Consumer Electronics - 7 July 2006

I own a Fujifilm Finepix S5000 camera. I recently purchased a wide angle lens online. It said it would work with my camera. It fits and everything works right with it, except that when it is zoomed out, there are black shadows on the four corners. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that or not... but I think maybe the lens is might not be the right size and the edge of the lens is causing a shadow effect in the corners of the pic. I've never dealt with wide angle lenses so could someone please help me out here?

I know I can get a phone at Sam's or other places without the plan, but I also see all the free phone deals. Mostly I need a plan that gives me I guess about 1-2 hours a day of peak time use.

Somebody went into a chatroom and posted my cellphone number in the room, so I've been getting a lot of weird people calling me. So I'm wondering if there is a way I can change my cellphone number? I have Verizon if that makes any difference.

I have a Sprint LG PM 225. I had it converted into a Cricket(another service provider in case anyone doesn't know) so I no longer have internet access. Does anyone know of websites where I could get ringtones for my phone where my phone isn't required to have internet access?

button beep switched on ? you know that totally pointless function when you are pressing any button on the phone it beeps it is at its most annoying when you are on a train that is used by school kids texting their mates on the way home all you can hear is beep bloody beep ,why is that function even put onto a phone ? it serves no usefull purpose that I can think of and when I get a new mobile after setting the time ,date,etc etc it is the first thing 2 be switched off if you are able my last 2 phones did not allow the function 2 actually be disabled all you can do is turn the volume down to zero so why oh why is it on the telephone in the first place it serves no usefull purpose that I can possibly imagine yes I do have a mobile which is almost permantly switched on to vibrate especially when on a train and one of my other gripes are the people who I am sure set the alarm to sound every 5/10 minutes then procede to shout business speak into the thing at the top of there voices!

I have a 3 year old Panasonic ED plasma tv. When I turn it on the colors are only green, white, and pink. After about 30 minutes the color comes in normally. This has been going on for about a year now. Sometimes, the color won't come in correctly all day. I tried unplugging the unit to see if the system will reset itself, but no luck. I haven't taken it to a repair shop because I'm not looking forward to pulling it off the wall, plus it weighs about 80lbs and is quite bulky. Of course, I know I will eventually have to do it. What could be the problem and does anyone have an idea what it will cost to repair. Thanks, Robert

We have a cordless phone(5.4 GHZ) and it always seems to have static whenever we take it outside(so what is the point in having a cordless??). What in your opinion is the best phone on the market now?

Then sometimes I can hear 30% or 50% of the sound with static. Very rarely I hear 100% of the sound without static.

Last year, I moved to a two story apartment. As part of their extensive list of rules, I'm not allowed to "attach" anything to my balcony (Anything they could see in the daytime....) nor do I have access to the roof. What suggestions does anyone have? Is QRP my best option? I'm concerned about RFI with my neighbors, so 100 watts or more is probably out of the question.

What is your favorite video/computer game of all time, and why (get detailed)?

Mine's probably Half-Life 2 and its new expansions because of the cinematic experiences, characters/voice acting, physics, and overall atmosphere.
