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.

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.

In the Charts: Media Center 2005 PCs
Take Center Stage Among Desktops 12/29/2004 11:54 AM
This 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).

XP Media Center + RSS

XP Media Center + RSS 04/09/2004 04:11 PM

What is Windows XP Media Center? Apparently it's a TiVO-like box, that runs Windows XP apps, that you can access over your LAN, without hacking. In other words, it's a software platform. We should 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 this platform - yet.  But there will be.

I pictched some Microsoft people to demo thsi system with RSS. Let's see if that happens.

Amitech Media Center PC

Amitech Media Center PC 08/09/2004 09:46 AM

There's nothing rotten about this Danish-born Amitech media center, a small form factor PC with a built-in FM radio and TV tuner that can record both television shows, radio, and CDs. And while the specs look pretty good, with a 3-gigahertz Pentium 4 in the nougaty center, the best part is the price: the Amitech Media Center should retail for under $1,000 USD.

My Danish is a little bit cheesed, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the unit, while running Windows XP, does not run Windows Media Center. If any of you can parse the Danes' internetstik I'd be happy to take corrections. (Thanks, Jakub!)
