7-inch wide TFT display from Quixun

„It's expected to be somewhat pricey at around Y47,000, but could be an interesting option if you fancy doing some really hardcore DIY in-car electronics. The company suggests whacking a mini PC in the boot and using it as a car navigation system/DVD player controlled from the screen, for example.“

Potentially the Favorite Toy of Every Copyfighter
Ernest on 2004/03/26:
„Apex Digital , makers of famously inexpensive DVD players ($30!), has just announced the final specs for its soon-to-come, potentially revolutionary new PC Game Console/DVD player/PVR (Apex Digital Finalizes Spec for DVD Player/PC Game Console ). This will be the first major consumer device that really pushes convergence to the current, practical limits and, at a suggested retail price of $499, it seems pretty well-priced. It may not get everything right (first generation devices usually don't), but who knows?“

Latest Mac Update, Thoughts on Mac vs. Windows
Arcterex on 2004/03/16:
„This isn't a complete list of course, just what's on the Apple webiste, and it has Apple spin on what it's doing, but it's what people see when they click on the software update to see why it's a recommended install. + network volumes are now available in the Finder sidebar and Desktop for convenient access * improved file sharing and directory services for Mac (AFP), UNIX (NFS) and PC (SMB/CIFS) networks improved PostScript and USB printing + updated Disk Utility, DVD Player, Image Capture, Mail and Safari applications + additional support for FireWire and USB devices * improved compatibility for third party applications * previous standalone security updates and Bluetooth Update 1.5 So it looks like you get a 50/50 mix of "stuff fixed" and "stuff added" based on the press release. Some other bug fixes are no doubt hidden in there, but you get some nice new features as well. Now lets look at the latest of this month's security updates from Microsoft .“

What's more fun than blogging?
Doug Sauder on 2004/01/13:
„But for a Christmas present, I asked for, and got, a DVD collection of the complete season 6 of Friends in Geman. It's PAL video format, and it's Region 2 encoding on the DVD, but with a $50 DVD player permanently set to Region 2, watching the show on a PC is no problem.“

Gnomedex 3.0 review
mark on 2003/07/27:
„A black or silver micro-ATX case would probably look okay in the living room for much cheaper, and you don't have to spend the premium for the special motherboard. I could see running the PVR and music off the PC and using a set-top DVD player for DVD's.“

Why to keep older versions of MS software
cul on 2003/02/26:
„Windows Media Player 8, which comes with Microsoft's Windows XP, contacts a Microsoft Web server each time a new DVD is played on a computer. The server is given a unique fingerprint for the DVD and the media player client, allowing Microsoft to track what movies are watched on a particular PC, Smith wrote in his advisory posted at http://www.computerbytesman.com/privacy/wmp8dvd.htm .“

Is my brain safe?
Scott Chaffin on 2002/11/22:
„Now, with TiVos and such-like teevee devices getting Ethernet ports, I can see using a PC as a PVR-type device, as well as a DVD player for the whole house. I guess what I'm looking for is a transceiver for the teevee, maybe not TiVo or the satellite box.“
