Don’t read too far into the title if you’re a plasma fan…LCD’s are still dominating the market (10 million compared to only 3.8 million of 40-50 inchers). And with arguably the best company for plasmas (Pioneer) leaving it behind, I’m not sure how long the rest of the manufacturers will invest. PCWorld Patel of iSuppli sees a prospect of short-term […]

This is dissapointing but really not all that surprising considering just how long it’s been since this was announced. No doubt the complexity and ever changing HDMI specification couldn’t have helped Belkin’s cause…nor the MSRP which was pretty absorbant. Hopefully this technology can be revived at a more reasonable cost. C|Net The FlyWire was introduced at CES 2008. The […]

The updates and features to the Xbox platform keep coming, and coming fast. There have been a ton of announcements of features and new games, and it looks like they’re rolling them out as they get them, rather than wait for all in one. Good or bad depending on if this go ’round has the features you wanted. Gizmodo Games […]

Read moreInteresting reports back from Hulu…and some sad news for PS3 owners. But I guess it at least comforts the Boxee fans to know they haven’t been the only ones excluded.

I must admit I was pretty surprised as well to see this was coming from the folks at Macrovision who have…well…a history, let’s leave it at that. But looks pretty slick so far, so I’ll reserve judgement until I see for myself. Engadget Rovi’s first […]

You have to think Comcast appears to really be pressing the gas pedal on online features, what with the availability of HBO/Showtime programs online and now this…time’s are interesting right now. It’s good to see them finally not just sitting down, but I wonder if eventually they will try charging even more for some of this. MobileCrunch As for TV […]
Read moreAnother week, another reliable Media Center show podcast from Ian! This week up he has Jason Dunn up to discuss all things Zune and a potential future marriage with Xbox. It can only be so long before these things play apart, right? No mention of Media Center integration with it though, *sigh* Show Times: 00:23 Coming up this week 01:15 […]
Read moreHow they decided on 5900RPM is anyone’s guess but look’s like Western Digital finally has some competition in the 2TB world of hard drives. Time to save up and replace those WHS drives eh? 🙂 To be fair, the reviewers didn’t have a WD to put directly against this, but for standing alone it seems to be pretty capable. Hopefully […]

If you can’t sell it straight up, I guess you can just give it away and people will use it? They are including $50 in credit to start out with. It’s interesting in a week that saw announcements of integrated technologies–like Samsung+Blockbuster–built into their TV sets how adding a separate unit for free will work for Mitsubishi. HighDefDigest In the […]
