I don’t think this is surprising at all, but still an interesting report to take a look at. I take it as a positive that even given the significant growth of web-enabled game consoles, the PC-to-TV connections also continue to grow. Parks Associates’ Digital Lifestyle: 2010 Outlook report finds that web-connected game consoles outpaced PC-to-TV connections in 2008, 2009, and […]

I think this is a great idea, although if your budget is really tight you can easily find some higher end Harmony models for cheap on eBay often. But still, this is good to get the Harmony brand into more hands. Like others in Logtech’s lineup, the new Harmony 300 can be programmed to control multiple devices, via a USB […]
Read moreThe GoogleTV is gaining a lot of buzz, so here’s something that sneaked in over the UK from 3View that combines a ton of various content.

I have to admit, I kinda like this idea. Just think how confused visitors would be if you had this alongside an Xbox 360 Elite! This model will run on an Intel E6500 2.93GHz processor, hold 2GB RAM, a 512MB GeForce GT220 graphics card as well as HDMI out connectivity for you to hook it up to your LCD TV […]
Read moreEDIT: Beginning this week, I will start noting the Warner Brothers titles which will have the 30-day rental window imposed on them. I will place ** next to the title. I can’t remember a week with fewer overall selections of Blu-ray titles, but there are always at least one winner. I did have the unfortunate luck of watching "Housebroken" with […]
Read moreI’ve personally used this PSU from FSP, but this has been around for a long time–it is only 400 watts. But, ever since Antec got out of the Phantom-silent PSU’s, this is one of the last remaining players in the game.
