Have you been wondering what are the different offerings between Hulu free, Hulu Plus & Netflix? Well here’s a pretty darned long comparison chart showing off just exactly that.   Free Hulu doesn’t have too much in the way of full seasons, but they’re not without their gems. Especially older shows like Highlander and Doogie Howser. Though, putting Doogie Howser […]

Plex is pretty sexy for Mac users, and they’ve been working hard on the next version. While you wait, here are some teasers of some skins some developers have created…pretty sweet stuff.     As if helping us with MediaStream wasn’t enough, they also have their hands in their own skins as well as Plex ports of other skins, such […]

Pretty interesting report here on how people are digesting content. No surprise that the older crowd is much more stuck on actual Live TV watching than the younger crowd, but the numbers for TV are still over 50%. Wonder how long before that drops even more.         The alternatives to live TV are growing and basic cable […]

  This, dear friends, is a sad, sad day. ATI, the name of hope for all PC gamers who were sick and tired of NVIDIA rebadging the same GPU over the past couple of years, is to be no more. The callous souls over at AMD have decided that our little consumer brains aren’t sophisticated enough to handle two awesome […]

It’s not very often that something lives up to the "Ultimate" billing (cough… Vista), but GeekTonic’s guide to the fall TV schedule does it in spades.  If you’re like me and never watch commercials this is how I find out what’s new.   Here’s how this works.  With this post you get a listing of all of the major US […]

Honestly though, I wasn’t even aware there were even this many fanless power supplies still being made. With 120mm PSU’s dominating the market while being very quiet and helping cool, the demand for 100% silent really has diminished. […]

Pretty cool little installation here, where the user basically built the computer inside his entertainment center. Shows some good thinking outside the box, no pun intended 🙂 Overall looks very clean.         You’ll need to size the board according to your motherboard and components. In my case, the PC is a gutted Dell Inspiron 518 Core 2 […]

I’ve never been a TiVo user–loved the idea, but hated the monthly costs–but this new remote is a pretty cool little device. It’s not really all that unique, it’s basically taking the idea from any old cell phone, but with a remote front instead of a screen. But it’s still pretty cool, although…for $90 I would rather buy a Dinovo […]

I know GoogleTV is all the buzz right now on extender devices, but Sony is trying to get their name in the space and have a pretty solid product, with support for apps like Netflix, Slacker, Pandora as well as being a DLNA player, at around $130 is not all that bad. I’m not a fan of the interface, which […]
