I’m not sure how I feel about the two largest MSO’s going in on something…you can almost rest assured consumers will be the least considered in this money making scheme. I doubt anyone is truly surprised though, it was only a matter of time before the big boys did something to compete with the buzz that is Hulu. Engadget Today, […]
Read moreBelkin is not the first to release powerline networking, but this still remains a highly sought after technology for many folks dissapointed with their wireless capabilities. I’d wait to see a review before jumping in on this one, but it’s good to see the technology has not yet died off completely. WeGotServed Because of its high Gigabit speeds and consistent […]
Read moreThe folks at Boxee have been hard at work. In addition to the very popular add-in challenge which just wrapped up, there are a ton of new features upcoming!

Read moreI don’t think this would really surprise anyone given Hulu’s actions in the past year, but still dissapointing. Nothing is set in stone yet, but you kind of knew it would not stay free forever. Jonathan Miller, News Corp.’s newly-installed chief digital officer, said he envisions a future where at least some of the TV shows and movies on […]
Read moreWell, it seems more and more stuff keeps getting added to the xbox 360 dashboard while the extender portion gets no love. Just announced at E3: Last.FM support. Seeing as how development on the only Last.FM plugin I know of for VMC died quite awhile ago, this is welcome news. Microsoft and Last.FM are making sweet, sweet music on […]
