Myths About Stereo Speakers

Polk Audio RM6700 - Electronics Reviews - CNET.com has some good reviews on Polk Audio RM6700 speakers. I recently replaced my 20 year old KLH, giant floor speakers with these and am I ever glad I did. I did not know what a good sound system could sound like until I installed these little jewels. You can also read a very interesting article about Bose speakers at this location. It is a very revealing article and kind of deflates some myths about audio speakers. I am glad I read this before I shelled out a lot more money for speakers that would not sound as good as the ones I got.

Comical Ali Web Site Crashes

Ananova - 'Comical Ali' proves too popular online. This is really funny. The Iraqi Information Minister is now known as "Comical Ali" as a result of his hilarious news briefings. There was a web site devoted to his statements but it was so popular that it got 4,000 visitors a second causing the site to be shut down. The name of the site itself is highly entertaining. It is www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com . The last time I checked it was still down. I can't wait for it to come back up again. Reminds me of the old "All your base are us." movement a couple of years ago.

Another Tivo "Enhancement" Site

TiVo Updating Over Dedicated Internet HOWTO is another good Tivo "enhancement" site. I ordered a hard drive this weekend to expand my DirecTivo to 150 hours of storage. That should allow us to keep our favorite movies on the unit all the time. Much better than VHS tape and much more accessible.

Tivo Info Site

DealDatabase Forum - Deals, Freebies, TiVo Hacking, HP Digital Entertainment Center - powered by vBulletin is another great source for detailed info on Tivo and Tivo upgrades. This one thanks to a referral by Leo Laporte on TechTV's Screensavers show who sent me the link by email.

Tivo Hacking Guide

Here is a detailed guide to expanding your Tivo's capabilities.


First Time Hack

Audio Video Information Site

The following link is a great site for Audio Video equipment. What I like about it is the fact that you can click on images of the back panels and front panels of various units. You can really check out the connectors on these before you buy.
