Paul's TV Black Friday

Paul's TV Black Friday - We all get caught up in the deals that are on offer for Black Friday, dissecting each ad and door buster, but is this weekend really the best time to make a purchase, especially when it comes to a big-ticket item like an HDTV?

There are signs that even Black Friday sales like the $298 40-inch Westinghouse LCD at Target aren’t going to make consumers go gaga over TVs. The majority of American households now possess at least one HDTV, which makes it less likely to be a top priority this shopping season. Instead, it appears that laptops remain popular and the iPad is this year’s hot new product — not 3D sets like TV manufacturers were hoping.

So you can guess what happens if TVs don’t fly off the shelves this Black Friday weekend. As Paul Semenza, senior vice president of NPD Group’s DisplaySearch, told CNNMoney.com:

Inventory pressures are building up throughout the supply chain. We’ll start to see even more aggressive pricing in a second wave later in the holiday season.

While many people enjoy shopping at dawn the morning after a big Thanksgiving meal — for reasons unfathomable to me — you shouldn’t feel like you’ll be missing the absolute best deals if you don’t buy on Black Friday. You may find more enticing prices online on Cyber Monday, or closer to Christmas as retailers get more desperate to unload sets that aren’t moving. Of course, the best deals will probably come right after the holidays, but your family may not be thrilled its present is coming on December 29 instead of the 25th.

A combination of hardware and software, it's been billed as a means for users to interact with their consoles and play games without using a physical controller, using natural gestures, voice commands and face recognition. I've had a final retail Kinect unit at home for a little over a week now, and have had ample time to put the shiny new gadget through its paces. Is it as magical as expected? Will it transform gaming? Or, more importantly, does it even work? Read on past the break for my in-depth review of this ambitious apparatus. Kinect is a single piece of hardware, yet it incorporates several distinct technologies. There's an infrared emitter that floods your play space with invisible light, paired with a CMOS sensor that then l...

Best Indoor Exercise

Best Indoor Exercise - There are several indoor exercises you can do to keep in shape. But which are the best? They can be split in to two categories. The first is body weight exercises, meaning you use your own body weight to provide resistance. The second is using some sort of equipment. There are pros and cons to both. The biggest advantage to doing body weight exercises is they can be done anywhere. Whether you're on holiday, travelling for work, or if you just want a quick exercises to do. There are quite a few body weight exercises that can be done. If you wish to work out your abdominal muscles, sit ups or crunches are a good one.
