UPDATE: MakeMKV has evidence supporting that Leawo has simply ripped off MakeMKV, made some changes and is selling a product which will expire after 45 days. In other words, this product is a scam. I know we don’t normally link Press Releases here, but this one caught me so off guard I just had to share with you guys. This […]
Read moreThe World Cup is THE most watched sporting event in the world, and only comes around every 4 years. (Seriously, it destroys the numbers from the Super Bowl) Unfortunately since it’s in South Africa, the times of the games are all over the map. Here’s a handy list of online resources for you to um…..take breaks at work and watch […]
Read moreNot a ton to pick from this week. Caddyshack is of course a comedy classic but not sure the Blu-ray treatment is all that special for it–looking forward to finding out. The Illusionist was a good movie as well, but kinda old. So that leaves pretty much the only major new release… MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week Shutter Island I’m […]
Read moreFeaturing HDMI 1.4a including 3D support, this receiver should be getting some buzz. Looks like it does a solid job all around, and the $800 asking price isn’t completely unreasonable. Speaking of upconversion, the Integra DTR-30.2 utilizes the well known Faroudja DCDi chipset to upconvert and upscale all your sources (including composite, component, and VGA) to 1080p. Additional features include […]
Read moreI love these slides from Netflix. Having the confidence to post an internal document that includes competitors and fears is very brave, but they have some good points. 41 Pages, but it’s a good read if you have time. So what are Netflix’s biggest concerns going forward? Hulu and piracy. Hulu, with it’s forthcoming subscription model “could be significant […]
Read moreWe haven’t covered a lot of HTPC heatsinks recently (don’t worry, we will be!) but here’s one regarding one from Thermalright that looks to be solid. This review is going to take a look at a CPU cooler designed for use in an HTPC (home theater personal computer) that is compatible with Intel’s socket 775/1156/1366 processors, as well […]
Read moreI probably should have consolidated this other Mini-ITX case, but oh well. This one’s from Antec, and while it comes with a heftier price tag, it does have some nice features…most notably this thing is tiny! The appearance of the ISK 310-150 has been improved from the 300-150. The front view is much more aesthetical and it now looks like […]
Read moreHere’s a slick small Mini-ITX case for your eyes to behold. Nothing strikes me as revolutionary about this case, but given the high price some of these have, it’s nice to see this one come in easily under $100. While Thermaltake kept the wide and large similar to other products, the height almost doubles other Mini-ITX cases. I don’t […]
Read moreGreat podcasts here, although seems less than normal. Guess everyone else is busy as well. Enjoy! he biggest splash was of course Google TV. What is it? Why do I want it? Is it really innovation? All questions that were, and continue to be, asked in the wake of the announcement. We discuss the merits of potentially another box in […]
Read moreCan’t help but laughing when I read something like this from Mr. Jobs, but can’t argue with his success. Curious what this means for the upcoming AppleTV device…surely there has to be a twist with it’s plan on success, right? “The television industry fundamentally has a subsidized business model that gives everyone a set-top box, and that pretty much undermines […]
