Following Panasonic; Samsung ends plasma TV production
... leaving LG still in the game ... for now
These Panasonic - Samsung & LG plasmas still represent excellent value to the consumer. Remembering that they started out in ED (Extended Definition) - HD was still a ways off, at $25,000 for a 42" set.
Todays 42 goes for under $400 - 50" under $600 and 60" under $999 for a killer picture

Problem to Asset
Jim & Elaine called me a few weeks ago in their new Pinehills condo; Peter; what do we do with the big old cavity for a tube TV above our fireplace?
I came out & measured & saw the opportunity for a flat panel TV with matching soundbar to cover this hole; but better yet use the opening as a place for cable box and Blu-ray DVD.
We started on a plan with Samsung 46" 1080p and matching soundbar; but migrated to LG 47" as the better choice as having a WAY better soundbar reputation.
The SnapAV mount was a great match; all the geometry worked out just perfectly and the TV in place swings left to access Blu-ray DVD and the Verizon cable box. Cord flexibility was a plan; not an afterthought & new black thin HDMIs enhance the easy swing of the mounting arm. Finished with a surge-suppression outlet protecting all components and vertical spacers under the feet of the cable box & Blu-ray allow plenty of ventilation to run cool as a cucumber.
So we have happy customers & happy components. Oh and yea, the Bluetooth soundbar sounds really sweet. A great way to enjoy good sound from movies, Pandora or Rhapsody on today's thin TVs :)

iTunes Update Woes
iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
you get this? error messages starting your PC? well I lost iTunes on my desktop, and 2 laptops 10 days ago when it updated to ver. 11.1.4
We're more used to Microsoft giving us NEW problems as they cure OLD problems; a trade-off tradition.
So the fix? I Ignored it a while; I STILL wonder why CNET and other tech news sources didn't address this snafu - and maybe I'm in the "silent minority". But this afternoon in earnest I googled "iTunes update problem" and was led to an iTunes forum with instructions. It looks formidable but wasn't so bad; maybe 40 minutes tops while doing other things.
You basically are doing a full thorough uninstall and removal manually then a reboot and reinstall iTunes. And up comes my music collection unscathed :)
So tackle it I you'll get the satisfaction. Isn't so bad; and i I will say problems with iTunes are pretty rare thank goodness!

Now: that great new Rosanne Cash CD I want to burn ... now I CAN! :)
