With a caveat though, this discussion will definitely NOT be Sonos stepping into the video streaming, so if that’s what you were thinking (like me). But how cool would that be?!?! Oh well, in the meantime it’s good to see Sonos continuing to evolve their product and brand. Hopefully they maintain the same methods which brought them success in the […]

I’m not sure whether opinions like this will hold any merit in the long run, but if you’re an appleTV fan you have to be worried…that is, unless you are an AppleTV owner using Boxee, in which case you aren’t really concerned. That being said, I’m sure I’m not the only one who would be willing to pay for a […]

Think Computers had just reviewed this and ignored most popular HTPC softwares…so I was really hoping Pure Overclock did a better job of that. On the one hand, they do thoroughly cover the "TV Enhance" software which ASUS provides, but just like Think Computers they completely ignore Media Center, SageTV or any HTPC-software which you know will be used.
