How Widescreen Won

How Widescreen Won 05/28/2004 09:35 AM
theodp writes "When Laserdisc makers adopted widescreen in the 80s, letters poured in from customers who thought there was something wrong with their discs. Just a few years ago, Blockbuster discouraged widescreen DVDs on the grounds that customers confused by the letterbox format thought they were defective. But now, even Blockbuster concedes that widescreen is superior to pan-and-scan. What happened? According to Slate, the DVD format, big-screen TVs, and the continuing education of filmgoers all played a part in changing the way we watch movies at home. " Hurray for small victories.

Apex PD-840 8.4 Inch Widescreen DVD
Player 06/15/2004 01:05 PM

Apex has added a nice looking 8.4-inch widescreen DVD player to their lineup, called the PD-840. It plays DVDs, music, all that good stuff, with a projected battery life of 2.5 hours -- not long enough for two movies, but probably just long enough for one. Although portable DVD players are the sort of product that has very limited appeal to me -- if I'm not watching them at home, they I'll probably be watching on a laptop -- I know some people, especially people with kids, get a lot of mileage out of them. My own family has chewed through at least two in the last couple of years keeping my young brother entertained.

Should be available late summer for around for (a too pricey) $325.

Longtime Apple notebook carrying case maker, Brenthaven, has introduced a new shoulder case that offers users protection for a 12- or 15-inch notebook in one bag. Unlike other 15-inch cases that can easily fit a 12-inch notebook -- although not as snugly -- Brenthaven says the new bag incorporates the CORE protection system, which adjusts its grip to accommodate different size notebooks. The Brenthaven Pro 12/15-inch Shoulder Case has a twin compartment with a combination accordion file folder and multimedia pockets designed for notebook accessories, cables and files. There's also an all-new organizer panel with a special iPod protective pocket and plenty of space for a cell phone.

Plant-Air Backpack 03/19/2005 02:45 AM

Harmut Stockter has created a piece which he calls his "Plant Backpack" (actually, Planzenrucksack) that allows its wearer to breathe the fresh air generated by the plants kept in the portable greenhouse while allowing the wearer to provide the plants with their much-needed carbon dioxide. His back-mounted study in symbiosis of course means that you can finally use your favorite "breath of fresh air" jokes out in public where you might not will surely be mocked.

It even has an internal USB outlet for charing devices that can receive power over USB.

Sony HMP-A1 VAIO Video Pocket Review

Sony HMP-A1 VAIO Video Pocket Review 07/12/2004 10:34 AM

I should warn you: I'm sort of lukewarm on portable video players altogether. I don't commute to work, and when I did, there was enough jostling and train swapping to make anything that required focused attention, like reading books or watching video, a fractured and annoying experience. But still, there is an opportunity for a video player like the HMP-A1 to be useful -- I just don't think this would be the one I would buy.
