Sites that I found interesting for December 9th 2008 through December 10th 2008:

• Find the right Blu-ray player for you – According to the early reports, Blu-ray is faring well this holiday season and it's not hard to see why. With standalone player prices finally slipping below $250 and more popular movies available, Blu-ray is now a solid option for those who want the best image quality from their home theater. If you're looking to go Blu over the next few weeks, here's a roundup of recent Blu-ray coverage on CNet to help you make your choice.
• Livemocha: Learn Languages Online – English, Spanish, French, Italian, Mandarin, 学会英语 – Haven't tried this. Looks interesting if you want to learn a language.
• Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC Lens Review – The length of the zoom range is almost as remarkable as that of the lens's name itself, with the 15x ratio covering everything from a 28mm equivalent wideangle to a 420mm equivalent telephoto. This is unprecedented in terms of SLR optics, and is clearly aimed at users upgrading from superzoom digicams who require a similar focal length range without the inconvenience of changing lenses.Version for Nikon DSLR Cameras
