Pocket is handy for this, you can save articles and have them read back to you using a Text-to-Speech engine. There are a few decent ones on Android, I use Ivona with a Welsh accent language pack installed which is pretty neat. The downside is Pocket only reads one article at a time so I'm constantly having to slow…

Even though the XBox One's HDMI passthrough will allow you to access your cable/satellite source, it won't allow you to control that box at the same time - you won't be able to control the cable box with its remote while watching TV through the Xbox One, with the Xbox One just being a dumb signal router, sadly. This…

Uh...yeah, Nintendo TVii supports Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon VOD, like we mentioned above. It's not a replacement TV service, it doesn't offer its own content, and it's not designed to make your Wii U a set-top box. It's essentially the name of the sub-category you enter to get to the video services we've already…

This is true - but the PS3 wasn't *that* much better in this regard, and I highly doubt a bunch of new codec support will be rolled into either new console. All in all, applications like PS3 Media Center and TVersity and other on-the-fly transcoders fill that gap when necessary, especially if you're using DLNA to…

And I can do all of this right now with XBMC. I have a Wii and tow Xbox's and they never get used. My XBMC machine gets used every day. If I pick up something it would just be to extend my media playing to other TVs so I'd probably get something like the Ouya since it's $99 and has an XBMC app. No way I'd pay $500…

They are definitely different types of lockouts, but they will be indeed region-free for disc playback - or rather, I should say the press material I studied for this piece indicated that they will be. Like I mentioned to another commenter, I could be completely wrong about this, but I've seen a number of articles…

Are you sure about that? Everything I read said that playback would be reigon free as well, but I'm totally open to being wrong about it (and if I am, I'll happily correct the above).

Eh, I think it's cute. I miss the days when I got that worked up over a game being announced.

There is a vas deferens between your joke and response, +1.

Haha - yeah they deliver underwear in the mail and they're awesome ... but don't judge a post by its URL! As manpacks confirm on this thread, not only was that a pro dentist's guest post, it was the same guy whom LH referenced in http://lifehacker.com/5991833/brush-…

I work for a very large global company with close to 6,000 Windows servers, we use Sophos on all of them. While the discussion is about the Mac version, I thought it worth mentioning that if a global company like mine entrusts that many servers with the program, it should help say at least a little about the Mac…
