Is it used to play a certain media format? (i.e.- mpegs, jpegs, mp3''s)

no.

question #8?

Is it electrical as opposed to electronic? A lamp is electrical, a computer is electronic.

A lamp doesn''t process any information, its electrical.

A calculator is electronic, i.e. some sort of input is given to it, it does something to the input, and then returns an output... I think that''s about right

There are varrying ideas on just how broad the term "electronic" is allowed to be.

I looked up the term in various dictionaries, here is one of them:

209.161.33.50/dictionary/electronic

In definition #1, a lamp and a computer are both electronic. in definition #2, only the computer is.

I knew about both usages before looking them up, I just wanted to post this so you all knew I wasn't being crazy... techniqually, electronics is the study of electrons and aplication of this to technology. And an electronic device by this correct definition could be a potato battery.

But I digress. I will answer Mog's question:

Yes, it is electronic. By your definition.

Question #9?

does it have to do with a computer?

no.

question #10?

meh... nothing fun is happening in the forums right now... I was hoping to be on my next question idea by now, and mog must be feeling the same way in his thread.

guess people, guess!

Does it plug into a wall socket?

no.
question #11?

will no one step up to the challenge?

Battery operated?

Answer this question ONLY IF the answer to Question #11 is no.

Does it get power from solar energy, water energy, wind energy, or geothermal energy?

Note: This isn''t a 3-in-1 question. If you answer yes, we know it is one of them, but not which one. If its no, well then they are all eliminated.

no it is not battery operated.

and no to Biodus''s question.

Question #13?

I don''t want you all going off the deep end here, trying to figure out what powers this thing: think of how you phrased your sentences... you said "does it plug into a wall?" and "is it battery operated?" and "does it get its power from solar.. etc.. energy?"

You might be stumped as to what powers it, but thats really not important. it could get its energy indirectly from several of those sources.

no more hints... I and I hope you don''t get more confused from this one.

Is this a common item, like, the majority of people have them in their homes?

question #14?

Is it something one could buy at a store?

yes.

question #15?
