It’s good to see Amazon sticking behind it’s streaming service, which you get for free with a Prime subscription for $79/year. More than affordable, but I would hope they will increase their HD offerings. Anyone here fully switch from Netflix to Amazon for streaming? Unfortunately, many of the added TV shows were not in high definition (HD). When we last […]

Read moreThermaltake has been making cases for a while, but usually they’re on the flashier, gamer side of things. This offering has a nice look. Notice the red on the front, which I actually don’t mind all that much, but it might not fit in with your specific environment.

The key to the high performance is […]
Read morePower Line networking is not new by any means, but the companies behind it have continued to try to improve the technology. The toughest part about it is that the performance varies based on the design and age of your house, so keep that in mind if you’re considering.

Read moreSome good movies to choose from, Battle:Los Angeles NOT being one of them. My goodness that movie was awful, even if you like sci-fi it was just such a poorly made film I found myself begging for it to be over. Boondock Saints gets a new release, not exactly sure what’s new that wasn’t in the first Blu-ray but if […]
