Despite the growing popularity of HDTV and the rising sales of HDTV sets, most of the TV content that's watched on HDTV sets is in standard definition television- the older format that's been around since the dawn of broadcast TV more than half a century ago. There are two major reasons for this. The most obvious reason is that there are still far more standard def channels than there are HDTV channels.

Microsoft recently introduced its latest project - The Origami. I know, I know..origami is the ancient art of paper folding. So what has this name got to do with Microsoft latest component? Nothing - so it is being changed to Ultramobile PC.

As much as American's love their electronics, the manufacture, use, and disposal of electronic devices all represent hazards to the environment and ultimately to human health.

There have been a lot of great developments lately in the areas of television, phone, and Internet technology. These developments all have the promise of making the time that we spend on entertainment and communication a lot more productive and enjoyable, so it only makes sense that a company like Time Warner Cable would bundle all three of the best technologies in each category together and offer them for one low monthly fee.

It used to be that cable TV was the technology of choice for getting TV programming. This was true even with the early availability of satellite TV, but satellite TV at the time was too expensive for most people to afford, and even those who could afford it still had to contend with the massive satellite dishes that the technology of the time required.

HDTV owners are faced with a very real challenge when it comes to figuring out what to watch on their new High Def sets. After all, with only a handful of HDTV channels available from most service providers and and the fact that the high def DVD format war is still very much undecided (though a lot of indications point towards Sony's Blu-ray format coming out on top).

Three dimensional TV, or 3D TV as it will undoubtedly come to be called, is sure to become a winner when it comes to market in the future. This futuristic way of watching TV has been envisioned for years.

Every once in a while it's a good idea to take a look at what kinds of TV display technologies are out there and run through how they're doing compared to each other.

Over the past decade, there has been a phenomenal amount of crossover between computer technology and TV technology. This is especially surprising given the fact that most Americans have largely rejected the idea of a living room computer. However, most of the computer technology that has found its way into the living room hasn't had the overt appearance of a personal computer.
