Until today I had been completely decided on the 52' Sony Bravia XBR4. This was based on a few things: 1) I've been a Sony fan for sometime and have never had a problem with their products 2)this particular set has the features I want in the price I was willing to spend 3) Consumer reports has rated the Sony Bravia line # 1 in both 52" and 47" lcds in their most recent review. Now then, today I decided to go around to a few of my local tv repair shops. I found some of these folks to be more knowledgable than others as one might expect. Of 5 repair shops I soke to today all 5 told me to stay far and clear away from SONY!!! I was devestated. The reasons they gave varied slightly but all shared the thought that Sony's service is horendous. 1 of the shops no longer repairs Sony sets because of a Sony restructuring that took their license away, the other 4 however refuse to service Sony sets.

I don't know if there is anyone else out there trying to repair electronic items and is having problems finding parts etc. It could just be an area where members could post components or partial boards sections of appliances etc. and members could respond with the parts they had. This idea would definitely need some fine tuning but it is just a suggestion.

You change channels through the cable box. I've seen people post on sites that they had trouble w/the board in it somewhere around 1 year of ownership. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it a rumor? It's making me consider buying an extended warranty which I would never do otherwise always thinking what I buy is well research and a good product. In this case, I went to the store w/another tv in mind and got switched into one I hadn't researched. Thanks for any input. -Capri News, Rumors, and Trends Tue, 22 Jan 2008 18:06:48 GMT Capri http://www.techlore.com/forum/thread/20725/KLV-40U100M-Sony-Monitor/#discussion?src=103 http://www.techlore.com/forum/thread/20610/Microsoft-Grocery-Cart/?src=103 Now this is technology you can use! Microsoft and MediaCart Holdings Inc have combined both their genius and their lust forinternet-based digital advertising revenue (especially since Microsoft acquired aQuantive, a $6 online ad firm) to bring us a screen that mounts to the front of your grocery cart, and streams ads from the Internet. This is the bad news. The good news is that you can evidently log into this puppy from home, upload your grocery list, then swipe your card on the cart when you grab it and it will not only show you your list but help you find your items (via RFID ). Of course, this comes at the additional cost of big brother's watching your every move, tracking shopping patterns, etc. Your cart will now even keep a running tally of your total, etc, as long as you scan your items as you put them in the cart. How far can we really be at this point from eliminating the checkout lines all together? ShopRite supermarkets on the East Coast will be the test market for the latest in my-shopping-cart-needs-a-firmware-update technology in late 2008.

Produced by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, the 2008 International CES, the world’s largest tradeshow for consumer technology, runs through today in Las Vegas, Nevada. The inaugural CES Industry Insider Program, “Technology and Emerging Countries: Advancing Development Through Technology Investment,” kicked off Wednesday morning with an opening keynote address from Nicholas Negroponte , founder of the One Laptop Per Child Project (OLPC) and the MIT Media Lab. Negroponte spoke passionately about OLPC's goal of eliminating poverty in third-world countries through education. He explained that most of the nearly two-billion children in developing countries are poorly educated, suggesting that,"We must restore, introduce and create the passion for learning in children." Negroponte’s non-profit organization has developed the XO laptop for use in third-world countries which typically have no electricity. The laptop...

Do you see yourself building your own gadget? Have you heard of BugLabs ? Neither had I until CES 2008. The Bug Labs "platform" is evidently the "legos of high tech gadgets" - allowing you to start with a control "brick" (called the "Bug Base"), and plug in extensions to create various kinds of gadets. Available extensions include cameras, large screen, usb keyboard, motion detector, GPS device, accelerometer, and on and on. So new and innovative and different was it that it even walked away with an award from CNET . The platform is militantly open source (not just the software, but the hardware as well, so you can build your own extensions), highly versatile, pretty expensive ($350ish for the base, and $100 per extension), and seems targetted at the serious gadget geek. What do you think? Would it work for you? For all of you who loved legos, would you love this too? And if you're drooling, then you can even get an early adopter discount! So, who's hosting the next BOYG (build your own gadget) party? Also, check out this video from the CNET Stage .

My thought: "Yeah, right!" Don't get me wrong, I'd love for my cell phone to have a night high-res camera (I'd settle for 6 megapixels over the current 1.2; don't really need 12), and I'm all over high-definition video. But I have to say I'm skeptical that such technology will be available any time soon. And even if it is, adding a $5,000 chip (my crazy estimate) to your cell phone will definitely not drive up sales numbers. Then there's the size, and the heat, and the gamma radiation... okay, maybe not that bad. I can totally hear them saying, "We've got this cool chip, and you can now do all this nifty stuff on your cell phone, but your phone is now 2"x3"x5", will burn your hand to touch it, and gives you hip cancern in 10 years."

What caught my eye about this article was a quote that's evidently engraved on a plaque outside Bose's office ... "At every crossroad on the road that leads to the future, each progressive spirit is opposed by a thousand men appointed to guard the past." So, my question... Which one are you?
