        yeah, the “fling” idea has been around Boxee for quite some time. I’m curious what major deals Google has in the works on this. Hulu is owned actually by several major studios (NBC for sure), so as you mentioned, unless Google promises large $$$ it’s hard to see them complying

            Yes, drivers can cause what you’re seeing. especially if the BIOS and bootup screen are just perfectly fine. Ugadata is spot on with his advice. and once you’re in, you can roll back the driver (and honestly, you can reboot as well and then reinstall the same driver, and everything will probably be ok).

            I’ve had weird issues when i do bulk updates on a system and don’t reboot between each significant one.

                    hopefully y’all saw the Fandango Visa Signatures deal for B1G1 free coupon over at Slickdeals.net

                    not on my plans to go see….it’s tough to justify paying to watch a movie outside when i just paid a lot to make my own home theater nice 🙂 that being said, the movie does look pretty good….except for Randy Couture…dude can fight, but terrible actor

                    Terrible actor?  While that wouldn’t surprise me, what movies have you seen him in?  I wasn’t even aware he’d been in other movies.

                    love the guy as a fighter. seen him in: Redbelt, Scorpion King, and then one other “fighting” movie that had a bunch of even worse MMA guys (like GSP, Penn) but don’t remember the awful title 😛 But yeah, haven’t seen Expendables yet…but just saying…he hasn’t sold me thus far as an actor.

                            Also please exactly which other xbox is it you have? i see you have an xbox slim but is the other one an arcade or elite? how many gigs of storage?
                            I wanted to buy a plain vanilla xbox arcade which to my knowledge has almost no storage and little ram…

                            There should be absolutely 0 difference in Extender experience between any XBox 360, new or old, fyi. The benefit to the Slim is that it’s quieter and uses less power.

                                i’m still obviously on the burn-in stages, but i normally watch tv at night anyways so having to turn the contrast and brightness down doesn’t bother me. stil super impressive.

                                and….playing madden on this is so awesomely awesome compared to my old 32″. not sure it makes me a better player, but i sure think it does something 😉
