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.
