			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img class="size-full wp-image-905 alignright" title="just hear it" src="http://www.kidtechguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/just-hear-it.png" alt="" width="126" height="49" />There are actually billions of songs in the world and maybe dozens have just been produced after you&#8217;ve finish reading this sentence. Even though there are so many of them available on the Web, why some music fans just it quite tough to search and listen to them online or maybe make a playlist for their songs. Now it&#8217;s time to head to a flash-based online song search engine that lets you search the Web for any song you want.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.kidtechguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/any-song-legal-free.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-904" title="any song legal free" src="http://www.kidtechguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/any-song-legal-free.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="216" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Why <a href="http://justhearit.com/" target="_blank">JustHearIt</a> stands out form others is because it not only helps you search songs with ease, it even allows you to create a playlist using a drag-and-drop interface and play them in the background when you&#8217;re doing something else on the computer. The user-interface is also impressive.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span id="more-903"></span>For each search, it shows you the song, artist and album titles related to your input. To listen to it, simply click on it and don&#8217;t forget to wear your headphones in case the blaring music disturb your family members or neighbors.The playlist has basic features such as play, stop, forward, rewind, shuffle, repeat, etc.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.kidtechguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/just-hear-it-song-list.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-906" title="just hear it song list" src="http://www.kidtechguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/just-hear-it-song-list.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="142" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Of course, you can&#8217;t download any music directly from the site since it&#8217;s illegal to download songs without paying for them. JustHearIt is in private beta and users can still search, play, or create a playlist. You can participate in the beta to try out the member features. However, it&#8217;s by invitation only. As a member, you can create a media library that enables you to build your online music collection and listen to it anywhere.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You might wonder whether JustHearIt is illegal or not. Well, the folks there claims that they pay for licenses from all major performing-rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC).</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">This wonderful service is created by two young entrepreneurs and students &#8211; Nicolae Ivanescu and Cosmin Panait. Their objective of creating this free app is to &#8220;change the stereotype that free music is illegal while immersing the user in a unique visual experience&#8221;.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">With a next-generation HD format like Blu-ray still trying to gain a more stable foothold in our country, Toshiba plays it safe and wants you to meet the advanced Toshiba XD-E500 DVD Player. Consumers have embraced the DVD format like no other technology and theyâ€™ve also invested in sizeable DVD movie collections.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">As the market moves towards high definition, the XD-E500 lets them experience their existing DVD library in a whole new way. The XD-E500 offers consumers the chance to watch their existing DVD collections at near-HD resolutions, replete with enhanced detail and richer colors. Toshiba is delivering to consumers what they want: a high quality experience at an affordable price.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Surround Sound Enhances Viewing Experience</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The Toshiba XDE-500 DVD Player has Toshibaâ€™s new XDE technology on board along with Sharp, Color and Contrast Modes to provide added detail, rich colors and deep blacks. Its DVD up-scale feature lets you watch your standard definition movies in 720p, 1080i or 1080p. An HDMI connection allows for seamless flow of both video and audio data from the DVD player to the HDTV.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.kidtechguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/toshiba-xd-e500-dvd-player.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-405 alignleft" title="toshiba-xd-e500-dvd-player" src="http://www.kidtechguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/toshiba-xd-e500-dvd-player.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The HDTV also plays host to 3D Virtual Surround Sound technology, for audio thatâ€™s as pleasing as the visuals. Support for JPEG display and MP3 Playback round out its list of surface-level features. Undoubtedly, although the Toshiba XDE500 doesnâ€™t play HD DVD or Blu-Ray, it will make the very most of your standard definition DVDs and create a whole new movie experience for you.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The Toshiba XD-E500 looks like a little black box with a minimalist design philosophy. The size of an old VHS player and sporting a new look from Toshiba, it is something youâ€™ll be proud to put in your living room. During operation, youâ€™ll get a glowing white Toshiba logo, and a clear green display giving you the chapter numbers and other info about the DVD you are watching. There are hard playback buttons along the front panel that are refined and easy to use. While watching though, itâ€™s doubtful that youâ€™ll be using the said buttons as virtually all the playerâ€™s controls are operated via the well laid out remote. The remote, which is also black, gives you all the controls you want and is dedicated to the DVD player. The DVD player supports playback of standard DVDs, CDs and DivX, MP3 and JPEG, while audio formats from Dolby Digital and DTS get support too.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">While there are no options to turn the new up-scaling technologies on or off, what you do have though are three options to control the picture with three presets: Sharp, Color and Contrast. Sharp will sharpen the picture where needed rather than the whole picture, Color ups the blues and greens, while Contrast deepens the blacks. The result is a noticeable visual improvement, making your DVD collection sharper whatever you opt to play.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The Toshiba XD-E500 is an impressive up-scaling DVD player that is not only affordable but will go a long way to giving new life to your DVD collection. Itâ€™s like watching your favorite DVD movies in a new light!</span></p>

The demand for digital cameras has risen, allowing manufacturers to offer a wider range of products to an ever-ready-to-consume market. Digital SLRs, point and shoot cameras (instamatics) and even mobile camera phones now have larger file formats, better light compensation capabilities and automatic color correction and white balance functions to boot. Because of the many camera functions and properties to choose from, consumers may feel overwhelmed with the decisions they have to make in order to get the right gear for them. Do any of these specs really make sense to the user? Letâ€™s take the ZOOM property of your camera as an example. Zoom is the capacity of your camera lens to move in closer to your subject, therefore, magnifying its size in relation to your distance from the object to be shot. Your camera may boast of either of two things- optical zoom or digital zoom. Which one do you choose? Let me break it down for you.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">OPTICAL ZOOM</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Optical zoom is basically dependent on the focal length of your lens. If the standard lens that shoots what-you-see-is-what-you-get is at 35mm, a higher number in the focal length brings you closer to your subject. In other words, an 85mm lens can shoot portraits and a 10mm lens can shoot landscapes better. Depending on the focal length of your camera (check the side or the rim of your lens to find out your focal length) you can move your lens closer or further from your subject. Optical zoom allows you to shoot an image, manually bringing the lens closer to your subject, therefore creating a clearer, sharper image.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Digital zoom is a bit of a cheat. What it does is that it takes the picture of the image at the default focal length (measured in mm.) After the picture has already been taken, only then will it zoom in on the image. You may think that this wonâ€™t make a difference to the image but it does. The concept is the same when you zoom in on a picture in your computer monitor. The closer you move into the image, the bigger the pixels become and the more detail you will lose. In other words, it compromises the sharpness and quality of the image. Usually, manufacturers make sure that the file sizes of the cameras that have digital zoom are relatively bigger in order to compensate for the pixels lost in the process.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Lenses are very expensive. If you wish to take images just for keepsake and you wonâ€™t be printing your images anyway, a camera with a digital zoom will come in cheaper and more practical for you. On the other hand, if youâ€™re seriously in to photography and you need to print out your shots with crispness, detail and clarity, go for a camera with optical zoom. It may be more expensive but the measure of its quality remains unparalleled.</span></p>
