This is just cool. Ridiculously expensive, but still super cool. Now HERE’S a 3D set I might not mind watching. Then again, not sure I even have a wall big enough for this 😛 You also saw our first-glimpse of it at CES 2010 … but it’s worth another look. InfoComm 2010 attendees – even tall ones – had […]
Read moreI’ve not heard of Argosvy, and considering this box doesn’t support HD….well, it’s just odd. But anyhow, a review for your reading pleasure. A small plastic scratch tape goes across the front and around the sides of the unit, as well as a large one across the top that is almost missable. The back is uncovered, and looking at […]
Read moreThis thing really does look like something out of Star Trek. Not sure I’d want to use one. The Cyclops universal remote would fit in so well in someone’s Star Fleet quarters, I’m surprised it doesn’t have a replicator button on it. Fortunately, you won’t have to wait for the far-flung future to own one. [Gizmodo]
Read moreWith the pre-release of the iPhone today Apple managed to quietly update the Mac mini with a new slick small form factor (SFF) design along with a much needed hardware upgrade. Most notable is the inclusion of a HDMI port, reduced power consumption to less than 10W at idle, and an improved video card to the NVIDIA GeForce 320M Graphics […]
Read moreAfter a skimpy week of releases last week, there are a fair number of good selections this week. Mary & Max received a lot of positive reviews, but I was rather bored throughout it. The Stepfather was a dreadfully unoriginal thriller, predictable from start to finish. Luckily there are some gems here–who can forget the CLASSIC FLASH GORDON!?!??! Seeing fat […]
Read moreThis is meh for me, I use ESPN3.com from my HTPC as it is today, but at no extra cost besides a XBox Live membership, it’s probably worth checking out. Would love to see a native MCE plugin for ESPN3 though…. No, this live sporting access won’t be entirely free, but it’s one hell of a deal. You simply […]
Read moreI’m not sure I agree with Ganesh that the main selling point of a Media Streamer is low power, but there’s no argument that he knows the platforms and ecosytem really well. The advent of digital downloads and music / movie streaming have made the HTPC scene quite popular. While pundits keep on debating the reasons as to why […]

Finding the perfect case for your Home Theater PC (HTPC) when it is going in the A/V stack is hard. The system needs to blend in with the other components and pass the Spouse Acceptance Factor (SAF) all while having enough space for expandability and be easy to keep cool and quiet. From our earlier look at the MonCaso […]
Read moreYikes! Another big blow to us lowly HTPC fans. First the Ceton tuner delays, now the Boxee Box is delayed. Hey Boxee, how about a teaser and just letting us buy that groovy remote for now!??!? Development of the software took longer than expected, Ronen said, stressing how important it was to get things like Flash 10.1 including Flash hardware […]
Read moreI think you all know I’m not a huge fan of 3D, but seeing something like this is still pretty cool. Being able to see ANY control room is pretty sweet, let alone the first 3D sports room ever. But okay, as long as I’m "enjoying" the Uruguay-France game on my small laptop screen, maybe I’m jealous of you 3D […]
