It's not much more than a hard
drive with HD media playback abilities, but the Packard Bell Studio ST certainly looks nice,
doesn't it? It's Europe-only for now, but we're hoping parent company Acer brings over a US-branded
version of this box, which holds up to a 2TB hard drive and can do 1080p out over HDMI with Dolby
Digital. Codec support is described as "all main formats," which is a little shady, but we'll be
forgiving if it's cheaper than the Western Digital WD TV Live HD.
Outre ses nombreux modèles LED 3D, Sony va commercialiser dans les semaines à venir
cette série de TV LCD Full HD Bravia EX40B, dotée d'un lecteur Blu-Ray
intégré.

Review Toshiba is late to the Blu-ray party, having waited a decent interval
after the death of HD-DVD. The BDX2000 - oh, how futuristic products used to seem, just by adding
the millennium to their name - is its first offering. It’s a sleek unit, with a pull-down
front panel that hides the disk tray, display, controls and an SD card slot....
Numericable avait été le premier à lancer une offre Tripleplay à

que l'offre allait évoluer vers moins de services pour le même prix. Les consommateurs
ont largement fait part de leur colère dans les divers forums. L'opérateur annonce
faire marche arrière dès le 15 mars face à la grogne que cette modification a
provoquée. Retour d'un internet 100 Mbps, TNT HD et des 53 destinations

totalement incompatible avec les logiciels actuels et que les mises à jour vers Windows

S'il ne faut pas déjà enterrer Windows Mobile 6, certains semblent avoir
déjà tourné la page en portant avec succès le système Android

Here's this week's PlayStation Video Store update. From award winning movies like The Hurt Locker,
Inglourious Bastards and Precious, to some awesome HD TV shows, this weeks line up got you all
covered.
You
picked up an Okoro media PC last month, didn't
you? If you're nodding up and down in a worried fashion, you're probably better off ignoring
everything else we'll say in this post. For the rest of you HTPC hounds, the boutique outfit has something that's very
likely to pique your interest (and kick that upgrade itch into high gear). Announced today, the
company is adding Core i3 and Core i5 processors to its 2010 media center PC lineup, and as if the
extra horsepower weren't enough, users will also find native bitstreaming of TrueHD and DTS-HD
Master Audio on every system save for the Q100.
You'll also get a 64-bit copy of Windows 7, up to 8TB of internal storage space, optional Blu-ray
playback, quad CableCARD support and the new holy grail of transfers, USB 3.0. You can hit up the outfit's webstore now to
configure your dream machine, and if you so desire, you can check out its dedicated trade-up
program that'll last through May 31st.
Mark Cuban and Avner Ronen met in person for the first time just before their Pay TV vs. Internet
debate here at South by Southwest Interactive—about 20 minutes before their session was
interrupted by a fire alarm. But they argue like a married couple that’s been together for
20 years, complete with sharp barbs. That’s because the debate isn’t new: they
started that drill online a year ago and neither has budged as best I can tell—if anything,
their attitudes are more entrenched. HD Net founder Cuban believes in subscription TV and sees
Ronen, the CEO of Boxee, as representing free-only; Ronen believes TV over the internet is the
present—and the future but a la carte. He’s not anti-pay per se—Boxee is
working on a pay offering—but anti-establishment TV. Cuban doesn’t see an internet TV
business model that works yet.
“If you’re counting on the internet replacing cable, you’re crazy,” says
Cuban; Ronen posits it as generational—if you’‘re 50 with HD, you’re
comfortable the way things are; if you’re 23 and getting your first apartment, you see
things differently. Cuban doesn’t see the same possibility of making money from TV online;
he’d rather get small amounts—when he can—from multichannel distributors.
Introduced during last PMA as well as a few days ago in Japan at CP+ 2010, the New Sony Alpha compact APS HD CMOS
prototypes, is still a mystery, however, Sony Europe published a few days ago a promotional
video where we can get a better understanding of the camera, since the entire video seems to has
been shot with it as well as its UI...

Ronen on Redbox: “You’re already going to the supermarket to pick up condoms and
you’re picking up the movie.”
Cuban: “When you’re in an a la carte universe, the cost of marketing goes through the
roof.”
Let’s make a deal: But he told Ronen: “If you offer me $3 a sub for all
million of your subs, I’ll do it.” Ronen replied, “If I bring you a deal
that pays you three bucks a sub ...” Cuban reminded him it would take a guarantee.
Ronen asked if he would do with a guarantee. Cuban said yes and offered him the same as the HD
Net rate card: “You take rate card for a half-million subs and you’ve got a
deal.” Work in progress.
Jusqu'à maintenant, la présentation officielle du PlayStation Move peut être
considérée comme la seule véritable révélation du salon
américain de San Francisco, la Game Developers Conference 2010. Si l'on lancera le
débat demain soir sur LiveWii, on attendait cependant une intervention de Nintendo à
son sujet. Point géographique oblige, c'est l'inénarrable Reggie Fils-Aimé qui
s'y colle et confirme que la suite des événéments ne se passera pas sur Wii,
mais sur quelque chose de plus innovant. Et qu'à la place des autres compétiteurs, il
se sentirant embarrassé de copier ce qui se fait déjà". Ça,
c'est dit. C'est une fois de plus l'excellent site Kotaku qui s'est chargé de recueillir les
impressions du président de la division américaine et ce dernier s'est laissé
aller à quelques confidences notamment quand on le questionne si l'arrivée de la
détection de mouvements sur consoles HD n'est pas le moment pour Nintendo de songer à
voir plus loin..."Pour nous, la haute-définition à proprement parlé n'est pas
la prochaine frontière. Selon nous, on a besoin de fournir une toute nouvelle
expérience irresistible pour notre prochaine génération. Et ce moment n'est
pas absolument pas tributaire à une durée de vie arbitraire de la console
actuelle."Il continue en évoquant l'Orient : "Quand M. Miyamoto ira voir M. Iwata et lui
dira : "J'ai une grande idée mais je ne peux pas la réaliser sur Wii", à ce
moment-là on amènera une nouvelle génération de console. Ce qu'elle
apportera, on verra par la suite. Je pense que M. Miyamoto lui-même s'est dit être
intéressé par la haute-définition,mais pour être clair à 120%, la
HD ne se suffit pas à elle seule pour définir l'arrivée de la console qui
succèdera à la Wii. Au contraire, à nous d'être aussi cohérent
que possible comme ce fut le cas avec la mise sur le marché de la Wii et la DS."Mais il se
veut confiant pour la prochaine console : "Ce sera un courant dominant. Elle encouragera encore
plus de consommatateurs à entrer dans la catégorie que nous aimons. Elle offrira de
toutes nouvelles expériences uniques assez expressives pour la base de clients potentiels.
Ce sont ces principes qui nous animent.""La sceau de fabrique de Nintendo, c'est que nous essayons
toujours d'innover. Je pense vraiment que nous aurions été embêtés de
faire quelque chose que la concurrence fait déjà." Après une bonne vieille
attaque digne du temps de l'affrontement entre Sega et Nintendo (oui, ça fait du bien quand
même !), il conclut avec des phrases chics et chocs :"Donc, tout ce que je peux vous dire
pour le moment, c'est que nous allons innover. Nous allons apporter quelque chose de nouveau,
quelque chose que le consommateur et l'industrie regarderont et devant laquelle ils s'exclameront :
'Wow, je ne l'avais pas vu venir celle-là.'"Mais il confirme cependant que la Wii n'est pas
encore morte. Loin de là vu les chiffres de ventes faramineux...
There was an interesting debate on today’s Ron and
Fez that speaks to a subject we’ve been whinging about for some time now: digital
delivery of content, specifically of music. Pink Floyd
has won a court ruling that will put an end to places like iTunes selling its songs individually. The
band feels that their music can only truly be appreciated in the album format, from start to
finish, and it never liked people being able to pick and choose what songs they wanted to
download.
I will say this right now: I’m not a Pink Floyd fan. I have nothing against them, but when
kids were starting to get into bands like Pink Floyd, say around age 13 or 14, I was busy playing
Final Fantasy. It’s a case of not being exposed to their music, and at this point,
I’m not going to bother. My loss, I suppose. But don’t cry for me, because
that’s makes me especially suited to write this story—I have no emotional attachment
to the band in question.
The gist of the ruling—The High Court in the UK, to be exact—is that EMI, the
band’s record label, won’t be allowed to sell individual songs from its catalog
online. That means, from now on, you’ll only be able to buy The Wall as a full album
online, and not merely “In The Flesh?” and “The Thin Ice.”
Yes, I had to Wiki that. Again, I wouldn’t know a Pink Floyd song if [insert cliché
here].
That’s the debate: should consumers be allowed to buy whatever song they want without
having to buy an entire album?
One side says, “Yes, consumers should be able to pick and choose whatever song they want
without worrying about what any band says. Just because a band ’says’ its music can
only be appreciated in album form doesn’t make it so. Is There Will Be Blood any
less valuable when you’re watching the Blu-ray on your 60-inch plasma instead of at an
actual movie theater?” (I’d say no, it’s not any less valuable, especially
since I can control the viewing environment when I’m watching the Blu-ray—no having
to worry about loud idiots texting back and forth with their mates.)
The other side says, “Well, Pink Floyd made the music, and only they know how it
can be appreciated. If they intended for the songs to be listened to as an album, we as consumers
should appreciate their artistic wishes.”
While I side with the first opinion, the fact is I really don’t care too passionately one
way or the other. The band wants you to buy albums? Fine, whatever.
But surely Pink Floyd understands how music is consumed in the year 2010: people put their
iPhone or iPod or Zune HD or whatever on shuffle mode, run on the
treadmill at the gym for 20 minutes, and hear “Poker Face,” “Run This Town,” and “Lay in a Shimmer” all in a row. Young
people ask, “What’s an album? I only listen to my Spotify playlist when I’m
writing about what I did on my summer vacation.”
Don’t expect to see this trend—going back to album-based music sales—continue
beyond Pink Floyd. The music industry knows people are already used to buying this or that song
from iTunes, and it’s in no position to say, “Actually, we want album sales now.
Sorry.” It’s grateful that people are buying music at all, let alone expecting people
to buy entire albums.
This is where I throw it to y’all: is Pink Floyd in the right here? Should a band be
allowed to dictate how its fans listen its music? Or is this a giant “who cares?”
debate?
Greetings humans! If you've seen The Engadget Show, then you've been privy to some
pretty incredible performances by a group of musicians and artists who eschew familiar instruments
in exchange for hacked and modded handheld gaming devices. We grabbed our cameras and got a brief
look at the history of the chiptunes movement, the difference between Game Boy music and music from
Game Boys, and most importantly, how these artists and visualists make it all happen. Kick back and
take a look at the segment (featuring the likes of Glomag,
Paris, and Outpt) --
you'll be glad you did!

With the Japanese console release of BlazBlue: Continuum Shiftapproaching,
publisher Arc System Works sent out a new trailer of the HD fighting followup. Instead of
uninterrupted footage of giant sprites brawling, Arc has presented what looks like the game's
intro, a hyperkinetic anime clip featuring dramatic poses, exciting fight sequences, and ... the
Earth being shot from orbit?
At the end of the trailer, after the release date, is a brief reminder of the new
character added to the console version of Continuum Shift: the new character μ-12. Aksys
Games has yet to announce a localized version of Continuum Shift, but if you absolutely
have to buy a new BlazBlue disc, the company released the PSP port of the first BlazBlue this
week.

Shuo en Chine, a sorti un tablet qui est étonnamment, car il a un écran 10.1". Vous
y trouverez un processeur 1.2GHz ou VIA ou une variété Atom, et il peut
gérer jusqu'à 2Go de RAM. Il y aura également une sortie HDMI, mais sans
aucune info sur une puce de lecture compatible HD, on se demande à quoi sert cette sortie.
La rumeur est que Windows 7 serait le système d'exploitation choisi, mais il faudra
attendre attendre pour connaître le prix et la disponibilité.
SpeedBit’s Free Video boost the speed of video downloading speed and also ends
interruptions in video streaming.
No More Freezing YouTube Videos
I have a fairly old Sony VAIO computer, around 10 years old, that I still use because I
don’t have the heart to put it out to pasture yet. Â And being an old computer,
I’ve had problems with YouTube videos that will freeze a couple seconds into each clip.
The videos start like normally, then just freeze completely, showing that the video is loading
but going nowhere. Â I do all I can to keep the computer in good shape, but alas, those
videos would just keep freezing on me. Â So what to do…?
The Accelerating Solution…
So I recently gave SpeedBit’s free Video Accelerator a try, and it did a great job speading
up streaming videos on my old box. Â No more freezing.
What SpeedBit’s accelerator does is integrates itself automatically with your Web browser
and system, and then, once you start viewing videos SpeedBit goes to work behind the scenes and
kicks things up a notch.
SpeedBit Accelerator at Work
When you start a video up in YouTube, the video will reach a point when it previously have frozen
and a popup will appear in the lower right corner of your screen, telling you that it’s now
running:
According to SpeedBit’s site, the Video Accelerator supports videos from over 150 sites
such as:
YouTube
Yahoo
Dailymotion
Metacafe
Facebook
MySpace
5min
Veoh
Grouper
Stage 6
AOL Video
Bebo
Break
EA
ESPN
Etc.
Although not included in the list, I also tried out some clips on Hulu and these all ran
perfectly as well (Yay! More ‘Greatest American Hero’!)
SpeedBit Video Accelerator: Free Version vs. Premium
It should be noted that the SpeedBit Video Accelerator program is a free download, but if you
want the full version with all the bells and whistles (namely, HD Video Acceleration and iTunes
Acceleration) you will need to purchase the premium version (currently $19.99 a year.)
But for all that it does offer with the free program, its definitely worth checking out as the
boost in video streaming speed is noteworthy.
