How to choose the right-sized TV for your house

APART from getting slimmer, the latest TVs are also becoming wider. The square box has been replaced with an almost wafer-thin widescreen display which has an aspect ratio of 16:9.

For some viewers who are looking to replace their old tube TV — or perhaps buy a second flatscreen for another room — one of the many questions being asked is just how big or small the panel should be to assure comfortable viewing.

The first thing to do is establish how far it will be between the panel and the couch — this is called the viewing distance.

This distance can then be taken and used to determine the maximum and minimum-sized TV to suit the room.

Those with the "go big or go home" attitude should take note of the distance they would be sitting from the screen before splashing out on the biggest screen they can afford.

Having a screen that's too big for the viewing space means you'll be sitting too close and see every pixel on the screen.

Nokia N8 smartphone

WHEN does a phone become too much? When it plays high-definition movies on your TV, or when it tells you how to drive in your own voice?

In its war against the iPhone, mobile phone giant Nokia is relying on giving its customers as many features as heavenly possible.

Perhaps, even, more than they really want.

The new Nokia N8 smartphone is packed to the brim with hi-tech tricks that range from brilliant to bizarre.

Due to hit Australian shores later this year, it will sell for $749, which puts it in the same ball park as the iPhone.

Here's our list of the N8's five most opulent features. You tell us — is it over the top?

Personalised GPS

The N8 has turn-by-turn GPS, which is great. But what's a little scary is that you can record your own audio to be played back as you drive.
In other words, you can sit there with your phone, record your own lines for 57 different possible driving instructions, and then listen to yourself yelling at you when you make a wrong turn.

The voice on the demo unit we tried said, in a surfie's voice: "Speed camera ahead dude! Either slow down or say cheese."

Nokia said customers could replace it with a recording of their husband or wife telling them how to drive. That sounds great, Nokia.

HDMI output

Despite the fact that connecting a gadget designed for mobility to a giant TV set seems a bit silly, the N8 lets you output video in HDMI.

That's what you'd usually use to connect a Blu-ray player, or something like a PlayStation 3, to an expensive HD TV, and it's designed specifically to do it in super-high definition.

Most phones can't output video at all, let alone in HDMI. And why would they? Do your home videos really need to be shown in 720p?

No anti-virus software?

AUSTRALIANS would be forced to install anti-virus and firewall software on their computers before being allowed to connect to the internet under a new plan to fight cyber crime.

And if their computer did get infected, internet service providers like Telstra and Optus could cut off their connection until the problem was resolved.

Those are two of the recommendations to come from a year-long inquiry into cyber crime by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Communications.

Results of the inquiry, titled Hackers, Fraudsters and Botnets: Tackling the Problem of Cyber Crime, were released last night in a 260-page report.

In her foreword, committee chair Belinda Neal said cyber crime had turned into a "sophisticated underground economy".

"In the past decade, cyber crime has grown from the nuisance of the cyber smart hacker into an organised transnational crime committed for vast profit and often with devastating consequences for its victims," Ms Neal said.
