My new Razor has a usb port on it. Manual only talks about turning the phone on for it to charge through that port. It would be great if I could sync it to my laptop for an address book and to share pics and such. Anybody hear of any software for Razors out there? Am I asuming too much because the port is there?

My television keeps shutting off on its own after being on for about five minutes. I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to turn on again. Then I turn something like the vcr or dvd on play and it shuts off again. Is it something I can get fixed cheaply or should I just get a new TV. It's a Zenith brand TV and all the Zenith TV's we have had in the past never gave us any problems.

Panasonic SH-FX60, rear wireless speakers... when I plug 'em in they hum/buzz really nastily. I've tried restarting, unplugged and replugged etc, but no good. Panasonic support are no use either.

Any ideas?

Is the switch at the door different? I think so because I think I need a stronger switch to activate chimes.

cell phone numbers aren't in directory's or anything so can a person still find out who you are by just having your number.... for instance if i call person A with my cell phone and they pick up and we talk and everything...then hang up..can he find out who called them if he forgot...i guess i'm trying to say is there some kind of caller id that can be used on cell phones?....sooo if you have a cell phone and a random person calls you can you find out who that is

My 720p HDTV upscale (zoom) picture from my DVD to fill the screen. Is this any different from DVD players when they up-convert the picture to 720p? If it's no difference (my guess), then why dose up-conversion function exists? Why would any one pay extra for a DVD with up-conversion function? If it is different, please explain. Thanks.

When you read all the fine print, and actually compare what each company is givng you have to spend alot of time to understand each plans details, committments, termination fees, etc...It seems these mobil cell plans rake you over the coals. I want to chose one that works well for two phones. One parent, one child to be able to keep in touch. Any ideas or suggestions?

I have to buy a digital SLR for my work and I am totally lost/out of my depth.

I need to take photographs of rock cores that are in boxes from approximately 1.5m above them. The boxes will be on the floor with the camera fixed to a frame directly above. The total area that needs to be in the photo will measure appromiatey 1.10m by 1.5m.

As I am taking pictures of rock core the most important elements include resolution and the camera making the colours look realistic. The photos will be used for presentations and for reports.

It would need to be relatively durable as I work in the tropics - up to 40C/100F and 80-90% humidity and plenty of dust.

My boss would prefer 8MP or better.

Oh and one last thing. I have a budget of $750 US - I think this will have to include customs tax and shipping from the US.

Irealise this is a tough ask but if anybody can provide me with some advice or recommendations I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Chris

I'm looking for something to provide a basic covering for chocolate block terminals, preferably something that just plugs into the terminal coverings. It's for an existing wiring project, so something simple would be best. Any ideas ?

My parents are thinking about getting a new tv, but noone in our family really knows much about HDTV or surround sound. I looked on amazon and I think they like the philips one on this site. http://www.amazon.com/Philips-46PP9302-Digital-Widescreen-HDTV-Ready/dp/B000066R5O/sr=1-130/qid=1161137562/ref=sr_1_130/102-4871100-3554544?ie=UTF8&s=audio-video
There are also some other tvs around 40 to 50 inches by akai. But they all say they need a tuner. What does an hd tuner do and where can I get it? also, will it connect to the tv's?

I also have some questions about sound. pretty much all of the tv's we've looked at have speakers built in, but we want to get surround sound too. The thing is that we don't know much about surround, either. I looked on amazon for those too, and I've seen sets with a special box that looks like a dvd player as well as some that say they bounce the sound waves. Do we need a box, and will normal speakers work with the 'bounce' ones?

Thanks in advance.
