That's Microsoft Entertainment 07/22/2004 11:08 AM

Microsoft announced the formation of its Media/Entertainment & Technology Convergence Group, a move it says addresses the trepidation that industry executives have regarding the software company's history. The company tapped Blair Westlake, former Universal Television Networks Group chairman, to head up the group as its corporate vice president.

AP - CinemaNow Inc., the Internet-based movie service, is a rarity in Hollywood — a company that eagerly embraces Microsoft Corp. technology and relies on it exclusively to transmit, protect and display the movies it rents to customers. Then again, Microsoft is a major investor in the company, which is also owned by independent studio Lions Gate.

Personal-computer kingpins Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp. are angling for a more prominent position in the nation's living rooms, with designs of enthroning the PC as the new centerpiece of home entertainment, Monday's Wall Street Journal reported. The two giants will detail their latest assault at this week's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. There they plan to discuss a series of products that they say will make it easier to use PCs to organize movies, music and television shows while shuttling that media around the home. The announcements should also serve as a stepping stone in the two companies' decade-long quest to embed Microsoft software and Intel microchips directly into televisions.

Microsoft says it has learned from its earlier, sometimes heavy-handed, dealings with Hollywood.

Every once in a while, the dance between trends and technology achieves an almost perfect state of synchronicity that changes the way we experience the world. This may be one of those times. Among the trends: five years ago, less than 13 percent of Internet users had a digital-music file on their computer. Now, 70 percent of computer users listen to music on their PCs. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Last year, more than 100 million digital photos were taken. More and more people are using PCs to view videos. By the end of this year, 9.5 million TV tuner cards will have shipped.

I never really have ever liked video games. I think most computer games are a waste of valuable time, that you could be using to do something much more productive. (Go learn a programming language. Build a rocket. Anything.) I always felt that if you wanted to play games you would just buy a game console.

I've got a playstation 2. This is just in case I really need to take a break. I don't usually use it, and plus there is always Qui nn, for OS X. But every once and a while I get the urge to play GT3 or some other game. I bought Parappa the Rappa 2 a while ago, and I love it. Today I went to the game stop and picked up Tetris Worlds, Parappa the Rappa (1), and Unjammy Lammy. All 3 are sweet.

I played Tetris Worlds against my girlfriend for about 3 hours today. Man, she whomped on me. Of course I wouldn't admit this, but dang, she's good. I guess I'm not as good at Tetris as I thought I was!

A teacher at my school got thirty two thousand and something on Quinn. Holy shnikees. Try beating that score!

I got dragged away from my entertaining computer to be entertained by a set of entertainers across town last night. We had a general idea what to expect, but didn't really understand what was waiting for us on stage: a comedian, a guitarist, and a musical genius named Andy. It doesn't take much to capture my attention, but (generally speaking) I pay immediate heed to Stand-Up routines. Blaine Capatch was nearing the end of his set, playing with dorky little puppets and trying to get us to laugh. He whips out this "99˘ Only" bunny rabbit puppet - still stuck to its cardboard backing. According to him, the cloth-creature was missing an eye and its mouth was cock-eyed. So, this guy starts animating the puppet with his own voice, all muffled and slurred. In a split second, I went from zero to ludicrous speed. Hyena time! Since I was the only one busting a gut, I tried to contain myself. It didn't work. Honestly, that was the funniest thing I had seen / heard in a LONG time; I wish someone would have recorded it....

ECS EZ-Bundle 2 Entertainment PC


ECS EZ-Bundle 2 Entertainment PC 06/14/2004 01:13 PM

ezbuddie2l.jpg imageAlthough I was too excited at first, thinking that the ECS EZ-Bundle 2 small form factor PC had an integrated front-LCD panel, it's still a nice looking box, with the front display looking every bit the part of a stereo system component. It's actually fairly large for a SFF PC, but small enough for most I would imagine, especially since the bundled 17-inch LCD and other accessories means this is probably more for those who use their computer as their entire entertainment system and not part of a dedicated Home Theater PC setup.

Really, though, it'd be nice if someone would start putting a small LCD on the front of the boxes as a secondary display -- 640 x 480 would suffice -- so you could queue up movies or music, tweak settings, or pop out to the net for a second without having to disrupt the visuals on the primary display.
