Remote Possibilities: Gaming gets out of the box and into the living room
(Mar 1, 2006, Wild Blue Yonder / Frontier Airlines In-Flight Magazine) |
|
| |
It's close, but my Chicago Bears are winning. The hateful Washington Redskins are making a furious comeback though, slicing through our defense like it's not even there. I am anxious, yelling like I have some control over the outcome. |

Sexy BlackBerry puts love of Treo to the test
(Feb 4, 2006, Chicago Tribune) |
|
| |
Every morning for the last four years I've pocketed the same three things before setting off for the day: my keys, my wallet and my Treo smart phone.
This routine may be changing. |

LETTER FROM CES: In the city of Las Vegas -- or is it the Microsoft booth?
(Jan 7, 2006, Chicago Tribune) |
|
| |
LAS VEGAS -- This weekend, 135,000 tech types are in the midst of their annual pilgrimage here to the high-tech worship service known as the International Consumer Electronics Show.
Among them are exhibitors, buyers and 4,500 media members--including me.
On a certain level I am a reluctant attendee, anticipating the geeky, stressful, claustrophobic, numbing, outrageous experience that is CES. |

2006 CES: Prime time for TV content
(Jan 7, 2006, Chicago Tribune) |
|
| |
LAS VEGAS -- Battle lines for how we will watch television are being drawn at this week's Consumer Electronics Show.
A slew of products, services and concepts are being touted that may change the programming we receive, the way we receive it, the way we watch it, and even the kinds of companies that will provide our television content. |

2006 CES: A computer for your stereo system
(Jan 6, 2006, Chicago Tribune) |
|
| |
LAS VEGAS -- Near the back of the massive south convention hall at this year's Consumer Electronics Show is a tiny 10-by-10 foot booth occupied by an Arlington Heights company called Ace Computers.
Though it's a mere speck within this week's show, which spans over 2 million square feet of convention space traversed by 130,000 high-tech industry types, Ace Computers has managed to pick up one of the event's most prestigious awards.
But that didn't help it get a bigger booth. |

THE PRICE OF TECHNOLOGY: It pays to wait when shopping for gadgets
(Dec 17, 2005, Chicago Tribune) |
|
| |
Steven Jones has done some serious technology shopping this year. So far, he has purchased a laptop, a smart phone, an iPod Nano, an iPod capable of playing videos, a PlayStation Portable and a Slingbox.
"I have to buy things early," the River Forest resident said. "I'm a gadget guy."
But while early adopters almost always pay the price for new technology now, this year's tumbling technology prices are proving that patience is indeed a virtue when it comes to gadget shopping. |

PORTABLE DIGITAL VIDEO PLAYERS: Big hurdles hinder race to tiny screen
(Dec 3, 2005, Chicago Tribune) |
|
| |
At his Wauconda home, Rich Wacaser uses two ReplayTV digital video recorders to capture his favorite shows for later viewing.
Because they're connected to his home's computer network, he often watches the shows on his laptop, catching up on the latest "Grey's Anatomy" at 30,000 feet during a business trip.
"I transfer the video to my laptop's hard drive so I can pick from the recorded shows and watch what I want," he said.
But a growing group of big-name technology companies want consumers like Wacaser to go even further and watch their video like they listen to their music: on small, specialized hard-drive-based players. |

DIGITAL PICTURE GIFTS: Photo Opportunities
(Nov 26, 2005, Chicago Tribune) |
|
| |
Linda Kurtzman proudly displays pictures of her children and grandchildren in the kitchen. But these are not printed pictures, nor are they being viewed on one of the several computers she has in her Buffalo Grove home.
Kurtzman's family pictures rotate on an Internet-enabled electronic picture frame called the Ceiva Digital Photo Receiver. It downloads pictures sent nightly by her five children.
"I've had computers in the house as long as they've been around, but it's the location," Kurtzman said. "The kitchen is the focus of our house, and I look at these pictures every time I'm in the kitchen." |

Podcasts: Blogs You Can Hear
(Nov 1, 2005, Wild Blue Yonder / Frontier Airlines In-Flight Magazine) |

You probably didn't know this, but Al Franken and George W. Bush have something in common (Hint: it's not their mutual love of politics.)
So do ESPN, NPR, the BBC and Newsweek. (Hint: it's not their focus on the news.)
And, although you've probably never heard of them, Leo LaPorte (host of This Week in Tech, or, as he calls it, TWIT), and Andrew Figgins (host of Cubscast) have something in common too. |

Confused? You're Not Alone
(Sep 1, 2005, Chicago Tribune) |
|
| |
You have every right to feel hopeless, confused and defeated. You've been through a lot. But know this: You are not alone.
That's because there are millions of people shopping for an HDTV-and millions more thinking about getting one-and they're all as overwhelmed as you are.
Who can blame you?
To shop for an HDTV you have to learn a new, rather scientific language from people who aren't very good teachers. (How many of those high-school aged sales associates at your local electronics store make any sense to you?). |
