What Gear Does a Gadget Geek Own?

As someone considered a tech authority, I am often asked by family and friends what kind of gear to buy. Short of listing my phone number here and having you call me for shopping advice, here's the gear I've actually shelled out money for, and some buying advice.

I just bought this compact Blu-ray player, not because it plays 3D Blu-ray discs (as I noted in the last slide, I don't yet have a 3D HDTV) but because I'll be able to attach a Skype-compatible camera/mic combo such as Panasonic's TY-CC10W ($170) to it and turn my HDTV into a giant Skype video phone. Buying Advice: Almost all new Blu-ray players are "connected" – they offer a wealth of internet content. Get one with Wi-Fi built in, though, to save the hassle of all that annoying cabling (assuming you have a Wi-Fi router in your home, of course).
