Another week, another reliable Media Center show podcast from Ian! This week up he has Jason Dunn up to discuss all things Zune and a potential future marriage with Xbox. It can only be so long before these things play apart, right? No mention of Media Center integration with it though, *sigh* Show Times: 00:23 Coming up this week 01:15 […]
Read moreHow they decided on 5900RPM is anyone’s guess but look’s like Western Digital finally has some competition in the 2TB world of hard drives. Time to save up and replace those WHS drives eh? 🙂 To be fair, the reviewers didn’t have a WD to put directly against this, but for standing alone it seems to be pretty capable. Hopefully […]

If you can’t sell it straight up, I guess you can just give it away and people will use it? They are including $50 in credit to start out with. It’s interesting in a week that saw announcements of integrated technologies–like Samsung+Blockbuster–built into their TV sets how adding a separate unit for free will work for Mitsubishi.

I don’t think I’ve hidden my disdain for all-in-one devices, they tend to be a support nightmare as well as difficult for the owner to part with if one feature breaks. That being said, if shelf space is a commodity to you, it may be worth it to your aesthetic side to not have a separate record player sticking out. […]

Interesting timing for the review after the Videophile roundup…those of you that are audiophiles start saving your pennies and maybe you can gush as much as reviewer Steve Guttenberg (no, not the one from Police Academy). But wow…that’s a lot of coin for a headphone setup.
Read moreI’ve been a huge fan of the old TechTV crowd, but always itched for more home theater content, especially from Robert Herron who has a scary amount of knowledge about all things HDTV. This first episode covers a number of topics, most interesting was the education on new 240Hz television sets, gigantic tv sets, and more! This might be more […]
Read moreLet’s see how Hulu answers this one! It will be interesting to see the release cycle of episodes, considering that I’m sure TV DVD sets are a large revenue maker for these companies. Maybe they are hoping if they are offered sooner online for subscribers, they will up their viewers? Either way, it’s pretty cool. ArsTechnica HBO and Cinemax content […]
