Having an IM conversation with someone in Iran, turns out they "hate" Bush...so random. But I had to reply, "that's why I voted for Obama" 5 hrs ago
It looks like Apple dropped the video out functionality for the iPhone. Last week the iPhone was clearly marked as a supported device for both the component and composite cables, now neither cables have the iPhone logo and the descriptions look to have been edited.
This is just another thorn in Apple’s side with new cable backlash the “community” is expressing across the blogosphere. The issue is the switch to requires these “special” cables for all new iPods, the old cables aren’t compatible.…
Looks like Apple silently released the cables that enable video out for the iPhone. The awesome part: it has component out, RCA and USB for charging, all without another dock.

We’ve had the Tivo HD for a few weeks now and this post has waited just as long. I initially wanted to post about the unpacking, setup and all it’s features; like a real review. Instead I’m going to make this short since the Tivo HD has been exhaustively reviewed around the web already.
Setup:
In order to get HD you’ll either need an OTA HD tuner or HD cable cards from your cable provider. I called our cable provider shortly after the…
Don’t know if I should be excited about the Tivo HD that will be setup tomorrow with HD cable cards, Mario Strikers Charged for the Wii or the new driver I bought for the Friday Tournament. The next few days will be fun.
I’m getting ready to by the TiVo HD this week but Time Warner cable wants to charge me to schedule a guy to come out to plug the cable cards in. And they can’t just ship them to me, how annoying.
After just a few days of using the Apple TV I’m thoroughly impressed. The major reason I purchased the Apple TV was because of all the hacking that’s been going on and with Apple practically saying, “it’s your box do what you will” we can expect some more great hacks, if running full OS X wasn’t enough. I had planned at least to install some Xvid/divX playback through a very simple hack but involves cracking the case open. Instead of jumping right…
Work purchased a Black Macbook for me and I’m planning on triple booting it if I figure out why resizeVolume is error’ing out. I haven’t been able to use it until now because work has been crazy and I’m in the server room more than at my desk but already I like it. It’s going to take some time to get used to the desktop having less realestate, overall I prefer the smaller screen because it’s then a smaller computer.…
I’m having a tough time figuring out my TV situation. There are so many factors and so many price variations all with different cost benifits. More importantly, what we need vs. what we want. Oh, I guess what Sara wants is most important. Some items in my variations include:
Apple TV
New Vizio TV
Tivo Series 3
HD Over-the-Air antenna
HD Tuner (for current TV)
Component Switch
Wall mount kit
And the variations all include no cable bill but with having to buy new equipment that benefit of…
The Apple TV was the first out of the gate at today’s Macworld and it’s by far the most thing I’m excited about. The device is a media streaming device as well as a media player that syncs your library from another machine on it’s own hard drive, very similar to how an iPod syncs.
I’m interested in a few things: How well it will stream content on a G network since I rather get out the network cable again then…
So I bought the new iPod, I’ve had it a week and it’s pretty cool. Honestly there’s no difference except
the very noticeable screen brightness which helps at work. The search feature is awesome, but until I actually find myself using it it’s just another feature not to get excepted about. Oh, the headphones are great. I’m not too big on audio but they sound okay and most importantly they don’t hurt my ears.
All in all it’s a better iPod but…
