...good-looking, with a quiet élan to match his athletic skill. He's also a throwback to kung-fu film's early days, when stars and stunt men alike took a licking and kept on kicking. Ong-Bak has no crouching, no hiding, no wires, no pixel-perfected stunts. Like Chan's early epics, it convinces you that the mayhem is real, that the star is enduring the pain for your pleasure...
...True liquid-crystal display is basically a larger version of the pixel-based technology used in computer monitors. PRO: Each new generation of LCDs looks sharper and costs less. CON: Problems with contrast and a slow refresh rate mean that for now, it's hard to make large-screen LCD TVs. HOT BRAND: Sharp...

...were to crack open your digital camera, one thing you would find is the image sensor, a tiny silicon chip about a half-inch wide embedded with millions of pixels tightly packed together. When struck by light, each pixel generates an electric current that is converted into the digital data that make up your picture. But not all pixels are created equal, and some cameras use larger ones than others. For example, the pixels on the HP Photosmart R707 are just 2.8 microns wide, whereas those on the Nikon D70 are 7.8 microns wide. (A micron is tiny?1/24...

Lens quality, image-processing capability and even the size of the pixels can all have a greater effect on how your pictures turn out. "The number of megapixels," says Bob Sobol, an image scientist at Hewlett-Packard, "is relatively unimportant." What the quantity of megapixels (each one equals 1 million pixels) does determine is how big you should make your prints. For most consumers, a bottom-of-the-line, 2-megapixel model is just fine...
