While buying a pre-built HTPC isn’t nearly as much fun as building yourself, there are some advantages to it. Zotac has been rolling out a number of various shapes and sizes for the last few years aiming to find a place. Here utilizing the Nano platform which was previously far too underpowered to act as a legitimate HTPC client, the […]
Read moreI can’t say this is very surprising as the numbers are relatively low. After all, outside those of you who commute or travel frequently for work, when are you not in front of a laptop or iPad. New comScore data about what users do with their smartphones notably glosses over the fact that just 9.3% of users watch TV or […]
Read moreWith the various streaming service offerings out there it’s tough to make heads or tails of which is best for you. Our friend Gabe has a handy dandy chart to make your life easier, with pros and cons and comparison of each. Amazon has significantly grown the size of their Prime Catalog from 5,000 to 8,000 titles. At launch, Amazon […]
Read moreI can’t remember the last time we had so many releases in a week, it’s been a while. Still, not much really jumps out at me. A couple great TV series with Sons of Anarchy and House getting ready for their new seasons. Then there’s the new Children of Corn, what is that, number 25? A couple of good animated […]
Read moreI can’t say I’m too surprised that TV rentals never kicked off. Who wants to spend $14 to have a limited time to watch a season of Sons of Anarchy, when you can spend the same amount and have unlimited access to it (and more) via Netflix? It has only been a year since Apple first introduced TV rentals from […]
Read moreIf you’ve been perusing the Forums today you will notice a couple of new additions. The first is probably an obvious one, a CableCARD forum. With the growth of number of tuner devices being released we want to make sure there’s a clear home to ask any and all questions you may have about this technology. The second is actually […]
Read moreAnother week with not a lot of new releases. The Beaver stars a depressing Mel Gibson who talks via a hand puppet I believe, not sure. Troll Hunter looks thoroughly low budget. Swingers and Breakfast at Tiffany’s are classics. If you liked Super Size Me, a new documentary by the same creator is out, The Greatest Movie Ever Sold. All […]
Read moreI love these guides from our friends at Geektonic. I always have trouble keeping up with the latest. Not sure any of these sound ALL that appealing, but I normally will wait until all you guys tell me about some amazing show I’m missing and then get caught up–most recently this was SOA and Breaking Bad. The Fall 2011 TV […]
Read moreIs this a bigger win than XBox360 and its ESPN3 deal? Depends who you ask, but it’s pretty big given the recent price reduction of the PS3 as well, showing Sony really trying to put some muscle in. Given the high price point though ($350) I’m not sure how many people are going to do this…but hey, still newsworthy for […]
Read moreSo a few weeks ago we saw a leaked build of Windows 8 that basically had Media Center in it, but it hadn’t changed at all. I guessed that this was a BAD sign, but other blogs took it as a good sign since it was at least in there in some form. Read between your own lines here, remember […]
