SmashingMagazine’s Online Exhibit Shows Sometimes Blurry Photography Is Good

Ok so I’m getting a new Bravia, and its either going to be a V4100 or W4100. I know how Motionflow works and how it eliminates motion blur. Turning Motionflow on does introduce some lag, which I dont want. My question is does 120hz by itself (motion enhancer turned off) do anything to reduce motion blur?

AppScout’s older sister site, Gearlog , graciously invited us to participate in her weekly Gearlog Radio podcast, which you can download for free here or on iTunes.

Also, cell phone expert Sascha Segan just couldn’t control ... more

Man, Google’s been put through the rumour mill lately, being ground up into a fine Google grist. To wit, the search/advertising/world-domination company is being accused of giving itself an unfair advantage when posting ads for itself through its AdSense system; and also that same system is being used on Al Qaeda and Hezbollah sites, meaning the terrorists are generating income from Google . Our theory? Larry Page and Sergey Brin are opium kings on the side! They give themselves... more

I downloaded and surfed around with the custom-built Nintendo Wii Web browser today, officially labeled the Internet Channel Trial Version. I was skeptical going in, but found it is fun and extremely easy to use. I was very impressed with how well-designed it was for making the most of the Wii wand controller.
