I am not sure if I want to get one of these Sony BDp-S360 players, I saw a sony bdp s360 review here, but I still can’t make up my mind. The player seems to be somewhat of an entry model, i’m looking for something a bit more advanced.

It seems you’ve based your review on CNET’s review?! Have you actually seen the TV to even warrant the “thumbs down”??

Comment on Gates not worried about Google in mobile software market by Travel Blog

Travel Blog — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:15:07 +0000

Wow another anti Microsot blog. I am sick of all these. Gates is right Microsoft has 30 successful products don’t judge them just by Vista. Google is just Internet Company, they came out with Chrome which is like the worst Web Browser ever. But nobody is talking about it. I don’t know why people do that, I have seen thousands of Windows terrible reviews, even before its release, so its probably the Mac and Linux guys who are trying hard to take Microsoft out.

I think the most important thing is how good your authors are. First thing google checks is Authors Bio, if it founds that special you are most definitely gonna get indexed.

Comment on The PC vs Mac ads return - now from the PC’s perspective! by SYnytac

SYnytac — Tue, 19 May 2009 23:24:50 +0000

Windows 7 blows mac out of the water. Just installed it on an old laptop with a P3, 512mb ram and it runs like a champ. Plus, It makes a hell of a lot more sense than mac’s gui. Why do your menu bars change? And what happens in a few years when your computer can’t handle the newest programs? Do you have to buy a new mac, or can you upgrade? I can’t imagine how much Apple will charge for upgrades of the same hardware we use in our PCs.

I hope all you Mac users will one day realize Apple is trying to sell you a dream. It’s not real, whatever you think it may be.

Computers are simply a tool to be abused. Imagine two hammers are for sale. Both are made of the exact same parts. The instruction manual is easier to read on one of them, but it’s going to cost you 2x-3x the amount of the other hammer with crappy instructions. Which is the smarter, more logical decision? People who buy macs are not smarter/more logical because they’re buying into the hype.

I built my rig for $800 and got windows 7 for free. I can connect my media to my xbox 360 easily. Can you say the same for your mac?

Comment on Panasonic TC-P50X1 plasma HDTV reviewed by JB

JB — Fri, 15 May 2009 21:13:21 +0000

Hi Norma,

We couldn’t actually find any details for the TH-50PX77 on the Panansonic site, but did find this old review from CNet - http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/panasonic-th-50px77u/4505-6482_7-32317316.html. It gets a ‘Very Good’ rating from them. You state that the unit is 1080i, although the review says it is 720p. So I’m not too sure what spec is correct, but in answer to your question I would suspect that the TC-P50X1 is the slightly better model due to its higher contrast ratio of 30,000 to 1. But that’s possibly the only major difference. Hope that helps.
