Looks like this last Tuesday (10/7) Hulu released their desktop application for Linux.  I haven’t had a chance to try it yet but I will probably take it for a spin one of these days.  We Linux users have finally caught up to you Windows people.  🙂  There appear to be 32- and 64-bit versions built on Fedora 11 and […]

Quite an interesting–though, not surprising around these parts–study, to say the least.  QUICK…  hide this study from the cable companies before they decide to simply tell people they’ve improved the quality of the HD they’re seeing:  Dear valued cable customer, you are now receiving Cabletastic Extreme HD Vision-enabled channels.  Enjoy the enhanced picture quality!   …an experiment was conducted to […]

I don’t normally post this type of news, but I know I am not the only person super excited about this movie. Probably one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen, and remains funny even after the 4th time, which is hard to do. December 15th is the magic date, making your Christmas present that much easier to get. HighDefDigest […]

Well, I can see this going over like a lead balloon*.  I truly hope the FCC steps up and tells them, "No way, no how; not now, not ever!"  What’s that other saying?  Give them an inch… *Nevermind the Mythbusters episode which busted that saying.   Cablevision Systems Corp. wants the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to lift a rule that […]

Impractical, but awesome   To get rid of the mess of wires from his many videogame consoles, PopSci reader Brian De Vitis decided to repurpose his R2-D2-shaped cooler. The engineering student modified its legs and repainted it to look more realistic. Then he stacked the motherboards from the eight consoles on shelves inside, added a sound system, and rearranged the […]
