Dave Zatz It’s not that I don’t appreciate Logitech’s diNovo Mini keyboard and trackpad. It’s just that I can’t think of a use for this little guy since dismantling my HTPC(s) and projector 2.5 years ago. Back in the day, I settled on a Gyration set – less for mousing through the air, and more for the … Read more
Looks like I only managed to get half the story last Sunday – it was literally the last 5 minutes of the event and I missed a critical piece of the equation. Thursday AM I managed to swing by TiVo’s booth and got a bit more information… In addition to manually configuring video folder monitoring … Read more
The bombshell: Warner Bros announces they’re dropping the HD DVD format to exclusively produce Blu-ray Discs. The aftershock: HD DVD Promotion Groups cancels their press conference.

As with most folks, I didn’t encounter anything truly revolutionary… though it’s not always immediately apparent at CES what may be a game-changer, with thousands of companies competing for attention. Having said … Read more
Sorry the blog’s been so quiet, but from last Friday until this AM I’ve been on the clock at CES. I’m at the airport now and heading home. Once I’ve had a full night of sleep, I’ve got about a dozen stories queued up (in my head and on my camera) that I intend to … Read more
Both TiVo and Sling had tables at the Digital Experience press event last night, so with about ten minutes left in the show I was able to sneak away for more details on the forthcoming TiVo Desktop PC software. Perhaps I’m overtired, because when I had originally received the embargoed press release on Saturday I … Read more
