Don of the Digital Age

I was born 55 years ago in a small coal mining town in southern West Virginia, the spawn of a Jewish couple whose roots were in Poland and Russia. As I took in my first gulp of air, Harry Truman was putting the finishing touches on his administration and my first recognition of politics was the bitter pills my parents swallowed after successive defeats of Adlai Stevenson at the hands of Dwight Eisenhower.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/27/dons-journey-through-the-digital-universe/feed/ 1 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/16/can-we-say-buttkicker/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=can-we-say-buttkicker http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/16/can-we-say-buttkicker/#comments Thu, 16 Nov 2006 18:22:59 +0000 Assoc.

Editor Cohen http://www.tigerdirectblog.com/2006/11/08/high-definition-dvd-has-arrived/ If you thought you couldn’t get by without your DVD player, wait until you see a movie shown on a high-definition DVD player. The difference is stunning! Now that high-definition DVD players are on the market at last, why not go out and buy one? Two reasons – high prices, and the war between the two incompatible formats – HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. Prices on high def start at about $500, while the Blu-Ray models are around $1000. It’s possible that one of these formats won’t survive their ongoing battle, and you might just be out of luck if you buy a player that works on the losing format. Those old enough to remember a similar war between BETA and VHS video formats might note that you can still find VHS video cassette players, while their BETA counterparts are only found beneath cobwebs or on basement floors. Thus, a little patience might serve you well. However, if you can’t wait to own your own high-definition DVD player, this article will help you make your choice and also shed light on the standard DVD players available. ]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/08/high-definition-dvd-has-arrived/feed/ 0 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/08/a-sight-for-poor-eyes/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=a-sight-for-poor-eyes http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/08/a-sight-for-poor-eyes/#comments Wed, 08 Nov 2006 14:10:09 +0000 Assoc.

Editor Cohen http://www.tigerdirectblog.com/2006/11/02/ready-for-voip/ The Advantages of Internet Telephoning (and a Few Disadvantages) Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) has quickly advanced from being a novelty to a full-fledged force in the communications marketplace. Weary from paying huge phone bills, households and businesses now enjoy the dramatic savings of Internet telephone. It’s not unusual to see residential phone bills cut by $20 to $50 or more per month by switching from traditional phone lines to VoIP, which transmits your voice calls via the Internet, the same way your email is sent. While a normal telephone service transforms your voice into electronic signals, which your phone converts to sound, while VoIP technology digitizes your voice as just another bit of data. Now the major phone companies, as well as cable operators provide VoIP services, offering inexpensive local and long distance plans. Most of these providers also include an array of features similar to those offered by traditional carriers, such as caller ID, call waiting and voice mail as well as additional features such as the ability to use your home or business phone number no matter where you travel.]]> http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/02/ready-for-voip/feed/ 7 http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/02/100-million-web-sites-and-counting/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=100-million-web-sites-and-counting http://news.tigerdirect.com/2006/11/02/100-million-web-sites-and-counting/#comments Thu, 02 Nov 2006 18:07:56 +0000 Assoc.

Not the most practical phone around, you can't even dial it without using a stylus and touchscreen. Nor can you listen or talk without plugging in a headset. But think of all the things you CAN do with this phone. And when you're done thinkng, clue us in. Oh, the Xun Chi 130 does have a 1.3 megapixel camera, charmingly spelled incorrectly on the chassis.
