This year's home theater/automation show was actually pretty good. Several little surprises and better use of technology was the theme from many manufacturers.

3D Makes You More Attentive
People are 12 per cent more attentive when watching Blu-ray 3D compared to a conventional Blu-ray disc and 29 per cent more attentive when that same 3D experience is up against a plain old DVD. Pretty interesting.

Xoom Android Tablet Set for Sale Thursday, Mar 3, 2011 at Verizon
The first major challenger to the iPad, Motorola's Verizon-exclusive Xoom tablet, is set to arrive Thursday, and the early reviews have been almost universally positive, although most cautioned that the price is high and the upcoming second iPad could beat it out.
Writing in the New York Times, David Pogue praised the Xoom, calling it "an excellent, xesty tablet with... a lot of xip," while also pointing out its "xany" price tag. Pogue had positive things to say about the Honeycomb version of Android, which is debuting on the device, but also noted that "If you’re interested in a tablet, you’d be wise to wait a couple of months" for other competitors to arrive.

Over in the Wall Street Journal, Walter Mossberg opined that the "Xoom beats the first-generation iPad in certain respects, though it lags in others." He also praised the processor and pair of cameras, while cautioning that the upcoming second iPad may neutralize some of the differences. Mossberg also said he would "advise consumers to wait to see what Apple has up its sleeve" before making a purchase decision on the Xoom.
In Engadget, Josh Topolsky praised the Xoom for its speed and the quality of its hardware, while noting that "there isn't much here for consumers right now," and that Honeycomb in many ways still feels like it's in beta. Topolsky also called both the Xoom and Honeycomb "a spectacular work in progress" while recommending a wait-and-see approach.
And in Boy Genius Report, Jonathan S. Geller commended the Xoom for "great hardware, impressive specifications, and the latest Android OS designed just for tablets," while also noting that he wasn't 100 percent sold on Honeycomb.
The Xoom arrives in stores Thursday for $599.99 with a Verizon contract and $799.99 for WiFi-only.

What is an IP address and what to the numbers mean?
An ip address, or the internet protocol address (such as 192.168.1.1), identifies your computer or device on the internet. It contains the 32 bit number, which is 232 , or a total of 4,294,967,295 locations. Remember computers work with on’s and off’s so there is that many total combinations of 1’s and 0’s or on’s and off’s. When we take that address and break it down, it has four sections, each called an octet, because each section is a 8 bit number. 4 octets make 32 bits. Each octet, eight digits can be 11111111 or 00000000 ort 01010101 or any combination. That equals 255 total combinations so therefore no number in the octet and be above 255.
Is 3D Here to Stay?
I believe 3D adds a whole new layer of realism to movies. When it was just a fad used for horror movies and really bad adventure flicks, it was just a bad gimmick. Now with movies like Avatar, Alice in Wonderland, Toy Story 3 and the much anticipated Tron Legacy coming out shortly all using 3D as a way to make the movies more palpable to your senses and in so doing draw you into the movies even further. 3D movies now seem to be required and not just something cool to goo see once and a while, The box office is helping to prove tjis weekly.
This is just a really rough start to a blog I hope a lot of people will get involved with and make it a really fun and informative place to Regurgitate Knowledge. Knowledge that we have all found over the years as well as new and interesting tidbits we pickup about where the industry is heading. Plus, express our hopes we have for the future of home electronics and the movie and music industries.
