I hope other companies see things like this and can understand just why Netflix is so beloved by consumers. Not only do they provide an awesome service at a great price, but they’re not trying to nickel & dime their customers at all. Are there people taking advantage of the Netflix streaming limits and sharing accounts? Probably. But I guarantee […]

We’ve been curious about the sudden slew of retailers popping up over the weekend offering aggressive pricing on InfiniTV 4 digital cable tuners. Ceton has just answered our questions with a press release detailing their new authorized retail partners including D&H Distributing, Micro Center, the Microsoft Store, Newegg and Velocity Micro. The big reductions in price from new retailers can be explained […]

Sounds like we might be getting a new take on Xbox Live Diamond that could actually offer some true value. The Xbox 360 already offers IPTV funtionality with Mediaroom integration for interested service […]

Here’s a nifty little board from the gang at Zotac, full of features including wireless, maybe your next HTPC board? Today sees us still keeping our focus on small form factor in general but taking a look at a slightly different product, that shares the same market.

Read moreFinally some official information regarding the future version of Microsoft Windows, and boy can you say “radically different”? It feels like they’re really trying to push the whole singular interface across devices…not sure how I feel about that yet. The fundamental goal with the new operating system, which is being shown for the first time at D9, is to create […]

Read moreThe quest for a great HTPC keyboard is always a challenge, especially with more of us cutting the cord to watch various streaming options which require a keyboard and mouse. Here’s one from Enermax that aims to fit the bill. A bit big for my liking, but looks like it does the job. I do like that it has a […]
Read moreI was really tempted to pick “Drive Angry” as my pick…and then I watched it, so that was the easiest decision in my life–it feels like Nic Cage is becoming the new Segal, just going from one weird action movie to the next.

AMD’s Llano sure looks like it has an awful lot of potential as AMD tries to get back in the game on par with Intel’s Sandy Bridge. With Computex ongoing I imagine we’ll see and hear a lot more about specifics of this upcoming platform. Our best guess is that desktop-based Llano is to make an appearance sometime in July […]
