Take this news with a grain of salt, as apparantly the documentary is from a local japanese news station, not exactly reuters. But interesting nonetheless and does shed some light on a format I knew nothing about. According to Wikipedia , the only big studio so far supporting the format is Warner Brothers (since March 2009), but apparantly the format […]

Fellow MVP Chris Lanier has some ideas as to what the Microsoft store concept leaks which came out last week might mean for Media Center. Some interesting thoughts indeed…. Chris Lanier I don’t believe that the content providers are interested in seeing Hulu on the big screen as it would jeopardize traditional content delivery. Hulu’s entry into the 10-foot UI […]

Great review, and even better news for plasma lovers all. This should help ease the hearts of saddended Pioneer fans…wonder how long before we forget they even made plasmas. 🙂 HDGuru.com The TC-PV10 betters the G10 in black level, “pop”, judder free film reproduction and user accessible gray scale adjustment (though one needs an expensive meter to obtain […]

I always find it annoying when a feature is released but with quite a few caveats…unfortunately it looks like the Xbox’s Movie Party feature is one such feature in regards to playback of Starz movies. With my experience with Netflix streaming, quite a few of them are from Starz, so that’s pretty dissapointing. Click on over a video of the […]

The review is actually from Engadget Spanish, but here’s a snippet of what its all about. It seems like every week there are at least 3 of these types of extender devices released, which is great for the consumer as that should keep driving the prices down. If it does make it to the US, I’d implore them to replace […]

Not only does it include wireless connectivity and the ability to access flickr or picaso but it is also a monitor for TRENDnet IP cameras. I personally think that’s kind of slick. This is a very interesting […]
Read moreWhile not directly HTPC related, Bjorn 3D did a nice writeup on how to make a bootable NTFS USB drive. One of those things that might come in handy some day. It’s fairly short, so I thought it was worth the read. That’s all you have to do to create a Bootable NTFS Disk but what can you do […]

Watchmen is one of the most anticipated Blu-ray releases for a while, and it’s good to see that it lives up to expectations. Not just from a picture quality perspective–which you knew would be stunning–but the bonuses and extended length make it worthwhile. And it better be–the director’s cut runs over 3 hours long!!

I can’t imagine seeing this on retail shelves in the US anytime soon–it’s simply too expensive and lavish…and light colored. That being said, it is pretty cool to look at. If you’re shocked by the price, just think if it was Sony it would be $500 more Engadget Unfortunately, while the unit sports an iPod dock and 4.3-inch LCD, […]

This won’t give y ou any flashing lights that you so desparately crave, but fortunately it does seem to bring quite a bit of file compatibility with it, and for a very affordable $100. With every non-MCX extender that comes out for $100 I just dream of what could have been for Media Center Extenders had they not been so […]
