It's time for me to upgrade my photo gear so I'm hoping to get some recommendations form the group. For the past few years I've used a Canon S3is because I found it to be the best compromise between an easy to use point and shoot and a more flexible SLR. It worked fine for a while, but I now...

I picked up a Zenith Silver Sensor indoor antenna (http://www.digitalhome.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=40741&page=3) for about $30 from a place in Vaughn. It's neither especially large or ugly and works great from my South Etobicoke condo.

The property I'm moving to is going to be a WiFi hot spot. Since the iPod Touch has built-in WiFi, can I use it as a VoIP phone over WiFi?

Idiot.

I've got no desire to get into an argument over the relative merits of different technologies. OS X comes with Time Machine (a revolutionary backup system). All it requires is a large external drive. Because pretty much every Mac being used today has Firewire, and newer Macs have Firewire 800...

I picked up a Hisense ATSC tuner on ebay for about $30. Picture quality is phenomenal.

Thanks for your help Nicole.

I got stopped yesterday and ticketed for driving with an expired driver's license and expired plates. I could have sworn that I had renewed everything but I guess I spaced it. The cop said that if I got everything up to date withing 24 hours then I could go to court, show the documentation and...
