New York Times columnist David Pogue answers the most common consumer tech questions. An example:
Q: What TV should I get?
A: Plasma for dark rooms, LCD for bright ones.
If it matters to you—and there’s no reason it should—it looks like plasma is on the way out. Most companies have stopped manufacturing and selling them (Panasonic is the notable exception).
If it were me, and if I could afford it, it’d get an “LED LCD”—an LCD screen illuminated by LED lights. The blacks are so black, it’s like you’re looking into space.
And here’s a partial just for Mark:
A: Mac or PC?
Q: I’m going to get torrents of hate mail no matter what I say, so here you go: Mac, if you have a choice.
BTW, in reference to my comment on the other PC v Mac post….Pogue is also in Steve Jobs pocket and is untrustworthy regarding his opinions about computing devices.
