Squeezebox Touch unboxed and in the wild {Engadget}

Aug 28th 2009 11:06AM What is this? It just streams music and radio? Why can't you just use a PC in the first place? (And I mean that out of interest)

Assuming you already have a TV, this is what I'd do (well, what I have done)
PC in bedroom = £free (worth maybe £200? probably less)
Wireless router = £free with broadband
Xbox360 = £50
120gb HD (for the Xbox) = £50
Network adaptor = £35
Windows 7 candidate edition = £free, Preordered release version for £50
Wireless keyboard for PC = £30?

With that stuff, I can play whatever I want in two rooms (although WMC does take a while to connect on the 360).
And if you factor in the tuners and the 1tb HD in my PC (an extra £100 now, though I paid more) you get recorded TV, and Tivo style functionality.

I mean I might be wrong, but isn't that a better solution?

PlayOn media server now serving Wii customers (in beta, anyway) {Engadget}

Jul 30th 2009 7:38AM Media center PC + 360 is pretty good, but a little slow to respond. Does what I want it to do, and I don't care about 1080p.

Bristol's ViewSurfer TVs let you use XP from 10 feet away {Engadget}

Jul 6th 2009 4:46AM Or you could pick up a second hand pc, a 32" TV, at least one dual tuner card and a 1TB drive for less than that.

OMG: Shia LaBeouf totally 'not into' the Wii {Joystiq}

Jun 23rd 2009 8:09AM I hate him for ostensibly ruining Transformers by just being in it. He's probably a nice guy in reality. And given what I've heard about him, he probably said it in jest. Hell, I own about damn... probably about 20 consoles including handhelds, and the Wii happens to be one of them

Jun 23rd 2009 7:45AM You said it better than I ever could :)

Jun 8th 2009 6:55AM And when you're doing 80mph and Apple decides to remotely disable your instrumentation app...
Or hell, even if it reboots for any reason?
