Boxee inks deal with first hardware partner: a 'Boxee Box' is coming {Engadget}
Nov 12th 2009 3:47PM @Rob. Boxee does give back to the XBMC community. Or did you not notice the "sponsored by Boxee" logo on the xbmc.org home page. They are contributing financially to XBMC development.
Thrustmaster T-Freestyle NW is your next Wii skate / snowboard controller {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2009 4:03PM Thrustmaster has been around for a long time. They made their name in the early 90s when flight simulators were all the rage. I had the whole Flightstick/Throttle/Rudder set-up. The name actually made some sense when the games involved simulated airplanes with actual thrust controls. Now it just sounds pornorific.
Speaking of which, gotta love the porno-tech titles today. "Thrustmaster" and "Chocolate Touch". The late night skinemax double feature.
ViewSonic's VMP70 media player does 1080p for less than a hundie {Engadget}
Nov 5th 2009 3:38PM Then get an ion based nettop, and put XBMC on it. No reason to wait. Heck, you can even do it with AppleTV if the big A hasn't blocked it again.

Best Buy partnering with CinemaNow to stream first-run DVDs to 'all web-connected devices sold' {Engadget HD}
Nov 3rd 2009 11:24AM In theory, this is a decent idea. And it is just another step in the inevitable fall of physical media. But my biggest concern with this type of offering is this: what happens to my license to access the media when the company offering it goes out of business, or shuts down the service? Do I just lose the dozens of movies that I've bought from them? It has to come with some kind of certificate of ownership that I can submit to the original rights holder (you know, the MPAA members) to get my copy of the movie if the service ever goes under. Otherwise, no sale.
And, yeah, there is that whole bandwidth problem. I'm sure the ISPs are going to want to either throttle this, or find a way to tack on a surcharge.
XBMC ARM port teased, will manage HD playback from pocket-sized Beagleboard (video) {Engadget HD}
Nov 2nd 2009 11:35AM XBMC rocks. A shining star of what open source can do.
MIT's Affective Intelligent Driving Agent is KITT and Clippy's lovechild (video) {Engadget}
Oct 30th 2009 1:16PM Looks more like a mechanical ET to me, than like Wall-E.
Rechargeable zinc-air batteries promise a lot, we'll see if they deliver in 2010 {Engadget}
Oct 30th 2009 1:14PM It is a horrible name. Just because you can make a pun, does not mean that you should. And it certainly doesn't mean you should use it as your corporate identity.
British NHS lauds Wii Fit Plus for flabby bum-busting potential {Engadget}
Oct 27th 2009 4:16PM Wii fit might help me get in better shape if I stopped drinking beer between each set.
