    Keith Combs
    You wouldn’t think you could actually make a technology leap in high definition television at home.  I mean after all high definition televisions are all displaying the same thing, right?  Wrong.  I did it this past weekend and the results are still blowing me away every evening. A few...

    Keith Combs
    Yesterday afternoon I received the Acer AspireRevo 3610-U9012 . It’s classified as a consumer desktop or nettop but HDTV and media center enthusiasts like myself are looking at this device for a different purpose.  In fact, I want the Revo for one purpose and only one purpose.  To replace my...

    Keith Combs
    Machine sleeping is a bit of a mystery to many of us. It's one of those magical things that when it works right, really makes using a laptop computer, or Media Center recording machine a thing of beauty. I've been meaning to write an article on Magic Packets, but I see Robert Hensing just posted an article...

  • Blog Post: Xbox 360 LIVE Marketplace expands HD movie offerings

    Keith Combs
    When I switched from a Verizon rented HD DVR to the TiVo Series 3, I gave up video on demand and pay per view. At first glance this may be significant for many of you, but my family rarely purchased a PPV movie or event, and the VOD offering was entirely standard definition. Well, it's looking more and...

    Keith Combs
    I don't know about you, but vacations never seem long enough and going back to work is hard. You know, it's like kick starting a motorcycle that's been sitting in the garage too long. Lots of kicks before it finally comes to life. In my case, the past couple of weeks have been filled with a number of...

    Keith Combs
    The years of war seem to have taken a toll on Master Chief. In the latest picture of him from Halo 3, he seems a little skinny. Maybe it's the angle of the camera with that big gun. What's he using that for anyway? Click on the image above for the full size image. Oh, and if you haven't heard already...

    In case you haven’t noticed, the current rage is to have your Xbox360 automatically blog about your gaming “performance”. Of course, if you don’t use your Xbox360, it will also blog about what a pathetic loser you are as well. Either way, it’s a really entertaining idea...
