LITTLE BIG SHOT Are you a sucker for multipurpose gadgets? Try this one on for size. It's a four-in-one digital camcorder, camera, MP3 player and voice recorder from Panasonic. The SV-AV10 ($449) can store 30 min. of MPEG-4 video or 880 digital stills on a single 64-MB memory card and display them on a 2-in. flip-out LCD screen. The whole thing is not much bigger than a deck of cards...

What we are left with is stripped-down sex, prostitution in all but name, with women captured in the most degrading positions possible, servicing their partners--and us--via .mpeg and streaming video...

The digital-music standard MP3, short for ISO-MPEG Audio Layer-3, was developed by German engineering firm Fraunhofer IIS back in 1987 as a way of compressing CD-quality sound files. The technology made it possible to take songs from a CD and "rip," or convert them into MP3 files, usually in violation of copyright. But even...

Mpeg-3, a longtime standard for digital music on the Net, entered the spotlight this year when MP3.com issued its IPO and MP3 players were declared legal. Now you don't need a recording label to make it big--and industry execs are playing catch...
...this opening-up-your-PC hurdle seems insurmountable, I recommend Dazzle Multimedia's Digital Video Creator ($249), a Walkman-size device that attaches externally. It doesn't have the extras of the Marvel (graphics card, TV tuner), and it uses the MPEG standard of compression, which delivers half the resolution of the MJPEG. Still, some people may prefer MPEG, since it consumes far less storage space...
