Our friends at DMZ have posted a new review from boutique HTPC makers Low Carbon PC (who I admittedly had never heard of). The box is nice enough, at an MSRP of $799 though. I can’t stop staring at the wireless keyboard, which looks like it was ripped off of a laptop. Still, they seem to like it. With a […]

We have reviewed a number of wireless keyboards over the years, from the tiniest Logitech Dinovo Mini to the oblong shaped IOGear GKM581R. Every wireless keyboard has its pros and cons based on what exactly you are looking for and how often you will use it. Genius is a relative newcomer to this world and are coming in with a […]

National Lampoon’s Animal House is arguably one of the best college-type comedies of all time, and John Belushi is absolutely hilarious in it.

Read moreHere’s a review from HDGuru on a LG Smart TV device designed to upgrade your television to a “smart” tv. The guru seems to love the picture quality and only notes the price as a big caveat, but a glance over at reviews on Amazon are much less flattering. You get the expected HDMI output, plus optical for those inclined […]
Read moreHere’s a bummer. Replay TV has finally killed their EPG download. I was an early adoptor and had given my old units to my dad and mother-in-law. It was pre-announced some time ago, but today my dad complained. It’s not supposed to go off until the 31st, but I guess if you have everything up to that date, it must be […]
