So I just received the one above. Now, there was a lot of flickering over the component connector on my TV, I'm guessing it's because my TV is extremely old (tube, curvy screen) and maybe there's a NTFS/PAL issue. Anyway, I'm going to try with the HDMI connector now, it should work.Why on earth have you even tried component connectors when there's HDMI available?-superboyac (November 06, 2012, 01:07 PM)
However, this little device is brilliant. It definitely can play 1080p files off of any USB device connected to it. And it's tiny! Any file...mp4, avi, xvid, you name it. And very smooth also. $60. Amazing. All the media players offered in our country require streaming, not this guy.The WD TV boxes aren't available where you live?-superboyac (November 06, 2012, 01:07 PM)
At £8400 I would expect something akin to a supercomputer!I'd have trouble building one single computer at such a high price point, even if I went for Ridiculous Speed O_o-Carol Haynes (November 06, 2012, 06:06 AM)

Since this thread is a year and a half old, I am reopening it to ask if either of you have installed MyPhoneExplorer (the desktop client) lately. It is the subject of my first ever Google Play reviewI actually did, and ended up with some crap on my system as well (apparently some "IM smiley pack" thingy, can't remember the name) - only noticed it because Skype started crashing - I assume the crapware hooked into IE, and Skype uses the IE rendering engine... or something.Malware alert: avoid like a sharp stick.-daddydave (November 04, 2012, 08:38 AM)
Wasn't that fairly thoroughly debunked in a recent IEEE article?The patents even use Microsoft's marketing term, "Tiles". I just wonder how MS missed these patents and didn't get ahead of the issue long before releasing Win8.-mwb1100 (November 02, 2012, 03:18 AM)
Goes way back to how MS stole code from CP/M. MS seems to have made themselves from the hard work of others throughout their lifetime....-Tinman57 (November 02, 2012, 07:31 PM)
Nope...I don't want less government in my life. I want less 'corporation.'And once again 40hz is spot on the sugar. Bravo, sir!-40hz (November 01, 2012, 02:36 PM)
Moral of the story: be ready to switch suppliers at the drop of a hat!Moral of the story: "unlimited storage" and "lifetime licenses" aren't sustainable business plans, so expect any such terms to change sooner than later-dr_andus (October 31, 2012, 04:37 PM)

ohn Carter was supposed to be good, but it apparently wasn't (I saw it, but I'm not familiar with John Carter, so I'm lost in the discussion).It's hilarious if you're a bunch of friends that are massive drunk or hung over, and make silly comments throughout the movie (I don't think I've ever heard (or said) the sentence "NOW KISS!" as many times in a day as when watching JC). Other than that, the movie is just plain lousy. I do like that the protagonist is rather an anti-hero, though.-superboyac (October 31, 2012, 09:43 AM)
Another thing that really sucks about CrashPlan is the upload speed.. I'm regularly topping out at 30k/s.That's so slow it's pretty near useless. Have you tried contacting them about it?-mouser (October 30, 2012, 07:07 PM)
I think it's the ugliest thing I have ever seen!IMHO the core forMErTRO design is elegant - but it's slightly ruined by the garish color palette, and moreso by allowing images on the tiles.-TaoPhoenix (October 29, 2012, 12:14 PM)
Dishonored! I just go through playing it, and it's awesome! I have a review on my site... if you want to buy, the affiliate links there would help... but just buy! It was a good game, no matter where you get it from.Seconded!-wraith808 (October 28, 2012, 04:17 PM)
), being goodie-twoshoes and überstealthy. The 2nd playthrough is on Hard, and it's semi-stealthy (this time I've even used the pistol!) and ruthless but not all-out psychopathic (I try to avoid civilian losses, but I kill "semi-innocents" such as guards if they cross my way). Definitely worth trying both playstyles.So I turned off the non-intrusive ads thinking that it had miscategorized, and they were still not blocked.Bad, bad, bad and FSCKING BAD!-wraith808 (October 27, 2012, 12:34 PM)

Thanks, f0dder, speedy resultsYeah - IMHO even imdisk, which does somewhat poorly on 4k is quite speedy - and in real life, you're normally going to be doing some data massaging, not just raw reads and writes, so I wonder how much the speed differences really matter... but I don't see much reason not to use SoftPerfect, all things considered.-Ath (October 22, 2012, 04:05 PM)
