DVD and Blu-Ray playback on the Cheap

Sony’s VPL-EX50 delivers consistently bright images of up to 2500 ANSI lumens. Colours aren’t as rich as a good home theatre projector, but the VPL-EX50 isn’t designed for DVD and Blu-Ray playback (4:3 native aspect ratio and 900:1 contrast ratio aren’t great assets). Sharpness is fantastic, and its features are well conceived, making the VPL-EX50 an excellent projector for use in small to medium-sized venues. The front-inclined design helps achieves optimal image placement, and a short throw distance is perfect if space is limited. As a bonus, the new E-series projector is also easy to maintain, with a long-life filter that is timed to coincide with when the lamp needs to be replaced (around 3000 hours), reducing the number of maintenance sessions required.

Creative Zen Mosaic MP3 Player Review

(Review) - After the launch of its Zen line of compact music players, Creative has announced another contender to take on Apple’s value-oriented iPod music player. The new checkered design is interesting, but we just aren’t too fond of it. It looks too amateur, and frankly, we expected better from Creative. Sure, other Zen music players aren’t exactly Oscars worthy in design either, but we liked them better, if for nothing else but their simplicity, than Mosaic.

Swell3D Is A Blog That Stands Out--Literally

There aren't many websites that can be traced to a "specially marked box of Fruity Pebbles." Actually, there's probably only one--Swell3D.com. It all started for Sean Gleeson when his two pre-teen daughters started asking for that cereal box with the 3D artwork on it. He couldn't find it!
