    Roku XD Media Player

    Roku has focused so much on cheap and easy Netflix set top boxes that I assume it's been difficult to break that momentum. They have to see that the ability to stream across your local network is paramount for future success. True success. They already have solid hardware and for what they...

    Roku XD Media Player

    Thank you for the kind comments. Unfortunately there isn't any way to stream content from your PC or anywhere else on your network. Roku has said that DLNA support is coming but but they haven't elaborated on whether or not it's going to be with the current lineup of devices or if it will be...

    WikiLeaks

    There are things that need to be kept secret. There are too many lives dependent upon tight lipped security operations. I read through a lot of the major "secrets" leaked and kind of ended with a "meh". Most of the stuff released might not have been known to be true, but was highly expected...

    Roku XD Media Player

    I hit up the local gas station almost every single day. If I want something special, I hit up Starbucks but I prefer cheap coffee from a pot.

    Anyone that can give Starbucks competition is cool with me. Well played Canada.

    I regard Red Green as a hero. He alone is all I need from Canada. Well, his show and Rob's unwavering love.

    TRENDnet TEW-637AP Wireless N Access Point

    How do you have the 637AP setup? Do you have DHCP enabled? If you do, you will want to disable it and let your router handle the IP address assigning. Have you tried to hard set your IP address on the device you are trying to connect to the 637? If so, try that and see if you can communicate...

    Roku XD Media Player

    Optix, vimeo is just an online repository of user created video content. It was also the easiest way for me to get streamable 1080p content to test if the Roku could keep up. The different channels are interesting and a nice addition to the versatility of the device. I did want to mention in...

    If A GPU & A NIC Had A Baby...

    NVIDIA has done a little with the PhysX platform but Majnu and the team at Ageia LUCKED out when they were acquired by NVIDIA. It's as simple as that. They got rewarded with a good amount of money for technology that they created and NVIDIA wanted for some reason or another. The Killer NIC...

    Patriot Viper II Sector 7 3X2GB DDR3 1600MHZ 8-8-8-24

    I agree with Optix, a fan is a better solution in any situation. Spreaders do make the modules look better sometimes. I love my Ballistix with the blue LEDs :)

    Seagate Believes in a Hybrid HDD Future, not an SSD One

    I'm actually amazed that this is just now getting press. This idea has been around for a while and was supposed to be the industry's segway into SSDs for everybody. If they can make these affordable, and put a good amount of flash on the drives, I see the potential for this to be a successful...

    Apple's MacBook Air is Thin, So What Competes on the PC Side?

    I disagree with the idea that they are overpriced. The liquid metal body that they are using on their notebooks and iMacs is a fantastic idea. There aren't exhaust ports for a fan, the body acts like a giant heatsink and disipates the heat. They have Core2 CPUs, which makes them more powerful...

    Tornado went right by my house

    I'm glad to hear that you are fine. Storms like that one can be scary. There were some serious storms yesterday. Here in Indianapolis, there were sightings all around the surrounding counties. A line of red ran from Chicago to Evansville. Depending on the time, this may have been the same...

    Apple's MacBook Air is Thin, So What Competes on the PC Side?

    I can't speak for the other notebooks mentioned but the new Air is awesome. Apple has been pumping out a lot of quality products and the Air isn't any different. It does lack connections, only having power, 2 USB, video out and a headphone jack but given it's size, this is forgivable. I love...

    PC Parts (used in a awesome build)

    Christ man, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope everyone else in the car is alright. Nice build. That's a very respectable machine you have there.

    GIGABYTE Aivia K8100 Gaming Keyboard

    I really don't care for the red but that's a personal preference. The back lit keys are something that every keyboard should have. No exceptions. Not even on notebooks. I love the fact that they are thoughtful enough to include a few W,A, S and D keys at replacements. I still haven't been...

    Are Games Getting Easier?

    If you haven't played the two new Mega Man games on either the 360 or PS3, you are missing out on some maddening, well made games. The same can be said for the new Sonic that's out. I think some games focus too much on the story and others on the game mechanics. Some, in the case of...
