I post this more because of the potential behind it. Just think about things you could build a computer out of! Probably not powerful enough to be your main HTPC, but hopefully at some point we get Software MCE Extender that then can maximize its potential. The Tech Report This new form factor specifies motherboards measuring only 10cm x 7.2cm, […]

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 […]
Read moreI love competition, and this is a great example why. It forces companies to be innovative, and if they just rip off another company's idea, at least don't charge the consumer as much. Curious though, do you guys often find the need to record a show from your phone? TV Squad While Sprint and Verizon are charging for their services, […]

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, […]
Read moreI doubt this is a huge blow for Blu-Ray, nor a huge gain for HD-DVD, just one of those random factoids that doesn't help anyone in the cause to convert the millions over to high definition, whether they want it or not. If they're delaying, why not just include a combo player? Whatever, just talking out loud now. MacNN The […]

I try to explain to her, you can buy a $300 computer & a $50 mirror, for a LOT less than whatever this is going to cost, but she wanted […]
Read moreI've never posted a link to DL.TV, and that's really my fault so I apologize. I should show my loyalty considering I used to watch this often. The show features Patrick Norton, from the old Tech-TV glory days, and they often feature home theater programming. To those unaware, DL.TV is a twice-a-week vidcast where they go over hardware & news […]
Read moreI'm not sure how I feel to hear that even with the massive demand for plasmas, that Hitachi can't break even while maxing out their production line. They're hoping that they can dominate the plasma market with 30% market share, which is a bit optimistic if you ask me. There's just too many players in the field for one to […]
Read moreLike clockwork, Thursday already, and Ian's got the latest podcast up. This week up, he's got Julie Jacobson, editor-in-charge at CE Pro. I've not always agreed with what they write, but still they do draw attention to HTPCs so I'm always for that. Show times 00:50 Coming up this week 01:18 Email – Dual Monitors 03:36 Want to beta test […]
Read moreBlu-ray may have just won me over. This is exactly (possibly…specifications are still pending) the kind of drive that needed to be released for the PC market. I don't need to burn 50 GB discs. I just want to play them back in all their high definition glory. Please just tell me it's available in black.
