God's gift to Tivo and DVRs
The WD My DVR Expander is a standard eSATA external hard drive that also works beautifully with Tivo and several other common models of DVRs available from local cable providers.
I have Time Warner Cable service at home but my wife and I were always filling up the DVR built into our Time Warner Scientific Atlanta cable box. We kept filling up the DVR to 95-99 percent of maximum capacity and then having to delete old shows that we hadn't seen yet in order to make room for more shows.
After reading online that the WDG1S10000VN was compatible with our model of Scientific Atlanta cable box/DVR, we decided to give this gizmo a try. I followed the instructions (very important since the cable box is picky about how you connect a DVR expander) and then waited about 10 minutes while the cable box reset itself, formatted the DVR Expander, and then checked my DVR.
All our previously-recorded DVR shows were still there on the DVR, but when I checked the capacity of the DVR it had changed from 93 percent full to only 11 percent full! This is the greatest addition to our entertainment center since we purchased an HDTV!
Now my wife and I have space on our Time Warner DVR to record all our shows and we rarely ever fill our DVR past 15-18 percent of its new capacity. I can't say enough good things about this product. The only way it could be better is if cable companies gave you one for free when you get DVR service.
If you have a compatible DVR or Tivo and need more space to record your favorite shows, this is the best product I've seen. Buy one right away ... you'll be glad you did.

Awesome Camera Packed with Features
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 10MP Digital Camera with 12x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3 inch LCD
10.1 Megapixel Digital Camera
• Intelligent Auto Mode
Helps prevent shooting errors.
• LEICA DC Vario-Elmar Lens
25mm wide angle
• Venus Engine HD
Supports AVCHD Lite & HDMI
I love my Panasonic DMC-ZS3. First of all, I am not a camera person. I don't want to have to go to school to learn how to operate a camera. I want a point and shoot that takes great pictures with only a push of the button from me. I want a camera that forgives my shaky hands. I want a camera that can figure out the best way to to take the picture without me going through a ton of menus trying to figure out what they mean--and missing the perfect shot. AND, I want a camera I can throw in my purse and not really know it is there.
I began my pursuit of the perfect camera in February of this year. I started with a bias towards sony as I have always had a sony. So, I purchased the top of the line sony point and shoot that wasn't a touch screen. Let's just say, I was horribly, horribly, horribly disappointed and would rather have a 35 mm disposable than that camera. Panasonic had great reviews and camera people that I spoke to spoke highly of it. But at that time, the tz5 was out and not this. I found out about this and waited and waited. I was holding out for this camera over the tz5 because the zoom was greater and the video allowed you to zoom while you were taking it. So, I can't compare this to the TZ5 in real life--just from what I read.
I haven't had this camera very long so I can't give tons of detail. But one thing that struck me was that I was able to take a beautiful picture of my family about 15 feet away when the lights were very dim in the room. The sony couldn't even do that when the lights were bright in the room. I didn't expect that of this camera--after all, it is just a point and shoot with a simple flash. I was blown away.
The other thing that I loved is that I took shot after shot, close up, far away, zoom, and macro. I left the camera on the intelligent setting and it took each picture great. I had one picture that was slightly blurry but i think it was my dogs fault because he was moving some. Although it is quite possible that someone with better picture taking skills would have gotten a fine shot.
I hooked the camera up to my mac via the included cable and effortlessly downloaded the pictures into iphoto. I have not yet figured out the process for downloading video to the mac--although based on other reviews here, it can be done. I am looking forward to being able to do that. the video this camera took seemed superior to my camcorder (but it is about 5 years old). More importantly, for me, is the fact that I don't have to miss video shots because i didn't lug my camcorder around.
Another thing to note is that if you change the size of the MP, you can increase the optical zoom. With 10MP it zooms 12X but with 3 MP (i think), it zooms 21 times. Since I don't take pictures so that I can blow them up to poster size, reducing the MP isn't a problem for me. And I can see great benefit to having 21X zoom.
Over the last few months of searching for the perfect camera I have read many reviews, talked to many people and I certainly feel that I have made a wise decision. I also think it is worth every penny--even if you have to pay full retail price.
I did choose to get the extended warranty because with the TZ5 there were some reports of the shutter not always opening or the zoom breaking. I never got the impression it was a large amount of cameras with the problem but I didn't want to risk it. I haven't heard those same reports with the ZS3, but it is still very new so I wanted to be cautious.
UPDATE: after playing with the camera another day, we discovered the AF locking feature. I don't know what that means and don't care to look in the manual--but what it does is astounding. you push the button to lock in on the subject object you want to get a picture of. the subject can be moving--i moved my head around in circles nonstop, rocked back and forth, etc. and the picture took a clear picture of me--how did that happen? I didn't stop moving. Then we tried it while making the camera go in circles but the object stayed in place. we also bounced the camera--again, clear pictures----WOW. You could take great pictures while riding a bumpy train! I didn't know about this feature when I bought the camera and I have to say that this is an awesome, exciting surprise!! I can't wait to find out if there are any more!

Thinking of Buying a New Netbook?
Netbooks are incredibly popular, and with good reason. Not only are they compact enough to slip easily into a bag or rucksack, they're also much lighter than most laptops, so they're a popular choice for people who need to carry a computer everywhere they go. Price is also a big part of their appeal and netbooks typically cost much less than standard ultra-portable laptops.

Netbooks are tough enough for kids to use at school (and inexpensive enough to replace if lost or stolen), and are ideal as a second or third computer, for use at — or away from — home.
Netbooks are capable computers that can be used for a wide range of tasks. There are some important differences between netbooks and traditional laptops though, so if you're thinking of buying one, here are the main things to be aware of.
Storage
Storage capacity should be a consideration for any computer you buy, but netbooks (and laptops, for that matter) aren't easily upgradeable, so it pays to choose a model that suits your needs from the start. Two types of storage are available on netbooks — hard drives and solid-state drives.
Netbooks are available with hard drives with similar capacities to traditional laptops — anything up to around 160Gb, at the moment. While it's unlikely that you'll be carrying a large music or photo collection around on your netbook, a large hard drive will mean that you can install all of the applications you want and not have to worry about running out of space.
Unfortunately, while they can hold lots of data, hard drives are fragile and if you're buying a netbook because you want a computer you can toss into a bag at a moment's notice (something for which netbooks are ideal), they may not be the best choice. The alternative is a netbook with a solid-state drive, or SSD. SSDs work in a similar way to memory cards, and since they have no moving parts they're far more resistant to the bumps and bangs then laptops tend to be. The catch is that SSDs are quite pricey, which means many netbooks come with low capacity drives to keep costs down.
One useful way of supplementing netbook storage is to use an online storage service — essentially personal space on the internet for your own files that you can access from any computer. Some netbooks come bundled with free online storage, but there are a number of other paid-for services available.
Due to their small size and low price, netbooks do not have an internal optical drive, so you'll need to connect an external USB optical drive if you want to install software from CD or DVD. This is an important consideration if you intend to listen to a lot of CD music or watch movies from DVD.
Battery Life
Netbooks may be small and light enough to carry everywhere you go, but they're not much use with a flat battery and no nearby mains socket. Battery capacities differ from netbook to netbook — some models have low capacity batteries that only last for a couple of hours, while others can stretch to three or four between charges.
Some netbooks combine a high capacity battery with customisable power settings to push battery life still further. When connected to mains power, you can use a high performance mode and switch to a more frugal power-saving mode when away from the mains. Some netbooks use this technology to offer battery life of up to ten hours, which can be enough for a whole day's work on the road.
It's important to note, however, that the battery life of all netbooks is affected by what they're used for. You'll get the longest battery life with word processing and light web browsing, while running multiple or processor-intensive applications will reduce battery life dramatically.
Which Operating System?
Netbooks are available with a choice of operating systems, either Microsoft Windows or Linux.
Windows is the most popular operating system in the world and you almost certainly use it on other computers you have access to. Windows-based netbooks will work without modification with many devices and software you may already own, including printers, cameras, MP3 players, external disc drives and software packages such as games. This can be important depending on how you plan to use it – you may not be pleased to find your new netbook isn’t compatible with your camera, or requires a lengthy set-up process to be.
If you choose to purchase a Windows-based netbook you will have access to additional free software and services provided by Microsoft in the form of Windows Live. Free features like photo editing and organising, mail & calendar for use offline, movie making, messaging and family safety are all just a download away.
The alternative is a netbook that runs Linux. Its unfamiliarity may be a deterrent to some, but some netbooks use a customised version of Linux that hides the more complicated features away behind a user-friendly interface that even small children can get to grips with.
A netbook that runs Linux can't run the same applications that run on Windows, although some, like Firefox, are available for both operating systems. Linux netbooks do usually come with a full set of applications pre-installed (which can help cut costs), and some will work in a similar way to — and may be compatible with — their Windows counterparts.
If you are planning on purchasing a netbook as a second computer it is also worth considering the compatibility with your other PCs, as this may affect your ability to synch data between the devices, transfer files, and perform the same tasks across all machines.
Connectivity
If you're buying a netbook so that you can access the internet wherever you are, it's important to choose a model with connectivity options that suit your needs. All models can connect to wired Ethernet networks and 802.11b/g networks, but some netbooks also support 802.11n for super-fast Wi-Fi network connections.
If you want to use mobile broadband, all netbooks have at least two USB ports into which you can plug a 3G broadband dongle. Some newer netbooks also have onboard 3G, so you just need to sign up for a mobile broadband account and slip the SIM card into the built-in slot. If you have a 3G mobile phone with Bluetooth, you can connect it to a netbook with Bluetooth and use it as a wireless 3G modem — just make sure your mobile phone provider's terms and conditions allow it.
Warranties
One final thing to consider when buying a netbook is the warranty. A one-year UK warranty is standard on most models, although some manufacturers offer the option of extending this to two years (usually for a fee). Some netbook manufacturers do offer a two-year warranty as standard though, so check the small print before buying.
The type of warranty is also worth noting. 'Collect & return' is the most convenient, since the manufacturer will arrange for a faulty netbook to be collected and returned once repaired. 'Return to base', on the other hand, means you'll have to pay the delivery cost yourself.
Microsoft Office
One of the great things about netbooks is that it's as easy to work on the train with them as it is to work on your sofa or in bed. By having Microsoft Office on your netbook, you'll know that you've got the tools to get your home, work or school tasks done quickly and easily. Also, with the new graphic options available in Office 2007, you'll be able to make sure they always look great.
Use templates to quickly get the family finances in order, create a personalised party invite, or a stunning school project and then store them in Office Live Workspace. Office Live Workspace is the online companion for Office that lets you work on documents from any PC as well as share with your family or friends. You can share a calendar, access homework from school or plan a holiday with others, and it makes working on your netbook as well as another PC a lot easier.
Home and Student 2007 comes with the familiar Word, Excel and PowerPoint - essential for attractive school or work presentations - and OneNote. OneNote 2007 is a notetaking programme designed to make it easy to jot your thoughts down, grab information from the web, collate research for a project and then be able to search it all. It's simple to use and handy when you’re on the move.
If you're using Microsoft Office at home or work, using Office on your netbook means you won't have to worry about differences in formats or documents. It'll also be familiar to use, so it's easy to get up and running. And if you buy Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, you will receive three licences, allowing you to install it on your Netbook and upgrade your home PC.
