Who Needs A DVD When You Have A
Microsoft Media Center?
07/14/2004 05:22 AMWell, I'm sure some folks will make a bigger deal out of this than
necessary, but Bill Gates is now claiming that
the DVD has no
future. He believes in 10 years it will be completely obsolete.
As he says, it makes no sense for people to be carrying around
portable media that can get scratched, lost or broken. While the
Inquirer then knocks Gates by pointing out he once predicted the
internet had no future either, this prediction really isn't that
ridiculous. As overall storage and broadband connections grow, it may
become pointless to ever carry around a DVD. Some might say the
process has already started (though, with questionable legality in
some circles). Of course, what isn't mentioned is that Gates hopes
that what used to be your DVD collection will, instead, reside on a
Microsoft powered "Media Center" that you can access from anywhere.

06/04/2004 12:40 PMNewsGator Offering in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004
Enables Users to Read Selected Content, or Watch On-Demand Video
Content
DENVER, CO - June 4, 2004 - Today, NewsGator Technologies announced
that the recently launched NewsGator Media Edition is featured in
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004's "Online Spotlight," an online
guide created specifically for Media Center Edition PC customers that
offers a central location for them to find the latest third-party
services and software, such as music, movie trailers, news updates and
even Karaoke.
NewsGator provides a mechanism for Media Center PC users to easily
find NewsGator software and services online, without having to
separately download anything from the NewsGator web site. Both text
and multimedia content is supported, and information that has not
already been viewed on another device can be displayed by
synchronizing user subscriptions with NewsGator Online Services.
"We're excited to be included in Online Spotlight - this will
dramatically increase our visibility to the many thousands of Media
Center PC users," said Greg Reinacker, President & Founder of
NewsGator Technologies.
NewsGator Media Center Edition is included as part of NewsGator
Online Services. NewsGator Online Services includes three other
content reader editions, which allow users to read content they have
subscribed to from any web browser (with Web Edition), any email
client (with POP Edition), and from a mobile wireless device (with
Mobile Edition), which is a powerful feature for road warriors who use
mobile devices to access information while on the road. The service
also provides exclusive, subscriber-only content to its subscribers,
as well as the ability to search for content that matches a specific
keyword or URL, and return that content in a feed. NewsGator Online
Services pricing starts at $5.95/month per user.
"Media Center PCs allow consumers to have faster and more efficient
access to all of their favorite digital content when, where, and how
they want," said Brad Brooks, Director of Marketing at Microsoft Corp.
"With the NewsGator Media Center Edition, NewsGator Technologies is
delivering a complementary and innovative service that will let Media
Center Edition PC users easily access their customized choice of news
services."
More about NewsGator Media Center Edition
This is the latest step in the "any time, any place, any device"
strategy that distinguishes the NewsGator product line. NewsGator
Online Services allows users to read one set of content from any
device, without duplication. The combined power of NewsGator Media
Center Edition and Online Services offers customers a productive and
fun way to access their personalized subscriptions and information
from any device, whenever they need it.

12/29/2004 11:54 AMThis month's Top 15 Desktop PCs chart highlights two trends: the
emergence of powerful new gaming systems that have sophisticated
style, and the rapidly growing selection of Media Center PCs, which
expand PC-based home entertainment beyond gaming. Examples of the
former are two new Athlon-fueled machines that sit atop the power
section of our chart: Alienware's Aurora 64 FX-55 and ABS's Ultimate
M5-64. Both of these systems are visually appealing without shouting
"I'm just for games." Not only are they the two fastest systems on the
chart, but they also produced outstanding sound with their high-end
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 cards and their 5.1-channel Logitech
speakers (the X-530 and the Z-680, respectively).

be able to create some monster apps for this thing. If all this is
true, it's one of the most under-promoted products in history. [Scripting News]
Don't worry Dave. Microsoft is still ironing out the wrinkles
in this premature spec. It's not really a 1.0 yet.
But it will be. There rae no services, apps or content for

announced a new bit of plug-in software for Media Center 2005 that
will allow you to take control of your lighting, security,

It's not free, though, which is sort of a bummer, especially since it
is clearly something that is only useful for HAI users, and no price
has yet been announced.
