Media Distribution/Extenders
Do the words, "I told you so" count in this case since I was only one of many who said it? I think Apple just got a little too confident on their control of media markets after their iPod success & really just threw this out there with too high a price, and too few features. Fortune It's just not […]
Read moreI couldn't agree more with this article. I think the lack of choices other than the 360 make Microsoft look interestingly selfish. Now, knowing some people at Microsoft, I can tell you they assure me that it's been technical problems working with partners, but still…it's tough to convince others when the only extender comes from you, and it happens to […]

I actually like this idea, as it really supports what other companies like Orb try to do with your own media, but with a different twist. But the more big companies which support internet streaming, the better (I think) it'll be for all the smaller players. Zatz Not Funny The functionality is simple (and non-revolutionary) and therefore extremely easy […]

This device definitely has potential, although is pretty hideous, but I love the idea. $230 buys you this box, that you throw whatever media you want at it & it can output in high quality to your TV. My main question is, after you add in a hard drive, this thing is $330 right? So why not just buy an […]
Read moreNot sure quite how this would work, but quite interesting. Think your entire speed would improve, or would they somehow filter it so only Sling traffic would get the speed boost? EhomeUpgrade Later this year users will get a virtual button added to their PC and cell phone software that "will boost home broadband service speed" for better video quality […]
Read moreThis post really takes me back to the original rumors of the Xbox360 and the Playstation 3, back when it had these players coming as basically home theater units as well. You guys remember that? Well, Gizmodo brings back a few of the ideas thrown around back then, as well as some new ones to how the 360 might be […]
Read moreArstechnica goes over one of the many music storage/streaming solutions, such as MP3Tunes with one exception…it's free. Well, for now at least, who knows what'll happen if it becomes more popular. But this stuff definitely makes your local IT admin cringe at the thought of 100 employees uploading & streaming their collection during work. ArsTechnica The ability to create a […]
