Long time, no tweet! I finally came up with an idea for my phrind.com domain, and its for kids. 5 2009/12/02
Time flies when you're not having fun. Anyway, found a great deal on 4-port USB 2.0 hubs with a power supply at Walmart. Red tagged at US$15 5 2009/07/12
As always, I endeavor to continue on no matter what. I know I have a lot of loyal readers, but it would be nice to hear from you on occasion 5 2009/06/25
I'm holding on as well as I can, which isn't very well. This economy is eating my family alive, but them's are the breaks. 5 2009/06/25
You can't get the whole app. Just one window. That's stupid. 5 2009/06/10

HP Kills Media Center PC Line

March 29th, 2007 | Tags: Opinion | Category: General News

I just love this quote I got off of AppleInsider:

“This not a statement about Media Center PCs. It doesn’t mean Media Center isn’t going to be successful,” claimed HP channel manager Doug Robert. “It’s just that we’re discontinuing development.”

That’s so funny! Untrue, but funny. If HP, one of the world’s largest PC makers, is dumping a technology it means that said technology is sucking. Of course, based on my year and a half as Director of IT at DISCover PC Gaming, I can tell you that the hardware sucked, too. Maybe they’re giving up because they can’t build a reliable PC to save their lives or maybe its because they can’t sell enough Media Center PCs to validate the expense. I’d prefer to think they’re jumping ship because the Apple TV simply rocks and Windows MCE doesn’t.
