Read moreI honestly don’t quite know how to feel about this finally officially confirmed news that the new XBox One won’t include the Media Center Extender infrastructure. I always suspected that this was the case, but officially hearing it is a sad ending to this journey. Windows Media Center is clearly not in the company’s plans in the future. Sad day. […]
Read moreThis is not the type of news that we were hoping for at the end of the week. The Ceton Echo Media Center Extender had high hopes of being the end all, be all extender for HTPC users.

Read moreI had the unique opportunity of working on this project for a while, and let me tell you it was not easy! A lot of big companies had to work together to make this happen, so I’m happy to see it finally be released.

The internet giant announced a new streaming stick called “Chromecast” that comes in at $35–and with this it also includes 3 months of Netflix streaming service for free, so basically the device costs $11.
