Motorola might be looking to sell set-top business, we've got $5 on it {Engadget HD}
Nov 12th 2009 1:32PM How about we get some teeth into making access cards the standard and then let these crap, over priced monopoly boxes fade away. My moto PVR couldn't possibly be a bigger POS.
Blockbuster kiosks to offer movies on SD cards, you some candy as you checkout {Engadget HD}
Nov 11th 2009 12:12PM This might be able to get some mileage in some where like Canada which has completely missed the whole video over internet thing that the US has. If the BB is sitting beside the grocery store you go to all the time you could load up on say 5 movies or some thing on that trip to the store. It gives the potential for more choice. They can get some mileage if they have better quality than internet downloads. People also wouldn't need megabuck internet connections to use the service.
Poll: Would you buy a TV running ChromeOS? {Engadget HD}
Jul 13th 2009 2:50PM What makes any one think that the ChromeOS vapour ware would be any good at this at all? Every one on line has been falling all over them selves to declare that Google has completely won the internet, the OS, and all application space based on a press release. Not every thing Google does turns into gold. There isn't any proof yet that ChromeOS won't suffer the same fate on the net top as Linux. Any one shipping a box with it won't get to renew their Windows licences so no one will ship with it.
Will the ChromeOS even be able to do what my current TV OS will? Will it brick my $3000 TV? Are developers going to want to support ChromeOS? Get back to me when there is actually some thing to talk about.
Blu-ray gets Managed Copy next year, requires new hardware {Engadget HD}
Jun 12th 2009 12:25PM So Microsoft got the monopoly they always wanted after all. Surprise! When will these ass holes learn that not every one wants to be beholden to Microsoft. Call me when they will let me do what I want with my files and use them with any OS of my choosing.
Sony still pushing the potential of BD-Live, but is anyone listening? {Engadget HD}
Apr 24th 2009 2:47AM BD live has always been and will always be about suckering people into buying a machine to enable the studios to move you to downloads.
Canada gets dose of local HD streaming with CTV HD Beta Player {Engadget HD}
Mar 23rd 2009 4:08AM I don't understand why they can't provide a normal web page with a link to an h.264 type file . Why should I have to buy Windows in order to watch stuff they can't give away for free already? Get back to me when they learn what standards are.
Audio watermarks let the MPAA know where a recording was taken, but not by whom {Engadget HD}
Mar 9th 2009 10:51AM I think you are missing the next step. Security cameras in the theaters. The plan is stupid, unworkable and intrusive when they add the cameras. That means the MPAA will be grabbing it with both hands.
HDNet Fights signs up with Ring of Honor wrestling {Engadget HD}
Jan 28th 2009 10:54AM HDNet has been backing away from being "The Home of MMA" for a while now. My guess is MMA is just becoming to expensive for them. As an MMA fan I find any other fight sport just to one dimensional and boring. The bad news is HDNet is loosing it's appeal for me. The good news is that HDNet was one of the last reasons for me to keep my satellite provider. Dumping them is getting more and more likely.
