I have been trying to choose between all of the different garmin products to try to decide which aircraft satellite navigation system to buy. There are a few differences between them all including the price. I firstly liked the Garmin 496 but then when I started reading about all of the other types of garmin products I started to think that they were all good. It is a bit tricky though because I do have a budget but I also have certain requirements and I want good value for money. The Garmin 695 caught my attention as it fitted all of these requirements but then I looked at the Garmin 696 and realised that it had some functions which, although they were not on my requirements list, would be really useful to me. The problem is that it was just a bit dearer than my budget. I am in a bit of a dilemma now and I am taking a very long time making a decision because I know that once I make it, there is no changing my mind and this will be a purchase that I hope will last for a very long time so it needs to be right.

Following in the footsteps of Nintendo’s popular “Wii Fit,” the video game publisher known for the “Madden” football games is jumping into fitness software targeted mostly at women.

Electronic Arts Inc. on Thursday announced a new line, EA Sports Active, that runs on the Nintendo Wii console and aims to complement, not compete with, Nintendo’s “Wii Fit” exercise title.

Peter Moore, president of EA Sports, called the new brand, whose first title launches next March, a “somewhat radical departure from the normal game experiences we provide customers.”

EA’s sports audience has been mostly young men, who have flocked to football, soccer, basketball and hockey titles to make the company the world’s dominant player in sports video games.

But to stay competitive with rivals such as Activision Blizzard Inc., whose success with games like “World of Warcraft” and “Rock Band” seems to be weathering the recession, EA needs to continue to expand its audience.

The company’s new brand seeks to take advantage of the popularity of the Nintendo console and of exercise games. While the “Wii Fit” is already enormously popular, Moore, a former physical-education teacher, said EA’s sports software will run people through an exercise routine with a more Western approach than the Japanese company’s product.

“Wii Fit” includes activities like running, skiing as well as yoga, and it emphasizes balance as well as fitness. EA’s products will include exercises like running and lunges, as well as simulations of sports such as tennis.

The games use straps to attach the Wii’s controller and “nunchuk” attachment to a player’s body, so the fitness routines can be performed without holding the controls. It also includes a resistance band. Titles in the line will cost about $60, the same as a regular video game.

Planes are far worse polluters than trains, but if you fly on a plane that is going to be flying to your destination anyway, and your going on the plane does not mean that additional flights are necessary to accommodate everyone who wants to go to your destination, then how is that worse for the environment than going on a train?

The more weight a plane carries, the more fuel it uses. Thus even if it is a small difference, the emptier the plane is the more efficient it will be.

One reason the airlines are getting rid of in flight movies is because the equipment to show them weighs 500#. So they must consider that a savings.

what is really the difference other then price. I’m using the HDMi plug that came with a $40 dvd player and the pic is great on movies and games.

the more expencive hdmi leads are gold plated for better connectivity but you will hardly notice the difference.

I have used my camera for about a year and a half now. It has a 500 MB memory stick, and everything has worked well until recently.
The memory stick seems to have decreased in size.
The icon in the display shows only about one-third full even when there are no photos in the camera, and it fills up really fast now.
Does anyone know what to do about this? Do memory sticks wear out with age?

Yes, you really should format your memory stick (in the camera’s Menu) regularly.
But, make sure you ONLY format it AFTER you have transferred all images to your computer first. Because formatting will delete everything from the memory stick/card.

So, in general…format your memory stick everytime you need to delete all the images from it…

When was the last time you formatted the card? You need to do this after each use to keep it refreshed and prevent file corruption.

Memory cards are so inexpensive now, buying a 2GB card might be a good addition to your camera bag
