Panasonic’s CEDIA booth featured two new value-priced additions to the company’s expanding line of 1080p-resolution plasma televisions. The 42-inch Panasonic TH-42PZ77U and the 50-inch TH-50PZ77U utilize the same panels used in the company’s 700-series of 1080p plasma televisions, and include two HDMI ports as well as an SD memory card slot for viewing digital images. Cost reductions of the new PZ77-series televisions were achieved by incorporating a different speaker package and eliminating the VGA port. Also, the 700-series’ anti-reflective screen coating has been changed to an anti-glare screen coating on the PZ77U-series televisions. Available later this month, the TH-42PZ77U and TH-50PZ77U will carry a suggested retail price of $1,799.95 and $2,799.95, respectively.

While everyone knows Photoshop is a marvelous imaging tool for photographers, in some minds it has been transformed into a magic wand, with powers beyond imagination—you don’t have to shoot the image perfectly initially because you can always fix it in the computer. As good as the digital darkroom is, the old acronym about computers is still important to remember: GIGO (garbage in, garbage out). Paying attention to the craft of taking the picture is also about using Photoshop and other image-processing software, because how you first capture your subject tremendously affects what you can do in the computer and how you do it.
One of the best features of a laptop is the ability to access the internet while on the road. Whether downloading material en route to a presentation, or handling e-mail from a park bench, the benefits are obvious.
There are two ways to get a laptop online wirelessly: a wi-fi connection or a 3G mobile phone network. Wi-fi is a proven technology but relies on the laptop being within range of a suitable hotspot or wi-fi zone (see InGear’s recent wi-fi guide). If, however, you need to surf while further afield, a mobile phone network can be more effective.
You no longer need to connect your mobile phone to a laptop, or plug in an expansion card to get online at near-broadband speeds. Computer makers are embedding 3G receivers into laptops, so you can log on wherever you find a mobile phone signal.
