8/10 UPDATE: The unit arrived this morning! Absolutely beautiful. Haven’t had a chance to play with it much yet, but thought I would share the picture!

Read moreLots of good releases this week including some classics being released such as Breakfast Club and Fargo. Splinter was a fun gruesome fest, as was the classic Kalifornia. Honestly wasn’t too big a fan of Bull Durham, but there are out there so it’s out on BD now as well. Oh and Charlie’s Angels, how could I have missed that. […]
Read moreOur friends at WeGotServed recently dealt with a topic we all *believe* to be true, but they went ahead anyways and actually got some concrete facts to go along with it.

Looks super impressive, if only I had multiple rooms period, this thing would be well worth the investment so it seems. Remember back when […]
Read moreNow here’s one you might not have predicted (or maybe you did), Netflix’s costs on licensing streaming movie exceeds the bandwidth. NOW, the question that remains is, as the features of streaming and quality improve requiring more bandwidth, does it hit into their profits greater? According to its 10-K filing, Netflix spent $66 million in the second quarter 2010 to […]
Read moreYou can either take this as good or bad news, depending on your own optimism. I think a more focused Microsoft makes for the better, as it will hopefully prevent seemingly abandoned technologies such as the Extenders. Only time will really tell what this all means, if their "TV" definition even includes MCE. Actually, Microsoft has eight core focus areas, […]
