VOTE: HTPC: It can do just about whatever you want and the customizability is in your hands. AmazonVOD/Youtube/Hulu/Vudu plus any other internet video is easily accessible. XBMC provides local VOD that no other interface can even come close to. You can also run servers off of an HTPC such as Plex or Playon to stream…

With regard to no.2 Flash has worked great with my Android tablet. HBOGo, Amazon VOD, tons of games, all without any issues. Hulu is the only trouble spot and that's probably more due to Hulu intentionally not wanting compatibility.

Amazon has lots of Nick Jr. shows and can stream to any devices that can handle Flash. Its great having a library of familiar shows within easy reach when taking a potentially fussy toddler on vacation.

There's still quite a few negatives from the original review that are still issues. 4G was delayed until summer, along with the Bionic launch. MicroSD access isn't officially enabled (rooting is required to make it work). Google's update go pushed back as well.

Of the types of people willing to spend too much of their disposable income on A/V I've noticed three groups, those chasing technical specs, the "audiophiles" and those looking beautiful/expensive design. B&O seems to cater squarely to that third, most lucrative group. Take a high end product from another…

Back before wikipedia and google there was something almost mystical about the listing of author's other works. Depending on the clout of the particular author they might contain books published with other publishers or more often had conspicuous gaps.

The problem with the big companies dying is that it just leaves the remaining ones stronger. For example, ClearChannel.

Its an interesting twist on how I understand many insects generally operate. Insects immune systems use a limited cocktail of antibiotics and antibacterials that gets mixed up from generation to generation via evolution. Because their life cycles are shorter, insects don't need as much adaptability in their immune…

I used the garbage bag and duct tape solution over the A/C units that originally came with my apartment. Since replacing them there has either been much less leakiness or the less excessively windy cold winters. Probably more the latter considering the heat was only on a handful of times the whole winter.

@drfaustus71: Completely agree with you. I'm currently using XBMC for local media and evaluating different streaming platforms. Nothing really can match up to XBMC in the local media arena, particularly when it comes to handling metadata. The major drawback is the extra time investment needed to make things work…

@Matt0505: A nettop isn't going to be able to give you cablecard support or PS3/360 quality games. It takes a good bit more hardware than what nettops currently have available to do that. You can get there with a bit larger of a box and much deeper pockets but it would be a regular HTPC rather than a nettop.

@Arggh! there goes a...snake a snake!:

@92BuickLeSabre: There are some roasters designed for home use such as the Iroast2 that come with an attachment for a duct. It lets you vent the smoke out of a nearby window and doesn't take up much space when not in use.

I believe that trust is the main issue faced by the audiophile world. The most significant factors in good audio are the analog components, mainly the speakers. The electronics and especially the accessories for the electronics (cables and interconnects) can perform beyond the limits of human hearing. How can…

There's a huge difference between a patent application and a press release. All this means is that about a year and a half ago someone at Canon had a concept for in camera HDR that was fleshed out enough to draft an application around. It doesn't mean that a commercial implementation has been developed or even…
