I’ve used Silverstone HTPC cases in the past (the old LC-10M) and thought it was a great case for the price. Here’s the GD04 reviewed at Anandtech, where the reviewer finds some faults…and the commentors find some faults in the reviewer. Ah, good times. The GD04 is remarkably attractive if you’re into that minimalist look (I am); there’s a sister […]
Read moreI’m sure everyone just has the consumer’s interest in mind here, but who doesn’t enjoy $50 dates to the movies and would rather, *gasp* spend less money to watch it in the comfort of your home? That’s ludicrous if you ask me. -end sarcasm- The outreach is in response to statements by media executives touting plans to offer movies in […]

It’s somewhat humerous that it’s taken until 2010 for reports like this to finally be published by Nielsen. For years show ratings have been hurt by unaccounted DVR users. This isn’t the first report we’ve seen implying these numbers this year, but it’s a good sign that they’re continuing to show what we already know–using a DVR lets you watch […]
Read moreRemember that big GoogleTV that was supposed to revolutionize the way people watch TV? Well…hold off on that for a bit I guess. I’d be very surprised if Google really was backing out, my guess is they are going to just improve things they went wrong with. Better to realize this sooner than later I suppose. NYTimes.com is reporting that […]
Read moreWe’ve posted about some of the earlier release candidates for XBMC, one of the best free media center applications out there, and it’s finally gone live! Congratulations to the team, it looks phenomenal. But that’s just the beginning of Dharma. We have improved the entire experience. As always, we strive to play all of the current media formats available, including […]

Read moreI love rumors, especially when they seem to make sense with recent occurences. Normally I wouldn’t post them, but I don’t think this one is all that damaging. The Xbox team has continued to add lots of services, and we know that Microsoft’s MediaRoom platform is built off of the XBox, so it kinda just makes sense anyways. Take it […]
Read moreLots of great content as always this week, enjoy! After several weeks of covering the news, we finally move on (mostly) from the WHS Drive Extender debacle and straight into metadata and getting your Recorded TV sorted the way you want. There’s no one good way to handle this situation if you want to use a different system. Most are […]
Read moreSolid selection of movies this week. I’ve heard good things about MicMacs, a foreign film but not seen it yet. Same about Despicable Me, with Steve Carrel’s voice. Cyrus is a drama featuring the super funny Jonah Hill…curious to see how that’s going to work out. I really need to jam on my movie watching! Btw, those of you interested […]
