  1. Re:Weird findings regarding IE on Amazon's Search Engine Goes Live · · Score: 1

    I would accept this much better than what http://search.msn.com shows up for me Kbr> Search for web browser in MSN Search.. It talks all about IE & IE tool bar but not about any of these browsers !!!

  2. Re:thoughts on Reviews for Digital Camcorders? · · Score: 3, Informative
    I did similar research last year and ended up in buying JVC 725 ( http://hardwarecentral.dealtime.com/xPF-JVC_GR_DVL 725 )

    Only after using it for few months, i realised my real requirements.. !!!

    • Mini DV / Hi8 doesn't make a difference. As long you can move in the data to the computer you are fine. ( Last Mini DV was bit pricy than Hi8 )
    • Firewire port is mandatory. That time,I didn't know how to use it, spoke with JVC support and finally stumbled upon Pinnacle. I am serious it makes a difference..
    • Locking up all the great events in Camcorder casettes is pain in the butt, You can never show it to others or you can't even watch it for yourself.. after a period of time, you have so many cassettes, you don't know which one has what ??..
    • Instead of buying a Pricy Camcorder for say $1200 - $1500. Split them and buy them, and buy the following, you will really enjoy it much better.

    1. Camcorder ( MiniDV ) - $500
    2. DVD Burner - $100
    3. Pinnacle - $30-50 ( with rebate )
    4. eXtra Harddisk(200GB) - $100
    5. Firwire card - $20
    6. DVD Media - $25 ( 25 number )

    For a total of $780 - $800 you can shoot movies, edit them the way you want ( it is really simple), burn them into DVDs, & watch them relaxed...

    Trust me it works.. I did the same last year, but DVDs were expensive.. so i burned them in VCD & SVCD formats.. shitty quality when compared with DVD.. still much better than playing with my cassettes.. !!!
