Amazon Videos On Demand

Friday, September 5th, 2008

Between work, school, studying, errands, relationships, etc., how often do you actually get to sit at home and watch your favorite show? If you are like me, the occasions to recline and watch the tube have been coming fewer and farther between. The good news however, is that Amazon Videos on Demand are available to enjoy at any time. My particular favorite is the ability to watch HEROES (30 Rock s also available) anytime, anyplace, anywhere - as long as you have an updated Flash Player. Amazon is currently offering 1 of these t.v shows/videos on demand for absolutely free, as well as the option to sign up for the Amazon T.V Pass which includes a seasons worth of programming to choose from. This is perfect timing considering the new season of Heroes is just around the corner. Anyone who is looking to catch up on what had happened during season I or II might want to look to the Amazon videos on demand, this way you wont have to either buy the set in a store or have to take up hard drive space on a download.

Acer Flat Panel 19” Monitor

Monday, September 1st, 2008

If you are heading back to school, the first thing you are going to need (after shower shoes of course) is a clear computer monitor. Prices have been substantially dropping on flat panel monitors, and between Labor Day sales and back to school time, this is really the time to buy. The Acer Flat Panel 19” Monitor will soon be available through Best Buy at a great price of $159.99 after rebate. Perfect for graphic designers or the avid movie watcher, this Acer computer monitor is thin enough to be mounted on the wall, and has a terrific 2000:1 contrast ratio for a fantastic display. The 19” wide screen flat panel also has a 1440 x 900 maximum resolution at 75Hz, meaning you will be getting an extremely clear and detailed image regardless of the colors on screen. Personally I am excited about this particular Acer monitor because it is both PC and Mac compatible, and it has a 5 ms response time to discourage any blurriness or streaking during a fast action movie, sporting event, or video game. Keep a look out at Bestbuy.com for this Acer 19” Widescreen Monitor as it is coming soon, but will assuredly sell out fast.
