God bless em! Hopefully Comcast is paying attention and will gradually start to lower costs–besides access, I know so many people in their 20’s that refuse to pay for cable because most of what they want can be had for free or just isn’t important enough to pay $100/month. Internet is way more important to them, and now they have […]

I saw one in person last year at Cedia and was quite impressed with how ridiculously thin they were. You can count on them costing quite a bit more than LCD’s though. Gizmodo Here’s what’s more believable. According to […]

Now here’s a unique perspective on extender devices–this offering from Samsung connects your cell phone to your television, and allows you to play content wirelessly. Sound odd?

I was finally able to activate my RTM build 🙂 Windows Team Blog And tomorrow, our Volume License (VL) customers with an existing Software Assurance […]
Read moreAnother Thursday, another reliable podcast from fellow MVP Ian Dixon! This week up he’s got Ben Reed, Microsoft’s foremost evangelist…err…Sr. Product Manager to talk about Windows 7 and the new TV formats. Look forward to listening!

In all seriousness, clearly, this is not aimed at the home audio/video afficionado, nor even home theater builders. Impressive, nonetheless. The Ultimate is a rather large speaker–each one consists of six, seven-foot tall panels. Each Ultimate houses a total […]

If you have been out of the PC Hardware game for a bit, you may not have heard of Scythe before…but they have quickly and *quietly* (get it?) made a name for themselves with quality heatsinks and fans for your CPU’s. What started as giant towers has continued to evolve for all sorts of chassis, so here are a couple […]
Read moreAnother wonderful report here, this one from a single particular site versus an actual research report. But that being said, it does make sense which is why companies are always trying to get you to stick with the monthly charges–Netflix is still doing well, aren’t they? Home Media Mag Subscriptions for online video downloads generate 20 times the revenue and […]
