this entry »

Calculating the Correct Distance
In setting up the environment for your plasma TV, a primary consideration is to determine the screen size to match the floor plan or available space where the plasma will be displayed.
Plasma monitors are measured diagonally across the screen, just like any other television set. You can typically choose from the following sizes: 32″, 40″, 42″, 46″, 50″, 61″, or 63″. Bigger is not always better, and a certain distance must be maintained between the plasma TV and the viewing area for optimal viewing experience. Sitting too far away diminishes the overall impact. Sitting too close, however, could also present its own problems - as when you start seeing the screen’s “structure”; i.e., the dots or pixels that make up the plasma display.
