A couple good picks this week. I saw The Runaways, and it’s definitely not for the traditional faint of heart, but if you’re a fan of Joan Jett and the 70’s style of rock music it’s worth a look, but I was pretty surprised to see Dakota Fanning in her role as the band’s leading singer–she’s not exactly a child […]
Read moreLooks like the gang at DMZ got their hands on one of the first review units of the new Cable Card tuners from Ceton. Hopefully these come out soon as I know lots of people eagerly anticipating both this one and the external version coming from SiliconDust. What you haven’t realized yet is that two of us at the Digital […]
Read moreGreat news this week, first the Popbox is released, and now we finally have a date (albeit a long way away) of October for the Boxee box…and yes, the remote is included in the video! Check it out! The Boxee Box will be available for sale as early as late October, according to Boxee’s chief product officer Zach Klein, who […]
Read moreWe’ve had great success with Intel’s H55 chipset, and I was surprised to read that this is Gigabyte’s FIRST venture into a Mini-ITX motherboard! Pretty shocking for such a huge motherboard manufacturer. GIGABYTE has grown a lot in the market lately. They mainly produce top-notch quality motherboards and GPUs, and they have even entered new areas as well. We couldn’t […]
Read moreSome really interesting stuff here Ben gathers from the recent meeting surrounding the evolution of Cable Card. It’s crazy to see all these big companies fighting for their own rights. Here’s to hoping that whatever wins out is best for the consumer and not the MSO only. To sum it up the consumer electronics companies make suggestions for an […]
Read moreAurora builds on Windows Home Server Vail’s feature set with support for a far greater number of clients (up to 25) support for Active Directory (like Windows Small Business Server, Aurora must sit at the root of the domain) as well as support for cloud-based applications. Developed alongside Windows Home Server “Vail” over the past two years, “Aurora” includes many […]
Read moreHere are the podcasts from this week, lots to choose from, even a double offering from EngadgetHD since they love 3D THAT much. Enjoy! Great show for you this week! Joining me for a roundtable are Garry Whittaker, Media Center MVP Andrew Cherry and WHS MVP Andrew Edney talking about the latest news and emails sent in including topics like […]
Read moreLet it be known, I think the Hulu model was terrific and should have been sustainable via straight advertising without the need for the Plus cost, but hopefully it will mean even greater options of shows available. So far it’s been somewhat odd, as some shows on regular Hulu aren’t available on Plus. Kinks? Take one big screen TV, […]
Read moreHere I was thinking there wasn’t any good news today, and then found this beautiful case. It’s a smooth take off the old cube case many have used, and leverages the mini-ITX platform. If flash isn’t your style, well worth a look. As a mini-ITX case, there’s not much choice of motherboards to fill in the Array R2, but […]
Read moreThese types of articles are always intriguing to me, seeing how my tastes on what would make for a great demo compare to professional dealers. Not that they always know best, but I can’t disagree with any of their top 10 picks here. Still partial to The Fifth Element chapter 24, which offers excellent audio with the subtleties of the […]
