    We live in a world where a 1.5TB Seagate Baracuda hard drive costs only $95

    Starting off your Tuesday with a quick deal. Amazon has a 1.5TB Seagate Baracuda (7200RPM, SATA II, 32MB cache) for $95—a full $100 off the regular price. Could make a fine storage drive, you know, for all those “digital photos” you have. Pretty sure “digital photos” is codeword for Blu-ray rips and the like.

    The buzzword is 3D. Everywhere you look in the videophile forums, they’re talking about 3D. Its future is still a little hazy; glasses, no glasses, polarized, anaglyph.. no one really knows. Today, Sony has made its bets and showed a glimpse into that future by releasing its new lineup of 3D displays. Details and full press release inside. Clicky clicky!

    Thank you papa Sony for the HDMI

    Posted on June 3, 2010 | No Comments
    There is nothing worse then getting home after buying a PS3 - for use as a Blu-ray - and realizing no one told you the box comes missing one important item. If this happened to you, then you know how it felt to watch a Blu-ray through component because Sony decided to skip out on the HDMI cable.

  • There will be a Mass Effect movie. Will Lost’s Matthew Fox play Commander Shepard?

    There will be a Mass Effect movie. Will Lost’s Matthew Fox play Commander Shepard?

    Posted on May 25, 2010 | No Comments
    It's takes a special type of nerd to read a video game's novelization, and I'm none too proud to say that I recently started reading the Mass Effect novel. But there's a certain quiet dignity in reading a novelization that simply isn't present when sitting at the multiplex (or downloading the Blu-ray rip, as it were) watching a movie. Get ready: EA has sold the movie rights to Mass Effect, and it's gone to Legendary Pictures, the same people behind The Dark Knight, Watchmen, and The Hangover. So there's hope the movie won't be total dross.

  • Would America support a national broadband tax or is that too ‘big government’?

    Would America support a national broadband tax or is that too ‘big government’?

    Posted on May 20, 2010 | No Comments
    The Cousins were mulling over a broadband tax, but the new Government has put a stop to that. (Now they're considering using some of the BBC license fee to fund broadband development.) The idea was to charge people 50p (around $0.70) per month to fund the expansion of broadband into rural areas. Would such a move work here in the U.S.? Would you be willing to pay, say, $1 per month, paying toward some sort of Broadband Fund, to ensure that people in the middle of nowhere have access to reliable broadband? What's more American than wanting to help your neighbors?

    Call me crazy, but wasn't the point of Avatar to go see it in 3D on the big screen? Otherwise, why bother? Be that as it may, Avatar is on track to hold the distinction of being the most pirated Blu-ray release of all time. Nice job, guys!

    What do you get when you combine the new Dell Latitude E6410 with a semi-rugged frame? Obviously this ATG model. Yeah, I know, lame joke but I don't have time to to think of a more clever intro so deal with it.

    So Lord of the Rings (hereafter called LOTR) is coming out on Blu-ray tomorrow. Cool, having it in HD will nice. Better sound and maybe better picture. But you shouldn't buy the version that comes out tomorrow, because you won't be happy.

    The second half of SGU's first season starts this Friday. We already know it should be a good one thanks to the MGM teaser showing off that ugly baddie. But some crazy fans might hold off until June 13 when the Blu-ray is released sans all the commericals and probably with high-quality picture and sound. But that's not me.
