Brick House by The Commodores is one of the ringtones on my wifes Motorola E815.

It is a midi file and I’m pretty sure it just worked on her phone as is.

I think it’s pretty cool to have some 70’s songs for ringtones for those old enough that lived the times.

Time Magazine Names YouTube Best Invention for 2006.

I don’t think YouTube is an “invention” and it certainly wasn’t the first to market to upload and share videos.

I agree with camcorderinfo that this doesn’t really qualify as an invention.

I was flipping through the dial an stumbled upon the JVC Everio Camcorders on QVC.
It was the Everio GZ-MG27u for $499.

In case you’re not familiar with this unit it doesn’t use tape. It has a 20G hard drive built into the camera. Rather than record in the DV format it records in the MPEG2 format. In the highest quality settings it records at an average bitrate of 8.5 MB/s or about 4.5 hours worth of video.

I know quite a few people with DVD camcorders and they seem to like them. Personally I like the idea of a hard drive model over a DVD camcorder. A DVD camcorder can only record about 20 minutes of video per mini-DVD. It’s not cool to be switching DVD’s when recording dance recitals. Also the hard drive models are much more compact.

The downside of hard drive models is that people will get lazy and keep 2 years worth of videos on the camcorder. What happens in the event of a hard drive failure ??

Most reviewers at Amazon seem to like it. Camcorderinfo.com seems to trash the video quality. I think they sometimes look at products with too much scrutiny.

If this is your first camcorder or your are looking for a basic camera for shooting family memories the JVC Everio Camcorder GZ-MG27 unit will be fine.
