I go away for a few days, and Flachbar/MeInMaui have released a Google Calender Plugin for SageMC. Of course, that begs the question if they are going to do it for the standard STV? Good work guys, SageMC is just about its own program :). SageTV Here is the fruit of another joint effort between flachbar (Dirk) and myself. This […]

And you thought the HD DVD battle was tough between TWO players. Yet here we have 2 more competitors to the already endless supply of media extenders, all vying for space in your living/bed-room. Some items of note, these DO play XVid/DiVx, but do NOT play DVR-MS filetypes. Gear Digest  Interestingly enough, the similarities between the Rapsody and the […]
Read moreThis would be pretty good news for HD DVD fans, as Walmart having this much of a vested interest is always good for a product's longevity. And I have to agree with their thinking, for them to commit this much, the units will have to be one of the lowest priced units ever. Curious if it'll compete with Xbox360's HD […]
Read moreNever heard of Llama.com before this, but they've got some nice pictures of the outside & inside of the new XBox360 Elite hardware.

DROOOL!!!! Yeah, I can't get over the excitement of a 1 TERABYTE hard drive finally coming out! And I'm even more excited that it was by Hitachi, known for their AAM-enabled quiet hard drives, versus Seagate's loud garbage. Tom's Hardware  Hitachi's new Deskstar 7K1000 is clearly worth recommending for those with huge storage requirements. Its 1 TB represents a […]

Those of you anxiously awaiting the release of the Xbox360 Elite can finally waste…err…spend those savings. If you can't wait, you can go to Ebay & be gauged to be one of the first. I'm sure they're going for an obscene price right now….but curious who's really going to pay considering it's just a regular 360 with some nice addons, […]
