AMEX DIGITAL's Mac mini Blu-ray drive upgrade kit is not what it seems {Engadget}
Nov 11th 2009 7:10AM The older model monitors (the 30" non LED) don't support HDCP - it is supported on the newer LED 24", and hopefully on the new LED iMacs - once the BD drive price comes down enough to not eat into Apple's 30% margin, and they can wrangle a deal with the studios, it'll trickle down. Totally sucks though given the high prices on most of the hardware.
VIZIO brings the LED party to 19- and 23-inch models {Engadget}
Oct 28th 2009 9:11AM my 2009 Vizio 37" inch has a better image and blacks than my 2007 Sony 32" - Sony has better speakers though. Build quality much improved over Vizio of 4-5 years ago. Costco will take it back within 90 days if you hate it, worth checking out IMHO,

Oct 19th 2009 9:34PM We're still in the middle of a recession - hopefully they're willing to sacrifice some of the fat profit margin and go for volume (as hinted in the conference call) today - they have to knock minimum $100 off the base mini - $150 off the higher spec one.
Apple reports fiscal Q4 earnings: $1.67b profit, Mac sales way up, iPod sales down, 'great new products' for 2010 {Engadget}
Oct 19th 2009 5:30PM Grea tnew products in the pipeline better not translate to FlowerPower and Dalmation this time...
Dell Mini 10v reviewed with Ubuntu Moblin Remix {Engadget}
Oct 14th 2009 6:26PM Moblin beta booted off an SD card seems to run Hulu a LOT better than OSX off the internal hard drive (MSI WindU100) though otherwise the browser is kinda weak. Easy to learn OS though (moblin with its tabs) for the pre-pre-tween/senior set (I tutor both a 5yo and an 84 year old and am always looking for something bulletproof)

Oct 14th 2009 5:31PM If they didn't teach us about you canadians in our fine public learning institutions, then you don't officially exist. All we know here South of the border is your square car wheels and fully detached upper heads.

the mouse with the ball that can't be cleaned
the 1st 2nd and 3rd gen Airport base stations with no vents and bad capacitors
ibooks and powerbooks that have to be completely dismantled to swap out a hard drive
