What is GoogleTV?
This video has been going around since yesterday and creating quite a buzz. Would love to get everyone’s thoughts on this.

Check Out the Largest TV in the World
This is just cool. Ridiculously expensive, but still super cool. Now HERE’S a 3D set I might not mind watching. Then again, not sure I even have a wall big enough for this 😛 You also saw our first-glimpse of it at CES 2010 … but it’s worth another look. InfoComm 2010 attendees – even tall ones – had […]
Read moreArgosy HV676 MediaPlay USB HD Media Player
I’ve not heard of Argosvy, and considering this box doesn’t support HD….well, it’s just odd. But anyhow, a review for your reading pleasure. A small plastic scratch tape goes across the front and around the sides of the unit, as well as a large one across the top that is almost missable. The back is uncovered, and looking at […]
Read moreJune 15th Blu-ray Releases
After a skimpy week of releases last week, there are a fair number of good selections this week. Mary & Max received a lot of positive reviews, but I was rather bored throughout it. The Stepfather was a dreadfully unoriginal thriller, predictable from start to finish. Luckily there are some gems here–who can forget the CLASSIC FLASH GORDON!?!??! Seeing fat […]
Read moreXbox 360 Gets Live Sports In HD From ESPN
This is meh for me, I use ESPN3.com from my HTPC as it is today, but at no extra cost besides a XBox Live membership, it’s probably worth checking out. Would love to see a native MCE plugin for ESPN3 though…. No, this live sporting access won’t be entirely free, but it’s one hell of a deal. You simply […]
Read moreBoxee Box Delayed Until November
Yikes! Another big blow to us lowly HTPC fans. First the Ceton tuner delays, now the Boxee Box is delayed. Hey Boxee, how about a teaser and just letting us buy that groovy remote for now!??!? Development of the software took longer than expected, Ronen said, stressing how important it was to get things like Flash 10.1 including Flash hardware […]
Read moreA Look Around ESPN’s 3D Master Control Room
I think you all know I’m not a huge fan of 3D, but seeing something like this is still pretty cool. Being able to see ANY control room is pretty sweet, let alone the first 3D sports room ever. But okay, as long as I’m "enjoying" the Uruguay-France game on my small laptop screen, maybe I’m jealous of you 3D […]
Read morePlaying Blu-ray under Linux
I sure didn’t think this was possible…should get a lot of people fairly excited if it’s true, since Blu-ray on linux has been a major limitation for as long as I can remember. It’s possible to playback Blu-ray disks under Linux with an open source player lxBDPlayer. There is an Ubuntu/Debian package on the project web site. So, if you’re […]
Read moreWeekly Podcast Roundup, June 11th 2010
I’m sure you non-sports/soccer fans are going to be happy for this massive list of podcasts for the weekend and next week. Enjoy! Contrast ratio, or the ratio of brightness between full white and full black on screen can be a very revealing number. Since most sets can go full white, it really tells you how black a set can […]
