WELCOME AND THANKS FOR TUNING IN...I'M RICH DEMURO WITH CNET TV IN NEW YORK CITY AND THIS IS THE QUEUE -- FASTER THAN DIAL-UP AND ALWAYS FREE...WE SCOUR THE WEB FOR COOL TECH STUFF!
LET'S START WITH SOME EYE CANDY...
THE MOON WORLD RESORT -- CREATING THE MOON ON EARTH FOR ALL TO ENJOY...
STILL IN DEVELOPMENT, CREATORS THINKING BIG -- WITH PLANS FOR THE
LARGEST AND TALLEST HOTEL, 50 RESTAURANTS, THE LARGEST RESORT WINE CELLAR, THE LARGEST SPHERE, A CASINO, 5 SHOWS, SPORTS VENUE, DISCO, WORLD'S LARGEST OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL, AND AN INDOOR SKI AND SNOWBOARD PARK.
THE RESORT WON'T BE WEIGHTLESS BUT YOU CAN TAKE A WALK ON A SIMULATED MOON WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO FEEL LIKE THE REAL THING.
MOON PLANS LOCATIONS IN THE U-S, EUROPE, AND JAPAN.
WHEN YOU THINK FREE DOWNLOADS...WHAT COMES TO MIND?
KA-ZAA? BIT TORRENT? LIME WIRE?
HOW ABOUT THE GOOD OLD PUBLIC LIBRARY?
A COMPANY CALLED OVERDRIVE POWERING 5-THOUSAND LIBRARIES NATIONWIDE WITH FREE DIGITAL DOWNLOADS OF AUDIO BOOKS, EBOOKS, MUSIC...AND NOW VIDEO!
THERE ARE MORE THAN 3-THOUSAND MOVIES, TV SHOWS AND INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS AVAILABLE...
YOU CAN CHECK OUT DIGITAL CONTENT JUST LIKE BOOKS AT THE LIBRARY WITHOUT EVER LEAVING YOUR COMPUTER!
PLUS, NO OVERDUE FEES! LENT-OUT ITEMS AUTOMATICALLY EXPIRE WHEN DUE.
DIGITAL PICTURES ARE A SNAP TO TAKE...BUT PEOPLE ALSO LIKE TO PRINT THEM...MAINLY AT HOME...
THIS LEADS US TO YOUR QUICK QUIZ...
WHAT'S THE MOST POPULAR ENTRY MEGAPIXEL LEVEL FOR NEW CAMERA BUYERS?
IS IT-
4 TO 4.9 MEGAPIXELS?
5 TO 5.9 MEGAPIXELS?
6 TO 6.9 MEGAPIXELS?
OR
7 PLUS MEGAPIXELS?
IF YOU SAID 6 TO 6.9...YOU'RE RIGHT!
ACCORDING TO THE PHOTO MARKETING ASSOCIATION -- 6 TO 6.9 MEGAPIXEL CAMERAS MADE UP 43 PERCENT OF SALES IN JANUARY...
THE ASSOCIATION EXPECTS A SHIFT TO A HIGHER MEGAPIXEL LEVEL BY THE END OF SPRING.
AND NOW FOR THE SITE...
WHEN YOU'RE PICTURES ARE 2-D BUT YOUR MIND CRAVES 3-D...TRANSFORM YOUR STILLS FOR MORE DEPTH WITH FOTOWOOSH.
THE WEBSITE ATTEMPTS TO MIMIC THE HUMAN BRAIN BY TRANSFORMING SIMPLE 2-D PICTURES INTO 3 DIMENSIONS...
THE SITE'S PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE FIGURES OUT WHICH PARTS OF AN IMAGE CORRESPOND TO THE GROUND, VERTICAL SURFACES AND THE SKY -- THEN MAKES THEM POP.
YOU HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT...AND THANKFULLY -- FOTOWOOSH HAS TONS OF SAMPLES ON ITS SITE.
AND THEY'RE OFF!
IN AN EFFORT TO RAISE AWARENESS OF A THREATENED SPECIES...THE GREAT TURTLE RACE LETS YOU TRACK THE MOVEMENTS OF 11 LEATHERBACKS EQUIPPED WITH GPS.
THE FEMALE TURTLES HAVE SATELLITE TRACKERS STRAPPED TO THEIR BACKS...
THEY'RE MAKING THEIR ANNUAL 12-HUNDRED MILE JOURNEY FROM COSTA RICA TO THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS.
THE GREAT TURTLE RACE DOT COM LETS YOU LEARN MORE ABOUT THE SPECIES AND THEIR PROGRESS.
LEATHERBACKS CAN GROW TO BE MORE THAN 6 FEET AND 2000 POUNDS...THEY'RE THE WORLD'S LARGEST TURTLES BUT COULD DISAPPEAR WITHIN 10 YEARS BECAUSE OF POACHERS AND PLASTIC BAGS THAT CONTAMINATE THEIR WATERS.
