Read moreWe saw an unboxing yesterday and today we get to see an actual review of the new LG BH100 dual player. I am not sure how you can do a review in a day, I guess those crazy bloggers get things done quicker. The downside to getting this player is that you do not get the HDi (interactive features) of […]
Read moreWhy would you want to do this? I had to go back to a previous blog, but, here's what he said about WiX v. 3.0: One of the biggest additions in WiX v3.0 is MSBuild integration for the Votive Visual Studio add-in for WiX. This means you can create a Visual Studio project (named a .wixproj), add it to the […]

Personally, I prefer building systems myself, or if I have to buy a system, going from smaller vendors like PC Alchemy, Niveus, Vidabox, etc., since I've always felt you get more attention from those guys since their customers are more important to their success since they're smaller.

Quite a price drop for Sony, their firs SXRD projector was $30,000….this one comes in at around $5000…yeah….I'd say that might help sales a bit.

Let's just hope HAL..err….Rosie…doesn't get mad & try to kill them all, eh? 😛 Rosie has control of lights, the garage door, the thermostat and fans. She can also play MP3s, monitor the stock market, provide the weather forecast and […]
Read moreI don't know about you guys, but my STB is no where near as loud as my 360, even when it's just doing basic extender functions. Plus the fact that it'll then compete with it's own MCE boxes makes no sense to me (why no mention of IPTV for Vista MCE?!?!). But hey…I just work here 😛 With its software […]
Read moreThis can only mean one thing…..lower prices on better technology! In the end, the consumer wins…we hope. LG Electronics (LGE) recently said shipments of its PDPs (plasma display panels) dropped 36% sequentially to 580,000 units in the fourth quarter of 2006 due to sever competition from LCD technology in the worldwide 40-inch-class TV market. Read the rest here.
Read moreWhilst browsing over at PVRWire, I came across this story about HAVA releasing a Slingbox competitor. It performs much like a Slinbox by allowing the streaming of Mpeg-2 and Mpeg-4 video to multiple PCs and it can be used as a TV tuner by Vista. The big question that I never see answered is how the GUI is. There is […]
