Oppo dv 981hd dvd player reviewed cnet
Waiting for the end of the war, it could be interesting take a look to the Oppo DV-981HD DVD player review published at CNET. With a price around $230 (or about €175), this not exactly inexpensive player features upscaling to 1080p over HDMI, DivX/Xvid support, aspect-ratio control, and can be made region-free with a simple hack.Because of the lacking of component video output, this player is a good choice only if you already have a 1080p TV, to enjoy Hi definition while waiting for the end of the war to decide which format to buy.

On the Cheap: Move fast to get February travel deals
If you are planning to fly to Europe this month or looking for a quick cruise getaway, you'd better move fast to get in on some great deals.
American Airlines is offering reduced rates on flights to Europe during February, but tickets have to be purchased by Monday.
You can fly roundtrip from San Antonio to Frankfurt International in Germany for less than $500 on flights that average about 15 hours. A roundtrip from San Antonio to London's Gatwick is less than $600. You must depart by Feb. 28 and return by March 30, according to Travelzoo.com and AA.com.
There is another reason to travel to Europe soon if you plan to upgrade from discounted coach to business class on American. After March 1, you will pay more. Upgrading from coach to business will cost $300 and 25,000 miles each way for most foreign travel.

Everything is cheap

Who stopped the tech revolution in Indonesia?
Look around you. Words, pictures and sounds vying for your attention as you go to work every day. Many more when you get back home. While you may subconsciously witness a thousand messages in Metro Indonesia today, rural Indonesians maybe see a hundred.
That's because the entire country is glued to television every day, billboards and banners are everywhere, and the radio is often on as "background music". Most of the messages vying for your attention are unsolicited.
Almost 30 million regular users walk around with their mobile phones all day and about 500,000 have a Palm or Blackberry type of PDA in their pockets, with messages they have "opted in" to receive. However, the one sad, significant reality is that the country has yet to take real advantage of the Worldwide Web.

Propietary cables for the lose: the Pelicon Air Flo lets your 360 ...
I'm something of an old fuddy-duddy these days. Instead of going out and painting the town various colors, I've been spending more time entertaining people at my apartment and going over to my friends' houses to hang out and play games. The downside is that by the nature of my job, I tend to be the person with all the systems and games. I sometimes find myself slogging around the seedier parts of town with hundreds of dollars worth of systems and games in a backpack. That's not even addressing the fact that I have to unplug everything from my home theater to hook it up to another television across town. Modern consoles—outside of the PS3's HMDI connection—use proprietary cables. These cables tend to be a little expensive; you can either put up with the annoyance of unhooking everything or buy a second set of expensive cables.
