Digital Cameras: Top 10 Things to Know

With the Holiday season upon us, it's time to start thinking about presents. Well if your looking to get me a good present a new digital camera would hit the spot. We have a couple floating around the house, but I want one that takes better looking pictures. It can be a bit daunting figuring out what to buy. I agree with the article when he talks about the Kodak Easy Share cameras being easy to use. That is one of the great things about them. I don't care much for their buggy software that crashes on me and tries to steal my file associations. But, they take decent pictures while being easy to use. The Canon Brand has several great cameras. If you are looking for the real deal Canon makes has more high quality Pro and Pro-Am cameras. This article, while not extensive, provides a good place to start when looking for a new digital camera. Check out at the link below:

Hidden Games on Vinyl

Incredibly until I ran across this article Kempa.com: Vinyl Data I never knew there was such a thing as Vinyl computer games. This article while not in depth was very educational. I thought it was a very clever idea. A little silly, but have your ever seen some the CD Extras out there.

What is a motherboard?

Found this article on digg.com about motherboards. It was posted by the Ars Technica site. It is pretty geeky, but does a good job of describing a motherboard. If you take the time to read this article when Justin and I talk about motherboards on Talk Tech with CTI you'll know exactly what were are talking about.
