I've had this thing like a year, and I never use it. It doesn't really seem to do anything really useful.

Yes, it' an address book, but so is my paper address book.

So if you have one of these things or a similar Palm, what do you do with it? Do you use it as a media player? If so, what software to use with it, as the built-in Real player sucks? Can it play video decently? My attempts failed miserably.

Any other great apps out there that I'm just not finding? Screen is to small to read ebooks on. It has no phone capability nor wireless internet.

I'd really like to find a good use for this thing.

I have an HD Sharp Aquos 42in LCD TV but I can't change it to it's full resolution of 1920x1080.

This is stopping me from getting the full potential of it's HD output eg. I cannot set my Xbox 360 to match my TV's maximum resolution, whenever I try to set the Xbox to 1920x1080 the TV says Out of Range.

The TV then shows that the resolution is infact something like 1280x720. This then leads me to believe that the TV is broadcasting currently in 720p.

Could anyone help me with changing the TV's resolution?

I have often wondered about the quality of your run of the mill webcam. What is your opinion of the best webcams on the market and what should someone look for when buying a webcam?

One of the ones where you take a picture and it pops out the front, one of the older ones. Do they still make them, and if they do, where can I buy one? (film too.)
:) Thanks!

How can I make a photographic portrait without the usage of a camera? The Camera Obscura was developed in 5th century BC by philosophers but there was also an earlier technique used by ancient Egyptians.

I'm trying to choose between the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS or Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L (currently only have the kit lens - 28-135mm). Or if anyone has a better idea for a nice second lens, that advice would be welcome also. Mostly will be used for event photography such as weddings.

i've had it for a while and now when i go to plug it in to the usb port. i go to my computers and select the drive its in. then it says that it has to be formated so i click yes to format it (it had a warning saying if i format it that it will delete all files on my mp3 player) so i went ahead to format it but it says it was unable to complete the format. so now my computer won't recognize it anymore and all my songs have been deleted from my mp3 player.

the mp3 player i have is called: Creative Zen Nano Plus (1GB)

I need a camera for photo class and I'm looking at these two. I found a Minolta on Craigslist for way less than a Canon. but are they comparable cameras or is one really crappy? they're pretty comparable in terms of basic functions right?

During my recent beach vacation, my camera started to malfunction. Pictures look find in the viewfinder, but the final results are overexposed and contain horizontal lines throughout the image. (I've posted two pictures at cazenoviacreek.blogspot.com)

I did bring the camera down to the beach, and it did get splashed just a bit (lens was retracted) during one unfortunate wave, but it was working for two days after that incident.

I've reset the settings, and have tried many different settings, but to no avail. The video camera function still works perfectly.

Any ideas?

I'm doing a science project that requires an instrument to measure the electromagnetic frequency of electric appliances..... More specifically, cell phones. My science teacher told me stories of how when he did a science project about the effects of cigarette smoke, he wrote the cigg. companies, and they sent him free samples to use.. Another girl needed soap, so she wrote the soap companies - and got free soap.. Others were investigating the effect of caffience of heart-rate.. They got free CASES of Coca-cola.. So on, so forth.. I am curious who I should write to get an EMF measurer shipped to me to use and return... heheheh. And which one you reccomend I should ask for.. There are some that cost 24 dollars, and others ranging in the hundreds.. I need one that works well, and is shippable to me soon. You'd think they wouldn't hesitate to send me one because I am basically doing product testing for them! Heheh.. Thanks!

It comes with pretty much everything, I believe. Except the film, which you can buy pretty much at any drugstore. It's in GREAT condition. It's used, but like-new. How much at the most do you think it's worth?
