HDBlog has some insight on who will win the BluRay/HD-DVD wars, and they seem pretty convinced it'll be PS3. I'm not that convinced that there's that many people anxious to spend $600 that will make it such a landslide, but I do agree Microsoft kinda screwed the pooch with only having a separate HD-DVD player add-on, and being only for […]
Read moreI always thought the Squeezebox was an awesome product that just needed more publicity, and now with Logitech behind it, they shouldn't have any problem getting their products out. I feel old remembering the first Squeezebox that was essentially just a 40×2 VFD display in a cheapo case, with some ethernet cable, but it was still very cool & it's […]
Read moreIt's funny how things come back from the past. You remember TV/VCR combos and how horrible they were? Believe me, I worked at Best Buy's Tech Support back in the day, and we saw SOOO many of those break. But hey, maybe technology has improved the "combo" unit's stability problems. While I continue laughing, read one, it's still a slick […]
Read moreTom's Hardware takes a look at the new Westinghouse LCD monitor. It's good to see Westinghouse still around, they make very affordable TVs that are pretty solid, especially for the price. That however, is the #1 feature they find in it, but hey, I still wouldn't kick it out of bed 🙂 Perhaps the best feature of the LVM-47w1 is […]

C|Net reviews the 3rd generation of Sony's LocationFree Base Station. I recall reading about their first version a while ago which had nothing but problems. It's good to see them not giving up on a product, and giving Slingbox some competition. Worst case, you can fake your friends out and say it's a new Playstation 3… Both new Base […]
Read morePCMag has a very comprehensive photo blog from Digital Life last week. It looks like they took 1000 pictures, but if you're bored at work, there's some neat things mentioned & shown. Take a look here.
Read moreHome Theater HiFi stays true to their name with a fairly comprehensive comparison/benchmark of 6 DVD Players & 2 Video Processors. Very informative if you're in the market, they lost me after the first sentance though….I just can't keep my attention when I have to scroll 50 pages down & there's no "conclusion" 🙂 I have no quote from the […]
Read moreAudioholics reviews this 1080p projector which comes in at just under $1000 (and when I say JUST, I mean JUST, the thing costs $999). But hey, still better than most with the same features, so yeah, go get one of these too while you're at it. For $2999 this projector would have a TON of competition and would be difficult […]
Read moreSound & Vision Magazine review a droolworthy 50" Plasma from Pioneer's Elite series. No surprise that they love it, but of course, it aint cheap! But we know you all have the money anyways, so go get one! You expect a very crisp high-def picture from a 1080p TV, and the Pioneer Elite PRO-FHD1 definitely delivered. Watching another scene from […]
Read moreEngadget pointed out this clever mod from a member of the TIVO community. Seems he just didn't have enough storage…so he did the reasonable thing: Upgrade to 1 friggin terabyte! …expanding the capacity of his Series3 TiVo from the standard 250GB to a whole terabyte, which takes the S3's total recording capacity up to a possible 131 hours of HD […]
