Sharp has some affordable bright projectors

Incorporating a 3-LCD imaging system, the 4000 ANSI Lumens XGA resolution XG-C435X multimedia Conference/Classroom Series projector represents the ultimate combination of versatility, portability and affordability (depending on what your definition of "affordability" is).

If you're going to be moving around (beware jostling those bulbs), but you might want to have a projector that has different lenses - - this one does).

Also, built in LAN terminal and audio outputs...

With built-in RJ-45 LAN terminal, quick release lens mechanism (for replacing the included "standard" lens with an optional special application lens), four discrete audio inputs, multi-level theft deterrent features and simple connectivity, the XG-C435X helps make brilliant presentations easy. Whether for use as a portable imaging solution or in a permanent "fixed" installation, with its sharp image quality, wide connectivity and flexible mounting options, from classrooms to conference rooms, the XG-C435X is the "Bright" Choice! (well, 4000 ANSI Lumens bright at least)

BATTLE RAGE: luke warm fury

Coming soon: a fledgling robot "beat-em-up"

BATTLE RAGE: THE ROBOT WARS the third person shooter with elements of a beat’em'up game that allows a player to control giant robots. Battles between the robots take place on carefully selected battlegrounds (so called “arenas”) and they are short, quick, brutal skirmishes.

The player can fight alone (versus one, two or even three opponents) or in a team against a common foe. Every robot has its own weapons (for melee and distance combat), additional weapon types can be collected on the arena.
 
  • Single player and Multiplayer modes.
  • Arcade mode with a separate Storyline for each of the robots characters.
  • Robot Customization.
  • Compelling mechanics (Rage, Rush, Power Triangle).
  • Special Attacks (push, stun and other unique abilities for each robot).
  • Robots allowed to fight with 3 weapons at the same time (two ranged and one melee).
  • 8 different robots.
  • 20 weapons.
  • 10 arenas.



It might be what your 13 year old boy might like - - and not as violent as "M" titles.

Apple is better? Oh really? No, really.

Computers are one of the most trouble-prone products Consumer Reports tracks in its annualproduct-reliability surveys. When it came to solving problems, wait time on the phone and the knowledge of support staff, Apple's tech support received high scores across the board for both laptop and desktop systems in Consumer Reports' latest survey featured in the June issue.

Consumers looking for stellar tech support should consider a Mac since Apple's topped Consumer Reports' latest Ratings of tech support services. The latest annual tech-support survey, conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center draws on subscribers' experiences with 10,000 desktop and laptop computers. Results revealed that tech support solved problems for only about 60 percent of the respondents who used it. Apple's tech support was much more successful than others, solving problems more than 80 percent of the time.

  The report which includes comprehensive Ratings and buying advice for tech-support services, desktops, laptops, all-in-ones, and monitors are available in the June issue of Consumer Reports, on sale May 6. The reports are also available to subscribers at http://www.ConsumerReports.org.

woody: klipsch speakers

When the Klipsch® industrial design team set out to create the flagship Palladium™ P-39F floorstanding loudspeaker, their goal was to have it resemble a premium piece of handcrafted furniture. And, by looking at its striking boat-tail silhouette and exotic zebra-striped finish, it’s quite obvious they hit the mark. But, less apparent is the team’s environmentally friendly approach...
