DirecTV activates Networking for Intel Viiv PCs

10's of people must be excited about Direct TV's announcement that they are finally rolling out updates to connect to ViiV computers. The features are somewhat pointless and I would doubt they would be widely used. Am I cynical? Heck yah!

Sony VPL-VW50 Projector Review

sony-vpl-vw50-projector-front-main

Not the most glowing review, but not bad either. And for a Sony, it's pretty affordable at $4000, so at least worth a second look. The Sony VPL-VW50 (Pearl) projector packs quite a punch – it's a new level of performance and resolution at an affordable price, but is definitely not perfect. Details can be lost in mixed bright/dark scenes. […]
