Been a bit behind on the podcasts, but figured this would help make your Monday go by fast. Here are the podcasts from last week! Entertainment 2.0-Episode 69: CableCard: The Good and The Bad There’s been a lot of cablecard news lately and we’re lucky as it’s not all bad. Of course, Ceton delaying their card until May 31st is […]
Read moreNow here’s some good news for those who have been waiting. Although it’s still quite annoying that it has taken this long to come, and I’m quite curious to hear what "technical issues" could be on the PC that aren’t on the Xbox. Hacking Netflix HD is limited by content licensing and tech issues that we’re working on. We expect […]
Read moreI can’t imagine playing like this for very long, but looks like a fantastic way to try out 3D gaming without buying a new display and $150 glasses. It just uses the standard red/blue glasses that you probably have somewhere at home. I plan on trying this out tonight, as soon as I get some games loaded back on […]

Windows Home Server’s add-in support has been a blessing for many users, adding features which people found WHS to be lacking or simply enhancing existing features. However, most of the community add-ins have been free, but that tide seems to be changing and Microsoft itself seems to […]
Read moreInteresting though too early to get excited about anything. A little more than a week ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that Google and DISH Network had begun testing a set-top box that uses Google as a search algorithm. In a story published late Wednesday, The New York Timeswent a step further, claiming that a "Google TV" platform is in the works, from Intel, […]
Read moreEngadget has a good scoop on the FCC regulations about a deployable security gateway instead of CableCARD and their new mandates to cable companies about CableCARD enabled devices in the mean time.
