about tech talk

I am pretty savvy when it comes to tech...I am especially knowledgeable when it comes to LCD and Plasma TV's. If you have a question regarding the digital turn over, or regarding purchasing new electronics, here is the place to ask them! The salesmen at the electronics stores are just that, salesmen...they don't know most of what should be known when selling electronics. Do your research first.

Does anyone know how to send someone an e-mail and make their CD eject activate. I've gotten this a long time ago. You send an e-mail to some one and tell them that you're sending the driver to install a cup holder on their computer. Then when they click on the "driver" their CD drawer comes open.

Can someone explain contrast ratio and what a good one is?

I've got a computer question. Would having a speaker next to the tower affect Windows? I about the magnet in the speaker, because I know that you are not supposed to put a speaker next to a monitor.

I like plasma, the contrast ratio is much higher and the images are smoother...

Here is a blog I wrote about the difference. http://www.wral.com/golo/blogpost/3026819/

I am looking to buy a 5o'' Flat screen. Is there really that much difference between LCD and Plasma? I have not been to anyone's house where the picture was a clear as I thought it should be. Any suggestions?

If you are into TV's check out this company and keep an eye on them. Big things are coming

Possible dumb question, but here goes - I recently bought a HD TV, and with "basic cable" (75-ish channels) I can get HD versions of the BROADCAST channels using 11-1, 17-1, 5-1, etc. It is my understanding that the ONLY way to get HD on such CABLE channels as ESPN is to rent the converter box from Time Warner Cable and connect a few more wires.

So, exactly WHY can I get WTVD/WUNC/WRAL in HD with what I have, but have to pay the thieves at Time Warner more moola to watch ESPN broadcasts in HD? Is there a technological difference at work here, or is it just TWC trying to squeeze some more $$ from me?

Also, would a cablecard (still have to pay more to TWC?) be an option here?

Thanks to the knowledgeable folks who respond!

actually, I just searched google...there are plenty online resellers.

batteries plus...maybe

I have an Palomar Engineering AM antenna powered by a 9-volt battery. Anyone know where to get a 9-volt wall wart that will work in place of the actual battery?
