Is It Blu-ray? Or Not? - You've seen the recent blogs about how nine of the top 10 best-selling items so far this holiday shopping season are gadgets -- but how about them Ugg boots!Seriously, we've seen how this is the season of Blu-ray and this isn't the season for Blu-ray. Honestly, what do you think?For me personally, I'm still busy with DVDs, some PayPerView and even some old video cassettes if the movie is good enough -- but granted, those DVDs do look better!So I'm not too close to plunking down greenbacks for Blu-ray, but if the hardware prices keep drop, drop, dropping and the software prices keep drop, drop, dropping, then perhaps I will take the plunge.But how many gadgets can I stack up in an AV home theater system anyway?... Green Becoming the Color of Gadgets - Environmental concerns are playing an even bigger role in consumer electronics. To state it plainly, the world of gadgets is becoming increasingly eco-friendly. You can see this all across the landscape, from better product designs, lower power usage and better end user responsibility -- unplug those desktops at night, OK? But what more can we do? We have so many of these wondrous devices, large and small? What else can we do about waste disposal, energy conservation and other environmental issues so that we all become more environmentally conscious consumers at the same time that companies become more environmentally responsibl...

Office Communicator clients cannot communicate with AOL Contacts Problem Solved - Scott Oseychik over on the MSDN blogs has a good post today about federation issues between OCS 2005/2007 and AOL.

I told you it was going to be a Blu-ray Christmas! - I hate to say I told you so, but today's PriceGrabber.com gadget report on Black Friday sales, once again proves my opinion that this Christmas will be a "black" Blu-ray Christmas! My opinion goes against conventional wisdom that Blu-ray won't succeed, and that streaming HD using Roku/Netflix, and cable providers offering HD content is now closing the window of opportunity for Blu-ray. I'm not buying that theory. Additionally, several other articles, i... Momentum Building for Fuel-Cell Development - Thanks to recent changes in government regulations, a reliable, long-lasting fuel cell to power today's electronic gadgets may be right around the corner. "We are closer, much closer, than even two years ago in terms of the companies' internal designs, how they've met their milestones and just the amount of testing and evaluation that's going on right now," said Sara Bradford, an energy and power systems consultant for Frost & Sullivan.Now wouldn't that be nice!Cars next, please!

... Not Even Half of Old PCs Get Reused ... Sad - Worldwide demand for used PCs is greater than supply, yet less than half of PCs entering the secondary market get reused.Only one in five PCs targeted for reuse find their way from a mature to a developing economy, tech consulting firm Gartner said in a report. Of those machines that actually make it, only 44% get used. Major hindrances include export tariffs and high transportation costs. "The secondary PC market offers great opportunity to specialized intermediaries, resellers, or vendors, but it is a highly fragmented and competitive market," Gartner analyst Meike Escherich said in a statement. Refurbished PCs typically offer equal or b... Gadgets Help Drive Black Friday Sales - Despite one of the worst economic climates in decades, consumer spending on Black Friday hit $10.6 billion, 3% higher than the day after Thanksgiving in 2007, according to researcher ShopperTrak. Gadgets accounted for nine of the top 10 most popular Black Friday products, PriceGrabber said. Data from PriceGrabber.com shows that online consumers are taking advantage of promotions on popular electronics, including LCD and plasma TVs, Blu-ray disc players, digital SLR cameras, laptops and video game consoles.

Disney World Deal - Buy 4 Nights, Get 3 Free - Knowing I'm a Disney fanatic, Rich just sent me this amazing Disney World deal that gives you 3 nights free and includes Disney World theme park tickets.

Bittorrent Kills VoIP - Game Over Man! - An interesting article at the Register claims that a recent uTorrent decision to use UDP for P2P file transfers (instead of TCP) to get around ISP "traffic management" restrictions will cause a meltdown of the Internet. Poppycock you say? It's worth pointing out that traditionally P2P sharing apps such as Bittorrent, use TCP not UDP. So why would UDP cause VoIP apps to fail? Well for one huge reason, TCP allows for congestion control. First, the article explains: Gamers, VoIP and video c... Black Friday Results are in! - It appears it just might be a Merry Christmas even with the doom & gloom surrounding the economy. I guess President-elect Barack Obama must be the Messiah, since he's already creating miracles and he hasn't even been sworn in yet.

Cyber Monday Amazon Deals - Amazon has a special landing page listing all their Cyber Monday deals. Amazon doesn't call it "Cyber Monday" but rather the "Black-Friday-After-Thanksgiving-Sale", so this landing page should be good until Christmas. Maybe they were afraid Cyber Monday was patented, kinda like their one-click ordering patent. ... It's Going to be a Blu-ray Christmas -
Some experts are skeptical about whether consumers will buy Blu-ray DVD players this Christmas - I am not one of them. Many are saying it's going to be a "blue" Blu-ray Christmas. I disagree. I went shopping for a cheap Blu-ray DVD player on Black Friday, with one bargain special at Wal-Mart offering a $128 Blu-ray player. This was one of the biggest deals offered by Wal-Mart on Black Friday, and one was to wonder if this deal was part of the draw for the raucous crowd that stampeded and killed a Wal-Mart employee.

Killing off Vampire Power for Good! - It's been called both "vampire power" and "phantom load" -- likened to the power-hungry HAL 9000 computer (at left) in Stanley Kubrick's classic film 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's the little unblinking red light on the television set that is silently drawing energy from the grid; studies have shown it can add 10% or more to a household energy bill.Now Spanish entrepreneurs claim to have invented a way to end the problem that has bedeviled energy regulators, environmentalists and appliance manufacturers. They have patented an algorithm that can detect when an appliance is in standby mode and automatically switch it off comple... It's Black Friday! America's Retailers Need You! - Yes, Black Friday it is!(And did you know about Black Friday the movie?)And gadget retailers (and all others, too!) are looking for you to make your contribution to their coffers!Now, I know it may have been hard (very hard), even too hard, to get up before the rising sun to hit those eager merchants at 5 AM when the best (very best) deals could be had, but there is still plenty of time today to either hit the pavement for a real physical visit or simply click the keyboard to do some stylish online shopping.Whatever your choice, get out there and do it!
Tags: ... Making Black Friday Deals Easy - You know I scoured all of the flyers and online ads to put together a great list of Black Friday deals, but seems Gizmodo has just plain beat me to it!

If you know how to survive, this is the only Black Friday deal list you need. Get it all here.

I still consider my xv6700 one of the top 5 Windows Mobile phones available.

In its battle for the hearts and minds of gamers, Sony is developing a robust social-networking component to its PlayStation 3 console. The new element, to be called Home, has been in beta testing for weeks and allows users to explore an online world with avatars that can travel from one virtual place to another. While it's not exactly a world like World of Warcraft or Linden Labs'Second Life, Home is the most ambitious push by any console maker into creating a virtual world for gamers.

NFL Goes 3-D - When the National Football League broadcasts next week's San Diego-Oakland game to theaters in three cities, it will mark the first time that the league has used 3-D technology during a live event.

National Resources Defense Council and consulting firm Ecos have found that gamers could save $100 a year if they turn off their consoles when they are not in use. That means you guys in the photo! The pair also recommends that game console manufacturers look to include power management features in their next generation of consoles. The authors said the industry should adopt automatic power-down features and make it easier for consumers to locate these features. Idle machines consume nearly as much energy as when machines are turned on.The XBox 360, for example, has a power-down feature, but it's turned off by def...

Perez-Fernandez provides a damaging list of factors now facing the company and the stock, all of which add up to a deteriorating position in a market where competition is heating up considerably.
