" first up I took a look at a couple ways to look -- your iPod on your big screen and it's not Apple TV to."
" Wow wow world."
" that in -- and a and when it comes to listening to mind is about ago they are ideal and with this new video dimension my iPod experience has just expanding -- but sometimes I don't wanna watch my video and it will be screened -- sometimes one of the big eight.

" So here's your heart. Would you want to look at video -- can't control it through your screen your remote control -- actually happens. You're paying little iPods screen does select and play with video you want. So what's important. So -- to seventy -- iPod right on a projector here's the view sonic video -- It's -- 2000. And GOP pixel resolution is 1024 by 768. Meaning it's not HD but it does support 720 and 1080 I. The project -- 2004 by three or sixteen by nine.

So a lot of these out what factories are great in concept and on paper but in reality -- don't pan out. So aren't biased just stick with your basic iPod now to. So did you hate them or just not like that where you were just totally bombed out with I have a question which made -- future segment that we should have images. -- That kind of went with my. Mind. -- with one I was just that he can do it send it back by buying cables. -- Meaning to --"
" The yeah DL and do we showed -- I -- Whitman the standard definition theory that everything looks at what is. Because you know obviously. Standard definition -- just show all the lots of them are."
" These products that are filling in the nation that doesn't necessarily need to be -- or just not affiliated in any useful way honestly we we sat down talked about for quite some time."
" We don't understand who lives. Like really like who would -- the philosophy behind it back on -- concept it's bind an execution there's it is it's English so that's that you have."
" switch modes to be able plated with the ideal specifically yet switch modes of play video and stuff it's just not. It's not seamless."
" Now -- and this makes me think a lot about many factors that probably it's so deep into that the manufacturing. And the product and then at what point do you just scrap all the time and money in the Amazon. More position they've done at some point but -- I'm sure it just press gone."
" Maybe this is a really good opportunity to engage the audience if you look at this segment and saw something that may be meanness or -- have a comment on things like this -- really interested to know like we got some demographic facts -- know who's watching the show you're smart people. Would you use this and and and and you know if you can -- differently what would you do I'm I'm really -- and we do -- service alone and things around."
" Sort of political output reform the patent actually and the projector which now it's time to and the area."
" You can't now the project X --"
" Yeah I mean essentially the projector input you dock the iPod. And then that is it's docked at high in the case let's reach iPod in there you can't do the remote control things he got look at the little screen but what if it's a high you can't."
" Passes them half pounds -- which really makes it more witnesses projector me in my mind. It's that would work work place even. Place I can't."
" got -- if you're gonna go that route again go Apple TV and downgrade them project."
" Would you mind yet in you're gonna cut that out yet. It was the concept went online. That is that it. -- Give us your opinions I appear to come up next I took a look at the ways they get all the information. EGG yes."
" Why won't won't."
" Have you ever wonder how you GPS unit knows where you're not supposed to turn left or where the closest gas station or coffee shop it. -- a bit more complicated just scanning of paper map or importing a phone book it takes an orange band."
" It's equipped with eight cameras pointing in every direction plus something called the lead he captured this 3-D landscape. We have 45 but -- capture footage. Buildings. If commission on we have few side angles. And ninety's and want it. -- it. There's also a laser lasers are distance measurement devices so if we are troubling in that area -- a lot of buildings were able to get building footprint. Information and building but sought information and it hasn't surfaced that that is -- blaster. Breakers but. Depending on reflects can get that service. Images are stamped with GPS feed and stored on hard drives. All told around half a terabyte of data is collected every single week. And the fans do cover a lot of miles. Price sixties and it doesn't say where does all this they'd end up. We danced at those hardest out we keep what but just in case it's no worse about that it gets corrupted. And send it back to thank you to where they verses in New Hampshire. And they'd post process. -- Talk here would -- told the business manager from Mexico little."
" Out of your way here have from tele atlas invasive as what the company that gathers all that information and that be your hide here -- barrels GPS unit in the view. So what are you doing with all the information gathering and talked like this. What truck like this gathers a ton of information actually not only GPS tracks. But also they information surrounding. You -- UPS trucks that you can yield according each page if Photoshop. You can today at restaurants gas stations. Commercial centers whatever else and then but all of that into digital information. So you're gathering information would. That -- is just one source you're actually gained a lot more information obviously this is just. Yeah every appeal cover the country and this is exactly we have like 50000 sources of information this is one of them. So yeah 50000 points plus there's the stuff that comes out of this track how long does take actually this altogether well you get information. Is sent from so many different source that you have to learn to -- that information I mean. A lot of data is good but content very troubling. So it takes around two months from that at the moment you capture it. For the moment that got to listen to. Customers -- you know we are around 64 conference right now that there world in the US on we have like -- at trucks like that's driving -- other thing we need data on."
" As Roberta mentioned there's 50000 source of information and that includes aerial photos sadly imagery governing data and even the US Postal Service give a helping hand. Eventually it all in the picture GPS or online at Google maps about what's the name you. So 50000 sources."
" He's a lot more than I expected personally I thought oh my god you guys pro -- it's all the pounds. But that -- you know -- like Chevron these companies. Hey they get their logo and let I figure it out EZ US Postal Service. Which makes sense to you is obviously nowhere when it."
" But what what he made sound like a lot 24 cars. For the whole United States that's like that's not we were gonna watch -- wasn't a lot it's no it's all bought it from that aspect."
" And of course they're using other pieces nation right as well and Mike when you're in some states where -- it's operating popularly you really don't have to send the car. It's places like a big cities like Los Angeles New York those points where there's so much stuff going on. In this you know the traffic sites change costly -- left here this time in on the need to be able to capture."
" It is fascinating to me. The amount of data gathering that goes into making those tiny little GPS devices. Really useful and and and really relevant. And that two month turnaround time. From when they get the information and then put it you know processes and then ship it back out. It seems like -- a very very small amount of time process so much information and keep things more or less you know up to date."
" what you don't live that they wanted to. Chart the buildings -- light."
" Well at one -- because he's got I guess how that was that other things it's just yes you can contract it's a redesign. You want me to actually contact in the go go go two. One that uses that all the cameras is actually on line. He's eaten about the Amazon has that you can actually it's pregnant alternately that's actually using that technology. So it's pretty cool all these there's a legally and the them -- some legal issues showing people's faces up. But is that it's also like Mike he's zooming -- and yet she's beautiful footprint that -- It's really a lot of ways using information I'm sure there's other light commercial uses that right. Don't know. Ruth and -- company asked that. I -- next I was wondering actually has it's money. Yeah it is just as you want component prices other side which. I'm sure and the other -- is injured so it would duplicate. -- didn't need a passenger in the end up then revert to that they're actually -- start that that the coast of Mexico. Wow cool we should not go I don't know if you -- Bryant -- him a lot of surfer and injured or disaster. So that you -- agency is that and there are all across the world were all. Countries 46. So they'll be. Higher rates -- about the website."
" So at this point you'd really like to highlight our new show sponsored net snakes in it -- name net and actually go PW WW dot netflix.com. Digital."
" And sign up you get two -- free and you have to put that WW WR. Which is really no wild card to them into him now as analogue but okay okay two weeks free ice is Netflix I I actually personally business. Object to them. I just kept that's. Had them for months time so but actually yeah. Yeah so I hate."
" I am and Netflix Jackie because I took the T via my rooms and now anti that I want I -- it's on my computer. And it's pretty much through. Netflix."
" Yeah I am I am I I am reluctant to endorse anything. Let me and Netflix is cool it's really --"
" I realize like in its its really answer yourself. Www. Netflix dot. Com slash in digital and it's two weeks free trial which is plenty of time to watch on me yet and if you're like congress the PS3 that is doing a really good job gathering dust. And you can get Blu-ray discs to."
" That's what better -- yes that you're doing that one month before the the excellent. Well hey if you are interested in stars will -- our starters the different sort. I looked at a product from -- drawn that shows you some heavenly bodies."
" Wow wow world."
" Every middle school student in America has been on field trip to planetarium. Sit on uncomfortable wooden chairs and listen to an astronomer walks you through the stars constellations. Asterisk and the next guy. It's a really good times and if you don't have a planetarium in your house while. Unlikely you're gonna be able to re created on your own this'll last -- sky scout."
" Puts the planetarium. And be astronomer right in the palm of your hand."
" And it replaces the projection of the stars with the stars themselves. If you're out on a clear night and you can't tell from that point of light -- planned for comment well I can just point that it click on the target button. Internal GPS device working -- tell you exactly what you're looking at --"
" Give you enough information to fill fifth grade report in the -- remembered beacon from the 1997. Motion picture contact."
" This guy's got holds information -- over 6000 stars 88 constellations and 100 deep space objects it's displayed on this LCD screen which is carefully lit so it doesn't disturb your night vision there's also a headphone Jack for over 200 audio descriptions of popular objects in space. It gives out not just scientific information in history and also has interactive games trivia and mythology. This -- also includes an astronomer glossary a comic guide guides to famous astronomers and an introduction to astronomy. Keeping with a small portable lightweight philosophy this -- is powered by just two double -- batteries. -- serious amateur astronomer with a whole -- here. -- just an outdoors enthusiast and doesn't want to carry around much more than a backpack and point it."
" The sky scout is not -- add any significant bulk or weight to your experience. About seven inches long and weighs less than --"
" There is an SD card slot for special audio programs like this guy to work presenting even more information about the star's outer space. There's also -- USB port for updates and firmware upgrades so I personally love this -- scout let's wrap up -- an objective look at the pros and cons first quickly on the software to connect your computer is windows only on how I feel about that."
" I also think the price point is a little high and it's gonna put it out of the budgets of the few kind of normal people."
" Also there's no on board speakers if you want to share them."
" Astronomy planetarium aspect of with more than one person you're gonna need headphones player we're gonna have to connected to an external speaker. It's not the end of the world but it is a bit of an inconvenience."
" And now the pros it is ultra lightweight and ultra portable."
" It's so easy to use going non geek -- as much as I did and wants to know when we're buying one for our family news."
" It is loaded. With the information the mythology alone is a good reason to hide this thing I learn stuff about stars and planets and I didn't know and I've been looking up since I was in short pants."
" Finally because of the SD slot and the ability to connect to your computer."
" As scientists discover new stars in remote planets like Pluto out of the solar system and expand our universe -- Skype Skype database is never going to be out of date or obsolete."
" The bottom line it's a planetarium. In the palm of your hand and I."
" very cool yeah it's a it's weird you know like I love the neo. And then I did this device and I love this device late pictures it the next thing that I'm gonna get to review for individuals can have to be like -- you could. After that things are these things are really really cool I I I love it I just wish that the price was lower. Is it does do a ton of stuff there is a ton of technology packed in this tight little package and I get that you know expensive like a laptop would be expensive. But for hobbyists. I think it's out of hobbyists."
" Yeah I mean those 200 dollars who's the only find it for education night. It comes across as a lot of the genres. In now let's look at the device that you use necessary every single -- yes right so. Obvious I mean is don't buy gifts for people are four dollars that's in nineteen -- it -- special but."
" I know excellent restaurant is a fantastic company and make really really great products I love their telescopes and I think it's a really great addition."
" Two to anyone's sort of scientific gadget collection and if you're interested in astronomy at all you have. Like you know kids that might be interested and her friends this product is a terrific way to introduce them to it to backyard astronomy. Prefer -- an astronomy here I'm gonna plug this blog that I love it's called the bad astronomy blog this -- scientist and author and skeptic. And that debunks bad science and and also links up. Really really great informative photos of all kinds of cool Hubble space telescope stuff and so that's the bad astronomy blog so what tell him ice age."
" Well another really really cool thing check out is this HD camera. War war war."
" Com a digital cameras and can corridors have never been known for their functionality styling and performance. Patches and again and now this is the new Sanyo HD exactly. And for anyone us wondering shoots HD seven when he. On video and you can record small city of sizes like. 320 by 248 or 1280 by seven. And they're for like three -- sixteen by nine widescreen. The videos are recorded to the well known and export format H teaching features and options. Like white balance and shutter speed is also. Four X seven point one mega pixels and basic account that's right. Seven point one and it shoots in JPEG format in in low light situations. Houses built in flash. And they only need one CCD that you couldn't tell the videos and pictures are bright eyed and of course it depends on how well an Carey is glad. But compared to most consumer camcorders out there HDT is there again. Now for -- to the price down there is no internal memory everything historic right here on dynasty site for instance the one gig SD card -- about fourteen minutes of HD quality video. So you're gonna -- a long family trip it going to want to take a lot of these. Most digital cameras are usually cluttered with buttons and this can be confusing and frustrating for the average mom and dad. Well you can't get more civil than this one button pressing one button for taking pictures one button for recording video atop the button to navigate. Zoom in and out switch and one button notes which for playback -- camera. And very practical docking station is included where you can plug -- and I component USD and AV cables to watch all you recorded HD content. HDTV. I only had to -- about it the first is that on off switches in a very inconvenient place underneath the screen right there. This jacket is that there's no internal memory at the very least they could given -- 112 megabytes for -- camera. All of -- HD camera on the go. This is the way ticket."
" So bringing happen with the final quality of the of the product the quality really is dependent upon what you're playing games so -- the question and answer is yes and happy. We plugged in Hans TV initially. And -- it yet and it actually can not quite crappy plug -- into a matter of course comes -- better yet we --"
" You sonic dad -- that is you actually that we looked at a previous episode it will. So how much better."
" Right so depend upon the TV that -- is shown on the how it shoots. Is beautiful I love. The whole four and I love the fact you can take pictures and video at the same time. And -- thought you have to switch settings and things you know Atlantic."
" We who spend time with complicated gadgets and like getting into things in and tweaking every tiny little settings can sometimes lose site. Like the elegant simplicity of two buttons on -- device and I really love that one of my favorite things about the Apple TV for example is that super simple little remote control yet but I just really like that I was I was I would like that important. That was so simple and so he's apparently easy to use and price point means HD cameras. But now. Man you gotta buy those memory cards and that is really gonna add up over time writing."
" Rob Mac well hope for geeks about under a hundred bucks now it's still what you're spending. That it was like 800. And hundreds like it while those night Aggies nine -- 1000 dollars scenario the location what you think it's much more."
" So this product at 800 dollars is awesome is this product at 1100 dollars awesome."
" Now right now you can almost gained."
" Other ranges -- out because if you have to buy all those SD cards you know you're gonna drag priced at two dollars and it might not be as awesome that's portability."
" It's so portable so article so that that that's -- unrest producers Steven."
" Well that form factor hey Leo. Takes every rank and you -- without cameras. -- you don't always have to --"
" In high -- might lower and he -- go through his."
" For that clip. Mentality demise the YouTube and now millions it would be pretty cool. I I like. -- have -- until then it yeah okay so that's into the show but we got a few things that account first of all we're giving away."
" Martin Q and as well. Blue Obama you just."
" This SanDisk DNA we looked at this is an excellent well. And then basically it's we'll media recorder thing for you."
" And the good artist. They don't want it back so we gave it to you exactly exactly -- what is how and so worldwide we -- opening up this contest for the entire. Planet so those of you who growing global live not in the continental United States who have felt slighted in the past this is so small -- it's really not gonna cost that much to -- and that way and it's in a format that you can of Zurich."
" So in the entire world. This contest is for you don't -- say we never gave you -- exactly that."
" Andy eat processed rendering is you know let's say give it to me -- individual on -- dot com and we're gonna get tough. Just -- access and email will pick a random you know and that's who wins may view me global."
" Yeah I'm really Poland for usually you know and it's like USA versus the world a much like this. -- like now might."
" Go world in the world and that this couple things first it looked Apple TV last episode -- And you episode systm episode seven is coming. Keep that it socially what you can do with Apple TV and be there and unity and he's really pretty cool action -- yeah -- hackable and yeah -- that is to. And then the final thing. You know there's posting a blog what version. Exe -- obligation."
" I use you go into clinics and mostly use the KDE desktops so technically I installed. Code into -- cable retirees say. But there you go into six and I think is a number that amusing at at this moment I'm very very happy."
" And then and there actually is no it's my turn to ask questions."
" Recently someone in the forum ask. What this tattoo mean some on your wrist and I said that the next time we -- in the same room I would ask you what the tech news are asking that you know it because I do know what it means go ahead -- to talk to people what -- you know."
" Marlins fans it wouldn't and them. Now now I actually -- it -- tattoo that on -- running on it means I would give away something else to me and homeless consultant. Yeah it means up property of little joker. Great name. Is in my answer secret admirer message here but there it is free as anybody wants it tackle Matt. Yeah."
" I'm thinking if I mean dagger and a all elected -- to -- an. In digital on my dot com and we'll find something yeah they can't read them is -- of the -- and so you -- you know they assured of -- it'll be like we expect aircraft. Actually Revision 3 now as he should objects. -- Or something -- and."
" Underground act. And so you guys thank you for giant -- on this edition in digital and of course -- until March of sponsors godaddy and Netflix now yeah thanks a lot for watching thanks lot for downloading thanks for telling your friends about the show as well we appreciate it. And we'll see you next time."
" You've probably seen this product that for on the digital. -- about five minutes ago."
" We cater to individual pride ourselves on being 100% accurate all the time."
" But sometimes things all through the cracks. For example this big deal well home -- as the -- that yellow hold up a lot. Confused we'll -- you sort of ten or so Apple stores best buy circuit city's we call them fine. On the outside that you home adopt the lots is pretty much identical to the original except for the -- White House which missing on the new version. The big changes come on the inside where it's all the while the issues we had the original. It's not just a glorified docking station -- you home -- a lot switching happy video on the big screen. Instead of having to look at -- tiny iPod screen like the previous version. Instead of a boring music -- with the usual artist and title there's album art album art always makes this we look fresh bite Apple TV. Okay that's a stretch of the home down to locks in magnifying -- to see the art. Let's still looks better than it did earlier this show. Want to personalize your homes up to lots of now there's a rainbow colors on screen menus does -- to be exact and screen savers galore. And I can actually navigate videos on the screen but that's not true -- you still happens which iPod remote access so maybe that C."
" Shall be available you you yellow homes -- If that proves absolutely but -- really control video and audio right on the screen you get most of the -- the iPod right on your television. It's still visually appealing in the Apple TV but you Albania better partner for -- the Apple TV does who are other things. But I would argue fundamentally you the same thing they take content from computer to display television. And for that these new home got -- lots. That's a decent job I give them mark the recommendation. Exactly improvement over the would buy this you original."

Images are stamped with GPS feed and stored on hard drives. All told around half a terabyte of data is collected every single week. And the fans do cover a lot of miles. Price sixties and it doesn't say where does all this they'd end up. We danced at those hardest out we keep what but just in case it's no worse about that it gets corrupted. And send it back to thank you to where they verses in New Hampshire. And they'd post process. -- Talk here would -- told the business manager from Mexico little."
" Out of your way here have from tele atlas invasive as what the company that gathers all that information and that be your hide here -- barrels GPS unit in the view. So what are you doing with all the information gathering and talked like this. What truck like this gathers a ton of information actually not only GPS tracks. But also they information surrounding. You -- UPS trucks that you can yield according each page if Photoshop. You can today at restaurants gas stations. Commercial centers whatever else and then but all of that into digital information. So you're gathering information would. That -- is just one source you're actually gained a lot more information obviously this is just. Yeah every appeal cover the country and this is exactly we have like 50000 sources of information this is one of them. So yeah 50000 points plus there's the stuff that comes out of this track how long does take actually this altogether well you get information. Is sent from so many different source that you have to learn to -- that information I mean. A lot of data is good but content very troubling. So it takes around two months from that at the moment you capture it. For the moment that got to listen to. Customers -- you know we are around 64 conference right now that there world in the US on we have like -- at trucks like that's driving -- other thing we need data on."
" As Roberta mentioned there's 50000 source of information and that includes aerial photos sadly imagery governing data and even the US Postal Service give a helping hand. Eventually it all in the picture GPS or online at Google maps about what's the name you. So 50000 sources."
" He's a lot more than I expected personally I thought oh my god you guys pro -- it's all the pounds. But that -- you know -- like Chevron these companies. Hey they get their logo and let I figure it out EZ US Postal Service. Which makes sense to you is obviously nowhere when it."
" But what what he made sound like a lot 24 cars. For the whole United States that's like that's not we were gonna watch -- wasn't a lot it's no it's all bought it from that aspect."
" And of course they're using other pieces nation right as well and Mike when you're in some states where -- it's operating popularly you really don't have to send the car. It's places like a big cities like Los Angeles New York those points where there's so much stuff going on. In this you know the traffic sites change costly -- left here this time in on the need to be able to capture."
" It is fascinating to me. The amount of data gathering that goes into making those tiny little GPS devices. Really useful and and and really relevant. And that two month turnaround time. From when they get the information and then put it you know processes and then ship it back out. It seems like -- a very very small amount of time process so much information and keep things more or less you know up to date."
" what you don't live that they wanted to. Chart the buildings -- light."
" Well at one -- because he's got I guess how that was that other things it's just yes you can contract it's a redesign. You want me to actually contact in the go go go two. One that uses that all the cameras is actually on line. He's eaten about the Amazon has that you can actually it's pregnant alternately that's actually using that technology. So it's pretty cool all these there's a legally and the them -- some legal issues showing people's faces up. But is that it's also like Mike he's zooming -- and yet she's beautiful footprint that -- It's really a lot of ways using information I'm sure there's other light commercial uses that right. Don't know. Ruth and -- company asked that. I -- next I was wondering actually has it's money. Yeah it is just as you want component prices other side which. I'm sure and the other -- is injured so it would duplicate. -- didn't need a passenger in the end up then revert to that they're actually -- start that that the coast of Mexico. Wow cool we should not go I don't know if you -- Bryant -- him a lot of surfer and injured or disaster. So that you -- agency is that and there are all across the world were all. Countries 46. So they'll be. Higher rates -- about the website."
" So at this point you'd really like to highlight our new show sponsored net snakes in it -- name net and actually go PW WW dot netflix.com. Digital."
" And sign up you get two -- free and you have to put that WW WR. Which is really no wild card to them into him now as analogue but okay okay two weeks free ice is Netflix I I actually personally business. Object to them. I just kept that's. Had them for months time so but actually yeah. Yeah so I hate."
" I am and Netflix Jackie because I took the T via my rooms and now anti that I want I -- it's on my computer. And it's pretty much through. Netflix."
" Yeah I am I am I I am reluctant to endorse anything. Let me and Netflix is cool it's really --"
" I realize like in its its really answer yourself. Www. Netflix dot. Com slash in digital and it's two weeks free trial which is plenty of time to watch on me yet and if you're like congress the PS3 that is doing a really good job gathering dust. And you can get Blu-ray discs to."
" That's what better -- yes that you're doing that one month before the the excellent. Well hey if you are interested in stars will -- our starters the different sort. I looked at a product from -- drawn that shows you some heavenly bodies."
" Wow wow world."
" Every middle school student in America has been on field trip to planetarium. Sit on uncomfortable wooden chairs and listen to an astronomer walks you through the stars constellations. Asterisk and the next guy. It's a really good times and if you don't have a planetarium in your house while. Unlikely you're gonna be able to re created on your own this'll last -- sky scout."
" Puts the planetarium. And be astronomer right in the palm of your hand."
" And it replaces the projection of the stars with the stars themselves. If you're out on a clear night and you can't tell from that point of light -- planned for comment well I can just point that it click on the target button. Internal GPS device working -- tell you exactly what you're looking at --"
" Give you enough information to fill fifth grade report in the -- remembered beacon from the 1997. Motion picture contact."

It gives out not just scientific information in history and also has interactive games trivia and mythology. This -- also includes an astronomer glossary a comic guide guides to famous astronomers and an introduction to astronomy. Keeping with a small portable lightweight philosophy this -- is powered by just two double -- batteries. -- serious amateur astronomer with a whole -- here. -- just an outdoors enthusiast and doesn't want to carry around much more than a backpack and point it."
" The sky scout is not -- add any significant bulk or weight to your experience. About seven inches long and weighs less than --"
" There is an SD card slot for special audio programs like this guy to work presenting even more information about the star's outer space. There's also -- USB port for updates and firmware upgrades so I personally love this -- scout let's wrap up -- an objective look at the pros and cons first quickly on the software to connect your computer is windows only on how I feel about that."
" I also think the price point is a little high and it's gonna put it out of the budgets of the few kind of normal people."
" Also there's no on board speakers if you want to share them."
" Astronomy planetarium aspect of with more than one person you're gonna need headphones player we're gonna have to connected to an external speaker. It's not the end of the world but it is a bit of an inconvenience."
" And now the pros it is ultra lightweight and ultra portable."
" It's so easy to use going non geek -- as much as I did and wants to know when we're buying one for our family news."
" It is loaded. With the information the mythology alone is a good reason to hide this thing I learn stuff about stars and planets and I didn't know and I've been looking up since I was in short pants."
" Finally because of the SD slot and the ability to connect to your computer."
" As scientists discover new stars in remote planets like Pluto out of the solar system and expand our universe -- Skype Skype database is never going to be out of date or obsolete."
" The bottom line it's a planetarium. In the palm of your hand and I."
" very cool yeah it's a it's weird you know like I love the neo. And then I did this device and I love this device late pictures it the next thing that I'm gonna get to review for individuals can have to be like -- you could. After that things are these things are really really cool I I I love it I just wish that the price was lower. Is it does do a ton of stuff there is a ton of technology packed in this tight little package and I get that you know expensive like a laptop would be expensive. But for hobbyists. I think it's out of hobbyists."
" Yeah I mean those 200 dollars who's the only find it for education night. It comes across as a lot of the genres. In now let's look at the device that you use necessary every single -- yes right so. Obvious I mean is don't buy gifts for people are four dollars that's in nineteen -- it -- special but."
" I know excellent restaurant is a fantastic company and make really really great products I love their telescopes and I think it's a really great addition."
" Two to anyone's sort of scientific gadget collection and if you're interested in astronomy at all you have. Like you know kids that might be interested and her friends this product is a terrific way to introduce them to it to backyard astronomy. Prefer -- an astronomy here I'm gonna plug this blog that I love it's called the bad astronomy blog this -- scientist and author and skeptic. And that debunks bad science and and also links up. Really really great informative photos of all kinds of cool Hubble space telescope stuff and so that's the bad astronomy blog so what tell him ice age."
" Well another really really cool thing check out is this HD camera. War war war."
" Com a digital cameras and can corridors have never been known for their functionality styling and performance. Patches and again and now this is the new Sanyo HD exactly. And for anyone us wondering shoots HD seven when he. On video and you can record small city of sizes like. 320 by 248 or 1280 by seven. And they're for like three -- sixteen by nine widescreen. The videos are recorded to the well known and export format H teaching features and options. Like white balance and shutter speed is also. Four X seven point one mega pixels and basic account that's right. Seven point one and it shoots in JPEG format in in low light situations. Houses built in flash. And they only need one CCD that you couldn't tell the videos and pictures are bright eyed and of course it depends on how well an Carey is glad. But compared to most consumer camcorders out there HDT is there again. Now for -- to the price down there is no internal memory everything historic right here on dynasty site for instance the one gig SD card -- about fourteen minutes of HD quality video. So you're gonna -- a long family trip it going to want to take a lot of these. Most digital cameras are usually cluttered with buttons and this can be confusing and frustrating for the average mom and dad. Well you can't get more civil than this one button pressing one button for taking pictures one button for recording video atop the button to navigate. Zoom in and out switch and one button notes which for playback -- camera. And very practical docking station is included where you can plug -- and I component USD and AV cables to watch all you recorded HD content. HDTV. I only had to -- about it the first is that on off switches in a very inconvenient place underneath the screen right there. This jacket is that there's no internal memory at the very least they could given -- 112 megabytes for -- camera. All of -- HD camera on the go. This is the way ticket."

" Right so depend upon the TV that -- is shown on the how it shoots. Is beautiful I love. The whole four and I love the fact you can take pictures and video at the same time. And -- thought you have to switch settings and things you know Atlantic."
" We who spend time with complicated gadgets and like getting into things in and tweaking every tiny little settings can sometimes lose site. Like the elegant simplicity of two buttons on -- device and I really love that one of my favorite things about the Apple TV for example is that super simple little remote control yet but I just really like that I was I was I would like that important. That was so simple and so he's apparently easy to use and price point means HD cameras. But now. Man you gotta buy those memory cards and that is really gonna add up over time writing."
" Rob Mac well hope for geeks about under a hundred bucks now it's still what you're spending. That it was like 800. And hundreds like it while those night Aggies nine -- 1000 dollars scenario the location what you think it's much more."
" So this product at 800 dollars is awesome is this product at 1100 dollars awesome."
" Now right now you can almost gained."
" Other ranges -- out because if you have to buy all those SD cards you know you're gonna drag priced at two dollars and it might not be as awesome that's portability."
" It's so portable so article so that that that's -- unrest producers Steven."
" Well that form factor hey Leo. Takes every rank and you -- without cameras. -- you don't always have to --"

" We cater to individual pride ourselves on being 100% accurate all the time."
" But sometimes things all through the cracks. For example this big deal well home -- as the -- that yellow hold up a lot. Confused we'll -- you sort of ten or so Apple stores best buy circuit city's we call them fine. On the outside that you home adopt the lots is pretty much identical to the original except for the -- White House which missing on the new version. The big changes come on the inside where it's all the while the issues we had the original. It's not just a glorified docking station -- you home -- a lot switching happy video on the big screen. Instead of having to look at -- tiny iPod screen like the previous version. Instead of a boring music -- with the usual artist and title there's album art album art always makes this we look fresh bite Apple TV. Okay that's a stretch of the home down to locks in magnifying -- to see the art. Let's still looks better than it did earlier this show. Want to personalize your homes up to lots of now there's a rainbow colors on screen menus does -- to be exact and screen savers galore. And I can actually navigate videos on the screen but that's not true -- you still happens which iPod remote access so maybe that C."

It's still visually appealing in the Apple TV but you Albania better partner for -- the Apple TV does who are other things. But I would argue fundamentally you the same thing they take content from computer to display television. And for that these new home got -- lots. That's a decent job I give them mark the recommendation. Exactly improvement over the would buy this you original."
