26.12.2008Americans Spend $1,200 A Year On Tech Gadgets
In their annual survey, the
Consumer Electronics
Association has found that
U.S. households are spending
an average of $1,200 a
year on electronic gadgets;
the average home has 25
consumer-electronic devices,
with the top five growth
sectors being digital video
recorders, network routers or
hubs, MP3 players, cable
modems, and digital cameras.
" It's interesting to note
here that two of the fastest
movers and shakers in the CE
industry are devices that
enable home networking. The
other three products enable
consumers to create, shift or
transport digital
content ," said CEA
research analyst Elena Caudle.
Teenagers spend about $350
a year, which is about half of
their total discretionary
income, while adults with
children and teens spend up to
$500 more on CE purchases
than the national average.
30% of U.S. households
owned a router or hub (8% more
than last year), 62% owned a
cable modem (6% increase),
digital video recorders were
in 25% of U.S. households (8%
increase) while MP3 player
ownership was up 7% to 32% and
digital-camera ownership rose
to 62% of households. The five
most owned products were
televisions, 92% of
households; DVD players, 84%;
cordless phones, 82%; and
cellular phones, 76%. Other
product categories with
significant growth included
high-definition TVs, which are
in a quarter of U.S. homes.

28.04.2007PowerUser.TV e62: Finale
The PowerUser gang is back for
one more regularly scheduled
episode. This week they
discuss how robots could
demand legal rights (they
poo-poo the idea, as is to be
expected), they review the
Windows Vista system
requirements, they discover
that the Zune is making no
dent in the iPod market (
shock! ) and we revisit a
previous story about Nigeria
becoming a toxic waste
dump.
In gaming
news, Nintendo is making good
on 3.2 million Wii straps, and
of course our rambunctios gang
can't keep their dirty minds
out of the gutter. Joel Hulsey
gives his top game picks of
2006, as does Brad Wardell.
And finally we bid a fond but
somewhat bittersweet adieu to
all of the fans that have
stuck with us for 62
episodes.
We will
be back in the future with
non-scheduled "special"
episodes. Thank you to
everyone who has supported us
over the last year and a
half.
Happy

22.05.2007Microsoft kills Encarta, Wikipedia to blame?
According to the Encarta FAQ page, Microsoft is killing off the encyclopaedia--the 2009 versions, it would seem, will be the last. The MSN Encarta
websites will, with the exception of the one serving the Japanese market, all be taken down on 31 October 2009 (the Japanese version will come down on
31 December 2009). Microsoft Student and Encarta Premium will cease to be sold by June 2009. Customers with subscriptions to online content will be
reimbursed. According to Wikipedia, the first edition of Encarta was released in 1993, and in the years that followed the number of articles grew and

Yahoo's share of the search market, stock price and overall condition have deteriorated since Microsoft announced its bid Feb. 1. At the time,
Microsoft offered $44.6 billion. That's 62 percent above Yahoo's market value.

21.01.2008Acer aces out Lenovo as world's third-largest PC maker
Of the 62 million PCs shipped
in the first quarter of 2007,
the biggest story is a company
that shipped a little over 4
million units. Taiwan-based
Acer has taken hold of 6.8
percent of the global PC
market, good enough for third
place, according to market
research firm iSuppli.
After taking the No. 3
slot in worldwide notebook
sales from Toshiba in the
fourth quarter of 2006, Acer
has taken even more ground,
this time from Lenovo. The
Chinese computer maker is now
0.4 percent points behind Acer
in worldwide computer market
share.
Acer also
turned in the best growth
performance of all the top
five PC suppliers, according
to the iSuppli report. Its
shipments grew 45.8 percent to
4.2 million units, up from 2.9
million in the same quarter a
year ago. ..

22.01.2008Yahoosoft!: A Match Made in Heaven or Hell?
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past week (which, if you are, you have my sincerest condolences), by now you’ve no doubt
heard of the latest drama to hit the technology industry: Microsoft’s attempt at grafting search-engine Yahoo onto its cold steel heart with a
whopping $42 billion USD unsolicited bid, which came after Yahoo politely declined a friendly buyout agreement. If my calculations are correct
(and, more importantly, if the analysts’ calculations are correct), that’s a 62% premium on Yahoo’s current worth. Now, assuming
that good old Steven Ballmer hasn’t been struck with a case of the Tom Cruise crazies, the two top obvious questions are: “What is
Microsoft thinking?” and “How does Yahoo feel about the whole deal?”
