Narrowed it down to the Samsung and the Toshiba. November 27, 2009

My 6 year old Panasonic plasma TV died a few weeks ago. I had been considering getting a new HDTV anyway so this was somewhat of a coincidence. After asking around, I have (I think!) narrowed it down to the Samsung LN46B630 and the Toshiba REGZA 55ZV650U.

Anyone want to weigh in and offer the tiebreaker opinion on this? :-)

Looking for an Ultra-Compact Camera November 22, 2009

Posted by atharkhan in : Personal , 3comments

I’ve been taking way too many photos with my iPhone. Even though the image quality is downright horrible, the reason I end up taking pictures with it is because it’s always with me. The DSLR along with the heavy lenses sits at home, unused for months at a time. So, I think the answer is an ultra compact Camera. Initially, I thought a Canon G series camera would be nice. But, that camera isn’t exactly pocket friendly either. A Leica would be great but I can’t justify the price. Checked out a couple of Panasonic cameras (with Leica lenses) too. So, now it’s down to the Canon PowerShot SD780IS or the SD940IS

Google has just added the capability to search legal opinions and journals through Google Scholar. (Click here for Google’s official announcement).

Even though I have access to LexisNexis and Westlaw, I have been using Google Scholar extensively for a couple of days and find it very useful.
