Posted on 27. Nov, 2009 by .

The holy grail in Technology is finding the right product, at the right price, at the right time in a product’s life-cycle.  Retrevo tries to coordinate these different factors, and give customers a decent smattering of review site related to that product. There are a few very cool parts of the site.  I really appreciate [...]

Exclusive Illuminated Lightsaber Bookends (pre-order)

Posted on 18. Nov, 2009 by .

The Star Wars Shop has this set of illuminated bookends for pre-order. For those Star Wars geeks among us, you may have a few old-fashioned death-star manuals sitting around.  Nothing says, hey- I really embrace my geek, like a pair of these illuminated bookends.  And from what I hear, the lunar ladies of Endor really [...]

Blackberry Storm 2 trying to get noticed

Posted on 29. Oct, 2009 by .

Hey, over here! The release of the Blackberry Storm 2 on the Verizon’s network, yesterday, seemed to be the least publicized event in quite some time.  This product that has the ability to hold or expand RIM’s market share (currently at approx. 40%),  but with the marketing and pizazz of a Kleenex commercial, fails to [...]

Question: Should I switch from the Cablevision Scientific Atlanta 8300HD to a Tivo DVR?

Posted on 14. Sep, 2009 by .

I am one of the lucky few who is trapped into Cablevision‘s service plan.  Where I live in Northern NJ, we have lots of trees (Dish/DirecTV is out), and we are in a part of town that has no Verizon FiOS b/c of a crappy Englewood Central Office upgrade that has been taking forever.  Alas, [...]

Apple CFO says DVR, CableCARD not coming to Apple TV

Posted on 08. Sep, 2009 by .

They say, never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.  This is Apple in a nutshell.  Why do they always do this?  THey said, “it didn’t mesh with Apple’s business”.  Yeah, I could see how controlling the Home Media interface with all of your sources could really be a bummer, Apple.  How about being able [...]

Apple Tablet OS… next evolution of AppleTV?

Posted on 13. Aug, 2009 by .

In the post,This Kind of Looks Like the Apple Tablet OS To Me – Gizmodo, I think that this kind of OS is exactly where the media server/AppleTV should be.  The AppleTV is a perfect platform (an increase in processor speed is necessary) for this purpose.  802.11n, USB, Ethernet, HDMI, TOSLink.  I would add an [...]
