Modems

Cable modems actually work more like network adapters than modems. They are much faster than traditional modems, allowing for high-speed Internet access and instant emailing. They allow you to do multiple things while on the Web, such as surfing while listening to audio files or watching video files. Speeds can vary according to the type of equipment your cable provider uses and how many people in your area use the service. Read the rest of this entry »

Digital Media Remotes

Digital media remotes allow you to control your digital media from across the room, and sometimes farther than that! Infrared remotes work up to 35 feet away, much like television remotes, while RF remotes use radio frequencies and will work through walls (or people blocking your devices). You can control your digital media applications–including software–with one remote. Read the rest of this entry »
