PSN redesign unveiled; no new content for two weeks [Update] {PS3 Fanboy}
Mar 31st 2008 12:08PM I strongly agree. An application-based interface rather than a web-based interface is the way to go. Just look at other examples such as the iTunes Store or Xbox Live Marketplace. Browsing those stores feel like you're browsing an extension of the device. The problem with a web-based playstation store is the feeling that the store isn't connected to the rest of the console.. I feel like I'm entering a twilight zone of sorts when I enter the PSN store.
Sony needs to realize that consistency is the key, and they've done a great job with consistency on the PS3 for the most part. However, even with this new store update, I don't feel like Sony understands how to make a console-based store. This is probably why I rarely buy games off of PSN.
Is your Airport Extreme suddenly Time Machine-happy? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Mar 19th 2008 9:26PM Try TimeMachineEditor. It seems to work fine for me after the update.
Is your Airport Extreme suddenly Time Machine-happy? {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Mar 19th 2008 9:23PM I have been happily using Time Machine to back up to a SMB mount for several months now. You just need to get "iTimeMachine".
This setup has been working great. Backups and restores occur without a hitch.

Apple unveils the Apple TV, take 2 {Engadget}
Jan 15th 2008 3:30PM Yeah, support from all the studios. Microsoft only has a couple studios on board, I believe.
Nullriver releases MediaLink for PS3 {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 8th 2008 4:47PM I have been using Connect360 from NullRiver for a long time. It's a great app, and NullRiver is quick to update the product when necessary.
I would like to get MediaLink for my PS3, but I'm wondering if Nullriver has any plans to give a Medialink discount for Connect360 owners.
Logitech Harmony One gets reviewed {Engadget}
Jan 6th 2008 10:07AM Yes, I was hoping the next generation of Harmony mice had built in bluetooth to control my PS3, so I was disappointed to hear that the Harmony One doesn't have bluetooth. I'll just have to stick with my Harmony 520 for a bit longer.
Things public preview released {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 4th 2008 12:59PM As an FYI, Cultured Code announced pricing for Things. It will be $49, or $39 if you sign up for their newsletter by January 31st.
I've been using the alpha version of Things, and I really enjoy it. However, I don't think it's worth $40, as it seems like it's more of a $20 app. I will probably go back to iGTD instead.
HP's new MediaSmart Receiver does Media Center Extender (and more) {Engadget}
Jan 3rd 2008 1:25AM I currently use my Xbox 360 as a media center extender for all TV viewing. It's a great setup, and in my opinion, Media Center has the next best UI to TiVo.
The only annoying part of this setup is the startup. It takes about 1 minute after pressing the power button on the remote for the Xbox 360 to boot up, launch the Media Center Extender, and connect to my computer. This is unlike TiVo, which is instantly available as soon as you turn on your TV. Does this new generation of media extenders address this problem?
