A subjective introduction to HDTV
We're starting a new Getting Started With HDTV series in Computing Unplugged Magazine. We begin our comprehensive coverage of HDTV with this article, a subjective overview of HDTV from the perspective of a new viewer. Is HDTV for you? Read Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz' article for the answer.
Geek out the vote!
When you think about technological innovations, you might think about computers, cellular phones, or even rockets. Yet none of these innovations have changed the world like the simple concept we've grown to know as voting. No matter who you support or what your cause, that single, simple action of voting connects you to free people throughout the world, back through history, and forward into an unknown, but hopeful future. This article announces a special program that should encourage you to get out, register, and vote.
Try your hand at the Computing Unplugged Tapwave Hype-a-palooza
Welcome to Hype-a-palooza. This, our first ever Hype-a-palooza, is designed to promote awareness of the underappreciated Tapwave Zodiac (and get you a ton of cool prizes). Why hype the Zodiac? The reason is pretty simple: we think it's a great product, a real innovation in the handheld market. In the future, we will likely hype-a-palooza other products that we feel are deserving of added attention.
Far Cry, a graphically stunning first-person shooter
This is a game with stunning graphics. The tropical setting is a nice change from the typical dank dungeon and industrial settings of most shooters. Carrying twice as many missions as most FPS games, Far Cry will give you many hours of enjoyment. Normally, we don't cover strictly desktop applications in Computing Unplugged, but News and Contributing Editor James Booth just begged and begged, so we had to let him run with this review. You'll be glad we did.
Hellfire: Apache vs. Hind
It's time to blow things up, rescuse some prisoners, and then do it all over again. For the in-depth details on this Hellfire: Apache vs. Hind, read this article.
Some applications of mobile ad-hoc networks
We've talked a lot about wireless ad-hoc networks, but what can you do with them? In this article, by Contributing Editor Humayun Bakht, we look at just that.
Data communication in mobile ad-hoc networks
What are some of the communications and resource management issues involved in mobile ad-hoc networks? In this article, Contributing Editor Humayun Bakht gives you an idea.
The cost of a lifetime: calculating TCO for handheld enterprise solutions
This month, we kick off our new Computing Unplugged Magazine monthly column, Keeping Score on TCO and ROI. TCO analysts Dale Troppito and Dawna Paton focus on the definition and implementation of TCO and ROI best practices, specifically for mobile enterprise solutions. This column is a "how-to" guide for value analysis techniques, the benefits of use, and pitfalls to avoid. We promise to keep our topics practical, pertinent and pithy.
