Serious TiVo Head
DeLong on 2004/09/07:
„I learned three other tidbits of interest to TiVo freaks. First, Toshiba's upcoming SD-H500 is a beautiful TiVo unit with a DVD player built in-a handy space saver. Second, TiVo's HDTV model will be available in about a year; it's up and running in prototype form. Finally, TiVo expects to break even next quarter, and to become profitable for 2003-welcome news if you've ever worried that if the company went under, you'd be saddled with a dead box.“

7-inch wide TFT display from Quixun
aragoto on 2004/04/02:
„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 .“

Linksys Wireless DVD Player Linksys wireless DVD player

„The Linksys DVD Player with Wireless-G Media Link (WMLD54G) plugs into a TV and home stereo via standard composite, component or S-video cables. It normally operates as a DVD player but can also bring in streaming audio and video and still images from a PC over an 802.11g wireless Lan.“

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.“

Gateway becoming Sony?
kwc on 2003/07/01:
„I thought I'd post this because I grew up buying Gateway computers, and I think it's really cool that they're finally heading in this direction (after some lukewarm attempts with the Destination PC). Gateway is now selling a "Connected" DVD player , which includes an 802.11b connection and can stream content from your PC. They also have the Media Center PC , which comes with a 42" plasma screen (yum - though TiVo would be much nicer than Media Center). This interview on CNet with Ted Waitt indicates that they are probably going to lauch more products in the consumer electronic space.“

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 .“

Medal Of Honor - PS2
Eric on 2003/02/08:
„Actually, we needed another DVD player and I was starting to ring up some $$$$ with a list of upgrades to make our home PC more game capable. The idea of simply going with a console and killing two birds with one stone stone came to me a couple of weekends ago. And surprisingly, the wife went for it.“

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.“
