I thought Drew’s comment explaining his purchase and modification of the TiVo HD was thorough enough that I’m publishing it here on its own. My own TiVo HD is currently en route from wherever Amazon was holding it hostage over the weekend; I’ll post my impressions after I get it set up.

HD-DVD is dead. Yet again, my strategy of waiting it out seems to have been vindicated. I’m still not interested in a Blu-Ray player, but if a movie or a deal were compelling enough, I now feel that I could pull the trigger on HD movies without locking myself into a potential dud. […]

The MacBook came with Leopard pre-installed and I was expecting to jump right in and install Windows. Turns out Apple simply forgot to include BootCamp on the latest image they were […]
Playing Half-Life 2 on my MacBook Pro works great in Vista via BootCamp, but after seeing the worst promotional video of all time I had to check it out for myself using CrossOver Mac 6.2 on Leopard.
