Read moreAMD Live! to support Blu-ray and HD DVD in 3Q 2007
AMD Live!is set to support both next generation DVD formats by Q3 2007. I am not sure exactly what that means because you can take most HTPCs and a player and have it work.

Read moreThe HDTV Dilemma:Pay for TiVo’s Recorder
Wall Street Journal goes into a little analysis regarding whether one should pay for TiVo or use the cable company's DVR boxes. Kinda common sense really, TiVo better be better for $600 box & $13/mo compared to the Cable Co's $10/mo fee. And it is, but is it *that* much better to balance out the cost? Hopefully it at least […]
