The good thing about Boxee is the wonderful amount of content that is available. While it can be a bit overwhelming, it’s hard to argue with the abundance of selection. I hadn’t heard of most of these but I could see myself checking some out if I was completely bored–specifically Improv Anywhere or FailBlog sound humerous.   Boxee Blog Easily […]

Crunchgear maintains hope…I’m still fairly skeptical.   Crunchgear Well, it delivers on what Universal said it would do and nothing else. It’s a pretty weak feature/app, but […]
