Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I have a 1080p monitor, and I can tell the difference between 1080i and 720p, but then again, I sit less than 6 feet away in my NYC apartment. But you're right, it wouldn't be a big deal if I had a 720p set.
A year ago I was looking at the 37" Sharp, but I ended up getting the 37" Westinghouse for almost $1K less. The picture quality isn't as good, but it was hard to argue with the price. And now, a year later, the 42" Westinghouse costs as much as I paid last year: [link]
(Note that the Westinghouses are monitors, and not TVs, so you'll need an external tuner, like a cable box or a TiVo to use them).
Cool. Thanks a ton.
I think I'm seeing a fair number of monitors sold as TVs with a little added text, but I'm good with that. It's weird to think that my used-as-nothing-but-a-monitor a few years ago cost more than I think I should spend on a much larger monitor/TV now.
Does anybody have any suggestions for a page layout/desktop publishing tool for the Mac? Preferably in the free or cheap range.
Pages, which is part of the iWork package is pretty good. It's $79 for the iWork. You'll get Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

Oooh! I liked what I saw of Keynote.
Not that I'm putting together slide shows every week, but at that price, I just might start.
I've been emailed about 50 individual emails in Gmail in response to a request for documentation for a timeline in a lawsuit, and I want to print them out to organize. Is there an easier way to print them all than opening each one to print individually?
free the iPhone ringtones!

java,
are they all in one thread, or they in individual threads?
gMail is rolling out IMAP support. [link]
Unlike POP access, IMAP is a two-way syncing mechanism between your email client and Gmail. That is, if you mark a message as read in Thunderbird, for example, it will appear as read in Gmail. (Here's more on why IMAP is better than POP.) Gmail's IMAP support even syncs message stars, labels (as folders), as well as their Spam and Trash folders. Here's a list of IMAP client actions and how they will be reflected inside Gmail.
Wasn't someone asking about the "marking email as read from Thunderbird, etc." issue a while back?
