This is pretty creative thinking, but still pretty expensive. Maybe if I could do this for $100 I would be interested, but for $1000 I’m just buying an actual piece of furniture for my television. Still though, if your significant other is an artist and hates your technology, maybe this will work?! Gizmodo Once balanced at a 70-degree angle […]

Considering how long it’s been around, I’ve been quite surprised with all the recent traction which 3D has picked up from major studios. Personally, I paid a lot of money to fix my eyes so I did NOT have to wear glasses so I’m not a fan, but apparantly a lot of people are and Panasonic is trying to be […]
Read moreCharlie Owen (@charlieo) from Microsoft and frequent blogger posts this question to all of twitter, if Media Center can go beyond the enthusiast market. Personally, I still think there’s a chance, but I’m a die hard optimist.

We’ve seen some brief reviews of the SG06 before, but nobody covers chassis as detailed and well rounded as these guys. In the end it’s a bit dissapointing, but keep in mind these aren’t designed for HTPC usage really but would definitely work. I’m personally not a fan of the appearance but it’s good to see them thinking outside the […]

Sorry for posting this so late, but I thought I already had. No real surprise I think, as Vizio is a very affordable HDTV and has received pretty good reviews for both the products and the company. I was surprised to see Sony still up there, I’m sure continuing on their name-reputation moreso than anything else (if my dad was […]

Now this is slick! I think I recall reading a few years back about a TV that was a mirror when turned off, but this TV is actually installed behind the mirror to add to the already impressive home. And look at that rack! Electronic House The ceiling is 25 feet high with beautiful moldings and recessed patterns, and […]

Brent at Geektonic has a teaser video of an upcoming skin of XBMC, and I’m not sure what to be more impressed with–the skin itself or the video, with it’s music and showmanship really has me excited!
