Posted Mar 8th 2008 12:38PM by Paul MillerFiled under: Displays, HDTV, Home Entertainment If you’re all broken up about Pioneer’s seeming exit of the plasma business, take heart.

The move to an outside manufacturer (Matsushita, parent company of Panasonic) is designed to cut cost in plasma production, but Pioneer still plans to maintain its premium edge over competitors.

In what is sure to not be the last time Google and Microsoft cross swords, here we have a quick comparison of the two’s online services.  Who has the upper hand: Google and their only in the clouds (for now) Documents or Microsoft’s no editing in the clouds Word Online.  Here is the summation: The basic differences between the two really is the angle they come at the service.  For Google, it is all online.  Google puts editing, saving, sharing, and everything else you can do online.  For Microsoft, the online bit it just another in its broad feature spec.  There certainly is no focus on the online world, in fact, if you don’t pony up for Microsoft Word it is a no-go.  From the collaboration: Real time for Google Docs to “checked out” loaner library for Office Live Workspace; to saving options: Googles open door policy to Microsoft’s assumption you want what ever you started in.  Don’t even get me started on Mobile access :Google: heck yeah and Microsoft: not so much.

Darkness not only removes light from the scene when you’re driving, it also takes out contrast, leaving a night driver with the bright spotlight cast by the car’s headlights, and any other place where light is cast by streetlights, a full moon, billboard lights, etc. It’s a light/dark world with no degree of shade or contrast. High-end sports watch maker Tag Heuer has recognized that the ability to see varying degrees of light and dark can add that contrast and have created a pair of Night Vision glasses to help drivers to see – even when no light is cast. Here’s how they work: Originally designed to help drivers in the 24 Hours of LeMans auto race, the Tag Hauer glasses amp up contrast by correcting the low-light short-sightedness of the human eye, which only sees about 10% at night.
