In the rapid-fire world of new technology, consumers usually get the cool stuff. Unfortunately, most owners manuals tend to frustrate, more than help. The over-abundance of TLA's (Three Letter Acronyms) and geek-speak can be overwhelming and counter-productive.      Hopefully, I can help explain things in easy terms. This section is split into 3 subsections; Explanations (to explain in detail some of the terms in Consumer Electronics), Glossary (a simple definition of terms) and Tech News (keeping up with the latest developments and keeping an eye on the future advances).      If you don't find the answer here, then please feel free to e-mail me with your specific question. I can usually answer within 36 hours.
