Just tested it out. Pretty neat. I don't see the animated gif yet on the url, but I bet that just takes a few minutes(?). It would be great to easily show menus/mouse clicks for how-tos that involve hitting menu options.

Creating a Meal Plan has been a godsend for us. I am horrible at looking at the available ingredients in the fridge/pantry and visualizing what meals I can make with them. Having a list of a few meals that I know we've planned for and have the ingredients to save me from my horrible thought process, "I should start…

When did the $40 student Prime membership get you Amazon Prime Instant Videos? It didn't used to, but I just checked and it seems to be able to prime videos for free.

Yup and yup. Combine that with an Amazon Visa card and you get some nice, free money for the everything store.

Now manufacturers need to understand this and start making standard phone docks instead of built in NAV units with poor programming/UI. They could even sell dock "adapters" so it could handle different phone sizes and charging port/headphone jack locations.

I also have been playing around with the one that I received Friday. I agree entirely with this post's general premise. As someone looking to replace my HTPC (used 90% for streaming), it is not ready to act on its own, but I think soon it will be a force to be reckoned with once the Cast SDK is taken advantage of by…

Perfect. Great series.

Win 8, Chrome: mp4 files play natively in Chrome with sound support. I think anything that's Chrome native looks good right now. Hit or miss with non-native plugins (including the Divx Web Player, I think? Can't get this to work at all. None of my .avi files are working).

I am testing this now and you can, but there are issues, mostly due to Chrome's use of plugins. On OSX Lion, I played a .mov in a chrome tab. The resulting cast was using the Quicktime plugin and the video played, but the audio was out of the computer, not the TV. I got a notification with this link below:

LG Tone Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset. Magnets hold the headphones in place when you're not listening to them. Generally fit below the collar of a dress shirt, so they are less conspicuous. Great sound quality, but I'm not an audio-snob. Good battery life. I put tape over the light on the left bumper so it wasn't…

Netflix offer is valid for Amazon purchases too (or at least the little logo on this screen would seem to indicate that).

I'm curious to see how this works with multiple accounts. It looked pretty swell on the demos, but I will withhold judgement until I get my mitts on some dongle.

Yeah, I hear you. However often people download on their un-unlimited mobile networks. A 15MB episode is easier to swallow than a 65MB episode when you're getting close to your monthly cap and don't have a wifi connection present. For spoken word, you'd be hard pressed to really hear a detrimental impact. (I agree…

Amazon has it in stock.

I'm very happy with the direction that Google has moved with Android. Fewer big releases, more incremental updates in-between releases, and using the play store to get software you would have normally expected to see in a new OS release.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to beat an HTPC in terms of flexibility. I have a gaming computer that I will be moving off TV duty and back where it belongs under my desk. Good thing I held off building a new, low power HTPC since I think this will fit the bill.

I'd check back. I got the "out of inventory" screen, but I just tried it again and I was able to get it processed.

Yeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss
