wide screen tv, the good points

http://www.high-techproductions.com/widescreen.htm

The pan-and-scan area (lighter shaded) is what is shown when your TV screen is full. Wide screen videos and DVDs - even with the black areas - let you see the entire visual image just as it was originally shown in the theatres.

This article is telling me how wide screen has effectively changed the viewing of films at home to be more realistic like the actual cinema, is this going to change the cinema industry, is it going to make less people go tot he cinema and instead for them to stay at home and wait tfor the dvd to come out so that they can enjoy it in the leisure of their own home with comfy chairs surround sound and perfect images on their widescreen tv?????

ipod mini how its better than walkman

The iPod mini will be popular. Sales will expand as the market expands. It's a repeat of what happened with the Walkman 25 years ago. Apple is out front of a massively expanding market. Their machines are brilliant in every respect.... At the moment, they can't lose, but Apple will eventually lose its dominant market share. The competition will be too intense.

This article is telling me how popular the ipod is, and how it has progressed from the walkman. It is telling me some of the features of the ipod. It is also telling me how the apple didn’t do much market reseacrh but still achieved customer satisfaction. Also telling me though how the music industry is becoming corrupt because of illegal downloading.

Wii™ has a unique control system, which is an inventive, first-of-its-kind controller whose position can be detected in a 3-D space. The new controller allows users to pinpoint targets in games or move through the Wii™ Channel Menu with precision and ease.Players are warned at the start of each game to make sure there are no obstacles or people in their way.

This article is telling me how the wii is to be used and how the wii is a change in the technological trend that has occurred. It is telling me on how it is different. And why people like this so much.
