See how big things are with Sizeasy

by Josh Lowensohn

When new gadgets are announced, it's often weeks if not months before you can see them in person to gauge their size. Sizeasy is a slick and simple piece of Webware that lets you plug in the dimensions of any product and compare it to real-world objects.

What really makes it fun is selecting from a drop-down list of real products to measure your object against, such as a door, a mattress, a box of matches, or a wine bottle. You can include up to five objects for your comparison.

When you're done, you'll receive a link to share your comparison with others. Sizeasy also provides you with a graphic of your comparison, which you can save on your hard drive or post to your blog or Web site.

Sizeasy is a simple and enjoyable tool to use. It's easy on the eyes and very intuitive. Aside from measuring gadgets, there are real-world applications for comparing the size of objects you already own, or to see exactly how much that new TV you want to buy will dwarf your old one.

Can you direct me to the PC link you mention in your video "...music from ipod to mac/pc" I can't seem to find the "music-center" you mention in the beginning. I still have ipod, but have new Dell computer.
TIA

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
