Consumer Electronics - 18 November 2006

I remeber when game developers used to double their bit capacity for every new consoles. For example, I know that the original Nintendo had 8 bits, the super Nintendo had 16 bits, the N64 had 64 bits (duh, and the Nintendo Gamecube had 128 bits. So how many bits does the Nintendo Wii have? Does it still have 128 bits

Or is it better to have it cleaned at my local camera store like the camera store told me? Or is that a boatload of crap? It sound pretty easy. I Have a Canon EOS Rebel XT 350D. Thanks in advance....

It has been brought to my attention that we have been lied to. We waited until 12 PST for the Wii. Where is it? The major sites have lied to us. I will continue posting info on this scandal. We want Wii!!!

Just today, i tried burning a movie (.avi) onto a DVD - R , but to no avail. The laptop i am using is a Sony Vaio - VGN- FE18GP, and i looked up specs and it says it is compatible with my disc. Basically when i use windows media player or Real Player, its says insert CD into drive, even when the disc is already inside.


Can anyone recommend any other dvd burning softwares so i can burn the movie onto DVD as a DVD or VCD format so i can play on the DVD player?


ThANKS!

I am doing a very simple project about an AND gate (74LS08) using a power supply of 5V (battery eliminator) and a 5mm, 1.8V (red) LED.

What should be the value of resistance?
Should I connect it in series or parallel with LED?
Is there any formula to calculate the output voltage useing resistor when input voltage is given?

Thank you!

I know there are sites where you can get referbished or open/returned electronics for a fraction of the price. Does anyone know any good sites. I would love one for Christmas.

Thank you

wow, how many times I have heard that PS3 is not even a glorified 360. I have heard some say 360 use HD-DVD's and PS3 is about the same with Blue ray. Wow. 360's use DVD'S and the PS3 is going to absolutely dominate the console market after a few months of catch up. I bought one after waiting in line for 3 days. I have a nice TV so I can see the full glory of PS3... Launch titles generally are bad, but these are actually ok. when GRAW2 comes out for PS3 I may just stop breathing. I have played the wii and I own a 360. the wii sucks and seems geared toward little kids. The 360 is awesome except it freezes, overheats, lights of death, supports 1080P finally but no HDMI cable is made. The graphics are pretty good but the PS3 will be better in a few months. Look at king kong for 360-.it alone made me wait almost 9 months to get one because the graphics were so lame. I held out for GRAW and now Splinter cell. sony has won. thank goodness they didnt blow it. stylish, and powerful.
