Recently, Mashable.com launched a user poll asking the question, “What’s your tech-related resolution for the new year?” And the answers ranged from “Getting a new Android phone” to “Leveraging technology to get in shape”. Respondents could select as many resolutions as they wanted and the results (so far) are interesting. The poll is still live and receiving votes.

January is named after Janus, who was a two-faced deity who could look back on the past and into the future at the same time. With this symbolism, various cultures adopted ways to celebrate

Some of you may have received a new Nintendo DS handheld gaming device for Christmas this year, and though you’re probably already in tune with whatever game or games you got with it, you may be wondering if it has any other unique capabilities.

One of its features is that people can watch recorded TV shows and movies on the Nintendo DS by placing them on a MicroSD card and loading the card into a M3 DS Simply adapter.

A new plasma flat-screen TV in the family room can make your home warm and inviting, as if it were its own central fireplace. In fact, traditional home design often makes a fireplace the center point of the main living area, so what do you do when you also want to make your new plasma TV (where everyone gathers to watch movies and television) the focal point of the house? Can you hang a plasma flat-screen TV over your fireplace? Merging the two may take some work, but there are ways to solve this dilemma. Read on to find out more.

If you’re set on hanging your new plasma TV over your hearth, you’ll want to tape a thermometer against the wall where you envision your TV and start a roaring fire. If the thermometer reading reaches 90 degrees or higher, it’s going to be too hot to hang your TV there. And although your TV comes equipped with its own cooling system, burdening it with an outside heat source will cause it to overload very quickly.
