What is GPS?

Consumer reports on GPS (Global Positioning System) devices say that GPS locators can be very useful and enjoyable devices to own for both professional and recreational purposes. By utilizing satellite receivers floating around the earth, a GPS is used to provide you with precise information on your longitude and latitude.

Formerly used by military, these GPS tracking devices are currently in use in Afghan and is presently utilized in Iraq to precisely track the movements of ground troops during excursion operations, mobile recon, and urban conflicts. Future developments in GPS devices include human interactions with the technology, which may include inserting chips behind the neck of soldiers to help track their bodily signs, injury status, and course their global positioning.

Blu-Ray vs HD DVD

The war is over and it has been a long time coming, but the battle to replace the DVD has finally reached consumers. The consumer electronics industry has been attempting to replace the millions of DVD players and DVD-ROM drives across the United States (which is the biggest consumer of DVD’s) and across the globe. The problem, how do you decide which format to replace? Blu-Ray or HD DVD.

LCD vs Plasma

Which is better, LCD TV or Plasma? This is a much debated topic and a fun one. When choosing between Plasma and LCD TVs, you’re actually selecting between two competing technologies, both of which achieve similar features (i.e.,bright crystal-clear images, super color-filled pictures) and come in similar packages (i.e., 3.5 inch depth flat screen casing). To confuse the decision-making process further, price and size are two previous considerations that are rapidly becoming non-issues as LCD TVs are now being made in larger sizes and at competing prices with plasma.
